I descend from Gilbert McKeithan b by 1733, d aft 1812 Brunswick Co, NC. He first appeared in the New Hanover Co deeds in 1753 as a witness. He married Sarah Milliken in Prince Frederick's Parish, SC. He seems to have remained in SC for a number of years before appearing in the NC records again. I have not been able to prove his father, but I BELIEVE he was a son of Thomas McKeithan d 1745-1750 and Deborah ???. Deborah had remarried to James McRee by 1750. I believe James was the son of William McRee Sr d Duplin Co, NC. There is a record for a Deborah McKeithan 1739 in Bladen Co who might be the same Deborah. She was a near neighbor to John McIver whose name also appeared on the SC records in association with Thomas McKeithan's father, Dugald McKeithan who appeared in the SC records as early as 1732. Dugald McKeithan of SC is different from Dugald McKeithan d 1750 Bladen Co, son of Donald McKeithan 1739 immigrant. I believe Donald McKeithan the 1739 immigrant and Dugald McKeithan of SC were probably brothers as there was association between the descendants of these two lines. Has anyone researched the Scots who settled the Winyah/Georgetown/Williamsburg area of SC or Scots who arrived in the Cape Fear or Charleston area prior to 1732? Does anyone have any information on the McRee family? The dates that I have been sent for the children of William McRee Sr vary by as much as 30 years. I have heard that there were later records for James McRee in SC with wife named Ann but I don't have access to those records. Donald McKeithan 1739 immigrant owned property in the town of Old Brunswick where he was a tailor before moving to Bladen Co. It is known in our family that Gilbert McKeithan's daughter was buried at St Philip's Church in Old Brunswick along with other unnamed ancestors. It's very unlikely that Gilbert descended from Donald McKeithan even though he can be associated with Old Brunswick. Donald's children and most if not all of his grandchildren can be identified by the will of his son Dugald McKeithan d 1750 Bladen Co. The will named Dugald's father Donald, Dugald's brothers and sisters and their children. Gilbert was not named in that will so it's almost certain he was not Donald's grandson, but the will did direct that land in SC be sold. This land was in the same area where the earlier Dugald McKeithan of SC lived - another indication of a close relationship between the two lines. Gilbert's granddaughter stated that their family left Old Brunswick and went to SC. This does not agree with Donald's descendants but does agree with Dugald's family. So I am looking for some evidence of Scots in the Old Brunswick area prior to 1732 when Dugald McKeithan first appeared in the SC records. I understand a group of Scots arrived in Charleston in 1684, but this was 55 years prior to Donald McKeithan's arrival in 1739 and 48 years prior to Dugald McKeithan's first appearance in the SC records in 1732. I need something closer to 1730. Any help out there? Thanks! Cookie

Sorry about the wrong address. Just assumed you could use the one I was working on at the time. New address: http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ Click on "Search Files by State" Type in "Johnston County,NC" in query box Select "NC" Hit "Search" If this doesn't work, let me know. Joanne, New Bern,NC

Just discovered a new web site loaded with Wills, Land Grants, early censuses, and loads of Scottish people mostly in eastern NC. One site alone was about early Campbells. Wanted to pass it on. http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/isearch2 Joanne H. New Bern,NC

I have a couple of questions I hope somebody can help me with. My gggg-grandfather, Major James Frazor/Frazier was born in 1759. One record said he was born in Tennessee which would have been impossible because TN was still a part of NC in 1759 so we assume he was born in NC. He was in the NC Militia and sent to TN to protect the settlers from in the 1780's. He received land grants from NC for this service. I figure his father must have come to the US in the 1730's or 40's but I don't know what ship. I hit a brick wall there. I don't even know what his father's name was. How do I find out what ship he came over on? I think the name then was spelled FRASER since this seems to be the most common Scottish spelling. Does anybody know how I can get around this brick wall and tell me how to go back another generation and find out who Major James Frazor/Frazier's was and what ship that family might have been on? Thanks, Ronnie Frazor

Hello, Here is a Ships list worth looking into. <A HREF="http://www.execpc.com/~haroldr/shiplist.htm">Click here: Ship Passenger Lists</A> http://www.execpc.com/~haroldr/shiplist.htm Thanks John Lester

