The name McAloon can be traced back through early census rolls, tax records
and baptismal entries to ancient times and the area of Argyllshire in
Northern Scotland. The
McAloons were one of the three principal branches of the clan Cameron, and
in their territory of Argyll were noted as a family with manor and estates.
The difficulties related to researching McAloon heritige come from the many
variations and spellings of the name. It was not uncommon for one clansman
to pronounce his name one way and his son another.
This inevitably led to changes in how the name was written down which
included McAloney,McAloonie,McAlonie,McGillonie and McElheaney among others.
The McAloneys` of Strone were the principal branch of the clan noted for
their fierce
fighting skills and being closely allied to the early Stewart kings. The
clan has the distinction of never being defeated by Cromwells` army. Many
McAloons migrated to County Derry Ireland in the 17th and 18th centuries
where the name was corrupted to MacIlhinny and MacIldowney.
