Patrick McKaig Jr was married to Rachel Star but he was born in 1764. He was married to Margaret King first and they had 3 children. He then married Rachel Starr and they had 12 children. Patrick McKaig Sr. was married to a Margaret. He came over from Ireland/Scotland in 1759 with a brother and died at Lancaster PA in 1784. He had 8 children; Patrick Jr, John (my GGG-grandfather), William, Agnes, Catherine, Mary, Sarah and James. I have a copy of a letter from Mary Imogene McKaig Leonard - dau of Wilbur ->son of Silas ->son of John -> son of Patrick Sr. to her brother about the heritage of the family. In it she states 2 brothers came over from Scotland in 1759 - one to PA (Patrick Sr.) and one to MD. She mentions somecousins of her father's that they use to visit, one being Rev. Clement V. McKaig who is the son of Patrick Jr and Rachel. That is how I have tied my GGG Grandfather to Patrick Sr.
