I believe there is a connection between John and Archibald, in reference to the previous response. I have a book about the family written by Anthony McCranie. In it, he goes from Archibald down, splitting in various directions. If you have any questions I could look up about it, please let me know. My paternal grandmother's a McCranie, and I love to talk about them. Hope to hear from new relatives! :-)
