Notes:

Malcolm was born in 1804 as confirmed by multiple sources. The place has always been iffy ranging from Scotland to all over Northern Ireland. In Maria Grant’s Manuscript “A Brief Sketch of the Life of Maria Amelia McQuaig” she recounts details about her husband, father-in-law, and other McQuigg ancestors.

Henry McQuaig’s father’s name was Malcolm; he was of Scotch descent, but born in Ireland, County Derry, Parish of Asha Dewy, town of Colrain.

Malcolm’s wife’s maiden name was Jane Brown.

To them were born six sons, and five daughters Elizabeth ,Mary, Jane, Sarah, Margaret, Robert, Henry, James, John, William and Thomas.

These children were all born in Ireland, and Robert and Henry remained three years in Ireland after the rest came to Canada.

Sometime between 1824-1825, Malcolm was know to have attended collage at the Belfast Royal Institute. After three semester he did not receive his General Degree.

In 1826 Malcolm was head master at private school in Droghed. He was paid between 25 and 30 pounds per year teaching in a brick and stone schoolhouse that cost 100 pounds.

At the time of his marriage in 1832 he was a grower and spinner of flax in Culcorw Townland.

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.

Notes:

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.
