[edit] Which Locust Grove?
A sentence in this article reads:
- "He lived out the rest of his life in Locust Grove, Kentucky, just a short distance from Louisville, Kentucky with his sister and brother-in-law."
Problem is, there are TWO Locust Groves in KY, one in Clark County, and another in Pendleton County. And neither of them are anywhere near Louisville.
Any idea which Locust Grove is being referred to here?

- Looks like neither of them - it is a farm outside Louisville[1] and a national historic site. Rmhermen 12:58, Jul 5, 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Major rewrite
I rewrote this article on 5 March 2006, and thought I had signed my name to the rewrite, but apparently did not do so. Too bad. Bigturtle 03:45, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Birth marker
I'd say keep the Virginian birth marker for now, at least until we can get a pic of it that we cane freely use in the main article.--Bedford 21:14, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
- That sounds reasonable. Thanks. Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 21:30, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Stick to the subject
This is more of a comment on editorial decisions in history textbooks rather than an encylopedia article WP:POV

[edit] American Revolution -> Revolutionary War
Had a glitch with the last edit where it saved before I finished entering the summary. I meant to say that since Clark was a general, it makes sense to say he settled down after the Revolutionary War, not the American Revolution (which was a longer period going back). Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 13:40, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
- Works for me; I just thought it'd be nice to have a link to the Revolution, since that was part of the history there. But certainly not necessary! Civil Engineer III 14:47, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Confusing -- "descendants"
How can "World War II General Mark Wayne Clark" be "among Clark's descendants" if he never married (and no children are mentioned in the article)?Speciate 04:03, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
- Good point. As you suspected, Clark has no known descendants. Looks like some random nonsense that originated in the Mark Clark article. I'll remove the bogus info. —Kevin 06:16, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
