Series:
4 J (Volume 4)A volume composed of three groups of manuscripts:
1) Transcripts of letters, depositions, and statements concerning military service and the provisioning of expeditions against the Indians and British, 1777-1782, from the family papers of W. Lindsay Pogue. His grandfather, William Pogue, an early settler of Boonesborough, was killed by Indians in 1778; his widow married Clark's commissary-general, Joseph Lindsay, who was killed in the battle of Blue Licks in 1782. The copies were made for Draper in 1853 by Joseph B. Boyd and are preceded by a rough index by Draper. Additional Pogue papers are in Volume 29 J.
2) Transcripts mainly from the Public Archives of Canada of papers, 1778-1780, of Philippe de Rocheblave, British commandant at Kaskaskia when it was captured by Clark.
3) Letters and notes on several persons associated with Clark's career: Edward Abbott, British governor of Vincennes; Henry Bird; Francois Charleville; Isadore Chêne; Philip Dejean; John Hay, British lieutenant governor at Detroit; William La Mothe; and Richard B. Lernoult. Several letters, 1870-1871, by Pierre Menard (1797-1871) contain recollections of John Edgar and his wife.
