From the series: Metes & Bounds

Dugal McQueen was born about 1685 at Pollochaig near Moy, Inverness-shire, Scotland.  The son of John MacQueen of Pollochaig and the grandson of William Mackintosh, 17th chief of Clan Mackintosh and 18th chief of Clan Chattan, he fought with the Jacobites at the Battle of Preston in the Uprising of ’15. He was captured, tried, and ultimately sent to the American colonies and forced into indentured service. After his service was up, he settled in the present day Westminster, Maryland area.

This first volume in the Metes & Bounds Series, updated from the first edition published in 1997, traces the MacQueens move to Scotland, the rise of the MacQueens at Pollochaig, and Dugal’s participation in the Jacobite Rebellion. It details his life in the colonies and continues with the history of his sons,  William McQueen and Thomas McQueen, and grandchildren Elizabeth  (who married George Brown), Joshua,  Thomas, John, James and Benjamin as they fought in the American Revolution, participated in various Indian wars, and ultimately moved from Maryland to Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio, and Indiana.

As with the first edition, thie volume includes documents, maps, and personal histories on many of his descendants. Much of the history is drawn from Joshua McQueen’s interview in the Draper Papers as well as other primary resources. An updated numbering system on descendants is also included.
