I am researching the McCaig family. I found them in
Humphreys county, then moving to Perry County and
my line went on to Arkansas about 1847.
My line is Samuel McCaig b. 1785 in Ireland who
married Elizabeth Leslie/Lesley dau of John Leslie
and Jane McElwee.
My mystery and a big mixup it seems, is their son
William B. McCaig who married Clara.
He was born ca 1813, a year after Samuel and Elizabeth
married in Humphreys Co. In the 1850 Conway Co AR census
it lists William B. McCaig 38 tn and wife Clary 37 tn with daughters Martha 4 tn and Jane 2 ar. Also listed is
Caroline 24 tn (sister????)
HOWEVER, in the 1850 HENDERSON CO TN census is also a
William B. McCag, 43 tn with wife Winney (Potter) 40 tn and their children Jacob B., Samuel, James S., Mary, Susan, Aaron R., Martha, Wm., Nancy, and all were b. tn.
Also listed is Mary McCag 84 Tn...(mother of William B maybe??)
I have noticed that several people have posted family
trees on various sites listing the William B. McCag (wife
Winney) as the son of my Samuel McCaig. I do not
believe that to be correct. I know that Aaron Riley
McCaig was a prominent citizen and was written about
in a couple of books and is buried in Gibson County.
Can anyone clear up his lineage for me?
My dilemna is that my Samuel was married lst to a
woman named Esther who had Jacob Samuel McCaig in
1805, then she died that year. He didn't marry
Elizabeth until 1812. They had William B. in 1813
or so. This William is found in Arkansas in 1850
along with his sisters Jane and Mary and their
husbands, his brother Nathan, and his mother Elizabeth.
They all settled in the same area and went together to
Arkansas from Perry County TN.
I believe my Samuel came to America with brothers
(William and Jacob, I think) and that they probably
named their sons the same names, thus the mixup.
Can anyone help me with this line?????
