After his sister Julia married William Clark, George married William Clark's niece, Eliza Croghan (1801-1833 or 1834) of Locust Grove in Louisville, KY. Eliza is the daughter of Maj.

Category:American slave owners[edit]

No mention of slave-owning. I feel that this category should be restricted to people whose slave-owning history was notable in itself. Valetude (talk) 23:52, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
