• Notes

  A FAIRLY large proportion of the branches of the McCurdy family residing in America trace back to this Daniel. Several books of McCurdy genealogies have been written. Among them is Historical Genealogy of the McCurdy Family, already referred to. The student of this valuable little work will encounter “Uncle” Neil, and other uncles and aunts so mentioned; and occasionally these terms have been here retained for cross-reference. Daniel, who probably became heir of the “Cairn,” Ballintoy, was born in 1677, and died in 1747. He married Margaret Laughlin, probably of a Scottish refugee family. The had at least six children: (1) Cecilia, born about 1694, died 1779; (2) Patrick, born 1700, died 1798; (3) Daniel, born 1702; (4) James, born 1706; (5) Margaret, born 1710, died 1810; (6) Neil, born 1711, died 1808. There are some wonderfully long ages here, and the dates appear correct, except that (1) Cecilia may have been born and died ten years later, living between 1704 and 1789, making her birth follow Daniel and precede James. source: Blanchard, Henry Percy.
