Hi Jim, Haven't written in awhile - never have found that reference for the WFT info I had... however, I've found about the exact info on the LDS search web page that came up last month. There's an Ancestral File record for a William McClure d. in Bourbon Co., KY in 1794 who was married to Elizabeth Kerr on 12/26/1769 in Augusta Co. VA. Record number is AFN: 14JM-3S2. Children listed in file match also -- except looks like there's quite a few repeats. Check it out! Regards, Julie
