William,
That was very interesting. I have wondered so many times about my grandmothers family but like you have found it difficult to trace.
I was told that William Riley McClurd/McClurg was killed in Lexington,N.C. at a hotel.As of yet I haven't found which hotel.I know that his wife married a Mr.Long & moved north after Isaac ran away to the Grandfather Mtn.area.There was a Mr.Long that ran a hotel in Lexington and I'm wondering if it's the same Mr.Long and the same hotel. The story goes that Isaac's step father was very mean to him and that's why he ran away and was taken in by the Clarks. I would like to find a story about the killing but I haven't so far.
Thanks for the information you have given me.
Anita
