• Notes

  Lafayette McClure was a deaf mute according to family members and the 1880 census of Fayette Co., TX. According to his grandson, Lafayette would sit and read the paper in the evening hours. When the kids got too rowdy,Lafayette would rattle the paper and the children would settle down. Family stories have it that Lafayette was a watch repairman by trade. He was also against his daughters marriage to Dalton Allen, so much so that when she died there were still bitter feelings between the two families. Fannie's son B. Nonie and his two brothers didn't have any contact with the McCLure line after her death. Dalton saw to it that there was no contact. Fannie's mother was alive until the mid 50's and her grandchildren, grown by this time, didn't know who she was, and that she was alive.
