He was moved to Locust Grove, the most commodious home his siblings could provide, where he lived for the remainder of his life. Having endured at least one stroke, his activity was limited, but his days were not without enjoyment. The Croghans had eight lively children, and their home was filled regularly with various nieces and nephews, neighbors, and men who wished to pay homage to the old soldier.\u0000It was at Locust Grove that Clark finally received a pension from Virginia, along with a ceremonial sword bearing an inscription that depicted his victory at Vincennes. His enslaved man, Kitt—a member of the Clark family from birth—joined Lucy Croghan in caring for Clark until his death on 13 February 1818. George Rogers Clark was buried at Locust Grove, and within eight weeks, Kitt was a free man.","PeriodicalId":161533,"journal":{"name":"George Rogers Clark and William Croghan","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126504625","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Wilkinson (Agent 13 to the Spanish), rose in military ranks through the Washington, Adams, and Jefferson administrations, although each president knew of his treason. After arriving in Kentucky with gubernatorial aspirations, Wilkinson provided Spain with suggested names of prominent Kentuckians who might accept bribes in exchange for supporting a Spanish affiliation over that of the United States. Clark’s name was not among them.\u0000With the help of his radical brother-in-law, Clark instead became a French general in command of a western army recruited to overthrow Spanish claims to Louisiana in favor of France. His French affiliation led in part to the declaration of the Neutrality Act and eventually to John Adams’s call for his arrest in Philadelphia. Clark concluded 1798 in St. Louis, estranged from the nation he helped create.","PeriodicalId":161533,"journal":{"name":"George Rogers Clark and William Croghan","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115605522","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The time is simple to grasp—it was the American Revolution and its immediate aftermath—but because Clark chose to remain a westerner rather than join the Continental Army, the place is complicated to explain and was unknown to nearly all of Washington’s troops. The discrepancies between the revolutions carried out on the Atlantic Coast and in the Ohio River valley are so great that many supporters of either sector appear, from time to time, to forget the other even existed. In fact, the two theaters operated tangentially, one under the financial control of the Continental Congress (for they offered Washington little else, and at that, inadequately), and the other directed by the governor of Virginia. That it worked cohesively at any level was the consequence of Washington’s Virginia roots, which allowed Patrick Henry and Thomas Jefferson to communicate freely with the commander-in-chief with little regard to Congress....","PeriodicalId":161533,"journal":{"name":"George Rogers Clark and William Croghan","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128241302","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Their future brother-in-law, Richard Clough Anderson, became the state’s continental line surveyor. The position required their presence at the Falls of the Ohio, near where the bulk of Virginia’s unclaimed lands would be patented as payment for the state’s soldiers.\u0000Clark’s work was interrupted by his assignment as a federal Indian Commissioner, sending him to the capital in New York and on to the Ohio River, where he announced a meeting with territorial native leaders.
