SURNAMES; Mc CLURE, DEWELL
I am seeking information on Frank/Franklin MC CLURE and his ancestors. I know his father was in Lake County as early as 1850 because he was present at the Bloody Island incident. He then went back to Greenfield, Mo. where Frank MCCLURE was born about 1856. The Quantrill raids during the Civil War caused him to free the one slave he owned, give his freed slave his farm, and return to California by sea. Frank MC CLURE, at least, settled in Upper Lake where he married Luella Dewell in 1888. They lived out their lives in Upper Lake and Luella is buried rhere. Frank MC CLURE is buried in Lake County or Mendocino County. I will happily respond to all contacts.
Thank you.

SURNAMES: EVANS
I have a lot of information on Luke Evans. Family letters
indicate that Luke was so ill after release from Andersonville that they
didn't think he would survive but it seems he lead a productive life, finally
settling in Lower Lake about 1873. During the years he had been
employed as a tin smith, Real Estate Agent and Insurance Agent.
He was also a Notary Public and had been Secretary of a Masonic Lodge.
In 1892 he was 46 years old, living in Lower
Lake and occupation was that of Deputy US Mineral Surveyor.
In 1908 he was 62 years old, requesting a pension of $12.00 per month.
He was still living in Lower Lake in 1915.
I'd like to know the name of his wife. He married, April 29, 1875, Lower Lake, CA by J.N. Borroughs, Baptist Minister. Wife died March 29, 1887.
We plan to donate the family letters but would like to complete as
much research as possible before doing so. We feel people won't take
time to read them and so we are in the process of transcribing them first.
Your assistance would be greatly appreciated. Roberta

Maxine Barnes. I believe they lived in Lower Lake, CA but am unsure.
Their daughter was born at Lakeside Hospital April 1, 1963. Daughter
was adopted out because she wasn't a boy. (Apparently he had several
daughters). The next older daughter was about 9 years old when the
April 1, 1963 baby came along. I have been told that William died
about 2 years after the birth of the baby due to prostate cancer, but am
unsure of the details. The pregnancy was kept secret from most people
in the community.
