I have a concern with the "Origin of Name" section. It states: "As Parson is not a person's name, the clan is usually spelled with a lower case 'p'."

The Word "usually" is my concern. I have seen it spelled this way, but the vast bulk of spellings I have seen have a capital "P". Unless there is a source for this "usual" spelling, I suggest changing it to "sometimes".

>> I agree with this, I am a MacPherson, and I have met many MacPhersons that I am not directly related to that use the capital "P" when spelling their name rather than the lowercase "p". I thing it is inaccurate and very presumptuous to state that it is 'usually' spelled with the lowercase "p" since it would be extremely difficult to quantify this. Please consider revising. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.147.195.158 (talk) 22:03, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
