''Book Reviews: Forty sound reasons why John Prescott …'', by Donald Lines Jacobus. Jacobus called out Weis for drawing firm conclusions from possibilities and suppositions. He did not deny that Weis could be right regarding the parentage of John Prescott, just that it remained unproven and should not be stated so categorically as fact. :The noted genealogist John G. Hunt also evaluated the problem and also rejected the conclusions of Weis in a NEHGR article in 1959. He pointed out that the only certain English home of John Prescott was in Halifax, Yorkshire. And that there were many Prescott families in Yorkshire and Lancashire, with a number of possible John Prescotts who could be the immigrant.NEHGR vol. 133 (1959): [http://tinyurl.com/yb6vcuzf pages 70-71].

Beginning with the 4th edition, the line is marked unproven. Here the debate sat with Weis firmly stating the descent is “conclusively proven” and Jacobus saying “it remains unproven.” Though Jacobus did not deny the possibility, he did find it unlikely. :However it should be noted, the editors of later editions of AR and MCS (Walter Lee Shepard, William R. Beall and David Faris) broke the line with: ''The Magna Carta Sureties 1215'', 4th edition (1991): page130. – “There is insufficient evidence to identify John Prescott of Lancaster, Mass. with John, son of Ralph Prescott of Shevington. Research is continuing.” And in ''Ancestral Roots'', seventh edition (1992): page 39. – “The identification of John Prescott of Lancaster, Mass. with the son John, of Ralph of Shevington is still challenged. See TAG 34:180 and elsewhere. While evidence is not conclusive, the alternatives are not either. This line requires further work.” :The matter was finally settled by Adell T. Prescott who led an exhaustive investigation into the Lancashire and Yorkshire Prescotts. John Prescott of Lancaster, Mass. is definitively proven to not be the son of Ralph Prescott of Shevington.

Prescott is very good and examined the wills of the Prescotts and many related families, land records, law suits, marriage settlements and parish records to show that John, son of Ralph Prescott, never left his home of Longryding in Shevington. It is perhaps unfortunate that this excellent research was not published in a more widely available source.Prescotts Unlimited Quarterly Newsletter, vol.

He is named in his father's will. He married, Jan. 21,1629, Mary Platts, at Wygan in Lancashire. Her family appears to have been subsequently of the parish of Halifax in Yorkshire, some of whom are mentioned in the will of George Fairbanks of Sowerby. dated in 1650. Mr. P. sold his lands in Shevington, parish of Standish, in Lancashire, to Richard Prescott of Wigan, and removed into Yorkshire, residing for some time in Sowerby, in the parish of Halifax, where several of his children were born. From conscientious motives, and to avoid persecution, he left his native land, his cherished home in Yorkshire, to seek an asylum in the wilderness of America. He first landed at Barbadoes in 1638, where he became an owner of lands. In 1640 he came to New England, landed at Boston, and immediately settled in Watertown, where he had large grants of lands allotted him. But in 1643 he associated himself with Thomas King and others, for the purpose of purchasing of Sholan, the Indian Sachem of the Nashaway tribe of Indians, a tract of land for a township, which tract was to be ten miles in length and eight in breadth. A Brief History of the Negotiation and Purchase from Sholan, Chief of the Nashaway tribe of Indians, of the territory of which the town of Lancaster, Mass., was afterward composed ; together with its subsequent settlement, and its suffering and final destruction by fire by the Indians. " Early in the seventeenth century, some eight years before the settlement of Plymouth, many of the tribes of Massachusetts Indians had been swept over by a dreadful pestilence, reducing their numbers from many thousands to a few hundreds. In this severe affliction the Nashaway tribe suffered, though not equally with the others. The Nashaways had also been greatly reduced by the wars and incursions of the Maquas or Mohawks, a powerful and warlike tribe on the Mohawk River, N. Y. This tribe had become the scourge and terror of all the New England Indians. These circumstances induced the peaceful Sholan, the Sachem of the Nashaways, to seek the friendship and protection of the English. Sholan occasionally visited Watertowu for the purpose of trading with Mr. Thomas King, who resided there. He recommended Nashawogg as a place well suited for a plantation. He told King of the choice intervales, the woods and waters abounding in supplies, — that the Great Spirit had been very bountiful to the place, and that his people would rejoice in the presence of that great people who had come from a distant world.' "* Finally King decides to visit the place, perilous though the undertaking might seem. He accordingly takes the journey through the wilderness, and becomes enamoured with the place and returns to Watertown. He makes such favorable report of the adaptation of the territory to agricultural and mechanical purposes, &c., that in 1643 he enters into an association and agreement with John Prescott of Watertown, Harmon Garrett of Charlestown, Thomas Skidmore of Cambridge, Stephen Day of Cambridge (the earliest printer in any of the colonies), a Mr. Simonds, and sundry others whose names have not been transmitted, for the purpose of purchasing the tract (ten miles by eight, as above stated). According to Mr. Willard, in his elaborate address at the two-hundredth anniversary of the incorporation of Lancaster, the above purchase was made, and the territory of Nashaway first "opened upon the view of the white man while the good Sholan or Shaumaun exercised a peaceful rule in this, his little empire, over the tribe of the Nashaways. His principal place of residence was on a gentle eminence, between the two lakes of the Washacum in Chocksett (a corruption or contraction of Woonksechmicksett or Woonhsechauxett), now Sterling." The purchasers entered into an agreement to appear and begin the plantation at a specified time. The deed of Sholan was sanctioned by the General Court, but there were many circumstances which combined to retard the growth of the plantation, all the associates except Mr. Prescott refusing or neglecting to fulfil their contracts, though choosing to retain their interest in the property purchased. It is stated by Mr. Willard that "one only of the associates, John Prescott the stalwart blacksmith, was ' faithful among the faithless.' He turned not back, but vigorously pursued the interests of the plantation till his exertions were crowned with success." Mr. Prescott having chosen this for his future home, he with others petitioned for a bridge over Sudbury River. But the subject being delayed by the General Court, Mr. Prescott, nothing daunted, attempts the perilous adventure of swimming his horse across Sudbury River in the autumn of 1646, but unfortunately he lost his horse and lading in the river, escaping with his own life only. About one week later, his wife and children being upon another horse, attempted to pass the river and came near being drowned. Upon this narrow escape Mr. Willard utters the following significant reflection : " One plunge more by that last horse, or a little deeper water, and American literature would not now be graced by the brilliant classic history of Ferdinand and Isabella, of the Conquest of Mexico, and the Conquest of Peru." To which may since be added. The Life of Charles the Fifth. The settlement at Nashaway was treated by the General Court with indifference and culpable neglect. They had repeatedly been denied those little helps and aids which are so essential to all new settlements. The inhabitants petitioned for an act of incorporation, and asked that it be known by the name of Prescott. The General Court objects, quibbles about a name, pretending that " it smacked too much of mannership or man-service." The question was finally settled by a compromise, and it was on the 18th day of May, old style (28th of May, new style), 1653, incorporated into a township by the name of Lancaster. This was in honor of Mr. Prescott, it being the name of his native county in England. Mr. Prescott has the reputation of being the first settler in Nashaway, now Lancaster, although Mr. Willard remarks that Richard Linton, Lawrence Waters, his son-in-law, and John Ball, were the first inhabitants, and that they had tilled the soil and were ready to receive Mr. Prescott on his arrival. I do not see this stated by any other writer, and if correct they might be hired and sent there by Mr. Prescott and others to prepare for their own accommodation when they should remove there. The phrase that " they had tilled the soil and were ready to receive Mr. Prescott on his arrival " is significant of this fact. At the time of the incorporation there were but nine families in the town. In one year, that is, by the spring of 1654, there were twenty families there. In answer to a petition of the inhabitants of the plantation, John Prescott, Thomas Sawyer (who married Mary, the eldest daughter of Mr. Prescott), Edward Breck, Nathaniel Hadlock, William Keiley and Ralph Houghton were appointed prudential managers of the town by the General Court. Mr. Prescott was a genuine and influential member of the original Puritan stock of New England. Like most of the early emigrants to New England, he left his native home to escape the relentless persecutions with which the Puritans and non-conformists were harrassed. Like many of his contemporaries, he was a man of marked character, devoting his time to mechanical and agricultural pursuits, which were well calculated to fit and prepare him for the trials and hardships incident to, and inseparable from, the early settlers and pioneers of the wilderness of America. He soon became distinguished among his compeers, and had not long to wait for an opportunity to develop his genius and bravery. At a very early day he became a leading spirit, and a prominent and influential man, as very many of his descendants have been in each and every subsequent generation, and to him more than to any other is to be attributed the successful issue of that laborious and hazardous enterprise of settling on the " Nashaway " and of subduing the wilderness and converting the soil into fruitful fields and productive meadows. Mr. Prescott was a man of strict integrity and of great energy and perseverance. Having also a commanding influence, he took an active part in all measures calculated to improve and enhance the interest and prosperity of the town. He took the oath of fidelity in 1652, and was admitted a freeman in 1669. By occupation, he was not only an agriculturist, but both a blacksmith and millwright. In Nov., 1653, he received a grant of land of the inhabitants, on condition that he would build a ''corn mill." He built the mill in season to commence grinding on the 23d of the next May (1654). The erection of a saw mill soon followed. " The town voted that if he would erect one he should have the grant of certain privileges and a large tract of land lying near his mill, for him and his posterity forever, and to be more exactly record d when exactly known. In consideration of these provisions ' Goodman Prescott,' forthwith erected his mill." * " Its location was on the spot where the Lancaster Manufacturing Company have extensive works. The people from all the neighboring towns came to Prescott's gristmill. The stone of this mill was brought from England, and now lies in fragments in the vicinity of the factory."* Lancaster, in common with other frontier towns, suffered greatly by Indian depredations whenever there was a war between the mother country and France. On the 22d of Aug., 1675, eighty persons were killed at Lancaster. On the 10th of Feb., old style, 1676. early in the morning, a body of fifteen hundred Indians attacked the town in five distinct situations, completely investing it. There were at that time more than fifty families in town. Of this little band, fifty persons, if not more, were either killed or taken prisoners. One half at least were killed, and among them Richard Wheeler and Jonas Fairbanks, sons-in-law of Mr. Prescott, and Joshua Fairbanks and Ephraim Sawyer, his grandsons. The three former were killed at Wheeler's garrison, and the latter at Prescott's, which stood about thirty rods southeast of Messrs. Poignard and Plant's factory. The inhabitants, after destroying all the houses but two, left the place under the protection of Capt. Wadworth's company of soldiers. The alarm of the people was so great that the return of peace on the death of the Indian, King Philip, in August, 1676, did not restore their courage and confidence. For more than three years, Lancaster remained uninhabited. In 1679 some of the first planters (among whom were the Prescotts, Houghtons, Sawyers, and Wilders) returned, and the Carters came in soon after. Mr. Prescott lived to see the town rebuilt and in a fair way to a prosperous condition. He died in 1683. But subsequently to this the town suffered severely at sundry times from the incursion of hostile Indians. In 1702 the war between England and France was renewed, and 1704 was a period of great distress and suffering from Indian depredations. They made an attack on Lancaster in July of that year, and, after defeating the soldiers and driving them into their garrisons, they burned the church and six houses, and destroyed much live stock and other property. In 1705 Thomas Sawyer, Jr., and his son Elias,grandson and great grandson of John Prescott, senior, together with John Biglo (now written Bigelow), were taken prisoners and carried to Canada. Thomas Sawyer, on arrival of the party at Montreal, offered to build a saw mill on the Chamblee river, provided the French governor would obtain a release of all the captives. This he promised, if possible, to do. The son Elias and Biglo were easily ransomed, but the Indians determined to put the father to death by a lingering torture. His deliverance was finally effected by the timely appearance of a friar, who told the Indians that he held the keys of Purgatory in his hand, and that unless they immediately released their prisoner he would unlock the gates and cast them in headlong. Their superstitious fears prevailed. They unbound Sawyer from the stake and delivered him to the governor. Sawyer finished the mill in a year and was sent home. Whitney says this was the first saw mill erected in Canada. John Prescott and family being so conspicuously identified with these Indian depredations upon Lancaster, is our only apology for these lengthened remarks concerning them in this connection. Mr. Prescott had in his possession, and which he brought with him from England, a coat of mail, armor and habiliments complete, such as were worn by warriors of that and preceding ages ; hence it is inferred that some of his ancestors had been warriors, and probably, had received the order of knighthood. It has been stated and believed that John had himself served under Cromwell. Of this armor and its owner the following anecdotes are related: " Mr. Prescott, being a strong athletic man and of a stern countenance, whenever he had any difficulty with the Indians, would clothe himself with his coat of mail, helmet, cutlass and gorget, which gave him a fierce and frightful appearance. The Indians at one time having stolen from him a horse, he put on his armor and pursued them, and in a short time overtook them. They were surprised that lie should venture to pursue them alone, and a chief approached him with uplifted tomahawk. Mr. Prescott told him to strike, which he did, and finding the blow made no impression on his cap, was greatly astonished, and asked Mr. P. to let him put on, and then strike it while on his head, as he had done when on Mr. Prescott's head. The helmet being too small for the head of the chief, the stroke settled the helmet down to his ears, scraping off the skin on both sides of his head. They then gave him up his horse, supposing him to be something more than human." " At another time the Indians set fire to his barn. Old John put on his armor, rushed out, drove them off and let out his cattle and horses from the burning stable." " Again the Indians set fire to his saw mill. 'The old hero, armed cap-a-pie, as before, drove them off and extinguished the fire. At another time they attacked his house. He had several muskets but no one in the house, save his wife, to assist him. She loaded the guns and he discharged them with fatal effect. The contest continued for nearly half an hour, Mr. Prescott all the while giving orders as if to soldiers, so loud that the Indians could hear him, to load their muskets, though he had no soldiers but his wife. At length they withdrew carrying off several of their dead or wounded."* On another occasion, as is related of him, sundry Indians made their appearance at his old mill, and hoisted the water gate, when he, Prescott, took his favorite gun, which he brought with him from England, heavily loaded, and started toward the mill, when the Indians retired to the hills near by. Having shut down the gate and fixed the mill, Mr, Prescott concluded it prudent to retire to his house or garrison, but did so backward, with his eye upon the foe until he reached his home, when the Indians gave a whoop, such as none but Indians can give ; when Mr. Prescott concluded to give them a specimen of his sharp-shooting, upon which (to use a new coined term) they skedadled. Upon afterward visiting the place, blood was plainly seen upon the ground. "The old favorite Gun," above alluded to, was given by Mr. Prescott, to his oldest son, John Prescott, Jr., who in his turn gave it to his oldest son, John 3d, who gave it to his daughter Tabitha, who married first Aaron Sawyer and for a second husband Silas Brigham. She in her old age gave it to her grandson, Prescott Brigham (274-4), Brig. Gen., who was born in 1770, settled in Shrewsbury, and in 1738 removed to Sauk County, Wis., where he died. Before his death he gave the "gun" to the Wisconsin Historical Society, whose property it now is, and where it will be carefully preserved unless consumed by fire. ===Bent (1903)=== From “Who Begot Thee? Some Genealogical and Historical Notes Made in an effort to trace the American progenitors of one individual living in America in 1903” By Gilbert O. Bent, 1903, [https://www.google.com/books/edition/Who_Begot_Thee/e4MxAAAAMAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&pg=PA36&printsec=frontcover&dq=Prescott 36]--37. John Prescott, the emigrant, who was born at Standish in 1605. He married Jan. 21, 1629, at Wygan, in Lancaslnre, Mary Platts, "a Yorkshire girl," and removed to Sowerby in Yorkshire, where he lived for some seven years. In 1638 he emigrated to Barbados, W. I., where he became a landowner. There does not appear to be any evidence that religious matters had anything to do with his emigration. In 1640 he migrated from the island of Barbados to the Massachusetts Bay colony in North America. He landed at Boston, and took up his residence at Watertown, which was a sort of "clearing-house" for early emigrants. He had grants of land at Watertown. In 1643 he associated himself with Thomas King and others in the purchase from Sholan, the Indian Sachem of the Nashaway tribe, of a large tract of land, where he became one of the pioneer settlers. He was probably settled on these lands by June, 1645. In 1652 this settlement at Nashaway, of which for forty years John Prescott was the leading spirit, was incorporated and, " at the request of the inhabitants," was given the name of " Prescott " by the House of Deputies. Some of the Puritan Deputies discovered, however, after this graceful act had been performed, that, from their point of view, John Prescott was not all that he ought to be. He had maintained his liberty of conscience, which was something that they could not tolerate — especially under the sway of a John Endecott. The awful fact transpired that John Prescott had " never given public adhesion to the established church covenant ;" in short, he was not a " freeman," and, therefore, not eligible for any kind of an office, and not even a voter, so to name a whole township, and especially one where there was a good deal of "heresy," after such a man, could not be thought of. In 1653 the name of the town was changed by the House of Deputies to West Town, and, finally, as a sort of compromise, to Lancaster. Thus this town bears, at the present day, instead of one of the greatest of American family names, the name of the native county in England of the founder of that family. John Prescott is surely deserving of high honor, if for no other reason, for the stand which he took in favor of intellectual and religious liberty. He was a supporter of Dr. Robert Child, who truthfully set forth in his petition to the Massachusetts government, in 1646, that there were " many thousands in these plantations" who were most unjustly detained from voting and from all part in the government because " they will not take these church covenants." Gov. John Winthrop, in his history of New England (II. 306), relates, with pious superstition, the ills which "a special providence of God" brought upon those who favored Child's petition. He tells how the pioneer Prescott " lost a horse and his lading in Sudbury river, and a week after, his wife and children, being upon another horse, were hardly saved from drowning." All this befell Prescott on account of his refusal to promptly bend the knee to the Puritan theocracy ! Governor Winthrop failed to note the wonderful interposition of providence which saved Prescott's wife and children from a watery grave, which he would have been quick to do had it suited his purpose. John Prescott finally found it advisable to become a " freeman " in 1669, when he was about sixty-four years of age, and after the religious restrictions had been altered by instructions from the government of Charles II. In 1654 John Prescott built the first grist-mill in Lancaster, and also, later, a saw-mill. In 1667, by contract with Capt. James Parker and others, a committee of citizens of Groton, he built a grist-mill in Groton, to which a saw-mill was afterwards added, receiving, in consideration, 520 acres of land in Groton and various privileges. He and his family escaped the Indian massacre of 1676, when Lancaster was destroyed, and remained uninhabited for three years. He returned to Lancaster about 1679, and rebuilt his mills and houses. He brought with him to America a suit of armor which had probably been worn by him, or some of his ancestors, in the British army. This he used sometimes to don, greatly to the terror of the Indians. He died at Lancaster in December, 1681. His wife died a short time before him. In the old burial field at Lancaster the remains of this ideal pioneer man were laid. There, upon a rude fragment of slate-stone, may be deciphered the words, faintly traced, " John Prescott deceased."

