Kenneth Clarke is a 5th Great Grandson of Simeon and Katharine Prior. Simeon and Katharine, along with their family, founded Northampton Township, now Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, in the United States of America, and started an archive of which Kenneth is the 6th family keeper. The Prior Family Archive contains more than two centuries of family papers, documents, letters, photographs and artifacts. This book is based on the Prior Family Archive as well as many other published historical documents. Clarke recently worked with family members, elected officials and Sons of the American Revolution to dedicate a new Prior family monument in Cuyahoga Falls, an event that was covered by the Akron Beacon Journal and other local news outlets.
