Hi everyone, I've been stumped for some time on Samuel L. MCCLURE b abt 1830 TN d abt 1868 Parsons, Decatur Co., TN. He married bef 1853 Elizabeth WHITE b abt 1835 TN. Elizabeth WHITE had previously been married to James BROCK who left his property to a W. A. J. BROCK. Their children are Charles C. A., Marsha J., Lavina Kezar "Kizzie," my ggmother (who married William Phil LUNSFORD), Mary Lentine, and Robert S. I believe Samuel's parents are John and Viney MCCLURE and Elizabeth's parents are Elijah and Kissen WHITE. Family lore states that Samuel L. MCCLURE was killed because he was to testify as a witness to a murder. I've checked for probate records (which I think did not start until 1869) and they had no record of Samuel's death. I have found court minutes about bond being set for his widow and children, but nothing about how he died. Does anyone have any information about Samuel's death and this family or could point me to where I might find that information? Thanks, Trena
