Elizabeth'''Luce of In Albemarle county, Virginia, lived a very prosperous planter by the name 'of John Clark. John Clark and his wife had ample reason to be proud of their six sons, Jonathan, George, Rogers, James and for five of these served as officers hi the Revolution. William, the' youngest, too young for service during the Revolution, was one of the leaders of the famous Lewis and Clark expedition from 1804 to 1806. During the French and Indian war when Western 1 Virginia was menaced by the raiding bands of the enemy, JOhn Clark moved his family eastward to Carolina county, Virginia, where he had inherited a large estate. Here he lived several years.

Later John and his wife moved to Dobbs 'county, North Carolina, and it was here fourth son, Benjamin was born January 12, 1758. Being of hearty pioneer stock and with Icve for adventure, Benjamin, like his father, moved about quite a bit. When Benjamin was about one year old the family moved to Duplin county, North Carolina, where they lived until the war. After'the Revolutionary war Benjamin Clark moved to Sampson county, N. later to Edgefield S.

where he remained for nine or ten years; then moved to Logan county, Kentucky, where he lived for 20 years, then moved to Arkansas county, in the territory of Missouri and settled at a place now embraced in Hempstead county. In 1826 he moved to Sevier county and 1831 moved' back to Hempstead county where he lived until his death. Benjamin Clark entered the service of the American forces in 1775 and served throughout the Revolutionary war with the North Carolina troops under the following officers: Capts. King, Williams, Love, Dodd, Pipkin, Mobley and James. Cols.

James Kenan Brown and James Moore. He was in several skirmishes and in several battles, one being on Cape Fear river. He served as a private and as quarter master sergeant. He received as part of his pay, a land grant, the original is now in possession of 'the family. Kentucky Catherine Anthony.

Benjamin Clark and his, wife Huldah moved from Kentucky to Arkansas in 1810 and lived near where Fulton, Arkansas, is now located. They lived until 1812 when they moved to Washington.

Except for a year or so they lived a long and well spent Ule in or near Washington. Benjamin Clark was, indeed an Arkansas pioneer. Hempstead county, the fiftb county formed, was created by the Act of Legislature of Missouri Territory, December 15, 1819. The first session of Legislature of the territory ol Arkansas was held at Arkansas Post in the winter of 1820 and Hempstead county was represented It was while living in that he married Huldah therein by Benjamin Clark in council Quoting from Shian's "Pioneers 8f MaVerf of Arkansas."

It is, at present, interesting to note that the Arkansas Gazette, of May 25, 1928, in its One Hundred Years Ago Column, carried quite a lengthy article about the kidnaping of Thomas, the 19-month-old son of Benjamin Clark and his wife Huldah. The child recovered after two years at New Orleans and returned to his parents. Benjamin Clark died'January 6,1845 and is buried on the old family burying ground about three and one half miles east of Washington.