directed from [[Space:Spence Historical References|References in History]] === [[Rae-890|John Rae, MD.]] === ::RAE, JOHN MD. explorer, physician ::b. 30 September 1813 near Stromness, Orkney Islands, Scotland ::m. Catharine Jane Alicia Thompson in 1860 ::d. 22 July 1893 at London, England ::i. Kirkwall Cemetery, St Magnus Cathedral, Kirkwall, Orkney Islands, Scotland. :John Rae was the fourth son of John Rae and Margaret Glen, born at the House of Clestrain, near Stromness. He was presumably educated privately before taking up medicine at the University of Edinburgh in 1829 at the young age of sixteen, qualifying as a surgeon before he was twenty. On April 18, 1833 he was licensed by the Royal College of Surgeons in Edinburgh, and then obtained a surgeon’s post on the Hudson’s Bay Company ship Prince of Wales and sailed for Moose Factory, Rupert’s Land. :Rae remained at Moose Factory until 1843, tending the sick, hunting, trapping, and working in the company store. In 1843 he obtained leave to visit friends in Canada and traveled overland via Timiskaming to Kingston and Lachine. He returned to Moose early in 1844 and then proceed to Red River, Sault Ste Marie, and Toronto where he studied surveying in preparation for a forthcoming expedition of exploration. In 1846 he took up the survey of the Arctic mainland begun some years earlier by Thomas Simpson. Rae was considered ideal for the task. Governor George Simpson himself had noted his endurance, education, and leadership skills, and the Hudson’s Bay Company clerk and novelist R.M. Ballantyne called him one of the best snowshoers and rifle shots in the north. Sailing into Repulse Bay, where Simpson had turned back in 1837, Rae traversed what is now known as Rae Isthmus and charted the lower Gulf of Boothia for a distance of 655 miles, proving in the process that Boothia was a peninsula. His men returned safely after a fifteen-month expedition, an exceptional feat in contemporary Arctic exploration. :In October 1847, Rae went to England, where he and Sir John Richardson were appointed by the British Admiralty to try to learn the fate of Sir John Franklin. Franklin’s expedition had gone in search of the northwest passage and had not been heard of since 1845. In one of many efforts to locate Franklin, Rae and Richardson left England in 1848 and followed the Arctic coast from the Mackenzie to the Coppermine River without finding any sign of the expedition. In 1851 Rae mapped 630 miles on the south shores of Victoria and Wollaston islands; ironically at one point he was only 40 miles from the ships Franklin had abandoned in 1848. He did find two fragments from the ships, and when he was back in England in 1852 he was awarded the Founders Gold Medal by the Royal Geographical Society. He resumed the search in 1853, and during the expedition connected surveys made earlier by James Ross, Peter Warren Dease, and Simpson, thereby proving that King William was an island. On his return journey, he learned from some Inuit that white men had died near the Great Fish estuary, and he was able to purchase relics from them which confirmed the tragedy of the Franklin expedition. On arrival in England, he was awarded £10,000 for his findings, and when Francis Leopold McClintock later followed Rae’s route, he discovered the bones of the crews. :Rae used his reward to build a schooner in Canada for further exploration. It was used commercially on the Great Lakes during the winter of 1856 but was lost in a storm. Rae lived in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada from 1859 to 1859, residing in a fine stone cottage at the corner of Bay St. S. and Hunter St. W. with his brother Thomas, a shipowner and lumber agent; another brother, Richard, was an emigration agent in Hamilton. Rae became a substantial landowner, holding eight lots (9 to 16) of the original survey by James Mills on Nelson Street, between Locke and Pearl. He also practiced medicine while he was there. While in the city he acted as the first vice-president of the Hamilton Association for the Advancement of Literature, Science, and Art, founded in 1857, and became president the following year, succeeding William Ormiston. He was a striking figure. Julian Arnold of Hamilton, who knew him well, described him: ‘He has a curious way of mingling in his conversation memories, abrupt and epigrammatical, of the adventures which he had survived among the snows and blizzards of the Arctic circle. Often he would ejaculate strange words of Eskimo origin or suddenly cry commands to a leash of huskies, the reins of which he imagined were in his hands.’ His endurance was legendary, and on one occasion, in the winter of 1858, he walked from Hamilton to Toronto in seven hours, dining out later in the evening. :Rae left Hamilton in 1858 to tour Canada and the U.S. before taking up surveying once more. In 1860 he undertook a land survey from Britain to America, via the Faeroes, Iceland, and Greenland, for the purpose of laying a telegraph line. In 1864, he helped on the Hudson’s Bay Company telegraph survey from Fort Garry to the Pacific. Upon his return to the Orkney Islands in the mid-1860s, he took up residence for two years at Berstane House, south-east of the capital city of Kirkwall, overlooking the Bay of Berstane. It is now a very successful B&B. :Rae’s last years were spent in England, where he became a fellow of the Royal Society in 1880. He was also a member of the Royal Geographical Society, the British Association for the Advancement of Science, and the Royal Colonial Institute. He received an honourary law degree from the University of Edinburgh. In retirement he retained some contacts with Canada, however, representing Ontario on the executive of the Imperial Institute and acting as a director of the Canadian North West Land Company, and being made a life member of the Hamilton Association in 1885. :Rae died in 1893 in London, England. :There is a monument in his honour at St. Magnus Cathedral, Kirkwall, Orkney Islands, and his name lives on in Canada in Rae Isthmus, Rae Strait, Rae River, and Port Rae on Great Slave Lake.

John's will mentioned his daughter Mary Bush as if she were alive. He undoubtedly knew she died in 1814, probably before the Rawlings family left KY. John also mentions all of his children except Julia, Susannah, and Robert including a blank name. Susannah died in 1795, Robert died in 1813, and the blank must have been Julia. A transcript of the will reads: "In the name of God, Amen.

Land was originally granted to John Robertson by Patent, and by him '''tenderly conveyed to Thomas Robertson''' as may and doth more fully appear by the record of Goochland County court office." It appears that when the land was originally conveyed to Thomas, Tabitha did not relinquish her dower rights. Now that the land is being sold both Tabitha and the wife of Thomas were required to sign, generating the need for the new deed. The new deed was recorded 25 September 1749. This is the last record found for Tabitha Robertson. John continues to give land and property to his sons. On 6 February 1763 he deeds a negro woman Hannah and her increase to his son Hezekiah.

He places this gift under the care and direction of his son Joseph Roberson until the grandchild John arrives at the age of 21. Unfortunately there is nothing in the will to indicate the parents of these grandchildren. John leaves to his seven sons, named as "'''John Roberson Thomas Roberson Field Roberson Christopher Roberson Edward Roberson Joseph Roberson and Hezekiah Roberson''' one shilling sterling out of my estate they having before received their equal parts of my estate to that sum." The remainder of the estate was to be equally divided between "my three '''daughters Susanah Bradshew, Judith Bradshew and Elizabeth Hogan'''" and "only reserving seven pounds which has already benn paid to William Bradshew my will is that he allows two thirds of that money out of my estate to the other two namely Judith Bradshew & Elizabeth Hogan after paying my just debts and funeral expences." Sons in law Field Bradshew and William Bradshew were appointed executors. The location of John's burial place is unknown.

In 1652 this Christopher Robinson patented 600 acres of land with John Sturdivant at the head of Eastern Run (called Hatcher’s Run) of Swift Creek in Henrico Co. VA.

But since the Nancy Collins who married John Roberson in Putnam County is dead by 1821, probably in Walton Co GA, (John Roberson then remarries to Selah Pike) and the Nancy Collins who married this John III from Maryland is said to have died in 1831 in MS, near Robinson Springs, they are just not the same person. Also, the John Roberson of the Putnam Co GA marriage says, in 1850, that he was born around 1790, quite a bit younger than the John Robinson III born, according to MS descendants, in 1773. Also the pattern of migration, though similar to a point, is different in the final settlement. The Maryland Robinsons go to Mississippi in the early 1800s, very early for settlement in MS. The SC and GA John Roberson/Robinson goes from Fayette, GA to AL in about 1837, and though perhaps he later has a sojourn in MS, as some in the family say, no one seems to be sure, and a good guess is that they are getting the Maryland-SC-GA-to-Mississippi Robinsons mixed up with the SC-to-GA-AL Roberson/Robertson/Robinsons."

The underlying reason behind the study in this essay, is to identify the parents and beginning history of [[Robinson-40635|John Robinson (bef.1645-bef.1727)]], husband of Dorothy Perkins of Topsfield, MA. Extensive searches have been tirelessly conducted to find hints regarding his parents and where he may have been born, but the results were fruitless and clearly revealed that a different approach would be needed to find any useful genealogical information regarding this particular John Robinson. So this study was kicked off based on the idea that it may be possible to identify his roots using a process of elimination, that is to say there just weren't that many John Robinsons living in New England on or before his marriage to Dorothy Perkins in 1661. Therefore it may be possible to gather information on all of the John Robinsons living in New England during this period and by looking at the data from perspective of evaluating ALL John Robinsons of this place and time, it should be more deterministic to place source information with the correct John Robinson Identity. The first step is to identify, to the extent possible, every John Robinson identity living in New England in the seventeeth century, and to establish as much vital data for each identity as presently possible.

The following is a transcription of a brief account of his family written by [[Rycroft-146|John Rycroft (1822-1905)]]. The source is probably several copies away from the original. It has a couple of insertions which must have been added by a grandchild and a couple of mistakes which could be by the author or introduced in earlier copying stages. ---- John Rycroft who was born in some part of the North Riding¹ of Yorkshire was a carrier by stage-waggon between London and York on the old North Road. (Our great, great, Grandfather)² On this road, two stages South of York, is the village of Fairburn in which lived John Ascham³, a descendant of Roger Ascham (Queen Elizabeth's tutor and author of 'The Schoolmaster'), who was a farmer and Innkeeper. One of his daughters, Sarah, was married to John Rycroft, father of Thomas Rycroft. Another daughter married John Empson of York, father of Charles Empson. John and Sarah Rycroft afterwards settled at Barnsley where he continued his business of carrier and, in conjunction therewith, that of Innkeeper at The Royal Oak Inn. In those days it was usual for carriers to be also Innkeepers. There were no Hotels - people preferred to use the good old English name of Inn and to secure therewith good old English comfort; as they needed the Inn yard for their waggons, the stables for their horses and the Inn itself for housing drivers, ostlers, etc. Each Inn had also its contingent of farmers from the surrounding country - who rode or drove in, on market day, for whom a good table d'hote dinner was provided. John and Sarah Rycroft had two sons and four daughters. The Elder son, John, died young. The younger son, Thomas, succeeded to the business of carrier and added to it that of farmer and corn-miller but, after a few years gave up the Inn. Of the daughters one was married to Richard Parkinson, draper; another to Richard Carr, grocer of Barnsley. Hence our connecton with the Parkinsons and Carrs. Thomas Rycroft married Harriet, younger daughter of Richard Jennings, yeoman of The Levels near Thorne, Yorkshire, who lived on his own estate. Their only son was the present John Rycroft. Other daughters of Rd. Jennings became Mrs. Heigham and Mrs. Oliver; hence our connection with these two families. Another daughter was Mrs. Hammond of Leeds, whose son is the Rev. Joseph Hammond, vicar of St. Austell, Cornwall. (Later vicar of Beckenham, Kent.)² Thomas Rycroft's first wife, my mother, died young; and he married secondly Elizabeth Woodcock of Barnsley. Their only son was Dyson Rycroft, now vicar of Christ Church, Canon of Liverpoo; and Rural Dean. Rev. George Harrison was minister of a Nonconformist Chapel at Thorne, and also kept a School, at which some of the children of Rd. Jennings were taught. So commenced the intimacy of the families. He afterwards was minister of Netherfield Chapel near Penistone, Yorks. where he died. His son George commenced business as a bookseller at Barnsley where he married Sarah Taylor, a cousin of Miss Rowley - Miss Rowley is still living, in her 88th year. George Harrison in 1885⁴ removed to Leeds and commenced business as a Share broker losing in 1 year, through the over-speculation and subsequent collapse in Railway Shares (not of himself but of his clients) all the savings of 30 years of steady industry. His only daughter, Eliza, was married on June 1st 1848 to John Rycroft. The offspring of this union is Known to all men, and need not be detailed. WRITTEN BY JOHN RYCROFT in HIS 75th Year. JULY 21, 1897. ---- [1] It appears he was actually born at Rothwell, in the West Riding. [2] Presumably added by an earlier copier - a grandchild of the author. [3] The parish registers indicate that Sarah Ascham's father was William, not John. [4] This should be 1845. George Harrison died in 1849.

This case is one of peculiar hardship, and I take the liberty to mention the circumstance without consulting Mr. Scrivener, who is a man of very respectable standing in society, remarkable for his piety and goodness—he has a wife and twelve children. The fortification was made on his land, being a small embankment about three feet high. At the time the enemy made their attack on Town Point, Capt. Simmons and Capt. Tillard with most of their officers and men were on duty in Baltimore for the defense of that city. The command at Town Point devolved on Lt. Scrivener, who with the few men left of Capt. Simmons and Capt. Tillard’s company were stationed there. The British approached the fortification in their barges in such an overwhelming force that all the men but some 6 or 8 retreated. The battle commenced –the station was gallantly defended by Lt. Scrivener—his cannon was well plied—and when the match gave out, in his zeal to repel the enemy, he laid the pan of a musket on the touch hole of the cannon and fired her in that way—standing near the gun carriage the recoil of the gun ran over his foot—they were compelled to retreat through an open field, nearly half a mile, all the while exposed to the fire of a fleet of barges. All the men could run, but poor Scrivener, who hobbled away as best he could with his lacerated foot, the blood running over the top of his shoe almost at every step. War of 1812 Lt. John Scrivener served in the 2nd company, Maryland Militia.

