  • Notes 
    • REV. Forrester McKaughan was a twin to Jesse Alfred. At times during h is lifetime he spelled his name "McKoin". Information from his Bibles s ays he was a member of the Protestant Church for thirty-five years. Th is would have been the Protestant Methodist Church, which was very popu lar in that area for many years. He then changed to the Christian Chur ch where he was a minister in Guilford County, North Carolina. The chu rch, now gone, was next to what is now the A. and I. Cemetery. Another d enomination built across the road from the cemetery and now uses it . H e and several of his family are buried in this cemetery. On one census , he spelled his name McKoin however later when gravestones were bought , it is spelled McCaughan. Rev. Forrester had been conducting a revival at the Mt Zion Church near P ilot Mountain, NC. As he rose to speak, he died of an apparent heart at tack, 30 September 188 3. Four Generations of McKaughans in America has the death date as 3 0 sep 1888. I have only a couple generations worked out for Rev. Forrester McKaugha n. I understand someone in Kernersville has been working on his line. I h ave through the years written to several McKaughan's of his line in Ker nersville but so far have not had any of them answer so the y must not w ant to share their information. Rev. Forrester McKaughan's Bible left a multitude of information he and o ther members of the family had written down. It is from his Bible that w e found my great-grandfather's, Rev. William McCoin, obituary. Rev. Wi lliam died after Rev. Forrester so someone had added this to the Bible, f or which we are thankful. OTHER INFORMATION FOUIND IN REV.
