PREFATORY NOTE

Ihis little sketch — or series of sketches — has been
prepared largely for the children and grandchildren of
David D. McNair. The history of the Clan MacFarlane
is drawn in great measure from the accounts by William
Buchanan of Auchmar (Edinburgh, 1775) and William F.
Skene (London, 1837). The story of the division of the
clan is taken from the "Celtic monthly; a magazine for
Elighlanders," published in Glasgow. For much of the
information in regard to the later MacNair (McNair)
ancestry I am indebted to Theodore M. McNair's " Genea-
logical record of the descendants of John McNair and
Christiana Walker" (Dansville, N. Y., 1880). All the
works cited in the Bibliography with the exception of this
last named volume, are in the Library of Congress,
Washington.

THE CLAN MAC FARLANE

Concerning the origin of the earls of Lennox there is
much uncertainty. William Skene, in his " Highlanders of
Scotland," tells us that during the lifetime of David I the
earldom formed a part of the principality of Cumbria, and
claims that the family of Lennox, before they acquired the
earldom, were hereditary seneschals of Stratherne and bail-
lies of the abthainrie (or abbacy) of Dull in AthoU.

We have the account of Peter Walsh, in his " Ani-
madversions on the history of Ireland," who derives their
descent from Mainus, son of the Irish king of Leinster, and
Mungenia, daughter of Fincormachus, king of Scotland.
William Buchanan of Auchmar considers this account " too
fabulous to deserve any credit," and continues, " Our own
antiquaries with far greater probability, which is also con-
firmed by a constant and inviolable tradition, derive the
origin of this ancient family from Aluin, or Alcuin,
a younger son of Kenneth III, king of Scotland, who died
in the year 994."

However this may be, we find that all historians agree
in believing that a certain earl of Lennox, also named Aluin,
had two sons, Malduin, or Maldowen, heir to the earldom,
and Gilchrist, ancestor of the MacFarlanes. About the
year 1200 Gilchrist obtained from his elder brother a grant
of certain lands of Arrochar. The charter from Maldowen,
earl of Lennox, to his brother Gilchrist, is still preserved,
and the lands at all times the principal seat of the MacFar-
lane clan, continued in their possession for six hundred years.
Arrochar is a beautiful district at the head of Loch
Lomond, situated not many miles distant from the city of

Glasgow. Buchanan, writing in 1775, says "The hurd of
MacFarlane had a very good old castle in an island of
Lochlomond, called Island-Rowglas, which was burnt by
the English during Cromwell's usurpation, and never since
repaired. He had also another pretty good house and
gardens in an island of the same loch, called Island-Vow.
But his principal residence is at Inverioch or New Farbet,
which is a handsome house beautified with pleasant gardens,
situated in the paroch of Arrochar and shire of Dumbarton
near the head of that large loch or arm of the sea called
Loch-Long, where there is excellent fishing for herring, and
all other sorts of sea-fish."

Gilchrist left issue a son Duncan, called in old charters
" Duncan filius Gilchrist," or " Mac Gilchrist," and to this
Duncan was given a charter by Malcolm, then earl of Len-
nox, confirming the grant of the lands of Arrochar. Duncan
married his cousin Matilda, daughter to the earl of Lennox
and their son was named Malduin or Maldonich.

Malduin's son and successor was named Partholan, or
Parian (Gaelic for Bartholomew), from whose name the
family assumed the patronymical surname of MacPharlan.
The three generations before this had been known as Mac
Gilchrist, from Gilchrist, brother of Malduin.

To Partholan succeeded his son Malcolm, who was in
turn succeeded by his son Duncan, sixth laird of MacFar-
lane. Soon after the death of Duncan the ancient line of
the earls of Lennox became extinct at the death in 1460 of
Isabella, countess of Lennox, whose aged father had been
beheaded by James I, king of Scotland.

Three families thereupon laid claim to the honors and
titles of the earldom of Lennox, the MacFarlanes claiming
them as heirs male, and offering powerful resistance to the
claims of the Stewarts of Darnley, who were descended
from a female branch of the Lennox family. The stout
resistance of the MacFarlanes was all to no purpose, how-

ever, and appears to have resulted in the almost total de-
struction of the clan, the chief and his family falling in
defense of the cause, and many being scattered abroad for
refuge to distant parts of the kingdom. At this juncture
the ruin of the clan was happily prevented by the support
given by one of its houses to the Darnlcy family, whereupon
its head, Andrew MacFarlane, married the daughter of
John Stewart, lord of Darnley and earl of Lennox, and was
put in possession of most of their former property.

