Hi Trisha,
After a gap of many years I have now started working on the family tree again in collaboration with various and more knowledgeable family members scattered throughout the world! My McChlery heritage does stem from Wigtownshire, Scotland. Our records so far take us to William McChlery b.1724/Stoneykirk, Wigtown. He was married to Jane Milwain. His son John McChlery b. 1791/Inch married to Jean Wallace. Their son Thomas b. 1791 married Agnes Cavan b.1995/Kirkmaiden. It seems that established home there as all their sons were born in Kirkmaiden. Agnes's brothers James and Michael Cavan established the Cavan Company in Barbados circa 1792. Their nephews, Michael, David and Henry joined them in Barbados around the 1830s, with Michael eventually becoming executor for the Cavan estate. It seems that the present Barbados McChlery are the direct descendants of Henry McChlery. We are not sure who Henry married except possibly a Frances Edey. Sure enough, would be glad to collaborate with you.
