Hi Ellen, We are interested in any McCauleys that came from the Antrim area of Ireland during that time period. The ancestors we have are William and Matthew McCauley who came to the states in the 1700's. They settled in Orange County, North Carolina. We recently obtained a copy of a clipping that states that there were three brothers that came together. Would you happen to have the siblings for your John? The name of John is quite common in our family.. Appreciate any input you may have. Nora