Hereafter the MacFarlanes appear to have been loyal
supporters of the lowland earls of Lennox. Little is known
of the clan for several generations and they seem to ha\ e
enjoyed a period of prosperity, protected in the possession
of their ancient property by the powerful earls whose stand-
ard they followed. In the sixteenth century Duncan Mac-
Farlane of that ilk is frequently mentioned as an adherent
of Mathew, carl of Lennox. He was present with the earls
of Lennox and Glencairn and three hundred of his followers
at the disastrous battle of Glasgow Muir in the year 1544,
and shared in the ruin and forfeiture which followed.
Owing to the intercession of friends, however, he was
restored ami granted a remission under the privy seal. The
earl of Lennox set off for England, and having married a
niece of Henry VIII, soon after returned reinforced with
some English troops. Duncan dared not join him in person,
but sent a relative, Walter MacFarlane of Tarbet, with a
force of four hundred men. Holinshed says, " In these
exploytes the erle had with him Walter Macfarlane, of
Tarbet, and seven score of men of the head of Lennox, that
spake the Irishe and the English Scottish tongues, light foot-
men, well armed in shirtcs of mayle, with bows and two-
handed swords."

Duncan was one of the first of much consequence to
make open profession of the Christian religion in the king-
dom. He is reported to have been slain, with many of his

clan, at the battle of Pinkey in September 1547. Duncan's
son, Andrew, took an active part in the civil wars of the
time, and ranged himself on the side of the regent, James,
earl of Murray, half-brother to Mary, Queen of Scots. In
this respect his conduct differed from that of almost all the
highland chiefs, who warmly espoused the cause of Queen
Mary. At the battle of Langside, in May, 1568, he
behaved so valiantly with five hundred of his own name and
dependents, that they were acknowledged by all to be the
chief cause of the victory. The clan took in this battle three
of Queen Mary's standards, which were long preserved in
the family. The regent bestowed upon the MacFarlanes,
among other rewards, their honorable crest and motto, viz.,
a demi-savage proper, holding in his dexter hand a sheaf of
arrows, and pointing with his sinister to an imperial crown,
or. Motto, This I'll defend.

" In 1587 Andrew MacFarlane of Arrochar appears in
the roll of landlords, who were made by Parliament respon-
sible for their clans. In 1594 the MacFarlanes were
denounced as robbers and oppressors, and in 1604 the old
standing feud between them and the Colquhouns culminated
in the slaughter of the Laird of Luss, Sir Humphrey Col-
quhoun, by the chief of the clan MacFarlane. In 1608
they were declared rebels by law. This did not prevent
their following Montrose in 1644-5, and their wild pibroch,
' Hoggil-nam-Bo,' was heard in many of his battles. At
Bothwell Bridge, in 1679, they were among the foremost
in charging the gateway through which the guards charged.
In 1745 they fought gallantly for ' Prince Charlie.' "

" In the time of the last chief of the clan MacFarlane
who was laird of Arrochar . . . war broke out between
America and Great Britain. MacFarlane was heavily taxed
and was also deeply in debt. His family had been reared
in luxury. Gambling with cards was then considered respect-
able. He entertained with a princely hospitality that the

revenues of the estate could not support. He sold an estate
that he owned in Jamaica for £8000, but could not avert
the threatened ruin, and in 1784 . . . the barony of Arro-
char, which for six hundred years had been in the possession
of the MacFarlanes, passed into the hands of strangers."

" The illustrations of Robert Ronald Mclan give the
coat of arms of this family . . . and above the device,
the name as MacPharlan. In the next paragraph he writes
the name MacFarlane. Browne, in his ' History of the
Highlands,' uses the name MacPharlan and Macfarlanc.
Sir Walter Scott spells the name MacFarlane, in ' Waverly,'
and in the introduction to ' Rob Roy.' In ' Cadyow Castle '
he speaks of the ' wild Macfarlane's plaided clan.' "

(The three extracts given above are from the His-
tory of the Clan MacFarlane by Mrs. C. M. Little) .

The armorial bearings of the MacFarlanes are, argent,
a saltier engrailed, cantoned with four roses, gules, this
being the arms of the old family of Lennox, The sup-
porters (marks of nobility, allowed by the courtesy of Scot-
land to all chiefs of- clans) are two Highlanders dressed in

" The suaicheantas, or badge, is muilleag, cranberry
bush . . . The cath-ghairm, war cry, or battle shout, is
' Loch Sloidh ' pronounced sloy, the lake of the host, the
plain along its bank being the place of rendezvous for the
clan previous to an expedition."

The brilliant MacFarlane tartan is red, green, black,
and white, red greatly predominating. Clothed in such a
garb, we may well believe that when " MacFarlane stepped
forth in the bloom of his vigor, his sons marched behind like
a bright ridge of flame."

THE MAC FARLANES GATHERING

Author unknown.

Send the fiery cross swift o'er the dark glens and fountains,
Kindle the beacon on dreary Ross-Dhu;
Let hundreds blaze high on the Arrochar mountains,
The flowers of Macfarlane will soon be in view.

