Alexander Islay MacKay Friday, February 29th 2008 - 08:25:46 PM smackay@nycap.rr.com You have invigorated my interest in family history. If I can do it, I am going to insert a narrative written by my graet grandfather in the US in about 1910 about MacKay family history. Its sinificance to your family will be evident. A transcript of the handwritten document in my files, to preserve it (it is not an original, but it is all I have). I have tried to be absolutely accurate, retaining line breaks, grammar, punctuation, spellings, etc exactly as written My editorial comments are in bold Arial font (as is this) and in brackets where needed. [Note: Angus uses a stylized AEneas throughout the text that appears to be his expression of Angus: I have left it as is, but he seems to mean Angus] Alexander Islay “Sandy” MacKay Cobleskill, NY February, 2008 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ MacKay Story. Angus MacKay about 1910 -- ? He was well over 80 yrs old. [The above in a different hand than the main text; it appears that this first was added after the fact to identify the document, perhaps by one of Angus’ many kids with the balance in his own hand.] To construct a tree of Genealogy is very Necessary where people are dispersed So far from each other, that to compile an accurate account of Genealogy is hard to do; yet we Shall do our utmost to give an accurate account of our people from as early a period as possible. We must take the romantic Side first. In the year AD 84 AEneas Mac – Kay fought his Share of the Battle of the Grampian Hills against the Roman Legions under the brave General Gealchasach (or as Tasitus State it galgcus) Gealchasach was elected King of the Isles and Ross and AEneas MacKay Sttled in the Island of islay from which desended Fearghuth who was born 56 years after the battle of the Grampians and lived 106 anddied 170 AD His Son’s name was Oscar. father of Mordhan or Oisean as the great poet was named by Several writers. Oisein left a Son whos name was Coothal Osian Lived to a very old age; Coothal lived to old age also etween them they mad up 207 years. Osien lived in the early part of St patric’s life. (Ihfhag Poothal gaelic Mac a rainig 123 years Bainm do Calmair) (ach robh gaelic esen beo co fach ri athair) but he did not live to his father’s age he had a Sn Named Alexander who lived for 103 years 2. We are now in the dawn of real history. Previous of To the reptur between Bailiol and the Cumings and Bruce in the days of Sir William Wallace, there was one of the MacKay’s with him at the battal of Stirling – -bridge who’s name was Neil the father of Brian Mor or big Brian who afterward led the Highland host of the lord of the Isles to the field of Bannocburn After the victory of the Scotts at Bannockburn, when boath lowlands and highlands were in a tranquil State the King of the Isles and Ross bestowed on big Brian the Rins of Islay with a Royal Charter written by Fergus Beaton Clark register of Iona, the titledeeds are written in the gaelic Laungage, Suposed to be the only landcharter in that language In the world today. They are to be seen in Edinburgh Museum. After Big brian been Knighted all desendnts were entitled to the Baronage. Then old Big Brian died at the age of 108 years which brought in the Stuarts denizen. The next Barron’s name was Neil who lived to old age and was Succeeded by AEeneas his Son who was Slain at the battle of floden, His eldest Son was with him but escaped and came back to Islay, His name was Alexander He also lived to old age but like the rest of his progenitors He also died at an old age for all the race in the Direct line of heritage were of longevity 3. The next Barron’s name was Hugh who married Christene MacLean daughter of the Chief of the MacLeans of Mull. He took his bride from Toward Castle Then came Neil and Married Margaret MacDonald Daughter of Ronald of Ardnamurchan. The came John the unfortunate who lost His title and estate in the caus of King Charles II He was fighting popery under Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden. Gustavus was mortally wounded at the battle of Lipsig. When news was received in Sweden of the havock Oliver Cromwell was doing in Sctland John MacKay and William Leslie a brave warior and a noteable general in the Swedish army came and met Cromwell between Muzzleburgh and Edinburgh and put him to rout and retreated to Dunbar a fishing town on the East cost of East Lothians In the American inclopedia Britanic like many false Statements compiled in that vast literature it does not give A word of truth of how Cromwel was defeated by the Scotts at Muzzeburgh. Before the Scotts could a Sall number of undiceplined Soldiere Cromwell had ample time to get infantry cavely and artilary with commissary from England and had 4 for 1 of the Scotch army 4. The Scots were defeated and routed at Dunbar. they lacked artellary and ammunition hence their defeat here then John MacKay the last heir and Barron of thet family in Islay got away with his life from Dunbarand with his armour bearer Donald MacCorcudel took to the highland hills and landed at Dunvegan castle. His estate been confiscated had to com under the protection of his second cousin John MacLeod Chief of that clan who supplied him with a farm and Lord MacDonall gave him 2 farms in North Uist the farm He received from MacLeod was Called Colbost and the farms He got from MacDonald were call Clachanard and Orosay. Poor John having lost boath title and estate had to shift for himself and got married to a woman of the name of Anna Ferguson a farmer’s daughter but MacCorquite never left as long as he lived. Then came Donald his Son who married Annie Campbell of the Campbell of Barabreac Then came Neil who married Annie MacCaskill Then came John who married Chrsitina McLean Then came Hugh who married Euphemia MacDonald of the MacDonalds of Glencoe. Then came AEneas who married Euphemia Chorburn [may be Thorburn, Angus’ wife married 24 March 1868] 5. I noticed a question in a Scottish newspaper what brought the MacKay’s tartan to the Eglinton family __ the cause for this was one of the MacKays family a lady of the Name of Flora married one of the lords of Eglinton and been an anthusist introduced the tartan of he Clan into the Eglinton family; So the Sporting Spirit can easily be traced in the Eglinton family yet

