Were William Clark and Meriwether Lewis related?

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.


Why did Lewis and Clark separate during their return to St. Louis?

The explorers began their journey home on March 23, 1806. On July 3, after crossing the Continental Divide, the Corps split into two teams so Lewis could explore the Marias River. Lewis and Clark stayed separated until they reached the confluence of the Yellowstone and Missouri Rivers on August 11. Once reunited, the Corps was able to return home quickly via the Missouri River.