Bid the pibroch sound bravely through gloomy Glenfruin,
Though Macgregor be backed by the proud " Sider Roy ";
He marches to battle, he marches to ruin;
We'll welcome him there with the shout of " Loch Sloy."

When the clan is insulted — for honor's their darling —
I'hey will die on the heath if they cannot prevail;
For never a clan like the clan of Macfarlane
Trod the glen of the Saxon, or hill of the Gael.

When round by the side of Benlomond they're wending,
Their proud, stately march fills the bosom with joy;
While the pibroch its wild stormy measure is blending.
With " This Fll defend," and the shout of " Loch Sloy."

Macfarlane steps forth in the bloom of his vigor;
His sons march behind like a bright ridge of flame;
Now welcome to battle, ye sons of Clan Gregor,
Macfarlane descends to the field of his fame.

Bid the war-pipe resound through the wilds of Glenfruin;
Let the claymore in strength sweep round and destroy;
Macfarlane will fall, or Macgregor meet ruin; —
On, on to the battle, my heroes, " Loch Sloy! "

THE DIVISION OF THE CLAN AND ORIGIN
OF THE NAME MAC NAIR

* Turning now from the general history of the Clan
MacFarlane to the history of one of its branches, it is inter-
esting to note that the name MacNair (Macnayr) is said
to have appeared in documentary papers as early as 1390,
more than 500 years ago. Since the MacFarlane clan did
not receive their patronymical surname until the time of Par-
Ian, great-grandson of Gilchrist who flourished early in the
13th century, we may see at what an early date in the clan
history the MacNair sept began Its separate existence.

Alexander MacBain, In his " Etymological dictionary
of the Gaelic language " (Stirling, 191 1) is responsible for
the following statement: " Mac-nair, Gaelic M'Jii-uidhir;
for Maclain uidhir, son of dun (odhar) John [son of John
the Swarthy] . . . Such Is the source of the Galrloch
branch of the name. The Perthshire sept appears in docu-
ments as M'Inayr (1468), Macnayr (1390), which is
explained as M'an o'lghre, son of the heir, M'Niiirs in
Cowal (1685), John Maknezvcr (1596 in Dunoon), Tho.
M'Niiyer (1681, Inverness). Prof. Mackinnon suggested
M'An-fJiuibhiir, son of the smith or fabcr; nor should
M' Anfhuidhir, the stranger's son, be overlooked as a possi-
ble etymology."

The " Celtic monthly, a magazine for Highlanders "
has, in Its Issue for May 1904 an article on Major J. F. A.
McNaIr, which begins with these words: " A most interest-
ing volume could be written on clan sept names and the
stories associated with their origin. Many of these curious

departures from the parent name were occasioned by an his-
toric or personal incident, which gave rise to some pet name,
often crystalhsing in course of time into a surname more
potent than the original from which it sprung. As the
subject of our sketch this month is a distinguished repre-
sentative of an influential sept of a powerful clan, we may
be excused for referring briefly to the origin of the name.
In our March issue . . . ' Fionn ' in his sketch of the
historical clan MacFarlane, related the circumstances in the
history of that clan which gave birth to the well-known
name of M'Nair — Clann an Oighre^ whose name is con-
densed into In-uir, children of the heir. Various authorities
favor other derivations, but the above, which has the ap-
proval of Dr. MacBain, a learned authority in Gaelic mat-
ters, is generally accepted as being the most authentic, because
of its traditional origin. Arrochar, a beautiful district at the
head of Loch Lomond, being the ancient territory of the
MacFarlanes and situated not many miles distant from Glas-
gow, it Is not surprising that the M'Nairs, a leading sept of
the MacFarlanes, should be found occupying prominent
positions in the business enterprises of that city for more
than two centuries past."

The story referred to, related by " Fionn " in the March
issue of the Celtic monthly, is as follows: " About the close
of the 15th century the Clan MacFarlane was divided into
two sections, and in the clan country old people still refer
to the distinction. The tradition is given as follows in a
ms. by the late Rev. James Dewar, Arrochar. In the reign
of James III of Scotland the Laird of MacFarlane was
slain at the battle of Sauchieburn, near Stirling, in the year
1488*, leaving a widow, who was an Englishwoman, the
mother of one son. He also left a son by his first wife,
who was the heir, but this son and heir had the misfortune

* If MacBain's statement is correct thut the name " Macnayr" appears in documents
as early as 13'W we must place at least one hundred years before the battle of Sauchieburn
the story of the wicked stepmother and the loyal children of the heir.

