Hi,
I can't help you with any of the information I have, but I think I might link into this family somehow. As far as I know my Great Grandfather was David McClure, b. 1840 in Donegal. He moved to Australia in about 1863. His parents were William McClure and Sarah McIlwaine I have no dates for them. William McClure's father was David McClure and he married a Mary.
The reason why I think I might link in is David (b.1840) had a son, James Hamilton McClure. I saw there was a link with the Hamilton's in your post. Do you have any more information?
Thanks!
Emily
