In the "History of Clearfield County Pennsylvania" edited by Lewis Cass Aldrich page 54 this was written.
Thomas McClure, afterward known as "Squire" McClure, came to the county from Cumberland in 1799. He made an improvement (near McClure's graveyard) but did not bring his family until 1800.
Squire McClure was one of the county commissioners at the time the contract for erecting the county buildings was made.
In his family were two sons and four daughters.
Squire McClure has been described as "a kind friend,
one of the most obliging neighbors, who would at any time incommode himself to accommodate another, and when asked for a favor, he stopped not to inquire
'what will it profit me,' but only 'can I grant it.'
He lived and died without an enemy.
Thomas McClure's gravestone is shown on page 24 of "Clearfield County: Or, Reminiscences of the past" by S. B. Row 1859 revised 2000
He is listed as a Revolutionary War Soldier
