The MacInnes Clan includes the MacCant, McCant, McCance, McCann
lines. Altho MacCant was not a clan, or a Sept they were in the
district which MacInnes was the leader, and thus associated with
this clan. The MacInnes is a Celtic Clan of ancient origin with
lands on Morvern and at Ardnamurchan, and a branch of the clan
were hereditary bowmen to the chief of Clan MacKinnon. The
Chiefship is dormant. (Would love to have any info on this
aspect of our dear ancestors.)
King James I had destroyed almost all of the people who lived in
the northern portion of Ireland, Counties Donegal, Londonderry,
Tyrone, Armagh, Antrim and Down. After this northern part of
Ireland had been cleared of Roman Catholics and their property
confiscated, the English government induced a great many of
these Scotch Congregationalists, living in Argyll, Sterling,
Renfrew, Glasgow, Lanark, Ayr, and Bute, to cross the North
Channel into counties Antrim and Down, Ireland, and there
repopulate the country. They came in great numbers. When
William of Orange ascended the throne of England, these
Congregationalists, or Presbyterians in Scotland and especially
in Ireland, would enjoy the right to work out their own
spiritual salvation according to their own notions. It was at
this time that most of the Scots, who later came to
Williamsburgh Township, SC, migrated into the Counties Down and
Antrim, Ireland.
For about 30 years, the Scots, who had gone into the north of
Ireland thought that they had found the promised land. They
understood they had received absolute titles to the land on
which they lived and went to work immediately to develop them.
Later, after they had transformed a wilderness into a pleasing
place for human habitation, they realized that they had been
tricked when they were forced to submit to the imposition of
enormous rents imposed by absentee landlords. Many of them in
about 1720 came to the New England States, Pennsylvania and
South Carolina, but most of the original settlers in
Williamsburg elected to remain in Ireland until about 1735, when
they came direct to Williamsburg Township. A few of them had
come to ths section between 1725 and 1732 and had settled on
Black River.
David McCants landed in North Carolina and removed to
Williamsburgh Township, County Craven, SC and was one of the
original settlers of Kingstree, Williamsburgh Township, SC.
He settled between 1720-1730 and became a planter and a tanner.
His plantation was located on Black Mingo Creek near Indian
Town. David died as a result of a fall from his horse while
riding up the lane to his home. David has many descendants.
During the Revolutionary War, David, John, William and Thomas
McCants served in General Marion's Brigade. There were several
British Campaigns in this district. After the Revolution,
Williamsburg had to come again almost from pioneer conditions.
( p 116)
David seems to have been a son of Andrew Cant of Aberdeen
arriving in SC 1720-1734 possibly with the group brought over by
Roger Gordon who brought a number of Scot-Irish families to
America on the ship Happy Return from Belfast. Some accounts by
family historians say David arrived in South Carolina about
1720-30, but we have found no records of the family before 1734.
In History of the Old Cheraws, author Alexander Gregg says that
in 1730 Gov. Robert Johnson desiring to promote settlement gave
50 acres for each man, woman and child. Each settler was to pay
four shillings a year for each 100 acres, except the first ten
years would be rent free.
W.W. Boddie's "History of Williamsburgh" place David, John,
James and William McCants in Williamsburgh by 1740, possible
brothers, exact relationship not determined.
On July 5, 1740 David McCants was granted 250 acres in
Williamsburgh Township. Planter lease dated 23 Mar 1759, Craven
Co. SC and Release Mar 24, 1759 for L 500 current money: "The
said James, heir to David McCants to whom was formerly granted
by original grant Plantation 250 acres within Township of
Williamsburgh in Craven Co. butting east on Township and on all
sides by vacant land likewise one town lot in Williamsburgh 1/2
acre known in Grand Plan of Town by #252. Money Recd." James &
John transferred by lease this land of David's to Alexander
McKnight.
There is an Alexander McCants who may have also been a brother
... but he could be a son of one of the above.
In 1800, Lots in Kingstree were owned by Thomas McCants #42;
David McCants, Sr.#367; Patrick Lindsay #340; and William Scott
#338.
- Family tradition is that David McCants came to America from
County Down, Ireland, near the town of Newtonnards, and that he
brought with him a son James, age eighteen. However, there is
no proof of this and the theory is even disputed by some members
of the family. With the migration of David from Scotland to
Northern Ireland and then to American, the family became
dresignated in America as "Scot-Irish".
"There is much dispute as to who by the name of McCants first
came to America and the relationship of the first by the name to
come. However, for the record, we will use the information
provided by the sources previously given in our traditional
account. This may later be proven incorrect but will provide us
some satisfaction for the present."
South Carolina did not have counties as we know them until 1785.
Prior to this time, there were only four counties Granville,
Colleton, Berkeley, and Craven. Deeds from 1719-1785 for all
land transactions were recorded in Charleston. SC does not have
ship passenger lists except for a few in the 1760s and 1770s.
Births, Marriage and Death records were not required until
1911-1915.
From "Three Hundred Years of the De Hay family in SC 1670-1970";
compiled by Estelle de Hay, Moncks Corner, SC and Greensboro,
NC.
Re: the McCants Line - David McCants, wife Elizabeth, and son
James came from Scotland in 1730 and lived in the Williamsburg,
Kingstree area. He died in 1742 (we have 1759) and his will was
proved in the Charleston District but could not be found in
Abstracts of SC Wills for years 1740-1760. There is no mention
of other children.
James McCants, the son of Elizabeth and David McCants,
(1712-1772), served as King's Officer--Justice of the Peace
Craven County now Williamsburg County (ref. Register book Prince
Frederick Parish p. 52); Colonial Dames of SC accept descendants
of James McCants on his record as King George's Justice.

