Post 301 A: Clan MacGregor; Archibald MacGregor
Archibald MacGregor, born 1720 in Scotland; died 1758 probably in North Carolina. He married Edith Effie MacAlpin, who was born in Scotland in 1724/25, died in North Carolina.
On April 6th, 1746, the Battle of Culloden was fought between 9,000 British Redcoats and 5,000 weak and starving Scottish patriots, amoung them (Henry) MacAlpin, father of Edith MacAlpin, and Archibald MacGregor, son-in-law of (Henry) and husband of Edith. This, the last battle of the "Forty-five rebellion". The Scots were led by "Bonnie Prince Charlie", Prince Charles Edward Louis John Casimir Sylvester Severino Maria Stuart, a.k.a. Charles III. The British were led by William Augustus, Duke of Cumberland. The battle lasted only forty minutes and was a complete rout of the Scots. Only fifty Redcoats were killed as opposed to 1,000 Scotsmen. Amoung the dead was (Henry) MacAlpin. Archibald survived the battle and was not captured. History teaches that in the following five months, a massive manhunt was conducted throughout Scotland for the remaining patroits. It has been speculated that during this time, Archibald and Edith MacGregor escaped Scotland and set sail for America.

As shown in post 270 A:, Archibald and Edith MacAlpin are my ancestors through their daughter Ann MacGregor, born Feb. 04, 1756 in North Carolina and died before 1830 in Oil Springs, Kentucky. She, Ann, married Captain Henry Connelly (Conley) in North Carolina in Guilford County. Their daughter was Elizabeth L. Connelly (Conley), who married Aaron Tate. They had several children, amoung them Maburn Tate, born 1811. He married Delanna (Delany) Killian [daughter on Daniel Killian and Mary Elizabeth Magdalena Bost] in Fort Payne, DeKalb County, Alabama. One of their children was Elizabeth (Betty) Tate who married Solomon S. Puryear. The eldest of their four daughters was Mary Ada Puryear who was born in Scottsboro, Jackson County, Alabama on December 19, 1876. Mary Ada married Linnville Andrews Dugger of Sweetwater, Tennessee. The eldest of their three children was Rosa Grace Dugger. Rosa married Wiley Sanford Barnes. Rosa and Wiley are the parents of my mother, Ruby Cathrine Barnes.
