Rh The only further information, is that found in Chalkley, vol. III, p. 384: "Aug. 27, 1761, Jas. McClure, of Craven County, South Carolina, to John Ramsey, 408 acres devised to James and his brother Samuel, by will of father, James McClure, and descended to grantor by survivorship, being the same that James the father bought of William Beverly, 6th June, 1739. Delivered: Wm. Ramsey 5th Oct., 1772."

It is probable that he emigrated to Craven County, N. C., instead of Craven District, S. C. The records at New Bern, Craven Co., N. C., give a deed to James McClure 1760. There is no further mention of his name. Under Wills, the Craven County records contain that of Jacob McClure, 1837, who mentions a son, Elisha McClure.

F., the fourth son and sixth child of James and Agnes McClure, was born after parents came to Virginia. He was baptized by Rev. John Craig Nov. 9. 1740. According to the terms of his father's will, 1756, he was to share the farm equally with his brother James. It seems from the record of his brother James that he died prior to 1761.

G., the youngest child of James and Agnes McClure, was born about 1741; was baptized by Rev. John Craig Nov. 8, 1741; is mentioned in her father's will 1756. No further record.

With these we conclude the records of the descendants of James and Agnes McClure, the original settlers.
