Hi Kevin, I found a John McClure in Guildhall, Vermont Essex County from the Vermont Historical Gazetteer by Hemenway. Vol 1 The town was chartered by Governor Wentworth, of New Hampshire, Oct. 10 1761. It was granted to Elihu Hall and 63 others. These original proprietors appear to have been residents of New Haven County and vicinity, in Connecticut. Their first Proprietary meeting was holden at New Haven on the last Wednesday of Oct. 1761. The first deed was given by John Blakeslee, Enos Todd, GilesDayton, Sam'l Mix, David Thorp, Joshua Ray, Gershom Todd, Titus Tuttle and JOHN McCLURE to John Hall, 5th, dated Nov. 6, 1761; but by whom the name Guildhall was given to this town is not know. There is a town or locality in England, near London, of the same name, and as far as known by us, the only one in the world.( I did not find anything on this name in Highgate area or Swanton) Polly Pmanosh@pwshift.com > Hi everyone, I have some info on some of my ancesters and I'm not sure how to > proceed.
