"An old settler gone - In memory of Mrs. McClure, who died April 15, 1868, aged 86, at the residence of her son Wm. McClure, Esq., of Esquesing.
To the Editor of the Brampton Times.
Sir, - On Friday, 17th April, Mrs. McClure, one of the first settlers of Chinguacousy, was carried to the grave, amid the lamentation of three generations of her desendants. She was born in Antrim, Ireland, in 1782. Her first husband, Samuel McClure, died in 1818, leaving her a widow with seven children, the youngest only one year old. Her second husband, Thomas McClure - no relative to the first - died in 1827, just as he was starting with Mrs. McClure and her family for Canada. The widow, however, continued the journey, and arrived in Chinguacousy, where she settled during the autumn of the same year. Her eldest son was scarcely sixteen, and small for his age, but she struggled bravely, and with God's help, successfully, against all the difficulties usually attendant upon a residence in the wilderness. All her children are living, with the exception of Jane, her youngest daughter, who died during the spring of 1850. For the last five years of her life,Mrs. McClure resided with her son William, whose wife and family gave her all the care which her age required. James and Thomas McClure, brothers to her first husband, emigrated to Canada, and died near Churchville. James' widow died near Brampton, in the year 1866, aged 86. Thomas' widow is stillliving in Chinguacousy, aged 82.
