Series: 31 J (Volume 31)
: Copies of pension applications with a few letters and interviews, all of which relate primarily to Clark's campaigns in 1780-1781 and to men associated with him. Among specific events and persons discussed in Draper's correspondence and interview notes are Clark's intended expedition to Detroit; the 1781 attack on Fort Jefferson; Archibald Lochry's defeat; John Baker, his family, and his station near Moundsville (West Virginia); Richard Brashear; the Chickasaw Indian leaders James Colbert and his family, and Piomingo; Lewis Field; Joseph Hunter, his son-in-law John Donne, and Donne family descendants; and Thomas Stokeley. A few briefer references pertain to the battle of Clear Fields, Pennsylvania (1779) and to Bowman's campaign (1779). Copies of two letters (1781) by John Gibson discuss Clark's Detroit expedition, troubles with the Moravian Indians, and William Crawford's intended foray against the Wyandot tribe.
