First Generation: Six McA/Ninch’s in early western Pennsylvania |
|
There were six different ‘First Generation’ McA/Ninch’s (‘1G’s) in early western Pennsylvania, |
and at least another four different ‘Second Generation’ McA/Ninch’s (‘2G’s) in the same area. |
|
The six ‘First Generation’ McA/Ninch’s (Daniel, John, Archibald, two Williams, and Henry), |
are listed here in chronological order by date of birth (local designations 1G:1, 1G:2 . . . 1G:6). |
Two of these ‘First Generation’ men, Daniel (1G:1) b.1750-1755 and William (1G:4) b.bef.1765 |
are related (brothers or cousins), and went to Kentucky together. However, there are no proven |
family connections (yet) among the other four McA/Ninch’s and their families: |
John McAninch (1G:2) b.ca.1760, Archibald McNinch (1G:3) b.1760-1765, |
William McAninch (1G:5) b.1770-1775, and Henry McAninch (1G:6) b.1777. |