Susan Prentice Sunday, November 11th 2007 - 11:56:00 PM sprentice@optusnet.com.au I have been meaning to email you for some time, in case you want to update the information on your website. My name is Susan Prentice and I am the eldest of three daughters born to Captain Roderick and Ruby Lilian MacCorquodale on the Wirral Peninsula which is near Liverpool( not Manchester). My father was the captain of the 'Esso Dakotah' before he died in 1958 after a series of strokes. As far as I know he never worked for Manchester shipping lines. He worked for Esso from the end of the war. My mother lived on without him for almost half a century. A remarkable woman, she was a celebration of life itself, until she herself succumbed to a massive stroke towards the end of 2004 and died three months later,just before Christmas.

Elizabeth Hinkledire Thursday, January 11th 2007 - 08:19:29 PM wo-li@hotmail.com Hello all, I do not mean to offend anyone but there is a web site that has a statue of a godess named Baphomet. It is said that some of the members of the Knights Templar worshipped this deity. Here is the web address http://www.themysticcorner.com/dbDisplayImage.asp?productid=4790&currpage=dbSearchPage.asp Again I do not mean to offend any one. I am sorry. Here was something else I found out about it. FALSE CHARGES One of the charges against the Templars was that of idolatry; the veneration or worship of an idol called Baphomet Various translations have been offered for the name Baphomet; Idries Shah author of The Sufis, claims that it is a corruption of the Arabic abufihamet (pronounced bufhimat) which translates as 'Father of Understanding'. Magnus Eliphas Levi the mystical writer of the last century, proposed that it should be spelled in reverse as TEM. OHP. AB. This he then construed as Templi Hominum Pacis Omnium Abbas or 'Father of the Temple of Universal Peace Among Men'.34 Another legend equates Baphomet with the severed head of St. John the Baptist who was venerated by the Knights Templar. The Atbash cipher, an esoteric code used by the Essenes to disguise the meaning of their scriptures, was applied to the name Baphomet by the Dead Sea Scroll scholar Hugh Schonfield. The cipher produced the word Sophia, the spiritual principle of Wisdom which is usually associated with the ancient Greek or early Mesopotamian goddesses. The Templar cult of the Black Madonna, black carvings or icons of the Madonna and Child, supports this concept. At first glance this cult looks like a variation upon normal Catholic practice of the time. The reality is very different however, especially when we take into account the influence of ancient Egyptian ideas on the Templars In ancient Egyptian symbolism, the colour black indicates wisdom. In the cult of the Black Madonna the Templars were venerating the Mother of Wisdom, the ancient goddess Sophia embodied in the form of the goddess Isis with the Horus child. This pagan concept was disguised as the Christian Madonna and Child. Reactions to the suppression of the Templars varied from country to country. German knights of the Order either joined the Hospitallers or the Teutonic Knights. One leading Scottish Templar, William St. Clair of Roslin, who was the great-great-grandfather of the founder of Rosslyn Chapel, was killed in Lithuania fighting for the Teutonic Knights. In Portugal the Templars were not suppressed at all, they simply changed their name to the Knights of Christ and carried on under royal patronage.38 Many years later Vasco de Gama the explorer, became a member and Prince Henry the Navigator was a Grand Master of the re-named Order. The Archbishop of Compostela made a vain plea for clemency for the brave knights by writing to the pope begging that the Templars be spared as they were needed for the Reconquista the fight against the Moors to recapture Spain for the Catholic monarchy. This pressing need for military skills, discipline and dedication to the Christian re-conquest of Spain was fulfilled in a simple way. Ex-Templars were encouraged to join similar military Orders which differed only in that they owed their allegiance to the Spanish crown rather than the pope. One Order, that of St. James of the Swordor the Knights of Santiago, was actually affiliated to the Knights Hospitaller to ensure its survival. They too became immensely powerful and controlled more than 200 commandaries throughout Spain by the end of the fifteenth century. Thus Templar influence continued in mainland Europe. In France and England some Templars joined the Knights Hospitallers, but most simply seemed to vanish. People condemned for heresy in medieval Europe shared a similar fate to the alleged dissidents condemned in Soviet Russia during the Stalinist era. The victims became 'non-persons', their records were destroyed and all traces of them and their beliefs were completely erased. The only records remaining intact are those of the persecutor, Holy Mother the Church, hardly the most even-handed or dispassionate of sources. Thus getting to grips with the reality that lies behind the romantic myths and legends surrounding the warrior knights is extremely difficult. The French local archives disclose many details of their land dealings while other documents disclosing some of their history do surface from time to time. Sincerely, Elizabeth Ann Hinkledire