The goal of this project is to ... Right now this project just has one member, me. I am [[Giles-3244|Carolyn Dominish]]. Here are some of the tasks that I think need to be done. I'll be working on them, and could use your help. I am trying to get my Family Tree up to date starting with the birth of John Smart c.1590.* In England. I am going to limit this project to Smarts in England. At this stage I do not wish to expand into the US. John Smart married Sara Vercolje in London. John was a silk merchant and Sara was a weaver. They met in a place called Spitalfields, London. I am also attempting to get sufficient proof to support this marriage. My mother's grandmother was Matilda Smart who married John Dominish. My family are direct descendants of John and Sara Smart. I do have proof, but as I have said, I am still trying to add and bring up to date the descendants resulting from the union of John and Sara Smart. Sara Vercolje's father Rogier Vercolje fled Belgium due to the Reformation. Pleaase note that there are many variations of the Vercolje name. Mainly though, from the information that I have found, they came from Kortrijk. The proof mentioned above is quite interesting with several offshoots to notables and aristocrats (under the names Vercolje and Rycaut,) and folks just like us. Carolyn Dominish Giles-3244 Will you join me?

They were gay and social and therefore very popular with the beaux. One of these beaux, Henry Willis (b. 1691-2; d. Sept. 14, 1740), was a youth of impetuous character and determined will. He courted all three girls at the same time, and so impartial was he in his attentions that they all three laughed at him, declaring that he did not know his own mind, and turned his pretensions into ridicule. Whereupon he vowed that he would not rest until he had married all three of them. In due process of time Ann Alexander married John Smith, of "Purton." Mildred Howell married John Brown, and Mildred Washington married Roger Gregory. John Smith, of "Purton," was the first to die, and Henry Willis, as soon as he dared, came over and laid seige to the widow, and they were married November 2, 1714. Ann (Alexander) Willis, the widow of Smith, died about 1726, having borne to Henry Willis six children: (children listed) Mildred Howell was the next of the three girls to lose her husband, and Henry Willis immediately laid seige to the widow Brown, whom he married October 30, 1726.

BY THE EDITOR] I. '''FAMILY OF JOHN SMITH, OF PURTON'''. Richard Bernard, of Petsworth, Buckinghamshire, was born in 1618, and married Anne Corderoy, born in 1622; they were licensed to be married at St. Andrews-in-the-Wardrobe November 24, 1634(1). Bernard's arms were a bear rampant(2). The family is found in York County in 1647, and that year Richard Bernard had a lease of Pryor's plantation above Yorktown. In 1661, "Anna Bernard, now of Purton(3), in Petsoe Parish", Gloucester county (which '''Page 47. The Smiths of Virginia; Wm. and Mary Qrtly., Vol. 4, No. 1, page 47-52''' parish was doubtless named in honor of the Bernard family), sold Pryor's plantation, purchased by her in 1652 of Thomas Edwards, of the Inner Temple, London, gentleman, and Margaret, his wife, one of the two daughters of William Pryor, deceased; and the deed is witnessed by Francis Bernard and John Smith. Mrs. Anne Bernard was guardian of the orphans of Col. Samuel Matthews, of Warwick county; and in 1670 Major John Smith was a guardian. In 1653 Mrs. Anne Bernard wrote to Walter Brodhurst(4), of Northumberland county, a letter, in which she refers to her daughter, Anne Smith. 1. Major John Smith, first of Warwick county, Speaker of the House of Burgesses, had occasion on March 13, 1657, as presiding officer of the House of Burgesses, to voice the refusal of the members to accept the order of dissolution by Governor Mathews. They continued sitting and won the case. Their declaration, signed first by "John Smith, Speaker", runs: "That we find by the records the present power of government to reside in such persons as shall be empowered by the Burgesses (the representatives of the people) who are not dissolvable by any power extant in Virginia but the House of Burgesses". The House elected Mathews Governor, and issued orders, over the name of John Smith, Speaker, to the sergeant-at-arms, to execute no warrants but those of the Speaker(5). In 1663 a conspiracy of the servants was exposed by "Berkenhead, a servant of John Smith, of Purton". The Assembly, September 16, 1663, "Resolved that Berkenhead (the discoverer of the 'horrid plot") have his freedom and 5000 pounds of tobacco given him in Gloucester county, and that his master be satisfied in said county for his time". It was also resolved that the 13th of September, the day fixed for the alleged rising, "be annually kept holy."(6). John Smith became Lieutenant Colonel before 1674, and in that year he was agent for Mr. Richard Tyler, of London, who had lands in Gloucester county, by the courtesy of England(7). During Bacon's Rebellion, Smith ws one of the prominent men whom the great patriot compelled to take the oath of allegiance at Middle Plantation, on August 3, 1676(8). He was afterwards classed by the king's commissioners among the "eminent sufferers" by the rebels. March 7, 1675-6, Lt. Coll John Smith, Major John Lewis, Capt. Philip Lightfoot, Mr. Thomas Royster, and Mr. John Buckner, patented land in Gloucester Co. '''Page 48.

Register(16) of Edward Jaquelin of Jamestown: Edward Jaquelin (b. 1668, d. 1739), son of John Jaquelin and Elizabeth '''Page 50. The Smiths of Virginia; Wm. and Mary Qrtly., Vol. 4, No. 1, page 47-52''' Craddock of Kent, England, emigrated to Virginia about the year 1697, and married for his second wife, 1706-7, Martha (b. 1686, d. 1738) dau. of William Cary, Gent., of Warwick Co., son of Miles Cary. He was a merchant of prominence and wealth at Jamestown. Issue: Mathew Jaquelin was born 1707-8 and died 1727. Elizabeth Jaquelin was born Oct. 1709 and died 1759. Martha Jaquelin was born Jany 1711 and died 1804. Mary Jaquelin was born March 1714 and died Oct. 4, 1764. Edward Jaquelin was born Dec. 1716 and died 1733-4. Elizabeth Jaquelin married Richard Ambler, the old Colonial treasurer, ancestor of all the Virginia Amblers. Martha Jaquelin remained single and died at the advanced age of 95. She was known as "Lady" Jaquelin on account of her high, aristocratic ideas, and it is said she waited for a duke or a count to come over and address her. At the age of 50 she took upon herself the title of "Mistress", a custom in vogue in England amongst aged spinsters at that day. Mary Jaquelin married John Smith, a son of Augustine Smith and Sarah Carver. The two sons of Edward Jaquelin died in youth, so that the name Jaquelin as a sir name became extinct with the death of their father, they having pre-deceased him. Martha Jaquelin and her son, Edward, gave to the church at Jamestown a silver baptismal font in 1733-4, which, after the destruction of the church, was returned to Col. John Ambler as the nearest representative of the donors, and was by him presented to Monumental church, Richmond (where it now does service), on the express condition that it should be retained in all time in its present shape. These are the inscriptions engraved upon it. This is that around the rim on the upper side: "After the church at James City was destroyed this basin was returned to Col. John Ambler, of Jamestown, as the representative of the donor, and by him was presented, in the year 1831, to the Monumental church, city of Richmond, upon the condition that it should be retained in all time in its present shape for the use of the church". The following is on the bottom, "Given by Martha, the wife of Edward Jaquelin, and Edward, their son, for the use of the church in James City. The last Dyed in Hackny - Interred in Shadwell church-yard. Aged 18." NOTES. 1. Chester's London Marriage Licenses. 2. York Records. 3. Purton Plantation lies on York River. 4. His widow married Col.

My uncle was remarkably accurate in everything he did, and I am sure General Smith's version was given correctly. The Bible register was copied by General Smith, 6th August, 1773, just before he removed to Frederick county, as he copied the same data into a Bible for his niece at that time, a copy of which I had sent me by her daughter, an old lady now residing in Richmond. I have a copy furnished from an entirely different souce, it having been taken from a copy made from the old Bible itself, which was some years since in the possession of Capt. Boyd Smith of Alexandria, and I presume was destroyed during the late war. This gentleman was a descendant of General Smith's eldest brother, Augustine. I am sure Augustine Smith was an Episcopal clergyman, at least I have been told so. All of these copies of the "Purton" register have been identical, which undoubtedly is verification sufficient. 10. According to a deed dated 1708 in York county, Mrs. Mildred Warner bought land of her brother, Thomas Reade. On her death she left the same to her son, Robert Warner, who dying childless, the land went to her three daughters, Isabella who married John Lewis, Mildred who married Lawrence Washington (Grandfather of George Washington), and Mary who married John Smith deceased. 11. Mr. E. J. Davison adds an item here’s given by Gen. Smith, of Hackwood, and as coming from one of his correspondents, both being identical; "Philip Smith, of Northumberland, died June 4, 1743, being 48 years and 3 days old." 12. Robert Porteus married secondly Elizabeth, daughter of Hon. Edmund Jennings, mother of Beilby Porteus, Bishop of Chester. She, Elizabeth, died 20 January, 1754, aet. 60, and was buried in St. Martin's, Cony St., York. (Jening's Pedigree from New York Curio.) 13. In the Petsworth Parish Vestry Book, Capt. John Smith appears as vestryman, in room of Capt. Lightfoot, October 5, 1691. An order was made by the vestry about the L10 left by him to the poor. Under date of October 1, 1701, it is stated that "Madam Mary Smith" left a legacy of L5 to be distributed among the poor. 14. COPY OF A DEED OF JOHN CARVER OF "GLOSTER".

These dates were supplied by Mr. Davison from other sources: "John Smith, Sen., of Shooter's Hill, died November 19th, 1771, at 3 in the morning, aged 56 years, at 'Harewood', the house of Samuel Washington, near Winchester, to which he was on a visit. Mary Smith, Senr., of Shooter's Hill, died Novemer 19, 1754, aged 50 years." "'Shooter's Hill', the home of the Smiths in Middlesex county, was situated on the Rappahannock River, not far from the town of urbanna. The house was a large three-story brick, covered on the top with lead, and had a fish-pond on it, where a mess of fish might be caught at any time. John Smith, the proprietor, lived in style, with his coach-and-six, and three postillions in livery. The place descended to Dr. Augustine Jaqueline Smith, son of Augustine Smith, eldest son of John Smith and Mary Jacquelin, and was burned while the owner was in Europe". - Mrs. mary Smith Mutter, granddaughter of Rev. Thomas and Mary Smith. 16. "The above register was furnished me from a number of sources, and in the main they all agree; there are, however, a few discrepancies. One gives the date of the marriage of E. J. and M. C., as 1697, while his wife at that time ws but nine years of age. A remarkably youthful bride! Full investigation gives the above result". - E. J.

In 1790 Hawkins County was ceded to the Territory of the United States of America South of the River Ohio and in 1796 the area became the state of Tennessee. ''When Jefferson County was established in 1792 it took in a small section of Hawkins County, so it appears they may have settled along the lower end of the Holstein River near its junction with the French Broad River to form the Tennessee River near Knoxville.'' Of their known children ''(from the estate papers)'' it appears that Nancy, Elizabeth, Samuel, John Jr. and Alexander were born before the move and Jane and Pherebee after the move. Son John Jr. died in Hawkins Co. John died 'about the month of February 1793 not having made any will.'

Other than '''Samuel''', the only surviving children were '''Jane''' wife of Thomas Phelps dec., and '''Pheraby''' wife of John Hinton.

Page 05 ===JOHN SON OF DRIMY 1309=== :In a charter roll of King Robert The Bruce :dated 1309, appears the following. :"'''The King's band of XX merks to Joanni filio Drimyngis, furth of Lathirdaill.'''" :Who was John ? Where was John ? What was John doing ? :What do we know of our kinsman John Drimy? :The short answer is not very much. :However we can be reasonably certain, given the scarcity :of numbers of our family members through out the years :that he is one of our kinsmen. A stickler for documentary proof :will no doubt decry this assumption but it suits our purpose. :At least we can include him in our story on the merits of his name :if not on cast iron direct links. For we are as much concerned here :with the name as we are with our family ties. :Much later these links whilst tenuous at times :will by and large be well documented. :However most of the people we will meet for a while :will relate to us by reason of their name :and geographical location only. :'''Furth of Latherdaill''' :Where then is this place where John came from? :For a long while, when ever I questioned those people :whom I assumed might know the answer, they would say,"Lauderdaill" :in relation to the place of that name in Berwickshire. :However this certainly didn't satisfy my regard :for the fact that I have yet to find any reference to our name :any further south than Dundee. (I will expand on this in a later section) :This being over the period researched 1309 to at least 1745. :My assumption from this, being, :that it was unlikely that Lauderdaill in Berwickshire :was the local that I was looking for. :What are our chances of establishing the actual location :of this earliest known holder of our surname. :For this I think we must consider first the dialect of the area :in which we know that the Drimmie's had been located :from the mid 1500's, then use that in context :with the written rendition of the place name. :Our ancestors, from say, Charles Drymmie in Perth 1546, :Johnne Drymmie in Dundee 1612 :and the closely connected enclave stretching across the :Howe Of The Mearns, noted over the period 1580's to 1850's :place us firmly in the north eastern lowlands. :A.C. Cameron in his book on Fettercairn, :quoting an anecdote, illustrative of the cleverness of a boy :waiting to be hired at one of the last Fettercairn markets, :points the direction which we should take in our quest. :The boy was asked by a spruce farmer if he wished to be engaged. :"Ou ay," said the youth. :"Wha was your last maister?" was the next question. :"Oh yonder him," said the boy; and he agreed to wait where he stood :with some other youths till the enquirer should return :from examination of his late employer. :The farmer returned and accosted the boy. :"Weel, lathie, I've been speerin' about ye an' I'm to tak' ye." :"Ou ay," was the prompt reply, :"an' I've been speerin' about you tae, an' I'm nae gaen!" :'''Lathie/Laddie''' :When we consider the vernacular of the farmer :in his use of the word "Lathie", :over the more anglicized, "Laddie" :and relate this to our charter roll name "Lathirdaill :we must not forget that when the scribe asks John where he comes from :Johns reply will sound like the farmers Lathie :and the written word will echo on paper this sound. :So for Lathirdail we are looking for Lauderdaill, :not the well known Lauderdaill of Berwickshire, :but by virtue of the known area in which the early Drymmies :have been located and the dialect of that area :we are not looking any further south :than Dundee and the natural boundary of the Tay. :Indeed the place name we are searching for probably no longer exists :and a prolonged and detailed search :back through the records is the order of the day. :As luck would have it :whilst looking through some documents in Records Office Edinburgh, :totally unrelated to the quest for Lathirdaill, :I came upon this item. :Instrument of sasine, by Alexander Pattoune, brabiner, burgess of Forfar, :now indweller in Glasgow, in favor of James Dall, yr., writer in Forfar, :of a croft of land called Lauderdaill croft, :and another croft lying above the kirk in said burgh. 1669. :(ref. GD1 / 61 / 7 ) S.R.O. :'''Could this be the place named Lathirdaill in the charter?''' :Index Of Charters Robertson reads, :1309 King Robert The Bruce. :The King's band of xx. merks to :Joanni Filio Drimyngis, furth of Lathirdaill. :Register Of The Great Seal, :Index A , reads-----Carta Joannis fili Brinenge de Terris de Netherdole. :Index B , reads ------ Lathirdaill. :British Museum M.S., reads -----Sathirdaill. :Looking at the above manuscript entries :it would seem that there is some difficulty :in deciphering the written word as there are several renditions. :This illustrates the necessity to go directly :to the original manuscripts to ascertain what exactly has been written. :It is never advisable to take secondary information as gospel truth, :many editors and translators make mistakes :and may gloss over portions of worth to the researcher :What do we know of Forfar at this time which would :strengthen it in our favor as John Drimy's domicile? :Forfar is a town of considerable antiquity :it's name is derived from the Gaelic words, fuar and barr' being cold point. :It is thought, that the first Scottish Parliament met here convened by :Malcolm Canmore (1057-1093). :Malcolm and his beautiful Queen Margaret are said to have spent :much of their time here in their Royal Palace or Castle at Forfar. :In the reign of William the Lion (1165-1214), :we hear of the Castle being the occasional residence of William :and of a Court assembly being held at Forfar. :William's son Alexander II resided in it more frequently :and held Parliaments at Forfar in 1225 and 1227 :giving charters from it dated almost to the end of his reign in 1294. :In 1291 Gilbert de Umfraville had the command of the castle of Forfar :and when King Edward I of England demanded the surrender of it he refused, :declaring that he had the castle in charge from the Scottish nation. :In 1296 Edward visited Forfar and lodged in the castle for a few days. :In the following year while Brian Fitzadam held the castle for Edward, :William Wallace captured it, then by 1308 :it was once again in the hands of the English. :Soon after, King Robert Bruce :assisted by Philip the forester of Platane or Plater :took it by escalade, put all the English in it to the sword, :leveled it and it's fortifications to the ground and it was never rebuilt. :After he had demolished the castle, Bruce had a house at Forfar :and we may infer that he was not a stranger in it from the fact that, :only two years before his death he gave his falconer in the shire of Forfar :Geoffry of Foullertoune and Agnes his wife, :the lands of Foullertoune in Forfarshire. :Whilst it is obvious that Bruce would be ranging far and wide :in his campaigns against the English, :and many men would join with him from all over the land, :it is at this point that I would like to submit that indeed our John Drimy :was indigenous to Forfar despite the meager evidence. :From here we may enter the realms of conjecture and imagine :that having bonded himself to the King the bold John :went on through each campaign with Bruce :even to take part in that glorious victory of 1314 :so beloved of all Scots, Bannockburn. === '''Links To The History Of Drimmie or Drummie''' === [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:John_Drimmy_Sheriff_of_the_County_of_Aberdeenshire NEXT PAGE John Drimmy Sheriff of The County of Aberdeenshire 1325 ] [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:CE_759_Earliest_Known_Holder_of_Surname BACK A PAGE TO Dub Druman ] [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Drimmie_Or_Drummie_Index_to_PAGES Drimmie Or Drummie History Index to PAGES] [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Drimmie_Name_Study Return to NAME STUDY HOME PAGE]

