My ggggrandfather, John McWilliams b. abt.1763, his wife Mary and son, David b.1794 came to Amreica from Ireland between 1794 and 1800 when they appear on the census list in Kortright, Delaware county, NY. I am hoping to discover when they actually came and hopefully from where. I have been trying, for some time, to connect them to the McWilliams in Chester county , one of whom (Robert) and perhaps others migrated to Mercer county, PA as did some of the Kortright McWilliams. I would appreciate any advice or help you may have re: passenger lists and/or family connections. Are there others researching McWilliams in Chester Co.? Thank you. Linda lligo@zoominternet.net

The only thing I could find on the name Robert McWilliams was that it appeared on 2 company rosters. No real way to tell if these are 2 different fellas or 1 that changed companies. In 1814 the name appeared on the roster as a pvt in Capt. Christopher Wigton's Co, and a Sgt In the co. of James Wersler.
