Scottish origins of our McPhee family by Bernie McPhee The MacDonells were entrenched in Lochaber, on both sides of the Spean River, and the McPhees were embedded in Lochaber with them even from the earliest times, and starting this intimate association soon after the death of the First Lord of the Isles when the Keppoch MacDonells were granted the Lordship of Lochaber. One can only presume that the McPhee of Glen Spean family of Angus McPhee had been in Lochaber for hundreds of years before this, to be noble enough to marry into the family of Alexander Carrach MacDonell Keppoch, whose grandmother was Margaret Stewart, the sister of King Robert II King of the Scots. It is not unreasonable to conclude from the smattering of evidence available that before they were ever in Lochaber, the McPhees were in Islay, in fealty and sword service to the MacDonalds, before the MacDonalds were Lords of the Isles. Return to Lochaber. At the dedication of the Church of St Margaret in Roy Bridge in 1932, are Archbishop McIntosh of Glasgow, with Crozier and Mitre, a native of Moidart, and Archbishop MacDonald, on his right in the picture, a native of Roy Bridge. Page 14 And here in 1841 we have John Inverary McPhee living a charmed life, as were other McPhee families in Lochaber, those who were still under the special patronage or protection of the remnant of the MacDonells of Keppoch, and under the protection of the Camerons, until in 1853, after the death of his wife Charlotte MacArthur, John Inverary McPhee brought all his seven children to Australia. In 1841, according to the Census of that year, there were 337 MacPhee people in 45 family groups and others singly, registered as living in Lochaber, and most of them were still there in 1851. Eighty per cent of all these MacPhees were registered as having been born in the area in which they were found to be living in 1841. Six of these 337 MacPhee people were born in the 1750’s. It was only later, in the years 1852 to 1855 that Lochaber lost hundreds of McPhee emigrants to Australia. John McPhee Family
