By any chance are your McClures a line from VA & PA ?
About 1830, Susannah McClure married John LANE Jr. in Washington Co PA. She was born in
VA (1850 Census) and John Lane Jr was born in MD. They moved to Holton, Shelby Twp,
Ripley Co in the early 1830s, probably moving with other family. I don't have
Susannah's parents or siblings but in a letter she wrote in 1879, she tells her sister
in law in Washington Co PA to "say hello to Samuel McClure." I've not been
able to pinpoint where this Samuel was or who he was (relationship to Susannah).
I have the Lane-McClure decendants - well, a lot of them. There are still Lane
descendants of this family in Holton.
I would love to find more info on the McClure line. Could you all check and see if this
Samuel McClure you are talking about lived anywhere near a John Lane Jr?
Off the top of my head I can't remember all the married surnames that come from the
Lane-McClure line... one was BRAMWELL. but I don't have the others within easy
access.
