Don't know what else to tell you.John McClurg of Sac Co.IA, Wall Lake, Levey, was b. 12 June 1855, Zwingle, Jackson, IA on 22 Dec 1887, Jackson , IA he married Augusta Margaret Herrig, she was b. April 1867 in Iowa, and I take it Zwingle, and their son was Lynne, b. 1892 in Iowa. In 1901, Edna Ione was b. on the 18th o March.This John being born in 1855 at zwingle, was listed in the US Census of Iowa at the residence of John McClurg 42, b. PA and wife Martha. age 42, b. Ireland. Along with John Hamilton McClurg being born in 1855 is a sister, Margaret A. McClurg of this family. age 18 born in PA. John & Martha moved from PA to zwingle and while at Zwingle, your John Hamilton McClurg was born, and a son named Albert b. c 1859.I am telling you that in PA, there is a will from Margaret McClurg, dau of James McClurg, granting her beloved brother, John in Iowa some items when she dies.John's sister also gives John's daughter, Margaret A. McClurg a bed and her saddle.Knowing that James McClurg of Westmoreland Co. is the father of John McClurg in Iowa is proven beyond a doubt.Truth is stranger than fiction, I certainly can't make it up. Where do you wish your John Hamilton McClurg to be born? No way, he was born at Zwingle Jackson Co. Iowa, his father, John born in Westmoreland Co. PA son of Col. James McClurg, of the North of Ireland.Billmac.
