    Notes:

    The birth dates of Thomas McClure and of his children were recorded in an 1805 New Testament, handed down through the McClure family. The same book recorded the birthdates of Thomas's son John McClure (known as 'Long John') and his children, of Thomas's grandson John McClure, his wife Jane Amelia Hunter, and their children.

    Recommendation, quoted in "The Clan McClure: Historical Highlights" by J. Brian Gilchrist, published by McClure Clan family Executive, 2009:
    "I certify that Thomas McClure was an Elder of the Presbyterian Church for the last twelve years and that he conducted himself agreeably to the solemn duties of that office, and that he and his wife were communicants, and tha his son Thomas and wife and daughter Jane were also communicants. And as they are now about to remove to America, I can safely recommend as sober, industrious and peaceful and honest, and I hope that they may enjoy the confidence and friendship of the Religious Community to which they may join." (signed) George McClelland, Minister, Presbyterian Church, Ahoghill, Ireland, May 16, 1827.

    The earliest Presbyterian baptism records for Ahoghill Parish, preserved in the Public Records Office of Northern Ireland, are from 1835. The earliest preserved Church of Ireland baptisms, marriages and burials are from 1811.

    The 1825 tithe applotment records for Ahoghill Parish [PRONI FIN/5/A/10] include two John McClures, and Thomas, James and William McClure in Cashelown townland, a James McClure in Dreen townland, Robert, Thomas, James and David McClure in Galgorm Parks townland, and Abraham and Thomas McClure in Kilcurry townland.

    According to the earliest McClure book, Thomas died on his first night in his brother's home, immediately after arriving in Canada in 1827. According to the 2009 book, by J.B. Gilchrist, he died just before the family emigrated to Canada. The 2009 book also mentions a family tradition that the family travelled via New York in the ship "Harbinger". There is a record of a ship called "Harbinger" arriving in Quebec on 18 July, 1827, having left Belfast on 23 May.
