Hi, This may be of (slight) interest to those of you who are interested in the Huet line. I married Renee Huie six months ago. We've discovered that the name was originally Huet, and the family was Protestant (Huguenot), which wasn't such a good thing in France in the middle ages. A branch of the family left for Scotland in 1572, and the name was corrupted into Huie and Howie. That branch came to the US in the 1700's, emanating from both Scotland and Ireland. There is at least one web site (Scottish) devoted to the Huie name,http://www.fan.net.au/~bosun/ (it's pretty good, with lots of historical background) and another devoted to Howie. Here are two emails related to the family's origins and history: "HUIE-L Archives From: Dibby Allan Green <green@taxlawsb.com> Subject: Re: Information on Huie name Date: Mon, 11 Oct 1999 23:38:56 -0700 In-Reply-To: 3791BC0D.302E@lcc.net At 11:35 AM 07/18/1999 +0000, you wrote: >I am a Huie by Birth and would like any information of origin of family >name. This is a long overdue answer! For my family line (through maternal grandmother), which come from Aberdeenshire and Boarders area of Scotland, and then some immigrating to Australia and New Zealand, the family tradition is that they are French Huguenots. My grandfather wrote that the Huies fled France for Scotland on the eve of the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre, which would be August 23, 1572 (the feastday being August 24th). My grandmother grew up in New Zealand with French still spoken in the home. Two distant cousins I've located also have heard of the French or Huguenot tradition. One cousin in NZ made contact with a Huie who immigrated to America from Dumfries, Scotland, in the early 1800's and he has 1943 correspondence of a Huie referring to Huguenot original and indicating the name was originally spelled "Huet." He also has a 1917 letter stating, "... the Huies were descended from some Huguenot brothers who fled from France at the revocation of the Edict of Nantes (1685)." (After St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre and some persecution, there was a period of peace for French Huguenots with the Edict of Nantes; however, when it was revoked more persecution started and that is when vast numbers of Huguenots immigrated to the UK, America and elsewhere.) I've been able to prove the line of myself and my NZ cousins to James Huie who married Mary Gordon 1788, records in Dunse, Berwickshire (Mary's home) and Monymusk, Aberdeen (where James worked as a revenue officer), later the family moved to St. Nicholas Parish, Aberdeen. My cousin has information that another ancestor in 1909 established 5 more generatons of James Huie's back to James H'uy of Crannach (Baiffshire?) who married Margaret Longmoor in 1684. This is someone who researched the records in person in Baniffshire in 1909, so it sounds trustworthy, but neither myself nor my cousin yet have proof of the links. But if true, we're getting close to the French connection..... I've also researched several histories and have yet to find accounts of French Huguenots in Scotland as early as the 1570's. However, Black's "Surnames of Scotland" does refer to Huies in Aberdeen the latter part of the 16th Century, and this is consistent. On the other hand, Black attributes the name to Argyllshire and Gaelic origins. He says it is an abridged form of Macilghuie or Macilguie, which is from Mac Gille dhuibh, "son of the black lad." He notes that Arthur and William Huie were tenants of the Marquess of Huntley in 1605 [this is consistent with my family as the 1700's have several marriages with Gordons]. He also mentions an Andrew M'Ahoy in Seater, Caithness, being "put to the horn" in 1605; and also an Andrew McHui in Moy and John and Donald McAhuies in Seater, Cathiness, in 1607 mentioned in Privy Council records. Another researcher passed on to me a letter dated 9 August 1951 from Scots Ancestry Research Society, no signature was copied to me, but the letterhead says Miss Isabel M. Allan, Secretary and Treasurer. It states, "The name Howey or Howie is certainly Scottish, deriving probably from a now obsolete place name in Ayrshire. [Speculation?] The first written reference to a person of that name in in a Charter of 1519. Robert Howe or Howie was Prinicpal of Marischal College, Aberdeen, in 1590, and there are farmers of that name both in Aberdeenshire and Ayrshire. There is a local tradition recorded that the Howies of Ayrshire sprang from a family of Waldenses who took refuge in Scotland, but no proof is offered for the belief." (There are hundreds, maybe thousands of Howies, particularly