Rachael (Smith) McCune
Dec 28, 1860 - Feb 16, 1891
Died in childbirth with Lyman
I (Wayne McKinstry) asked Sam Pruitt:

Sam, I know we are related but I don't remember how. Can you tell me anything?

Sam answered: Lana is our family historian so I asked her. She responded . . .

I think Wayne's greatgrandma on his dad's side (Rachel Smith McCune) was a sister to our grandma Carrick's mother (Agnes Smith Crihfield Rice). That would make us full third cousins.

Hope this helps.


Robert McCune's parents were
James McCowan and Mary Fox

They came to America from Ireland separately.  (The name was later changed to McCune.  It was also spelled McGowan.)  I think people back then were not as fussy about grammar and spelling.
