Source McClung:
The third (probably the first) child of John and Rebecca Stuart McClung was born about 1738. He married abt 1766 to Abigail Dickinson (spelled Dickson in Rev. Wm McClung's work)In 1771: Matthew's Trading Post on the Greenbrier River records the following: rum, salt and gun powder sold to William McClung. 1774, rum sold to William McClung. 1776, interest on account.
In 1773 he emigrated with his wife and three children from Rockbridge Co., VA to the mouth of Big Clear Creek, near Rupert, WV. On account of the Indians, he soon moved to near Williamsburg, WV, where he resided three years to be near Ft. Donnally. He then returned to Big Clear Creek about 1776. He was the first settler on Meadow River (the area became known as McClung's Meadows and the river later became Meadow River). He took a tomahawk entry for a few thousand acres of land on that river and its tributaries. When he first raised his cabin, there was not a store or mill in many miles of his lonely habitation. The Indians were so troublesome that he plowed with his rifle tied to his shoulder, while his wife with her musket and three little children, took refuge in the dense swamp during the day, returning to the cabin only at night when he was there to defend them.
In partnership with Gen. Andrew Moore (his brother-in-law) and Alexander Welch, he patented a tract of land containing 43,000 acres lying between the Meadow river and the Gauley, in what is now Nicholas Co., WV. In 1782 William entered 230 acres on Slab Camp Creek including 100 acres of a military warrant, part of a survey made for William in 1776.
His descendants are very numerous in Greenbrier and Nicholas Counties. During his lifetime he frequently remarked that he could stand on his doorstep, blow his bugle and call two hundred of his descendants to breakfast. In his old age, he used to give hundred-acre tracts of land to his grandchildren for birthday presents.
He was very tall and handsome in appearance, a good conversationalist and a most esteemable citizen. He was a Presbyterian and donated two acres of land on Otter Creek, one mile west of Meadow Bluff, for the erection of a church. The church later came into the possession of the Baptists: The Amwell Baptist Church near Rupert being the outgrowth.
William was an elder in the Old Stone Church in Lewisburg, which he would travel 20 miles to attend. He also served in the Revolutionary War. The monument on his grave states: Virginia; ensign, Virginia Militia, Revolutionary War. In 1777 the Claims Record of Virginia, William turned in the following claim: "bacon sold to Capt. Arbuckle."

Researcher, Keith McClung, states that William's first cabin was located at a Pine Ridge, which is located off of the Tommy Hall Road, about one mile from Rupert. the cabin was marked by a large pine tree. The second cabin was located on the Denvin C. McClung farm, near a spring. The third two-story log house was located on top of a hill about two hundred yards away from the second cabin. These sites were pointed out to me by my grandfather, Denvin C. McClung.

Emmick Family History by Maude Emmick History
"Then Dad (Jacob) decided that farming was not for him, so he went to Evansville, where he took a business course, with the idea of buying and selling farm produce equipment. But in the mean time the family (Henry and Family) moved to Iowa, and Dad was persuaded to go along to help them get settled. He found it hard to break away, so even when he married he took Mother (Emma) to the farm in Iowa." about 1883"Edd was born there (Iowa, 1884), then Dad (Jacob) moved to Sioux City, Iowa, a thriving pioneer town. He became a plasterer and brick mason...I (Maud) was born there or just before the move was made. But Dad (Jacob) had itching feet, so when we children were babies (about 1885) he went to Virginia, bought land, which was part of the old Summer Hill Estate. It was on the Pamonkey River, about 20 miles up from Richmond. Mother (Emma) waited in Souix City while Dad (Jacob) built a house for us. Edd and I were both ill. I recovered quickly but Edd was left with a stiff leg. I suppose it was polio. He was quite lame until his early teens...Aunt Carrie and Uncle John Lee moved there too, soon after we got settled. "
"...and Old Aunt Karline, who took care of us when Mother (Emma) and Dad (Jacob) went out for the evening...Mother's sister, Mary spent a year with us. "
(about 1890s) "We stayed with relatives in West Virginia, while Dad (Jacob) got established in the Cattle business in Nebraska, in partner-ship with his Dad (Henry) his brother George and his cousin Charlie. The Amicks there resented the change in the spelling of our name, and accused us of putting on airs."
Nebraska, about 1897 "Grand Dad (Henry) wanted to give up the Big Creek ranch and go in with us. He had made an unfortunate second marriage. When Uncle George and Cousin Charlie Amick pulled out of the partnership, Grand Dad brought his wife and her grown sons out from Salix, Iowa to help him... They had a dreadful quarrel, parted, and the wife and her sons went back to Salix to live..."
about 1901 "The partnership with Grand Dad (Henry) threatened to ruin us, so the ranch was sold and we moved to Walla Walla. Mother got so sick that she spent most of the next two and one half years in the hospital. Edd and I were sent to boarding school in Milton, Oregon while dad (Jacob) batched at home...the following year mother died."