==Biography== Was John Stephenson in York County,South Carolina,the John Stephenson and Jane James who sold land to William Ramsey in 1753 near Lexington,Virginia? If this was the John Stephenson who sold out in Augusta County,Virginia in 1753 and immediately went to Bullocks Creek in York County,South Carolina, it would seem that John Stephenson had been living on Bullocks Creek long enough for the surveyor to write that he had surveyed 200 acres to a place called Stinson's Branch on Bullock Creek in 1762. If John Stephenson had been living on Bullocks Creek for some time up to 1762, I don't believe he could have been the John Stephenson who arrived in South Carolina from Ireland in 1763 on the ship the ''Falls''. This John Stephenson had taken advantage of the Land Bounty Act of 1761. What was the maiden name of John Stephenson's wife? Is there any record of a John Stephenson owning a slave named Nelly during this time period? I belonged to a group that researched the Stephensons,Stevensons,and Stinsons in Augusta County,VA. My John Stephenson was put in Clan 2 that included a John Stephenson,George Stephenson and Andrew Stephenson who lived about 10 miles northeast of Lexington,Virginia in Borden Grant. I don't believe he could have belonged to John Stephenson and Martha Warwick in the Calf Pasture nor John Stephenson who married Sarah Waite and lived in Beverly's Grant. ==Sources== ''The Scotch-Irish Settlement in Virginia'' by Lyman Chalkley. p.255,Volume 3.

http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Stone-1175 ------ John Stone #1 A brief summary of the first six generations of the American family follows. As heretofore explained, most of this material is based on previously published sources. (For familysearch.org, the six generations are listed individually under the Life Sketch or Memories/Stories tab of each person beginning with John Stone, the first generation to come to America. Note by LC) Generation I (1) John Stone was born about 1610 at Hereford on the River Wye near Guildford, Surrey co., England, and died in Feb 1687 at Guilford, Connecticut. He was the son of Rev. Samuel Stone, a non-conformist divine of Hereford, Herefordshire, England. No records of his father’s marriage exist in the Parish records since he was not a member of the Church of England. John Stone and his brother William came to New England in the company of Rev. Henry Whitfield, William Leete and at least twenty-one others. On the first day of June 1639, while on shipboard, this “Guilford Company” signed a plantation covenant in which they expressed their intention to settle near Quinnipiack (New Haven). They also promised “that we will, the Lord assisting us, sit down and join ourselves together in one in tire plantation; and to be helpful each to the other… according to every man’s ability… and we promise not to desert or leave each other or the plantation…” Between the 10th and 15th of July, 1639, they entered New Haven harbor ~ the first vessels that had entered it. The little company immediately began looking for a spot upon which to settle and decided upon Menunkatuck which they soon re-named Guilford. Before winter they had built their houses and moved into them. The deed of the township was obtained from the great Mohegan sachem Uncas, who claimed the land by virtue of the conquest of the Pequods in which they had assisted ~ the consideration paid to him being four coats, two kettles, four fathoms of wampum, four hatchets, and three hoes. They called the town Guilford from Guildford, England, a borough-town and the capital of Surrey, where many of them had lived. Both John and his brother cultivated farms; William supplemented his income by keeping an inn and John by the vocation of clothier and mason. John was for many years the town constable – a highly respected office. John Stone married in 1642, Mary ______.

(1861) === Parker family (1870s to 1880s) === * John and Emily Mary Parker John was a schoolmaster. The couple were aged 47 and 46 in 1881. They later moved to Islington where John worked as a school board clerk. Later addresses: * 59 Fonthill Road, Islington (1891) (1871, 1881 but not 1891) === Newman family === * Walter H T and Louisa Newman ** M J Newman (daughter, 1) Walter was an 'electro plater'. In 1891 Walter had moved to 67 Dunlace Road, Hackney, where he was married to "J Newman" and has three younger children plus M J, born 1880, and is still working as an electro plate worker. Presumably Louisa died between 1881 and 1891. Later addresses: * 67 Dunlace Road, Hackney (1891) (1881) == 2 John Street == === Divall family === * James and Ann Divall ** John Divall * Charles and Louisa Divall Actually two households but probably related. All the men are wood sawyers. Louisa is an 'ironer'? (1861) === Kinsey family === * Mary Ann Kinsey ** Mary Ann Kinsey ** Elizabeth Kinsey ** William Kinsey ** Emma Kinsey ** Charles Kinsey (1861) === Dorris family === * William and Hannah Dorris (1861) == 3 John Street == === Wiggs family === * William and Sarah Jane Wiggs ** William Wiggs ** Robert Wiggs ** Thomas Wiggs ** Jane Wiggs ** John Wiggs (1861) === Bartlett family === * George (69) and Elizabeth (46) Bartlett ** John Bartlett (17) ** Emily Bartlett (12) ** Jane Bartlett (35) Seems likely Jane is not Elizabeth's daughter based on the ages. (1861) == 4 John Street == === Wills family === * Edward and Mary Ann Wills ** Mary Ann Amy Wills ** Emily Wills ** Edward Wills ** Henry Wills (1861) === Briant family === * Catherine Briant (listed as 'lodger', aged 60, laundress) * Elizabeth Briant (aged 70, needlewoman) They have two separate entries but it seems likely that they're related, tbc. (1861) == 5 John Street == === Siney family === * James and Sarah Siney ** Frederick Siney * Martha Brown (newborn listed as "nursechild") Martha was apparently born in New Cross, Surrey. Sarah's occupation is unlisted and she's 57. (1861) === Skam family === * William and Mary Ann Skam ** William Skam (1861) == 6 John Street == === Lewis family === * George and Sophia Lewis ** Laura Lewis ** Thomas Lewis ** Ann Lewis ** Emma Lewis ** Betsy Lewis ** Sophia Lewis (1861) === Whatley family === * James Daniel and Elizabeth Whatley ** William Whatley ** Henry Whatley ** Thomas Whatley ** Maria Whatley ** Daniel Whatley ** Emily Whatley (1861) == 7 John Street == === Brunsdon family === * William and Elizabeth Brunsdon ** Elizabeth S Brunsdon ** Esther C Brunsdon ** Jane E Brunsdon (1861) === Tufnail family === * John and Eliza Tufnail ** Eliza Tufnail ** John Tufnail ** George Tufnail (1861) === Green family === * Amelia Green (boarder, widow, 60) (1861) === King family (before 1871 to after 1881) === * Thomas and Rebecca King ** Thomas King ** John King ** Sarah Ann King ** Emma King ** Walter King ** Alfred King ** George King ** Ellen King The Kings first appear in the 1871 census with their eldest four children, and are still there in 1881. Thomas Sr, Thomas Jr and John all worked as general labourers, while Sarah had started work as a laundress by 1881. Rebecca and all the children were born in Camberwell, while Thomas came from Kingston on Thames. (1871, 1881) == 8 John Street == === Sadler family === * John and Eliza Sadler ** Eliza Sadler ** Maria Sadler ** Caroline Sadler ** Elizabeth Sadler ** John Sadler ** Sarah Sadler (1861) === Carpenter family === * Harriet Carpenter (53) ** Lydia Maria Carpenter (21) ** Henry Carpenter (13) ** William Carpenter (8) 45yo seems rather late to have a child, but I suppose it's possible. (1861) == 9 John Street == === Watts family (1861) === * James and Ann Watts ** Isaac Watts ** Mary Ann Watts === Piper family (1861) === * Joseph Thorn (widower) ** James Piper (son - possibly son-in-law?) ** Mary A Piper (daughter) ** Grandchildren of Joseph Thorn *** Mary F Piper *** James Piper *** Joseph Piper *** Louisa Piper *** Fanny Piper *** Henry Piper Seems most likely that James Piper married Mary A Thorn, Joseph Thorn's daughter, and all the grandchildren are their children. (1861) === Ward family (1881) === * [[Ward-33316|William]] and [[Lewis-44637|Sophia Ward]] ** George J Ward ** William Ward ** Emily A Ward *** ''and later her husband Robert Abbard and their son William'' ** Clara F Ward ** William S Ward ** Alfred H Ward ** Eleanor S Ward ** Annie E Ward ** Charles R Ward ** Arthur Ward ** Helen S Jolly (granddaughter, aged 3 in 1891, parents ??) * '''Visitors over the years''' ** Mary A Goves (visitor, 1871) ** William Ashley (lodger, 1881) William Ward and Sophia Lewis were married in Hackney in 1851"England and Wales Marriage Registration Index, 1837-2005," database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:2D3F-C58 : 13 December 2014), William Ward, 1851; from "England & Wales Marriages, 1837-2005," database, findmypast (http://www.findmypast.com : 2012); citing 1851, quarter 1, vol. 3, p. 125, Hackney, London, England, General Register Office, Southport, England.. In 1871 they were living nearby at Kimpton Road, Camberwell, then by 1881 they were at 9 John Street.

Perhaps the head of the household was away on census night. == 25 John Street == === Archin family === * Thomas and Hannah Archin ** Sophia Archin (1861) == 26 John Street == === Arnold family === * John and Mary Ann Arnold ** Mary Ann Arnold ** Emma Jane Arnold ** Ada Harriet Arnold ** Alice Caroline Arnold (1861 census) == 28 John Street == === Best family === * Charles William Best and Mary Best ** Elizabeth Alice Best (daughter) ** Henry Horatia Best (stepson) (1861) === Mitchell family === * Hersey and Kezia/Rezia Mitchell (1861) == Unclear address == === Jolly family === * Joseph and Mary Jolly * Dorothy Welson (mother-in-law) (1861) Any relation to Helen S Jolly, the granddaughter of the Ward family? === Road family === * William and Eliza Road ** Fredrick W Road (1861)

[[Swasey-5|John Swasey (abt.1584-abt.1686)]] ---- 1) October 2022 -- Brad Stauf searched for the earliest documented appearance in New England of this family, in the context of determining if they should be included in the Puritan Great Migration Project: ''Where did the family appear and when?'' *Essex Quarterly Court Records Vol. 1 p. 206 3 Feb 1650/51 John Swaysy listed as husband of Katherine King (2nd daughter of deceased William King). This would be Swazey-126. Earliest appearance. *Great Migration Vol 4 page 175 on 15 March 1652/53(?) John Swasy of Salem sold his dwelling house to widow Dorothy King (widow of the above William) citing Essex County Deeds 1:17. Whether this was John Sr. or John Jr. is not said. *First Church of Salem on 19 Apr 1666 (page 27 https://archive.org/details/recordsoffirstch00firs_0/page/26/mode/2up) we have members Joseph, Elizabeth, Mary, Abigail, Samuel, John children of Mary Swasy. Was this Mary the wife of Joseph Swazey-101, one of the two immigrating sons of John Swazey Sr. and brother of John Swazey-125 "Junior"? His profile has no wife listed but does list children Joseph, Elizabeth and Mary although unsourced. *Savage's Genealogical Dictionary (Vol. 4 p. 237 https://archive.org/details/genealogicaldic04savarich/page/236/mode/2up) says that Joseph (one of the immigrant sons) was in Salem by 1668 and it was perhaps his daughter Elizabeth who married a Lightfoot. Nothing at all about any John Swazey. *Salem Vital Records earliest entries are for the children of Joseph & Mary Swazey starting with daughter Mary in 1653 https://ma-vitalrecords.org/MA/Essex/Salem/aBirthsS.shtml so clearly Savage was a bit off-base on this family. The earliest death for somebody of this name was 1762. *Essex County Deeds earliest entry as grantee was Joseph Swazey from Abraham Cole on 14 Jan 1680 for land or property in Salem (Book 5 entry 102) index here https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-99ZZ-BSHL?i=252&cc=2106411&cat=209907 *Essex County Deeds earliest entry as grantor was the 1652 entry mentioned by Anderson to Dorothy King (Book 1 Entry 17) index here https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-99ZZ-YYPD?i=522&cc=2106411&cat=209907. Original deed is here https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-L9ZZ-BCR4?i=61&cc=2106411&cat=209907 but sheds no light on when he acquired the land. Deeds did not start being recorded until 1640 but in no way does this prove that John obtained the land before 1640 himself. *Town Records of Salem (1634-1680) only appearance is Joseph in 1681 https://archive.org/details/cu31924105756856/page/n337/mode/2up ''In what reliable sources did they not appear?'' *"List of freemen, Massachusetts Bay Colony from 1630 to 1691 : with freeman's oath, the first paper printed in New England" has no name remotely close to Swazey https://archive.org/details/cu31924028814304/page/n33/mode/2up *Did not appear in Records of the governor and company of the Massachusetts bay in New England Vol. 1 1628-1641 (also no appearance in Vol 2 or 3 which covers up to 1657). Did not appear in the index of freemen in volumes 1 or 2. *Hotten's "Persons of Quality" has no name similar to Swazey in the index https://archive.org/details/originallistspe00hottgoog/page/571/mode/2up *Pope's "Pioneers of Massachusetts" has no Swazey in the index https://archive.org/details/pioneersofmassac00pope/page/546/mode/2up *Shurtleff's "Plymouth Colony" vols 1 & 2 (court orders) have no Swazey in the index covering through 1651 just in case he lived there at some time (nor did Volume 8 "Miscellaneous" records) *Boyer's "Ship's Passenger Lists" has no Swazey https://www.familysearch.org/library/books/viewer/43305/?offset=0#page=261&viewer=picture&o=&n=0&q= ''Did they arrive in 1632?'' The "sources" for this claim on this profile are auto-aggregated "sources" from ancestry.com with, let's say "highly variable" quality. *Colket's "Founders of Early America" must be completely disregarded. The funding "Patriots" organization is a vanity membership group which does not vet the submissions of it's members. *Marion Turk's 1983 "The quiet adventurers in North America" asserts that John arrived with sons John and Joseph [https://archive.org/details/quietadventurers00turk/page/618/mode/2up p. 618 Swasey]. Her focus was Channel Islands immigrants and noted that John Swazey "was said to be of Jersey" and that, along with Phillip English who was apparently from Jersey, "laid out English Street in Salem with John's sons" noting that John had 7 children. She then went on to say that a DIFFERENT John Swasey came from England in 1632 with sons John & Joseph, that they were Quakers and that they removed from Salem to Southold, Long Island. Turk gives as her sources the December 1930 "Boston Transcript", Perley III; Swasey and "Driver Gen". **Perley is Sydney Perley's "History of Salem [https://archive.org/details/historyofsalemma03perl/page/6/mode/2up 3:7] which starts the family in New England with John "Junior" who married Katherine King but says nothing of their English origins and says that this John died in 1706 at Aquaboge, Long Island (his profile says 1692 but is unsourced). **The Boston Evening Transcript Genealogy sections from [https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSQS-197F-7?cat=2822107 December 1930] is available at familysearch.org but is not indexed so may take some time to review this well-known genealogy column. Again, these were typically reader submissions with highly variable quality and sourcing. Swazey in any of it's spellings does not seem to appear as a primary topic of either the "Questions" or "Answers" sections so why it was included in Turk's sources is not yet clear but it seemed to be associated with their removal to Southold, LI rather than their supposed English origin. **"Swasey" is ([er the Bibliography) the Swasey Family Genealogy from 1910 cited on this profile which, as has been noted, is unsourced. **"Driver Gen" is the [https://archive.org/details/driverfamilyage00cookgoog/page/n6/mode/2up 1889 Driver Family book] by Harriet Ruth Waters Cooke. It first encounters a Swasey in about 1727 marrying into the Driver family so says nothing about the Swazey family origins. :So in the end, ancestry.com's "U.S. and Canada, Passenger and Immigration Lists Index, 1500s-1900s" claim for a 1632 immigration relies on Colket which is completely unreliable and Turk who relies soley on the unsourced 1910 writings of Benjamin Franklin Swazey. ________________________________________________________________ 2) One of the descendants of the [[Swazey-70|'Jersey Settler']] Swayzes took the Benjamin Franklin Swasey book and looked for original records to support each part of the story.

