Research Notes

John's birth date varies considerably.

John's FindAGrave record gives his birth location as Ireland, but there seems to be no evidence for this. Both identified census records say he was born in Pennsylvania.

The death certificate of John's youngest son, John F. Clure, gives his parents as John McClure and Ruth Axtell. Ancestry Sharing Link - Ancestry Record 5164 #2241926
