Our families do not appear to be connected but there is a remarkable link in that we too are descended from a Duncan Mc Naughton of Dalchonzie (baptised 1748). Dalchonzie is/was not a town but a farm and in the times of our families being there it formed one of many such small farms of the Drummond Estate and was home to approx 35 people of all ages (Statistics of Forfeited Estates 1758), The chances of more than one family in this group being Mc Naughton and who passed on the name Duncan could indicate a connection in a previous generation, despite the later difference in spelling. Unfortunatly I have no records of my family prior to our 1748 Duncan. At the 'White Kirk in Comrie there are several Mc N stones and monuments, one group of newer stones circa 1880's commemorate the family of John of Mailermore Farm (grandson of our Duncan of Dalchonzie and my GF x 2), just in front of John's stone are two old, flat stones that are now virtually unreadable apart from a faint 'McN'; these stones however are recorded in the book 'Monumental Inscriptions Pre 1855' and read as follows: #1. ..... Mc Naughton in Dalchonzie died 1729. #2. Duncan Mc Naughton tenant in Dalchonzie ...... to mo...... Mullion Oct ...... Mullion ag 1m ...... Comrie. I couldn't tell from the stones if the obliterated text (shown as dots above), would have been just letters, whole words or even entire lines but it would seem that we had a Mc N pass away in Dalchonzie in 1729 and that a 'Duncan' from there perhaps laid a stone for his wife (nee Mullion?) and child. Do these dates and/or names connect to anything that you have? Also good to know that the New Zealand chapter of the Clan is getting larger all the time. 48 Sat July 15 2006 - 19:42:00 Fullname: Bronwen (again) Email: b1b2j3@hunterlink.net.au Where are you from?: Australia Homepage Name: Homepage URL: Comments: Heres me saying it was said to not have any connection here and I went back & checked- this McNaughton is mine and he had NZ & Australian connections.

Your Brothers would be happy. My McNaughtons, McArthurs, Muirs & Bannatynes were nearby Scotland, but sadly not yours. A good while away the time read. A great approach of telling the story of your Family. Loved the walking off the pier one..thank you...Bron Back to leo's genealogy chamlevarre@yahoo.com 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 >>