Records of Deeds Book "K" #34 & 34 Jan. 24, 1774--John Ross and wife Mary to James Bullock for 120 pds. land on both sides of Nicholases creek at line formerly Earl Granville's containing 652 acres Wts. Thomas Yates, Jeremiah Bullock, Joshua Bullock Records of Deeds Book "M" #53-54 Nov. 24, 1777-- Thomas Yates to James Bullock for 236 pds. two tracts of land on North side of Ledge of Rocks creek, on tract bought of George Byars by Yates, Sept. 19, 1770, and the other tract, George Byars bought of Henry McCulloch Sept. 3, 1759 at George Miller corner containing 271 acres and the other tract continining 200 acres also at Millers line. In both tracts 471 acres (signed Thomas and Elizabeth Yates). Wts: Jeremiah Bullock, Solomon Staton, William Ogelvie. The planation that James Bullock lived on was purchased from Thomas Yates and at that time was on the main road from Harrisburg to Hillsborough, N. C. and today its names is Tally Ho Road. "James Bullock, the third son of John Bullock, Jr., and Catherine, was born in St. Mary's County, Maryland about 1723. He married Sarah (possibly Webb) and in about 1768 they, with several young children, joined the ox-wagon caravan which moved across Virginia to the northern border county of Granville, North Carolina [source cited: Proof of relationship to Maryland Bullocks: Charles, son of James, Revolutionary peson [sic] S 9108 says he was born 1759 in St. Mary's Co., Md. and came to Granville Co., N.C. about 1768.]. On account of the mild climate, rich soil, and comparative quiet of the Catewba Indians, this county was settled earlier and became an organized county of the colony in 1746. "James bought a plantation of 271 acres, 'the land lying on the north side of the Ledge of Rock Creek' and another tract of 200 acres, 'beginning at George Miller's corner' [Deed Book M, p. 53, Court House, Oxford, N.C.]. In 1773, he paid Edward Stabler 101 pounds, 9 shillings for 653 acres of land [Deed Book K, p. 153. 1773, Court House, Oxford, N.C.], and in 1777, for 152 acres lying on both sides of Nichols Creek, he paid James Ross 120 pounds [Deed Book K, p. 53. 1777, Court House, Oxford, N.C.]. "It may be well to remember that the Colonies were still loyal subjects of the English king and were ruled by a representative of the king in each colony. The church in 'power' in North Carolina, as well as in Virginia and other colonies, was the Church of England. Although the colonists were permitted to worship as they saw fit, only ministers of the church were permitted to perform ceremonies. 'Banns' could be published or announced from the pulpit for those who wished to be married, or they could buy a license and furnish a fifty pound bond. "Joining the lands of Moore, Stem, and Bullock was the 'Meeting House'. Since it was built on a grant of land belonging to George Lane Moore, it was known as Moore's Church. This was built of logs, and it had split log benches and slat backs. Ministers of different denominations held services regularly. Here the Bullocks worshiped with their neighbor families, the Haskins, Quarles, Freeman, Stem, etc. Many of these intermarried. "People of even moderate means sent their children to schools, where they were taught reading, writing, and arithmetic, along with a surprising amount of 'manners'. Girls were taught at home and the boys' school days were over when they were big enough to work unless they were entering a profession or were being apprenticed to an artisan to learn a trade. "We only know that the children of James and Sarah Bullock could read, write and 'figger' as is shown in some of the inventories, deeds, bonds and wills which are on file over their signatures. These hardy pioneers were accustomed to the beat of drums and the muster captain's call of young men to war. They fought with the Indians and the French, as well as, in the struggle for independence from England. 'James Bullock delivered and paid for supplies to provide the army' [Dept. of Archives and History, Raleigh, N.C. Army accounts Vol. XI. Comptrollers Office, Kingston, U.S. of America, to state of N.C. for Sundries allowed by Comm. of Claims. Appointed by the Provisional Congress, 25 April, 1776. P. 42, folio 2. 784 James Bullock 491 2]. Records show his older sons were also in the Continental Army. "James Bullock's will was signed 6th November 1782. He appointed his two oldest sons, Jeremiah and Joshua, and a friend, William Webb, as executors of his estate. The will was probated in February 1783, in Granville County, North Carolina. The rather large estate was divided between his six sons. The two daughters received two shillings and six pence each! "Heirs mentioned in the will were: 1. Jeremiah 5. Nancy 2. Joshua 6. Samuel 3. Priscilla 7. James, Jr. 4. Charles 8. George "An inventory of the James Bullock estate (not including land) follows: 3 negroes 1 pewter quart 1 pr. cart wheels 5 head horses 9 spoons 1 frow 36 head cattle 1 whip saw 3 augers 11 sheep 1 hand saw 1 chisle 69 hogs 3 iron pots 1 slate 1 still and worm 2 skillets 1 churn 4 beds, furniture 3 plows 1/2 bu. measure 1 desk 1 iron rack 1 wash tub 2 tables 4 knives, forks 1 firkin 1 chest 1 drawing knife 4 chairs 1 rifle gun 2 box irons 1 spice mortar 1 trunk 1 adze 2 combing cards 1 smoth bore gun 2 heaters 1 tea kettle 6 pewter dishes 1 currying knife 1 looking glass 3 pewter basins 2 flax wheels 2 candle sticks 7 pewter plates 2 spinning wheels 2 grubbing hoes 1 pr. shears 1 pr. sheep shears 1 butter pot 2 iron wedges 1 five gal. jug 5 cleviss, bolts 3 reap hooks 4 bells 1 iron chain 1 grind stone 2 kegs 2 sides leather 30 geese 3 earthen plates 4 axes 8 books 3 harrow hoes 5 files 1 frying pan 3 hilling hoes 1 pr. spectacles 25 barrels corn 2 barrels wheat wearing apparel 2 barrels rye 2 barrels oats tobacco at ware house 4 or 5 hundred nails 1/6 pt cross cut saw small amt. cotton "All grain and flax left for use of the family.

James’ plantation was purchased from Thomas Yates, and at the time was on the main road from Harrisburg to Hillsborough, NC. The county was organized in 1746. It was desirable due to the mild climate, rich soil, and comparative quiet of the Catewba Indians. James was a planter and large land holder. He made separate purchases of 271 acres “the land lying on the north side of the Ledge of Rock Creek” plus 200 acres “beginning at George Miller’s corner” (S) DB–M, P53. Court House, Oxford, NC.

Webb etc---this is the only time I have seen W. Charles Bullock, but the signature is the same for his war pension and will etc--just wonder if his name could have been William Charles Bullock (see page 69 in book by Estelle May Bullock Thomas). On March 12, 2009 (Cheryl Parrish Shaw) puts the application for James Haskins on My Family and the application has W. Charles Bullock, JP and Richard Bullock,JP swore to the Statement for Revolutionary Soldier pension for James Hasking dated 11 August 1832. This is the second time I have seen the "W" being used with Charles Bullock's name. On Feb. 5, 1824, Charles Bullock paid one hundred pounds current money of this state to obtain a license to keep an ordinary at his house. Charles Bullock doth constantly find and provide in his said ordinary, good and wholesome diet and lodgings for travellers, and stable, fodder, corn and pasturage for their horses, for and during the term of one year, then this obligation to be void, otherwise to remain in full force. In the notes of the Bullock Family of Maryland and N.C. by Lewis Bullock and found in the Thornton Library, Oxford, N. C. Vol 2, that the Bullocks may have come to N.C. by boat thru Beaufort, N. C. Some of the Bullocks were boatmen on the Potomac River and lived on Bullock Island there. Others write that the Bullocks may have come by wagon and moved to Essex Co, Va. before comming to N. C. Charles Bullock claims to have moved with his parents to Granville County, N. C. when he was 9 years old making the move to be 1768. Charles Bullock has quite a story as a Rev. Soldier from N. C. (Rev. War Years were 1775-1783.) Charles Bullock, Pvt. N. C. Militia $50.00, Annual Allowance. $125.00 Amount received 6/26/1833. Pension started 3/4/1831 and age is 74. This makes him born 1757. State of North Carolina Court of Pleas & Quarter Session, Granville County, 1st. Monday in November A.D. 1832. Charles Bullock personally appeared in open Court before the Justice of the County Court of pleas, a resident of said County aged seventy two or three years who being duly sworn according to law doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress passed June 7th, 1832. This Affiant states that he was born in St. Mary's County in the State of Maryland (abt 1759) (the particular year he don't recollect having lost the record of his age) and at the age of between 8 & 10 yrs he removed (1768) to this county where he has resided up to this time. CHARLES BULLOCK REVOLUTIONARY PENSION CLAIM # S9108 Charles x Bullock was born 1759 in St. Mary's County, Maryland and removed to Granville County, North Carolina about 1768. On August 11, 1832 he applied to the court of the latter County for a Revolutionary pension, application S. 9108. In 1780 he substituted for James Hoskins in the North Carolina Militia under Captain Ralph Banks, Lt. Joseph Blacknall and Ensign Benjamin Moore. They marched to Hillsboro, Salisbury, Charlotte and to Six-Mile Creek where they remained for four weeks. They went to Fifer's Mill to dislodge some British and Tories, but the latter retreated and the Americans returned to Six-Mile Creek and thence to Hillsboro, where they were discharged. Colonel William Moore led this tour of three months, and the troops saw General George Washington and General Nathaniel Greene. He substituted later for John Davis for three months under Captain Parish and marched to Hillsboro, Salem and to the Cheraw Country in South Carolina, near the Congaree and Santee Rivers. He was under command of Colonel Buford at the defeat at Camden, but arrived just after the battle was fought. After four to six weeks at Camden they moved to Ninety-Six for a short stay, then went to Bell's Mills on the Deep River in North Carolina, to Salem and to Hillsboro where they were discharged. Their Colonel was one Palmer of Chatham or Guilford County, North Carolina. He was drafted later under Captain John Henderson of the Horse Troops. Major Pleasant Henderson and Colonel Malmerdy, proceeded to Hillsboro and Ramsey's Mills, and only traveled twelve miles from Guilford Court House at the time of the battle. They camped that evening about half a mile from the battle ground, and then went to Troublesome where Greene had made a stand. A few days later they went to Fayetteville to help move military stores, succeeded in getting them across the river two or three days before the British took the town. The British fired across the river at the American forces but did not try to cross and pursue them. After a few days they marched from Fayetteville to Wake County and were discharged at Isaac Hunter's plantation "now the seat of Goverment in this state". He next substituted for John Bryan under Captain William Hester of Granville County and Colonel Lane of Wake County, went through Averysborough and stopped at Fayetteville for six weeks. Another period of six weeks was spent at Baldhead below Wilmington, where they occupied the north side of the river and the British and Tories occupied the south side. It was here that Captain White of the same Battalion was shot in the forehead by the enemy and killed outright. At the end of three months he was discharged at Fayetteville. The next tour of three months was under Captain Trent of Orange County, North Carolina, a foraging party that went to Salisbury, Charlotte, Camden, Thompson's Fort and then to Eutaw Springs where they took part in the battle 1781. His company guarded prisoners to the barracks at Salisbury, and after several weeks at that place, they went to Guildford Court House and were discharged.

State of North Carolina Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions Granville County 1st Monday November AD 1832 Personally appeared in open Court before the Justices of the County Court of Pleas aforesaid now sitting Charles Bullock a resident of said County aged seventy two or three years, who being duly sworn according to law doth on his Oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress passed June 7th 1832. This affiant states that he was born in St. Mary’s County on the State of Maryland the particular year he don’t recollect having lost the record of his age, and at the age of between 8 & 10 years he moved to this County where he now resides. In the year 1780 he entered the militia service as a substitute for one James Hoskins and was placed under the Command of Capt. Ralph Banks, Sgt. Joseph B___, Ensign Benjamin Moore, and that his Company was marched from that Country by way of Hillsboro, Salisbury, and Charlotte to a place near the South Carolina line to a place called Six-Miles Creek where we remained about four weeks, from whence we marched to Fifers Mill with orders to dislodge a party of British Tories who had taken shelter at that place, but found on our arrival there that they had retreated – we were then marched back to Six-Mile Creek and thence on back to Hillsboro where we received our discharge. This affiant recollects that his Col. Was William Moore and he also recollects to have seen Col. Washington and Gen. Green of the regular army in this tour, which lasted three months. Some time after this (he is unable to recollect how long), this affiant again entered the service as a substitute for one John Davis for three months under one Captain Parish of this County and marched on beginning from this (Granville County) N.C. to the Cheraws (?) Country in the State of South Carolina on the Congare and Santee rivers. It was in this expedition that the Americans under Col. Bluford were defeated and routed at Camden, and although this affiant was not in the engagement he arrived there soon enough after the battle to witness the usual indications of a recent engagement. He remained at Camden about a month or six weeks and thence was marched to a place called Ninety-Six, where we remained a week or ten days, then were marched homeward stopping about a week at a place called Bell’s Mills on Deep River in this state, thence on back through Salem to Hillsboro at which place having finished his tour of three months, this affiant was discharged. This affiant states that his Col. In this was a Col. Palmer of Chatham or Guildford County in this State. He has no recollection of any acquaintance with any regular officers in this town. Some short time after this this affiant was drafted under one Captain John Henderson in a troop of Horse in this County, and placed under the command of Major Pleasant Henderson and Col. Malmondy (?). We were marched on by way of Hillsboro [and] Ramsay’s Mills from which latter place we were turned in the direction of Guilford Courthouse and got within twelve miles of that place when we heard a firing in that direction which we soon ascertained to have been the noted battle at Guilford. In the course of that evening we camped within half a mile of the battleground but the next morning received full information fo the result of the engagement and received orders to march to a place called ____ where Gen. Green had halted and made a stand. In a few days we were ordered to Fayetteville to move away some Military stores which it was feared were in danger of being seized by the British who we had heard were moving in that direction. Some two or three days after we arrived at that place and after we had secured the stores and evacuated the town the British troops arrived and took possession of the town and commenced firing across the river at our troops, but without effect. In a few days we left Fayetteville and marched on to Wake County to one Isaac Hunter’s (now the seat of Government in this State) and were there discharged having finished a tour of three months. This next tour of service this affiant states was as a substitute for one John Bryant of this County, and he served under a Captain Wm. Hester (?) and he thinks his Col. was a gentleman by the name of Lane. From this county we were first marched to A___gsborough thence on to Fayetteville and thence on below Wilmington called Bald-head on the Seaboard some five or six weeks. From this place we were directed to march up the river to watch the movements of the British and Tories who were ravaging the country and making a feint on Wilmington. For some time they and we occupied opposite sides of the river – they on the South side – we on the North. One event this affiant has strongly impressed on his memory. A Captain while belonging to the same battalion with himself in watching an opportunity to get a chance to ___ the enemy was shot down, receiving the ball (?) in his forehead, by one of the enemy and eventually expired. Whence we came on to Fayetteville and there were discharged having completed our tour of three months. This affiant also states that he also served a three-months tour under one Captain Trent (?) of Orange County, principally employed in a foraging party. He first went to Salisbury thence to Charlotte, thence to Camden in So. Caro. Thence on to Thompson’s Fort in that place – thence on to Eutaw Springs in which battle this affiant was. After the battle was over he was employed as one of a Company to guard the prisoners taken in that battle and came on with the prisoners to Salisbury, and after remaining in that place several weeks came on to the Guilford Courthouse at which place he was discharged at the expiration of three months. This affiant furthermore states that he has no documentary evidence of his services or discharge – that he relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present and declares his ___ is not on the pension roll of the agency of any state.

