Franklin MacVeagh, U.S. Secretary of Treasury from 1909 to 1913 appointed by President Taft, was named at birth Benjamin 'Franklin' McVeagh to Major McVeagh and Margaret Lincoln McVeagh. "Major" was Franklin's father's given name, presumably attributed to his Mother's maiden name, Rebecca Major. John McVeagh was Major McVeagh's younger brother, born 1798 in Charlestown, Chester County, PA and died 1850 in Philadelphia County, PA and is buried with his wife, Eliza Coffman McVeagh, in the Morris Cementery, Phoenixville, Chester County, PA. The sons and daughters of Major McVeagh adapted the MacVeagh spelling of their last name while his younger brother, John McVeagh's family, maintained the McVeagh spelling as their father's records indicate, those of Nathan Evans McVeagh.
Franklin MacVeagh's mother, Margaret Lincoln, was second cousin, once removed of Abraham Lincoln, and the families was close friends. Surviving Lincoln son, Robert Todd, was lifelong friend of Franklin MacVeagh including living near each other on N. Lake Shore Drive, Chicago, IL. Robert Todd Lincoln was an honorary pallbearer at the funeral of banker Henry Frederick Eames, father of Franklin's wife, Emily Eames MacVeagh in 1897.
