York (explorer)
York (1770–1822) was an African-American slave best known for his participation with the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Enslaved by William Clark, he performed hard manual labor without pay,〔(''The Slave Who Went with Them'' ), Brian Hall, Time, June 2002〕 but participated as a full member of the expedition. Like many other expedition members, his ultimate fate is unclear. There is evidence that after the expedition's return, Clark had difficulty compelling York to resume his former status, and York may have later escaped or been freed, but nothing is entirely clear on this.〔''William Clark: Indian diplomat'' Jay Buckley, University Oklahoma Press, 2008, pg 20〕
==Early and family life==
York was born in Caroline County near Ladysmith, Virginia. He, his father, his mother (Rose) and younger sister and brother (Nancy and Juba), were enslaved by the Clark family. York was William Clark's servant from boyhood, and was left to William in his father's will.〔

Indianapolis: Bowen-Merrill, 1896, p. 49.〕 He had a wife whom he rarely saw, and likely lost contact with her after 1811 when she was sold/sent to Mississippi. It is not known if York fathered any children.
