- (1) Jolliffe, William, Historical, Genealogical, and Biographical Account of the Jolliffe Family of Virginia, 1652 to 1893, Philadelphia, PA: J. B. Lippincott Company, 1893, p. 176:
The first Friends' Meeting organized in Ireland was held at William Edmundson's house in Lurgan, in the year 1654. This William Edmundson was a native of Westmoreland, England, and had been a captain in Cromwell's army, by whom he was settled in Ireland on dispossessed lands. Another meeting was begun at Cavan in 1655, and to this meeting a William O'Neill joined himself in 1656. Dropping the "O" from his name, he ever afterwards wrote himself as " William Neill." Sewell speaks of him as William Neill.

Description: Hello! Nice to see someone else researching this line. From historian records in Ireland, John's father was Thomas. Thomas' father was William. Thomas was married to Elizabeth and John was indeed married to Ester. This is also my family line. I have my complete line from William to myself, along with court records, original family letters a Bible page, pictures, etc. What is your line here?