directed from [[Space:Spence Historical References|References in History]] == JOHN WEST And His Red River Mission == :::By Wm. Bertal Heeney, B.A., B.D. ::::Rector, St. Luke's Church, Winnipeg; ::::Honorary Canon, St. John's Cathedral, Winnipeg; ::::Author of Pickanock, A Novel; ::::Editor of "Leaders of The Canadian Church" (First Series) Eastern Canada; and "Leaders of The Canadian Church" (Second Series) Rupert's Land. :::TORONTO :::THE MUSSON BOOK COMPANY LIMITED :::[1920] === FOREWORD === :This is the story of John West simply and briefly told. I had to blaze the path for myself and span the chasms, for strange to say no one has thought it worth his while to tramp this way before me. Perhaps if I had known how misleading are the references to this worthy man, and how scanty the information which may be had concerning him, I, too, might have retrained from making the venture, and so have missed some hours of keen pleasure. :One should set himself in such matters to secure historical accuracy first of all: this is a special obligation on those who write of things Christian. A wrong statement once admitted tends to strengthen and perpetuate itself. I have tried hard to avoid this, but there are many little points which could not be cleared up this side of the water, and a trip to England was impossible. I shall welcome therefore any corrections which the publication of this Sketch may elicit. :I have endeavoured to give West his proper setting, to interpret his personality without striving after effect, and to let the reader feel the spell of his inspiration. After all it is in the impelling power of a great example that its chief value is to be found. I trust that West's example may impel us to West's unfinished task--until the night falls upon our own day, making its labours to cease. :W. B. H. :St. Luke's Study, :St. Patrick's Day, 1920. === CHAPTER I.: THE CALL === :IN the spacious study of Bishop's Court, Winnipeg, there hangs on the wall opposite the Primate's desk the portrait of a young man with a poetic countenance: it is a picture of the Rev. John West, the forerunner of that long line of teachers and preachers who for a hundred years have lived for the spreading of the knowledge of Christ among the races of the great central provinces of Canada. :Mr. West was not a stalwart man, as I should judge--indeed, he lacked every appearance of ruggedness. Nor was he the long-bearded, prophetic-looking missionary so typical of Rupert's Land in after years; on the contrary, he was clean shaven, and wore his heavy brown hair low down upon his forehead and about his ears. His great eyes stood well apart, were light brown in colour, and had plenty of dream and of vision in them. His goodly lips were tightly set, and yet seemed ready for smiling. The chin was broad and protruding, and the jaw unusually long and firm; nevertheless the expression of the face was one of feminine tenderness and spiritual discernment. :It was in Surrey that Mr. West was born, at the little town of Farnham, less than an hour's run from London in these days of fast train service, but a full eight hours' plodding for the horses and stage-coach of a hundred years ago. The place is delightfully located on a hillside to the southward, with the tiny river Wey flowing by down winding lanes of ancient trees and banks rich with many flowers. The country about is pleasant to look upon, having quaint homes, and irregular little fields, with hedgerows and trees of goodly age casting deep shadows. The soil is still rich after generations of tilling, and yields wheat and oats in abundance, and also hops in great wealth and beauty. Hence Farnham has long been a rural centre of importance, holding its weekly market and its autumn fair. :It was in this spot of many natural charms, by the living waters of the Wey, close to the quiet of the open fields, in the peace and beauty of sequestering woods, that John West was born and spent his boyhood days. :But Farnham spoke with other voices than those of nature to the young missionary. At an early date the atmosphere of the place had been coloured by the incoming of the Light of Christ, Indeed, if the settlement did not quite owe its origin to the introduction of the Church, its growth to any degree of size and importance was due to the locating there of the Castle of the Bishop of Winchester. It was also the site of the first Cistercian house in England, Waverley Abbey, the ruins of which may still be seen not far away by the little river's edge, and its pretty name furnishes the title of one of Scott's great novels. Farnham in fact was so much a community under Church influence that it was the Bishop who granted the first charter to the town in 1247, and the privilege of holding a fair on All Saints' Day. Besides, the Pilgrims' Way ran past the place, that historic thoroughfare along which countless travellers from their homes in the south and west of England, and many more who had come over from the Continent of Europe, walked or rode to the shrine of the good St. Thomas at Canterbury. Surely it needs but little imagination to picture young West peopling again this highway of the Saints with a motley crowd like Chaucer's Pilgrims; or playing in and about the impressive ruins of the old Abbey, and picturing to himself the while, just what was the character of its life when inhabited by the strangely clad men, who for zeal of Christ and the Church built it as a place of holy thoughts, deeds and prayers in a land as yet remote, wooded and uncultured. The environment of Farnham was, indeed, such as suited well the boy who should go forth himself one day bearing the torch of Faith to other lands. But there were more potent forces at work in the life of young West, and of a more direct and personal nature. Like many a score of others in his day he came under the spell of the Great Discovery. Both the Wesleys were still living when John West was born; Charles lived on for ten years after, and his great brother for two decades and more. Thus the tide of the great Revival was moving at the full when John West's young mind was opening to life's many voices. Of this revival one of the streams, indeed, pressed far inland and came even to Farnham itself. In the secret of this religious awakening lies also the secret of John West's Red River Mission. It is of some interest and of no small importance, therefore, to ascertain as definitely as we can what that secret was. In this quest nothing is easier than to go aside and get lost on some obvious and inviting by-path. It is futile, for example, to seek the explanation of the movement in the fresh emphasis placed on any specific theological doctrine. This has been done with disastrous results. As a matter of fact the leaders were not men of narrow outlook in any way. Their range of theological interest was much wider than is generally assumed. The hymns of the great singers touch nearly every phase of spiritual experience, and their joy in the ever-returning seasons of the Church's Year is fully attested. It is true that their teacher focused in the Cross and turned upon the Atonement, but not so as to screen the Great Personality of the Gospel. For them, Jesus was not confined to history nor enclosed in the sealed casket of the creeds: He was a living and knowable Presence. This was their Gospel. The origin of the New Life was a new Apocalypse of which the Living One, as of old at Patmos, was the content. In the re-discovery of the Living Christ lies the secret of the great Revival and the origin of the Red River Mission. :It is true that Bishop Butler had prepared the way by striking the arm of Deism with its own intellectual weapon, but its "dead hand" still lay on the weakened body of the Church. Its grip had been broken, but it must also be ejected ere the Church could live again. Such a task was too great for reason alone. The whole man must be aroused. The secret by which the Church was to recover herself was at hand. It lay in the rediscovery of the Great Presence who on the field of history appeared once as the Great Personality. The light of the Incarnation broke again before the eye of a new age and cut like a meteor across the night of deistic theories: men found once more a human-hearted God in the life and death of the human-hearted Christ. Thus were the fountains of the great deep broken up. The life of God poured like a torrent into the old channels of the Church, but finding them clogged with unfaith and worldly lusts rose above the banks, flowed over, and made new courses. There were even Prelates among those who scoffed at the new enthusiasm. Ten years before John West was born a company of men were expelled from his college, St. Edmund's Hall, Oxford, for having too much religion. Nevertheless, there were not wanting in all parts of the country both priests and laymen who welcomed the new life but refused to abandon the old Church whose doctrine accorded so well with their new experience, and whose liturgy had fed their souls in the days of dearth. These valiant souls refused to be frowned or scolded out of their Church. We can never be sufficiently grateful for those churchmen through whose souls the new spiritual current found passage, vitalizing in time the whole body of the Faithful. John West was one of those who made the Great Discovery. In consequence he came to our shores to preach the living Christ and found his Church among the neglected traders and the savage redmen wandering over the spacious pasture-lands of the buffalo. :It would be interesting to have minute knowledge of how the attention of the Hudson's Bay Company was directed to Mr. West, as one fitted for its newly-created chaplaincy, but specific information has not come to hand and one forbears to speculate. The important thing is that the choice was well made, for Mr. West was both highly qualified and ready because he had acquired a definite interest in the native races of North America. It is apparent that he had read widely in missionary literature, and was possessed of specific information concerning the aborigines of this continent and the efforts being put forth on their behalf. Indeed, it was because he saw in the chaplaincy a vantage-ground from which to share in the work of ministering Christ to the neglected Indians, that he was driven to his decision. He was a man of forty-five at the time; the age of pure adventure had therefore gone, and the resolve was on that account exceedingly noble and most lucidly Christian. Moreover, he had about him a home of rare attractiveness--a wife of the highest Christian character, possessing also unusual social and literary gifts, and a family of three children passing through the impressionable and fascinating period of infancy and early school days. It meant leaving them for several years, at best, going on a most perilous journey into the northern ocean, and dwelling in a land where savagery was still unchecked; clearly it might be for more than several years. No human experience is more exalted and more mysterious than his at this moment. The love of Christ both intensified and heightened his human affection, and yet demanded the leaving of those on whom it was so freely bestowed. The decision was made, however, and on the twenty-seventh of May, 1820, this "Called Apostle of Rupert's Land," stood on the deck of the brave little sailing ship Eddystone, waving adieu to everything he held dear in this world. I doubt if any soul was ever moved by the love of Christ more purely. === CHAPTER II: THE COMING === :York Factory must have been a dreary enough spot to eyes familiar with the delights of Surrey. And yet the sight of it brought cheers from the lusty-throated sailors of the Eddystone, and stirred in one bosom at least "sentiments of gratitude to God for his protecting Providence through the perils of the ice and of the sea." :There are two rivers breaking through the coast line at this point and pouring their fresh waters into the great salt bay almost as one stream. The land about York is flat, with a great deal of swamp or muskeg, where only low bushes spring, and mosses abound and mosquitoes generate in savage myriads. The only variation in the surface consists of granite rocks, bare, weather-beaten and sea-worn. The climate is not delightsome even in summer. The days are seldom clear and warm, usually cold winds are blowing off the bay, and frequently they rise to gales which sweep inland with noise and fury. But uninviting as the region is to the eye and feelings of civilized man, the two converging rivers with their countless tributary streams and sustaining lakes, make it the natural meeting-place of hunters from the inland wilds, and of venturesome traders coming in ships from overseas. Consequently the Great Company built a fort there as early as 1681 and named it York. :At the time of Mr. West's arrival, and for long years before and after, York was the principal centre of the Hudson Bay Company's interests in the vast region under their control. :The buildings of the Fort stood about three sides of a square, while along the fourth ran a picket fence, with a gate in the centre, and a walk leading from it to the main structure of the establishment. Outside the fence there was a narrow strip of land where several guns were placed, and beyond this the river Nelson finishing its long and rapid journey to the sea. In the centre of the quadrangle a tall flag-staff was flying the banner of St. George, and near it stood a bell-tower rising high above the buildings and giving forth at stated intervals those clanging tones which regulated the life of this small white community on the edge of the Indian wild. :Here trading and bartering with all its attendant vices had gone on for nearly one hundred and fifty years, yet there was no calling of the people to the worship of God. Surely this was a crime the stain of which neither Church, nor Company, nor Nation can easily expunge. What wonder if that mid-August Sunday of 1820, when "arrangements were made for the attendance of the Company's servants on Divine worship" was at once a day of humility and of rejoicing. At last the wilderness had begun "to blossom as the rose." :Mr. West's plan, however, of working his vast field included more than the holding of Sunday services for the white adults of the Company's many forts. Two other features come at this time into view, and must be seen in their distinctiveness from the outset. One had to do with the children of white men and Indian women; the other with those of purely Indian parentage. The former came within the scope of his duties as chaplain to the Hudson's Bay Company; the latter was a matter of private concern only. On behalf of both these classes Mr. West took immediate action. :As regards the half-breed children he drew up a proposal and submitted it to the Governor of York for his approval. It commended itself to his judgment, and was transmitted at once to the Committee of the Company in London. It advocated a policy of concentration. One hundred of these half-breed children from the scattered forts were to be brought to Red River and there housed and maintained at the Company's expense, and educated under Mr. West's direction. It cannot be said that the authorities of the great trading company had been wholly neglectful of their duty to these unfortunates in days gone by, but not even the least success had come of their well intended efforts. Failure marked them on a variety of accounts. They lacked a well-considered plan for one thing, and often the schoolmaster found it more interesting and more profitable to go fur-trading than to continue in the less fascinating and less remunerative work of teaching school. Moreover the policy of Mr. West involved not only the novel experiment of concentration, but also the equally novel experiment of the boarding school. It also had in it the new element of the specifically religious which fires the imagination and impels by the highest and most enduring of motives. Men might trade for gain in these wild parts, but teaching must needs be rewarded in other coin. :As for the Indian children, matters were somewhat different. They were Mr. West's personal concern to begin with. Any expenditure on them must be supplied from sources other than the funds of the Company. His policy with regard to them, however, was the same, so far as it turned upon their education at a common centre. He looked upon the Indian child as the leader of this wandering race--and his education as the best means of reaching its adult members. There were difficulties in the way, as might be expected. For example, Mr. West had to "establish the principle" that the Indians would be willing to part with their children for this purpose. This issue he put to the test at once and succeeded; for being interviewed on the subject an Indian named Withaweecapo agreed to give over two of his sons to go with the missionary to his destination on the Red River. :Two happy and hopeful weeks, not wanting, however, in lonely moments, thus spent at York brought in the early days of September with its brilliant autumn tints on trees and shrubs, its starry nights, and its mornings of sparkling frost. The long, tedious journey to the Red River had to be resumed, therefore, without delay. So the last letters are written to the dear ones in England: a canoe is selected and canoemen chosen of ripe experience for the missionary; the tents, blankets and provisions are made ready; the morning dawns and clears; the canoemen are at their posts; Mr. West, accompanied by Governor Williams, comes down to the water's edge; With-aweecapo arrives with his eldest boy in his arms and delivers the little fellow to the missionary with a display of much affection; the two wives of Withaweecapo (who are sisters) stand on the bank weeping and gazing through their tears in fond hope as the little chap and the servant of Christ step into the canoe; a stroke or two of skilful paddles, a final waving of au revoir, and the frail craft is pressing its bow against the stream; they are off. The redemption of the noble redman has begun. :The distance to be covered was quite eight hundred miles; up swift streams for the most part, with rapids and falls in distressing number, and over lakes of limpid water till count and memory of them are lost. The route lay past Norway House, an inland post of considerable importance belonging to the Company. Here Mr. West secured another lad to go with him and little Withaweecapo to the Red River. :From this point onward the character of the journey was very different. The region of rivers and small lakes was passed, and a most perilous voyage lay ahead. The remaining three hundred miles was one vast lake, and after it but a short stretch of slow-moving river. Nor is Winnipeg a peaceful lake, for it abounds in shallows, and the winds easily lift the waves mountains high. Mr. West's canoe was therefore abandoned at Norway House, and with his fellow travellers in the Company's affairs he and his boys took to York boats. Not large craft these, by any means, but capable of carrying a considerable load; and while usually propelled by rowing, yet in moderate weather, and with skilled management, may be driven forward without danger, under press of sail. Once when the distance was half covered Mr. West's boat carried him well nigh to misfortune. In a lively breeze it struck with shocking impact upon a sunken rock. For a moment it seemed that all was lost, but prompt action and a kind Providence put things right again, and sent Mr. West once more to blessing God for His mercy. :At sunset of every day the boats were drawn up and the night spent on the rugged, woody shores, where tents were pitched, and fires lighted to cook the evening meal and to ward off the damp and the falling frost. One evening as Mr. West sat in his tent door before a little fire, an Indian came forward and spoke to him a word or. two in English, explaining that he knew of Jesus Christ, and desired to learn more of Him. This simple incident provides a picture which stirs the imagination and which suggests all the essentials of this man's great undertaking. It reveals the soul of John West, mirrored in whose depths, as in a lucid spring, we behold the living Christ and the neglected Indian: to bring them together--to let them speak and know each other--Surrey and his family were far away and he alone on the shores of this wild inland sea. :When a week of this travelling was nearly over the south shore of Lake Winnipeg came in view at dawn--a long, low, curving line on the waters against the brightening sky. Presently the sun rose "in majestic splendour over the lake," and the boats entered the mouth of the Red River. About them were far-extending marshes wearing the deep green and russet brown of autumn. Flocks of wild fowl rose with whirring wings into the morning light and made off through the cool air to quiet spots among the long marsh grasses. :A little way up the slow, muddy stream (such a contrast to the clear waters of the lake and of the swift-running Nelson) the rowers pulled their boats ashore and breakfasted at Netley Creek. [Since known as the Indian Settlement, now St. Peter's.] Here was an Indian encampment--and the headquarters of an Indian chieftain named Pegowis, who also breakfasted with them. Years after, when Mr. West had gone away from the Red River, Pegowis found the significance of his coming that morning--and he led his tribe out of darkness into the Light of Christ. Meantime, with that native courtesy which is characteristic of the true Indian, he spoke these beautiful words of welcome to the missionary: "I wish that more of the stumps and brushwood were cleared away for your feet on coming to see my country." :After the early morning meal, the canoe was soon on its way again pressing its bow steadily up the soft flowing waters of the Red River. The following night was spent somewhere on the route possibly just after passing the Grand Rapids. [Now St. Andrew's.] The next morning began the last stage of the long voyage. It was a pleasant paddle, for the missionary felt his spirits rise as he neared his destination and his work. The wide and dangerous lake was now passed, and the river with its near-by shores had the look of friendliness. Further, its windings and wooded points and heightening banks lent an air of mystery which kept the traveller ever on the alert for some new disclosure of interest; now the banks were high and the voyagers felt themselves dropped into a canal of running water; next the rapids dashing over a ledge of limestone and rushing into the narrow channel below, broke the stillness; here was a cluster of ragged teepees--there a little whitewashed log cottage, and yonder a lime-kiln all but lost to sight in the muddy bank. For the most part the shores were forested with oak, elm, ash and poplar, and even a specie of maple. Some trees were already in the nakedness of autumn, others had lingering yellow leaves, flashing in the sun and reflecting themselves in the quiet of the river. At times a break came among the trees and the eye wandered on grey plains illimitable. So voyaging to the land of his vision and his high hopes, Mr. West's canoe turned one last bend in the river about fifty miles from where he entered it, and there on the right he beheld high upon the muddy bank, the wooden palisade of Fort Douglas. Watch a moment this arrival and disembarking! You see stepping ashore the first ordained preacher of the unfettered Gospel beyond the Red River; and there are the boys who have come with him from York and Norway, the first of the Indian children to pray, "Great Father, bless me, through Jesus Christ," and destined to become heralds of the Faith to their fellow dwellers in the long night of paganism and wretchedness. :Gaze long and earnestly on this little company following the grey pathway up the corroded bank of the Red River into the slanting sunbeams and disappearing through the palisade into Fort Douglas, for no event of equal significance is recorded in the early life-history of our Great North-West. === CHAPTER III: THE FIELD AND THE WORK === :Fort Douglas consisted of a little group of wooden buildings with a palisade of pointed oak logs standing round about them. The river is wider here than usual and bends abruptly. The Fort stood in the angle of the bend affording an extended view both up and down the stream. Moreover the western bank on which it was situated is of considerable elevation, thus giving a clear range of vision across the water, over the low bank beyond, and away to the eastward. In a westerly direction there was nothing at the moment, but an Autumn grass plain and the going down of the sun. Fort Douglas was not by any means one of the oldest posts of the Company, nor was it classed among the most important for trade; nevertheless it was the heart of what life there was in the region of the Red River when John West came. It was the residence of the Chargé d'Affaires, and the place where stores were kept and furs traded for them. The mail boats came thither from Montreal bearing the slow travelling news of the world then so remote; the fur canoes paddled to it from Brandon House and Qu'Appelle on the rapidly flowing Assiniboine, drew up, unloaded and loaded again by its water's edge. :In days not long prior to Mr. West's arrival Fort Douglas was an object of desire on the part of envious rivals in the fur trade, and the scene also of daring escapade and of tragedy. From it one day a few men went out, proceeded along the west bank of the Red River three quarters of a mile, till they stood beneath the palisade of Fort Gibraltar, at the junction of the two rivers; when they returned they had drawn the sting of their deadly rival, the North-West Company bringing back the enemy's guns in triumph to Fort Douglas. One day in June, 1815, Governor Semple was looking out of the watch tower and saw the Metis coming. He went forth with a few men to meet them, and to meet his death as well. After this unhappy event Fort Douglas passed for a time into the hands of the ill-advised champions of the North-West Company. It happened also that one night not long after this that daring men were making scaling ladders in the woods by the Assiniboine near St. James'. In a blinding snowstorm and in the dead of night they carried them to Fort Douglas, scaled its walls and took and kept the prize for its rightful owners. :Around this interesting centre there were scattered dwellings of rough structure; huts, Mr. West designates them, with his old-world memories still fresh. "In vain did I look," he remarks, with an air of depression, "for a cluster of cottages, where the hum of a small population at least might be heard as in a village." And along the margin of the river, both down and up and beyond it as well, he who walked abroad that October evening beheld the same unattractive and uninviting houses where men and their families dwelt. At the meeting of the rivers (to the north of the Assiniboine) stood the fort of the North-West Company. Across the Red River was to be seen the outline of an unfinished Roman Church, with a small house adjoining for the priest. For the most part, however, there was only the piteous teepee of the Indian and the open sweep of the prairie. :There was a considerable variety of races among the sparse population, and many degrees of difference in intelligence and in the still higher things of the ethical and spiritual life. :First may be mentioned the active officers of the Hudson's Bay Company, often men of great ability and not wholly ignorant of the social customs of the Old Land. And then the Red River was the favorite resort for the retired servants of the great Company. It was a matter of considerable pride to have been identified with its interests, and in the evening of men's lives something of its