The only Mackelduff I find in F & C is Elizabeth, who marriedJohn McClure 2-6-1816, and they had 2 sons; Joseph and James. John was the son of the original emigrant John McClure, who fame from Ireland in 1730 with his 4 brothers. They first came to NC but 3 of the 4 migrated to Uwchlan. A patent was granteed by Thomas and Richard Penn (sons of Wm) to John and James McClure in 1748. Here's where it gets REALLY CONFUSING! John Jr's 1st wife, Elizabeth Mackelduff, died in 1822, and he married, 2nd (ready for this?)....Elizabeth Mackelduff, 1st cousin of his first wife! I found a Thomas, Frances, Thomas and a George (who was a fuller) Smedley, all on the taxable list of Willistown in 1752. Anne Smedley was listed as a landowner in Willistown in 1774. Good luck...I think there are some clues for you there........
