Have a THOMAS McGEORGE born 1797 in URR PARISH (says US naturalizaton papers). Other details: left Scotland 9 June 1817, and in the U.S. (Maine) first settled in Marion Township on 20 Dec. 1826. May 3, 1835 he moved to East Machias township, settling about nine miles north of the town, where the railway tracks cross Route 191. Any guesses on his parents or best way forward?

Hi T Moffat,
The Thomas first name is fairly unusual for McGeorges. There were a few in Urr around that date, but no Thomas born 1797. Unfortunately about this date there was a tax put onto parish register entries, so people of course didn't bother. I have quite a few McGeorges born about this date, but not in the old Parish Registers and had died before the 1851 census Very frustrating.
The closest Thomas I can come up with was born 1814, Urr, however he married Jane Blacklock 1850 in Urr. This family went to Missouri.
Who did your Thomas marry? Sometimes I can connect families through the wifes name.
cheers

Hi everyone,
I have a John McGeorge born about 1775 in Auchenreoch, Kirkudbright which is very near to Urr. This John married a Jean Baxter abt 1816 in Springholm, Urr. His father was a Peter McGeorge and I THINK he had brothers William abt. 1773, Robert abt. 1787 and Thomas abt. 1795. The last one would tie in with Thomas found in the USA born 1797. None of this is proven (except that John McGeorge had a father Peter McGeorge), but I will try and have a look at the Urr registers again sometime this week and see if I can find more.

This Thomas McGeorge emigrated 1817, and married in Marion Township in eastern Maine to a woman from Perry, Maine, Isetta Norwood, on 28 Sep 1836. The naturalization papers are certainly clear on the birthplace and year. The Urr Parish website is helpful with the 1802 Voters List, which does focus attention on Hermitage as the most likely location. Hermitage was within the Spotts estate, Michael Herries landlord at that time.

Thanks for the Hermitage info. The two things I didn't mention about Thomas McGeorge b. 1797:
1. Thomas McGeorge died suddenly (heart?) in Dec. 1849
2. Children, in order: Mary Elizabeth, Laura J., Margaret, Ruth Anne, Thomas F., Martha

On the 1802 Ballot List - these are the McGeorges:
McGeorge William Farmer Hermitage
McGeorge James Farmer Hermitage
McGeorge Thos Farmer Hermitage
McGeorge Joseph Farmer Maskfart
McGeorge Robert Farmer Nudtoun?
Given that my Thomas McGeorge is not a son of William, and neither Joseph nor Robert show up anywhere in the family in Maine, I would suggest likelihood of father as: 1. Thomas, and 2. James.
QUESTION: Do you have anything on this Thomas McGeorge who would have been a farmer at Hermitage in 1802?

I ran across this posting today. I am very interested in the Marion McGeorge married to John Pagan. My grandparents were Pagan's and Marion McGeorge was my second great grandmother. I have very little information about her or John. I now know she was buried in the Ruthwell Cemetery thanks to you. What other info do you have for her and John if possible. I also had a researcher do my Scotland hertiage about 15 years ago and at that time he spelled McGeorge MacGeorge so now I am wondering which is correct. Can you help me.
Thanks, I am so glad I ran across this website today.
Tricia Partridge grand daughter of John and Ruth Pagan.

Hi,
Marion McGeorge married John Pagan 24 Nov 1844 at Holywood, Dumfriesshire.
In the 1841 census she was living in Dumfries aged 14yrs with am Eliza Frazer 45 and Isabella Frazer I am not sure who the Frazers were. Maybe Marion was a servant?
By 1851 Marion was married and they were living in Dumfries. Marion was 25yrs and said she was born in Holywood. A Marion was born 1825 to a William and Jean Walker. Dates certainly fit.
Headstone
In memory of Hector, son of John Pagan, who died at Clarencefield 31th (sic) August in the 24 year of his age.
Also the above John Pagan who died at Clarencfield 19th April 1893 aged 75 years. Also Marion McGeorge wife of the above John Pagan who died at Ruthwell 19th February 1907 in her 83rd year.
I have quite a bit on Marion's parents and family, also a name of another researcher.
*** Do you have Marion's death certificate to confirm her parents?***
If you would like to email me off list at
(*)
for more information
cheers
Kay

Hello, as a late comer, I feel a bit lost in this thread, as it is a new name for me. I have just come across a Mary McGeorge who was the mother of my GGgrandmother. Mary would be born 1760-80ish and is probably the child of a John Mcgeorge and Margaret Macklauchey, as this side of my family came from Irongray, and I have lds record for this. But I have nothing else. I am a bit stuck. Other names I am linking in this area are Wilson, Richardson and Martin. I would be grateful for any information.
