And - A Good Morning To You!
No - I have no document naming a George McK as an heir!
What we do have, however, are the Newberry Co., SC., Deeds which were "Deeded to a George McKINSEY" on the 8th January 1773 and then are "Recorded" on the 16th June 1797, some 24 years later.
Under the old English "Law of Primogeniture" the eldest living son inherited all the real property of the father if the father died intestate {without a will}.
Since the Census Records of our George McKinsey "Prove Beyond A Reasonable Doubt" he was b ca 1760-1770, and could not have lawfully been the original grantor, from the grantees in 1773, one makes that notation in his Time Line, while citing the "Law of Primogeniture" as well.
Oh Me & An Oh My - when one encounters individuals who won't give their sources - the red flags start waving for sure!!! Frankly, I have never heard of a "database" that one must be a professional genealogist to access!
But - the Scots - as opposed to the Ulster Scots - were into the Carolinas early in the 18th Century including:
William McKENZIE, Jacobite soldier captured after the Siege of Preston, Lancashire. Transported from Liverpool to South Carolina on the Wakefield, master Thomas Beck, 21st April 1716. {CB} {SPC}

Yours Aye,
