My great great grandfather was William McKillop, who was married to Mary Reid, and they were from Cushendall, Moyle District They were Roman Catholic. Their first two children Daniel and James were born there, then they came to the US in 1864 and had more kids, including my great grandmother (Sarah). The men wer boat captains… several fathers, sons, brothers. They lived in Greenpoint Brooklyn near a bunch of other McKillops, and some Reids nearby, so I assume they were all family.

I”m trying to trace them further back in Ireland, and Scotland before that. I think William’s father was also William and his mother Margaret Black. Anyone with any info - it would be greatly appreciated.

Do you have any info?

Thanks!
