Notes
Some researchers believe that "Mary", who married Robert Tate (1745-1806) of Augusta and Russell County, Virginia was Margaret McClung, the daughter on John McClung, 1731-1817; and Elizabeth Alexander, 1735-?, but this is in direct contradiction with the Find-A-Grave Page of Margaret McClung and William McClung's "The McClung Genealogy: a genealogical and biographical record of the McClung family from the time of their emigration to the year 1904".
Margaret McClung married a DIFFERENT Robert Tate (1755-1832) of Middlebrook, Augusta County, Virginia.
