He was also an investor in the riverboat, Mechanic, which was infamously known for its transportation of Marquis de Lafayette on the Cumberland, Mississippi and Ohio Rivers. A flatboat owned by Clark, to transport pottery to a broader range of customers along the Muskingum, and Ohio Rivers, was leased to other businessmen on occasion. Local court records and other documentary sources state that Clark did not limit his business dealings to just pottery. There were no wagon tracks, only a grassy lane. ![]() Above this the small brick house could be seen, but no other up to Washington. Above his house there was a large orchard where picnics were held. On the brow of this hill dwelt Nathaniel Clark, the ‘potter’. The hill up Fourth was almost impassable. From these articles we learn that in 1842: Over thirty-seven separate archaeological pits have been dug with thousands of artifacts recovered and preserved for further study.Ī series of newspaper articles entitled “From Out of the Past” was published in February and March 1917. Extensive deposits of production waste, kiln furniture, household debris and structural remains have been encountered on The Castle property. Archaeological investigation has documented that Clark’s operation produced both red earthenware and salt-glazed stoneware at the museum location. Nathaniel Clark (the father) began selling his jars, crocks and other products from The Castle property as early as February 1808, making him one of the earliest potters in Ohio. The only one of these that have been identified is Nathaniel Sackett Clark (born in May 1825 in Marietta) who was a potter like his father. Nathaniel and Lydia had at least five children, three boys and two girls (1830 census). Samuel Sackett (a Revolutionary War surgeon from East Greenwich, Connecticut) and Sarah Manning. She was one of at least ten children of Dr. Sackett was born in 1792 on George’s Creek in Fayette County, Pennsylvania. John, who built his home at 515 5 th Street in Marietta, rented land for Nathaniel, paid some court fees, and/or reimbursed creditors on occasion when Nathaniel’s business was slow. Nathaniel Clark was born circa 1786 in Massachusetts, and was likely a close relative of John Clark (a native of Quincy, Massachusetts). Little was known about the Clark family or his pottery enterprise until recent archaeological, genealogical, and documentary research conducted by the Castle staff. Prior to construction of The Castle brick house, the only structures known to have existed on these lots were the residence and pottery business of Nathaniel Clark. Back when internet forums were more of a thing, I was an admin on a religion/philosophy forum.The Castle is situated on two full city lots, numbered 506 and 519. I like to understand how people think in terms of what their highest ideals and frameworks are, and how they differ, and what their commonalities are. I went through a phase where I read every major religious text, and a phase where I went through all the major world philosophies. Watching movies or shows with my husband, and discussing/debating with him about their content and execution. My work has therefore also been my hobby, at least for this period of time. I've been so busy in the past 2-3 years because the macro environment has been absolutely crazy, and diving into the bitcoin rabbit hole has been another full time job. From Nintendo and Playstation, to Starcraft, to Overwatch, etc. And still am, but it comes and goes in waves.Īlthough I haven't played any in two years due to work overload, video games have been a lifelong hobby of mine. I was also into trading card games, mainly Magic the Gathering. I watch some UFC with my husband because it's the only sport I understand at a pretty deep level. I spent 12 years doing increasingly competitive mixed martial arts, became a second-degree black belt in my particular federation of schools, and became an assistant instructor as my first job. When I was a kid and teenager, it was mixed martial arts.
