addition to other family members in those days if the home were large =
enough: Nancy Burnside, 22, born Ireland. William McNeil, 19, born =
Ireland: occupation: Mule Skinner (a teamster (a driver of sorts)). Mary =

  Thanks Troy
  How amazing though, that my great great grandfather John McNeill b =
1795 (son of Daniel and Betty) married a Sarah Roxburgh, his sister =
Betty married a James Roseberry, and his brother Daniel married a Molly =
Roseberry.
  My great grandfather Richard has Roxburgh as his middle name.

  John McNeill was noted by my father to have "lived 18 years in =
Crevalea, (one of the Aghadowey townlands) and landed in Boston Mass. on =
6th June 1852. He personally knew Archibald Campbell and was married in =
John Brown's Presbyterian Church, Aghadowey"

  I have so far not managed to trace him or any of his family in the =
USA, though I have (I think) all of my Scottish relatives. Richard =
Roxburgh McNeill married a Sarah Brisbane and moved to Lanark to the =
Coal fields in 1851.

  Cheers
