General Notes: Husband - Judge Francis McClure


He came from Ireland, settled on a farm in Mifflin township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, about 1780, and died there in his one hundred and fourth year. He was several times in the legislature, and was associate judge of Allegheny County for over thirty years.

He received an excellent education, and emigrated to America about 1770, settling in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. He then removed to Wheeling, Virginia, where he served as postmaster several years, and about the year 1788 came to Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, where he took up about five hundred acres of land in "Buttermilk Hollow," in Mifflin township. There he built a stone house which was in use many years. He became associate judge in Allegheny County, and was a man of great influence in his day. He was possessed of a considerable fortune, kept fox hounds, hunters, etc., and his house was beautifully furnished with mahogany furniture. Like all of his family he was a strict observer of the United Presbyterian faith, and he was a very determined adherent of the principles of the Whig party. [GPHWP, 1658]
