On another tone, things can be approached from the
opposite direction too.
according to Wargs, John McCain's ancestry is as
follows:

Perhaps some of posters here could recognize some
roots, better than I.
American gateway ancestors are certainly not my
specialty, nor do I wish it to be so.
Particularly, a root or more back to Scots aristocracy
are sought after in this...

William A Reitwiesner has indicated that Anne Hampden
root (Anne Hampden must have flourished sometime in
1600s), reportedly going back to Edward I. (Edward I,
the Longshanks, was the guy who was in particularly
good relations with Robert the Bruce :) I think their
jovial relations were the reason why Eddie got called
'Hammer of the Scots'.

I tend to believe it unlikely that in particular the
Anne Hampden root would include Robert the Bruce
descent...
Particularly the chronology is not too promising,
there.
