About James MacKey of Strathnaver

These profiles were disconnected from James MacKey of Strathnaver (this profile) as being his sons:

  1. David McKee
  2. Alexander McKee
  3. John McKee
  4. James MacKey of Strathnaver
  5. Hugh Mckee, Anahilt Branch

Conflicting trees differ as to the parentage of the four described McKee brothers who settled County Down and County Antrim. In some cases, James Mckee of Strathnaver, Highland County, Scotland is said to be their father. However, there is a more detailed tree available, which is based in Wigtown. This is much more likely (and much more complete), so I've (Karl David Wright) used that tree as parents of the four named brothers.'

A good possible starting point to research this branch - would be Donald Mackay, 1st Lord Reay (1614-1650) , fiar of Strathnaver
