I was wodering if you have any information on this McClure Surname? I appreciate for you sharing. I am a Hamilton and I am working on the wife of: John Hamilton b 1752, Antrim County, Ulster-In, Ireland Died 20 Oct 1843 Lawshe, Meigs Twp, Adams County, Ohio. Notes on Hamilton: SCOTISH DESC.; John - Weaver, landed in Charleston, SC ; 6 wks at sea 1795. John bro and sisters. Harrison returned to SC, was in Ohio. 11 Nov 1907, John Hamilton by S .Y. Hamilton, Macon, Ohio. Our particuliar branch of the Hamilton family in America begins when a John HAMILTON of Scotch decent left Jentry County, Ulster, Ireland about 1795. [Jentry County which I cannot find , must of meant he came from ' Gentry' which means his status or class was high. He and his family came by boat to the New World. He is described as a man small in stature and a weaver by trade. They were on the high seas for six weeks. On the voyage two of their children died Polly and Robert. When they were landing at Charleston Harbor ,South Carolina, the older son William fell overboard but Provdentually he was pick up by some pleasure seekers and was delivered to his parents immediately on their landing. John stayed in Charleston about two years and then immigrated to Ohio early in the 19th. century bringing all of his family except Charley who setteled in Tenn. One son Hanson returned south to live. It is thought that he settled in Clinton County. Why did John's family come to ! America well we don't know for sure but in 1774 addressing the Lord Lieutentant Harwood on the subject of the linen ruin, said the result is the ruin of Ulster and the flight of the Protestant population to America. So, it was the ruin of the linen trade by England who protectedt hem in the enjoyment of all they have, which helped to give to America her so-called Scotch Irish population. And we do know that John Hamilton was a weaver of linen. John came to Adams County Ohio in about 1800 from Charleston, South Carloina. John was in the first trial jury in Adams county he was one of twelve men;, the case was about larceny of a hog this is found on page 90 Histor y of Adams County Ohio by [Evans andStervers] . John was buried in Lawshe Cemetery Adams County ; head stone missing. On page 457 History of Adams County John HAMILTON was one ofthe first settlers in Scott Township he settled west of Tranquility. It says on page 469 History of Adams County that John Hamilton w! as one ofthe early Deacons of the Baptist Church on Soldiers Run in T iffin Township, Adams County Ohio. Some of this information above came from a letter which I copied was found in some old family records,and some from History of Adams County Ohio dated 1900 written by Evans and Stivers. I will try to put a stone up for him as he is our first in our family in AMERICA.
