Re variations on names. An authority pointed out to me that Donald is often entered as Daniel on census records and other records. His explanation is that in the early years here in America, the census taker had difficulty in understanding names because of the heavy Scottish burr (accent). I wonder if this also accounts for some of the variations of MacQueen.

My grandmother told me that my 3-great grandfather John McQueen spelled his surname McQuien. I do not know where he was born, only that he apparently married in Cumberland County, North Carolina, in 1814. With hand written documents going on two centuries old it's hard to be sure but I believe that I found that spelling in some documents naming him or his children, but I also found McQueen and McQuean. In most cases I've had to work with a transcription, though... and that opens a whole new layer of possibility for error.

My John McQueen married in Cumberland County, North Carolina, in 1814, to Sarah McMullen, and they had two sons that I know of, named John A. and ANGUS, and one daughter that I know of named Mary. That's not much to go on, Scots named Angus are probably about as common as grits are in Georgia. But, we have one point of commonality there... no, two I guess... a place in common (more or less) and one first name in common. Alexander was a common name in my family but it came down through the Autrys and I don't know if it also coincidentally came down through the McQueens. My 2-great grandmother Mary McQueen married John English Autry. Talk about Johns... John English grew up in a household of at least 3 Johns... his father John Autry and his half brother by his mother Barbara Rebecca McMillan (McMurchey/Murphy the name was changed) Autry, John Murphy. In addition, the tradition is that his father John was the son of John Autry, a Revolutionary War captain in Georgia, and that John, Jr. had another son named John by a previous wife before he married Barbara. A lot of descendants figure that the Autrys were Scottish, but a few favor them having been French at some point or another. All I know is that they sure seemed to marry women of Scottish descent.

Dawn, I enjoyed your message. Yes, the naming conventions of Scots does help... sometime. I have been struggling with my ggfather, Alexander McQueen. No middle name available nor an initial. To further complicate things, it seems that almost every branch on the McQueen tree has an Alexander with no middle name. His mother was a Margaret Martin. A widow, she arrived in N. Carolina around 1802 with 3 sons, Donald, Alexander, Angus and a daughter, Flora.. Any suggestions welcome.

With regard to Richard's email and the name 'John'. Scottish Ancestry is such that the naming protocol of children is determined by their parentage and ancestry and usually follows a very set pattern. One helpful key to sorting out your 'John' would be to look at the middle name - which is frequently the surname of the mother. In my husband's case, he is John Stewart Macqueen - which is his grand father's name and the Stewart being taken from his great grandmother (Elizabeth Stewart). It is the simplicity of the naming conventions which makes Scottish ancestry so easy to do (relative to trying to find english ancestors). sincerely Dawn Macqueen, Worcs, England Interests: Lowland Scotland - Macqueen, Stewart, Whyte, Hamilton, Wallace, Boyd

Richard, are you saying the whole post looks suspicious? I think you may be right!!! I have a father named John McQueen now deceased of course. He would be over 100 if he were alive today. I cannot find any clues to any of my family having emigrated to USA. I can only find them in Scotland and Liverpool or Dublin where I was born. I am only seeking ancestors in those places but cannot go back any further. Some McQueens in USA may be distantly related to me but I can't find any links, too far back. Cheers, Patricia in S.F.

Scotland has more McQueens but the English tried to stamp out the Mcs and the clans altogether but some used them despite that.

According to his application for a RW pension, Alexander McQueen stated he was born in Culpeper County, VA 17 March 1751. He started his service as a member of a company of minute men in said county and served successive enlistment throughout the war. He lived in Culpeper County until 1829 after which he moved to Ohio. We believe Alexander was the son of Alexander McQueen and Henrietta Cooper and he had siblings named Charles William and Susan. Susan married Isaac Green. A DNA project for McQueen and alternate spellings has been established at Relative Genetics, _www.relativegenetics.com_ (http://www.relativegenetics.com) . Preliminary results show interesting relationships between persons descended from Alexander and Henrietta (Cooper) McQueen and we would very much like to to include descendants of their son Alexander who went to Ohio in the study. We are asking for your help in finding them. . Thank you. Maxine Daly
