Listmembers, I am again seeking information on the MCCLAM/MCLAMB families of Bladen, Duplin and Sampson Counties. James McClam was living in the household or on the property of James WEST, Bladen Co., 1769. William MCCLAM was engaged in purchase and sale of land, Duplin Co. late 1700's. Would like to correspond with anyone having knowledge of these families. I am especially interested in the MCCLAM spouses' names as well as names of spouses of their children. Thanks.

Fran and others interested in McClam, Using the NC State Archives MARS (Manuscript and Archives Reference System) available at http://www.ah.dcr.state.nc.us/archives/MARS.HTM I see that William McClam obtained 5 land grants in Duplin County between 1773 and 1780. Also Sampson McClam received 2 land grants in Duplin County in 1762. Knowing that many of the early Duplin settlers came from the northeast, I looked and found a Daniel McClam referenced on the deed of John Williams shown as Edgecombe and Tyrrell Counties in the Granville Proprietery Land Office in 1752. I can't post the graphic images of those card files on the list, but if anyone would like to have them you can get them at the site above or I will be glad to send them to you. MARS is a great tool.
