  1.   There is reasonable doubt that Ann's maiden name is incorrect. I found a family connection to Ann, in the obituary for Jane (McKendry) Crawford 1837-1919. Please review attached obituary, explaining the relationship between Ann and her niece Jane.

    I believe both are from the same family, Ann's brother spells his last name, McKendry. His name is John McKendry 1795-1840.
    I believe their parents were William (or James?) McKendry 1770-1862 and Ann Connell McKendry 1776-xxxx. As you can see, I am still researching.

    As well, researched the two last names and found this:
    McKendry is a surname derived from Mac Eanraig in Scotland[1] (a sept of Henderson Clan[2]) and Mac Einri in Ireland[3][4] (a sept of Clan Drugain), from "Mac" meaning son of, and the pre 6th century personal given name Henry resulting in McHenry / MacHenry,[5] originally composed of the Germanic elements "heim" meaning "home" and "ric" - power. The name was introduced into England by the Normans at the Invasion of 1066 as Henri, and this spelling spread to both Scotland and Ireland.[6] A variation of McKendry found in what is now the northeast coast of County Antrim, Northern Ireland, variously spelt as McKenry, McKenery, McHenry, McHendry, McEnry, McEndry, McEnrie etc was first used after the Battle of Aura where the forces of Sorley Boy McDonnell won a decisive victory over the McQuillans. Henry MacNaughton fought with the McDonnells and was granted land in the area in recognition of his service. His descendents termed themselves "sons of Henry (McNaughton) i.e. McHenry." The spelling variants are simply due to literacy levels of the next centuries and local pronunciation. Families could spell their name McHenry and have siblings and cousins who spelt it McEnry, McKendry etc. The families still farm the same land in current generations.

    I have also reached out to the owner of Ann Cargill's memorial on Find A Grave with the obituary, to change her last name, it has been changed.
