David, Yes, I have been in contact with Dr. Jim Hannum in the past and he has been gracious in sharing what info he has. Dr. James "Jim" Hannum Olympia, Washington, USA hannum.j@ghc.org It seems that our brickwall is with William McAfee (or McDuffee) Sr. b. 1777 who m. Margaret "Martha" Taggart b. 1780 in Co. Antrim in 1802. It would seem that William Sr. must be from these same McAfee/McDuffee families of Ballymagarry and West Park in Co. Antrim and probably across the line in Co. Derry in the Carnglass/Lisnisk/Ballyrashane area. The source of much of the info that Dr. Hannum and I have is a book written by Ralph A. Benton titled "the McAfee Family 1782-1982. Dr. Hannum has visited Northern Ireland in the area where our ancestors came Dunluce Parish, Co. Antrim. The oldest ancestor listed in the above book is our William McAfee (or McDuffee) Sr. Jean Macaulay is another McAfee descendant who has done some research on her McAfee line of West Park, Dunluce Parish, Co. Antrim. She has also been gracious in sharing what info she has. She lives in the area {lives about one mile from Ballybogey} jeanmacaulay@coleraine34freeserve.co.uk http://www.free0025306.free4all.co.uk/members.html Jean descends from James McAfee b. abt. 1770 through his son, {James McAfee b. 1801 who married Margaret McCurdy and who also married Catherine A. Todd}. There is also a Margaret Carey who has researched some of the same family as Jean Macaulay. Margaret (McFall) Carey <mmcarey@cisco.com> work <margaretcarey@mediaone.net> home I descend from William McAfee (or McDuffee) Sr. b. 1777 and Margaret "Martha" Taggart's son, Mathew McAfee b. 1823 Co. Antrim who later married Margaret McElhinney in Wayne Co, Ohio, USA in 1849. I descend through Mathew's son, Mathew Porter McAfee b. 1858, who married Eliza Belle Garner in Marion Co, Missouri, USA in 1884. Then through Mathew Porter's son, Charles Thomas Mahlon McAfee b. 1899 in Marion Co, Missouri. Is Giles Carter working on the same McAfee / McDuffee families in Co. Antrim / Co. Derry, Northern Ireland? How can we obtain copies of Giles Carter and your research on the McAfee / McDuffee families? my website: http://www.my-ged.com/jmcafee
