Down / Re: Emigration - Samuel McCune 1850's

I had seen the Tithe listing in my research. I was thinking the two McCunes from Ravara in 1833 were likely brothers.  The James McCune I believe is my ancestor.  I have a tree also for the William McCune, and met one of his descendants in Ballygowan a few years ago.  I have also found their wills from the Proni site.

Which census info pointed you to 1857 for Samuel's immigration to Michigan?  From a letter held by a descendant of Abbie (McCune) Bennett, I surmised that Samuel's father was James McCune, from Ravara, Ballygowan, County Down Ireland.  I have posted a copy of James McCune's will from PRONI, which also references his son Samuel, and Samuel's son James. 
I am a descendant of Samuel's son David McCune.

Down / Re: Seeking info on Isabella McCune, Ballygowan

Wuz - I have a bunch of info on Ancestry.  If you send me your email, I will send you an invite to view what I have.  I have also corresponded with Sharon.

I visited Ireland a few years ago, went to the Ballygowan cemetery, and also met a McCune descendant still living in the area.  I believe her ancestor was the brother to your David McCune's father.  Do you still live in Ireland?

I recently downloaded a copy of the handwritten will of James McCune, who died 27 April 1863.  I believe he is the father of my ancestor, Samuel McCune.  In the will, he names the following children:John, James, Samuel and Samuel's son James (my ancestor), Mary, Elizabeth, and David. 

All of these except Elizabeth tie in to the letter.  I am thinking that perhaps Elizabeth was called Bella by the family?  She was the youngest.

Thank you. 

Was there any other info listed for James McCune, such as occupation or domicile?

There are so many John McCunes in Down, I am trying to identify the correct ancestor.   I have gotten feedback from others researching the McCunes, and want to make sure I am not mixing them up.

I am pretty sure it is the John McCune that married Ann Simpson, as they were married in the Ballygowan Presbyterian church, which matches the other McCunes in my line.

Down / Emigration - Samuel McCune 1850's
« on: Sunday 18 July 10 20:48 BST (UK)  »
I am looking for any information to support the emigration of Samuel McCune (b. 3 May 1834, Down Ireland) from Ireland to Canada.

The family story is that he emigrated to Canada around 1855, to elope with Eliza McKee, and they were supposedly married 5 Sep 1855 in Canada. 

I have been unable to find any records to support this.

Also, he and Eliza emigrated from Canada to Michigan prior to 1860, but I have been unable to find any records to support this also.
