McAnally is a name that is found in the North of Ireland, and also, although rarer, in Scotland. Variations of the name in Scotland are said to be McInally, McAnnally, as well as McAnally. Other spellings of the name McAnally are found in America and are more a product of frontier education than Gaelic to English translations.
The origin of the McAnallys in this country who can trace their lineage to pre-eighteen century America is still shrouded in the fog of family legend. At least two legends have been located: one that a boy was kidnapped near the mouth of the Forth, in Scotland, brought to America and turned loose to shift for himself on the American coast; another that a young man was a stow away on board a ship headed for America.
In the two hundred and eighty years (over three hundred now) since the McAnally family arrived in America, they have been an integral part of its saga. They walked the streets of Philadelphia with Benjamin Franklin, defended Colonial Virginia's western border with young George Washington, fought for their country's freedom in the American Revolution, and were neighbors to David Crocket on the Tennessee frontier. Their blood was spilled in the conflicts that ranged over our country's history, and there are still McAnallys found fighting for the cause of freedom in America today.
Their story is not one of a prominent, well known family. It is instead the story of a quiet people who contributed their determination, skill, muscle, and blood to the making of America. If the McAnally family has a trait, that trait would be a love of personal freedom and privacy. This often led to pursuit of the western frontier or settlement in the remote crannies of civilization.

Notes for Mary Elizabeth Gibson:
Because of health conditions, the Gibson family came to Violet Hill, Arkansas (near Batesville). Mary Elizabeth, the oldest Gibson child married William Lee McAnally in Franklin, Arkansas on 26 Dec. 1885. They had seven (8) children. In 1900 The Bill McAnally family, the Bill Gibson family and Swank family started for the Indian Territory. There were 7 covered wagons in the train. After 20 days dangerous travel they reached the new town of Ada and found a long log cabin on Goose Hill (Norris place). They leased this cabin from the Perry family. For some two years the McAnally's lived on the Perry farm, then he found and moved into a larger house at Hird, I.T. 1905 was a year long to be remembered. Bill McAnally bought a Home Comfort Range (cook stove) and a "drop head" sewing machine. The sewing machine was used to make the wedding clothes for their oldest daughter, Inez, who married Harvey Luther when she was 16 years old. Bill McAnally bought a city block (after most of Hird had moved to Ada when the railroad came through) and we moved into a larger house in 1908. We went to school at Colbert and one year we had a "winning" debate team. Report by Ethel M. McAnally Scott
