  • Notes  Married:
    • The marriage of William McCauley and the widow, Katherine Johnston Long, occurred the same year William and family arrived from Ireland in the 1770s. — William V.

No statement is made about whether she was of North Carolina, or perhaps also emigrated from Ireland before becoming his wife.)
