Elizabeth and Robert McCall arrived in America with their baby in 1775. It is
said that Elizabeth was of royal descent, and had to elope with Robert who was
a weaver by trade. Robert may have been escaping from a charge of treason after
presenting the King with a tablecloth that had an American Eagle on it.
About 1781, the family moved from York Co. PA to near the present town of
Rocky Mount VA, in a part of Henry Co. VA that became Franklin Co. in 1785. |
