My father was a McCloy who was born in Louisiana in 1916/17 and his father was a McCloy born in Louisiana around 1892 but his father was Samuel Wilson McCloy who was born in Ireland and settled in Big Sandy area around East Baton Rouge, LA. Samuel married twice having two sons by his first wife who then died and then having four or more children by his second wife before his death. They lived around the Morgan City, LA area as well but the name of the city was probably Brashear back then. I know they came from County Derry but I can't find who Samuel's parents or siblings where to locate them. Frederick McCloy Sr. married Annie Belle Henson (I believe the name was Hanson originally but was changed to Henson later) in 1914 in Plaquemine, LA and they had two sons before her untimely death in 1918 from the great flu epidemic. Her mother was Annie Gillen (Gillan) Henson who also used the name Poston (Charles Louis Poston was her husband at one time), the name Stacker (I don't know where this came from and she used other names). I believe she was from Muncie, IN, Mississippi or another state before ending up in Plaquemine, Louisiana. Finding her family has been really hard because no one knew much about her except what she wrote down on their marriage licenses, etc. and she was a midwife and loved to fish. The date of her birth is believed to be 8/8/1872 and she died in Plaquemine 2/2/1935. Does any of these names sound familiar to anyone? Please let me know if they do. I have been researching them for over 30 years and it took me 30 just to find out Annie's name and where they were buried. Any help you can give, will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
