Notes: Turquill McNeill immigrated with the Argyll Colony in 1739-40. His lands were located on Buffaloe Creek, Carver's Creek and on the Cape Fear River in Cumberland Co., and on Wilkinson Creek in Bladen Co. (now Robeson). He may have been a relative of James McNeill of Rockfish Creek, aka Jimmie McNeill of McCaskills. Turquill may have been buried at Philippi Church cemetery, known then as 'McCaskills'. Jonathan Butcher, genealogist of Raleigh, NC, deceased, claims Mary Bethune to have been Turquill's wife. This information comes from a letter written by Mrs. Evelyn Cliett to my mother, Dot Edgerton, in 1984, and Mrs. Cliett did not share Butcher's sources. There were Bethunes (Beaton) in the area where Turquill lived around Buffalo Creek.
