Hi Steve. I know nothing about John McPherson. I only know of the marriage from a family bible that someone in Calloway Co Kentucky has (most of my Clark line still lives in the South Pleasant Grove area of Calloway Co). A Clark relative sent me copies of pages from Alexander Clark's Bible. To the best of my knowledge, Buffalo Presbyterian and Beaverdam are not the same church. The only McNeill's mentioned in the index of the book are the following -- Mayor Abner Landis McNeill Alexander Hamilton McNeill Beatrice McNeill Brothers McNeill of Fayetteville Duncan McNeill Flora McNeill Rev. George McNeill H. McNeill Hecton McNeill Capt James H. McNeill Deacon James L. McNeill Dr. John Norman MeNeill Rev. Malcom Daniel McNeill Mary Ann McNeill Mr. Deacon McNeill Neil McNeill Noah McNeill Roger McNeill William McNeill You can get a copy of the book from the author, James Vann Comer - I think if you do a search for Myrtle Bridge's genealogy website, there is a link there to check out Mr. Vann Comer's work, and I think an address on how to order the book. ~ Mary ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve E." <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, February 01, 2007 8:23 AM Subject: Re: [NCCUMBER] Shaw, McCraine, Thompson, Kelly, McIver, CLARK > Donnie and Mary, > > Do you know what John McPherson married the Flora Kelly?
