Thomas Major

Thomas Major (my 6th Great Grandfather) was born about 1707, and married Margaret McLean (daughter of John McLean) in Ireland. They came to America about 1745 and settled in Pennsylvania. Family records and history indicate Thomas Major, born about 1707, was born in "Londonderry" County Ireland. There are several other Major families in Faughanvale, Muff, Derry in the 1700s; and there are several Major burials at St. Canice's Church.) Thomas Major and Margaret McLean had children: Thomas Major II, Margaret Major, Martha Major, John Major, Mary Major, Robert Major. Thomas Major moved to North Carolina. The name became Majors. Margaret Majors married Robert Paisley. Mary Majors married George Stewart. I have been researching this family for 30 years.
