You may have this info already.I am also a descendant of Wm and Hannah.My great grandfather was Jacob.Wm was born about 1801 in Alindale, Northcumberlandshire.We have not been able to prove who his parents were.Wm & Hannah came to America in 1828 with 3 little boys and a 4th on the way.Hannah was born in Scotland and had a sister in NY by the name of Sarah Gillespy.Their parents were Wm McMillen and Hannah Sparks.I have Mary Jane's death as Sept 30, 1895.She & Joseph are both buried in Hope Cemetery, Corning NY.Joseph owned several boats on the Chemung Canal.He was a path-master.Later he owned a grocery store.He died June 1, 1912.
