    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Fc.2ADI/1192.1 Message Board Post: All of the McClure line in Gilmer, Fannin, Murry and Union come from one main line. I have researched part of the side lines but not all. There was a John McClure born Mary 21, 1801 in NC died Sept 11, 1881 in Heurfano County, Colorado and his wife was Sarah some of their children were married and remained before he left I know he had a daughter Matilda but I have no date of birth or death for her. Andrew McClure born 1796 in North Carolina died Before Oct 4, 1865 in Union County, Georgia wife Lois Eller born 1792 in Georgia had a daughter Margaret born 1828. All those lines in those counties work into the families of the children of Andrew McClure who was born December 11, 1748 in Rowan County and died before December 20, 1815 in Haywood County, North Carolina. He had more children than I know for him but they moved from Rowan County NC into Burke and then Buncombe and Haywood as Haywood and Buncombe came from Burke County and Burke from Rowan so have always thought they were sitting still and the county lines and names were changing. Of the three sons I know Thomas McClure born 1770 in Rowan County and died after 1856 in Union County, Georgia is my direct line but I know that he had brothers and probably sisters, in those counties as well as himself. So your Margaret belongs in this family somewhere, part of them were in there early and part came after Andrew died. Hope this helps some. Linda
