    WILLIAM McCLURE.—He was born in Harford county, Maryland, December 30, 1808.
He was raised as a farmer; and when twenty-one years of age, became connected
with the well-known firm of J. C. Walker & Co., clothiers, of Baltimore, and was
about three years in their employ at their branch house in Louisville, Kentucky,
eighteen months at Vicksburg, and something over two years at Nashville,
Tennessee. In 1836, he went into the clothing business for himself at Nashville.
In 1850, he sold out, came to California, and went to mining at Long bar, on the
Yuba. After a short time there, he went to Sierra county, where he remained
until 1871, when he came to Butte county. Mr. McClure has resided at Dogtown
since 1875.
