Carson: I have all of that info on Elisha McClure. He was born 27 Feb 1837 and died 21 Jan 1924. Here is his obit: The Leitchfield Gazette, Friday, January 25, 1924 #4, Page 1, Headline--One of Grayson County's Oldest Citizens Passed Away Last Monday. Elisha McClure, aged 80, died Monday at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Eugene McCabe (Annie C. McClure) near Leitchfield, from infirmities of age. "Uncle Mack as he was familiarly known, had been in failing health for several years and his death was not unexpected. Funeral services were held from St. Josephs Church, Leitchfield Tuesday, with burial in the Catholic Cemetery. Two children service him: J.J. (James Jediah) McClure, Clarkson, and Mrs. Eugene McCabe (Annie C. McClure), near Leitchfield. His wife, Teresa Edelen McClure died August 17, 1903. Margaret Theresa Edelen was born 16 Nov 1840 and died 17 Aug 1903. They married 1 Apr 1861. They had 7 children: Sarah 16 Jan 1863 - 25 Nov 1886, Thomas Elisha 5 May 1864 - 4 Apr 1917, James Jediah 2 Dec 1865 - 25 Nov 1954, Edwin Clifton 22 Jul 1869 - 9 Feb 1899, Annie C. 8 Nov 1872 - 30 Jan 1953, Hettie Jul 1874 - bef 1915, and Jennie dob unknown - bef 1915.

Hi, VirJean: I did have America in my data, but just couldn't find her. I have her dob as 18 Feb 1850 (sources are 1900 census and the McClure Journal) and the 1900 census says she was born in KY, but VA sounds more correct as it reflects her name. Do you have a source for her birthplace? Here's two bits of data for her: 1900 and 1910 census says 15 children, 12 surviving. KY Death Index: America V Mcclure Death Date: 14 March , 1931 Death Place: Grayson Age: 081 Volume: 14 Certificate: 6619 As for the children, I think Sally's actual name was Lillie May and she was born 9 Dec 1867 (source Journal); she married Abel H. Cull 22 Apr 1889; she died after 1920. Here's a little note I have: "Grayson Gazette, 27 Oct 1899: On last Saturday morning, while Mrs. Abe Cull was out milking, their little daughter fell into the fire place and was badly burned about the face and body. It died from the wounds about 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon. The child was only three years old." I agree with your info on Nora. She died 13 Apr 1931 and she married William F. Rice. As for William T., I show his nick-name as "Greely", and I assume I got that from the census records - not sure. For Alberta, I have her dob as Mar 1873, from the 1900 census, and her dod as 7 Mar 1938 (Jefferson County); she married William D. Nall. Next are the twins: Todd Milton and Etta were born 8 Sep 1875. Todd Milton married Oliva Yates abt 1899 and they had three children: Dolores (abt 1900), Milton (abt 1903), and Douglas Y (31 May 1906). His second wife was Metta B. Skaggs (1878-?)

Also in my files I have a copy of Theordore's death certificate and a copy of America's obituary (The Leitchfield Gazette, March 20, 1931). In her obituary it mentions Ben McClure as having preceded her in death and it mentions Mrs. Peddicord at the end of the obituary which is who I found your father living with in Logan County Illinois in the 1930 Census. Also in the book Kentucky Genealogy and Biography, Volume 1 by Battle, Perrin & Kniiffin in 1885 and reprinted in 1969 and edited by Thomas W.

Hi, Charles, What a lot of wonderful information to work with. I do have a few facts I can add, but I will have to put this data in my Family Tree Maker and do some comparisons with what I have and what you sent. Grayson County Birth records show the twins as Etta and Joe. Maybe poppa and mamma couldn't make up their mind whether the son was going to be Todd or Joseph. Looks like the one backing Todd became the winner. Etta died on 12 Sep 1875 - four days after she was born. (McClure Cemetery Vol II, page 138) Marion Bevill is actually Francis Marion Beville. He was married to Eliza Belle Moore, d/o Harrison. They were parents of the four E.E., M.E, Ova and Annie May Beville, who are buried in the McClure Cemetery (Vol II, Page 137.) Just got home from work and will be fixing me a bite to eat in a few minutes. Thanks for all your wonderful records.

McClure b. 2-24-1889 and unknown mother. Benjamin is the son of Theodore McClure b. 11-14-1843 and d. 4-7-1917 and America Beville b. 2-18-1850 and d. 3-14-1931. (America is the daughter of Anan Beville and Fannie Bocock). Theodore is the son of Samuel (Big Sam) McClure b. 1820 and d. 7-8-1888 and Frances Cravens. Also in my files I have a copy of Theordore's death certificate and a copy of America's obituary (The Leitchfield Gazette, March 20, 1931). In her obituary it mentions Ben McClure as having preceded her in death and it mentions Mrs. Peddicord at the end of the obituary which is who I found your father living with in Logan County Illinois in the 1930 Census. Also in the book Kentucky Genealogy and Biography, Volume 1 by Battle, Perrin & Kniiffin in 1885 and reprinted in 1969 and edited by Thomas W. Westerfield, there is a biography of Thomas Beville who was America's brother (she is mentioned in the bio.). If you are interested in copies of some of this material let me know." The next child was Grace, born Mar 1891, who married D. S. Bishop (abt 1886 AL) - they married 28 Nov 1916. No other info on them - might have gone back to AL.

He was born 27 Feb 1837 and died 21 Jan 1924. Here is his obit: The Leitchfield Gazette, Friday, January 25, 1924 #4, Page 1, Headline--One of Grayson County's Oldest Citizens Passed Away Last Monday. Elisha McClure, aged 80, died Monday at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Eugene McCabe (Annie C. McClure) near Leitchfield, from infirmities of age. "Uncle Mack as he was familiarly known, had been in failing health for several years and his death was not unexpected. Funeral services were held from St. Josephs Church, Leitchfield Tuesday, with burial in the Catholic Cemetery. Two children service him: J.J. (James Jediah) McClure, Clarkson, and Mrs. Eugene McCabe (Annie C. McClure), near Leitchfield. His wife, Teresa Edelen McClure died August 17, 1903. Margaret Theresa Edelen was born 16 Nov 1840 and died 17 Aug 1903. They married 1 Apr 1861. They had 7 children: Sarah 16 Jan 1863 - 25 Nov 1886, Thomas Elisha 5 May 1864 - 4 Apr 1917, James Jediah 2 Dec 1865 - 25 Nov 1954, Edwin Clifton 22 Jul 1869 - 9 Feb 1899, Annie C. 8 Nov 1872 - 30 Jan 1953, Hettie Jul 1874 - bef 1915, and Jennie dob unknown - bef 1915. I don't have anything on America Belville McClure, but that name certainly sounds familiar. Perhaps I have it and can't find it - give me some more info on her, such as birth surname, etc. and I'll search again. Charles A.
