Clark's command in Bertram Galbraith's battalion, and with the battalion during the celebrated "Flying Campaign" in New Jersey in 1776, was at the battles of King's Bridge, Long Island, &c., on many occasions distinguishing himself for great bravery.

He purchased a tavern and two hundred and thirty-eight acres of land from Samuel Hughes. Having married, he moved to this hotel at the close of the Revolutionary war.
Mr. Boggs commanded a company called the "Flying Horse" during the Revolutionary war, and was on duty at Gen. Washington's headquarters for some time. He was at the battle of Brandywine in 1777, and in several battles in New Jersey. He purchased from Col. Lowrey a farm on the Susquehanna river about a mile and a half above Marietta. He built a brick dwelling-house on the northwest corner of the square in Marietta, later occupied by the Marietta Register, about the year 1812, to which place he retired to seek leisure and comfort in his old age. He was a justice of the peace for Donegal for many years. He was one of the commissioners appointed by the state to improve the navigation of the Susquehanna River.
