Samuel, his brother William & father Robert migrated from Ireland to Cumberland Co., PA in 1741.
I have a note stating Samuel & Mary Anne also lived in Spartanburg Co., SC. I don't know if this was before or after arriving in Union Co., SC.
Migration to America:
Samuel McJunkin purportedly migrated to America in about 1740; he married Ann Bogan at Holy Trinity (Old Swede's) Church in Wilmington, Delaware on 9 September 1754. His first son, Joseph, was born in Chester County, PA on 22 June 1755.
To avoid Indian problems along the PA frontier, the family migrated to South Carolina, arriving in the Tinker Creek area of what is now Union County, SC on 24 December 1755. All of Samuel's other children, starting with Daniel, were born in this area of the South Carolina Colony. A number of other families migrated to South Carolina and settled on Tinker Creek with the McJunkin's, including the Brandon's, Bogan's, Young's, Steen's and Kennedy's.
The earliest mention of Samuel McJunkin, Sr. in the official records of South Carolina, that have been found, is when he surveyed a 150-acre tract of land located on Tinker Creek, on 23 May 1765. He received a patent for this land on 13 February 1768.
South Carolina historical note: Until 1868 there were districts instead of counties.
Samuel McJunkin was too old for active campaigning during the Revolution, but urged the Colonists to revolt and was imprisioned for his efforts. He recognized the new government by serving as a Juror.

In 1807, although 82 years of age, and a widower - Ann Bogan McJunkin died during the Revolution while nursing her son, Major Joseph McJunkin, of smallpox - he decided to move to Indiana with his daughter Jane McDaniel, and others along the new trail opened through Kentucky.
