Connection made to Matthew McClure family of Mecklenburg Co NC
I managed to find several obscure documents in the Fayette County, Ky. courthouse in August that give positive proof that Thomas McClure, born August 28, 1753, died 1814 Bath County, Kentucky, is the son of Matthew and Jennet McClure of Mecklenburg County, N.C.The first document below has so far only been found in transcript form, in the McClure family file at the Mt. Sterling, Montgomery County, Ky. public library, but it gave me the lead to find other documents in the County Clerk's office in Lexington, Fayette County which support it.
