[edit] Disputed InformationThere is considerable dispute among researchers as to when John McClung and Rebecca Stuart were married. According to several publications, John McClung married first to Janet Thompson. One of those publications, "Defending the Wilderness", by David J. Emmick, as follows: One caveat in the record above is that based upon other records, Thomas McClung listed as a son of John McClung's SECOND marriage was possibly a product of his first marriage with Janet Thompson, but this needs additional research. In addition, a key record proving John McClung's first marriage to Janet Thompson is listed in the following Chalkley's references:
Robert Means was indeed the uncle of Janet "Jennet" Thompson and the records above re-inforce and help to prove a prior marriage of John McClung to Jennet Thompson. Disputed Record Recently, a supposed marriage bond of John McClung to Rebecca Stuart in 1726 has surfaced to "prove" that there was no prior marriage to Jennet Thompson, but the origin/location of this record has not been shared by the submitter of the marriage bond on Ancestry.com, casting doubt upon its authenticity. This marriage bond obviously is in direct conflict with the records listed above. References
