If you are a Spence or Thompson with Cullybackey connections, then Mrs Lillian Semerau of 141 Haywain Drive, Chapin, South Carolina, 29036, USA, wants to hear from you (writes Dr Eull Dunlop).
The sprightly octogenarian recently visited the Cuningham Memorial Church where her great-grandmother, Eliza Jane Thompson (born 1838), and sister, Sarah Thompson (born 1836), were baptised. They were daughters of Joseph Thompson and Sarah Spence, possibly of Tullygrawley.
An emigrant lass, Eliza Jane married Alexander Crummie, possibly a stowaway from Belfast, in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, sometime before 1870.
Determined to bequeath some of the family history to her descendants who have enjoyed privileges unknown to the young couple who first settled in Alleghany township, Mrs Semerau urgently wishes to exchange information.
Contact her on lillysemerau@yahoo.com for mutually beneficial research.
