William C. C. Claiborne
William Charles Cole Claiborne (c.1772/75 – 23 November 1817) was a United States politician, best known as the first non-colonial Governor of Louisiana. He also has the distinction of possibly being the youngest Congressman in U.S. history, though reliable sources differ about his age.
Claiborne supervised the transfer of Louisiana to U.S. control after the Louisiana Purchase of 1803; and he governed the "Territory of Orleans" from 1804 through 1812, the year in which Louisiana became a state. He won the first election for Louisiana's state Governor and served through 1816, for a total of thirteen years as Louisiana's executive administrator. (New Orleans served as the capital city during both the colonial period and the early statehood period.)
==Early life and career==
William C. C. Claiborne was born in Sussex County, Virginia. The date is unknown, but has been variously quoted as being before 23 November 1772,〔Self-identified as being at least 25 by taking oath of office on November 23, 1797.〕 or on 13 August 1773,〔(“Notes From Albemarle Parish Register, Sussex County, Va.” ), ''William and Mary College Quarterly Historical Magazine'', Vol. 14, No. 1. (Jul., 1905), p. 5.〕 or between 23 November 1773 and 23 November 1774,〔His gravestone says he was 23 when he became a congressman (which definitely occurred on November 23, 1797). See (Louisiana Governors ), La-Cemeteries.〕 or in August 1775〔Webb, Samuel and Ambrester, Margaret. ''(Alabama Governors: A Political History of the State )'' (University of Alabama Press 2007).〕 His parents were Colonel William Claiborne and Mary Leigh Claiborne.〔Rowland, Dunbar. (“Encyclopedia of Mississippi history: Comprising Sketches of Counties, Towns, Events, Institutions and Persons” ), Volume 1, page 427.〕 He was a descendant of Colonel William Claiborne (1600–1677), who was born in Crayford, Kent, England and settled in the Colony of Virginia.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Col.

He studied at the College of William and Mary, then Richmond Academy. At the age of 16 he moved to New York City, where he worked as a clerk under John Beckley, the |clerk of the United States House of Representatives, which was then seated in that city. He moved to Philadelphia with the Federal Government. He then began to study law, and moved to Tennessee in 1794 to start a law practice. Governor John Sevier appointed Claiborne to the Tennessee Supreme Court in 1796.
