Through a process of elimination, I believe that his father was David Clarkson. David married Elizabeth "Patty" Redmon in Goochland Co in 1751. According to the Douglas Register a son, William, was born to this union on Sep 25, 1774 and was Baptized Jan 3, 1775. Between 1800 and 1810 the family moved to Kentucky. By 19 May 1812 he bought 120 acres on Long Run, Shelby Co., from Caleb and Larkin Martin of Jessamine Co. for $600. Then on 10 Oct 1831 he bought another 44 acres from William Taylor of Oldham Co. for $110. He moved his family to Jennings Co., IN and sold both tracts of land to Hugh Galey in 1834 for $1124. Barbary signed this deed and her attorney, James Whitaker, "talked to her privately and apart from her husband" to make sure she was not being pressured into selling - a beginning for women's rights. On 9 Feb 1837, he was an original land purchaser in Jennings Co. where they settled on Graham Creek. When he died, his inventory consisted of a clock, a little spinning wheel, 18 yards of carpet and the usual household and farm items. Barbara received 4 acres and the brick dwelling house. However, she died between 10 Aug 1841 and 4 Oct 1841. Her son Henry was appointed administer and he gave her inventory as a horse, colt and household goods.
