Subject: William McCrystal/McChrystal/McCristal/McCrystle

William McCrystal came to the USA from Co.Tyrone,N.Ireland. I got this from several McCrystal tomb stones and from the Dixon, Illinois newspapers. Dixon,Il. is where William died in 1864.

William's wife and 4 sons came to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and settled in the District of Richmond in 1843. This from the SS Abbotsford records that they came over on. The problem is that there was Ann, Charles, James and William - listed in that order. Now, was the William listed the father or the son? If he was the father, wouldn't he have been listed first as the head of the household?

If it is not the husband and father, then when did William come over by himself or when did the father, William, come over? What ship, who with? I checked with the Archives and they keep sending me the one that has William listed at the bottom of the list.

Can anyone help me? I'm grateful for any information you can give me concerning this situation.
