Hi Larry, yes many with North American roots going back to Britain have the same problem as yourself in that they can't make the connection to the homeland and those who read clan histories would assume that there Mac/Mcpherson roots are from Badenoch and Strathspey however McPhersons branches have been found all over Scotland and even Ireland in my own case my Craignish McPhersons may in fact be descended from The Campbell McPhersons of Craignish the descendants of Dugald Campbell the parson reputed third son of Colin Campbell of Lochowe these descendants went by the patrionimic of Clandowill the sons Dugald The Parson. There is a book on the history of the Clan called " The Posterity of the three brethren" The progenitors of the Badenoch Macphersons. author Alan G.
