Margaret Smith's Lost Ancestors
Descendants of Richard McClurkin
RICHARD McCLURKIN (or McLURKEN) was born c 1750 in IRELAND;
County Antrim; Ballymena, and died Bef. 1784 in South Carolina. He
is believed to have married JANE DUNWOODY c 1774 in South Carolina.
She was born c 1755, and died 1822 in Alabama; Jefferson Co. (Source: Will,
dated 5 Dec 1821, probated 25 May 1822. Will Bk, pg 29, quoted in
Alabama
Records, Vol 18, Jefferson County, Compiled by Pauline Jones Gandrud.).
Notes for RICHARD McCLURKIN:
James McClurkin may have been Elizabeth McClurkin's father, and the
husband of Jane Dunwoody. However, see the following, posted to the McClurkin
Genform by Butch Sanders 2 May 2002::
It is true that Lois C. Myer in her early work suggested that
James McClurkin Jr. married Jane Dunwoody. However, in what would seem to
be a later work, she states that Jane Dunwoody married Richard McClurkin
by whom she had the 5 daughters (that migrated from Rutherford Co., NC to
Jefferson Co., AL. LDS Reference is:
"Descendants of Richard McClurkin and Jane Dunwoody of Ireland through
the Lindsey and Waldrop lines - FHL BRITISH Film [ 547596 ] compiled by
Lois Myer."
As far as I know, no one has even a guess as to the wife and offspring
of James Jr.
Evidence cited in support of Richard McClurkin/Jane Dunwoody union is
based on property transactions. In 1773 Richard and wife received 150 acre
grant on Jamey's Creek just east of present day Woodruff (and what is now
called Jimmy's Creek). In 1785, Jane McClurkin received property in her
own name in what seems to be the same location. Then in 1799 she sold some
of same property. Here's a summary of these key transactions and others:
5 Feb 1773
Richard McClurkin was granted 150 acres of land in Spartanburg Co. Jameys
Creek, waters of Tyger River, bounded by Charles Denem, Isaac Crow; survey
5 Feb. 1773"
2 May 1785
Grant by Gov William Moultrie to Jane McClurkin.
19 Nov 1799
Jane McClurkin sells 100 acres to Paul Cassleberry for $200. This 100
acres is on Jameys Creek. A 2 May 1785 Grant by Gov William Moultrie to
Jane McClurkin. Wit James Allen and Samuel Woodruff signed Jane McClurkin;
s mark wit oath 15 Jan 1801 Samuel Woodruff to George Bruton re 22 Jan 1801.
When Castleberry sales the same piece of property it is stated that it
was part of a grant to Jean Mcclearkin.
?? Apr 1800
Jane McClurkin from Carlton Lindsey, both of Rutherford Co., for 100
pounds: 50 acres on branches of the north fork of White Oak Creek waters
of the Green River, bounded by GREEN, patent originally granted to JESHONIAS
TABER by Gov. Richard Dobbs in 1795. Witnessed by MARTIN EDWARDS and MICAJEY
LINSEY.
28 May 1817
Isaac Crow in his will gives to Sarah Crow the other half of the tract
of land whereon he lives, also one tract lying on the Tiger River being
the tract he bought from Macajah Lindsey and the heirs of the widow McClurkin.
He wants 100 acres taken off the upper end of said tract, land adjacent to
Chasneys land and Wm. Posey.
1822 Rutherfod Co., NC
Jane McClurkin to John W. Allen -- 2 deeds.
Probably unrelated to the Richard and Jane issue, we find this 1794
deed for property in same general vacinity:
2 Apr 1794
Thomas McClerkin sells 100 acres to Edward hooker for 20 pds sterling.
This 100 acres was part of 1000 acre grant 21 Jul 1775 by Gov William bull
to James Sample Jr. James Sample Jr. sold it to Rotry Simple ?. Rotry Simple
sold it to John McCullock 6 Dec 1785. John McCullock sold it to Thomas McClerkin.
Grant between the Tyger and Enoree River: borders Spencer Bobo, Tod (since
sold to John Rainwater) John Stone, Whitaker, Kirnber(?) and McCullock (lease
to Edward Hooker) Wit Fielding Foster, Sarah Casey, and John foster. Signed
Thomas McClurkin wit oath 9 Jun 1794 Fielding Foster to Thomas Farrow. Rec
11 Nov 1794.
Anybody know who this Thomas McClurkin might be?? Should note that Edward
Hooker and wife Millay sell to Thomas Tod for 50 pd sterling the 100 acres
he had bought from Thomas McClerkin 3 months earlier for 20 pd sterling.
Thus would seem Thomas got robbed.

