I really chuckle over the 7 gallons of whiskey - hope they had a good wake. I've also done some research on the "salt petre" caves in Bath County, which is very interesting.
Enough for now on the McGlaughlin-Cleek relationship. Will send more later.

There are two patents in Hampshire County on the South Branch of the Potomac dated 1788 [for Benjamin Reeves] & 1794, [for David Hunter] that refer to Daniel McGloughlin, but the Hampshire McGlaughlins seem to be an entirely different branch of the family so I haven't included them.

Nany McGlaughlin is Agnes "Nancy" Gwin McLaughlin Wiley. Her father was David Gwin and she was first married to Hugh McLaughlin who served in the Revolutionary War. He died in 1798. She bought property under the designation "the late Agness McLaughlin" and then I think as a Wiley, too, after she married James Wiley in 1810, but I could be wrong (I don't have my land records out right now). She had one daughter as far as I know with Hugh McLaughlin, a daughter named Jane who married a Kirkpatrick and moved to [Iowa]. She had more children with James Wiley, one of which was a daughter who married John McLaughlin's (who lived on Jackson River) son John. I don't know if you saw my website, but a novel I wrote that was published this year is about Hugh and Nancy, as well as about Daniel and a few other family members. It is fiction, though it is based on all of the research I have compiled.
Thank you for reminding me about where the name Rebecca came in at, I had completely forgotten about that will as I have misplaced the Bath County Will Book that I own. I wonder, which was her first name, if one was her middle name, or what? I assume that Ketty was a nickname for Katherine, but that's all I can figure.
Speaking of names, the one witness you have with the name of Prac (?) James, is Isaac James. That took me a little while to figure out, but I like clues like that, who's close enough to sign a bond, or be a witness or what have you.
Well, on to your next email.
