Generation No. 1

1. FRANCIS² MCCUNE (?¹) was born Abt. 1710 in Scotland, and died Unknown. He married MARGARET ???. She died Unknown.

Notes for FRANCIS MCCUNE:
IS THIS THE BROTHER OF WILLIAM McCUNE? There are so many incidents that tie them together, same dates, same places, lots of the names are the same, both families married the same Mathers family and they even married into each others family. I feel very strongly that the two are brothers, but do not, as yet, have the proof I need. Assuming that they are, I am including the family by continuing the same numbering sequence.

In 1743, he patented a large track of land Tee's River in Va. Three years later, he sold 200 acres for $9.00 in one transaction and in another, he sold 500 acres for $450.00.
