Hello Steven,
Yes, there is no doubt that Grierson and MacGregor were used
interchangeably during the "bad times", when it was an offence to carry
the name MacGregor. However, whether Grier/son is actually a derivative
form, or alternatively a parallel development with, MacGregor is still
being debated. Once upon a time I argued the way you have, but now I'm
not sure at all.



David - what do you think of this name - Greggerson. The family claims they
are Irish but the surname doesn't appear spelled that way anywhere in
Ireland. But there are a lot of Griersons in the Griffith's Valuations in
Ireland. There are a few males from this family living in St. Louis, MO.
