Excerpt:

Gregor “Boich” (the Handsome), had gone under the surname of Drummond when he became a Captain in the Black Watch, a militia which served to keep the peace and suppress rebellion in the Highlands of Scotland. As a result of this service Gregor “Drummond” made influential friends in London, and in the 1770s he presented them with a petition to restore the Clan MacGregor. The petition became law in 1774, and Gregor was able to take up his clan name again before he died in 1777. His son Daniel was also able to set aside his false surname of Murray, and so when his son was born in 1786 he was the first of his family in several generations to be born and christened under the MacGregor name.
