George Rogers Clark bicentennial celebration collection 1978-1995.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/664831272

This collection includes research materials gathered by the George Rogers Clark Bicentennial Descendents Committee, as well as correspondence, lineage charts, and supporting evidence mailed to the committee by people who wished to be recognized as descendents of Clark's family or soldiers. The collection brings together two separate files: papers regarding the Clark family and its descendents, collected by Helen Noland; and papers regarding the men who served with George Rogers Clark and their descendents, compiled by Caroline Dunn. Introductory material include programs and invitations from the bicentennial celebration, minutes and press releases of the Descendents Committee, and master lists of descendants of Clark's family and of the men who served with Clark. In addition to the material sent to the committee by descendants, the Clark family papers collected by Helen Noland include photocopies of several published articles about the family and manuscript genealogical papers, and two genealogical charts. Papers collected by Caroline Dunn regarding the descendents of men who served with Clark include papers of some earlier investigations of the descendents of Clark's men, collected by Helen Noland, June Barekman, and the DAR, along with material sent to the committee by descendents. A card file in box 2 lists all descendents under their revolutionary ancestors, as well as listing all descendents who were residents of Indiana by town. Name and address information of descendents is included.
