Posted on: Union Co. GA Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ga/Union/702 Surname: McCLURE, HOOPER, NELSON ------------------------- By 1890 Elisha Hedden NELSON's family had left Union co. and Towns co. Ga. and were in Ogreeta and Beaver Dam in Cherokee co., NC. G.W.McClure age 33 and W.S.McClure age 24 were witnesses for Elisha'S pension papers. William McClure would have been about 70 if he were still alive. Ellender HOOPER McCLURE and he were listed in Elisha's pension papers. That is the only time I have seen her maiden name. I just found 1880 Census Beaver Dam Township, Cherokee co., NC # 37 McClure,William age 59 NC NC NC/ ..............Ellender age 53 NC NC NC/ ...............Henry P---- 16 NC NC NC/ .................William S 14 NC NC NC/ ..................Joseph V 12 NC NC NC So I suppose it was this William S. who signed as witness to the pension papers of Elisha H. Nelson, his sister's husband, in 1891. There were lots of children in this family. Elizabeth Jane was 2 yrs old in 1850 Census of Union co. Ga. In 1860 she is 12 and called Elizabeth. However looks like her mother's name was Melly age 29 in 1850. There were HOOPER's 2 doors down from them. Maybe William re-married. The age of William's wife in 1850 is 1 yr younger than he. In 1860 wife is 6 yrs younger. Sarah
Saw your name and just thought I'd say that there is a Widener cemetary in Kansas. Sarah Widener wrote: > Posted on: Union Co.
