== Early modern McDucks ==
=== Malcolm "Matey" McDuck ===
'''Malcolm "Matey" McDuck''' (1530-1564?) was a McDuck relative who settled in [[England]] and is suggested to be a previous incarnation of Scrooge McDuck. Malcolm served in the [[Royal Navy|English Navy]], and in 1563 he became first mate of the frigate HMS ''Falcon Rover'', serving under Captain Loyal Hawk. The ''Falcon Rover'' raided Spanish targets in the [[Caribbean Sea]] between 1563 and 1564. Also serving on the ''Falcon Rover'' was the boatswain, [[Duck family (Disney)#Pintail Duck|Pintail Duck]], whose descendant, [[Duck family (Disney)#Quackmore Duck|Quackmore Duck]], would marry Malcolm's descendant, [[Clan McDuck#Hortense McDuck|Hortense McDuck]]. The two were the parents of twins [[Donald Duck|Donald]] and [[Della Duck]].

Malcolm is said to have lost his life on 9 December 1564 when the Spanish fleet sank HMS ''Falcon Rover''. However, in 1579, Malcolm was also said to have commanded the newly founded Fort Drakeborough, an establishment that in 1818 was taken over by [[Duck family (Disney)#Cornelius Coot|Cornelius Coot]] and renamed Fort Duckburg.<ref name="longago">[[Carl Barks]]: "Back to Long Ago!".

He is mentioned on Webby Vanderquack's family chart in the [[DuckTales (2017 TV series)|2017 ''DuckTales'' series]].

=== Locksley McDuck ===
'''Locksley McDuck''' was an 18th-century McDuck relative. Sometime after 1707, he became an associate of Scottish outlaw [[Rob Roy MacGregor]] who is characterized as a [[Gentleman thief|noble thief]] who would "rob from the rich to give to the poor". Locksley's alliance with MacGregor would come to an end after Locksley was unable to "give to the poor" after having robbed the rich. He is mentioned in ''The History of The Clan McDuck'' by Don Rosa. His name is derived from the English village of [[Loxley, South Yorkshire|Loxley]], the traditional birthplace of [[Robin Hood]].

=== Hugh "Seafoam" McDuck ===
'''Captain Hugh "Seafoam" McDuck''' (1710-1776) was a McDuck relative who settled in [[Glasgow]] in 1727, as the clan had been driven from their ancestral home of Dismal Downs in 1675. Hugh turned to the sea for a living and became a successful merchant. He obtained his own ship, the ''Golden Goose'', and became known by the nickname "Seafoam".

In 1753, Seafoam McDuck signed a contract with [[List of Donald Duck universe characters#Chisel McSue|Swindle McSue]] to deliver a cargo of [[horseradish]] to [[Jamaica]]. But McSue sabotaged the ''Golden Goose'' and the ship sank before reaching Jamaica. Upon returning to Scotland, Seafoam McDuck learned that his contract with McSue contained fine print stating that if the shipment was not completed, McDuck would forfeit all his possessions to McSue. Seafoam escaped with nothing but the clothes on his back, a silver pocket watch, and the golden dentures in his mouth.<ref name="horseradish">[[Carl Barks]]: Untitled Uncle Scrooge story, later known as "The Horseradish Story". First published 1953 ([http://coa.inducks.org/story.php?c=W+OS++495-02 I.N.D.U.C.K.S. entry]).</ref> It is later presumed that Seafoam was involved in the [[American Revolutionary War]] and died in 1776. His descendant Quagmire McDuck inherited the silver pocket watch. Seafoam McDuck first appears in ''The Horseradish Story'' (1953) by Carl Barks. According to Don Rosa, he is Scrooge's great-great-great-grandfather. 

His ghost makes a cameo appearance in the [[DuckTales (2017 TV series)|2017 ''DuckTales'' series]] episode, "The Secret(s) of Castle McDuck".

=== Potcrack McDuck ===
'''Potcrack McDuck''' was a member of Clan McDuck, who invented steam-powered bagpipes in 1767, his invention later inspired [[James Watt]] to create the steam engine.

===Silas McDuck ===
'''Silas McDuck''' was a member of Clan McDuck and Scrooge's
great-great-grandfather. He was very wealthy and built Castle McDuck for his large family to live in. Despite the ground being cursed by druids, Silas finished the constructions and the McDucks moved in, only to be scared away by the frightening Hound of Castle McDuck. Spending what little he had left from erecting the castle, Silas built Cottage McDuck, where the family lived in poverty until Scrooge left for America.
