Don't recall ever seeing the C replaced with an apostrophe.  I just googled M'Cracken and now have a ton of references to follow up for my grandma Sarah.   Sheesh just when I thought I knew everything.

 

MR. GREG M'LEOD, to MISS MARY NESBET, all of this town;

 

 

[Charles Hunt]

The apostrophe is actually a very small (super-script) "c".

[Barb Baker]

Thank you Charles.  In my transcribing, I have seen this apparent "apostrophe" many many times , but had never known that it was  a very small "c".

 

Everything on this list is always SO interesting !!

 

Thanks for your imput.

Thank you Charles, learn something new every day!

 

Nobody told that to the Google pigeons. They just keep pecking away.

The word Halloween is first attested in the 16th century and represents a
Scottish variant of the fuller All-Hallows-Even ("evening"), that is, the
night before All Hallows Day. Up through the early 20th century, the
spelling "Hallowe'en" was frequently used, eliding the "v" and shortening
the word. Although the phrase All Hallows is found in Old English (ealra
halgena m�ssed�g, mass-day of all saints), All-Hallows-Even is itself not
attested until 1556. (according to Wiki)

They used turnips in England rather than pumpkins. Do y'all still do that?

[ROLAND EDGAR]

No turnips these days Sarah. It's all pumpkins and "Trick or "treet" Something brought over from one of our smaller colonies I understand !!!!

What hapened to snatch apple and dunking? Or was that just a Cumberland thing?
