Alice (Allie) McQuiddy

This tradition is so similar to the one reported by Myra McMurtry that it seems likely that this tradition was reported to Dr. Todd by the McQuiddys in the 1880s or 1890s, but reported in such a way as to be misunderstood and projected back into the previous generation. A recent McQuiddy history stated that Alice McKee’s mother was a Lowery, suggesting that McQuiddy historians had been unaware of the tradition that Alice’s mother was a Todd. It is only in Alice McQuiddy’s branch where Todd was used as a middle name. They must have assumed that Mary Gaines who married David McQuiddy was a widow Gaines, but born a Todd.
