Thomas Major (my 7th Great Grandfather) was born about 1670 and lived in Faughanvale, Muff, Derry. His wife's name is unknown, but there are several Major burials at St. Canice's Church. Thomas Major had a son Thomas Major Jr., born about 1707, married Margaret McLean (daughter of John McLean) in Ireland. They came to America about 1745 and settled in Pennsylvania. Family records and history indicate Thomas Major Jr. was born in "Londonderry" County Ireland. Thomas Major and Margaret McLean had children: Thomas Major II, Margaret Major, Martha Major, John Major, Mary Major, Robert Major. Thomas Major II moved to North Carolina. The name became Majors. Margaret Majors married Robert Paisley. Mary Majors married George Stewart. I have been researching this family for 30 years.
