xcJUNKrs FAMILY.
Interesting History Of Faulty With
CONNECTIONS In Laurens County.


The following history Of the McJun-
kin family, taken from the Columbia
State is OF more than ordinary inter-
est In Laurens because OF the fact
that the early heads Of this distin-
gu.shed Southern family are direct
ancestors OF a prominent Laurens
family, that Of Mr.. d. A. Davis. OF
interesting connection with this ap-
pearance of the family history is the
fact that Mr.. Davis has In his poses
sion a unique and time-worn book
"E'cclestiastical History" bv Rev. John
Newton of London owned at one time
by Joseph McJunkln. IT was publish
ed In 1895 and has many points Of pc
culiar interest. The history Of the
family follows:
McJunkin.-Robert McJunkin, a
fine specimen OF Scotch manhood, and
Margaret Caldwell, a pretty Irish
lady, were married in Tyrone, Ireland.
Lived there for quite time. Samuel,
one OF their sons, was born there.
Being staunch Presbyterians, they de-
sired home where they could wor-
ship God In peace and rear a family
of od-fearing children, 80 they cross
ed the Atlantic in 1741 and settled
in Pennsylvania. Samuel McJunkin
(married Anna Bryan) lived some
years In Cumberland county, then
moved to South Carolina in 1855, set
tied on Tinker Creek. four miles from
Union court house. They had quite a
family-Joseph, Jane, Margaret, who
married Capt. Beatty, and Daniel, who
was badly wounded at battle Of Cam
den, s.. c., are all recall. Samuel
McJunkin was justice OF the
peace under the royal government, but
took part with the provinces in resist
ing :he aggressions OF the British
government and was staunch ad-
vocate for the Liberties OF the peo-
pie. He was held q prisoner Of war
