The McCorkle Family

 
 

 

 

Official Scottish Tartan for the McCorkle/MacCorquodale 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 Prince Charles Edward, the Pretender, who tried to seize the Scottish throne.  Samuel Matthew McCorkle moved his family to Ulster (Protestant Northern Ireland).  There his son Matthew married Jean Givens.

 
The largest number of McCorkles reside in North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee and Ohio.
 

The Loftin family connects to the McCorkle line when Thomas Loftin married Sally Lavinia Beatty, the daughter of William Able Beatty and Isabella McCorkle.

McCORKLE DNA

 
In an email correspondence with David McCorkle from Cary, NC, David shared the following information:

 

  From what I can tell so far, there were 5 McCorkle “clusters” in what was then Mecklenburg County, listed by the “founding” member: John McCorkle, James McCorkle and Robert McCorkle in the Waxhaw area (now Union Co.), your guy Matthew McCorkle in what is now Lincoln/Catawba Co., and Stephen McCorkle in the Rock Hill SC area.   There is also the Alexander McCorkle branch in Salisbury, but that’s far enough away that there really aren’t any conflicts. 

So far I have found no evidence as to how these McCorkles are related, but one has to think they are.  It does appears that all came through Pennsylvania before settling in NC., and all are of “Scotch-Irish” origins.  Rev. Louis McCorkle in his “Viking Glory” book speculates that Robert (his line) and James were brothers, but he really doesn’t cover John, Matthew and Stephen.
 
 

David manages the McCorkle Y-DNA project with Family Tree DNA (the nations # 1 DNA company).  If you carry the McCorkle name, are married to a McCorkle, or have a brother/father/uncle who is a McCorkle and would like to participate in the DNA project, contact David at genquery@dmmemail.com
