Notes:

The families for Henry J McQuigg who married Margaret Houlhan and Henry J McQuigg who married Margaret Ross are forever getting confused. I believe that I have done a decent job of sorting the two families out.

This Henry McQuigg was committed to Kingston Insane Asylum on 10 Dec 1886 at the age of 47. He was admitted by his wife, Margaret and the committal was enforced by the the “Law” He repeated saw and spoke to the devil and had other visions. He was a cruel looking man although he was clean, tidy, orderly, and peaceful. He died in the asylum on 18 Jan 1897 of heart disease.

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.
