Naming a second child Samuel when the first one was still alive presents a problem. The baptismal record indicates that the father of the first Samuel was James McClung, but does not name the mother. The parents of the second Samuel were James McClung and Eliza Gilliland

William Crozier (Agnes's son) provides a link between the two families. He names his cousin Eliza Jane Conway (née McClung), daughter of Thomas John, as his next of kin