Also to Al and Bill; I do hope to continue our discussion as soon as is convenient to the two of you, and would suggest that perhaps we should do so on MSN Messenger/Yahoo as you would each and/or both prefer: let me know your thoughts in this. Also, I wished to remind those of you kinsmen/cousins who would that as I am still researching other's geneologies, I will certainly consider your inquiries: especially those of family of my own as you all most certainly (and for me, gladly,) are. --All the Best to You and Yours, John.

Susan Prentice Monday, November 27th 2006 - 06:24:20 PM sprentice@optusnet.com.au I have been meaning to contribute to your information for some time. My father was Roderick MacCorquodale which I think makes us cousins. However, he did not live and die in Manchester, but on Merseyside in a place called Heswall which is on the Wirral Peninsula. It is true that he was torpedoed during the war but whether it was four times I am not so sure. Although my father died nearly fifty years ago, my mother died less than two years ago and left me all her letters (i.e. both hers and my father's). My plan is to see whether they are useful as a research resource. It would be good to hear from you.

I enjoyed much hearing from/reading your response cousin, enough so in-fact to tell abit more of what I've learned here.( well, more specifically and justly, between my eldest daughter, my great-aunt, aunt, and self,) Also, I've heard a bit of interrest from William (Bill) MacCorquodale as well. I should greatly enjoy speaking with you more on the subject sir. Unfortunately, I tried contacting you via your E-address, but to no avail: perhaps you could try by mine? Hoping to hear from you, one and all welcome of course to call/write!( I'm a very family-oriented fellow!) Also greetings and my best to our friends and relations else-where, who are family none-and-never-the-less, as always.

