McQUIGG, James C., was born in the parish of IRELAND Carragh. the county of Antrim, In the extreme north of IRELAND, about three miles from the Atlantic ocean, on the first day of August. 1838. He is of Scotch ancestry, his great-grandfathers, William McQuigg and John McAfee, having come from Scotland when they were young men. settling in IRELAND Carragh parish and living there the remainder of their lives engaged in agricultural pursuits. William McQuigg. son of John and grandfather of James C. McQuigg, was born in this parish and died there in his seventy-fifth year. William McAfee, the maternal grandfather of James C. McQuigg. emigrated to the United States with his family in 1838. settling in Wayne County. Ohio, where he died in 1863 when aged about seventy-six' years. The parents of James C. McQuigg were John and Sarah (McAfee) McQuigg, both of whom wore horn in IRELAND Carragh parish, the father in May, 1805 and the mother in July of the same year. They were married in this parish in September, 1831 and continued to live there until June, 1843, when they took passage with their children, seven in number, from Liverpool to New York, going from there to Wayne County, Ohio, arriving there In the month of August of the same year. The names of the seven children according to priority of birth were: William, Eliza. Martha Jane. Mary Ann. Samuel, James C. and John. Afterward two more children were born: Sarah and Margaret.
The father soon after coming to this country became interested in farming and earnestly engaged in the same with the aid of his sons, and he kept it up very extensively during the active years of his life. The mother, with the aid of their daughters, looked after the domestic affairs, and she saw that they secured a fairly good education, the two youngest receiving collegiate training. It was indeed a good and happy family. The children were taught to believe in the divinity of Christ and all the family became members of the Presbyterian Church. Both parents have long since passed to their reward, the father on the first day of February, 1885, In his eightieth year, and the mother on

Jay's Note: IRELAND Carragh should be Islandcarragh. Wiliam McAfee died in December of 1858 not 1863 and was believed to be about 80 to 81 years old. William McAfee Jr. died abt. 1863. This bio on James C. McQuigg written 4 years prior to the obituary previously posted if more accurate may shed some light on the father of William McAfee Sr. (if the names are not transposed) indicating John McAfee (or McDuffee) as the father of William McAfee Sr. This would also indicate that John McQuigg (who married Sarah McAfee) father is William McQuigg son of another John McQuigg. Burials in old Dunluce Presbyterian Church graveyard in Co. Antrim, IRELAND may fall in line with this story.
