Just checking to see if anyone has any info on the McWhirter family in Maghera in the mid 1700s to the mid 1800s. Looking for the family of Samuel McWhirter, b. 1785 and Mary Ann McCune/McKeown b. 1789. His father MAY have been John. Samuel was a weaver and a member of the Seceder Church in New Wilmington, PA. He brought his family to America in 1822. Can't find the actual passenger list, but we do know he came down the St. Lawrence River to Erie, PA and then made his way south to Mercer County. The name is also spelled McQuirter, McQuarter, Mewhirter, McWhorter, etc. Amy McWhirter Hutton
