This article misses key family detail in that William was step-son to William Clark (explorer), was related (step-cousin, brother-in-law) to two military Generals. I propose to add this information with documentation in the near future. Seblake ( talk) 16:48, 18 September 2012 (UTC) reply

Updated the article. Seblake ( talk) 22:46, 25 November 2012 (UTC) Per Wiki notice, corrected link to George Hancock and then added middle name Elizabeth to Mary Lovell Radford. Seblake ( talk) 14:02, 26 November 2012 (UTC) reply

Another relationship: François E. Matthes, the explorer, married Radford's granddaughter Edith Lovell Coyle on June 7, 1911 Seblake ( talk) 00:00, 25 December 2013 (UTC) reply
