A post from C McCown to the L21 list has a link to this which is
interesting and in the subject of surnames and likely pertinent to
M222 or some of the names listed below. L21 group 1426C apparently
has a SNP! This is from his post: "McCowns believe themselves to be
Scotch-Irish... aka Ulster Scots that came to American( VA and PA )
in the early 1700s. Since there seem to be ties Clan MacLellan, I
think this is a Galloway/Scot Borders type."


You'll find several of the 1426C surname matches on this list.

The following is an excerpt from THE ANCESTORS OF THE SCOTCH-IRISH by
Joseph Condit McCune, published in Western Pennsylvania Historical Magazine,
volume 49, (1966), pp. 328-329. McCune argues that not only were the
Scotch-Irish of Presbyterian Lowland stock but that they came
exclusively from
the southwest region, Galloway. This was, of course, the area where the
the Covenanters were most prevalent and, according to McCune, these people
are the ancestors of the Scotch-Irish of America. A very interesting and
partially convincing argument but the list of names, however intriguing,
suggest some of the problems as well. His point is that about two thirds
of the
same names for Galloway appear on the 1790 census for Pennsylvania. However,
he does not account for the fact that many of these names could also be
English and Irish. W. John Shepherd.

Pennsylvania anterior to the taking of the first United States Census in
