By Pamela Pattison Lash (updated 30 September 2012)
The couple was married on 1 Apr 1845 according to James, with no location mentioned. New information suggests the marriage may have taken place in Beaver Co, PA.
Name: James Mcclure
Gender: Male
Birth Year: 1828
Spouse Name: Harriet Mathild Mchaffie

An interesting possibility exists that Harriet’s brother, William McHaffie married Margaret Jane McClure, possibly James’ sister c1854 in Beaver Co, PA; this couple was enumerated in Bryan, Pulaski Twp, Williams Co, PA in 1880, but before and after this census they lived in Beaver Co, PA.

Bryan Democrat, 12 April 1866
Burglary – On Friday night McLure’s Merchant Tailor Shop was entered through a back window and robbed of clothing to the value of $250. The villains executed the job with consummate skill, removing the glass from the sash without breaking it. No clue to the perpetrators has been discovered.
(right below this)
Arrested – Since writing the above a fellow calling himself Davis was arrested near Stryker on suspicion of being concerned in the robbery of McLure’s Tailor Shop. All the missing clothing, except one coat, was recovered and the fellow brought to this place and committed to jail to await an examination. From the circumstances connected with the arrest there can be little doubt of a conviction.
Note - I am fairly sure this is McClure even though the article names the tailor as McLure.
In the 1870 Bryan, Pulaski Twp federal census, p36, the family was listed as James 45 OH tailor, Harriet 42 PA, William (no age) PA, George 18 PA, Mary 15 PA, Etta Wright 19 PA, Eddie McClure 10 OH, and Hiram McClure 6 PA. James may have been a Civil War soldier, but that has not been confirmed; if so, he applied for and received as a resident of Bryan, OH a CW veteran’s pension for disability to his knees and received as of Oct 1879 a payment of $12 per month. The McClure family was enumerated in the 1880 Bryan, Pulaski Twp federal census p647B, as James McClure 50 OH tailor, Harriet 51 PA, Edward 19 PA, James 16 PA. Note that their youngest child’s name changed from Hiram to James.
In the 1883 Military Pensioners book there is a listing for James McClure of Bryan, OH who suffered from synovitis of the knees; he was born in 1831 and died in 1895 with burial in Brown Cemetery, Center Twp, Williams Co, OH. His CW service was enumerated as Co G 101th and Co H 140th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry (cert # 163, 062).

Bryan Democrat, 10 Jan 1884
J. McClure, merchant tailor, Lockhart’s block, has a fine assortment of piece goods, from which he is prepared to make to order single garments or full suits in any style desired and guarantee fits.
In the Bryan newspapers, such as The Bryan Democrat, 4 Mar 1886, p5 c1, Jas. McClure, merchant tailor, was located on Lockharts Block, the southwest corner of the court square in Bryan.
James charged Harriett with being willfully absent for three years or more and gross neglect. He brought RA Scott and AL Miller to court as witnesses. A divorce was granted and Harriet was given $15 as alimony. On 30 Oct 1886 in Wms Co James McClure remarried Mrs. Harriett M. McClure (Marriage V5 #893) so evidently the couple reconciled, but it appears to be only temporary because on 6 Mar 1888 James brought a suit for divorce again. On 28 Nov 1888 he asked that the court papers be sent to Fulton Co, OH; nothing further is known.
