A friend called me I looked around, he had seen no one, when I looked back, nothing. She was in a long white dress, blond hair, I could see the tears falling from her cheeks I was that close. Nobody believed me, except my mother, why I do not know, however a couple of days later her father, my grandfather died!Burkecadaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02915333689873592014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2705771450596300887.post-90769189922269839952020-01-22T18:25:13.094+00:002020-01-22T18:25:13.094+00:00My 2x great grandfather, Joseph MacMillan, worked ...My 2x great grandfather, Joseph MacMillan, worked at Shane's Castle for more than 30 years. He began as a Farm Servant and worked his way up to Farm Steward, then Foreman to Land Steward, Second Steward, Foreman Gardener, Under-Steward, and finally to Steward. He lived at Shane's Castle for most of his life, married at First Presbyterian Church in Randalstown, and had 4 children.<br /><br />His wife, Margaret Harper, was 21 years younger. Her father, Andrew Harper, worked at Shane's Castle as a Farm Servant. <br /><br />Research by my uncle, Norman Stewart Heaney, came upon a story that Joseph MacMillan, Steward at Shane's Castle was shot accidentally while a hunt or shoot was going on at the estate. He was wounded and retired. He died of pneumonia 19 June 1892.<br /><br />We will be in Randalstown for the last weekend in May this year. I would be honored to walk on the land where my family lived, worked, and raised their children. <br /><br />Nancy Myer, USAnsmyernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2705771450596300887.post-49122799504472279942019-04-29T02:46:01.703+01:002019-04-29T02:46:01.703+01:00I am a direct relation to the O’Neills of Shane’s ...I am a direct relation to the O’Neills of Shane’s Castle. My great great great great great grandfather was Hugh O’ Neil who was born in Shane’s Castle and moved to Delaware with his son James. My wife and I are coming to Ireland in August of this year, and it would be an honor to meet the current lord of the Castle and discuss my heritage. Is this possible?<br />Thank you.My homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02781626185887538371noreply@blogger.com
