    3. The information noted below was abstracted by Randi Richardson from an article titled "Workingmen's Maclure Library Association of Uniontown, Jackson County, 1857-1868, Part 2: Members," written by Judith Q. McMullen and published in the HOOSIER GENEALOGIST, Summer 2003, pp. 109-112. Uniontown was home to one of three Maclure libraries in Jackson County, Indiana. William Maclure (1763-1840) directed that funds from his estate should be used to establish libraries and, in fact, more than 140 Maclure libraries were established in 89 of Indiana counties and went by a variety of names. A list of Uniontown library members is archived at the Indiana Historical Society in the Jackson County Working-Men's McClure (sic) Library Association Record Book, 1857-1868. Those members were identified by name McMullen in her article. Noted below are the family names. For a complete listing that includes both given name and surname, please consult McMullen's article or review the record book at the Historical Society Ammons Baker Bard Baxter Bedel Bounce (difficult to read) Brook Brookes/Brooks Brower Brown Buckles Casland/McCasland Clark Collins Cox Davis Deal Denton Deputy Dixon Fear Fitzgerald Foster Gasaway/Gasway Gilaspy/Gillaspy Haysilnick Hill Hooey Houghland Hudson James Jayne Johnson/Johnston Jones Judkins King Lawson Leigh Lewis/Louis McCanal McCasland McDonald May Migonagill Miller Nicholas Sage Shoemaker Stradley Stuart Swope Thomas Tompson Wallace Willson/Wilson
