General Notes: Husband - James McClure

---

He removed in 1769 to the "Wyoming settlement," and settled on the west bank of the North Branch of the Susquehanna river, about one mile above the mouth of Fishing creek, where he built a log house, surrounded by a stockade, which was known as McClure's Fort. He was a member of the Committee of Safety during the Revolution, and a man of prominence during that illustrious era. Of his children we have little knowledge.
