We only know a little bit about them. Then this part of the family gets a bit messy. There was an early settler of Union, CT, a William McNall with a son Arthur, that perhaps are our ancestors, but there is not enough evidence yet to know for sure. There is also a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.genealogy.com\/forum\/surnames\/topics\/mcnall\/\">good deal of speculation and debate here about the early McNalls<\/a>, but no one seems to have enough sources to say for sure. And if that wasn&#8217;t enough confusion, there is also a bit of a muddle that perhaps some McNalls were confused with some McNitts.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.wmcnitt.net\/saga\/bk6ch37.html\">Does Arthur McNitt = Arthur McNall<\/a> or were they separate people?<\/p>\n<p>Here is what we can be pretty confident about since we have some sources . . .<\/p>\n<p><strong>Timeline<\/strong><br \/>1780 &#8211; John born (grave)<br \/>23 Feb 1806 &#8211; William born Stafford Springs CT (Adams, Ellis)<br \/>1817 &#8211; John settled at Cadiz NY, kept a hotel, had the first sawmill there (Adams, Ellis)<br \/>17 Mar 1829 &#8211; William &amp; Sibbel married (Ellis)<br \/>19 Jan 1846 &#8211; John died in NY (grave)<br \/>1850 &#8211; William &amp; Sibbel &amp; 8 kids farming in Franklinville, Cattaraugus, NY, Mellison with them (census)<br \/>1855 &#8211; William &amp; Sibbel &amp; 7 kids in Franklinville, Cattaraugus, NY (census)<br \/>1860 &#8211; William &amp; Sibbel &amp; 4 kids in Franklinville, Cattaraugus, NY, Almira &amp; 2 kids with them (census)<br \/>1870 &#8211; William &amp; Sibbel still in Franklinville, Cattaraugus, NY, he&#8217;s a carpenter (census)<br \/>20 Dec 1870 &#8211; William died (Adams, Ellis)<br \/>\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>The Basic Facts: <\/strong><br \/>John McNALL<br \/>b. 1780<br \/>d.19 Jan 1846, Cattaraugus NY<br \/>&amp; Meleson\u00a0WASHBURN<br \/>William McNALL<br \/>b. 23 Feb 1806, Stafford Springs CT<br \/>d. 20 Dec 1870,Franklinville, Cattaraugus, NY<br \/>&amp; Sibbel SEAWARD<br \/>b. 15 Apr 1811, Decatur NY<br \/>d. 2 Apr 1891,\u00a0Franklinville, Cattaraugus, NY<br \/>m. 17 Mar 1829, Franklinville, Cattaraugus, NY<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u00a0<br \/><strong>Sources<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/archive.org\/download\/historicalgazett00adam\/historicalgazett00adam.pdf\">Historical gazetteer and biographical memorial of Cattaraugus County, N.Y by William Adams<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/books.google.com\/books?id=o8oxAQAAMAAJ&amp;lpg=PA8&amp;ots=Im9xtoWn61&amp;dq=william%20mcnall%20cattaraugus&amp;pg=PA8#v=onepage&amp;q=william%20mcnall%20cattaraugus&amp;f=false\">History of Cattaraugus County, New York by Franklin Ellis<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/books\/reader?printsec=frontcover&amp;output=reader&amp;id=xgoWAAAAYAAJ\">The history of Union, Conn by Charles Hammond\u00a0<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.findagrave.com\/cgi-bin\/fg.cgi?page=gr&amp;GRid=101131458\">See William&#8217;s grave<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.findagrave.com\/cgi-bin\/fg.cgi?page=gr&amp;GRid=111761358\">See John&#8217;s grave<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ah, the McNalls.
