Origin Displayed: Scottish

Where did the Scottish McClung family come from? What is the Scottish coat of arms/family crest? When did the McClung family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the history of the family name?

In ancient Scotland, the first people to use McClung as a surname were the Strathclyde- Britons. It was a name someone who lived in Ayrshire.

It is only in the last few hundred years that rules have developed and the process of spelling according to sound has been abandoned. Scottish names from before that time tend to appear under many different spelling variations. McClung has been spelled MacLurg, McLurg, M'Lurg, M'Lorg, M'Lorc, M'Lork, M'Lurgh, M'Lurge, M'Lurgg, M'Clurg and many more.

First found in Ayrshire where they were seated from ancient times, some say before the Norman Conquest in 1066.

Unwelcome in their beloved homeland, many Scots sailed for the colonies of North America. There, they found land and freedom, and even the opportunity to make a new nation in the American War of Independence. These Scottish settlers played essential roles in the founding of the United States, and the shaping of contemporary North America. Samuel M'Clurg settled in Philadelphia in 1798; Robert M'Clurg settled in America in 1804; Jane, Jackson, Elizabeth, and Archibald M'Clurg settled in America in 1834.

Motto Translated: To the mark.