to be proud, vain, silly and a little weak-minded. His half-
brother was possessed of a beautiful piebald horse, which
had been given to him by some of his mother's relatives.
The elder brother was about to set out for Stirling, and was
very desirous of riding this horse, wishing, as the young
chief, to make a very grand appearance. The step-mother
refused the loan of the animal, alleging, as her reason for
so doing, her fear that it would not be safely brought back.
Her denial only made the young man the more persistent.
F'inally a written agreement was drawn up, and signed by the
heir, in which he promises to forfeit to his half-brother his
lands of Arrochar, in case the horse was not safely returned.
The step-mother bribed the groom in attendance to poison
the horse on the second day from home, and the estate
accordingly went to the younger brother. The clan refused
to receive the latter as their chief, but combineci to acknow-
ledge the elder brother as such, though not possessed of the
lands of Arrochar. Some years later, by special act of Par-
liament, these lands were restored to the rightful heir. The
dependents who supported the rightful heir were known as
' Clann an oighre ' — children of the heir, hence the Mac
Nuirs and MacNairs, some of whom are now Weirs, are
regarded as septs of the Clan Farlane. On the other hand
those who supported the half-brother were called ' Sliochd
nn e'lch hhallaich' — the followers of the piebald horse."

THE ANCESTRY OF DAVID D. M^NAIR

About .the year 1690 a Scotchman by name of MacNalr
is said to have left his home on the banks of the River Dee
in Scotland, and sought a new home in the north of Ireland.
In the same year his son, John McNair (1690-1762), was
born in Ireland, county of Donegal, in the parish of
Taboyne. He married Christiana Walker (1700-1782),
who was also born in the same county, in the parish of Rap-
hoe, about eleven miles distant. Their children were Wil-
liam (1727-1823), Margaret, Robert, Andrew, John
(1738-1818), and Ann, the four elder of > whom were born
in Ireland. ;50"^;?40^

In 1738 John McNair, with his family, left Ireland and
set sail for America. His blind mother, and two of his
children, Robert and Andrew, tlied on shipboard and were
buried at sea. The others landed in Philadelphia, kind
went to Bucks County, Pennsylvania, and later to North-
ampton County, Pennsylvania, where the family lived many
years, and where John and Christiana died and were buried.

In 1798 the eldest son, William, now an old man, sought
an uncrowded home for himself and his children in the
wilderness of western New York, and coming to the Gene-
see Valley, settled in Sonyea, near Mt. Morris. In the
year 1804 John followed his brother to the Genesee Valley,
and settled with his family in what is now West Sparta,
near Dansville.

The wife of William was Margaret Wilson (1734-
1783), and their family consisted of seven children, of
whom a daughter, Margaret (1778-1831), was the young-
est. (William married as a second wife Sarah Horner,
and had four children).

John's wife was Margaret Denny (1741-1812), and
they had eleven children of whom David (1772-18 17) was
the fifth child and fourth son. In the year 1805 David
McNair and Margaret McNair were married. Their
children were William (died in infancy), John L. (1808-
1877), Margaret Wilson (18 10-1833), David Denny
(1814-1892), Phebe Torbert (1817-1904).

David D. McNair was born in the year 18 14 in the
homestead three miles north of the village of Dansville,
his father dying when the boy was only three years of age.
Early in life he engaged in the mercantile business in Dans-
ville with his brother, John L. McNair, and continued in
this business for several years. He afterwards moved to
Scottsburg, but returned to Dansville in 1866 and became
one of the incorporators of the Woodruff Paper Company,
which he served for many years in the capacity of secretary
and treasurer and business manager.

He was three times married, his first wife, Mary Brad-
ner, dying in the year 1846, at the early age of twenty-six
years. She left two daughters, Fanny Bradner and Julia
Faulkner. He later married Susan Hatmaker, of Penn
Yan, who lived but a few years, leaving one son, Clarence
Irving. In 1867 he married Sarah A. Pierson, who sur-
vived him many years, dying in July 19 10, in Forest Glen,
Maryland, near Washington. Her children were Caroline
Jessup and Mary Wilson.

D. D. McNair died January 8, 1892, in the little village
of Dansville where most of his long life had been passed.
The following words were written of him by one of his fel-
low-townsmen. " Nearly all his life Mr. McNair was a mem-
ber of the Presbyterian church, and for a quarter of a cen-
tury he served as one of the ruling elders. He was a regu-
lar representative of the church at meetings of Presbytery
and the General Assembly when delegates were sent, his
abilities always being recognized by his being placed on

important committees: his seat in the church on stated occa-
sions ol worship was never vacant unless absence from town
or severe ilhiess prevented his attendance, and in the prayer
meetings he was an able assistant to the pastor. His intelli-
gence and ability were of a high ortler and his piety none
doubted. Of him his pastor has said: ' Mr. McNair filled
a large place in the thought and atiections of the people of
our church and of the community at large. He was a man of
rare excellence, a true friend, a wise counselor, a generous
and warm-hearted brother. In his death the Presbyterian
church loses a member, than whom none was more loyal
and devoted.' "
