HUSBAND |
James McNeill of Rockfish Creek |
Notes: Aka "Jimmie McNeill of McCaskills Creek. Was James McNeill of Rockfish a brother/relative of Turquill McNeill of the Argyll Colony? Bible records written in 1853 in possession of Mary Lou Huske reveal that James and Elizabeth McNeill were married in 1752 and had 12 children, and that Sarah was their first child and Daniel was their 7th son. James's will mentions only 2 (or 3) daughters and 3 sons by name in 1801, but Bladen tax list of 1786 shows James had 3 sons and 7 daughters, so one daughter may have died by1786 or was married and living elsewhere. |

| The following children are listed in an order based on bible information that James's and Elizabeth's first child was Sarah and their seventh child was Daniel. Further info from the 1786 Bladen County tax list shows James's household consisted of 7 daughters and 3 sons for that year. Margaret's birth year is known, 1764, which puts some ten years between Sarah and Margaret, room for some 4 children, mostly daughters. The bible info guesses that Daniel was born about 1767, which matches existing dates for his birth year. Hector's obit stated he was born about 1775. James Jr.'s birth is placed as a 3rd son owing to Scottish naming patterns of the day. Daughters whose names are not yet known are placed approximately 2 years apart to fill the years for which we have no birth dates. Flora McEachern witnessed James's will but is not listed as one of his daughters; however, a John McEachern is given 30 dollars, the same as "each of my daughters" and that is why I have listed her as a daughter. Anne's order of birth is guessed at. Since there were 7 daughters and 3 sons by 1786, I suspect their 12th child was a son, probably born after 1786. It is likely, however, that one or two children have died by 1786. | ||||
