Seeking other McGahhey's/info on two "h" spelling.

I have made some progress and am going public.
My great grandfather was Homer McKinley McGahhey born in Arkansas to Julius McGahhey and Irene Dailey in 1897. Julius McGahhey was born in 1855 either in Arkansas as his wife indicated on a census form after his death, or in NC as other censuses show. Julius may have been the son of James McGaha of NC. I'm currently stuck with the transition from McGaha to McGahhey or McGahey. Anybody know if that's possible?
Also still looking for info on the two "h" spelling. I read that McGahey comes from McGaughey which comes from Mac Eachaidh which may or may not be the same as King Alpin Mac Eachaidh or clan Gabhran. I'm a little confused...
