Hi Martha,
Could you give reference for the Murdoch McCranie / Ann McLean issue of John H McCranie?
Thanks
Ron McRaney

PS. The Y-DNA profile for the McCranie of Jura is R1b-CTS4466 with SNP A212 and additional ones that trace the family down to North Carolina / South Carolina / Georgia / Florida / Alabama / Mississippi.

Now we have a Y-DNA profile that can determine if you are actually a McCranie from the Isle of Jura. If interested let me know ron.mcraney at gmail.com

I don't know if you are still in business. I would very much like to connect to your site---is that where the history of the clan is or have you posted it onto ancestry.com now? I am actually from the US descended from William McCranney or MackCranney who settled in the 1600s in Springfield, Mass. Family legend (?) states that the first McCranney who came over to the US indentured himself to a ship's captain so he could learn to be a sailor. His indentureship was sold to a widow in the US where he worked it out and became a free man. We are trying to learn what his name was and more about him and our heritage over in the British Isles. if you have anything that could help me with our family's quest, I would greatly appreciate it.

In the early records here in America, we have the spellings of MackCranney, McCranney, McCraney, McCrany, and Cranney. Much was spelled as the writer perceived the phonics obviously.

Thank you,

I sure hope after 9 years, you still get notifications on McCranies. I, too, am descended from Elza McCranie. He's the husband of Martha Bryan (my maternal line), and I'm stuck on HER mother, who is not Elizabeth Perkins, as most trees show. If you get this, we can talk more about McCranies. My 2x gr grandmother is Francis (Fannie) McCranie Arnold.

Guillour McCranie, of the Isle of Jura ???? Really, I doubt the documentation ????

Actually he was born around 1550, died in 1643, and laid to rest in Kilearnadail cemetery on the Isle of Jura, legend has it. There is a gravestone there as marked, assuming ole Gillour rests there.

Re: MCCRANIE

triciawinslette — 2014-01-05 17:14:26Z

I've been researching the McCranie family also. My great grandmother was Minnie Mae Ross. She was raised by H William McCranie's family. I was able to trace her McCranie heritage back to Guillour McCranie of the Isle of Jura, no parents names or birth/death info. I've been unable to find anything further. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, did you ever confirm that the father of John H was Murdoch?

Re: McCraney/McCraine/McCranie

loumccranie — 2013-04-10 19:30:01Z

Hi Elizabeth,

I don;t know if you are still posting on ancestry, but I am researching the family tree as we prepare for a trip to scotland this summer. My husbands is a paternal decendant of John H McCranie (sp?) His grandfather was Horton Jr, gg was Horton SR. and ggg was Daniel, son of John H and Catherine...

So was Murdoch the father of John H? and where do we go from there?? Whew!! Regards

Re: McCRANEY/McCRAINE

ron_mcraney — 2013-04-06 22:49:02Z

Hi Angela,
The story goes when the Campbells took charge of the Isle of Jura, they started calling the MacRaighne (the MacDonald form of the name) MacCrain. The name change from Mac Crain was due to it's Gaelic translation, "Son of Sow". Considerable immigrants to Islay and the Scotland mainland changed their name to MacNeil. However the Cape Fear, NC immigrants kept the name MacCrain. Today there are various spellings, McRaney, McCraine, McRanie, McCraney, McCranie
Hope this helps,
Ron McRaney

Re: McCRANEY/McCRAINE

lochryan23 — 2013-03-30 22:43:14Z

I have researched Margaret McCraine and we are definitely related! I realise this is a very old post, but was researching to find out why the McCraine name was changed frequently to MacNeil was members of her family. Your post popped up!

I too am from that line of McCranie's. My Mother's maiden name is McCranie in fact. I have done quite a bit of the ancestry, & really enjoyed doing it as well. It takes a long time & effort, & I still have questions.

You can look here-not sure if this is what you are looking for or if it is the right person. Was John's wife named Mary? There are 2 pages with the name McCrance but was hand written (changed) on page 2 to McCranie. Hope it helps.

John H McCranie war service

sleepytp51 — 2012-02-28 01:49:36Z

Does anyone out there have proof of John H McCranie's Revolutionary War Record? I can't seem to locate any actual records proving he actually served during the war. My Grandmother was a McCranie and John was my 4th great grandfather.

Re: McCranie

ron_mcraney — 2011-09-19 02:03:59Z

Hi Elizabeth,
No, I no longer have it, you can send your new one via my ron_mcraney at hotmail, I've have the account since 1994 would seem lost without it. Also at gmail and cox.net as well. Either of these would get to me.

I'm still trying to get back to Jura as I really enjoyed the trip in 2000 that I took.

Take Care,
Ron

Ron, it's good to hear from you, too. I'm not really working on genealogy anymore due to health problems. I'm still getting posts however, and respond occasionally.

Re: McCranie

Is the Wilkes Cemetery in Lowdnes Co., GA?

Re: McCranie

ElizabethCarolCraveyHughes — 2011-09-14 03:16:46Z

My records show that Daniel McCranie b. 1772, m. Sarah McMillan, d. 17 Jun 1854 in Lowdnes Co., GA USA.

