He was a son of John and Lucy McClure originally from Jessamine County, Kentucky. (In early records the surname was sometimes spelled "McLure.")
In 1810 he married Polly (Mary) McComsey in Shelby County, Kentucky. In about 1831, along with his wife, children, parents, brother James, and brother-in-law Samuel Workman he removed to Morgan County, Illinois. In 1835 he made the first of two land purchases in McDonough County which gave him a total of 160 acres in section 22, Bethel township, McDonough County, Illinois. This cemetery lies on property that he once owned.
