McClure Families of Fanad Peninsular
« on: Tuesday 09 February 21 23:03 GMT (UK) »
Hello troops look for researchers, interested parties and/or McClure descendants looking for connections on the Fanad Peninsular Donegal. Places like Glenvar, Ballyshannagh, Ramelton, Carran, Glenalla, Rooskey etc

Cheers

I am now working on the Ballynashannagh line. There is an argument for Arthur  McClure who came from Scotland and secured a land deed  about 1650 for 80 acres at Ballynashannagh. One of Arthurs sons had two sons John  and George McClure.bc.1750. We know that Georeg had at least two sons Robert bc.1770 and David bc.1775. There is speculation that these brothers married two sister Jane and Mary Davies [Davis?] circa 1799 in Raphoe Parish.
Cheers

Hi Jack

My gr gr grandmother was born Margaret McClure c 1816. She married John Hunter of Carmoney, Cranford just across the water from Fanad. I think she may have been of the Ballynashannagh family and wondered if you had any record of that?

Kind regards

Clive

Hi Clive,
thanks for the note.
I will check out my records and see if i can locate your Margaret McClure and John Hunter of Carmoney.
So we can exchange messages you need three posts. While i am looking can you give me any more background?
General stuff on your mob the hunters and any other known McClures in your heritage.

Cheers

Thanks Jack. Unfortunately I don’t know much more. The Hunters have lived at Carmoney a long time and intermarried frequently with families from Fanad.

I think the Dills of Fanad are also in the mix as there have been a number of Dill Hunters. Any information you may have much appreciated :)
