The following is what I have on my Martha and her parents. (very little, I'm aftraid) The Barclays were Scot/Irish Presbyterians who moved from PA to OH to KY. I have found very little information about the PA/OH Barclay, however. William Barclay, who married Martha was the son of a Stephen and Mary Barclay but I have been unable to find a trace of them to lead me back to Ireland. The 1790 Census records seem to indicate that the Barclays, Kirkpatricks and McElhennys were all in PA at the same time, living in Cumberland and Westmoreland Co. but don't know if these are related. Any help would be very helpful and very much appreciated. I hope this info is enough for you to see if we connect.. Looking forward to hearing from you.
