The McAllisters
"Family tradition says that four McAllister brothers sailed from Scotland for America about the end of the 18th century. The ship was blown completely off course by a storm which took it to Gibraltar, where one boy died from a fever.The earliest name found thus far is that of Barnabas, who married Elizabeth, and lived in Alabama. Barnabas died in 1838 in Greene County, Alabama. They had six sons: Ulysses, Barnabas, James, Robert, Hugh, John; and four daughters, Ann, Margaret, Elmira, Nancy."
