Charles Mcclung; B THE McCLUNG GENEALOGY. A Genealogical and Biographical Record of the ~IcClung Family from the 'fime of their Emigra- tion to the Year 1904. Bv REV. WILLIAM McCLUNG. PITTSBURGH, p A. McCLUNG PB.Il'."'TING COMPANY. 1904. •• COPYRIGHT 1904.. BY WILLIAM MCCLUNG. PREFACE. Fifteen years ago I began to search for the descendants of my father's eldest uncle-]ames McClung. I searched eight years and a half before I succeeded in finding them. While searching for these, however, I discovered several hun­ dred other M'cClungs, of whom I had never heard before. At first I had no thought of publishing the results of my research, but as time passed and the genealogical data began to accu­ mulate, the necessity for preserving it in a more permanent form and giving it a wider circulation became apparent. The record will be found to la.ck uniformity, owing to the fact that my system of registration was not complete when the work began, but developed as the work proceeded. The rec­ ord begins ,~lith the earliest known ancestor and traces the descendants of his eldest son down to date, then traces the descendants of the second son and then the third, and so on to the youngest. _Two numbers!' separated by a hyphen, precede each name. The first number represents the number of the child in the. family. The .second number represents the generation to which he belongs. The volume contains a record of nine gen­ erations, including the names of about 3,500 M.cClungs, ex­ clusive of those who have acquired the name by marriage into the family. The length of the biographical sketches does not repre­ sent the relative merit of the individuals. l\tiany w 1ho deserve extensive 1n-ention do ne,t receive it because either they or their kindred have neglected my repeated requests for infor­ n1ation concerning them. No attempt has been made either to flatter or to slander any one. The names of the varions branches are chosen arbitrarily. They are neither inclusive nor exclusive. For example, the Pittsburgh branch does not include all the McClungs who live in Pittsburgh. On the other hand, s01ne who belong to the Pittsburgh branch do not live in Pittsburgh or even in the State of Pennsylvania. Again, the Texas branch constitutes but a very small proportion of those bearing the name Mc­ Clung who live in Texas. It is quite probable that the South Carolina, Georgia, 4 MCCLUNG GENEALOGY. ..A.Iabama, Tennessee and 1.~exas branches are closely related. It is also probable that the Toronto, Buffalo, Canada, Michi­ gan and Erie branches are related. However, in the absence of positive proof of their relationship, they are classified under separate heads. Abbreviations: b.-born ; d.-died; m.-married; dau.­ daughter; ,vid.-wido,v. Other abbreviations are only such as are 1n common us:e. Let us now ind1cate the method of tracing a lineage ac­ cording to the system used in this volume. On page 57, line 42, you will find the name 1~helma McClung. I-Ier number ts 1-9, which indicates that she is the first child in her father's family and that she belongs to the 9th generation. To find the name of her father, trace ba.ckvvard to -the first per?on p·reviously recorded be!onging to the 8'1:h generation. This we find three lines ~hove to be 1-8 Hugh Mitchell lVIcClung. To find her grandfather, trace back to the first person of the 7th generation. This we find on the same page to be 1-7 James Co,van l\1cClung. To find her great-grandfather, trace back to the first per~on , belonging to the 6th generation. This we find to be ~-6 James Harvey lV[cClung, recorded on page 57, line 23. To find her great-great-grandfather, trace back to the first person belonging to the 5th generation. This we find to be 2-5 Patrick l\I c1Clu11g, recorded on page 54, line 9. To find her great-great-great-grandfather, trace back to the first person of the 4th generation. This we find to be 6-4 Willia1n lvf.cClung, recorded on page 47, line 41. Her next earlier ancestor is 7-3 James McClung, page 43, line 37. Her next earlier ancestor is 2-2 William :NicClung, page 18, line 29. Her next earlier ancestor is I-I Jam.es lVIcClung, page. 9, 1. 1ne • I. Great care has been taken to make the record accurate; nevertheless a number of errors have been discovered. Doubtless 1nany more will yet be discovered. Where quota­ tions conta1n errors in spelling, the errors are quoted inten­ tionally. Friends will confer a favor upon the author if they ,vill kindly inform hi1n of any errors they may discover. I offer to s-erve as repositor of future records of the fam­ ily. I acknowledge my obligation to all who have furnished me ,vith genealogical data for this re.cord. To lVIr. Horace .l\. l\f cClung, the proprietor of the 1'Ic­ Clung Printing Company, of Pittsburgh, through whose gen­ erous co-operation the publication of this volume was made possible, I tender my_ gratitude. WILLIAM MCCLUNG.