Capt. Mathew McClure - Head of household, 1790 U.S. Census: Capt. 
Mathew McCLURE/McLURE left a very lengthy and detailed will 4 May 1804, 
in which he bequeaths legacies to his family members - his 1000 acre 
land grant in TN [no doubt a military grant]; his slaves, his farm 
land, any potential crops, as well as cash to certain children. Worth 
S. Ray, in his Mecklenburg Signers, list the McClure family among the 
prominent members of the Hopewell Presbyterian Church. Mathew McClure 
is also listed as one of the signers of the Mecklenburg Declaration and 
residing in census district no. 6, which includes Long Creek as it 
southern boundary.
