Hi all - I'm a new member and the Chester Co. ancestors I am researching are: RICHARD MCCLURE, 1768-1824, Sadsbury, son of David McClure and Margaret Leckey/Lackey/Lecky, buried Upper Octorara Presbyterian Church Cemetery SARAH MCPHERSON, 1774-1848, wife of Richard McClure, dau. of Alexander McPherson and Mary Ferguson, buried Upper Octorara Presbyterian Church Cemetery MARGARET MCCLURE, 1798-1852, dau. of Richard McClure and Sarah McPherson, Sadsbury, Wallace, m. Benjamin Milnes, Sadsbury. BENJAMIN MILNES/MILNS/MILLS, 1802?-1880+, Sadsbury, Wallace, may have been from England. Was partner with Alexander McClure (son of Richard McClure & Sarah McPherson) in Union Woolen Mill in Sadsbury which was dissolved in 1826. WILLIAM MCCLURE, b. 1800-1810, maybe died 1840, m. Emily; sons William and Thomas; 1841 petition for guardian for minors (Benjamin, Evan, Sarah Jane, and John by Ann McClure but don't know if she was my William's wife. Ann McClure appears in 1840 census, Sadsbury, then disappears. Can't get lead on her or any of the children. EMILY MCCLURE, b 1810-1820, Sadsbury, d. ????, dau. of Richard McClure and Sarah McPherson. JANE MCCLURE, b. 1790-1800; dau. of Richard McClure & Sarah Ferguson; marr. Samuel Gibson; there is tombstone for a Jane Gibson who died in 1830 in Upper Octorara Presbyterian Church Cemetery. Don't know if this is her or not. SAMUEL GIBSON, husband of Jane McClure. ANN (COCHRAN) LECKEY ROAN, 1724-1788; dau. of James Cochran and Ann Rowan; 1st husband Alexander Leckey/Lackey/Lecky; mother of Margaret Leckey, grandmother of Richard McClure above; 2nd husband, the Rev.

MARGARET LECKEY/ LACKEY/ LECKY, b. 1746, d. ????,dau. of Alexander Leckey & Ann Cochran ALEXANDER LECKEY/LACKEY/LECKY. 1717-1747. Auditor for Orphan Courts of Chester Co. Buried Upper Octorara Presbyterian Church Cemetery. Tombstone listed as Alexander Luckey. I've got Wills for most of these people. Have researched books and family trees on Ancestry.com and websites, researched the online archives at the Chester County government website; and checked out the Presbyterian Church Historical Society in Philadelphia, discovering they have Upper Octorara Presbyterian Church records back to 1815. Now I need a trip to PA to research records not online! One day....in the meantime any help is appreciated. Jeanne Delaney
