Marriage

Notes
"Some have claimed that Mary McClure was the daughter of John McClure Jr (LYK7-BMV) and Martha Denny of Cumberland/Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. This does not seem possible, because this John McClure wrote a will in 1805 listing a daughter Mary who was married at that time to John's son-in-law Richard McClure. I've attached a link and transcription of the will and attached it to John and all of the people mentioned in the will" (per https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/collaborate/LTB2-TM2).
Mary (Jane?) McClure was not the daughter of Samuel McClure and Mary Kelso. They had a daughter named "Mary" but she was not married to John Bunten and she died in Virginia. Mary (Jane?) McClure was most likely the " Mary" who was the daughter of John McClure of Rowan County, North Carolina. There are no primary sources that say that she was, but there are also no primary sources that say that she wasn't. And no one knows exactly when she died. Maybe, since John Bunten was so "difficult", she had left him before 1810 and was living by herself or with one of her children. Or a neighbor. Or a friend. Even though there are no primary sources that say so (per https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/collaborate/LTB2-TM2).
