At a time when your surname may have meant your head on a pike or not, survival may have motivated a change of name, perhaps from McManus to Stagpoole. This theory has been suggested previously but I thought it worth mentioning once more.
Accordingly, in relation to my more personal matches, Wayne and Kevin, I just wanted to mention to them that the way I calculate our Most Recent Common Ancestor puts him in the mid 1600s - and by reasonable logic in the parish of Kilronan.
On another tack, there are so many James McManuses in our line.
In respect of loyalty, perhaps James Stuart had some bearing on this too.
