McAlister sounds like the typical Irish boy who listened carefully to family dinner table conversations, marked with lots of humor and maybe required civility mixed with passion when discussing "hot" topics. That was the norm in Irish home. :)
Well done Johnny boy.

McAlister (or McAllister) is more commonly thought of as Scottish, and in
Ireland are mostly found in Ulster - what we call 'Scots Irish.'

For those interested, I did a family tree for the now former mayor on Wikitree. You can view his ancestry here:

Councilman McAlister's ancestors of the same last name are indeed from Inverness, Scotland, arriving in the Virginia in the late 1600s.
