SECOND GENERATION

3. Hannah JUNKINS was born in 1747 in Carnmoney, Antrim, Ireland. She was baptized on Nov 12 1747 in Carnmoney, Antrim, Ireland. She died after 1798 in Belmont or Coshocton Co., Ohio.

She was married to John MCELVAIN (Mulveen-Mulvan) about 1776 in Oxford, Chester Co., Pennsylvania. John MCELVAIN (Mulveen-Mulvan) died about Oct 1 1793 in E. Nottingham Twp., Chester Co., Pennsylvania. He was born in Northern Ireland. !John was a Revolutionary Soldier. Died intestate-Oxford, PA as "Mulvain" David Douglas (son of the widow), Jefferson Cty, Pa.(Most likely Ohio) guardian of John, Joseph, Junkin and Hannah Mulvain - 1800 hearing

1779 tax list, E. Nottingham Tp., Chester Co.,PA: John M'Elven More of John Mulvane, Immigrant: John Mulvane came to America with of about the same time as his brother, David. David is listed in the FIRST CENSUS OF THE UNITED STATES, heads of Families, MARYLAND, 1790, Cecil Co., North Susquehannah Hundred as David Mulveen with three males 16 and up, one white male under 16, and two white females. David Mullveen's will dated Apr 23, 1795, was filed for probate at West Chester, Chester County, Pennsylvania, June 13, 1795. He names his wife, Magdalena, and left her his entire estate except for seven shillings and six pence bequeathed to each of the children of his brother John, not named individually. It is probable that the children listed in the 1790 censs, if his, were given their inheritance prior to his death. I believe some of them may have emigrated to New Jersey. East Nottingham township, Chester County, Pennsylvania, is joined on the south by Cecil County, Maryland, where David settled. The boundary between Pennsylvania and Maryland was in dispute for several years, changing back and forth. It was possible for someone to be living in Maryland and, without moving, later be living in Pennsylvania, and this may have been the case with David. There is only one record found so far bearing the name of JOHN MULVANE to show that he served in the Revolutionary War. It is undated, calls him a private in the 11th PA Regiment, and it reads: "State of Pennsylvania against United States for Depreciation of Pay of the Army. Sum charged L56 s9 p11." Under remarks is the date, "May 9, 77." This date is possibly the date of enlistment. He is said, through tradition passed down through his great grnadson Joseph (4), (Joseph (3), Joseph (2)), that he was badly wounded at the Battle of Brandywine Creek, and these wounds contributed to an early death. This battle was fought September 11, 1777, so close to the Mulvane home that they could hear the roar. Brandywine Creek runs through Delaware into Chester Co., Pennsylvania. The defeated Continental Army afterwards withdrew for the winter to Valley Forge in the northern part of Chester County. John Mulvane has been erroneously identified in a DAR application as the John Mulvany, born in Ireland in 1758, enlisted in the 11th Pa. Regiment as a private in Sept. 1777 at age 19, and reported killed in the Battle of Brandywine Creek. It this John Mulvany did indeed survive, he would have been too young to have been the second husband of Hannah (Junkin) Douglas who had two children by 1774. By: Shirley Henderson

He was the biggest man on the plains, and a genuine Irishman. One of the earliest post offices in the county is White Eyes Plains. John Junkins was probably the first postmaster. He was succeeded by James Lisk. The Cadiz road...., in early days, was a principal highway of travel and emigration, so much so that several taverns flourished here for awhile in close proximity to each other. (John Junkins) hung out a large wooden "blue ball" to the gaze of the passer-by, inviting him to partake of the entertainment provided within, about a mile west of Wolfe. This was an important place in those days. "Jenkins" was postmaster for a great many years and also a justice of the peace, and the township elections were held here at his tavern.

Vail Genealogy by William Penn Vail (1937), p.282: John McCune was born in Chester Co., PA of Irish parentage. About the year 1779 he sold his parental inheritance, emigrated to South Carolina.....where he bought a small farm, preferring to become better acquainted with the country before he made a purchase for a permanent residence. The greater part of his means was deposited in the Government loan office in Charlestown. In the next year the British and the Tories, who were in a majority in the country districts, obliged him, a violent Whig, with a few others who disdained to take protection from the British, to retire to the swamps and morasses, where under the leadership of General Sumter they carried on a guerilla warfare in defense of their country. Finally, the forces of Gen'l's Greene and Morgan compelled the British to retire from the country. No section of any state of the Union suffered so much from the civil war which raged between the Whigs and the Tories as did the upper part of South Carolina. Hundreds on each side were executed by "Drumhead Court-martial". Says the wife of John McCune, "I have seen ten men with but seven arms after the surprise and defeat of Col. Buford's regiment.".... "I have seen," says John McCune,"and assisted to cut down, numbers of putrified bodies (presumably Whigs hung for a trivial cause) when the penalty for so doing was death." Thus per- ished some of the best men of their Country after its evacuation by the British "John McCune took his wife and two small children and retraced their journey into Virginia, where his daughter Jane, my second wife, was born," says Lewis Vail....[in a letter to his nephew Alfred Vail of Morristown, N.J. ca.1850; now preserved in "Alfred Vail papers" at New York City]....leaving unsold the land he had purchased and unclaimed his money in the Loan Office. This office was soon afterward burned and all written evidence of his deposit of his funds therein was destroyed. From Virginia John McCune removed to the Ohio River previous to any settlement being made West of the river, and about the beginning of the 1800's he removed into Ohio, where he died in 1812. [evidence from the 1790 and 1850 censuses documents that John McCune was in Pennsylvania, not Virginia, in 1790-1795; his dau. Isabella is recorded as having been born at "Wheeling, VA" in Jan., 1794 (co. death record), or in Pennsylvania (censuses 1850-70)]

+30 i. George MCCUNE.

+33 iv. John MCCUNE.

+34 v. Hannah MCCUNE.
