Susan Perong is seeking information on McKinstry family specifically Rodney McKinstry likely son of Roger McKinstry born about 1724-44 and also Rodney's brother to Samuel McKinstry, wife Esther Gordon and daughter Esther McKinstry (died 1885). Rodney may have participated in the Rebellion of 1798 and soon left for America. Only his brother Samuel remained to care for aged mother. Two other brothers were reported to also have moved to America. The will for Samuel lists Castle Chichester . Could anyone help look at church records or cemetery? The family was apparently involved with shipping and long history in area as Rodger McKinstry Sr and Mary Wilson settled in area about 1669. Would appreciate any assistance!!
