CLINTON, George

I.239.1

CLINTON, George, was born in Ulster county, N. Y, July 26, 1739, and died at Washington city, April 20, 1812. He was governor of New York 1777-95 and 1801-4, and was head of one of the three great families which controlled the state. (See NEW YORK) He opposed the constitution, hoping to make New York the most powerful of thirteen separate commonwealths, was defeated for the vice-presidency in 1789 and 1792, and was vice-president 1804-12. (See DEMOCRATIC PARTY II., III.; ELECTORAL VOTES.)
