Joseph McClung was born on the 27th day of February, 1804, on Sinking Creek, Greenbrier County, Virginia where he lived until eight years old. Then he came with his father's family to Cherry Tree Bottom on Cherry River, then a wilderness with no settlers in that part of the county, where the family endured four years of hardships and privations. From there the family moved to Philips Run on the land where Anthony McClung now lives. Joseph and Anthony spent much of their early lives in hunting and trapping resulting in great good to the country and profit to themselves. The family consisted of six children, of whom all are dead save Anthony the younger brother and Delia (Mrs. Cree, who lives in Greenbrier County.) Truly, they were a pioneer family.-- They were first in enterprise and advancement and in the cultivation and improvement of the country.
Joseph married Elizabeth Woods early in life and moved to where he lived and died. Their union was blessed with four sons and six daughters, of whom six live in the Christian's faith to follow a pious father and mother--He lived to see all of his children married and comfortably started in life. He helped to build Armstrong Chapel on Muddlety, the first church in this part of the county, of which he was a faithful member of more than forty years. He died in full consciousness, and in the complete triumphs of an unswerving faith. He has passed through the gates of death unto life eternal. He last word was "gone" pointing toward heaven. . .
He died at his son Samuel's on Philip's Run.
