Image of David R. McLaughlin's Calling Card


David R. McLaughlin was born on June 8, 1853, son of John and Francis McLaughlin of Montgomery Township, Franklin County, Pennsylvania. They lived at or around the village of Claylick, which is by the town of Mercersburg.

David moved out west and set up residence in Lee County, Paw Paw Illinois. He returned to Pennsylvania to marry Ella E. Drury and returned to Illinois with Ella.

David and Ella were married on March 17, 1891 at Claylick, Pennsylvania. She was born on August 9, 1862, the daughter of William Drury, Jr. and Anna Hawbaker.

David is known to have had two children, Rubin McLaughlin and Annie Belle McLaughlin. It has been said that David and Ella also had twins that died young or at birth.

They can be found in the 1900 through 1930 census for Paw Paw, Illinois. He was the enumerator in the 1920 census for this town. In the 1920 census it appears that Annie Belle married LeRoy Hutchinson and had sons, Leon, Leo (twins) and Kenneth. Leroy was listed as a garage mechanic for his occupation.

In 1930 Annie Belle and LeRoy Hutchinson can be found in Illinois, Bureau County, Ohio Township. LeRoy is now listed as a farmer and they have children, Leo, Leon (twins), Kenneth, Elaine and James.

I have found reference to Rubin in a couple newspapers of the time, he was known as Rube.

David died on January 12, 1931, and Ella died 9 years later on March 13, 1940

David married into one of my ancestral lines and I am looking for more information on this family.

Also I have several photograhs of the David, Ella, Annie Belle and Rubin.

If you have any more information on David, Ella, their children Ruben and Annie, their ancestors or their descendants, or just want to discuss this family with me please email me.
