George,How have I missed looking at the Manor forum?Well, I did anyway.
I am VERY interested in the Rebecca Manor/Meanor.
Ron is desc. from Isaac Meanor (his son, James chgd to Minor- another son's son chgd to MANOR etc.)
Samuel is prob. brother of Isaac b. ca 1750-55 and mar Elizabeth Scott.They lived in
Allegheny Co.
There were umteen Samuel, Isaac, John and Williams.Also a George Menough back in Chester Co.
I still wonder if the Craigs of Beaver, maybe lawrence? counties are from the Craigs of Washington Co., PA
Robert Craig,Sr. & Catherine (Johnston) Craig emigrated from N.Ire. abt 1804 with 3 children.Robt d. there by 1830 I believe.
Catherine ca to Muskingum & Hocking counties, OH with sons, William, Hugh and Thomas also dau. Mary.
Hugh mar. Jane Ann Jenkins; Thomas mar. Mary Frances Trainer and Mary mar. Israel Nichols.
Hugh's dau. Catherine Craig mar. MY William Chas. Campbell.She d. Hocking Co. abt 1860 aged 28y.
Please send whatever you may have of Rebecca, Samuel and Elizabeth.
I believe the various spellings came from the way Menough was pronounced.I am told some said MEEnough, others MEHnough and still another as MAYnough.So you can see how that became Menor, Manor, Minor, Meanor etc.
ThanksGrace
