MamaG, have you accumulated any sizable unconnected/unrelated MAC lines in Am bef 1800ish? I descend from a Daniel McCAULEY that was from Ire and in the Shenandoah Valley of VA by 1760 and, in an effort to get him across the pond, am working on several early, unrelated lines in PA, MD, SC... Would love to exchange if you are interested. Best, Hal McCawley of San Francisco MamaGupnok@aol.com wrote: > Served in the Rev. War. Married to Isabel Jamison;b.1754 maybe in Amherst, NH.

Could you tell me what dates you are talking about? My husband has a great uncle Sanford married to Mary A. Chichester in MI around 1868 and a child is listed in a later census and her name is somewhat hard to read on the census, but we believe it to be Maude. She would've been born around 1870's. I don't have regular access to Ancestory.com so you will have to e-mail me at mccauley@gte.net to respond to me. Judy

Am interested in location of McCauley's Chapel. Possibly my family from Dade Co., Ga. migrated to or from Gadsden. If someone could give me directions to McCauley's Chapel, it would be appreciated. Sam McCauley

Census Taker It was the first day of census, and all through the land; The pollster was ready ... a black book in hand. He mounted his horse for a long dusty ride; His book and some quills were tucked close by his side. A long winding ride down a road barely there; Toward the smell of fresh bread wafting up through the air. The woman was tired, with lines on her face; And wisps of brown hair she tucked back into place. She gave him some water ... as they sat at the table; And she answered his questions ... the best she was able. He asked of her children ... Yes, she had quite a few; The oldest was twenty, the youngest not two. She held up a toddler with cheeks round and red; his sister, she whispered, was napping in bed. She noted each person who lived there with pride; And she felt the faint stirrings of the wee one inside. He noted the sex, the color, the age ... The marks from the quill soon filled up the page. At the number of children, she nodded her head; And saw her lips quiver for the three that were dead. The places of birth she "never forgot"; Was it Kansas? or Utah? or Oregon ... or not? They came from Scotland, of that she was clear; But she wasn't quite sure just how long they'd been here. They spoke of employment, of schooling and such; They could read some and write some ... though really not much. When the questions were answered, his job there was done; So he mounted his horse and he rode toward the sun. We can imagine his voice loud and clear; "May God Bless you all for another ten years." Now picture a time warp ... it's now you and me; As we search for the people on our family tree. We squint at the census and scroll down so slow; As we search for that entry from long, long ago. Could they only imagine on that long ago day; That the entries they made would effect us this way? If they knew, would they wonder at the yearning we feel; And the searching that makes them so increasingly real. We can hear if we listen the words they impart; Through their blood in our veins and their voice in our heart. Author Unknown

Hal, I have not been able to locate the census records for Kenosha County, Wisconsin. The information I have on this family came from obituraies and other secondary sources (ie. letters from relatives, etc) on this family. Below is the obituary quoted verbatim as it appeared. A note in the margin states that the wifes name was Mary Elizabeth rather than Mary Alice as found in this obit. Unfortunately, the person who cut this out of the newspaper, did not cut out the date or which paper it appeared in. "William McCauley was born at Kenosha, Wisconsin, October 7, 1855, and departed this life November 21, 1934 at the home of his daughter, Mrs Laura Ward in Chicago Heights, Illinois; age 79 years, 1 month and 14 days. "He was married to Mary Alice Cape at Three Oaks, Michigan, December 11, 1875. They resided in Chicago in their early married life. Mr. McCauley being a street car conductor in horse cart days. "They moved to Kansas in 1881, later immigrating to Medicine Lodge, returning to Holton in 1884, which has since been his home. "He was a mason contractor by trade and many buildings of Holton and vicinity are his monuments. "To this union were born eight children, four sons and four daughters. His wife and companion of almost fifty years and eldest son preceded him in death. "Children surviving him are; Mrs. Anna Heath, Vermillion, Kansas; Mrs. Margaret Cole, Mrs. Mayme Goodman, Mrs. Laura Ward, and Walter W. of Chicago Heights, Illinois; Mort of Holton, Kansas; and James A. of Mayetta. Also thirty grandchildren and eighteen great-grandchildren; two brothers, John and Thomas McCauley of Crandon, Wisconsin. "Funeral services were conducted at the Gabel and Porterfield Funeral Home in Holton Saturday afternoon by his old friend, M.G. Hamm. "He rests by the side of his companion in Holton's Silent City. "He was a builder and his works do abide as monuments."