Re: McCranie

ron_mcraney — 2011-09-17 01:55:34Z

Hi Elizabeth, it's been a long time, glad to see you are still gathering roots. I've been taking a break did some DNA Y testing and found connections to this McCranie connection you mentioned through a lawyer in GA, we share the same DNA Y strings.

Found below information you may already have however.
Best Wishes,
Ron McRaney

Name: Daniel (Big Thumb) MCCRANIE
• Given Name: Daniel (Big Thumb)
• Surname: MCCRANIE
• Suffix: Sr.
• Sex: M
• Title: Sr.
• Note:
From: Dillard Ensley
Date: March 8, 2000 7:59:22 AM EST

Neil was the third child and second son of Daniel and Sarah; Duncan was the oldest, although almost all published genealogies have him born as late as 1805 (error, born 1792).

Daniel McCranie married (2) Catherine "Kitty" Holmes in 1844 (exact date lost due to Courthouse fire in Lowndes County). She was married (1) to Silas B. Godwin and (2) to James Paige. She had one son by first marriage and one son and one daughter by the second. All of her children migrated
to old Lowndes County when she did/or very shortly hereafter.

Daniel and Kitty, and probably Sarah, are buried in the Wilkes Cemetery in Cook County, in unmarked graves. We know Daniel's grave, and there are embryonic plans to mark the site when enough money is raised.

• Birth: 1772 in Cross Creek, Cumberland or Robeson Co, NC
• Death: 17 JUN 1854 in Lowdnes Co., GA
• Christening: 16 NOV 1850 Pleasant Church, Lownes Co., GA
• Burial: Wilkes Cem., Cook Co., GA

Hi Jennifer,

My name is Douglas McArthur and I'm Laura's brother. Miracle is/was my niece. I gather from the message that you posted on ancestry.com in 2009 that Miracle is deceased and I'm really saddened to hear that. I live in Texas but my two sons, Kenneth and Doug, and my daughter Bonita still live in the Athens area.

There is other information I can share with you and I would like to hear anything you might know about Laura.

Hoping to hear from,
Doug

Re: McCranie

sandywalbolt — 2011-09-14 13:07:29Z

Lowndes Co. is now Cook. The 1st original P.O. was in their home. Daniel served in Capt. Hamilton Sharpe's volunteer troops of Lowndes Co. militia in Indian war 1836. Sarah was 1st know burial in Wilkes. Huxford's Pioneers of wiregrass Ga. has info. I checked out a few of the series in my library.

Re: McCranie

Yes, I knew it was in Ga. In fact my Grandparents lived in Adel. I answered your email, you did have correct address.

Re: McCranie

sandywalbolt — 2011-09-13 13:08:18Z

I also used google & typed in Daniel McCranies revalutionary pension & saw his name on a list entitled Soldiers & Patriots of Ga.

Re: McCranie

sandywalbolt — 2011-09-13 03:02:28Z

If you google Daniel McCranie you'll see a write up about him there. I read he was in the Cumberland militia, & even given a pention & land for his service. They then moved to Ga. Did you mean you're from Murdoch, Daniel, Daniel Jr. then Malcolm? Mine is Murdoch, Daniel, Daniel, William, Martin Shaw, John David, then my Mom.

Re: McCranie

sandywalbolt — 2011-09-12 23:45:32Z

I too am from that line. I have it that Daniel was a son. Daniel married Catherine Shaw. Daniel 1746-1823 died in Washington, Ga. My line Dnaiel had a son Daniel 1772-1893 mar. Sarah McMillian.

Hi, I am decended from Archibald-Murdoch-and Daniel. I don`t know if Daniel 1746 is Murdoch`s son or brother.I had thought son. also I have heard he is a Ref.soldier,but there doesn`t seem to be agreement on that either.Would love to discuss all this. Rosalyn

Re: McCranie

RoGladwin — 2011-09-13 02:42:01Z

We are definity from the same line.Do you know whether Daniel (1746) was a Ref soldier? My line is Archibald-Murdoch-Daniel(1746)-Daniel(Big Thumb)-Malcolm-Daniel J.-Laura Remmie-Rosa Florene Goodwin-Rosalyn Gladwin(ME)
Thank you for answering,R G.

Re: McCranie

RoGladwin — 2011-09-13 03:18:49Z

OMGosh!!! I would love to be able to trace Laura's family tree information. I had talked to Clara many, many years ago and didn't really get much information from her. (She was a little scary to me to be honest.) lol
Here is my email address, ileana_boyd @ yahoo . com .

So, the name McArthur ... where does the family line hale from, and do you have any pictures, or other interesting information that I could ... um, siphon off of you? I have gotten in touch with one of Richard's nephew and am slowly pestering him. (Very, very slowly ... getting in touch with new people is a delicate matter. I don't want to be too pushy, but I really want to trace as much of my tree as I can.)
Thank you so much for your reply!

Hello,
George was my wife's father married Frances Louthan in 1939.
Not much is known of his previous marriage, but there was an adopted son, Reed. But according to my wife Lorraine, George never talked much about his previous marriage. Lorraine says she may have met Reed maybe once. I have information on George and Frances from 1939. What is your connection to George?
