Both families were Virginia landholders, and after their marriage they moved to a 400 acre farm left to Clark by his father, Jonathan. This land was located on the Rivanna River, two miles east of Charlottesville and two and one-half miles northwest of Shadwell, where [[Thomas Jefferson]] was born. Their first son, Jonathan, was born in 1750, and their second son, George Rogers, in 1752.
