    3. My last note for a while, I promise! My apologies again for those getting this note more than once due to cross-posting. While looking for the marriage record of Reese J. McClure and his first wife, I searched the Rabun County, Georgia marriage records on microfilm at the GA Archives. Here's what I noted: Source: Rabun County, Georgia Court of Ordinary Record of Marriages Book A Index 1820-1850, microfilmed Clayton GA 5 July 1963, & viewed on microfilm 15 July 2003 at GA Archives; microfilm found in drawer 15, box # 19. On the box: Rabun Co. GA Probate Court Marriages Vol A 1820 - 1850 Index; Vol B 1869-1884 Index; Vol B-D 1884-1895 Index; Vol E 1895-1921 Index Volume A Index Entries noted: McCluer JR p. 41 McClure Walter p. 73 McClure Joseph p. 102 Volume A Marriage Records Noted: p. 41 R J McClure to Miss Mary Parker marriage authorized 28 November 1834, wed same day by Ba[unreadable] Do[unreadable] JJG p. 73 Walter McClure to Mary Ann Jackson authorized 2nd November 1839, solemnized 6th November 1839 by Jeremiah York, JP; recorded 31st December 1839 by James Bleckley, CCo p. 102 Joseph McClure & Mary Patterson [I think her surname is Patterson; it was hard to read], marriage authorized 22 Feb 1844, wed same day by John Killingham JP [again, I think it said Killingham] I believe this RJ McClure is my 3rd great-grandfather, Reese J. McClure who is enumerated in Gilmer County, Georgia in 1840 and 1850 and in Fannin County, Georgia in 1860 and 1870. He died, per the information I have from the Petition for Years' Support and his tombstone at Mt. Morriah Baptist Church cemetery in Fannin County, Georgia, on or about 2 November 1875. I cannot find this Reese J. McClure in the 1830 census. He is said to be the son of John McClure and Lilean Bowen from the Old Pendleton District in South Carolina, but I have not proven that relationship. I'm trying to get back that far! I'd love to hear from anyone researching this line. I'm sorry I don't have any additional information on these other McClure marriages I found during my research. These McClures are not in my database at all. And thanks to any and all who put up with all my notes! :-) Judy
