General Notes: Husband - [Ancestor] Moorhead


The Moorhead family is of Scotch origin, the name (Scotch or possibly Norman) signifying "head of the moor." It is traced back to the sixteenth century in Scotland.
Donald Moorhead and his wife Esther (Parkson) had William Moorhead, whose son Alexander Moorhead went to the North of Ireland. There he married Jennie Clyde, who was of Norman English extraction. They had one son, Alexander.
