Your man McAmis in County Down matches up with the 10 marker values of the Oxford Genetic Atlas Project's OGAP19. This OGAP19 is common to Ireland and the Highlands of Scotland. Most of the men from the Irish Heritage DNA Project who test OGAP19 are from Ulster. Then again there's me, Miles Kehoe whose father was from Leinster(Wexford). Kehoe is a common Leinster name.
The other names from IHDP that come up OGAP19 are:
Kindelan,Ryan,Curley,Beard,Hannaway,Vaughan,O'Rourke,Milliken,Cunniff and O'Dea. All of these are Anglisized versions of native Gaelic names, including Kehoe(MacEochaidh) and McAmis.
