Biography

Name: Mary Wilson 1 Sex: F Birth: 1745 Death: BEF 2 APR 1834 in Haywood County, North Carolina Census: 1810 Haywood County, North Carol;ina Note: December 20, 1815 Andrew and Mary' son Joseph made application as Administrator in Haywood County, North Carolina.

This would normally indicate that there was a Will. BUT, there is no Will in County Records. I submit to you that Andrew died intestate (NO WILL). Under Old English Common Law property went to the wife.

In the following it would appear that Mary died intestate also. The children came to an agreement to equally divide all her assets and that is what the document below is for. SO this would indicate that Mary died in late 1833 or early 1834.

Haywood County. Deed book C, pg 302&303, 2 April 1834, shows a land settlement after Andrew McClure's death, and notes that those listed reside in Haywood and Macon Counties. Andrew McClure's children are listed as follows:

"Betw... Thomas McClure, John McClure, Andrew McClure, William McClure, James McClure, John McClure administrator for Joseph McClure, dec'd., James Bradshaw & Margaret his wife, Peter Mason & Mary his wife, Thomas Kimsey & Ann his wife."
