PROEM.

This line of descent down to and including number
2 2 is fully substantiated by the Scottish chronicles and
histories of the Highland Clans. There are differences in
the manuscript genealogies left by the old Sean-a-chaidh,
or historians of the Clans which may never be definitely
adjusted, but I have used only such statements as I believe
can be substantiated by historical data. From number 22
to number 27, I have relied principally upon printed,
written, and oral statements of members of the present
''Clan MacKinlay " of the United States and Canada,
some of whom have spent years ferreting out the Clan
genealogy. From number 27 to President McKinley, I
am especially indebted to Mr. E. W. Spangler for data
from the records of York County, Pennsylvania, and to
Judge John S. Goodwin, Historian of the Clan MacKinlay,
for later data. Mr. Wm. E. W. MacKinlay, Assistant
Historian of the Clan, has lent invaluable aid throughout
the whole line.

I would also acknowledge the courtesies extended by
the efficient librarians of the Newberry Library and Chicago
Public Library.

Few people realize that Chicago is rapidly becoming
the recognized library center of this continent. The New
York Outlook says: ''Chicago libraries are greater in
extent and endowment than those of any other American
city."

This might, by some, be considered an extravagant
statement, but it is fully substantiated by the recent report
to the Chicago Board of Trade by its secretary, Mr.

George F. Stone, who has spent some time in collecting
the statistics The tc tal number of bound volumes in our
public libraries is 706,000, to which may be added 160,000
volumes in our semi-public institutions, making 866,000
bound volumes. These figures do not include the pam-
phlets, which would swell the number to over 2,000,000
titles, or the valuable libraries of Evanston, Oak Park
and other suburban towns. When it is considered that the
growth of these libraries dates practically from the great
fire of 1872, it seems indeed a phenominal growth, and with
another twenty-five years of like progress Chicago will
compete favorably with the libraries of the Old World

As a genealogy of the entire MacKinlay-McKinley-
McGinley family is contemplated, all descendants will
confer a favor on their posterity by sending copies of
family records to me.

I would also like records and addresses of all descend-
ents of the Claypoole, Claypool or Claypole families.

Mac Duff.

( From an original sketch by R. R. Mclan, Esq.)

Mr._ James Logan, in " The Clans of the Scottish Highlands," says : " The
figure is not only a Mac Duff, but he is Duff himself, as it is observable, those
of this Clan, agreeably to their d signation, usually are. (Duff being from
the Gaelic Dubh, black or dark-colored man). He wears mogans or knit
stockings, without feet, by no means an uncommon covering, which is used
more for tlie purpose of protecting the legs from the prickly shrubs Ihan as
appurtenances of dress, and he appears furiously breasting up a hill in pur-
suit of some one with whom he has ' a reckoning to clear.' "

LINE OF DESCENT

WILLIAM McKINLEY,

Twenty-Fifth President of the United States,

FROM

MacDuff, Thane of Fife.
a:

"'Before my body
I throw my warlike shield ; Lay on Macduff !
And damn'd be him that first cries 'Hold, enough !"

— Shakespeare'' s Macbeth

a;

1. Duncan MacDuff.

Maormor (Gaelic maor, steward; mor, great, or
great steward) of Fife, the celebrated Thane, of Shakes-
peare, was greatest and chief of those who labored to
restore Malcolm Cean-mor or King Malcolm IIL to his
throne, which had been usurped by Macbeth.

Holinshed, a Scottish chronicle of the i6th century,

says :

" Makduffe, to auoid perill of life, purposed with
himselfe to passe into England to procure Malcolme Cam-
more to claime the crown of Scotland." "Immediately
then Makbeth most cruellie caused the wife and children
of Makduffe, with all others whom he found in the castell,
lo be slaine."

—19—

^'But Makduffe was alreadie escaped out of danger,
and gotten into England unto Malcolme Cammore, to
trie what purchase hee might make by means of his sup-
port to reuenge the slaughter so cruellie executed on his
wife, his children, and other friends."

''At his comming vnto Malcolme, he declared into
what great miserie the estate of Scotland was brought, by
the detestable cruelties exercised by the tyrant Macbeth,
having committed many horrible slaughters and murders,
both as well of the nobles as commons, for which he was
hated right mortallie of all his liege people, desiring
nothing more than to be delivered of that intoUerable and
most heauie yoke of thraldom."

***** Though Malcolme was verie sorowfull for
the oppression of his countriemen the Scots, in manner as
Makduffe had declared, yet doubting whether he was
come as one that meant unfein-edlie as he spake, or else
as sent from Makbeth to betraie him, he thought to have
some further triall."

Malcolm then gave various long excuses and pictured
himself as sensual, avaricious, deceitful, and unfit to
govern the people.

