To: Anonymous McClung Since your McCLUNG family came into Pennsylvania in the 1730s, you may want to bear the following in mind. Northumberland Co. was not established until 1772, when it was taken off of Philadelphia Co., established in 1682. You might find some helpful civil records (e.g., land transfers, taxes, etc.) in Philadelphia Co. Your McClungs probably had Scottish roots and as such they were almost certainly Presbyterians. The Presbyterian Church in the USA organized its general presbytery in 1706. Subdivisions over the years have produced a number of Presbyterian denominations in this country. You might get some guidance about archived Presbyterian church records from the 1730's if you contact today's largest single group of Presbyterians. They have direct roots back to the 1706 general presbytery. Their basic Website is at http://www.pcusa.org/ and their index search page is at http://www.pcusa.org/search/index.htm .
