Umckain:
Are the McKain ladies above related to the William in your other message? I looked on the subscription site Roots Ireland but did not see a record for an Esther McKain. There were two Martha McKain records in 1829 and 1835. No Margery records. I assume they were Church of Ireland?

Great find!
Greenhill is in Aghanunshin civil parish which is a small parish east of Letterkenny. Baptismal records for this parish start in 1877. Earlier records were likely lost in the 1922 Public Records Office fire in Dublin.
I checked the 1834 Tithe listings for Greenhill and did not find William McKeane/McKain. However, only part of Greenhill was microfilmed for the Tithe listings site. There were 51 lessees but only 42-51 are on the site.

Roger, want to stick with the 3 McKain sisters for now...we don't know if connected to William McKain/McKean/McCain or not.
Being you're a volunteer in Rosscommon area? I'd like to look in the County Donegal area of Ireland ?(perGreenhill,Aghaninshine Parish?) Just to see if they born/lived there.
then if they stayed there or moved before heading to Philadelphia,Pennsylvania where all 3 sisters died...
Thanks for your help. Lois butler
Lois:
I actually live in the USA and respond to messages for all counties. I don't believe you will find any church records for the three sisters.