''Then said Makduffe : * * Oh, ye unhappie and
miserable Scotishmen, which are thus scourged with so
manie and sundrie calamities, ech one above other ! Ye
have one curssed and wicked tyrant that now reigneth
over you without anie right or title, oppressing you with
his most bloudie crueltie. This other that hath the right
to the crowne, is so replet with the inconsistant behaui-
our and manifest vices of Englishmen, that he is nothing
woorthie to enjoy it : for by his own confession he is not
onelie avaritious, and given to vnsatiable lust, but so false
a traitor withall, that no trust is to be had vnto anie
woord he speaketh. Adieu, Scotland, for now I account
myself a banished man for euer, without comfort or con-
solation ; and with those woords the brackish teares
trickled downe his cheekes verie abundantlie."

—20-

*'At last, when he was readie to depart, Malcolme
tooke him by the sleeue, and said : ' Be of good comfort,
Makduffe, for I have none of these vices before remembered,
but have jested with thee in this manner, onlie to prooue
thy mind : for diuerse times heeretofore hath Makbeth
sought by this manner of meanes to bring me into his
hands, but the more slow I have shewed my selfe to con-
descend to thy motion and request, the more diligence
shall I vse in accomplishing the same.' ""

***** " Makbeth recoiled backe into Fife, there
purposing to abide in campe fortified, at the castell of
Dunsinane and to fight with his enemies, * * * he had
such confidence in his prophesies, that he beleeved he
should never be vanquished, till Birname wood were
brought to Dunsinane."

***** "Malcolme following hastilie after Mak-
beth, came the night before the battell vnto Birname
wood, and when his armie had rested a while there to
refresh them, he commanded eurie man to get a bough of
some tree or other of that wood in his hand, as big as he
might beare, and to march foorth therewith in such wise,
that on the next morrow they might come cioselie and
without sight in this manner within viewe of his enemies.
On the morrow when Makbeth beheld them coming in
this sort, he first marvelled what the matter ment, but in
the end remembered himselfe that the prophesie which he
had heard long before that time of the comming of Bir-
name wood to Dunsinane castell, was liklie to be now
fulfilled."

''■ Nevertheless, he brought his men in order of bat-
tell, and exhorted them to doo valiantlie, howbeit his
enimies had scarcely cast from ' them their boughs, when
Makbeth perceiuing their numbvrs, betooke him streict to
flight, whom Makduffe pursued with great hatred euen till
he came vnto Lunfannaine, where Makbeth perceiuing
that Makduffe was harde at his backe, leapt beside his
hor^se, saieing, 'Thou traitor, what meaneth it that thou
shou'dest thus in vaine follow me that am not appointed

-21—

to be slaine by anie creature that is borne of a woman,
come on, therefore, and receiiie thy reward which thou
hast deserved for thy paines,' and therewithal! he lifted
vp his swoord thinking to have slaine him."

" But Makduffe quicklie avoiding from his horsse, yer
he came at him, answered (with his naked swoord in his
hand) saieing, 'It is true, Makbeth, and now shall thine
insatiable crueltie haue an end, for I am even he that thy
wizzards haue told thee of. who was never borne of my
mother, but ripped out of her wombe :' therewithal he
stept unto him and slue him in the place."

" Then cutting his head from his shoulders, he set it
vpon a pole and brought it vnto Malcolme. This was the
end of Makbeth, after he had reigned 17 years ouer the
Scotishmen."

[This chronicle is the foundation of Shakespeare's
tragedy of Macbeth.]

Macduff slew Macbeth at Lumphanan in Aberdeenshire,
Scotland, December 5th, 1056, and in reward for his
valuable services, King Malcolm III., bestowed on him
the following extraordinary privileges, as given in the
Buik of the Chroniclis of Scotland :

" To gude Makduffe the erlo of FyfEe gaif he
Ane priuledge, and his posteritie ;
The first quhilk wes ane priuledge conding,i
The erl] of Fyfi'e quhen crownit wes the king,
Onto his chyre siild him convoy and leid,
The ci'oun of gold syne 2 set vpoun his heid
With liis awin hand, all seruice for to mak.
As presidents most principall of that act;
The secnnd wes, that battell in ilk 4 steid
In his gyding the vangard for to leid ;

Quhen that he war accusit of his lyffe.

Or ill modern English: First, that he and his successors,
lords of Fife, should have the right of placing the Kings of
Scotland on the throne at their coronation. Second, that
they should lead the van of the Scottish armies whenever
the royal banner was displayed. Third, that if he or any
of his kindred committed slaughter of a suddenty they
should have a peculiar sanctuary, girth, or asuylum, and
obtain remission on payment of an eric or atonement in
money to the relations of those slain, which, in Scottish
law was called kimbot. He was also rewarded by having
his county of Fife confirmed to him, and was created Earl
in 1061.

