Clark learned surveying from his grandfather in Caroline County, Virginia. He explored down the Ohio and Kanawha Rivers in what is now Kentucky and West Virginia and surveyed farms for settlers arriving in that territory. Clark served as a captain in the Virginia militia during Lord Dunmore's War in 1774, and the next year returned to Kentucky to survey lands for the Ohio Company. When the Revolution began, Clark encouraged Virginia to protect Kentucky from the British and Native Americans. He captured Kaskaskia, Illinois, from the British 4 July 1778 and won the allegiance of French settlers in Vincennes, Indiana. When the British took Vincennes in October 1778, Clark recaptured it 25 February 1779. He was responsible for the defense of the Northwest Territory during the rest of the American Revolution. After Kentucky troops were defeated at Blue Licks, Kentucky, by the Shawnee 19 August 1782, Clark retaliated with an attack on Chillicothe, Ohio, defeating the Shawnee 4 November 1782. After the American Revolution ended, Clark served on the Board of Commissioners which allotted the lands in Kentucky and the Northwest Territory granted by Virginia to its soldiers. He left Kentucky to live on the Indiana frontier but was never fully reimbursed by Virginia for his wartime expenditures. He spent the final decades of his life evading creditors and living in increasing poverty and obscurity. Clark lived the last few years of his life with his sister and her husband outside Louisville, Kentucky, where he died 13 February 1818.","This is an artificial collection of records concerning George Rogers Clark and the conquest of the Old Northwest during and after the revolutionary war. The records, which are now so intermingled they defy any attempt to separate them, were brought together from two distinct sets of records. The first set contained Clark's original accounts and vouchers, which had been submitted to the auditors of public accounts for settlement in 1779. These records were misplaced by the auditors and when the Board of Western Commissioners sought to settle his accounts in 1783, Clark produced a second set of records consisting of copies of the materials submitted in 1779, in addition to the records he had created since then. The Clark papers, then, consist of the misplaced records (since found) submitted to the auditor, as well as the vouchers submitted to the Board of Western Commissioners.","Papers, 1776-1795 and 1834-1835, including accounts, bills, certificates, correspondence, orders, pay rolls, receipts, and vouchers regarding George Rogers Clark's campaign in the Illinois Campaign and the Northwest Territory during the American Revolution and his efforts to be reimbursed by Virginia for his wartime expenditures. The bulk of the collection consists of accounts, receipts, and vouchers. The correspondence mainly relates to Clark's accounts and repayment of accounts, although some of the correspondence is military in nature. The collection is organized into two series, Series I: Papers and Series II: Photostat volumes. The Photostat volumes were select papers duplicated for the Filson Club in 1927 [Filson Historical Society (Louisville, Ky.)]. Oversized materials are arranged to the rear of the collection and separation notes were placed with the papers.","The accounts contain the names of persons to whom payments were made, the amounts, items purchased, and the dates paid. The vouchers include the names of persons to whom money was owed, items purchased, and the amounts and dates the vouchers were submitted. Of note is the correspondence with Governors Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson, William Fleming, Benjamin Harrison, and Edmund Randolph. Other notable correspondents include Joseph Crockett, William Davis, Daniel-Maurice Godefroy de Linctot, Benjamin Logan, Oliver Pollock, Chief Ponemataka, George Slaughter, John Todd, and Levi Todd, among others. ","Some of the material that had long been part of the Clark records was separated from it in 1975 and interfiled with the Office of the Governor records, in the Letters Received series [available online]. The records removed consisted mostly of correspondence with the governor and Council of State. In lieu of the original documents photocopies or tracers (handwritten notes that included the date and author of letter) were left in the Clark papers. In 2018 the archivist made copies of all of the separated letters to replace the tracers. Some of the letters had been reprinted in part or whole in  the  Calendar of Virginia state papers : and other manuscripts preserved in the Capitol at Richmond . Noted on the tracers were the volume and page numbers where the letter had been reprinted. [For example a handwritten notation, 'printed 3C 278', refers to Volume 3 and page 278, of the Calendar.] ","The Society of Colonial Wars in the State of Illinois and the Sons of the Revolution in the State of Illinois funded a microfilming and indexing project of the microfilmed George Rogers Clark Papers at the Library of Virginia. The index is available online at the Internet Archive-Way Back Machine here: \n George Rogers Clark Papers Index . Not only does the website index the papers, but it also includes descriptions of each item in the collection, as well as the date and names. The index is also available in paper format,  Index to the George Rogers Clark papers: the Illinois Regiment , compiled by Richard Eugene Willson, Indexing, and Dr. Donald E. Gradeless, Editor.","Papers, 1776-1795 and 1834-1835, including accounts, bills, certificates, correspondence, orders, pay rolls, receipts, and vouchers regarding George Rogers Clark's campaign in the Illinois Campaign and the Northwest Territory during the American Revolution and his efforts to be reimbursed by Virginia for his wartime expenditures. The bulk of the collection consists of accounts, receipts, and vouchers. The correspondence mainly relates to Clark's accounts and repayment of accounts, although some of the correspondence is military in nature. ","The accounts contain the names of persons to whom payments were made, the amounts, items purchased, and the dates paid. The vouchers include the names of persons to whom money was owed, items purchased, amounts, and dates the vouchers were submitted. Items purchased include clothing, blankets, tobacco, food supplies (corn, flour, pork, rum, salt), powder and lead for guns, iron pots and kettles, tomahawks, supplies given to the Indian tribes, accounts to have boats and wagons built, payment for the use of horses, among others. Also included are receipts for militia pay, names of people who worked as spies, provision returns, and pay rations for troops.","Correspondents include Daniel Boone; John Bowman; Daniel Brodhead; Benjamin Clark; Henry Clinton, Sir; Anthony Crockett; John Dodge; John Donelson; John Floyd; John Girault; Charles Gratiot; Governor Benjamin Harrison; Governor Patrick Henry;  Governor Thomas Jefferson; Benjamin Logan; Pierre Menard; John Montgomery; James Monroe; Robert Patterson; Oliver Pollock; William Preston; Governor Edmund Randolph; Philippe Francois de Rastel Rocheblave, Chevalier de; Isaac Shelby; George Slaughter; Levi Todd; Robert Todd; John Williams; and James Winchester, among others. The correspondence mainly relates to Clark's accounts and repayment of accounts, although some of the correspondence is military in nature. Topics include supplies (requesting provisions and payment of bills); relationships, movements, and treaties with Native Americans; reporting activities of the British and French; situation in the Illinois country; appointments of officers, payments to soldiers, and military issues, among others. Included are accounts and letters relating to the Chickasaw, Delaware, Kaskaskia, Kickapoo, Ottawa, Piankishaw, and Shawnee Tribes. ","The papers were microfilmed and the microfilm numbers are noted in the container listing. The microfilm copies should be used instead of the originals which are fragile in nature. ","The Photostat volumes series consists of 25 positive photostat volumes of items duplicated by the R.C. Ballard Thurston Collection at the Filson Historical Society (Louisville, Ky.).

