  • Mcnair, Mcnear, and Mcneir GENEALOGIES
    McNAIR, McNEAR, AND McNEIR GENEALOGIES Compiled oy JAMES BIRTLEY McNAIR CHICAGO PUBLISHED BY THE AUTHOR i9z3 COPYRIGHT 1923 BY ]ADS BIR.TLE1!' MCNAIR All Rights Reserved Published April 1923 Composed and Printed By The University of Chicago Press Chica~o. Illinois, U.S.A. PREFACE In this book is given the legends which show that the McNairs are a division of the MacFarlane clan and that their home was on the borders of Loch Lomond, Scotland. It is also shown that the name Macnayr has been found on documents as early as 1390 and that a coat-of-arms was given by King Robert Bruce to a chieftain of the McNairs at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314. All the McNair, McNear, and McNeir genealogies obtainable have been collected in their more or less complete forms. Those in the United States have been arranged as far as possible under the states in which the head of the family resided at the time of the the first census in 1790. In order to show the distribution of McNairs in the United States at that time, that part of the census of 1790 which deals with McNairs is included. It is hoped that a later edition can be published which will con­ tain more information about the McNairs and McNair genealogies. I wish to express my grateful appreciation to those many members of the clan whose assistance has made this work possible, as well as to Mr. Albert C. McFarland and Miss Mary D. Alexander, of the University of Chicago Press, for careful editing of the manu­ script.

PUBLISHED MARCH 1929 COMPOSED AND PRINTED BY TlIE UNIVERSITY OJ!' CBICAGO PRESS CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, U.S.A. PREFACE It is five years since the first edition of M cN air, M cNear, and M cNeir Genealogies was published. Since that time additional gen­ ealogical information has been both sent in and collected. This ad­ ditional material is printed in this book. It is the hope of the author that still more information will be sent in so that another book will result. As is generally the case with genealogies the first edition was a financial failure. The present book would not have been printed had it not been for financial support from Dr. Rush McNair and Mr. George McNeir. To these the compiler extends his heartfelt appreciation. Research carried on in Northern Ireland and London has re­ sulted in more information about l\1cNairs in Ulster. This work has been carried on through the generosity of Mr. William l\!Ic­ Nair (28, p. 284). The writer also wishes to express his apprecia­ tion to Mr. Charles Knowles Bolton, the author of Scotch-Irish Pioneers, who aided in the Ulster research. Much credit is due Miss Jennie Graham McGuire, of Philadel­ phia, and Miss Jessica C.

    Vol 77, No. 2 www.loyallegion.org Summer 2020 Peter and Joan Dixon - 30 Years of Dedicated Service MOLLUS and DOLLUS are indeed fortunate to have the dedicated service and commitment of Peter and Joan Dixon in the planning and execution of the annual services honoring President Lincoln on the anniversary of his birthday on February 12 at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. Our own Peter Arrott Dixon, Chairman of the Lincoln Birthday National Commemorative Committee, has been conducting this ceremony for almost 30 years. This ceremony has been approved by the U.S. Congress as an annual event and the responsibility was given to MOLLUS many years ago with the LBNCC added in 1981. Work begins on planning for the next year’s event about five months in advance of February 12. Chairman Peter, along with his Vice Chair and D.C. DOLLUS’s Florence Stanley are responsible for contacts, emails, letters and phone calls, meetings involving the National Park Service, Military District of Washington, Military band and ceremonies, Military Color Guard, the White House, Diplomatic Corps, Allied Orders Wreath Layers, District of Columbia Mayor’s Office, hotel arrangements, marketing, programs, and transportation. Mayor of the District of Columbia, Muriel Bowser, participated in this year’s Ceremony due to Peter’s contacts in the Mayor’s office. We thank the Dixon’s and all D.C. MOLLUS and DOLLUS members involved with the excellent festivities marking President Lincoln’s birthday each year. Our 2011 MOLLUS Hayes Award recipient, Peter (now 90 years young), along with Joan and the others who have devoted so much energy to the February 12 activities willingly accept new volunteers to the committee to ensure the continuation of this treasured event.
