I have extensive information on the McVeas that emigrated to the US - primarily Chicago, IL and Michigan. Would that be any relatives of yours? Some were from Belfast, Kircubbin, and I believe Rubane. James McVea (born around 1794) married Mary Warnock on November 27,, 1818. Their children were: William, James, Thomas, Rachel, John, Samuel, Charles, and Mary Jane. These were the McVeas that emigrated to the US around 1851. Let me know if you think there is a connection.
