Daniel McCranie, Sr

A Patriot of the American Revolution for SOUTH CAROLINA (Soldier). DAR Ancestor # A075833

    This site was created by Charlie McCraney to continue the works of  my brother-in-law Ron Wilson and sister Margaret McCraney Wilson.

We need to finalize the link from Gillour MacCrain of Yura, Scotland to Daniel McCraney. as per Charlie McCraney. Can anyone help??

     Daniel McCranie was born about 1745 in Scotland. Sources vary on his parents. Anthony McCranie, McCranie Isle of Jura Argyllshire, Scotland McCranie Families North Carolina and Georgia, 1987, and The Heritage of Lowndes County 2000, differ in that the former has Hugh and Christian McCranie from Jura, Argyllshire, Scotland as the parents of Daniel McCranie, born ca. 1745, died about 1800, while the latter has parents as Murdock McCranie and Marian McLean:

     The Heritage of Lowndes County 2000 has of Murdock McCranie that in September 1739, from Argyll on the West Coast of Scotland, Murdock arrived at Cape Fear, North Carolina. Murdock was born on the Isle of Jura and christened on 8 April 1707. He settled in Robeson County and sent for his wife, Marian McLean and children, Calvin, Norman, Catherine, Sarah, and Daniel. The son, John, was born in North Carolina. Murdock died 21 May 1762, in Cumberland County.

     Ronald McRaney on 19 February 2000 wrote: "I have Hew/Hugh Aobh christened on August 8, 1704 Isle of Jura, Scotland according to the OPR (Old Parish Registers), died 1788 buried in McKay Cemetery, Lillington, NC. Married to Mary McPhetrus. I have his brother Murdock christened April 7, 1707 Isle of Jura, Scotland again OPR records, died in NC as well, had son Daniel b 1745, had son Daniel b 1772 d June 17, 1854 that married Sarah McMILLAN, we know the rest. I do not have copies of the OPR records, but understand from reliable sources that they are there. The Mormons did copy them and have them recorded in the archives."

     Daniel McCranie married Catherine Shaw in Robeson County, North Carolina. He served in the Cumberland County Militia during the American Revolution and was pensioned and given land for his service. With his family consisting of: Daniel, John, Calvin, Nancy, Norman, Catherine, and Sarah, he moved to Bulloch County, Georgia where he died about 1823.
