Looking for descendants of Andrew McLure/McClure.Andrew was born bet 1752-1756.He served in the Rev. War 1776-1783.
He served first as an assistant barrackmaster and then as a sergeant.Andrew was discharged at New Windsor New York 5 Jun 1783.By 1789 he was living at
Hanover Twp. in Morris Co. NJ.1794 he served in the PA Insurrection.By 1800 he appears on the census in Luzerne Co. PA. He moved to Columbia Co. by 1830 and by 1850 he is living in Schuykill Co. PA. Andrew died 27 Jun 1850 in either Columbia or Schuykill Co.
Children believed to have been from his first marriage were Elizabeth born abt 1780 married Dirck "Richard" VAN VLIET; John b bef 1788married Mary; James b 1792 in NJ married Keziah after 30 Nov 1815; David (twin?) 1794 in NJ married Margaret JAMISON; and Andrew (twin?) b 1794 in NJ married Sophia SHIVLEY.A female appears with Andrew age 26-45 on 1800 census.First assumption was this was first wife Elizabeth (?).Now am not so sure.
Andrew married second Mary ALLEN 10 Jul 1804 Luzerne Co. at the home of Catharine BOSTON's father Joseph BRITIAN.Children from second marriage were William born bet 1800-1810 and died bef 1820; George Washington McClure born abt 1804 bap 10 Sep 1810 at First Presbyterian Church, Wilke Barre, Luzerne Co. PA; Charlott born c 1805 bap 10 Sep 1810; Absalom b c 1807 bap 10 Sep 1810; Sarah b c 1810 married Thomas BAUGHART 27 Mar 1831 in Columbia Co. PA; Male born bet 1810-1820 died bef Aug 1820; and Mariann b c 1813 bap 20 Aug 1815.
Andrew collected a Rev. War pension 20 Apr 1818 and widow Mary Allen continued until her death.Andrew is listed with the DAR and was submitted from a descendant of daughter Sarah BAUGHART.
I believe that Andrew also had a brother James who served in Rev. War.
I should like to find the name of Andrew's first wife and where they married also where his children were baptised.Any help or information on any of this family would be greatly appreciated.
