I wonder if there are any descendants of William Caughey, Weaver, of
Scotland, born 1703, died 28 Jan 1748 on the list?
I would like to know who he married and where they are buried.
William had three children: James, Samuel, and William. I believe Samuel
was born in Braidstone, Scotland.
Samuel married ... Johnston. He died at Greyabbey, Co. Down, age 96
years.
Samuel (96), had four children: James, Samuel, William and David.
I understand that Samuel and his four sons emigrated to Brunswick,
Canada in 1830, through St. John. I do not know if his wife went with
them. Samuel, and his son, David, returned to Ireland about 1845, two
years before the Irish Famine of 1847.
The two sons who remained in Canada, James and Samuel, settled in the
Perth, New Brunswick area. William died about 1845.
I understand that Roland Van Dyne (adevan(a)eworld.com) is a descendant.
