I am very interested in your McCrainey/McRaine/McCrain line. My line goes through Alexander Clark of Moore Co, but after his first wife Margaret Thompson died, he married Margaret McRaine. It's believed she is connected to this line of Murdock, though I have never been able to find anything on her besides the marriage information (someone found the record at the archives in NC). I believe they married in 1813. Alexander Clark's family is still unfound, but we believe he came from Scotland. There was a Bible which has been passed down over the years, and one of the Clark relatives still has it in Calloway Co Kentucky. The Bible has information written in it about Alexander's family, but not his siblings or parents. Alexander was in Moore Co as of 1784 or close to that date. He helped establish Buffalo Presbyterian Church....their first meeting was in a barn on his property. One of Alexander's daughter's married an Alexander Shaw. I haven't worked on this line in a while. ~Mary ----- Original Message ----- From: "Billie Powell" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, January 25, 2007 11:05 PM Subject: [NCCUMBER] Shaw, McCraney, Robinson > My Colin Shaw came to Cumberland County, NC from the Isle of Jura, > Scotland, about 1744.

Dear Mary, I have the first copies of Argyle Colony Plus, published by the late Col. Vic Clark. His first records on a Clarke Bible states that The Henry W. Foote Sketches of N.C. states that an Alexander Clarke arrived in the upper Cape Fear region of N.C. in 1739, from the Isle of Jura off the west coast of Scotland. Many names are mentioned. I will be glad to copy and snail mail this info and more that is in the books, if this is the one you are looking for. Sincerely, Ruth M.

Hi Ruth. I had contact with Col Vic Clark several years ago before his passing. He thought that our Alexander was connected, but didn't know how. He was not well at the time, and just told me to ask around for those records. The problem is that Alexander Clarke who came in 1739, is not the right one. My Alexander is documented in about 1784 on Buffalo Creek. He married Margaret Thompson first (no records), and then Margaret McRaine in 1813 in Cumberland Co. Several of his children left Moore Co, and moved to Calloway Co Kentucky. I think Alexander died before 1830. If you have anything regarding Alexander Clark who lived on Buffalo Creek....that is the right one. Other than that, I cannot prove any other family relationships. Thanks. ~ Mary ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ruth Scruggs" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, January 26, 2007 8:13 PM Subject: Re: [NCCUMBER] Shaw, McCraney, Robinson > Dear Mary, I have the first copies of Argyle Colony Plus, published by > the late Col.
