The Gunns; History, Myths and Genealogy
Here is a radical, academically based text which demolishes the myths currently masquerading as Gunn 'history'. Gunns are best thought of as the original, non-related inhabitants of northern, mainland Scotland. They do not have an Orkney Islands origin. Gunns should not be viewed as a clan as they had no founding ancestor. There was never an historic 'Clan Gunn Chief'. The first Gunn known to history was Coroner Gunn of Caithness who died around 1450. His eldest son started the MacHamish Gunns of Killernan line - many descendants from that line exist all around the world. Major detail on this MacHamish line is included. This book is an important addition to Scottish Highland history.
The Descendants of George Gunn (b. 1750-1760) and Margaret Morrison(b. 1760 Scotland)
Chiefly, a record of descendants of George Gunn and his wife Margaret Elizabeth Morrison. George was born about 1750-1760. Margaret was born in Scotland in 1760. They were married in 1788 and lived in Richmond County, North Carolina in the 1790's. They had seven children. The death date of George is not known, but Margaret died in 1856 in Clarke County, Mississippi. Descendants lived in North Carolina, Mississippi, Arkansas, Texas, Alabama, Louisiana and elsewhere. Descendants lived in North Carolina, Mississippi, Arkansas, Texas, Alabama, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Colorado and elsewhere.
The Great Edge
THE GREAT EDGE brings together lives - ancient and modern - on the northern plateau where Scotland stops and starts, where history and myth fuel everyday reality, and where nothing is as it seems. When an archaeologist comes to Caithness to research an early Christian chapel, she must reckon with a crisis that is global and contemporary as well as local and ancient. Adopted by Fracher, a retired roughneck and local fisherman, Mags is spun into a galaxy of characters and events that force her to a profound understanding of the relationship between Past, Present and Future. Meanwhile, in 21st-century Atomic City, the decommissioning of a national nuclear icon brings several dreams to an end. THE GREAT EDGE is a story of science, engineering and geology; of Picts and Irish monks, Norse mythology, and Celtic civilisation. Through the eyes of a Norse skald, we begin to see there is little in the 21st century that hasn't been experienced before. As we witness global warming and Arctic ice-melt, are we all waiting for the wave? In THE GREAT EDGE the wave duly arrives.
