I checked the LDS website on familysearch.org. The information in their data base does report that Jane Roney Holmes, grandparent to William Holmes McGuffey, was the sister to Sarah Roney Milligan, wife of William Milligan of Finley Township, Washington County, PA. In addition, they had a brother by the name of Hercules Roney who lived in Finley Township and died in 1812. Hercules Roney Sr. and his wife Elizabeth also immigrated to Finley township where they died after May 1791. The Roney family may have been from County Donegal in Ireland, but this is not clear from the LDS data.