prestige still clung to them. :Next in importance were Lord Selkirk's Highland men, recent comers, making trial of the soil and the climate for the support of a settled population. They excelled in determination, and their patient endurance was heroic. :The only other elements of importance in the white population were some French-Canadians, descendants of the venturesome sons of the old province of Quebec, who from the days of La Verendrye explored the forest and the treeless plains of the west, and have left enduring memories in names which still adhere to many places. :Another class which Mr. West notes was German in origin. Its locality lay just beyond the Red River, where a little muddy stream furrows its way through the rich clay soil. The De Meuron soldiers whom Lord Selkirk had brought with him from Eastern Canada in the troublesome days of 1817 were given land along its banks when their services were no longer required. They were placed thus near Fort Douglas, which they had captured from the North-West Company, that they might still keep watch over its interests and protect it in case of need. :At a later date came in some Swiss immigrants, artisans for the most part who helped to give variety and romance to the colony during their short residence in the place. :The community was, therefore, quite cosmopolitan a hundred years ago, as it is to-day. And here in the valley of the Red River, each coming in through its own gateway, we see in particular the meeting of the two races, which from the earliest days have given colour to the history of Canada and have contended for the mastery of her destiny. Here also the two historic churches meet again to vie with each other for the possession of the field, and yet we trust to serve in common the larger issue of Christ and the people's weal. :Social conditions at the time of Mr. West's coming were in many ways as bad as they could be throughout the territory of the great trading Company. It is not to be wondered at, that such was the case. :The background is dark--it is the savage life, not without its nobler elements indeed, but lacking the power if not the will to give freedom and control. The cruel man, the suffering woman, the neglected child, was everywhere. The Indians did not cultivate the soil, though it was exceedingly rich and vast in extent. Consequently they had neither settled abode nor substantial dwellings, nor regular and abundant supply of food. Hunting was the only source of physical existence, hence they must needs wander, suffer cold, go hungry, and even starve to death. Warfare on the slightest provocation aggravated the suffering of the weaker ones among them as much as it delighted the young fighting men. Vengeance was the reigning law and scalping the typical treatment meted out to captured enemies. :Until the arrival of Mr. West the Indians were untouched by the finer elements of our civilization. It is difficult to write with restraint of this long neglect and its consequences in multiplying the sorrows of the women and children of this race. Heretofore civilization not only withheld the touch of its soothing hand and the dynamic of its redemptive force, but it scarred the body afresh and poured in vials of moral disease. The rum-keg was the currency of the region, for which the Indians parted with the meagre results of their chase and with their young women as well. It is shocking to think that the gentlemen adventurers of the Hudson's Bay and their families in the old land, members of the Christian Church no doubt, could live for many decades in full enjoyment of the profits of trade with the natives roving on the bleak shores of our arctic seas and the Christless plains of the Canadian West, and yet give no heed to the Indian's cry for the Bread of Life. It is no wonder Mr. West burned in his indignation and cried out, "My soul is with the Indians." :Marriage was ignored on the part of many of the white employees of the Hudson's Bay Company; in fact it was impossible. Hence it is not to be wondered at that European men lived freely with Indian women. "When a female is taken by them, she is obtained from the lodge as an inmate of the Fort, for the prime of her days generally." The woman was frequently deserted when years were creeping on, or when her white husband moved to another scene of occupation. No course was then open to her but to form if possible another temporary alliance or return to her tribe, while her half-breed children were left in utmost neglect of body, mind, and soul. :It is also significant that "there was no criminal jurisdiction established within the territories of the Hudson's Bay Company." An offender had not much to fear; if evidence against him was beyond question, he might be sent to Montreal or London for trial--a poor deterrent against crime. The result was many serious offences every year, and "Europeans falling to savage levels and even lower." :Nor was there any adequate military protection. The scattered community on the Red River was left pretty much to its own resources. The Company's fort made a show of defence with its stockade, its lookout, and a few old guns. Nevertheless there was constant danger of Indian raids, and more than once we find Mr. West prominent among those who are consulting together on the stirring question of how best to meet probable attack. :Such were the circumstances of human life on the Red River, when the transforming truth of the Gospel was introduced. :The centre of Mr. West's operations was Fort Douglas. The long voyage from England had come to an end here on Saturday afternoon, October 14th. The following day in one of the rooms of the Fort the "servants of the Company were assembled for Divine worship." This was the beginning of those regular Christian services, which, thank God, have ever since risen in prayer and praise from the people of this land. It is not to be wondered at that tears flowed down the cheeks of strong men on hearing in this wilderness the once familiar services of the Church of their mother land. This rectangular Fort on the river bank, set about with its palisade of pointed oak logs, was the only Church west of the Red River for many months, and the spot on which it stood should ever be dear to the hearts of Churchmen. :There were other interests, however, requiring prompt attention. Mr. West had brought with him a schoolmaster, Mr. George Harbidge, who had been educated at Christ's Hospital and apprenticed to Bridewell. Like Mr. West he was an employee of the Hudson's Bay Company. A log house, some distance down the river, was at once secured and the work of repairing and altering it put under way to make it suit the requirements of the school and serve as temporary abode for the teacher. In a short time it was ready. Within two or three weeks at the most, after his arrival, Mr. Harbidge "began teaching from twenty to thirty children." In this simple way another fundamental work was started by the Christian Church for redeeming the life of the people. Mr. West's own residence was removed, after two months or so, from Fort Douglas to "the farm, belonging to the late Earl of Selkirk," some three miles distant. This he made his dwelling place, and to it he ever returned from his long trips during the years of his sojourn in the land. :But however comfortable and otherwise satisfactory each of these centres might be in itself, the plan as a whole lacked unity. Mr. West was not slow to appreciate this inherent disadvantage and set himself resolutely "to erect in a central situation a substantial building, which should contain apartments for the schoolmaster, afford accommodation for Indian children, be a day school for the children of the Settlers, enable us to establish a Sunday school for the half-caste population--and fully answer the purpose of a church for the present." The spot selected was a mile or more north of Fort Douglas on the bank of the Red River, where a small stream flowed into it from the westward, under heavy elm trees and twisted willows. [St. John's Cathedral is near, not on, the spot; and the brook is filled up save for a bit of gully where it entered the river. A rustic bridge spans the gully, and the trees still grow strong thereabout.] :But if the centre of Mr. West's work was Fort Douglas his field of operation was wide--as vast indeed as the land itself over which the Company's trading posts were scattered. On his incoming journey he had spent some time at York and called at Norway House. After three months on the Red River the time had come to cross the winter prairie to Brandon House and Qu'Appelle on the Assiniboine, to the westward. His record of this trip is rich in picturesque detail of the country as it then was. He travelled in a cariole drawn by three wolf dogs, slept well under the open sky and the cold stars, had his nose bitten by the north wind, saw herds of buffalo, just escaped bands of savage Indians, witnessed the "staging of a corpse" at Brandon House, and looked with horror on bacchanalian revelries of drunken savages at Beaver Creek. At both the posts he called the Company's servants to divine worship, instructed them diligently during his stay, and before leaving brought order and sanctity into their social life by the ministering of the sacred rites of baptism and marriage. :Another journey of his taken in the early spring time of that year is likewise marked by some informing incidents. His destination was Pembina, where was Fort Daer, famous as the place of refuge for the Selkirk colonists on more than one of their evil days. The purpose of his going thither was to attend a meeting of the principal inhabitants of the Red River region called to discuss ways and means of defending the Settlement in case of attack by the Sioux Indians. :During the previous summer they had scalped a boy not far from the Settlement, and left a painted stick upon the mangled body, which was taken to indicate their determination to return. During his stay at Fort Daer he "went out with some hunters on the plains and saw them kill the buffalo," riding his own horse full speed into the midst of a herd of forty or fifty, then on their spring migration to the south. On the Sunday which fell within his visit he preached at the Fort, and while he was listened to with attention he became depressed in spirit over the spectacle of "human depravity and barbarism" which he was called to witness. In all this the man is revealed no less clearly than the country in which he chose to dwell for the love of Christ and wretched human beings. :When the spring time of his first year had fully come, we see his resolve to have suitable quarters forcing itself to realization. "I have twelve men," he writes, "employed in building the school-house." And we can appreciate his joy in these visible tokens of his work when in the approaching autumn of that year he writes thus: "I often view the building with lively interest as a landmark of Christianity, in a vast wilderness of heathenism." The work went on slowly, however, owing no doubt in part to Mr. West's absence during the summer at York Factory. On the voyage he had the good fortune to fall in with Mr. Nicholas Garry, a director of the Hudson's Bay Company, and a gentleman of fine character. It was the year of the great Amalgamation, and Mr. Garry was travelling through the region for the purpose of clearing up the details of this exceedingly important agreement. :The chaplain and the director met at Norway House, a post of the Company on the Nelson River, where it widens into the beautiful waters of Play-green Lake. They continued their voyage together down the river, and much came of the intercourse which the trip afforded. Mr. Garry became fired with Mr. West's enthusiasm for the mission at Red River and for his plans concerning it. At York they formed a branch of the British and Foreign Bible Society, the first in North-West America. And in consequence many copies of the Scripture in various languages were sent to the Company's posts and circulated among the people around them. Moreover, when they parted, Mr. West for the canoe, the rough fare and the tedious upstream journey to Red River, and Mr. Garry for the sailing ship, and the great ocean and the homeland, a new and fuller life had been resolved upon for the redemption of the races of the long neglected trading lands. :When Mr. West returned from York he found the mission building far from ready, and the winter near at hand to put an end to further effort. In the spring of the following year work was resumed, but in the meantime new quarters were secured for the schoolmaster and the Indian boys. Fort Garry was then nearly finished. It came into existence as a result of the amalgamation of the two great trading companies, and was intended to fill the place of both the original posts of Fort Douglas and Fort Gibraltar. At this time a room was also secured in the new fort to serve as a church until Mr. West's building project should have come to maturity. :The new structure by the river and the brook went on steadily rising throughout the summer and was joyously opened for Divine worship in the early autumn. In the beginning of October, 1822, Mr. West was able to write, "There are six boys, two girls, and a half-breed woman (named Agathus) to take care of the children upon the establishment." :The chaplaincy at the Red River had thus got nicely under way. But when it had run well nigh eighteen months of its course purely as an undertaking of the Hudson's Bay Company on behalf of its own employees, a notable change took place. It passed under the direction of the Church Missionary Society and enlarged its outlook so as to include the native races and make their evangelization a matter of no secondary concern. :The new arrangement was quickly effected in the end, but forces had been at work long previous to the actual transfer of management. Of these Mr. West himself was chief. He was an active member of the Society at the time of his appointment to the chaplaincy. He it was who first drew the attention of the Church Missionary Society to the Indian races wandering on the plains of British America, east of the Rocky Mountains. This he did just prior to his leaving for the Red River in 1820. The Committee was impressed at the time with the strength and character of Mr. West's appeal, but its commitments were already great and its eyes turned towards Africa and the East; it could not therefore embark upon such a mission for the moment. Nevertheless the door was not barred and bolted. Mr. West's "very judicious paper" was kept for reference, and the sum of one hundred pounds granted to enable him to make trial of what could be done for the natives who lay outside his immediate sphere of duty as chaplain. Having reached York and the Red River and seen the Indians in their wretchedness, his appeals to the Society spoke with fresh authority and burned with intense fervency--they were irresistible. But he brought other forces to bear on the situation as well. Influential men whom he chanced to meet at Red River or about the Bay caught his own inspiration. Chief of these was Mr. Nicholas Garry. Mr. Benjamin Harrison also, who, like Mr. Garry was a director of the Hudson's Bay Company, became fired with John West's zeal for the poor Indians. The outcome of Mr. West's zealous communications to the Society and the visits of his emissaries was a special meeting of the Committee probably in the autumn of 1821, at which the Church Missionary Society enthusiastically committed itself to the mighty work of evangelizing the hitherto neglected Indian races of North-West Canada. Mr. West, by the grace of God, had won a signal triumph. Who can tell of all it has meant for poor humanity! :The leading features of the new arrangement are important in detail as in principle. According to it Mr. West would continue chaplain to the Hudson's Bay Company as in the past, but in addition would act for the Church Missionary Society as Superintendent of the Missionary Establishment. Another clergyman was to be sent out at the expense of the Society to work under Mr. West's direction but within the Society's special field of operation. Mr. George Harbidge, the schoolmaster, now became an employee of the Society and was placed in charge of the school. The buildings were to be enlarged and the number of Indian children limited for the present to fifteen boys and an equal number of girls. Other children were to be taken at the expense of their parents or guardians. :This change became effective on October 1st, 1822, and in the spring of the next year, when Mr. West was leaving the Red River, it was an institution of no small importance in itself, considering the community; and moreover it was destined to become the germinating plot of much that is best in the subsequent life of Western Canada. It was the residence of the schoolmaster Mr. Harbidge, now happily married, and assisted by his young wife, in the work of teaching. It was the home of the Indian boys and girls under the motherly care of Agathus. It was likewise the day school for the children of the Hudson's Bay Company's officers and servants, and for those of the Settlers also. On Sunday mornings the congregation numbered at times one hundred and thirty, and' in the afternoon boys and girls and adults as well assembled there for instruction in the precious truths of Christ. The Depository of the Auxiliary Bible Society, founded at York Factory by Mr. West and Nicholas Garry in 1821, was now lodged in the Church Mission House, and from it the Word of God was freely distributed in twelve languages. :Nor have we yet exhausted the activities of this little Mission Station on the banks of the Red River. It had its agricultural interests with plots of ground for the native children, in which they greatly delighted. It had also a farm with Mr. Samuel West in charge for the supplying of the inmates with the fruits of the earth; and even an Esau resided there, a mighty hunter, to kill and bring home the products of the chase for hungry little natives and their white teachers. In a tower recently added to this building of many functions, a bell rang out to call the dwellers in the land to Divine worship. :Mr. West records his feelings of delight at the situation in the following words, written shortly before his leaving the Red River: "As I was returning from visiting some of the settlers about nine or ten miles below, one evening, the lengthened shadows of the setting sun cast upon the buildings, and the consideration that there was now a landmark of Christianity in this wild waste, and an asylum opened for the instruction and maintenance of Indian children, raised the most agreeable sensations in my mind, and led me into a train of thought which awakened a hope, that, in the Divine compassion of the Saviour, it might be the means of raising a spiritual temple in this wilderness to the honour of His name. In the present state of the people, I consider it no small point gained to have formed a religious establishment. The outward walls, even, and the spire of the church, cannot fail of having some effect on the minds of a wandering people, and of the population of the Settlement." :The closing scene of Mr. West's life at Red River, and his leave taking, after well nigh three years, is best told in his own touching words: "On the 10th of June I addressed a congregation, in a farewell discourse, from the pulpit previous to my leaving the colony for the Factory; and having administered the Sacrament to those who joined cordially with me in prayer, that the missionary who was on his way to officiate in my absence, might be tenfold, yea, a hundred-fold, more blessed in his ministry than I had been, I parted with those upon the church mission establishment with tears. It had been a long and anxious and arduous scene of labour to me, and my hope was, as about to embark for England, that I might return to the Settlement, and be the means of effecting a better order of things. :"The weather-was favourable on the morning of our departure; and stepping into the boat the current soon bore us down the river towards Lake Winnipeg. As the spire of the church receded from my view, and we passed several of the houses of the settlers, they hailed me with cordial wishes for a safe voyage, and expressed a hope of better times for the colony. Then it was that my heart renewed its supplications to that God,--'who is ever present, ever felt, In the void waste, as in the city full,' for the welfare of the Settlement, as affording a resting place for numbers, after the toils of the wilderness in the Company's service, where they might dwell, through the Divine blessing in the broad day-light of Christianity." Having reached York, Mr. West stretched out his hands in the name of his compassionate Master to another race, the unshepherded Esquimaux of the West coast of Hudson's Bay. His concern for this people had been aroused on meeting some of them during his incoming voyage through the Straits. But a great name is forever associated with Mr. West's own in this undertaking to carry the Gospel to these stern defiers of the icy North--that of Sir John Franklin. On a previous visit to York the two had met. A hero each, in his own sphere, their souls were akin, nor were they diverse in their love for humanity, nor in their belief that it is ever the highest kindness to give men the redeeming vision. The time had come for Mr. West to take the journey, and Captain Franklin was ready with advice concerning the way, even as at an earlier date he gladly went as his friend's deputy to plead the cause of the Esquimaux before the Society in London. Space forbids my relating the stirring incidents of this tramp overland from York to Churchill. It must suffice to say that the distance alone was not of least account. There was no open trail over this two hundred miles of sea coast. Moreover the ground was swampy, brushwood entangled the feet, water lay ankle and often knee deep, and mosquitoes in their myriads set upon the traveller by night and day and drove even the beasts of the forest to seek refuge in the sea waters. After several days provisions failed entirely, and there was left them only the chance dinners afforded by unwary creatures of the woods. At length his goal was reached. The spirit of Mr. West never burns more brightly than at this time, nor are the qualities of his character ever seen in finer colors. On the eve of his sailing for home, he might have shrunk from so hazardous a journey. Were not wife and children whom he had not seen for three years awaiting him with heavy yet hopeful hearts! Why endanger to so great a degree the fulfilment of their longing and his own! Or had he wanted excuse, he might well have pleaded the endurances and achievements of his years at the Red River and there about. Not so John West! For there was in him a noble abandonment to Christ, hence the call of the Esquimaux went to his soul like the cry of a lost child. And we see again that self-surrender and that self-sacrifice which imply strength of confidence in the Living One. Consequently there is not a trace of murmuring or delay, but on the contrary a prompt setting forth, a resolute endurance of stern conditions, and even a joyful gratitude to God for the privilege of visiting the wild inhabitants of the rocks, with the simple design of extending the Redeemer's Kingdom among them. :The servants and officers of the Company were assembled for Divine worship; the Esquimaux "surrounded him in groups"; he spoke to them through an interpreter, Augustus, formerly of Franklin's expedition into the far North, and they gave him in response an appeal which must never grow faint in the ears of churchmen--"We want to know the Grand God." :But another result blessed this journey of Christ's servant--two little boys were entrusted to him for his establishment at the Red River. With these as first fruits of a race brought out of darkness by that true saint of the Northland, Dr. Peck, and others, he set out on his return to York, covering the distance in seven days. On his arrival, to his unmixed delight he found that God had sent forth his expected assistant in the person of the Rev. David Jones. To his keeping he gave over the two Indian boys, and after a few days' prayerful conference on the affairs of the Mission, the men of God parted and Mr. West sailed away from a land in which his name will always be held in grateful memory by those who have eyes to see that the forces which came in with him and with such as he are those which redeem and glorify life, and guarantee the progress, the kindness and the permanence of civilization. :It is difficult to form a just estimate of a fellow man, and still more to set him forth in cold words, for personality is so shy, so elusive, so much a thing of life and therefore of mystery. Through acts (and thoughts are acts for our purpose, yea and feelings and aspirations as well) the real man, the distinctive thing in him, presses its way to recognition and lives in what endures of his earthly task. What John West was, therefore, we may see in what he undertook that other men left untouched. I have no desire to make him out a great man, and it is not needful to add that he was no common man: the little story now told is witness enough of this. Men's lives are made perhaps not more by the qualities born with them than by the forces which surround them after birth. West was fortunate in both, yet more fortunate still in this: he chose well the powers which should come in, have place and rule. First of these was He whose life shows Him to have been first of men, and of whom experience proves His claim to be the Living Lord. :It was Mr. West's fixed purpose to return shortly to Red River and to bring his family with him, but in the providence of God his life was not so ordered. On the contrary he was induced by the New England Company to go on a tour of inspection to the Indian Settlements in the Maritime Provinces and Upper Canada. But this is another story, and a very worthy one, to be told some day, and found, let us hope, another thread of gold binding Canada East and West together in the firm resolve to see full justice done by a great young country to a highly gifted and noble race, from whom it has inherited a land so rich and vast. :This mission ended, Mr. West returned and spent his remaining years in his native land, becoming rector of the parish about which his childhood memories clustered. The important living of Farnham was conferred upon him by the Lord Chancellor in 1834, and on the same "occasion he was appointed chaplain to the Earl of Bess-borough, then Viscount Duncannon." :The appeal of the "wanderer," however, continued strong upon him, and to his normal duties of parish priest he added during "the latter years of his life the work of promoting the establishment of a school for the education of the children of Gipsies." The site chosen was midway between the two churches of Chettle and Farnham. The corner-stone was laid by a converted gypsy of great age. Mr. West, however, was not to see the completion of the structure from which he had hoped to witness so much good flowing out to the objects of his compassion. The work was still in progress when he came suddenly to an end of his earthly career during the happy Christmas season of 1845. :The pretty little church of Chettle is only a mile from Farnham, and was a portion of his parish. Here John West lies buried, and a window stands in the chancel to his memory. His enduring memorial, however, is of another kind and in another land--even the growing temple of the living God--in the mighty provinces of Western Canada. == [[Space:West Collection|Reverend John West’s Collection: Much to Celebrate]] == == [[Space:The Rev John West|THE REV JOHN WEST—First Anglican Minister in the North West]] ==

