Hi Billie, Thank you for the information. My SHAW ancestors were in Cumberland Co., NC before 1750 as evidenced by the Estate papers following the death of John SHAW. Three brothers, John, Duncan and Dushee SHAW migrated from Jura, I believe. It is most likely that their father was Neil SHAW. Duncan had no children. There were descendents from John and Dushee (my ancestor). I'm sure the McCraney listed in the 1850 Haywood Co. TN household census for Malcom SHAW was a family relative. I just can't prove it. I have seen many records of Colin SHAW, and, since they all came from Jura, our SHAW families are probably related.

Hi Lois, It's interesting to read that John and Sophia ATKINS DRAKE moved to Haywood Co., TN. Can you approximate a date? My ancestor, Malcom SHAW moved his family from Cumberland Co., NC to Haywood Co., TN about 1835. I wonder how many Cumberland families migrated to that part of Tennessee.

Gilbert, Have I asked you if you are connected to Louis Hamilton Ray b. 1808? He married Mary "Polly" Moses and they moved from S.C. to Mississippi and their children were: John, Nathan, Nancy, Elizabeth (my ancestor who married John Robuck then my line..John Mason) Rebecca, Nathan, Francisco. Elizabeth and her sister Rebecca married brothers Elizabeth who married my John Mason and Rebecca married Daniel Mason. They must have been great friends, the men were in the same Itawamba Ms. Masonic Lodge, moved to Alabama together where John died and Elizabeth continued to live next door to Daniel and Rebecca, their sister Elizabeth Mason was also living with them in Alabama. John was my GrGrGranddad.

How do you get the DNA done?

Annette, and Steve, There must have been several Scots families that migrated from VA to NC, also the Scots Irish, as I am just finding in the past two years after having my sons DNA done that he matches a man marker for marker who's ancestry comes out of Spotsylvania Co VA originally from Ireland in the 1600 + where it was thought though not documented that the ancestry was straight from Scotland at a later date of 1747 arriving in Wake CO NC by 1750 this family arriving in NC at this time was a Charles Stewart, B:- abt 1718-1725 and wife Hannah Kirk, B:- 1732, I would love to know more on this migration Thank you Joyce Stewart

"The federal and local records covered by this legislation are not only of personal importance to the families involved," Lantos said in a speech on the House floor. "They are also historically significant to us all. They document the reuniting of our nation and the historic moment of transition for slaves from the status of property to citizens, a time when our country finally began to right a horrible moral wrong. We need to take the process another step now, by ensuring that those records and the lessons they hold are preserved for all eternity."

Steve - Do I have a website for you! Before he passed away, Glenn McGugan, descendant of John and Margaret McNeill McGugan of Robeson Co., spent many months researching McNeills in that region of North Carolina. I was one of his contributors. He was an excellent and precise researcher. Glenn and I were cousins through the McGugans. He was a striking Scot when dressed in full Scottish regalia! The link to his research of Neill McNeills is: http://awtc.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi If you have a problem with the link, let me know. I believe I also saw Roderick's home in Hoke Co.

Hi Steve - My information is from a variety of sources - Tombstones, IGI, OPR, Census, Marriage Bonds, Periodicals, Wills, Original Documents, etc., and a cousin who lives in Raeford whose mother researched the family, including going to Scotland and whose brothers live in the original McNeill home place. I search for verification and don't enter anything in my database that I can't verify, unless I insert a note to that effect, but am not always faithful in recording my sources - I know, not a good thing. That said, here is what I have: Isabella McNeill chr 1815-1866 marr 1843 Archibald P McNeill 1800-1875 She was his second wife, #1 was Catherine Culbreath (6 children) Margrate McNeill chr 1817-1855 marr 1852 Neill Galbreath (Culbreath) b ca 1812-15, d ? *Roderick D McNeill 1820-1866 marr 1848 Isabella G McLaughlin 1828-1897 John Duncan McNeill ca 1822-1891 marr 1854 Mary Walker 1833-1912 (my ggp) Jannet McNeill (twin of JD) ca 1822-1880 marr 1849 Malcom Black 1818-1888 Anna McNeill 1826-1905 never married, she always lived in the old home place All McNeill children, except Jannet, buried McCaskill Cem, Philippi Presby Ch, Raeford. Jannet died in Texas and was buried there. William Humphrey Grigg, retired CEO of Duke Power Co, Charlotte NC is a cousin, descended from the line of Roderick D, Archibald Scott. Jean McNeill Ray Harris is another cousin & descended from Roderick D through Neill Alexander. *Children of Roderick D & Isabella McLaughlin McNeill: Archibald Scott McNeill 1850-1893 marr Mary Wilkerson Leach 1850-1893 Sarah D McNeill 1851-1912 Neill Alexander McNeill 1855-1913 marr Catherine Ann Baxter 1877-1958 Margaret J McNeill 1857-1921 Carrie Isabelle McNeill ca 1859-1931 Mary Alice McNeill ca 1862-1919 (committed suicide) Catherine McNeill ca 1864-1917 John Roderick McNeill 1867-1940 All of Roderick D's children are buried in Bethel Presby Church Cemetery, Hoke Co If this is your best friend's Roderick, please let me know who he is. As you can see, I have no spouses for above children except the ones who have descendants that I have met. I'd like to have more information on the McNeills who married into this family, if you have it. Margaret (Margrate) McNeill, who marr Neill Galbreath, had one son, Angus Galbreath.
