This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: McClain, Patterson, Norman Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/zhB.2ACI/1089.1 Message Board Post: Jesse McClain and Flora Patterson were my husband's 3rd great-grandparents. They had 9 children before Jesse died in 1844. We didn't know about a 2nd marriage for Flora. All we have is a deathdate of 9 Nov 1867 taken from a DAR application of one of Flora's granddaughters. This really intrigues me. I'm going to poke around, but right now all of our files are packed in boxes as we prepare for a move. Please keep in touch. Are you also a descendant of Flora? We never have figured out who her parents were, but we haven't given up.
