I have hit a brick wall in researching this MC CLANE branch of my family tree. Ggg grandfather Marquis (or Marcus or Mark) MC CLANE, born circa 1808, died 1879, married Agnes/Nancy WILSON prior to 1830. Children: Rebecca (born circa. 1831) Robert (1838) Henrietta (1842) James (1843) Sarah 1846 Ira Martin (my gg grandfather, born 12 Mar 1848, New Sewickly Twp. Beaver County PA, died 11 Jun 1936 in Beaver Falls, PA) Nancy 1850. PA censuses show the family living in Wayne Township, Lawrence County and New Sewickly Township, Beaver County. There are all kinds of variations in surname spelling in the censuses as well - McLean, McLain, McClaine, Maclen, and Macklin - to name just a few. My family apparently adopted the MC CLANE spelling sometime during Marquis's lifetime. I think Marquis’s parents may have been John and Rachel McClane and that Agnes/Nancy’s parents may have been Andrew and Rebecca WILSON - by the proximity of gravestones. And I'm assuming MARQUIS is a family name since my grandfather Frank Wilson MC CLANE bore the WILSON moniker. Has anyone out there encountered this family or can anyone give me any leads? I’m getting back into genealogy after a fifteen year hiatus. And I’m a really new hand at computers and the Internet. Any help will be appreciated. Karen Booth Millsboro DE
