Easton entered the Westminster School in Simsbury, Connecticut in 1907, graduating in 1911. He attended Yale University in 1911-1915, earning a B.A. in history.","When war broke out in Europe in 1914, known today as World War I (WWI) or the First World War, the United States was initially determined to remain neutral, but later joined the Allies in 1917, sending hundreds of thousands of troops to Europe, including Clark Easton. The bespectacled college graduate began his army career as a sergeant in the 77th Division. He was made a non-commissioned instead of a commissioned officer due to his compromised eyesight. The 77th Division saw its share of fighting on the Western Front, including the Meuse-Argonne Offensive in August, 1918. This successful advance was planned by Colonel George C. Marshall. Marshall also was involved in the execution of the attack. By September, Easton was promoted to Second Lieutenant and sent to Intelligence School to be trained as an interpreter. After the Armistice of November 11, 1918, Clark Easton was assigned to General Pershing's staff during the 1919 Peace Conference. Another promotion to First Lieutenant followed as Easton witnessed the creation of a treaty agreement that would deeply affect the world for generations.","Easton came home in the fall of 1919 with an honorable discharge in hand, taking jobs in banking and investments in Lacrosse and later in Chicago. In 1931 Easton returned to his academic pursuits at Northwestern University, graduating in 1932 with a M.A. in History, and earning his PHD in History at the University of Wisconsin in 1937. Dr. Easton taught briefly at the University of Idaho before beginning a thirty five year career at West Virginia University in 1938. He was married to Joy Bromberg, a West Virginia native and teacher, who was born in Charleston on 20 June 1925.

He graduated from Allegheny College, Pennsylvania, in 1839, and began teaching in Mississippi and then (West) Virginia. He studied law and was admitted to the bar in Fairmont, Marion County, (West) Virginia, in 1842. One of the clients he represented was the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. He also started a coal mine on family property in 1854 and entered into a partnership with coal pioneer James Otis Watson. During the 1840s and 1850s, he became interested in politics, joined the Whig Party, and opposed slavery. He participated in the First and Second Wheeling Conventions in 1861. Elected Governor of the Restored Government of Virginia on June 20, 1861, he continued to serve as Governor of Virginia after the Civil War, until 1868. He continued in politics, serving one term in the West Virginia Legislature in 1870, and serving as Collector for the Internal Revenue Service in West Virginia in 1880. After retiring from politics, he spent the final years of his life as a founder and member of the West Virginia Historical Society. He died in Pittsburgh, PA, on March 24, 1899.","Julia and Francis had four children: Samuel Robertson \"Sammie\" (November 12, 1855 - January 22, 1920), Anna \"Nannie\" or \"Pierrie\" (April 14, 1858 - March 22, 1932), and twins Francis William \"Willie\" (September 13, 1860 - February 11, 1920) and Mary Augusta \"Mamie\" (September 13, 1860 - June 18, 1864).

Collection contains some of Ambler's research materials for this biography of Floyd, who was a soldier and surgeon in the Virginia militia in the early nineteenth century and the governor of Virginia from 1830 to 1834. One folder contains letters and notes from 1912 and 1913 related to Ambler's efforts to locate manuscript material related to Floyd and a partial typescript draft of Ambler's biography with handwritten annotations. Two additional folders contain typescript copies of letters that Ambler presumably collected during his research. Letters from 1778 to 1782 are chiefly from William Davies, William Preston, and Thomas Jefferson and primarily relate to the Revolutionary War and Virginia militia. Materials from 1830 to 1834 consist of letters between Floyd and John Tyler, Littleton Tazewell, Thomas Gilmer, and other mid-nineteenth-century politicians.
