What did they discover [other than animals] on the Corps of Discovery?????????

Can the rumour of sexual affairs be cited? I found no source on that. Moonmaiden103 12:12, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

It was an addition by an IP address know to be used by a vandal and has been removed. Kablammo 02:20, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Disambiguation Page?

Someone requested that this page be moved to William Clark (disambiguation) because this is a disambiguation page. It's not and William Clark (disambiguation) is a disambiguation page already. joturner 18:01, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Never mind; it was a mistake on the requestor's part. He meant William Clarke. joturner 18:08, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Brittney Spears?

Okay, if someone is going to make the claim that "William Clark also has a distant cousin named Brittney (sic) Spears," you first need to 1) cite your reference and 2) learn how to spell. I recommend this line be deleted.

It was clearly vandalism. Americasroof 17:27, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Scottish-American?

I removed the description of Clark as "Scottish-American." I think in the context of describing someone born in 1770 that the natural implication of "Scottish-American" would be someone born in Scotland who moved to America, not someone born in Virginia of Scottish heritage. john k 03:03, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

i think someone should add more about the lewis and clark expedition. That's what he's known for the most, anyway. ~~~~Pooja from Calfornia

[edit] family tree ? do you know who his the last clark in family tree at this time ? ?

  Can you find out? and he was given land , where is land today? who owens the land given??  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.161.25.105 (talk) 20:54, 22 January 2008 (UTC) 

There are probably at least one hundred people alive today descended directly from William Clark. There is a family tree of all the known descendants you can see at the Bellefontaine Cemetary office. (I haven't ever sat and counted it all up, at least 100 is my best guess from memory)

You can find out what land Clark owned at the time of his death by looking at his will http://stlcourtrecords.wustl.edu/about-clark-probate.php
