Written in Lawrence County History: WILLIAM AND REBECCA CLARK settled in Pleasant Run Township, at the NE corner of Lawrence County. Lawrence County history records reveal WILLIAM CLARK as among the first 23 land entries in the township in 1820, which was made of 60 sections. Along Salt Creek in those early times, distilleries were an institution of common occurrence. One of the principal in the township was kept by William CLARK, familiarly called "Billy". His was the frequent resort of the people, with their "little borwn jugs," for in those days whisky was considered almost as necessary in the household as bread.
