Hi Kim - been long time since I chatted with you.About 12 years ago you sent me via snail mail a copy of the patent awarded to Andrew Ralston for his threshing machine.My interest is two fold: I have a son named Andrew Ralston (no relation). and second, my dad was minister at Grove UP church in the town.I have a passing interest in the McClure family and the main reason for my writing is a difference in sources regarding the marriage between one of Andrew's sons and a daughter of Robert Brown McClure.In a posting about 2000 on these pages you mentioned that a Thomas Ralston married the McClure daughter.In another source I just came across it states that this daughter was named "Mrs. Jas E. Ralston" .......alas the source is a wiki.And idea of the difference?Here is the URL for the source: http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_McClure_Family/McClures_in_Pennsylvaniahttp://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_McClure_Family/McClures_in_Pennsylvania
But the source appears to be "McClures in Pennsylvania" p179.How have you been?Sure is a lot less activity in these pages at genforum than about 10 years ago.Cheers to you for all your work and interest in our family.
Regards,
Walter R.
