Keith: I have heard the same thing many times, and usually when that occurs, there is a grain of truth to it. According to "The Clans and Tartans of Scotland" book by Robert BAIN, "The Clan MACQUEEN were of West Highland or Hebridean origin and originally appear to have been associated with Clan DONALD. The name is found in many forms, CUINN, SUIBNE, SWEYN, MACCUNN, MACSWEEN, MACSUAIN and MACSWAN." Bain went on to say, "MACQUEENS, MACSWANS and MACSWEENS are numerous in Sky and Lewis, and the MACQUEENS held the lands of Garafad in Skye for several centuries." Bain concluded his short dialogue with, "Robert MACQUEEN, Lord BRAXFIELD, the eminent lawyer, belonged to a Lanarkshire family of MACQUEENs. His reputation as a judge of political prisoners was not a flattering one." After reading that, one can't help but wonder if perhaps Lord BRAXFIELD turned on his own clansmen at some point in time...?

Any help would be appreciated

The nearest I can get to the origin of the McQueen name is through the Norse invaders, one /some of whome settled in the Isle of Skye and that of Raasay and had a personal name of Sveinne which became corupted to son of Sween then son of Queen through to McQueen (it is interesting to note that of the McQueens who fought and were captured two were with the MacLeods - Angus McQueen from Raasay and Angus McQuinn from Skye). Some of the Raasay MacLeods fought against the instructions of their Chief (who had in fact raised a battalion for the Government!) and were put in with the MacLachlans and MacLeans in Clan Chattan under Lord John Drummond and were in the front line. In 1410 the McQueen's were part of the Clan Chattan Band and in 1609 were granted land and a minor clanship at Moy near Inverness under John McQueen of Little Corrybourough and Sween McQueen of Raigbeg.

Hey Ken: I've been guilty of lurking -- haven't had much heart for genealogy since my mother passed away on Memorial Day weekend. She was the one that got me hooked on genealogy when I was in my early teens and always encouraged me to explore history. She was always very interested in her "roots" -- namely, the McQUEENs and HOYEs. All that she knew, unfortunately, was what her grandmother had told her, which wasn't much since the grandmother had been orphaned at an early age. All my great grandmother knew was what her older siblings had told her. Anyway, over the years I've done a lot of thinking about the name McQUEEN. We all know, am sure, that "Mac/Mc" means "son of..." I know this is really far-fetched and I have no basis on which to make this statement, *but* McQUEEN would translate into "son of QUEEN" (the English translation). I will leave the rest of the implication to the active minds of this list's excellent researchers. As for the possibility of McQUEENs coming to America in 1716, that's not such a far-fetched idea.... If I may, here's a quote from some research I found on the Internet: "1717.. The Exodus of the Scotch-Irish from Ulster to America *now begins in earnest.* Five thousand Ulstermen leave for America that year. Between 1717 and the American Revolution, approximately a quarter of a million Scotch-Irish will leave Ireland for America. Approximately 100 years after the original Ulster plantations have been planted they have succeeded... and they have also failed. In 100 years, Ulster had been transformed from a totally obliterated landscape to a respectable area with an economy that produced goods. Plagued by high rents, four years of drought, English import/export policies, and the religious factor thrown in (although religion wasn't a prime motivating factor in the Scotch/Irish migration as it was, say, with the Puritans.), many Scots look for a better life in America." "It is interesting to note that even though the Catholic Irish endured many of the same hardships as their Northern counterparts, the Catholic Irish did not participate in this Exodus. The emigration was 99% Protestant, Ulster-Scots leaving for the America's. Although there were Catholic Irish who fled to other Catholic countries, principally France and Spain." SOURCE: "Our Scotch-Irish Heritage" by Norris M. Taylor, Jr. on his web site: http://members.aol.com/ntgen/hrtg/scirish.html There was a Daniel MCQUEEN banished to the American Plantations in Antigua on 30 March 1716 aboard the Scipio, with John SCAISBRICK as master. As a side note, there were a good number of MCQUEENs transported during this time. The following is from a cousin who has spent a great deal of time and money in researching the origins of Daniel MCQUEEN, and this is what he had to say in an email I received from him earlier this year: "Since everyone has tried to locate Daniel in SC, I've wondered if the problem is he originated in NC as my Dad said ( Roberson County ) just a short way up river from his eventual home with Ruth Jenkins, ( of which there is no record either ) in SC. Perhaps they were both from NC. The problem here is that no McQueens were supposedly in Roberson until the late 1700 era ( 1772 ? ) that are recorded anyway. NC has better records than SC since Union Gen Sherman only saw fit to burn everything ( all the courthouses ) in SC. A lot of McQueens were in NC, many more than in SC. I still favor NC as Daniel's beginning, and Roberson as his previous temperary home, due to my Dad's comment, the closeness of NC to SC and the river connecting them (Little Pee Dee) The comment Daniel made that he was from The Cape Fear Colony would also indicate he came to America via Cape Fear, NC. ( Wilmington ) I do not see why genealogists want to ignore the only directly quoted clues to Dan! iel's travels, and go off searching areas where no clues exist. Daniel did not dream he was from the Cape Fear Colony. He said it as a fact." Would like to read other folks' comments -- positive or negative -- regarding the above.

Thanks Keith, interesting . May I ask where you found the ships transporting McQueens to Americas? I think you are right about the mispronunciation by the Scots accent. Thats why I think the OPR in Wigtown wrote Owen Quinn instead of Owen Queen as he was named in 1841 census just four years later. It drives one made trying to sort them out though.