John, where are the ships' lists? N.C. archives? Bill

There is a web site in Scotland with an article entitled FORCED EMIGRATIONS OF 1772 at http://dialspace.dial.pipex.com/town/avenue/pa44/forc.htm This sheds some light on why the emigrations started there. Some emigrations were to Prince Edward Island, Canada or Nova Scotia, some to North Carolina, probably many others. There is a book titled Flora Mac Donald : The Most Loyal Rebel available from Amazon.com which describes some of the emigrations you refer to to North Carolina. You can read about THE FLORA MACDONALD PROJECT at the following web site: http://www.shef.ac.uk/uni/academic/A-C/ap/arcus/projects/flora.html I am descended from the Monk family in Newton Grove NC which emigrated to there in the time frame you are interested in. If you go there, you can visit the old house of my great grandfather which was restored. My older brother is doing research on our family history and may be able to respond with some info. (He is on bcc to this. ) *********************************** Gloria Bronte Lane wrote: > I haven't been on this list, and I'm trying to find out if there were > immigrant ships coming into that area between 1830 and 1840, and if so how > to find out more information.

Unscribe on vacation for month

I haven't been on this list, and I'm trying to find out if there were immigrant ships coming into that area between 1830 and 1840, and if so how to find out more information. Anybody know? Thanks much - Gloria

Hello, This does not have anything to do with Scottish Genealogy, but if you will look through this site, you will find a Scottish Thistle which you can enlarge among other things. I hope you enjoy it as the art work is unusual. <A HREF="http://www.mcn.net/~acflynn/clip.html">Alice's nature clip art</A> Thanks John

[Unable to display image]Hello I thought you might like to have this even though it has nothing to do with Genealogy Thanks John

Sidney, Have you checked any of the ships list coming into Wilmington or Charleston from Scotland? Thanks John Lester

I'm new to this listing. Having "watched" it for a while, I'm impressed. I have reached a brick wall with the following and was hoping some one could point me in the right direction. James McCoffee/McAfee is mentioned in 1790 Federal Census of Pitt Co. NC, single free white male. The next reference to him is found in the 1830 census of Washington Co. GA.. He arrived there circa 1825, with his oldest son Arthur T. McAfee. His other children, James Jr., John, Jesse, and Eason, soon followed. All the boys are listed a being born in NC and were born between 1800 and 1822. Any reference to how James arrived in NC, where he came from in Scotland or who he married would be appreciated. I have tried working forward and backward from 1790, obviously not in the right place. I do know he is not the Antrim Co. Ireland group. Thanks Sydney McAfee Ewers

Sue, I'm sorry but don't have information on your John McAlester, but have the following information on the 'Thistle of Saltcoats' if you don't have so far. Thistle of Saltcoats, master Robert Brown, from Campbelltown, via Gigha, to Cape Fear, North Carolina 28.6.1739 (SG 32.1.7/37.1) SG=Scottish Genealogist (SRO CE82.2.79) SRO Scottish Records Office Ron -----Original Message----- From: F122775@aol.com [mailto:F122775@aol.com] Sent: Saturday, July 17, 1999 3:07 PM To: CAPE-FEAR-SCOTS-L@rootsweb.com Subject: John McAlester-Argyll Colony-1739 arrival I keep looking and looking and looking for reference to John McAlester, listed in several places as a verified member of the Argyll Colony, arriving on "The Thistle of Saltcoats" with Hector and Alexander McAlester. No hint, so far, as to his relationship to them. His wife was Anne, and I assume, came with him, along with children Flora McAlester (later married Stephen Phillips), Angus McAlester, Catherine McAlester (married 1-Neil McNeil and 2-Alexander Gregory), Margaret McAlester (married a Mr. Shaw), and Jane/Jenett McAlester (married a Magnus Cowan). At least some of the children, if not all, must have been born in Scotland and come over with their parents. Does anyone have information on these folks??? Or clues on where to look? I'd be very grateful! Sue Folawn/San Mateo, CA (5 greats grand-daughter)