At its first session, which convened on 7 October 1776, the General Assembly passed an act creating a board of three auditors to examine and settle claims concerning receipts and expenditures for military purposes. The confusing financial situation of the state, however, resulted in a series of acts being passed over the next fifteen years elaborating and refining the duties of the auditors. Finally, at its session begun in November 1791, the General Assembly passed an act that combined the duties of the board of auditors and the solicitor general, whose office had been created in 1785 to settle the accounts of the state with the United States, and assigned them to a single auditor of public accounts effective 1 January 1792. The auditor soon became the most powerful fiscal officer in the state. All receipts and disbursements were made only upon his warrant to the treasurer, and his books were the standard against which those of the treasurer were checked.","The first changes were made as the accounts of the revolutionary era were settled. As the state moved into a period of steady financial and governmental growth in the nineteenth century, the number of accounts and funds maintained by the auditor became excessive. Thus, on 24 February 1823 the General Assembly passed an act creating the office of the second auditor to ease the auditor's burden. Although the second auditor handled several large special funds, the auditor continued to be responsible for most of the accounts concerning the daily operation of state government.","The records of the first auditor of public accounts have not survived intact; periodically they have been subjected to disarrangement or destruction. When the auditor's office was created in 1776, Virginia's seat of government was in Williamsburg. In 1780, when the capital was moved to Richmond, the auditors and their records also moved. At this time, and during Benedict Arnold's raid on Richmond in 1781, some auditor's records were misplaced or destroyed. During the War of 1812, when it was believed that British troops were marching on Richmond, the state's records were loaded onto wagons and hauled to the James River for transportation upstream. Before the boats sailed, however, the alarm proved false and the records were unloaded and returned to the State Capitol.","Effective 1 March 1928 the office of auditor of public accounts and second auditor were abolished and replaced by the office of comptroller--head of the Department of Accounts--to monitor the receipt and disbursement of state funds, and a new office of auditor of public accounts, under the General Assembly, to audit state and local government agencies.","Revolutionary War Military Service Pay Records, 1775-1818, include account books, bonds, correspondence, ledgers, lists of officers and men who received military pay certificates, and vouchers. \n","This volume contains accounts with individual military personnel for cash advances and warrants issued, including reasons for disbursements, dates, and amounts for the period between 18 September 1775 and 7 May 1776.

As a further relief, the certificates were authorized to be receivable for taxes. The sheriff who collected the taxes endorsed the back of the certificate and gave a receipt to the taxpayer.

At its first session, which convened on 7 October 1776, the General Assembly passed an act creating a board of three auditors to examine and settle claims concerning receipts and expenditures for military purposes. The confusing financial situation of the state, however, resulted in a series of acts being passed over the next fifteen years elaborating and refining the duties of the auditors. Finally, at its session begun in November 1791, the General Assembly passed an act that combined the duties of the board of auditors and the solicitor general, whose office had been created in 1785 to settle the accounts of the state with the United States, and assigned them to a single auditor of public accounts effective 1 January 1792. The auditor soon became the most powerful fiscal officer in the state.
