He served as leader of the militia in Kentucky (then part of Virginia) throughout much of the war.

Old Joe Clark Old Joe Clark is a US folk song, a mountain ballad that was "sung during World War I and later by soldiers from eastern Kentucky." Its lyrics refer to a real person named Joseph Clark, a Kentucky mountaineer who was born in 1839 and murdered in 1885. The "playful and sometimes outlandish verses" have led to the conjecture that it first spread as a children's song and via play parties. There are about 90 stanzas in various versions of the song. The tune is in the Mixolydian mode.
