Thomas MACKGEHEE 1, 2 (William MACKGEHEE , Patrick Of Abrach MACGREGOR , Duncan MACGREGOR , Gregor MACGREGOR , Duncan MACGREGOR , Gregor Patrickson GREGOR , Patrick Mhor MACGREGOR , Gregor MACGREGOR , Iain Dubh MACGREGOR , Iain Cam MACGREGOR , Gregor ) was born in 1655 in York Co, VA. He died on 27 Jul 1727 in St. John's Parish, King William Co, VA. He was buried in VA. LAND: King William County - Thomas Mackgeehee, grantee 28 Oct 1702 256 acres in Pamunkey Neck on the west side of Nicaty Nance Swamp, beginning on the east side of said swamp. Thomas married Ann BAYSTROP 1 in 1676 in VA. Ann was born in 1656 in Kent Co, England. She died before 1704 in VA. They had the following children: + 14 M i William MACKGEHEE Sr [S100] Internet Source, https://www.reynoldsfamily.org/genealogy/getperson.php?personID=I5281&tree=Line_036. For many years, Thomas Mackgehee was called the "immigrant," and identified as James MacGregor, son of Patrick MacGregor and Marian McDonald of Auchatrichaton. He is said to have come to America when Clan MacGregor was outlawed following Cromwell's defeat of the Scots. He supposedly changed his name to Thomas MackGehee in an attempt to hide his identity from the Crown. Quite a number of researchers today think that Thomas was the son of the immigrant, not the immigrant himself. Recent material suggests that a William MackGahey had sons William and Thomas in Virginia by 1653. The evidence suggests that the elder William may have changed his name from James MacGregor, making him the immigrant ancestor, and "our" Thomas, his son. Thomas owned land in several Virginia counties. Dorothy Helmer tells us that, "Thomas MackGehee owned land in New Kent Co, as early as 1689, when it is recorded in St. Peter's Vestry, p. 20, that he 'marked the bounds of his land'." Several years later, on 28 October 1702, Thomas petitioned for 256 acres in Pamunkey Neck on the west side of Nicatywance Swamp, in King William Co. This patent was granted for transporting six persons into the Colony. However, this land grant was not confirmed until 10 November 1713, according to English Duplicates of lost Virginia Records. Less than a year after his above petition, Thomas bought 110 acres from Wiliam Glover, recorded 20 September 1703, King William County. This land was farther up the Nicatywance Swamp, which is now called Harrison Creek. According to Helmer, these acres had been granted to James Johnson on 1 April 1702, then sold to William Glover. Glover, in turn sold them to Thomas MackGehee. The Quit Rent Rolls of 1704 for King William County list "Thomas MackGehee 250 acres." Nelson Heath Merriwether informs us, "...the records of these grants, detailing acreage, payments of rent, constitue the Quit Rent Rolls" and are "the first evidence of the foundation of a family progenitor in early Virginia." Pamunkey Neck, on the west side of Nicatywance Swamp in King William County, Virginia, was laid out for the Pamunkey Indians. The "Articles of Peace" with the Indians, however, designated this area for colonists after the Governor and Council forced the Indians to relinquish their rights. In his will, Thomas left bequests to all nine children but made no mention of his wife. She probably had died earlier. SOURCES: "Our McGehees, A History of One Branch of the McGehee Family from 1659 to the Present," Elizabeth McGehee Johnson, 1993. English Duplicates of Lost Virginia Records, Patents, pages 60, 62, 113 From "McGehee Descendants," E. C. W. Grider: "First, let's consider the ancestry of Marian MacDonald whose husband was Patrick MacGregor. According to Sir Gregor MacGregor there were two Patricks and the one who married Lady Marian MacDonald of Slate is NOT our Patrick. Our Patrick married Marian MacDonald of Auchatrichatan, who was possibly a cousin of the MacDonalds of Slate." From a letter by Sir Gregor MacGregor, 2 February 1970: "There were, in fact, two Patricks living at this time who were distant cousins. The first was Patrick MacGregor of that Ilk, 13th Chief of Clan Gregor, led his Clan under Montrose in 1644 and fought at the battles of Inverlochy and Kilsyth in 1645. . . . The other Patrick MacGregor of Ardchoille (called Aberach after his father), Chieftain of the Children of the Mist and is also said to have fought under Montrose at Kilsyth in 1645. He would, of course have been subordiante to the other Patrick who was his Chief. He married Marion MacDonald of Auchatrichatan in Glencoe member of the family of the MacDonalds of Glencoe and, perhaps, a distant relative of the MacDonalds of Sleat. By her, with other children, he had two sons---- Iain, his heir, and James who settled in Virginia and was your ancestor. I am directly descended from his elder brother, Iain, as a matter of interest. In the latter half of the 16th century, this branch of the Clan led such wild and hunted lives in the misty mountains that they became known as MacEagh or "Sons of the Mist." It may be that it is from this Gaelic patronym that James MacGregor took the name MacGehee." Persons who could be James, the Immigrant: 1. Thomas MackGehee who died in Virginia in 1727 2. James MacGregor who was in Virginia and Maryland and had one son, Hugh 3. William Mackgahye who was in Virginia in 1653 "Any of these could be correct, but #1 Thomas is eliminated because it would not seem possible that he could fight under Montrose with his father Patrick in 1645 and have young children in 1727 when he was over 100 years old. #2, James MacGregor, is eliminated because of the preponderance of family history linking the MackGehees with the MacGregors and because Sir Gregor MacGregor stated that the name MackGehee probably comes from MacEagh, a name meaning Children of the Mist. #3, William Macgahye is my choice. His two sons were William and Thomas. The children of Thomas MackGehee were: William, Anna, Diannah, Abraham, Edward, Mary, Samuel, Jacob and Sarah. The children of William, the Quaker, brother of Thomas, were probably: Catherine, wife of Thomas Butts, James, who married Rebecca Prewitt; and Samuel, who married Mary Ladd. Stark Young, in his famous and rare book "So Red the Rose" (about the McGehees of the 19th century in Mississippi, particularly in and around Natchez) quotes Lucy as saying "McGehee rhymes with McFee." From an essay by Dr. Clanton Ware Williams for his Master's Degree at Univ. of AL: " Under the next king (James V), the property of the MacGregors was confiscated. This property in turn, was redeemed by Queen Mary, with all the family honors, and that state of affairs lasted until Montrose Rebellion, in which Patrick MacGregor joined Montrose in support of the royal cause. . . . This was during the Civil War of 1644, in which Charles I was defeated and executed. The property of the MacGregors was again confiscated."