in Ayrshire; few Huies in Ayrshire, and far less Huies than Howies in Scotland generally, but my James Huie mentioned above does show up in some records as James Howie.) A second, undated (but likely equally as old) letter was also sent which states, "This very ancient surname [Howey] indicated a place of residence which was by or on a hill. In a few instances it arose from the Baptismal name Hugh. Howay is its more rare form, among the older form being Howie, Howe and Huet. It is very curious that all authorities on surnames appear to have overlooked this latter source. But it expalins the currency [occurrence?] of the name in Scotland and possibly elsewhere. John Howie who was born in Ayrshire and became the famous historian of "Scots Worthies" claimed it as the origin of his name. The tradition was that three brothers Huet came from France as persecuted Albigenses [another name for Waldenses; 12th Century "heritics," pre-dating Protestant reformation, from southern France and northern Italy] in the 12th century. They settled respectively in the Northern parishes of Mearns, and Craigie, and Lochgoin and founded families. Doubtless some Huets went further afield for there was a Sir William Huet as Lord Mayor of Londin in the 16th century. But the name in this form died out and by the next century we find how it had changed to Howie and Howey." The letter was sent to a Mr. A. Howey, and the sendor appears to have initialed a typed signature line, the copy being poor but it looks like it says Editor Sunday Mun [Sun?]. An Editor's preference to a revised edition of the book "Scot's Worthies," the revision being done by Ref. W. H. Carslaw, M.A., gives essentially the above information, and states describes: ". . . the third took up his abode at Lochgoin, a lonely farm-house in the parish of Fenwick, between Glasgow and Kilmarnock, still occupied by his descendants after the lapse of about 700 years." It states that this dwelling was often used by the Scottish Covenanters (1600-1700's). John Howie, the original author, was born at Lochgoin in 1735. I've also posted queries on a mailing list for French genealogy, and two researchers in Canada and the US also refer to the tradition that Huie came from Huet, and they were from France, but both say it has never been proven. However, one of them doing French Canadian research passed on this quote: "The surname was recorded in Tipperary where they had seated from ancient times at Ballymackeogh and were descended from McKeoghs who in turn descended from their eponymous ancestor Eochardh O'Kelly, one of the ancient Kings of Ui Maine." No source for the quote was given in the place the researcher got it from, and the researcher speculates that as Ireland is close to Argyllshire, maybe this is where Black got his Gaelic origin of the name. I've also corresponded with researchers who have Huies from Northern Ireland in the 1700's and later. But then, there were a lot of Scots in Northern Ireland, as well as the Irish. I'd love to hear of any other family stories, oral traditions, histories, and research.

Now I am not trying to be funny, nor sarcastic, but I am seeking the expert in this list, the person who considers themselves to be an authority on the Huie family. As I see it, legend has it that the family originated in France, as did the Howies and Howeys, and that they fled from persecution to Scotland. The Huets, as they were supposedly called, settled in Lochgoin, Ayrshire, Craigie, Ayrshire, and Mearns, Renfrewshire. They were welcomed into Scotland by Prince David who had recently taken over the lands of Strathclyde as was, for he thought the natives a little too rough and ready for his taste. He had been brought up in the Courts of London and considered the French more genteel. The Huets meanwhile lost their 'T' and the Lochgoin family evolved into Howie. The Howey name seemed to be more prominent in the Northeast of England, and the Huie name more prominent in Argyll. Personally I have no doubt that all three names are related, along with several other variants, but what can you tell me about the Huie family. Who is the expert, who has the biggest data base on which to base sound statistics.We are disadvantaged here in Scotland insofar as records are concerned. All our old records were lost at sea whilst being shipped back to Scotland from London. We have got to try and piece things together. What are your ideas? Can you help? Does anyone have evidence that any other name is directly related to either of the three basic family names? Your views and opinions, as always would be greatly appreciated. Best regards, Peter.