According to Boetius and Fordun, he was eighth in
descent from Fyfe MacDuff, a chieftain of great power
and wealth, who lived about the year A. D. 800, and who
afforded to Kenneth MacAlpin (Kenneth II) who was the
first king of all Scotland, strong aid in establishing his
right to the throne, A. D. 843, which resulted in the
union of the Picts and Scots. In reward for these services
Macduff received from the Monarch a very large tract of
land which he called Fife (now Fifeshire), and over which
he was appointed hereditary Thane.

2. Dufagan,

The son of Duncan Macduff, styled 2d Earl of Fife,
was witness to many charters of King Alexander I., and
was an assenter to a charter of that King, confirming the
rights of the Trinity Church of Scone. His son,

—23—

3. Constantine Macduff,

Styled 3d Earl of Fife, and who is supposed to have
been the first who adopted the title, is witness to a charter
of the Monastery of Dunfermline. He is also spoken of
as a great judge of Scotland. In the Registry of the
Priory of St. Andrews, page 17, will be found the records
of a trial over which Earl Constantine, "a discreet and
eloquent man," presided as Justiciary of Scotland. This
meeting must have taken place early in the reign of King
David, as the signature of Earl Constantine is soon re-
placed in the charters by that of Earl Gillimichael.

He is said to have died in 1129, about five years after
the accession of David the First to the throne. His
eldest son,

4. Gillimichael flacduff,

Fourth Earl of Fife, is witness to the foundation
charter of the Abbey of Holyroodhouse in 11 28, and to
several other charters of King David. He died in 1139,
leaving two sons, viz.: Duncan, 5th Earl, and Hugo,
ancestor of the Earl of Wemyss.

5. Duncan Macduff,

Fifth Earl of Fife, who died Anno 1154. is witness to
several charters of King David I., and of Malcolm IV.,
and was a liberal benefactor of the Church.

In 1 138 he is conjectured to have been one of tlie five
hostages delivered by David I to Stephen, King of Eng-

—24-

land, that the terms of the truce concluded after the
* 'Battle of the Standard" would be preserved by the Scots.
According to Wintoun, he was appointed Regent of
Scotland in the minority of Malcolm IV. It was under
his guardianship the young Malcolm, then in his eleventh
year, was sent by his grandfather, King David I., on a
tour of Scotland, and in every district was proclaimed
and received as heir to the Crown. David I. died in 1153,
and Earl Duncan performed the ceremony of placing the
youthful, Malcolm on the inaugural chair, or sacred stone
of Scone, at his coronation in 1154 Duncan's second son,

6. Seach (Gaelic for Shaw) Macduff,

Having accompanied his father and the Prince in their
tour of Scotland, became a great favorite of King Malcolm
IV. In 1 154 he is said to have had command of the army
of Malcolm. For his assistance in quelling an insurrec-
tion among the inhabitants of Moray in 1161, the King
made him Governor of Inverness, and presented him with
the lands of Petty and Breachly, and the Forest of
Strathearn.

From the high position of his father he was styled by
the Gaelic speaking population Mac-an-Toi-sich (son of
the chief or foremostj, which became the surname of the
family. Dr. John MacPherson observes that ''as Malcolm
Cean Mor gave a right to those powerful Thanes to lead
the van, the name is, in a manner, accounted for." He
was the founder and first Chief of Clan Macintosh. He

—25-

married Giles, daughter of Hugh de Montgomery, one of
his comrades in the Moravian insurrection in 1161, and
had three sons, Shaw, Malcolm and Duncan. He died in
1 1 79, and was succeeded by his eldest son,

7. Shaw (Oig) Haclntosh,

Who was the second Chief of the Clan and Governor at
the Castle of Inverness for thirty years, which he bravely
defended when Thorfin, son of Harald MacMadach, the
powerful Earl of Orkney and Caithness, made a raid into
Inverness in 1196. His brother Duncan was slain during
this raid at the battle of Torvain. He married Mary,
daughter of Sir Harry de Sandy lands, and had, I. Fear-
chard (3d Chief of the Clan), II. William, and IIL
Edward, ancestor of Monivard.

He died in 1209 or 12 10, and was succeeded by his
eldest son, Fearchard, who became third Chief of Clan
Macintosh, and took part in the expedition against Guth-
bred mac Donald mac William, in 121 1, in Ross-shire.
Fearchard died about 1240, without issue, and was suc-
ceeded as Chief of the Clan by his nephew, Shaw
Macintosh. (See No. 9.)