CONFLICT IN DATES: He was married 1740 to Agnes DONNALLY and
there were six children. His second marriage in 1761 was to
Martha JACKSON, widow of William Jackson; no children are
mentioned and no children born to James and Martha. He was
married a third time to Agnes MUNNERLYN d. 1782. James McCants'
will left all property to Agnes and beloved son James.
Various records in Misc. Book 1767-1771 show that James McCants
of Prince Frederick Par. sells to Robt. Winter and James Lindsay
two negroes each. Note: James McCants literally gives the
above negroes to his two sons-in-law as his two daughters'
portions of his estate and puts it "sells" and price of each so
other heirs cannot claim them as part of his estate at his
death.
This book shows 7 children of James McCants:
Mary m. James Lindsay
Jean m. Robert Winter
Son returned to Scotland
Son returned to Scotland
James the son of Agnes Munnerlyn in Rev War, but was not living
in 1790, according to census.
Nathaniel m. Elizabeth Gautier; two children Robert - no
records;
Jean m. James McCants, son of Thomas McCants.
Thomas 1741-1830, son of Agnes DONNALLY m. Anne Reed in 1778.
His son James McCants m. in 1805 his cousin Jean McCants (one of
the twins born in 1779 to Nathaniel and Elizabeth Gautier.)
There are vague but persistent indications that Thomas McCants,
son of James and Agnes Donnally, had a son named Nathaniel
McCants as well as a brother Nathaniel who married Elizabeth
Gautier.
It is known that a dau of John and Elizabeth Cockfield de Hay
named Elizabeth married a McCants (as did her sister Ann). Her
probable birthdate was 1760-1770. A son is named John (her
father); Jean (sister of Thomas McCants; David (Thomas'
grandfather) and Elizabeth (name of mother and grandmother).
James is the name of another son of Thomas McCants, and James
Packer is evidently the husband of daughter Elizabeth.

Chapter I - Before Williamsburg had a Name.
"The territory in Southern North America claimed by the British
at the beginning of the seventeenth century was called Virginia.
In 1663, that portion South of the parallel of latitude 36° 33'
was separated from Virginia and named Carolina in ;honor of
Charles II, King of England. This territory however, had been
designated Carolina by Charles I when he made in 1629 a grant of
land to Sir Robert Keith.
Charles II granted Carolina in 1663 to eight noblemen, known as
Lords Proprietors. At that time, ther were a few scattered
settlements along the Roanoke and Chowan Rivers, in what is now
North Carolina, but none other in all the vast territory
denominated Carolina

Chapter III - Original Settlers
From 1735 to 1737, a great many settlers came to the new
township on Black River and practically every acre of land had
been taken up by these settlers within a year after the township
had been surveyed. Every man settling here was granted a half
acre town lot and fifty acres of land in the township for
himself, his wife, and each one of his children.

These original settlers in Williamsburg Township came from
England, Ireland, Scotland, Germany, Holland, and from the New
England States, Pennsylvania & Virginia. They were all about the
same class of men. They were people who had been non-conformists
as to State-Church religion, and nearly all of their families
had lost their property in the religious conflicts of the
seventeenth century. The greater number of them had lived in
Ireland for many years before coming to America. They had
migrated from England and from Scotland to Ireland on account of
fair promises on the part of the English King. These failing
them, they sought refuge in America.

