Hello Lists, I noticed that in a message that I wrote about the relatives of Katy John McClung, I made a remark, which has certainly got me tearing through the books, trying to figure out what I was thinking. :-) I said " William's brother was Alexander McClung and Rebecca Cavendish." The information I gave about Alexander and his WIFE Rebecca Cavendish was accurate and from the text. :-) However, I have no idea at this moment, why I would make a statement that Katy John's father, William was a brother of Alexander. Unless I am awful confused [possible], that is not the case. I think that I saw in the McClung book, that both were of the fourth generation, but did not realize that just because they were both fourth generation, they are not brothers. :-) I know better, but guess I got a little rummy. I am typing fast as I can, these days, while I have time to do it, before the next crises hits, or it becomes time to do the newsletter etc. Anyway, I do know that Alexander, husband of Rebecca Cavendish was the son of William McCLung b. 1736, who was known as Grandfather Billie. Someone was nice enough to send me an outline of Grandfather Billie and fill in, in easier form how Alexander relates to this William.[Not Katy John's Father] The McClung book states that Grandfather Billie [William McClung's] wife was Abigail Dickson, However; I also learned that her name was most likely Abigail Carpenter Dickson/Dickinson. Does anyone have an update on that name? Someone said that Carpenter or Dickson/Dickinson could have been a previously married name.
