Several web pages on this family all seem to derive from the same original gedcom. Although the page we present here incorporates some details from one version of that file, for the Forsyth County family we have worked primarily from census, cemetery, and other public records.

Note that the family appears to hop around among several different counties in NC. They probably aren't quite as mobile as they would appear, but are simply living in the relatively small region where Forsyth, Randolph, Guilford and Davidson adjoin one another. Remember also that what is now Davidson county was part of Rowan prior to 1822, and Forsyth was formed from Stokes in 1849.

Alternative spellings found in early records, and in some present-day branches of the family, include McKoin and McCoin.

Hugh McKaughan and Phebe Pope are believed to be the parents of the following:

George P. McKaughan (1805-1871) m. Elizabeth Newsome (1807-1886) in 1830, Randolph Co. NC
*Jane McKaughan (ca. 1807-?) m. John Weisner
Archibald McKaughan (1808-1879) m. Mary Welch (1810-1874) in 1835, Stokes Co. NC
William McKaughan (McCoin) (1813-1895) m. 1) Elizabeth Piggott (1814-1869), moved to Kansas; m. 2) Sallie Fowler
Forrester McKaughan (McCoin) (1815-1883) m. 1) Sallie Parrish (1818-1860), 2) Rebecca Perkins (1815-1883); lived Guilford Co. NC
Jesse Alfred McKaughan (1815-1860) m. Esther Idol (1817-1876); lived Davidson Co. NC

*Some sites say Jane m. 2) John H. Dillon. That marriage bond (Forsyth Co. 1864) is for Jane McKaughan, not Jane Weisner, and belongs to Phebe Jane McKaughan, daughter of Archibald and Mary.
