Mavity's pre 1770
« on: Tuesday 29 July 08 02:32 UTC (UK) »
Greetings all.
I am looking for information on a Robert Mavity who married Margaret Morton.  They had a son named William b. 8 Nov 1747 and they came to America in 1765 to Virginia.
I believe they were from the Kinawley or Devenish areas since that's where I see Mortons and Mavity's, along with the other variations McVittie/McVity etc.. together.

I have done a 37 marker DNA test and am REAL close to the Glendennings of Dumfriesshire Scotland.
Other names that show up are Elliot, Irvine, Vance
The test reveals that approx. 300 years ago, I had a common ancestor with these Glendennings with a 95% probability.

There is even a McVittie hit but that person is further off than the Glendennings.

thanks

Dear Brian,
It sounds like you are having the same problem as me in terms of finding early records of McVtys or in my case McVitties in Ireland.
You mention a strong Scottish connection through DNA tests, just in case you haven't found the site as yet go to www.mcvittie.co.uk that is run by an Allan McVittie that might just give you some more clues for your early crowd! As I say you probably have already found it but in case you haven't.
The spelling of the name has varied to much over the centuries there could be some matches for you in the McVittie spelling.
Best of luck,
James McVittie
