CLAN MacQUAIG

Motto: Per mare, per terras

Translation: By Sea, By Land

Sept: Listed as a sept of the clans Farquharson, Campbell, MacLeod, Gunn, MacNaughton, Donald

Spelling: Spelling variations of this name include: Coig, MacQuagge, MacQuage, MacQuaig, McQuaig, McQuag, MacCuaig, McCuaig, MacCowag, McCowag, McCrivag and more.

Origins of the name: The surname Coig originated among the Celtic people of ancient Scotland. They spoke Scots Gaelic, a language that survives to this day and is closely related to the Goidelic spoken in Ireland. This is a language rich in idiom and expression whose influence is felt throughout Scotland and particularly so in the Highlands. The word "coig" means "five" in Gaelic. In Goidelic, the same word is "cuig". However, it is unlikely that the name derived from this word in its inception. At present, there is some confusion about where and in what form the surname Coig first appeared. Our research so far points to a possible Irish beginning in the form "O'Quig", which later became McQuig when some of the family settled in Scotland. Another possibility is that it originated in Scotland as "MacCooish" or "MacCuag" which are included in the list of septs of the clan MacDonald. But a more likely provenance is the form “MacCaig”, which is included in the list of septs of the clan MacLeod of Harris. Also, the clan Farquharson lists "MacCaig", "MacCuag" and "MacQuaig" among its families. To the best of our knowledge, our family name is now extinct in Scotland in its present form, but it may survive in one or more of its alternative spellings. The "Coig" form survives mainly in France, Spain and the United States.

Location: This clan is first found in the Hebrides where they held a family seat. They were located in Islay where they were recognized as a Sept. of Clan Donald. Later they were also found on the Isle of Arran.

Notes:

Malcolm McQuaig’s father’s name was Henry McQuaig, he was born in the Highlands of Scotland near the coast. His father was well off, was a farmer, and had houses rented too, and had nice ponies and brought some of them over to Ireland to his son Henry, as Henry moved over to Ireland when he was quite young and Henry was a farmer in Ireland, besides Malcolm; Henry had a son John and a daughter whose name was Catherine, and when Malcolm came to Canada two of his sons Robert and Henry stayed in Ireland for three years after with their Uncle John and Aunt Catherine who never married and lived on the old home place of their father’s, that is of Henry’s. Then in 1850 Malcolm’s two sons Henry and Robert crossed the ocean to Canada too. The grandfather Henry’s wife’s maiden name ws McCauley.

Title : Lease for 7 yrs, life of Right Rev. Nathaniel ...
Dates : 1 February 1822
Description : Lease for 7 yrs, life of Right Rev. Nathaniel Lord Bishop of Down and Connor at rent of £15.16. 0 per year, concerning Rt Hon. Wm Lord Beresford, Sir George Fitzgerald Hill, Sir John Poe Beresford and Henry McQuig, Culcrow, Agivey, and relating to land at Culcrow, 4 acres 1 rood 30 perches and at Clomback (GLENBACK??), 9 acres 2 roods.

In the 1831 Irish Census there was a Henry Quigg in Bovagh Townland, Agahdowey, Londonderry, Northern Ireland with a family of 6 males and 2 females. Also in the 1831 Irish Census there is a Henry Quigg living in Culcrow Townland, Agivey, Londonderry, Northern Ireland with a family of 4 males and 3 females.

When Henry died is the question. James Malcolm left home in 1847 for Canada and left behind his two sons in the care of his brother, John, and sister, Catherine, in the home of his father. In 1850, John marries and his two oldest sons join him in Canada. There I am going to presume from the family history that Henry died in 1847.

Henry married McCauley, Mary. in UNKNOWN. Mary. was born in 1784 in Glenkeen Townland, Agadowey Parish, Londonderry, Northern Ireland; died in DECEASED in Bovagh Townland, Aghadowey Parish, Londonderry, Northern Ireland. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Upon a lot of introspection I have changed this surname from McCauley to McAuley. First I could never find any McCauley families in the area but plent of McAuley. Secondly I have seen this spelling mistake made before.
