Denning name......... Scottish or Irish? Posted by: <A HREF="http://genforum.genealogy.com/cgi-genforum/email.cgi?005336596">Steve Kazan</A> Date: August 26, 1998 at 22:19:31 of 942 I have read (and heard from my elderly aunt) that the Dennings were originally from Scotland. One source says the original name was Denoon, a sept of both the Campbell and Ross Clans. However, every imigrant with the name I ever saw was listed from Ireland (perhaps part of the transplanting of Scottish Highlanders to Ireland???). I tend to believe in the Scottish origins since my most distant ancestors I can trace were Presbyterian (not definite proof, I know). Has anyone out there ever traced thier Denning line all the way back to Scotland ? If so what part. Obtw, I once saw the Denning name listed with the Scottish Genealogical Society as being from Strathearn. Any comments??????

Surnames: ALEXANDER Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/EgC.2ACE/8197.7.1.1 Message Board Post: This MI record interests me very much because I am fairly certain that the parents of David Alexander who married Janet Craigie were Thomas Alexander and Marjory McDougal. There is a record of birth of David Alexander, son of Thomas Alexander in the year 1758 in Alyth parish. From various maps, it appears that Kinkedly is located within a few hundred meters of Bamff. Thomas Alexander and Marjory McDougal were married June 1751 in Blairgowrie, Perth. And thus the marriage date agrees for the appropriate time period for David's birth. I believe David was first married to Isabell Malloch July 7, 1793. The marriage record reads "1793 - This Parish David Alexander Tenant in Kinkeadly and Isabel Mulloch, daughter of the deceased Tho Mulloch late in Fgal? presently residing in Lea...? Parish of Blairgowrie to be Proclaimed 7th July David's second wife, Jean Craigie was Christened July 19, 1767 in Blairgowrie, the daughter of Patrick (Peter) Craigie and Janet Spalding from Clayquhat, Blairgowrie. I hope to find more information on the Alexander's from the areas of Kinkedly and Bamff, and I am always appreciative of any information that anyone might be able to provide. Thanks again, Glenn.

There is a Rowan Springs, Rowan Road, etc. and I go to church with a fine fellow named Raymond Rowan.This set of Rowans were early pioneers out of East Tennessee and along with several old Scottish family names moved south together from East Tennessee after the first Creek Indian war (circa 1818). My wife and I went to Scotland several years ago and went to Castle Lachlan on Loch Fyne. We stayed in an inn at Cairndow near the head of the Loch. We checked the local cemetery for kinfolks and the first tombstone we saw belonged to a Rowan. I don't know if their is any significance as to names but the Clan McLachlan plant sometimes worn in the bonnet is a sprig of Rowan Tree. It seems that by the late 1700's there were McLaughlins/McLachlans all over Scotland. I think I am going to have to rely on ships records to ever hope to find a connection. I thank you for your help.
