John & Mary McEachin were my GGGG-grandparents. Mary was a Currie, and I am guessing she and John were both born in Kintyre, Argyllshire (I haven't found any records, just going on family stories). I've yet to determine whether they were married in Scotland or NC, I'm guessing it was shortly after they immigrated about 1765. They eventually settled in Robeson Co., on the east side of Drowning Creek which I believe in today in Hoke Co. > If anyone has further information about these early NC pioneers, please > consider sharing your information with me and other reseachers.

I have several family histories on my website at http://www.synthcom.com/~jdm/genealogy/genealogy.htm . See "The McEachins and McNeills of North Carolina" for more information on how these two families were intermarried. I also have a GEDCOM which is searchable, and I'd love to hear from any relatives. Could I get directions to the graveyard and the name of the owners? A cousin of mine was unable to find it last time he went looking for it. Thanks Jeffrey PS: I'm new to the list. Rex McLaurin was kind enough to forward me Myrtle's message, which alerted me to the list's existence.
