OVERVIEW[]
He came from North Ireland with his brother John and landed at New Castle, Chester Co., Penn. They were a part of that great exodus of Presbyterians of Scottish descent who left their adopted country and came to America. William brought his wife and two small children with him. They went to South Carolina in 1744, thence to North Carolina. In 1746, they settled on the Staunton River near Botecourt, Monroe Co., Va., and later to Augusta Co., Va. in 1753.