· Philadelphia, Pa., September I, 1904. IN'l1.RODUCTION. The l\1cClung family is of Scotch-Irish descent. The history of this , race begins in the time of Agricola, the Roman general, who, when he had conquered all the present territory of England and carried his victorious ban­ ners north to the Grampian hills of Scotland, found there a foe who could effectually resist his further advance, and com­ pel him to acknowledge them an unconquered, and unconquer­ able race. Their early glory came in the days of Wallace and Bruce, when they won their independence from the English Crown. Their highest ideal of freedom was realized in the days of John Knox, when they bid defiance to tyrants and vindicated their belief that Kings and Queens were amenabh:! to law, and could not enslave and oppress their subjects with impunity. The Scotch-Irishman is of composite raGe whose basis is the Romanized Briton, from whence he gets his Celtic blood. Occasional intermarriages with the Picts, Angles, Danes and Norse, introduced a tinge of Saxon and Teutonic blood. At a later date the race v.ras slightly modified by the Norman invasion. Long before the emigration to Ireland began, these racial characteristics had thoroughly blended in one composite ·,vhole, which formed the racial basis for the Scotch-Irish-American of the present day. Some have made the grievous mistake of supposing the term Scotch-Irish to mean the blending of the Scotch and Irish ·races. As a matter of fact no such blending of these races has ever occurred to any great extent, at least in modern times. l\1utual antipathies resulting from conflicting re­ ligious beliefs served as an cffective barrier against su.ch a racial amalgamation. The native Irish are zealous Roman Catholics. The Scotch are equally zealous Protestants. It was on account of religious intolerance and persecution that the latter left their bonny heath. Hovv could anyone suppose that they could so soon forget their former woes and wed the very cause of their complaints? The term Scotch-Irish im­ plies the temporary residence of a Scotchman in the Emerald Isle. The true Scotch-Irish have not a drop of Irish blood flowing in their veins. They are pure, unadulterated Scotch. This, then, is the race from whence our fathers sprung. The memory of their heroic faith and deeds is our im·mortal leg- 6 MCCLUNG GENEALOGY. acy. Their deeds have been recorded by the wizard pen of Scott; their joys and sorrows sung by "Bobby Burn3." RACIAL CHARACT·ERISTICS. It is deemed appropriate to here enumerate some of the qualities that especially characterize the Scotch-Irish. They are preeminently a liberty-loving race. The sense of equity and fairness is in them developed to a remarkable degree; and when thi.s sense is horrified by evidences of· ruthless oppres-. sion, they instinctively throw down the challenge to the op­ pressor. Their love of liberty is attested by the blood of Scots­ men shed on more than two hundred battlefields. In Amer­ ica, the· Scotch-Irish were the first to raise the cry for Amer­ ican Independence; and when the crisis came they were among the first to shoulder the musket and rally to the stand­ ard of the patriots. Hovte, in his Historical Collections, says of the Scotch-Irish of the Valley of Virginia: "They were among the bravest and most effective militia when called into the field. General Washington signified his opinion of them when in the darkest day of the Revolutionary stntggle, he expressed his confidence that if all other resources should fail, he n1ight yet repair with a single standard to West Aug..:. us.ta and there rally ·a band of patriots who could meet the enemy at the Blue Ridge and there establish the boundary of a free empire in the west. This saying of the father of his country has been variously reported; but we have no reason to doubt that he did in some form declare his belief that in the last resort, he could yet gather a force in w.estern Vir­ ginia which the victorious arinies of Great Britain could not subdue. The spirit of these ·sires still reigns in their descend­ ants as the day of trial, ~ome when it may, vvill prove." Another characteristic is their boldness and love of ad­ venture. King James recognized this quality in the Scotch when he sought to reestablish the depopulated province of Ulster at the close of the Tyrone Rebellion.
