Hi Ken,
If you look in the Dedham records you will find a number of spellings, but most some variation of Macarorey or Mackerwithey.But that is only in the United States... who knows how it was spelled in Scotland, or even if for sure, it was Scottish (although, I do believe it probably was).I find I have enough complications just coping with daily matters that I have no desire adding to them by changing my name, but if I were going to change it, I think I'd wait to be sure I had the right one!Which brings me to my favorite topic.. who, oh who,will do the Scotland research?We need someone to really dig into that (not me).I think the place to start is the military records, if they exist.
