Best Answer

There is no known family connection between Lewis and Clark, but this doesn't not mean there isn't one.

Meriwether Lewis's family tree has been researched back through at least 32 generations with links to both European Royalty and American Presidents.

William Clark's ancestry is a bit murkier as it pretty much hits a brick wall after going back a mere 5 generations.
