ANDREW McCLURE, born in Paxtang township,
Lancaster, now Dauphin County, Pa., about 1756, died in Mifflin township; Allegheny County, Pa., 1797-9. He was a member of the company commanded by his brother-in-law, Capt. Joseph Sherer, in the Revolution. He was married January 31, 1775, in Lancaster County, by the Rev. John Elder, to Margaret Barnett, daughter of Joseph Barnett, and a member of a family prominent in the early history of that vicinity. In the spring of 1785 Andrew McClure came to Allegheny County, then Washington, and settled on a farm a few miles from the present town of Homestead. The early death of Andrew McClure accounts for the scant traditions that have been preserved of these pioneers. They are said to have worshipped in the old Paxtang Church before coming west, and were identified with the Lebanon congregation of Mifflin Township.
