| | George Rogers Clark - Clark's Grant |
 | | William Clark was appointed principal surveyor of the grant, and he proceeded with a corps of four assistant surveyors, Edmund Rogers, David Steel, Peter Catlet and Burwell Jackson, to lay it off into tracts, intended, generally to contain five hundred acres each, but some of the surveys were very carelessly made. |
 | | The original of this important document is on parchment, with holes eaten in it by mice, or insects, as shown in the fac-simile. |
 | | It is quite certain no one is on the list who did not serve, and it is not likely that many, if any, entitled to land, failed to receive it, either in person or by his heirs or assigns. |
