Historical References
"MACTHOMAS. Gaelic Mac Tomais, 'son of Thomas.' The branch of the Clan Mackintosh which came afterwards to be known by the surname Macthomas was descended from Adam M"William of Garvamore, in Badenoch, a natural son of William, the seventh chief of the clan Mackintosh. The descendants of this Adam settled in Glenshee, Strathardle, and Glenisla. They appear in the roll of clans of 1587 as "clan mc thomas in Glensche;" and in the roll of broken clans of 1594 they are included in the class of "mony brokin men" (APS., m, p. 467; rv, p. 71). Andrew McThomas was parishioner of Duthil in 1537 (Grant, m, p. 269). Aye M'Ane MThomas is one of the signers in the Clan Chattan band of 1543 (SCM., rv, p. 260). William MacThomas in Murthlac, 1550 (Illus., n, p. 261), Alexander McThomas alias Thomsoune was burgess of Tayne in 1590 (Trials, I, p. 204), and William McThomas in Tulliche was fined for resetting Clan Gregor, 1613 (RPC., xrv, p. 629). John McThomas in Erchles, a Chisholm tenant in 1721, appears in the same record as John McComas (HP., n, p. 296, 297), and Donald McThomas in Inverchanich in 1721 appears again in the same record as Donald McComa (ibid., p. 298). The aspirated form, Mac TMmais, gives Macomish. Mac Homas 1718 (in Lewis). "(The surnames of Scotland. George Fraser Black, 1866-1948)
