Paul,
 I see that you are researching Irish families in the Groveland and Mount Morris, NY areas. I am as well. I have been focusing on the Gamble, McNeilly, Gregg, Service, and King families, which came primarily from the Ballyeaston, County Antrim area. Several branches of these families came over together and there were many marriages amount the families in New York. If I can be of any assistance let me know,
Bill

Bill,
Thanks for contacting me through this forum.  Lately, I have been concentrating on finding
my grandfather's relatives who settled in Livingston Co., around the area of Mt. Morris.  My grandfather resided there for a while before moving first to San Rafael and then later to San Francisco.  I have located some living relations there, but they have not  responded as of yet.
When and if they do, I am sure that they can fill in numerous gaps for me as they were having Macauley reunions at least up until the 1930s.  The Fulton History site has been a great help thanks to its digitalized newspapers.  Thank you very much for your kind offer, though.  As you said, that area is full of people who emigrated from the towns of Glenwherry, Ballyeaston, and Ballyalbanagh.

For Billy Adair:   http://www.templehillcemetery.com/name.asp?ID=13

My relatives (Houston/Nevin) knew him & his relatives quite well.   They all came from Antrim to Livingston County, NY.

Hi, Sharon,
Thanks for your post.  Would it possible for you to give me additional information as
to what you know about this family.  The Adairs, Macauleys, Buchanans and Dodds who settled
in the Mt. Morris area of Livingston County, mostly all came from around the same area
of Co. Antrim and were seemingly related through marriage.  I look forward to your response.
Best wishes, Paul

I have information on the McCauley connection...

Elizabeth McCauley was the daughter of Robert McCauley and Elizabeth Service (1824-1909).  Elizabeth Service was the daughter of John Service and Sarah Gardner of Carlena, Antrim, Northern Ireland.  Elizabeth's brothers John, Samuel, and George (my 2nd great grand father) settled in Groveland and Geneseo.  Samuel moved west.  Elizabeth's brothers David (1851) and John (1855) also came to the Livingston County area...

Hope this helps...

R., many thanks for your additional input.  When I get some free time, I will be sending some letters off to some Macauley and Adair families living in that area to see if they if they know how the various Macauley families connect.  By the way, their is a huge Gardiner (Gardner) connection, if you are not already aware of it.  With best wishes from Osaka, Japan...Paul
