Note

Note: Jane McCall was a daughter of James and Janet Harris McCall whose family histories are inseparably intertwined from Ireland. Her father arrived in Philadelphia from Ulster, Northern Ireland, in 1730. His family settled on Conachcocheque Creek in Pennsylvania. He was married about 1740 to Janet Harris, daughter of James Harris who accompanied the McCall emigration from Ireland. The McCalls and the Harrises joined the movement to New River, Virginia about 1750. Indian attacks compelled the New River, VA settlement to remove to Anson County [now Mecklenburg County], North Carolina about 1760. There James McCall received land grants, was a member of the North Carolina militia in 1766 in Captain Adam Alexander's Company and became a Revolutionary soldier, along with two of his sons, William McCall and Hugh McCall.

Jane McCall's family along with the Harris family were deeply connected to the Presbyterian Church.
