"A fairly large proportion of the branches of the McCurdy family residing in America trace back to this Daniel. . . .

"Daniel, who probably became heir of the "Cairn," Ballintoy, was born in 1677, and died in 1747. He married Margaret Laughlin, probably of a Scottish refugee family. They had at least six children:

• (1) Cecilia, born about 1694, died 1779;
• (2) Patrick, born 1700, died 1798;
• (3) Daniel, born 1702;
• (4) James, born 1706;
• (5) Margaret, born 1710, died 1810;
• (6) Neil, born 1711, died 1808."
