Charity McIlwee possibilities.
I suspect that there may have been two Charity McIlwees related to David McIlwee who died in 1805 at the home of his sister Susanna McIlwee.One Charity McIlwee would have been a sister who married Adam Schreid (Shride). Adam Schreid and Charity had a daughter Elizabeth who married Elijah Pennington. Another Charity McIlwee may have been one of the orphans that David McIlwee left on his death in 1805. He lists one of the orphans as Charley but I suspect this could have been a Charity McIlwee. Adam Schreid and Charity also had two step daughters, Julia Kump and Mary Harbus (sp?). These two Charity names keep appearing in my research of the McIlwees from Frederick County, Va. and Hampshire County, West Va. Some of the families associated with the McIlwees were Clutter, Switzer (Swisher), Kump, Secrist, Tulles, Pennington, Millslagle and Parrill to name a few. Anyone researching this line of Mcilwees please let me know. Happy McElwee/McIlwee hunting to all!!! Roy McIlwee, Scranton, Penna.
