• Notes

  He likely lived on land near or that was part of his father William's land. It was in his name when it was sold to Captain Samuel Johnston in 1849. At an early unrecorded date there was a road from the mouth of the Guyanodotte River movst. Crossing this river and the nearby adjoining Ohio River was a ferry service owned by Thomas Buffington. The Road went from Gyandotte to Big Sandy along the Gyandotte River banks where the following persons lived in order: Buffington, Adams, Russell, Laidley, Neff, Hite, Paine, Hampton, Scales, Brown, Henry Clark, Johnston, Pine, Bellamy, Paul, Poage, Negley which was at Four Pole and the Mccormicks and Handleys which took it to the mouth of Twelve Pole. This description sounds very much like it was land that originally belonged to our William Clark near Twelve Pole's. In 1837, on a knoll overlooking Ohio, a school was founded. It grew and was named Marshall Academy in 1838 with it's overseers being many of the above persons. After 1850, Henry Clark, was it's principal for a short period of time. It was later became known as Marshall College and drew students from the Virginias, Ohio and Kentucky.
