Joshua G. Clarke

Joshua G. Clarke (c. 1780-1828) was one of the first justices on the Supreme Court of Mississippi.

Born c. 1780 in Maryland, and raised in Pennsylvania, Clarke was a member of the territorial legislature and of the constitutional convention as the representative of Claiborne county. In 1821, he resigned his position on the Supreme Court to become the first chancellor of the Mississippi Chancery Courts, serving until his death in 1828.

His home, Claremont (Port Gibson, Mississippi), built by him in 1826, is listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.