8. William Macintosh,

Second son of Shaw (or Shaw Oig, i. e , the younger).
Married Beatrix Learmonth, a surname as old as the reign
of Malcolm III., and from which descended Thomas
Learmonth, better known as ''Thomas the Rhymer," or
'^Thomas of Ercildoune,'' Scotland's earliest poet, who is

—26-

supposed to have been born between 1226 and 1229.
William is said to have resided at the Castle of Inverness
with the other sons and grandsons of Shaw (Oig), and
who defended it on numerous occasions against the
marauding bands of the West. Some of them added con-
siderable to the possessions of the family, which soon
took firm root in the North.

9. Shaw Macintosh,

Son of William, at the death of his uncle, Shaw (Oig),
became fourth Chief of the Macintoshes. The war cry
of this Clan was ''Loch na MaoidJi" (Loch Moy, "the
lake of threatening"), a small lake near the seat of the
Chief in Inverness-shire.

The Gumhadh mhic a'Arisaig, or Macintosh's Lament,
is extremely plaintive and expressive. It is one of the
most touching of that species of music, and a great
favorite of the pipers.

Shaw married in 1230 Helena, daughter of William,
Thane of Calder. He is mentioned as having acquired a
lease of Rothiemurchus in Strath-spey, but the date is not
given. The lands of Rothiemurchus, having been granted
by King Alexander II. to Andrew, Bishop of Moray, Anno
1226, were held by the Bishops in lease by the Shaws
during a hundred years without disturbance.

Prior to 1396 the Clan represented by the Macintoshes
had been (as was common amongst the Clans) often

-27-

designated as the Clan Shaw, after the successive chiefs of
that name, and sometimes, as the Clan of the Mac-an-
Toisheach, i e., the Thane's son.

Shaw died in 1265, and was succeeded by his son,

10. Farquhar Macintosh,

Who as fifth Chief, fought at the head of his clan at
the battle of Largs, October 3rd, 1263, where Haco IV,
King of Norway was defeated. He was killed in a duel
in 1274. He married Mora, daughter of Angus Mor of
Isla, and sister of Angus Oig, who at the head of his
clan (Clan Donald or MacDonald) formed the reserve and
''did battle stalwart and stout on that never-to-be-for-
gotten day" at Bannockburn.

In 1306 Angus received Bruce into his castle of Dun-
averty and protected him for nine months in his country
of Rachlin, Isla and Uist. In consequence of this fidelty
King ''Robert the Bruce" bestowed upon him the post of
honor, the right hand; and it was to this Angus that he
addressed the words "My hope is constant in thee," on
his making the final charge on the English.

11. Angus Macintosh.

"At Bannockburn I served the Bruce,
Of whilk the Inglis had na russ."

Angus, often called Angus mac Fearchard (i. e., Angus,
son of Farquhar), sixth Chief of Clan Macintosh, was
born in 1268, and died in 1345. In 1291-2 he married
Eva, the daughter and heiress of Gillipatrick, the son of
Dugall Dall, who was the son of Gillichattan-Mor, the

founder of Clan Chattan (pronounced Kattan). By her
he acquired the lands of Locharkeg, Glenluy and Strath-
locie, which remained with the family until sold to Lochiel
in 1665.

By this marriage he also acquired the station of Cap-
tain, or leader of Clan Chattan, which was the most pow-
erful of the Highland Clans, being composed of the
MacPherson, MacDuff, Macintosh, MacBean, Shaw, Farqu-
harson, MacGillivray, MacQueen, Clark, Davidson, Elder,
and several others clans. Each clan had their own tartan
and war cry, but all wore the Suaich-eantas, or badge of
Clan Chattan, viz., Lus na^n Graim-sheag na Bra-oi-laig,
the red whortleberry (vaccinium vitis idea).

Angus was a chief of great activity, and a staunch
supporter of King Robert, the Bruce with Avhom he took
part in the famous battle of Bannockburn June 11, 13 14,
where the sturdy Scotts, with an army of not over 40,000
men (a number of historians say 30,000), completely
routed Edward III. with a vast army of over 100,000, and
thus virtually secured Scottish independence.

12. Ian (Gaelic for John) flaclntosh,

Or Mackintosh, as generally written by the modern his-
torians. In charters granted by the lords of the Isles, and
confirmed by King David II., the son of Eva, is designated
as Captain of Clan Chattan, but whether this son or
another, we know not.

-29—

13. Gilchrist flaclntosh,

Or Christi-Jonson, sometimes called Gilchrist mac
Ian, i.e., Gilchrist, son of John, from whence comes the
name Johnson.

