THE CLAN HANNAY SOCIETY NEWSLETTER-2017 Created Exclusively for Clan Hannay Society Members - Issue 18 - November 2017 THE CLAN HANNAY SOCIETY NEWSLETTER-2017 Created exclusively for Clan Hannay Society Members - Issue 18 - November 2017 2017 An Exciting Year for Clan Hannay Chief’s Message This year has been busy with a visit to New York during Tartan Week in April, to raise funds for the restoration of Sorbie Tower. In August, Scottish clans were represented at the Edinburgh Tattoo with two or three clans at each performance. Clan Hannay led by the Chief, paraded with the MacGregors and Buchanans, while Edinburgh castle was illuminated with the clan tartans. In September, the Convenor organised three ‘Mostly Ghostly’ evenings at the tower during the Wigtown Book Festival. The tower and grounds were illuminated, while stories were told and proved very popular. In November, the tower was decorated with a cascade of poppies to commemorate Remembrance Sunday. Sorbie Tower is being well used and has many visitors. We hope to see you there and that you will contribute to its restoration for future generations. David R Hannay, Clan Chief Tartan Day Parade, New York City The Clan Hannay New York reception and Tartan Day Parade were special not just because I got to see my Scottish cousins, but also because I got to meet my first cousins Beverly Hanna Charles and Cindy Hanna Todd. Our fathers were very close in age, but because they grew up in Massachusetts and I grew up in southern California, we had not spent time together. From the moment we met, I felt like I’ve known them all my life. We thought it was too bad we couldn’t have shared the experience with our dads. They would’ve loved it, but sadly both have passed away. One of my favorite moments was when the three of us proudly donned our Hannay tartan and marched in the parade. I also loved meeting all the other wonderful Hannas/Hannays/Hannahs/Hanneys at the reception and during the visit. Ren Hanami Hanna Top Row: Ren Hanami Hanna.

Approval of 2016 minutes The minutes were approved by Dr David Hannay and seconded by Keith Hannay. 3 1 3. Matters Arising Keith Hanna the Clan Genealogist, who unfortunately was unable to attend the AGM, has completed a review on the surnames eligible for membership of the Clan Hannay Society; Hanna / Hannah / Hannay / Hanney, worldwide. As of 2014 we can estimate the number of individuals globally (of Scottish descent) holding the four Clan surnames as: Hanna - 92,000 Hannah - 48,000 Hannay - 3,000 Hanney - 3,000 The reason the name Hanna is the most common is because it is of Middle Eastern origin. The Clan has amended the relevant sentence in the Membership Policy to state: Membership of the Society is open to all those with the surname, Hannay, Hannah, Hanna or Hanney, who originate from South West Scotland; their families, descendants and relatives by marriage. 4. Convenor’s Report Stephen welcomed everyone to Garlieston for the 2017 Gathering. It has been an interesting year, with lots of ideas hopefully bought to fruition. Work has been completed to restore the double doorway on the third floor, which is the first dressed sandstone to be fitted into Sorbie Tower since the 1970s when the fireplace was reinstated The scaffolding that is in place within the Tower has been purchased by the Clan Society, and allows greater access to the upper levels for weed control. We are obliged to monitor the scaffolding and complete a yearly report on its condition. We have now engaged a new conservation architect, Scotwham Architects, based in Ayrshire. Our next phase of work would ideally be to fill the hole in the kitchen vaulting, if allowed, and then work towards the staircase. We hope to complete the much needed toilet facilities at the Sorbie Tower site in the next few months, because we want to promote Sorbie Tower for a number of things, as well as a wedding venue. In April we made the long awaited fundraising trip to America, where we met members and new friends. For fundraising in America we produced a Sorbie Tower Restoration brochure, which is now available for sale at £5 per copy to Clan members. Thanks to Chris Hanna and the team at Creetown Initiative for the work they have put in producing the brochure. Please remember easyfundraising when doing Internet shopping in the UK. By nominating Clan Hannay as your chosen charity we receive a percentage of the sale price. In November my project for the Tower is to celebrate Remembrance, by producing a ‘Weeping Window’. I am using 9,000 crochet poppies which were handmade by the Women’s Royal Institute and displayed at Carlisle Castle. I am going to produce a weeping window installation, hopefully with help from a team at Poppy Scotland, who have agreed to divide funds raised 50/50 between Poppy Scotland and the Sorbie Tower Charity. People will be able to purchase poppies from the installation and the event will run from 1st November until Armistice Day on 12th November. The next twelve months are going to be really busy. A big thank you to our dedicated team, who without their efforts none of what we do would be possible. Stephen Hanna, Clan Hannay Convenor 5.

  • The Mccords of Skaith, Wigtownshire
    The McCords of Skaith, Wigtownshire Alan Milliken, Scotland George F. Black, in his book Surnames of Scotland, offers an interesting explanation for the origin of the surname McCord in Scotland. He says it is an old surname in the parish of Ballantrae and cites Paterson’s History of Ayrshire as his source. Paterson, however, offers no examples to illustrate its antiquity in the parish1. From the earliest parish church records, which date from 1731, the names of a number of McCords appear in the baptismal, marriage and burial registers. On November 8, 1734, John McCord and Margaret McNilly both of the parish of Ballantrae gave up their names to be married before the Kirk Session and after the calling of banns three Sabbaths, they were married on November 28, 1734. Over the next ten years, John McCord and Margaret McNilly had at least six children2. 1. Thomas McCord bapt., February 12, 1736. 2. John McCord bapt., February 22, 1738. 3. Agnes McCord bapt., March 2, 1740. 4. Jean McCord bapt., June 23, 1742. 5. Unnamed child bapt., either June 12, 1745, or July 12, 1746. 6. Unnamed child bapt., May 30, 1749. They lived for a time in the little hamlet of Carlefin, which is located south of the village of Ballantrae across the river Stinchar. It is very possible John McCord was either the son or grandson of another John McCord, who lived at Little Bennan to the north of Ballantrae in the parish of Colmonell. According to the 1691 Hearth Tax of Colmonell, John was liable for the one-off tax payment of 14 shillings at Candlemas (February 2nd)3.
