[edit] Information on Jane McClellandFrom Genforum.com post: David Looney/Mary McClellan Posted by: Barb Braner (ID *****7561) Date: July 06, 2007 at 14:04:22 of 1425 At webside http://homeflash.net/~johnson1 it is recorded LeRoy W. Tilton's book on the Robert Looney family. On Part 7, David (2) Looney Branch they are mistakes about my family. Page 14 states that Mary McClellan's sister Jane McClelland married (1) Edward Sharpe had two sons, Edward and Anthony and then married (2) Samuel Gamble and had Annis Gamble who married Nathan Gregg. This is not correct. Edward Sharp's will dated May 8, 1770 clearly states his sons are Anthony and John and daughter Annis. Their mother did remarry but to John Kerr and had three more children. After all children were grown, she married the third time to James Allison. Edward Sharp was killed by Indians on Sharp's Creek now Boozy Creek where he had built a mill. His widow, Jane McClellan Sharp with her new husband, John Kerr moved there and continued with the mill. John died in 1778 and Sullivan Co. history refers to the Widow Kerr's mill. Please correct the mistakes. If they are left as is they almost become fact. Thanks |