14. Sliaw rior (Great) flaclntosli,

Or Mackintosh, whose pedigree is given in ancient
manuscripts as Shaw, mac Gilchrist, mac Ian, mac Angus,
mac Farquhar, etc. {mac being the Gaelic for "son"),
was leader of the victorious Thirty at the North Inch of
Perth, Sept. 5, 1396, before King Robert III., his Queen,
and the Scottish nobility, which Sir Walter Scott so
graphically describes in his "Fair Maid of Perth," and
with less embellishment in his "Tales of a Grandfather."
The Macintosh ]\Iss. of 1500 states that Lauchlan, the old
Chief of the Macintoshes, gave Shaw a grant of Rothie-
murchus "for his valour on the Inch that day." He died
about 1405, and was buried in the churchyard of the
parish, where his gravestone may still be seen. By a
daughter of Duncan (?) ''MacPherson of Clunie," he had
seven sons, of whom the eldest,

15. Seumas (James) Mackintosh,

Chief of Clan Mackintosh, was killed at the memor-
able battle of Hailaw, which was fought on the eve of the
feast of St. James the Apostle, July 24, 1411. "The High-
landers, who were ten thousand strong, rushed on with the
fierce shouts and yells which it was their custom to raise

-30—

in coming into battle, the Engl'sh knights meeting them
with ponderous maces and battle axes, which inflicted
ghastly wounds upon their half armed opponents. The
Constable of Dundee was slain, and the Highlanders,
encouraged by his fall, wielded their broadswords and
Lochaber axes with murderous effect, seizing and stabbing
the horses and pulling down their riders, whom they
dispatched with their daggers. The Highlanders left
900 men dead on the field of battle including the
Chiefs Maclean and Mackintosh." The loss of the
Highlanders was very small compared with that sus-
tained by the Lowlanders, It was the final contest
between the Celt and Teuton for Scottish independence,
and from the ferocity with which it was waged and the
dismal spectacle of war and bloodshed exhibited to the
country, it made at the time an inconceivable impression
on the national mind and is indelibly fixed in the music
and poetry of Scotland.

A march called the " Battle of Harlaw," continued
to be popular down to the time of William Drummond, of
Hawthornden, the eminent Scottish poet (b. 1585, d. 1649).

A spirited ballad on the same event, describing the
meeting of the armies and the deaths of the Chiefs, in no
gnoble strain, is still recited by the bards.

-31—

' There was not, sin' King Kenneth's days,

Sic strange intestine cruel strife
In Scotlande seen, as ilk man says,

Where monie likelie lost their life :

Whilk made divorce 'tween man and wife,
And monie children fatherless,

Whilk in this relm has been full rife :
Lord, help these lands ! our wrongs redress ! ',

" In July, on Saint James his evin.

That four-and-twenty dismal day,
Twelve hundred, ten score and eleven

Of years sin' Christ, the soothe to say ;

Men will remember, as they may.
When thus the veritie they knaw ;

And monie an ane will mourne for aye
The brim battle of the Harlaw."

i6. Allister Ciar Mackintosh (Alexander, Ciar, pronounced
Kiar; the brown),

Son of Seumas, obtained the estate of Rothiemurchus
in Strath Spey, from Duncan, nth Chief of Mackintosh,
by deed dated September 24th, 1464, and was often de-
signated as Shaw of Rothiemurchus.

He married a daughter of " Stuart of Kinkardine "
and had four sons, the second being

1 7 . Fearchard ( Farquhar ) Macki ntosh ,

Who was forester to the Earl of Mar, about 1440, and in
the reign of James III. (1460-1488), was appointed Heredi-
tary Chamberlain of the Braes of Mar.

He married a daughter of Patrick, son of Robert, son
of Duncan d' Atholia — a descendant of Patrick d' Atholia,
of whom Wyntoun says :

'• A. D. 1391. Erie Patrykl als is tiiidder gane,

Wyth mony gud [men] of Lowthayne."

—32-

Patrick, Robert's son, was ancestor of the Robertsons
of Lude, and the founder and Chieftain of the Clan Robert-
son, or Clan Donnachie, i. e., children of Duncan.

Fearchard's sons were called Farquhar-son, the first of the
name in Scotland and the immediate ancestors of the Far-
quharsons of Invercauld, the main branch. His eldest
son was,
1 8. Donald Farquharson.

" How in the noon of night, that pibroch thrills,
Savage and shrill ! But with the breath which fills
Their mountain pipe, so fill the mountaineers
With the fierce native daring which instils
The stirring memory of a thousand years.'"— Byron.

The piobrachd, as its name implies, is properly a
pipe tune and is usually the Gruin-nea-chadh, or gathering
of a Clan, being a long piece of music composed on occa-
sion of some victory or other fortunate circumstance in
the history of a tribe which, when played, is a warning
for the troops to turn out. There is, however, little atten-
tion now paid to the distinctions, and a piobrachd may be
described as an extended piece of music adapted for the
bagpipe, composed for the celebration of a battle where
the Clan was successful, or before a conflict commenced,
to excite the warriors to heroism. It was often played in
the midst of a battle as an inspiration. These pieces
become consecrated in the Clan to all succeeding enter-
prises of war and occasions of festive enjoyment.

