    "...he moved north to Canada in 1813 in order to escape the draft during the War of 1812. As soon as he got there, the British tried to draft him into their armed forces. Luckily, Clark was able to dodge the draft by electing a substitute. Originally a cooper by trade, he eventually repaired enough barrels to buy his own handsome piece of land at Conc. 7, Lot 23 in West Hawkesbury. "