=============================================================================================================================================================
Came to US on the Brigantine Free Mason in 1772.
Settled in SC. Was with a group of Protestants under the Rev. William
Martin who came on 5 ships from Ireland to Charleston SC.
Jan 6, 1773, given warrants for 150 acres - the amount for a man &
wife
- from A Compilation of the Original Lists of Protestant Immigrants
to South Carolina, 1763-1773, compiled by Jane Revill C 1968.
Several researchers state that Richard McClurkin was the husband of
Jane Dunwoody. They have also stated that they were married in SC. The
information from the Revill book indicates that Richard was married when
he applied for land, though it may have been to someone else.
However, James McClurkin may have been Jane's husband and Elizabeth's
father. There were several McClurkin's on the 5 ships, including (though
not limited to): 4 Jameses, 2 Richards, 2 Thomases, 1 Samuel, 1 Mary, 1
Eleanor, 1 Lillias, 1 Jane. This is allowing for the probability that the
names McClurkin, McClurken, M'Lurkam, McLurkam and McLurkan, found
in the records, were all really the same name!

Isaac Crow Spartanburg will 1817
Posted by: Butch Sanders
Date: February 06, 2001 at 11:21:37
I found an old will of Isaac Crow of Spartanburg SC that might be of
interest to someone. My interests are Sanders' and McClurkins of early SC.
This will is from a book -- title below with will. McClurkin is mentioned
but once in the whole book, but the context in which that once occurs sure
raises some interesting questions for McClurkin researchers. Anyway the widow
McClurkin mentioned in Isaac Crows Spartanburg will below was living next
door to a William Crow in 1790 Spartanburg census.
Butch
The book is:
A COLLECTION OF UPPER SOUTH CAROLINA
GENEALOGICAL and FAMILY RECORDS
Volume II
On page 62 and 63 is will of Isaac Crow of Spartanburg Dist., SC. which
reads:
Book A Page 114. Probate Judge Office. Spartanburg, SC.
I, Isaac Crow of Spartanburg Dist, being weak in health and body,
but of a sound mind and memory. I give to my beloved wife on half of that
tract of land that I now live on (lines given) during her natural life,
also I give my wife one negro woman named Sarah, to have said for her life
time, also one bed and furniture and all her wearing appareal and a large
trunk. I give to my dtr Hannah one tract of land lying on Tiger River being
the tract I bought from Edward Hooper containing 132 1/2 acres, also one
negro by name Bob. I give to my dtr. Hannah son John one tract of land lying
on James Creek, being the tract I bought from William Chambler and Thomson
Chambler and Isaac Crow the son of James the said land to be left for the
executors to manage as they think best for the boys. I give to my son Samuel
Crow and his wife Rebeckah Crow his wife and the heirs of her body one negro
man named Jack. I give to Samuel Crow one negro girl named Marak. I give
to James Crow son of Samuel Crow one negro boy named John. I give to Elizabeth
Crow dtr. of Samuel Crow one negro boy named Allin. I give to Samuel Crow
Jr. son of Samuel Crow Senr. one negro boy named Lewis. I give to Sarah Crow
the other half of the tract of land whereon I now live, also one tract lying
on the Tiger River being the tract I bought from Misaja Lindsay and the heirs
of the widow McClunkin. I want 100 acres taken off the upper end of said
tract, land adj. Chasneys land and Wm. Posey. I give to Samuel Crow son of
Isaac Crow Senr. all the tract of land that I give to Benjamin Crow son of
Samuel Crow. Any property not bequeath in the foregoing will to be equally
divided between the following my wife and legatees Hannah Langston, Samuel
Crow, Isaac Crow. I appoint Joseph Barnet, Samuel Woodruff, Esq. executors.
Dated 28 May 1817. Wit: Joseph Barnett, Samuel Woodruff Senr., Easter X Shurley.
Recorded 22 Oct 1817.
I have little doubt that Misaja Lindsay is Micajah Lindsey and widow
McClunkin is widow McClurkin. A William Crow is next door neighbor of Spartanburg
widow McClurkin in 1790. And Micajah Lindsey is supposed to have married
an Elizabeth McClurkin daughter of a widow McClurkin.

Notes for JANE DUNWOODY:
Acc. to Lois Meyer's notes, "On May 2, 1785, Jane McClurken took land
in her own name in Spartanburg County. S.C. She sold this land on Nov.
19, 1799, and moved to Rutherford County, North Carolina."
Lois believed Jane to have been the widow of Richard McClurken, rather
than James McClurken, and says
"Richard McClurken granted 150 Acres of land 1/6 1773. Came from
Ireland in the Ship "Brigantine Free Mason" in the year 1772. 150 Acres
of land means: Himself and wife.
"From State House records at Columbia, S.C. -
Deed was granted Richard McClurken March 17,
1775
150 Acres on James Creek, Craven County, S.C.
or Jeameys Creek, Waters of Tiger River, between
Union and Newberry & Spartanburg
Counties today. Bounded by land of Charles
Denems, S.E. by Isaac Crows, all
other land vacant.
Plat Book 18-152
Grant 25-398" [Note: the grant numbers are typed over and thus
unclear.]
Lois gives a sketch of the land, looking somewhat like this:

killed in the Revolutionary War, leaving a widow and six children."
