Family Tree DNA has announced a Father's Day sale on Family Finder and Y-DNA upgrades. The sale ends at Midnight June 22 so don't wait.
A lot of Clark DNA participants need to upgrade.
If you had a 12 or 25 marker test and have not upgraded, you need to do it now. As DNA testing for genealogy has evolved, we now know that 12 and 25 marker tests have very limited usefulness in determining or verifying your lineage. The database has grown and a 37 or 67 marker test has a much better chance of providing you with useful information.
Contact your Project Administrator or go to your Personal Page at FTDNA to take advantage of this sale.

I have found the William Croghan Jr Monument at Allegheny Cemetery in Pittsburgh. William Croghan Jr was the son of Lucy Clark who was the sister of General George Rogers Clark and William Clark of Lewis and Clark out of Pittsburgh in 1803.
It kind of spells out who is whom on the Monument. The Monument is across a small road from the Catholic Bakewells of Benjamin Bakewell a well known relative of the Catholic Clarks.
Actually my research is a straight line from the Bakewells to the grave Dr Felix Brunot the foster brother of General Lafayette about 300 yards away.
Everyone along this line from Bakewells to Col John Gibson to Reade Washington to General Alexander Hays to General James O'Hara to Dr McKnight to Dr Felix Brunot all seem to have a connection to the Lewis and Clark Expedition of 1803 in one way or the other.
So if you think your related to the Catholic Clarks of General George Rogers Clark or Lucy Clark or William Clark, I would like to hear from you.
I have access to all the cemetery records along this line at Allegheny Cemetery in Pittsburgh. I believe Meriwether Lewis had Lewis relatives in Pittsburgh and I am looking for the records to prove it. I know for sure these is a Lewis and Clark boat builders in Pittsburgh at the time of Lewis and Clark. Although I must admit, they seem to be related to General Andrew Lewis and Lord Dunmore rather then Meriwether Lewis.

I have been doing research on the Warner, O'Hara and Selznick families in Pittsburgh who I believe are connected to Lucy Clark the sister of William Clark of Lewis and Clark.
I will refer you to the work Clint Eastwood did on the Warner Family of Pittsburgh when Warner Brothers operated their main studio at the old Bakewell building in Pittsburgh. The Bakewells are buried across the road to the monument to William Croghan Jr the son of Lucy Clark at Allegheny Cemetery. The Catholic Bakewells were well known relatives of the Catholic Clarks.
Some of these families were known to run wagon trains west.
William Croghan Jr married Mary O'Hara. The O'Haras were well known cotton dealers in Pittsburgh. They were Catholic and again related to the Bakewells.

Winger, Henry C., M.D., pharmacist, was born at Hammer's Creek, Lancaster county, Pa., March 8, 1837. His parents, Moses and Henrietta (Yundt) Winger, were both natives of Lancaster county and were of Swiss ancestry. In his early life the father was engaged in agricultural pursuits, but in later life was in the hotel business, mercantile pursuits and distilling. For twenty years previous to his death he lived a retired life. He died in Philadelphia, April 13, 1892, aged eighty-two years, his wife having preceded him in death in 1869. They had two children: Catherine A., and Henry C.
When Henry C. Winger was seven years old he removed with his parents to Lancaster City, which was his home until he reached the age of thirty years. His primary education was received in the public schools of Lancaster, and was completed at White Hall Academy, Cumberland county, from which institution he was graduated in 1853. After completing his literary course he began the study of medicine with Dr. John L. Atlee, Sr., of Lancaster, and remained under his instruction for five years. In 1858 he enlisted as private in the regular United States army, and was assigned to company B, First regiment. He was sent to the frontier of Texas, and was stationed at the different forts there, until all the Indians were removed from Texas to Fort Cobb in the Indian Territory, his company, together with a company of United States cavalry, acting as escorts in this removal. He, with his company, also assisted in the erection of this fort. While working on the fort he had his foot so !
badly injured that he was discharged from further duty in 1860, on account of disability, with a pension of $2 per month. In 1862 he enlisted in the United States navy, and served in this branch of the service until 1866, when he was discharged at Gosport Navy Yard, Norfolk, Va., and returned to Lancaster. In 1868 he removed to Delaware, and there engaged in the practice of medicine for three years. In 1871 he removed to Harrisburg, where, for the past twenty-five years, he has been continuously engaged in the practice of his profession; and for the past fourteen years he has, in connection with his practice, been engaged in the drug business.
Dr. Henry C. Winger was married in Harrisburg, June 16, 1872, to Matilda Harper, a daughter of William and Elizabeth (Clark) Harper, of Adams county, Pa. Mrs. Harper, when a little girl, lived near Gettysburg, and well remembers the battle fought there. During the three days' fighting, she carried water to the famished soldiers of the Union army, and had many narrow escapes from death by the explosion of shells. Her father was taken prisoner by the rebels during this battle, and although an old man and a cripple, they marched him to Salisbury prison, where he died form the effects of ill treatment, in the following February. The brother of Mrs. Winger was also taken prisoner by the rebels, and was confined in Salisbury prison for two years.
Nine children have been born to Dr. and Mrs. Winger, namely: Harry C., Harriet A., Russell C., George H., Ruth, Edgar, Naomi, Charles W. and Bessie, who died in infancy. In political views the Doctor is a Democrat. The family attend the Pine Street Presbyterian church.

Pennsylvania -- Dauphin County
Historical Review of Dauphin County -found on pages 93 & 94
William Clark, the first of the name to settle in this country, was of Scotch-Irish descent, and came to America in 1728. He settled in then Chester county, Province of Pennsylvania, and died there. His son, William, was born in Pennsylvania, and after reaching manhood, with his family settled in what was at first called the "Narrows of Paxtang,", then Upper Paxtang township, Dauphin county, in a valley about two miles from the Susquehanna river, giving to the valley and the creek the name of Clark, which they still retain. The farm on which they settled is yet known as the Clark farm, although it has passed into other hands. After residing there a number of years he rented his farm and migrated to Northumberland county, in this State, where he bought a farm, and lived there until compelled to leave on account of the hostile attitude of the Indians, which caused the "Great Runaway" of 1778-79. They buried all their farming implements, lashed two canoes together and!
taking some few clothes with them, sailed down the Susquehanna river, and thus escaped the savages. They then returned to Middle Paxtang, where the second William died. His children were as follows:
1. Robert
2. John
3. James
4. William
5. Jane
6. Love
7. Sarah
8. Elizabeth
Robert, the eldest of the children, was never married. He lived the greater part of his life in Dauphin county and finally died in Perry county.
John, the second son, and Jane, the eldest of the girls, lived on a farm about one mile up Clark's Valley. Neither of them was married; they lived to a good age and died on the farm where they had lived.
James, the third son, was never married, and died when a young man.
Love, the second daughter, married James Hines. They at one time resided at Erie, Pa., and from there removed to Indianapolis, Ind., or in that neighborhood.

He left home after he became of age and went to the western part of the State, and settled in Crawford county, near what is now Meadville, Pa. He there married Miss Sarah Patterson in 1802.

I doubt if these families connect but though I would tell you about mine.
Lester Earl Clark b/26 May 1895 Calhoun County, Ms d/3 Oct 1973 Louisville, Winston County, Ms m/Vera Tober
His parents were Simpson "Simp" Clark and Annie Jo BALDWIN.
I see you have a Thomas Baldwin Clark in your line at a different time period, so doubt they connect. My Lester was living with another Clark Family in one census record and I have no idea who they were