The Cath-ghairm or rallying cry of Clan Farquharson
was Cam na Guimline, the cairn of remembrance, an arti-

-33-

ficial heap of stones in Strathdee, around which the Clan
assembled and on which the bard chanted the Brosnu cha'
ca' or incentive to battle, before they departed.

The Farquharsons, according to Duncan Forbes, was
"The only Clan family in Aberdeenshire." Their esti-
mated strength was Ave hundred men, and they were
among the most faithful adherents to the House of Stuart,
and throughout all the struggles in its behalf, constantly
acted up to their motto "Fide et fortitudine/^ by faith
and fortitude.

Donald married a daughter of Robertson of the Cal-
vene family, and had an only son.

1 9. Farquhar Beg (Gaelic for little),

Who married into the Chisholm family of Strath
Glass (Strath, valley, of the river Glass.) Erchless Castle
the family seat, an old baronial mansion, situated in a
picturesque locality in Strathglass or " Grey Valley," in
Inverness-shire, is still occupied by the Chisholms.

Farquhar died there at the end of the reign of James
III., leaving a numerous issue, of whom the eldest was,

20. Donald Farquharson,

Who married Isabel, the only child of Duncan Stewart,

commonly called Duncan Downa Dona, of the family of

Mar, and obtained by her the lands of Invercauld and

Aberarder in 1520. Fie also gained considerable favors for

faithful services rendered to the Crown. His son and

successor,

-34—

31. Findlay (Gaelic Fionn=laidh\

Commonly called Findla Mur, or Great Findla, from
his great size and strength, was killed at the battle of
Pinkie Sept. lo, 1547, while bearing the Royal Standard
of Scotland, and was buried in the Inveresk churchyard,
near Edinburg. By his first wife, a daughter of Baron
Reid, of Kinkardine Stewart, he had four sons, who took
the name of Mac lanla, the name being derived from
Finlay, the Gaelic form of which is Fionn-ladh. The
form Mac Fhionn-laidh (meaning son of Findlay), being
pronounced as nearly as English spelling can show it —
Mac-ionn-lay, or Mach-un-la.

The second wife of Findla Mor was Beatrix Gardyn,
of Balchorie, by whom he had seven sons who retained
the name of Farquharson. From the sons by his first
wife sprang the Clan Fhinla, or MacKinlay, which was so
closely allied to Clan Farquharson that they adopted the
same war cry and badge.

The MacKinlay Suaicheantas, or badge, is Lus-nam-
han-sith, the foxglove.

The old motto of the clan was '' We force nae friend,
we fear nae /oe."

The MacKinlay tartan, or plaid, is the same as that
of the Earquharsons, except the yellow lines are replaced
by red lines.

—35-

22. William MacKinlay,

The eldest son of Findla Mor, died in the reign of
James VI. (1603-1625). He had four sons, who settled
at ''The Annie," a corruption of the Gaelic An-ANiain-
fheidh, meaning "The ford of the Stag," which is near
Callender, in Perthshire. The estate is still occupied by
their descendants.

23. Thomas (?) MacKinlay,

Or at least one of the above mentioned sons of
William No. 22, the eldest of whom was John.

Thomas is known to have lived at ''The Annie," in
1587, and

24. Donald, or Domhniul flacKinlay,

Who was born at "The Annie," is known to have
been a grandson of William No. 22. His son,

25. John (Gaelic Ian) MacKinlay,

Who was born at "The Annie" about 1645, had three
sons, viz.: Donald, the eldest, born 1669; "James, the
Trooper," (born probably 1671), and John, born 1679.

26. "James, the Trooper,"

Went to Ireland acting as guide to the victorious army
of William III. at the battle of the Boyne, July i, 1690.

He married probably 1 697-1 700, and settled in Ire-
land, becoming the ancestor of a large portion of the Irish
McKinleys.

At first it was supposed that James McKinley, born in
Ireland in 1708, who settled in Pennsylvania, and died at

— 3G—

the home of his great granddaughter, Mrs. Eleanor (Wiles)
Goodwin, in Warren County, Ohio, in 1812, at the age of
104 years, was the ancestor of President McKinley, but
later developments point to an elder son,

27. David McKinley,

Known as ''David the Weaver," born probably 1705.

The exact date of his immigration to America, and where
he first settled, is not known. The early immigrants to
Pennsylvania landed mostly at New Castle, Delaware, the
early records of which were destroyed by the British during
the Revolutionary War.

