Samuel (1779-1863) and Abigail Pope Oldham Churchill (1789-1854), who was born at Spring Grove, Louisville, Ky. She married in 1834, Brig. General Meriwether Lewis Clark (1809-81)(West Point 1830), of St. Louis, son of Gov. William (1770-1838) and Julia Hancock Clark (1791-1820). He was an architect, civil engineer, surveyor, served in the Black Hawk War in 1832, Missouri Legislature, Mexican War, 1846-47, and was an artillery commander in the Civil War (CSA). After the war he was commandant of students and professor of mathematics at the Kentucky Military Institute. His father was the Clark of the Lewis & Clark Expedition, 1804-06, and territorial governor of Missouri, 1813-20. Their seven children were William Hancock (1839-1922), Capt.

William Clark and his family moved to Louisville from Virginia in 1785, settling at "Mulberry Hill." The site is now George Rogers Clark Park on Poplar Level Road.
