It's a tricky issue. I have mentioned to the executors in my will that they are to ensure the ongoing safety of the data from my web site. Who knows what the Caora story is?

Although this was for the McKee surname - I can not think you enough for sending it. My Burnsides came from Co. Down and Co. Antrim and lived among the McKees in Beaver Co., PA. This new info is going to make my research in N. Ireland, when I get there in July, a whole lot easier. I am, if you don't mind, going to forward this to the Beaver Co. mailing list.

Hello to all on list, Is anyone researching the Carvel surname or of a similar sounding name. Regards, Norm

Just saw your email on the Mckee families in Beaver Co. Pa. While I'm not a Mckee nor am I related, however, from 1940 until I went into the Navy in 1944, I had a male High School teacher named Mckee and there were Mckee's living in my neightborhood. Thank you for reminding me of pleasant times in a world now long gone. Bob Holt, formerly of Beaver, Pennsylvania, now in Arizona **************Start the year off right.

Hello Ann Sorry, I haven't come across an Ethelinda so far in my research. I'm completely stuck with my 3rd great grandfather Edward Hamilton born around 1830 in County Down, possibly Killinchy but I'm not certain now. His wife was Mary Ann Alexander from Killinchy, baptised 8 Sep 1833 Killinchy Presby Church. They both emigrated before marrying in County Durham in 1855 and all of their children were also born in County Durham.

Hi Jane, What a lovely lot of interesting reading you have sent, I'm impressed and send you my sincere thanks for your kindness. Now I'm on a learning curve and have some study to get my head into. Many thanks, James. -----Original Message----- From: nir-down-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:nir-down-bounces@rootsweb.com]On Behalf Of Merseyside Sent: 21 January 2008 21:50 To: NIR-DOWN-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [NIR-DOWN] Burning of Hugh MC KEE and family CHAPTER 30 A FEARFUL FATE "No hope of help! No chance of flight! Better to die in open fight!" - OLD BALLAD. ONE MILE from Saintfield and about three hundred yards off the Lisburn Road stood the house occupied by Hugh McKee and his family. It was new, substantially built of blue stone, slated two storeys high, with windows in front and gable, but none in the rere. The foundation was partly cut out of the fade of a hill. McKee was a comfortable farmer; he and his family had received numerous prizes from the Linen Board for their success in cultivating flax and spinning yarn. Several old spinning wheels which they obtained as prizes are still to be seen in the neighbourhood, given by them as presents to their relatives. The household consisted of McKee, his wife, five sons - the youngest sixteen years of age - three daughters, grown-up women - as daring as the father and sons, and afraid of nothing; the whole family large, stout and robust, so much so that they were generally described by their neighbours as "a lot o' big, fat, course folk." There was also in the house a blind girl, aged about thirteen, who was a relative, and a servant named John Boles, McKee and his family were most unpopular. The father had made himself obnoxious by persecuting United Irishmen, and by his offensive ultra-loyalty. The family were in the habit of going out at night, challenging every one they met on the road, and firing shots, to the terror and indignation of people who passed their house. So great was the fear they thus inspired that many persons were in the habit of making a detour through the fields. One night a United Irishman, named Samuel Adams, was shot through the arm and side. Nelly McKee, a daughter of Hugh, seized a hatchet and attempted to hack off the man's head, remarking that "deid men tell nae tales!" Two Scotch soldiers who were in the house at the time prevented the perpetration of the deed................................. see Chapter 30 http://www.lisburn.com/books/betsey_gray/betsy-gray7.htm#INSURGENTS full book http://www.lisburn.com/books/betsey_gray/betsy-gray1.htm Other books on County Down on line a wealth of information http://www.lisburn.com/lisburn_books.html Enjoy Jane ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to NIR-DOWN-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message -- No virus found in this incoming message.
