Also, Nathaniel McClure, son of Halbert McClure (whose will is listed above), appears to have named one of his daughters after his probable sister, Dorothy McClure (note her husband also David Dryden witnessed this will):

  • Page 18.--5th February, 1761. Nathaniel McClure's will--Wife, Mary; eldest son, Holbert, £10 to cure his sore leg, above his share; sons, James and Nathan? (their young brother and sisters).
