    Have to correct a mistake.

    Sam’s paternal grandfather was Edmund Thomas Querrey (the son of Preston Edmund Querrey and Helen Miller). Edmund was born in Kansas. Preston was the son of Edwin/Edmund/Edmond Preston Querry and Lillian Lenora McCoy. Sam’s great-grandmother Helen was the daughter of James Harris Miller and Agnes Shannon, who was from Northern Ireland.

    Remove ”likely” before Scottish, he does have Scottish ancestry.

      How do you figure that? You’ve simply traced this line back to Northern Ireland. In that case, remove “Scottish” altogether, since it’d already be included in Scots-Irish. That is, unless you’ve got some direct Scottish ancestry you forgot to post.

        I’m sorry, did you look at his family tree, or? If not, then don’t tell me what I did or didn’t do. McCoys are Scottish, for example. From Scotland.
