As a land surveyor I love hearing surveying stories. We joke that Mount Rushmore is 3 surveyors and another guy. It was such a respected profession. Can’t wait to dig into your channel more. This is my first listen.

Then we are related. His brother Thomas William Clark is my 5x great grandfather. He was at Valley Forge that awful winter. I believe George was 2 or 3 years older than Thomas.

My 9th great grandfather James Ramsey married Elizabeth "Betsy" Pittman in Harrodsburg in 1782. Later he was a private with Georger Rogers Clark in the Kaskaskia campaign and was at the Vincennes Fort Sackville campaign. I am wondering if he was in the Kentucky County militia?

He is best known for his exploits during the French And Indian War. His later years in Kentucky were practically unknown.

30 years after his death Virginia did pay Clarks widow 30,000 dollars that they owed him.
