Hello fellow secendants of NC Scot Settlers If you would like to have a free sample back issue of the ARGYLL COLONY PLUS the Journal of the North Carolina Scottish Heritage Society -- now in our thirteenth year -- just send me your snail mail address. Best regards, Col. Vic. Clark

Some activity in *another* list that I manage has prompted me to change the welcome message that all new subscribers get. This change will also affect ncscots-L, as I'm not keen on having separate rules for different lists. I'm sending it out here for the benefit of current subscribers...this is the changed part: ***IMPORTANT*** Since starting NCSCOTS-L several years ago, I really have had very few problems. But the list has grown to the point where some ground rules need to be laid out. If you choose not to play nicely with others, you will be banished from the list. Discussions that go off-topic happen occasionally. Sometimes a message is CC'd to the list by accident. When this happens, I'll send a message to the list reminding everyone to keep to the subject. Time does not permit me to send separate reminders to every individual involved. If you choose to ignore me and send out another off-topic message anyway, whether you started the thread or just chimed in later, you will be banished. And please, don't add to the chaff by sending out "Stop sending these messages" messages. Too, I do not accept suggestions as to who needs to be exiled. I know this sounds harsh, but there are hundreds of list members here that deserve and expect a well-managed list. My job is to make it happen. -----end quoted material------- Send any replies to me, not the list! btw@usa.net ncbeach@ncbeach.net

All of you who receive the NCSCOTS-L material -- Please print yourself a copy of the following for future reference. John Lister, About 10 days back I sent great details re the North Carolina Scottish Heritage Society and its Journal THE ARGYLL COLONY PLUS TO NCSCOTS-L Here in nutshell is a little about the AC+ and NCSHS. To join the Society and receive the AC+ send your check for $30 to: Anne Landin FSA Scot Treasurer NCSHS 1690 Plainfield Church Rd. Siler City, NC 27344 We publish March, July and Nov. 13 years of back issues are available at $30 per calendar year.

Donations to the stamp fund won't turn away. John, Many of the families that you are researching such as McGugan, McMillan, McFadyen, McNeill, Blue, Bethune Campbell were in the old Argyll Colony and have been covered either in the AC+ or in the several books that we have edited. Join the NCSHS today. Regards, Col. Vic Clark

Nora, I hope you received my e-mail re the North Carolina Scottish Heritage Society, its Journal THE ARGYLL COLONY PLUS that I sent to NCSCOTS-L recently. I am not a professional genealogist. For the past 14 years have edited the AC+ and helped edit a few books on NC Scots. I included info on books in e-mail to NCSCOTS-L. There is a lot of McLeod information, including several Murdocks in our 650 page book CORRESPONDENCE AND DOCUMENTS PERTAINING TO THE BETHUNE, KEAHEY, MCLEOD, MCFARLAND PATTERSON and other Related Scottish Highlander Families of North Carolina. We have recently found a source of information on North Carolina Mcleods and are serializing it in the Argyll Colony Plus. Our last issue had 20 pages and the next will have about the same. It tells how the McLeods lived in Skye and about their coming to settle in the area of what is today Ft Bragg, NC. There are Murdocks mentioned. I don't have time to research for you -- just telling you where you might find what you are searching for. Happy Hunting, Col. Vic Clark

I am looking for the family of Murdock McLeod b. 1785 NC. Moved to GA. May have been married before but married Sarah b. 1810 GA. Children: Mitilda, Sarah Ann, George, Andrew Jackson, Baneta, William. Living in Baker Co., GA in 1850. Part of Baker Co. became Mitchell Co. in 1857. If anyone is connected to this family line please contact me. Nora

Regartds -- Judy >> A list I have of the septs of Clan MacKenzie does not include MacKimsey; however, I am merely a family clan member. You could subscribe to Clan-Mackenzie-L@rootsweb.com and ask the clan chief or his lieutenants themselves about this family name. If you simply want to get in touch with the office you listed above, there is a great article explaining all about it in THE FAMILY TREE newsletter from Ellen Payne Odom Genealogy Library. See if it has the same information on their website at www.teleport.com/~binder/famtree.shtml. Good luck....you can also go to www.clanmackenzie.com and it has a list of septs. www.tartans.com might let you search for the clan it is a sept of if you can't find it with mackenzie.

In April 1932 a brochure was produced which was addressed to the living descendants of Malcolm PURCELL and Beatrice TORREY Purcell and the living descendants of Daniel McEACHERN and Beatrice TORREY Purcell McEachern as well as all living TORREY relatives in North Carolina and living descendants of those who migrated to Mississippi and Louisiana. This was a fund raising effort composed of the Robeson and Cumberland County committees of the Colonial Dames of America which were "...promoting the project of erecting, on State Highway No. 22, in or near the present city of Fayetteville, North Carolina, a granite marker in memory of Malcolm Purcell and Beatrice Torrey Purcell, Revolutionary patriots. Former Governor Angus Wilton McLEAN of North Carolina, one of the descendants of Malcolm and Beatrice Torrey Purcell, was involved in this fund raising undertaking on behalf of the Colonial Dames. The granite marker was to be erected near the spot on the Cape Fear River where Malcolm Purcell was allegedly killed in 1776 by the Tories. It was to include a suitable inscription commemorating the patriotic services of "...these early patriots". A few years ago I contacted the Colonial Dames of America via snail mail to try and determine whether the granite marker had ever been erected. To my knowledge there is no record of its existence in Cumberland County. No one with the Colonial Dames had any memory of this project nor were there any extant records or minutes that may reflect on the success of this cause. Surely someone must know something about this effort. Perhaps there is an account in one of the Fayetteville or Lumberton newspapers. Why was the granite marker never erected? It was supposed to have been dedicated, according to the brochure, in late May or early June of 1932 or 1933. Contributions for this project were to be sent to Miss Genevieve McMILLAN of Red Springs, North Carolina. Other members of the committee included:John E. PURCELL of Atlanta, GA who was chairman; Dr. A. E. BAKER of Charleston, S. C.; Walter McNEILL of Lakeland, FL; Mrs. George T. BULLOCK of Red Springs, N. C.; Judge N. A. SINCLAIR of Fayetteville, N. C.; Archibald McEACHERN of Raeford, N. C.; Mrs. Lou FULMORE of Wilson, N. C.; Miss Beatrice SINCLAIR of Raeford, N. C.; and Dr. A. C. BETHUNE of Raeford, N. C. I would appreciate receiving any new leads which I can follow-up to try and unravel this mystery to include any new contacts with the Colonial Dames of America from Cumberland County and Robeson County. On request I will be happy to mail a copy of the brochure which explains in more detail the purposes for which the money was being solicited. Monies were also requested for several grave restorations. Thanks very much for any help offered.

Would like to communicate with descendants of Alexander Torrey PURCELL (1808-1882) of Robeson County, North Carolina. He married Harriet Newell Turner McINTYRE (1817-1896) on February 9, 1837 and they had the following children: Mary Eliza (1838-1900; married Dr. Daniel SHAW); Charles Alexander (1840-1914; married Martha McKellar Lane WILLIAMS); John Edwin (1842-1921; married Margaret Cornelia McCALLUM); Caroline Amanda (1845-1914;married Archibald McLEAN); Harriet McIntyre (1849-1904; married James Dickson McLEAN). I am preparing a history of the PURCELL family and would like to update the material on this family found in "Lumber River Scots and Their Descendants" which was published in 1942. I am also trying to locate a photo or painting of Alexander Torrey PURCELL. Thanks for any help offered.