The records of York County, Pa., show that a warrant
was issued to David McKinley in 1745 for a tract of land in
Chanceford Township, York County, Pa., and he was there
probably as early as 1743. He died before 1761, leaving
one daughter and three sons, of whom

28. John McKinley,

Died in 1779. He served in the Revolutionary War in

1778, in the Company of Capt. Joseph Reed, ferryman,
York County Militia. [Spangler's Annals, pp. 430-1.]
Of the five children who survived him, his son,

29. David flcKinley

Was born May 16, 1755, in York County, Pa., and

resided at Chanceford at the time of the Revolutionary

War. He served seven months in Capt. W. McC'askey's

Company, Col. Richard McAllister's Regiment of York

County (Pa.) Militia, and was engaged in the skirmish at

Amboy, July, 1776.

—37—

'^I have sent orders to the commanding officer of the
Pennsylvania Militia to march to Amboy.

July 14, 1776. Geo. Washington."

Two companies of this militia which helped form the
"Flying Cam.p" arrived at Amboy July 16, 1776, as re-
ported by the commanding officer. [Am. Archives I., 330
and 369.]

David McKinley was also engaged with his company
at the defense of the Fort at Paulus Hook (now Jersey
City, N. J.).

Gen. Mercer, in his report to Congress Sept. 4, 1776^
says :

"In obedience to orders from General Washington,
between three and four thousand of the militia of Pennsyl-
vania and New Jersey assembled at Bergen, ready to pass
on to New York, but were countermanded on the retreat
of the army from Long Island."

"We have, however, strengthened the posts at Powles
Hook and Bergen Neck to the complement of twenty-five
thousand men."

On the 15th of September the British captured New
York City. In speaking of the bombardment of the city
by the ships Roebuck, Phcenix and Tartar, The Fresman^s
Journal of Oct. 5, 1776, says the vessels "were roughly
treated by the American battery at Paulus Hook."

Paulus Hook Fort was evacuated Sept. 23, 1776.

David also served in the companies of Captains Ross,
Laird, Reed, Holderbaum, Sloymaker, Robe and Harna-
han, and was engaged in the skirmish of Chestnut Hill in
1777-

As the statement that he served under eight different
captains has been doubted, the following letter will add
weight to the above statements :

William Lochren,

Commissioner of Pensions,

^Should be McAllister. See Colonial Records of
Pennsylvania. Vol. X., p. 682. viz:
"In Council of Safety. Aug. 13, 1776.

By order of the Board, John M. Nessbitt, Esq.,
Treasurer was directed to pay Captain Thomas Fisher
^^^46.0.0 for Arms purchased and to be charged to Colonel
Rich'd McAllister of York Co."

David McKinley died August 8, 1840, in Crawford
County, O.

On December g, 1780, he was married in Westmore-
land County, Pa., to Sarah, daughter of John and Han-
nah (Stevenson) Gray, by whom he had ten children,
the second being

3o. James Stevenson flcKinley,

Born Sept. 19, 1783, who married '^Polly" Rose about
1805, and resided on a farm in Pine Township, Mercer
County, Pa. Early in ''the thirties" he became interested
in the iron business, and was manager of a charcoal fur-
nace for a number of years at Lisbon, O. He was an elder
in the Lisbon Presbyterian Church from 1822 to 1836, dur-
ing the pastorate of Rev. Dr. Vallandigham. His eldest son,
3i. William flcKinley,

Was born in Pine Township, Mercer County, Pa.,
Nov. 15, 1807. Having been trained in the iron business
by his father, he, at an early age, became manager of the
old furnace near New Wilmington, Lawrence County, Pa.,
which position he filled for twenty, one years. During
that extended period he drove every Saturday to Poland,
O,, where his family had their home, returning on Monday

—40 -

to his duties at the furnace. He was a devout Methodist,
a staunch Whig, a good Republican and an ardent advo-
cate of a protective tariff. He died in 1892 at the age of
eighty- five.

He was married in 1829 to Nancy Allison, an esti-
mable lady of Scotch-Irish blood, who bore him nine
children, of whom the seventh child is
32. President William flcKinley,

Who was born January 29, 1843, at Niles, Trumbull
County, O., where his father was interested in one of the
early iron furnaces of that section. He was educated in
the common schools and at Poland Academy; at the age
of seventeen he entered Allegheny College at Meadville,
Pa., but taking sick early in the term he returned home,
and that winter taught a country school near Poland, O.
The following summer a new school was open for young
McKinley — Fort Sumter's booming guns roused the blood of
his liberty-loving Scotch ancestors (although he knew not
of them), and in June, 1861, in response to Abraham Lin-
coln's first call for troops, he enlisted as a private soldier
in the 23d Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and marched to the
front. For fourteen months the young soldier served in
the ranks. He shouldered the musket, carried the knap-
sack and ''Drank from the same canteen." Every duty
of the private soldier he faithfully performed. In camp,
on march and on picket he bore his part. The battles of
Antietem and South Mountain only served to further rouse

—41—

the blood of the descendant of the Highland Chiefs. He
saw his first battle when Rosecrans defeated Floyd at
Carnifex Ferry. His first promotion was that of Commis-
sary Sergeant.

