I have a great-grandfather George MacGowan b. 1854 d. 1901 who lived in Brooklyn.Father was Edward or Edwin who emigrated from England (Scottish origin), probably born around 1820.I don't have my notes handy but I think George had brothers and sisters.George spelled the name Mac, but I've heard it was pretty arbitrary.
