Notes on this Family : Not much is known of this Malcolm McNeill, almost as little known as that concerning his father, "Laird Archie" McNeill. Malcolm's 1805 estate settlement states he died with 2,295 acres. Information has been passed down in the McNeill family line from this couple that Malcolm married a woman named Mary who it was believed had been a McNeill, but her parentage was unknown. Since my research began on James McNeill of Rockfish Creek I've noticed that Malcolm and Mary's first five children—Barbara, Archibald, James, Daniel and Elizabeth—bear a remarkable resemblance to the names of what would be a complete list of their grandparents (and two uncles, both named Daniel) if James McNeill of Rockfish and his wife Elizabeth were taken into account as possible grandparents. Scottish naming patterns were still being used in the region at the time Malcolm's children were being born, and it should be noted that the ONLY adult James McNeill in the area at the time to have been a namesake for their second son was James of Rockfish.
    Barbara McNeill, below, married Alexander Johnson, and I would very much like to know what Johnson family he was from. Barbara's sister Margaret died in late 1821 and John B. Johnson, son of the Daniel Johnson, Esq. family near Godfrey McNeill on Raft Swamp, co-signed the bond for her estate settlement.
