Gerardus Clarkson was a student in the Academy of Philadelphia from 1751 to 1753. Gerardus Clarkson, M.D. was elected in 1780 as a trustee of the University of the State of Pennsylvania and served until his death in 1790. Little else is known of him, except that he was the father of Joseph Clarkson (1765-1830) A.B. 1782, and possibly of William Clarkson (1763-1812) A.B. 1781 and M.D. 1785. Both Joseph and William were born in Philadelphia. It is certain that Joseph was the son of Gerardus Clarkson and was educated at the Philadelphia Academy in 1778-1779 before attending college. |