Alton Cyril McCorquodale Thursday, November 16th 2006 - 11:50:11 AM Cyril707@yahoo.ca http://www.geocities.com/bruce5112001/Light_Magnification_Tan.html Thank you for the excellent work you have done in compiling a history of the MacCorquodale family and Scottish history as well!I notice another registered individual was curious about the MacCorquodale family links to the Holy Blood Holy Grail.There is a couple of books you may find elucidating on this subject which are: The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail by Michael Baigent,Richard Leigh, and Henry Lincoln, ISBN: 0-09-968241-9 The Hiram Key by Christopher Knight & Robert Lomas,ISBN: 0-09-969941-9 Checkout this website Link:www.Rosslyn-Chapel.com There has been much controversy in the media surrounding the publication and showing of the film entitled ,"DeVinci Code" with relevance to the events of Jesus Christ's life.Please,permit me to provide clarification on this mystery amongst society in Scotland and the World Community. I you will open your Bible to Matthew :Chapter:28, Verse # 16, which states : " Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee on to a mountain where Jesus had designated them to go." The specific mountain referred to here in Matthew,chapter # 28 ,verse # 16 is Mt.Meron/Mt.Hare Meron which is located on latitude 33 degrees North in the province of Galilee Israel.This latitude location is correlated to Scottish Rite Freemasonry and their 33 Degree ranking ,which is the York Rite equivalent of a knight's Templar. This mountain location was spot where Jesus held his last meeting with his disciples after the resurrection.Jesus then departed Mt.Meron and left with Mary Magdalene whom was his wife and they proceeded to the Port of Tyre in Lebanon.Jesus and Mary Magdalene boarded a sailing ship which landed them at a destination in Gaul/France on the Mediterranean coast.Jesus and Mary raised a family in France which provided many descendants whose paternal family name is St.Clair/ Sinclair and this family remained in France till 1307,when as a result of persecution of the Knight's Templars by the Roman Catholic Church .The family had to flee France with the Knights Templars whom were their protectors.The St.Clair family the descendants of Jesus Christ on the paternal family branch settled in Scotland with the Knights Templars.The knights Templars brought with them the skeletal remains of Jesus Christ ,which were buried on the grounds of present day Rosslyn Chapel ,which was constructed by the St.Clair family in 1446. The Freemasons both Scottish Rite and York Rite have their esoteric and exoteric meanings they present to the public in their symbolism for example in their logo of the : Compass/exoteric , Dividers/ esoteric , Square/ exoteric , Measuring Sticks/esoteric, Letter "G" God/exoteric, Grand Geometrician / esoteric , G.A.O.T.U. ( Great Architect of the Universe ) exoteric When you research the MacCorquodale history ,you will discover inter marriages between St.Clair's thus the blood lines of certain MacCorquodale/McCorquodales can be trace to the linage of Jesus Christ as well. There is many thousands of individuals whom are descendants of Jesus Christ in many parts of the world today. I hope you enjoyed this historical update of information much in the news today with the DeVinci Code etc..Thank you for your time!

Also thought to announce the arrival of another family member: Ethan Gabriel McCorkle born in August to myself and my fiancee Elizabeth. He's a fine fellow indeed; smart,(already picking up words at three months,)and very thoughtful and observant: we are indeed proud parents. And to the family I say; great work on-site: your continued perseverance in researching the line and in posting and providing the information found is why it works so well. I am most proud to call and to know you all as family. As for myself and my own endeavors in this matter, I've found and confirmed interesting Native-American links you might care to know about: feel free to contact me on the matter. To the person who mentioned the book'Holy Blood, Holy Grail'; yes, at prompting of friends who know something of us, I did indeed scan this work: I wouldn't say to take it's meaning as"gospel"(per-sae,)however I do believe that you will find the tree-lineage shown as intriguing--and yes--much of it is legitimate record. imagine that.

In this regard I have found out this much; the family-line continues to exist on the isle of Man as MacCorkell and as MacCorkyll, that it began with Olav (Olave or Olaf)called"the Black", he being descendant of Magnus of Norway, and both being forefathers of Leod who in turn was father of Thormond( from who the line of the Harris MacLeods descends)and Thorkil( from whom our line--that of the Lewis MacLeods)descends. Any other known information provided would be much appreciated. J.W.E.McCorkle (10/24/05.)

Philip J. Dellwo Tuesday, September 27th 2005 - 03:58:33 PM pjdellwo@aol.com I have a violin made by a McCorquodale in Scotland in 1902. Does anyone know anything about this violin maker. I also have a book that was owned by Archie McCorquodale of Schenectady, NY. He died just a few years ago. I believe he was a brother or son on the violin maker.

Timothy McCorkell Friday, April 8th 2005 - 08:45:55 PM timothy_m540@yahoo.com http://www.mccorkellline.com/ Hi, You have a very nice site. I'm from the US and was told that my Grandfather John McCorkell came from Donegal, Ireland. I did a McCorkell search just out of curiosity and found the link about the McCorkell Line that is not my homepage URL but I listed it just so you could read the part about Bonnie Prince Charlie and the three MacCorquodale brothers that went to Ireland and changed the spelling of their names. Of course, I can't be sure if its Irish blarney or there may be something to it. Just thought you should be aware of what is on that link and just maybe it may tie in some how to the history of the MacCorquodale's. Thank you for all the research that you have undertaken. Best Regards, Tim
