This infornation from Harry Hoskins

The English had tried to outlaw the Scottish clan system and the use of ?mac? and tartans but many resurfaced later after the troubles were past. To claim an American land grant, Scottish immigrants had to bow to the English requirement of Anglicizing their names in order to obtain land from the English crown. In the United States, Queen is just an anglicized version of MacQueen and McQueen. •Change Date: 16 Oct 2009 at 15:14:15
