Margaret Radcliffe was the youngest child of Philip RADCLIFFE & his second wife Margaret BREW, of Ballakelly, Andreas. Her parents died in 1753 and 1754, and she married "underage" [aged under 21] to John McNameer:
“John McNameer & Margret Radcliffe both of this parish married with consent of sd Margret Radcliffe’s Guardian 6 May 1762”

"Lezayre 21st July 1764: This day I John McNamear of the Leane Moar in the parish of KK Andrews, husband of Margaret Radcliffe daughter of Philip Radcliffe late of BallaKelly in the sd Parish, came to the Registry and do hereby acknowledge to have received at and from the hands of John Camaish of Balnacamaish in the parish of KK Andrews aforesaid the full sum of eight pounds which was in his hands belonging to my said wife and left her by the last will of her said father, and I do hereby release acquit and discharge the said John Camaish, his Executors, Administrators & Assigns of the said sum forever, as witness my mark to my name the day and date above written. Signed John McNamere X his mark ....."
[Attached to Philip Radcliffe's 1754 will.]

Margaret was still alive when John "Nemeer" died in 1784, leaving a will. See Brian Lawson's website:

The son of Margaret Radcliffe's eldest full brother William [b.1731], also William [b.1766], emigrated to the USA with his wife Bahee/Bridget LACE with four? of their children.

This could be the family on the 'Emulous' which arrived in New York on June 27, 1827:
Wm Radcliffe 50, Betsy 49: John 25, Ths 23, Charl 18 Catherine 18. ["Bahee" heard as Betsy?].
