Hello all. I thought I'd share what I found recently at the GA Archives in
the hopes that it will help someone. I'm breaking down my finds in hopes of
not sending too much in one note. Not all of the McClures for which I found
records the day I researched are known to me, so I may or may not be
related to them all. I've already posted this to the McClure list, so
apologies for those who've seen it already over there.

Note: My research indicates this J.A. McClure was Julia Ann Parker McClure,
2nd wife of Reese J. McClure, and this Eliza McKinney was Reese McClure's
daughter. I'll be glad to correspond with anyone researching these families.
