A variation of McKendry found in what is now the northeast coast of County Antrim, Northern Ireland, variously spelt as McKenry, McKenery, McHenry, McHendry, McEnry, McEndry, McEnrie etc was first used after the [[Battle of Aura]] where the forces of Sorley Boy McDonnell won a decisive victory over the McQuillans. Henry MacNaughton fought with the McDonnells and was granted land in the area in recognition of his service. His descendants termed themselves "sons of Henry (McNaughton) i.e. McHenry." The spelling variants are simply due to literacy levels of the next centuries and local pronunciation. Families could spell their name McHenry and have siblings and cousins who spelt it McEnry, McKendry etc.

The families still farm the same land in current generations.
