McCLUER.
1. THOMAS MCCLUER, b. 1746, probably a son of William and a representative of the Londonderry family, came from Merrimack to Plymouth in the spring of 1768. He paid taxes in Plymouth from his arrival until his death. While taxed each year on his farm, he did not pay a poll-tax for the years 1775, 1776, 1777, and 1778. And there is reason for the supposition that he lived in Merrimack from 1774 to 1778, and that his service in the Revolution was performed from that town. On the rolls in two instances he is styled of Merrimack, and he also served in Capt. Bowers's company, which was peculiarly a Merrimack company.
He m. Jan. 5, 1788, Abigail Hobart, dau. of Benjamin Dearborn (see) and widow of Peter Hobart (see). He d. in Plymouth, 1794. No children. The widow m. third, Samuel Currier (see), and fourth, William George (see).
