Where did the Scottish MacKinder family come from? What is the Scottish MacKinder family crest and coat of arms? When did the MacKinder family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the MacKinder family history? The Picts, an ancient Scottish tribe, were the ancestors of the first person to use the name MacKinder. It was a name for a pilgrim from the Gaelic word deoradh. The deoradh kept the relics of saints. The family have been the hereditary custodians of St. Fillan's Crozier. Repeated and inaccurate translation of Scottish names from Gaelic to English and back resulted in a wide variety of spelling variations with single names. MacKinder has appeared Dewar, Dure, Dewyer, Dewer, McIndeor, McJarrow and many more. First found in Perthshire, where they held a family seat from very ancient times, some say well before the Norman Conquest and the arrival of Duke William at Hastings in 1066 A.D. This web page shows only a small excerpt of our MacKinder research. Another 177 words(13 lines of text) covering the year 1296 is included under the topic Early MacKinder History in all our PDF Extended History products. More information is included under the topic Early MacKinder Notables in all our PDF Extended History products. Many Scottish families suffered enormous hardships and were compelled to leave their country of birth. They traveled to Ireland and Australia, but mostly to the colonies of North America, where many found the freedom and opportunity they sought. It was not without a fight, though, as many were forced to stand up and defend their freedom in the American War of Independence. The ancestors of these Scots abroad have rediscovered their heritage in the last century through the Clan societies and other organizations that have sprung up across North America. Immigration and passenger ship lists show some important early immigrants bearing the name MacKinder: William and his wife Jane Dewar and two children settled in Antigua in 1774; John Dewar arrived in New York in 1823; Steven Dewer arrived in Antigua in 1679.
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto. Motto: Quid non pro patria Motto Translation: What would not one do for his country.
The MacKinder Family Crest was acquired from the Houseofnames.com archives. The MacKinder Family Crest was drawn according to heraldic standards based on published blazons. We generally include the oldest published family crest once associated with each surname. This page was last modified on 24 November 2010 at 15:27. ©2000-2012 Swyrich Corporation.