On Sept. 24, 1862, after the battle of Antietem, Ser-
geant McKinley was promoted to Second Lieutenant.
"Blood will tell." In less than five months he takes an-
other step up the ladder, and is promoted to First Lieut-
enant. On July 25, 1864, he is made Captain, speedily
followed by promotion to the brigade and division staff
of Gen. Rutherford B. Hayes; next as Acting Assistant
Adjutant-General on the staff of Gen. George Crook, then
on the staff of Major-Gen. Winfield S. Hancock, and sub-
sequently on the staff of Gen. Samuel S. Carroll.

He was with Sheridan in his great campaign through
the Shenandoah Valley.

Did he fight ? A treasured document signed by Abra-
ham Lincoln, which made William McKinley Brevet
Major of the United States Volunteers in 1864 ''for gallant
and meritorious services at the battles of Opequan, Cedar
Creek and Fisher's Hill," is an emphatic answer. In his
''Memoirs," Gen. Sheridan tells how he found the young
major rallying the troops at Cedar Creek on the morning
of his famous ride from Winchester.

He was with the famous 23d Ohio in all its battles,
and was mustered out with it July 26, 1865, after more
than four years of hard, active and distinguished service.

—42—

After the war, he turned his attention to the study of
law, and attended the Law School at Albany, N. Y. In
1867 he was admitted to the bar, and in 1869 was elected
Prosecuting Attorney of Stark County, O., and served
two years. About this time he attended another court,
and did some courting which resulted in his marriage
Jan. 25, 187 1, to Miss Ida Saxton, a gentle and accom-
plished lady, the daughter of James A. Saxton, a promi-
nent business man of Canton, O. This has beeii a very
happy union. The devotion of husband and wife has been
constant, and a true representation of "The love that
never grows old."

Two children were born, both of whom died young.

Major MacKinley's kindness of heart was forci-
bly shown during the mining troubles of 1875. After
a strike and riot in the western part of Stark County,
the building over the coal shaft and other buildings
were burned, and thirty or forty of the strikers were
indicted for the offense ; Major McKinley, believing
they were unjustly treated and not guilty of destroying the
works, took charge of the case, which is still looked back
upon as one of the memorable criminal trials of Stark
County, O.

The result was the acquittal of all but one of the
accused, who was sentenced to three years in the peniten-
tiary, but was pardoned by Governor Hays after hearing
McKinley's appeal on his behalf.

When the miners called upon him with notes and
drafts with which to pay him for his services, the ^Nlajor
told them that as they had been out of work and put to
much expense by the indictment, their families needed all
they could earn, and he could better do without the money
than they could ; that he had taken their case because he
believed they had been grievously wronged, and had de-
fended them more to secure justice than to make money.

He tore up the notes and drafts, and sent the men
home to earn a living for their families. The miners of
Eastern Ohio and Western Pennsylvania have never for-
gotten this kindness.

Major McKinley was elected to Congress in 1876 and
served fourteen years continuously in the House of Repre-
sentatives, until March, 1891. He served on the most
important committees, and won distinction by his promi-
nent and profound ability in the consideration and pre-
paration of economic measures. He was elected Governor
of Ohio in 1891, and as evidence of his just and able
administration, he was re-elected in 1893 by the greatest
number of votes ever cast for any State or National
candidate in the history of Ohio.

The bronze badge of the G. A. R., or the red, white
and blue rosette of the Loyal Legion, is always seen in
his button-hole^,

President and Mrs. McKinley are members of the
Methodist Episcopal Church.

—44—

During the campaign of 1894, one of the Nebraska
Glee Clubs sang,

" The man will fare slimly
Who opposes McKinley
In eighteen ninety six."

This proved a good prophecy, for on November 3, 1896,
William McKinley was elected the twenty-fifth President
of the United States by an overwhelming majority.

—45—

TARTAN OR PLAID,

The Tartan being, as it were, a Highlander's coat armour, he is especially-
careful that it shall in nowise be dishonored.

Mr. James liOgan, an eminent authority on Scottish costumes, gives the

following:

"A web of Tartan is two feet two inches wide, atleast within half an inch»
more or less. Commencing at the edge of the cloth, the depth of colours is
stated throughout the square, on which the scale must be reversed or gone
through again to the commencement."

Total width of pattern, 10 5-16 inches. ]s of an inch colors.

MacDuff Tartan.— 4 red, 3 azure, 4 black, 6^ green, 3%, red, 1 black,
SYz red, 1 black, 3^/2 red, 6V2 green, 4 black, 3 azure, 8 red.
