• Notes

  Summary of Carolyn McCune's research on Tarry McCuneA. On October 31, 1811, Charles may have arrived in the Port of Philadelphia aboard the "Harmony", a ship sailing from Londonderry, as there was a Charles McCoun who was listed as being on that ship. The Captain's name was Holkirk. The voyage took 70 days. B. In 1823-24, Charles and his family moved to Morgan County, Ohio where they may have settled near Belle Valley. They were members of St. Michael's Catholic Church built in 1841 at the site of St. Michael's Cemetery until 1900 when it was moved to Berne, Ohio about one mile away. C. From the "History of Noble County, Ohio" (L.H. Watkins and Co., 1887) 'Charles McCune and John Reed were both Irishmen and early settlers...St. Michael's Roman Catholic church was established in 1841. The building, a brick structure, was erected in that year through the efforts of Michael Archer and under the direction of Rev. Father Murphy. Michael Archer and his brothers, Simon and Nathan, with their families, constituted the original membership. Other early members were the Doyles, McCunes, Cullens, Harknesses and others. Prior to 1841 the settlement had been visited by Fathers Reed, McCallion and Finley. D. According to a deed provided by Morgan County Ohio Recorder of Deeds: James Reed sold land for $170 to Tarrance McCune on 1 April 1824, "it being one hundred acres...all that part or parcel...lying and being on west side of Duck Creek of the northeast quarter of Section 29, Township 7, Range 9" of the lands sold at Zanesville by the act of Congress. The deed was signed on 21 April 1824 by James Reed and Rachel Reed. Attest David NcGary and Peter Fogle. E. According to www.glorecords.blm.gov on internet, James Reed had been original purchaser of land in and around Belle Valley, including 80 acres in Twp 7N, Range 9W, Section 29 which is the same section where William McCune and Joseph McCune had their land when the 1876 map of Noble Township, Noble County was printed. F. According to the "Morgan Co, Ohio Common Pleas Minute Book E" Tarrance was naturalized in Morgan County, Ohio under the Act of 1828. It indicates that he was a native of Ireland and had proved that he had resided within the limits and under the jurisdiction of the United States, before the 18th day of June 1812. Note: The U.S. Congress declared war on England 19 Jun 1812G. According to the "Morgan Co, Ohio Grantee Index A-Z 1795-1855" (FHL Microfilm 0911104) in Book L, p147, Charles McCune was Grantee, John Reed was Grantor of 20 acres of land at $400, Section 29, Township 7, Range 9. H. According to the "Deed Transfers of Noble County 1800-1899" in Vol 9 p533, David Jennings was Grantee and Charles McCune was Grantor of 10 acres of land, Section 29, Township 7, Range 9. I. According to the "Deed Transfers of Noble County 1800-1899" in Vol 12 p54, Charles McCune was Grantee and Jas. Dudley was Grantor of a lease, Section 29, Township 7, Range 9. J. On June 26, 1861, Wm Barnhouse, George Barnhouse, Wm McCune, Joseph McCune, and Rosannah Barnhouse asked the probate judge to appoint John Geddes to be the administrator of the estate of Tarry McCune (Box 70, Case 701). The heirs were William McCune, Joseph McCune, and Roseanne Barnhouse. K. On June 26, 1861, Sebria McCune declined "taking out letters of administration on the estate of Tarry McCune (my deceased husband)" this was attested by Wm Barnhouse and George Barnhouse and ..... Geddis was crossed out. L. On July 6, 1861, a notice was published in the "Noble County Republican" which said: "Charles McCune's Estate Notice is hereby given that the subscriber has been appointed and qualified as Administrator on the estate of Charles McCune......Noble County, deceased. Dated at Caldwell this 29th day of June, 1861. John Gaddis, administrator. July 6, 1861" Many thanks to Carolyn McCune, cmccune@primary.net, for this wonderfully extensive research on the McCunes in America. - Daniel B Cooley [4, 9] (Research):From McCune Family in America "The name McCune is thought to be of Scottish origin. It is the Anglicized version of the Gaelic personal name of Eogann, or Eugene as we know it. Eugene is derived from the Latin name Eugenius and it was borne by a third century bishop and martyr. Variant spellings are McCowan, McCone, McGeown, McGuone, McCown and Keown. The two distinct groups in which Scottish surnames fall are those of Gaelic origin and those of English origin. The Gaelic language came to Scotland from Ireland around the fifth centruy. Surnames of Gaelic orgin came from the northern and western area of Scotland. Because of famine and discrimination, Scotsmen were forced to leave their land and spread out around the world. Consequently, many Scottish surnames exist throughout the English speaking world. The most common Gaelic origin surname is patronymic (descending from the father) and it begins with the prefix of 'Mac', meaning 'son of'. Scottish surnames that are English in origin often take the same form as its counterpart found in England. Many of the Scottish surnames found in the northeast, the central lowlands, and the border county in southern Scotland are derived from habitation names. However, it has been shown that some names that were always thought to be typically Scottish such as Lindsay or Hamilton, were actually taken from places in England, The names were brought to Scotland by the Normans during the Middle Ages." If Charles Tarrance McCune's name is Irish then it is a variant of MacKeown which is from "Eoin", Irish for "John". So, MacEoin is "Son of John". It is one of the top 50 names in East Ulster
