Wain: It sounds as if your Reily may have been an immigrant from Ireland and received land from the Colonial government. Have you checked the petitions, grants, surveys for your man in the Colonial Land Grants and also book of petitions which many times name the ship the immigrant arrived on in SC. There was a push to get Irish immigrants to SC and your man may just be one of them. Good Luck on your search. Tree Mother "She is insane, of course. The family history has bcome a mania for her."

Car in 1764. His wife was Ann. They had at least one son, Samuel. He married Martha N. McDonald. Robert died in So. Car., I guess Ann did also. Samuel moved to Wilkinson County Mississippi. Some of his children lived in East Feliciana Parish Louisiana. The migration moved to No. Louisiana. I was born in Morehouse Parish. I am trying to trace back on Robert Reily. I can help anyone going forwared, but I can not find out anything before 1764. If you can help or interested in after 1764 I wish you would contact me. > thanks > Wain Reily > [email protected] > > > ==== SCROOTS Mailing List ==== > SCRoots Forum > http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~scroots/ > > ============================== > Gain access to over two billion names including the new Immigration > Collection with an Ancestry.com free trial.
