My father Christian Ray McLane was born 1889 Harlem Springs,Ohio to Ross Talbot McLane and Elva Jane Best. Ross Talbot McLane father was John Ross McLane and Adeline Talbot daughter of Thomas F. Talbot and Henrietta Allen. The Talbot family can trace its line back to England , to Ninth Earl of Shrewsbury Lord John Talbot. George Talbot 6th Earl of Shrewsbury ,(c1339-1590) was an English solider and he took part in the <Rough Wooing> of Scotland along with Edward Seymour, 1st Duke of Somerset. From 1569-1584 he was entrusted by Queen Elizabeth I with custody of Mary Queen of Scots(mother of James VI of Scotland and of England). He was the fourth husband of the famous Bess Hardwick. Charles Talbot ,12th Earl of Shrewsbury was a stateman under Charles II and James II but gave money to William of Orange and did much to bring about the revolution of 1688 which saw the end of the Stewarts and the begining of the Jacobite cause. He was created a Duke ! Only in America ! http://www.genealogy.org/~liam/sea2.html http://www.mexia.com/mcclain/home.htm http://www.toto.com/christian_insight/GracePage.htm

Good Morning, As a matter of information I just downloaded the 1790 Census for Guilford Co., NC last night. My ancestors, all of whom signed their respective surnames "McLean" were listed as "McClain." I have found various and similar errors both common and often. I have found the name as McLane, McClean, and even M'Lane. I continue to caution that we in the western world have been literate for about 150 years. However, literacy has given way to a vice of literalism in the last 50 to 75 years. I continue to hear people say "My family has always spelled.......," when speaking of eight generations. The truth is that the first two or three generations probably couldn't spell at all. I am descended from Joseph McLean of Guilford Co., NC. He was born in Philadelphia Co., PA, 13 Sep 1752, d. Guilford Co., NC, 22 Dec 1832. He married Mary Margaret Mebane, probably in Guilford Co. If you think you may have a connection feel free to contact me. Regards, Dick Hudson

My ancestor Hugh McLain married Miss. Elizabeth Morris 24/Apr/1810 , we have been looking for Hugh Parents , Hugh had to be born abt 1790 + or - . Their are some McLain that are laid to rest close by Fort Bragg N.C. could these McLain be the same ? Hugh married in Meklenburg , N.C.

A BIOGRAPHICAL STUDY 1820 - 1889 AVERASBORO, NC BY COLIE E. ROCK ERWIN, NC Pages 10 and 11 Neill Shaw Stewart was born May 23, 1820, in Cumberland County, NC. He was the only son of Hector Stewart and Mary Shaw Stewart. His great-grandfather migrated to this country from Scotland in 1735, and settled about twelve miles north of Fayetteville on the Northeast side of the Cape Fear River near the present site of Old Bluff Presbyterian Church in Cumberland County. It was here that Neill Shaw Stewart spent his boyhood and early manhood. Hector Stewart (Neill S. Stewart's father) first married Mary McNeill. To them were born three sons and one daughter. The sons (Tom, Mack, and Robert) traveled west to Texas as young men and settled there. The daughter, Mary Jane, Married John L. Atkins and settled in Harnett County. Mary MacNeill Stewart died and Hector Stewart married a second time. Hector Stewart married Mary Shaw as his second wife. To this union were born five children--four daughters and one son. The daughters were Negelena, married to Mr. Clements and moved to Texas; Grissella, married to Mr. Murphy and also moved to Texas; Margaret, married to Mr. Atkinson and lived in Cumberland County, and Annie Jane, married to Mr. Yarborough with residence unknown to this writer. The only son, Neill Shaw Stewart, married Eliza Armstrong in 1850 and moved to Averasboro, NC, where they established a lifelong residence. Mr. Stewart is described for pardon as a man who had "...fair complexion, dark hair, and black eyes, is 6 feet____inches high..." Pages 14 and 15 In the census of 1860 Neill S. Stewart listed his occupation as "Farmer" and the value of his real estate at $9000.00 plus a personal estate of $10,000.00. There is no record of his listing in the 1870 census but the 1880 census records him as a "Farmer" and in addition to his family members were listed the following as residing in his household: Claud Atkinson, a twenty- five year old female niece: Loucendy Turner a sixteen-year old female black servant; and George McLeon, a twenty-one year old black male servant. Neill S. and H. Eliza A. Stewart were parents of four children--three daughters and one son. The son, Neill M., died while still a young man leaving no descendants to carry on the family name. The daughters were (1) Mary Shaw who married Mr. Green and established residence on the North side of the Stewart plantation. (Their descendants still reside in our area today in the persons of Mrs. Mary Ballentine of Erwin and Misses Cornelia and Louise McLaughlin of Lillington. These ladies are the great-granddaughters of Neill S. and Eliza A. Stewart); (2) Ellen W. who married Mr. Whitaker and established residence in Raleigh, NC; (3) Negelena (probably a namesake for her fathers's sister) married late in life to Mr. H. V. Moulton and they resided in the Neill S. Stewart home which she inherited. There were no children from this marriage. ..........

Good morning from St. Louis, MO. Is there someone who can do some back issue look-ups of ACP? Sue J

I'd love that information as well.......also, does anyone know if there are records of property that was seized in Scotland during the later 1600s uprisings? Thanks, Sally Kasey

I have a book Records of Emigrants from England and Scotland to NC 1774-75. will do lookup. Cape Fear area. Lori

does anyone know where I could obtain lists of Scots who fought at Culloden? I have the record that the father of an ancestor fought there, but the man who gave the information hasn't been very communicative about where he got the information.
