HI, I have just discovered my ggggreat granparents were James McGhie and Ann Jackson from Ireland......I am a Scottish McGhee tracing my ancestors in Galloway Scotland....I know some of them left late 1600s to go over to Ireland and farm the confiscated Catholic lands (Many Galloway families did this ) This resulted in the Ulster Planataion and the Scotch Irish connection (a term nor used here in Scotland but used mainly in USA) As I said I know my McGhees left Galloway to go to Ireland and returned in the form of my gggreat grandfather Hugh McGhee who although married and buried in Galloway Scotland was born in Ireland....
I have only very recently found out that Hugh McGhie's parents were James McGhie and Ann Jackson, James McGhie was a soldier.....Where they lived in Ireland, I have still to assertain but I am now looking for any Jackson connections....Hugh McGhie was born about 1780 odds in
Ireland (I am looking for any info on his parents even negative info....I look forward to hearing from you ....Who knows we may be connected through our Jackson line....