Ulster-Scots
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Ulster-Scots" is a term used generally to refer to Protestants
in what is today Northern Ireland. "Scotch-Irish" or
increasingly "Scots-Irish" are terms used by most in North
America to refer to the same people and in particular their
descendants who subsequently migrated across the Atlantic.
The term specifically refers to Presbyterian Scots or their
descendents who migrated from the Scottish Lowlands to Ulster
(the northern province of Ireland). The migration of Scots to
Ulster occurred largely across the 17th century (as detailed in
the article History of Scotland).
Considerable numbers of Ulster-Scots migrated to the North
American colonies throughout the 18th century (250,000 settled
in the USA between 1717 and 1770 alone). Disdaining the heavily
English regions on the Atlantic coast, most groups of
Ulster-Scot settlers crossed into the "western mountains", where
their descendants populated the southern Appalachian regions and
the Ohio Valley. Others settled in northern New England and
north-central Nova Scotia.
In the 2000 US Census, 4.3 million Americans (more than 2% of
the white population in the USA) claimed Scots-Irish ancestry,
although there are estimated to be upwards of 20 million
Americans from across the USA who can trace the roots of at
least one ancestor to Ulster. 14 of the 42 Presidents of the
United States (1 in 3) have had ancestral links to Ulster,
including three whose parents were born in Ulster. Several
hundred thousand descendants of settlers from Ulster also live
in Canada today.
The term Scotch-Irish
"Scotch-Irish" is a North American term that has been used since
settlement to describe descendents of Scottish Presbyterians
from the Scottish Lowlands who first migrated to Ulster and
later settled in North America throughout the 18th century.
Other names, including "Northern Irish" and "Irish
Presbyterians", were also originally used to describe these
people.
It is believed that these already century-settled immigrants,
now well established in American society, increasingly referred
to themselves as "Scotch-Irish" in order to distinguish
themselves as having Scottish origins against the later
indigenous Irish arrivals of mainly Catholic origin that arrived
in substantial numbers in America after the Irish potato famine
of the 1840s. The term "Scotch" at that time in history was the
favoured adjective as a designation - it literally means "...of
Scotland".
As people from Scotland nowadays refer to themselves as "Scots"
or "Scottish", the term "Scotch" has become dated. It may even
be considered an ethnic slur as it nowadays refers only to
whisky outside of an American context. Consequently, the term
"Scots-Irish" has recently become more frequently used even in
North America, as it is used in the name the popular American
historical book "Born Fighting: How the Scots-Irish Shaped
America".
Confusingly perhaps for those outside of the US and Canada, the
term "Scotch-Irish" or "Scots-Irish" does not refer either to
simply Scottish or Irish or a combination of the two and is
therefore considered by many to be less accurate a term than
"Ulster-Scots/Scottish".
The linguist R. J. Gregg has also used the term "Scotch-Irish"
to refer to the contact variety of the Scots language spoken in
Ulster, what European linguists refer to as "Ulster Scots" or
Ullans.

In Scotland national registration started later than in England
and Wales, in fact in 1855. On the other hand, the Scottish
certificates are more informative, and themselves can be viewed
on microfiche. Parish Registers mainly date from 1740.
Researching Irish ancestry is bedevilled by the fact that many
census records, and Church of Ireland parish registers, were
destroyed when the national archives were burnt in 1922.
However Roman Catholic parish registers mainly survive, though
few date back beyond the end of the 18th century.
There are various other sorts of records, but it is very rare
for anyone to be able to trace a line further back than the
early 17th century.
I think your first stop for IRL would be the National Archives.
There are staff there that can help you. Perhaps after this
stop you will know what you may want to do in County Down. I
did not see anything about cemetery listings, but that has
always been helpful to me. Anyway, you will need the county,

For the period before 1864 parish registers provide the only
record of most births,
marriages and deaths. Catholic parish registers are normally
still held by the parish priest, but there are microfilms of
most of them for the period up to 1880 in the National Library,
Kildare Street, Dublin 2. In some cases the written permission
of the parish priest must be obtained before the microfilms can
be seen. The National Archives has a copy of the National
Library's list of the registers.
Church of Ireland parish registers for the period up to 1870 are
public records. Registers are available for about one- third of
the parishes. Most are still held by the local clergy, although
some are in the National Archives and others are in the
Representative Church Body Library, Braemor Park, Dublin 14, and
P.R.O.N.I., Belfast. There are microfilms or other copies in the
National Archives of some of the registers held by the clergy. A
list of all surviving registers is available in the National
Archives. The names and addresses of the clergy are given in the
Church of Ireland
Directory. A list and a card index of registers in the National
Archives can also be consulted.
Records of marriage licences provide information concerning some
Church of Ireland marriages before 1845. Persons wishing to
obtain a licence to marry without having banns called were
required to enter into a bond with the bishop of the diocese.
The licences and bonds do not survive, but the indexes to the
bonds lodged in each Diocesan Court and the Prerogative Court
are available in the National Archives. Some of the Indexes have
been published. Betham's abstracts to Prerogative and Dublin
Diocesan marriage licences give further details. Some other
records of marriage licences are indexed in the testamentary
card index.
Before 1858 grants of probate and administration were made by
the courts of the Church of Ireland (the Prerogative Court and
the Diocesan or Consistorial Courts). There are separate indexes
of wills and administrations for each court. Some of the indexes
have been published. Of these the most important are Vicar's
Index to Prerogative Wills, 1536-1810 and the Indexes to Dublin
Grant Books and Wills, 1270- 1800 and 1900-58
Betham's abstracts of wills proved in the Prerogative Court
