I have seen the Edward C. you cite but you will notice he is not from Pennsylvania. My
Edward C. McClure parents are Joseph McClure and Martha A. Ambrose McClure both born in
PA. The only census listing I can confirm for Edward is 1870 Tyrone, Blair, Pennsylvania
Roll M593_1310 page 423 image 338. He was born in Tyrone, Blair. PA in 1860. I can not be
sure of the 1880 census listing for Gaysport, Blair, PA but it may be him. He was not with
his parents at that time. In 1880 the listing for the parents says Joseph and Margaret for
some reason or another. Joseph died in 1885 and Martha went to live with her son Edward in
Fort Wayne, IN. Sons John H. and Edward both went to Ft. Wayne to work on the Wabash.
Edward later owned and operated the Rich hotel in Ft. Wayne. When Martha died in 1891
Edward C. Edwards. Ind. was among the survivers. When Andrew died in 1898 only three
brothers were listed as living. By process of elimination Edward was the dead brother at
that time.
I think I am still looking.
