Ok... here's my gg grandmother's lineage (Sara Jane MCCLURE whom was m. to my gg grandfather Pleasant Andrew MYERS); they lived in Elkmont, East TN foothills of the Smoky Mountains and her line did come in from NC. *NOTE that I have found them listed at Nat'l Archives under Cherokee Acceptance (the girls) and have found a Jesse MCCLURE listed accepted under Choctsaw, as well.
Sara Jane MCCLURE b. DEC 28, 1860 Little Cove, Sevier Co., TN
Sara, dau of Mary Emile MCCLURE JUN 1841 b. Wears Valley, Sevier, TN & Charles William "Bill' ANTHONY.
(Mary and Charles married much later, long after their children were born) as he was m. to another, Candis His WILLIAMS w/children, as well.
Mary Emile, dau of Jessie MCCLURE and Nancy WHITE. Jessie b. 1810 SC d. 1887 Weakley TN. He and Nancy WHITE were married in Haywood Co., NC in 1828 - see notes below*.
Jessie MCCLURE, son of James MCCLURE and Sarah STRAIN. Burke and Haywood Co., NC come into play here, as well as migration into Blount Co. East TN.
There are records that suggest that James MCCLURE was the son of Andrew MCCLURE, old Rowan County Settement Records but I also find: Augusta Co., VA Tax List: Andrew, Isaac, James, John, John, Josiah, Josias Jr., Wm And A Thomas MCCLURY Living Near One Another. Also have found records that link here in Rutherford County, NC.
I believe this line came in from Pennsylvania and even possible ties to Maryland,where I reside. I've found alot of MCCLURE'S that migrated into old Madison, Frederick County, VA ca1700's but eventually a few MCCLURE'S left for OHIO and other's took the old wagon road down thru VA into SC>NC and eventually East TN as many did.
