General Notes: Wife - Rebecca Blair


When she married McClure, she was the widow of Gen. Parker, of the War of 1812. [HCC 1886, 384] But this seems unlikely given the dates known for various members of the family.

She died suddenly while in attendance at service in the Associate, or Seceder church, Carlisle, Pennsylvania.
