Recently I was contacted by a McClure researcher on the James and Harriet McClure family and their son Samuel Edward McClure. Mother and Father James and Harriet divorced twice and son Samuel Edward divorced once in Williams Co, OH. "Eddie" went on to marry Carrie Kelly whose family also lived in Williams County. Here is more information on the McClure-Kelly family.
