Hello,

Does anybody know about the Scottish family of Robert McNeill b. 1798 in Scotland who eventually lived in Masstown, Nova Scotia? He married Mary Crowe daughter of Thomas Crowe, Sr. and Sarah Barnhill. Mary Crowe was married previously to Robert Noble Berry. Amelia Faulkners mother was a sister of Robert N. Berry.

Robert and Mary had 6 children:

John McNeill b. abt. 1822, Masstown, NS m. Amelia Faulkner
James A. McNeill b. 1824, Masstown, NS m. Jane Fulton
Robert Lewis McNeill b. 2-Nov-1826, Masstown, NS m. Jerusha Teed m2. Lavinia Munro
Joseph McNeill b. 1829, Masstown, NS m. Lavenia Faulkner m2. Patience Dill
Rebecca Jane McNeill b. 1832, Masstown, NS m. Thomas Faulkner
Barbara McNeill b. 1838, Masstown, NS m. Daniel Faulkner

If anybody knows anything about Robert McNeill b.abt.1798 or is a descendant of him please respond.

Also where were most of the Nova Scotian McNeil/McNeill/MacNeil/MacNeills from in Scotland?

Thank you,
Justin
