I went to http://userdb.rootsweb.com/landrecords and chose Alabama with Joseph McClure and got: MCCLURE, JOSEPH 01 06 1858 80.0875 t:15S r:10W s:18 AL MCCLURE, JOSEPH 01 06 1858 0.0000 t:16S r:11W s:10 AL MCCLURE, JOSEPH 01 06 1858 0.0000 t:16S r:11W s:3 AL MCCLURE, JOSEPH 01 06 1858 0.0000 t:16S r:11W s:3 AL MCCLURE, JOSEPH 01 06 1858 0.0000 t:16S r:11W s:3 AL MCCLURE, JOSEPH 01 06 1858 159.9000 t:16S r:11W s:3 AL MCCLURE, JOSEPH 01 06 1858 160.2000 t:16S r:11W s:3 AL MCCLURE, JOSEPH 02 07 1860 0.0000 t:15S r:10W s:7 AL MCCLURE, JOSEPH 02 07 1860 80.2350 t:15S r:11W s:13 AL I also saw that his wife, Patience McClure bought land also on the 1858 date. My question is: According to an obituary I have found in a family bible he died in 1855. Could Patience have bought property using his name after he died? OR should I be considering that the obit had a typo error? Or am I not understanding the info on the web page? Sorry to be so confused Diana Barron
