The little information I have, if true, leaves a lot of unanswered questions. This is what I have: Robert (O'Reilly) Reily- Born: in County Cavan, Ireland. Came to America in 1764. Wife: Ann. Received 100 acres land- Bounty given by Act of Gen. Assembly passed 25 July, 1761, in Craven Co., S.C.. Leased land in 1764 to Matthew Neilson in St. Mark's Parish, Craven Co., South Carolina. Died 23 Nov. 1782, Camden District, South Carolina. Father of Samuel Reily (04 Mar. 1767 - 12 May 1822). Looking for any information in Ireland. Family. Name may have been spelled different. But a direct connection. Relatives that may have come to USA using a different name: Parents, brothers, sisters (maybe married), Uncles, etc. O'Reilly- O'Reily- Reilly- Rileigh- etc. Did he come to this country from Ireland or somewhere else? When did he come to USA? Did he land in South Carolina or somewhere else. What was Ann's maiden name? Where was she from? Where did they marry? Did they have more than one child? Location of last residence and is his grave site known? Then there is Samuel--- I have several accounts on him. There does not seem to be much information on the first two generations, of Reilys, in the USA, and no contacts or connection to where they came from. I run in to a dead end everywhere I look. Do you know of any web sites, books or contacts? If you can help please contact me. Thanks, Wain Reily Columbus, Mississippi
