The McCorkle Family   Name Origin: Scotland The root of the ancient Scottish name McCorkle is the Gaelic word Mac-Thorcall which was created from the Old Norse personal name Thorketill, meaning "Son of Thorkel."  Thor was the Norse God of Thunder. Samuel Matthew McCorkle  and his family were living in Scotland during the troubled times of Bonnie Prince Charles Edward, the Pretender, who tried to seize the Scottish throne.  Samuel Matthew moved his family to Ulster (Protestant Northern Ireland).  There his son Matthew married Jean Givens. Motto Translated: "Long live the King"     The Loftin family connects to the McCorkle line when Thomas Loftin married Sally Lavinia Beatty, the daughter of William Able Beatty and Isabella McCorkle.                                         1 Samuel Matthew McCorkle, b.
