I have been with this list since November and have only received a couple
postings from it. It is apparently not a very active list. Other lists I
subscribe to have a lot more action, 10 or more postings a day.
My Cahill is James CAHILL. born 27 JAN 1749 in Queen Anne Co, MD. His
father was James CAHILL, his mother was Rebecca ROE. He married Ellender
(LYONS?) ca 1768. He moved to Pennsylvania near the Philly area. James
was in the Rev. War and was in Valley Forge. He got a pension in his later
life.
He and his family moved to Mason Co Ky, and on across the Ohio river to
Clermont Co (now Brown Co), Ohio. in the early 1800's. He and Ellender
has at least 9 children. In Brown Co the spelling was changed from CAHILL
to CAHALL. The story is that his pension came in the name of Cahall and he
said damned if he was going to lose his pension for the want of one letter
difference. (Don't know if this is really true.)
He died 1851 at the age of 102, in Brown Co, Ohio.

I subscribed on Dec.3rd. and to date have not recieved any postings.
Is this because there have been none or am I not recieving them?
I don't know where else to enquire - so can anybody help?
Thanks,
Jacky.