'''PURPOSE''': The purpose of this page is to document information relevant to [Wheeler-1667], John Wheeler, his marriage, children and some descendants. Sources for basic information will be included. Disputed information not included in his profile, is included here, with any sources. John Wheeler was born in 1630 in England, immigrated in 1651, probably to Virginia, then to Maryland by 1662. He died in Charles, Maryland, probably soon after November 11,1693 when his will was written, and before January 8, 1694 when it was probated. :From The Genealogical...History of the Wheeler Family... Albert G. Wheeler, Editor. :''"He is the only original ancestor of the Maryland branch of the family of whom anything is known definitely. The time of his immigration and the place in Virginia to which he immigrated are matters of conjecture. The Maryland Archives shows that John Wheeler "denizated" in Maryland in the year 1662."

Smith Hoke :MAJOR JOHN WILLIAM WHEELER, was born January 22, 1630/31 in Wiltshire/ Bedfordshire, England, and died November 11, 1693 in Charles Co, MD. He wed MARY CAUSINE January 02, 1650/51 in St. Marys Co, MD. She was born March 09, 1630/31 in Charles Co, MD, and died January 09, 1693/94 in Charles Co, MD. :1607-The first encounter between European settlers and Native Americans. Capt. John Smith discovered Moysenec, a settlement of the Chickahominy Tribe that is now listed in the National Register of Historic Places and is an important archeological site. :1631-John Wheeler was born in England. In a deposition made, 1/22/1652 , he gave his age as 21 years. In another, 10/22/1691, he gave his age as 61 years. :1644-The history of New Kent County begins long before the county was settled in 1644 and incorporated a decade later. The region was a thriving confederacy of Indian tribes ruled over by Chief Powhatan and later by his brother, Opechannough. A series of encounters followed, some peaceful and some violent. A peace treaty was signed in 1644, but not before countless battles occurred and two Indian massacres in 1622 and 1644 left hundreds of settlers dead. New Kent County has a history of survival and determination, from the followers of Nathaniel Bacon who rebelled against the English in the town of Brickhouse, to the soldiers who marched to battle on New Kent's roads. :1654-New Kent County was formed from York and parts of James City counties. The county is located between Richmond and Williamsburg, VA. New Kent County, was named either for the English county of Kent or for Kent Island, in the upper waters of the Chesapeake Bay. William Claiborne, a native of Kent who had been driven from Kent Island by Lord Baltimore, was a prominent resident of the New Kent area when the county was formed. (Source: "The Hornbook of Virginia History") Blisland Parish 1654, also James City County. :1655-Stratton Major 1655-1691, afterward King and Queen County. :1657- Maryland Land Records: "Robert Cole demandeth 450 of land for the servants, Robert Gates 1655, John Johnson, Mary Miles and Joseph Alvey, by special warrant from his Lordship 100 acres and 100 more by assignment from John Wheeler. :1659-He was transported to America on the ship, Richard owned by Richard Major. :Richard Major, was granted 350 acres in New Kent Co, VA, April 29, 1659, p. 266 (367), for transporting seven persons to America. The land was on the N. side of Yorke River. The persons transported were Jone (John) Cooke, John Wheler (Wheeler), Jno. (John) Drumon (Drummond), Mary Rigby, Mary Butler, Thomas Goldsmith, and Mary Harris (Morris). It was customary to give a ship's captain 50 acres for each new immigrant he brought to America. Renewed Feb 9, 1663. :Emigration: 1659, Came from England to VA, on same boat as John Drummond, ship called 'Richard'. :Military service: 1676, commissioned Captain of Militia :Military service #2: Bet. 1680 - 1684, Major of the Infantry of Charles Co, Province of MD :Religion: Roman Catholic :Served: 1685, Justice of Charles Co. and served as Commissioner of Port towns :There is no proof that John Wheeler is a direct ancestor but the fact that John Drummond was on the same ship would lend one to the belief that the Drummond name originated from the marriage of a male Wheeler descendant and a female Drummond descendant. The Drummond name appears many generation of Wheelers. It is an unusual Christian name. Drummond could also be the the maiden name of a Wheeler's wife. There are records on a Drummond Wheeler and his descendants who were born in VA and lived in TN and MS. John Wheeler and John Drummond were probably Cavaliers from England. A Cavalier was one who had become discouraged with the British Government and was awaiting the restoration of Charles II to the British throne. Charles II lost control over disputes between the Catholics and Anglicans. :1663-The Wheeler family goes back to the early history of Maryland where John Wheeler obtained a patent on July 10, 1663 for 4000 acres of land, known as "Wheeler's Choice", in Charles Co. For his services as Captain, he was at one time granted 2000 lbs. of Tobacco. :1670-Son, William Wheeler was born in VA, but some have him being born in 1658 in MD. :1674-St Stephen's Parish before 1674-1691, afterward King and Queen County. :1679-St Peter's Parish :1680-St John's 1680-1691 (afterwards, King and Queen then King William) :1691-New Kent became county seat. New Kent County, was formed in 1654 and reduced in size in 1691, with the formation of King and Queen County. (Source: "Virginia, A Guide to the Old Dominion") :1693-He made his Will in Charles Co, MD on 11/11/1693. Burial: November 1693 :1694-His Will was proved on 1/8/1694 in Charles Co, MD. In it he mentions property, "Planter's Delight", Mayor's Choice", "Middleton's Lot", "Wheeler's Purchase", and "Wheeler's Delight." At Charles Co, MD, August court, Mary Wheeler is named as his widow. His children are named in the Charles Co. Land Records. :1701-St Peter's Church built. George and Martha Washington frequently attended service there, as the home of one of the oldest congregations in VA. Rev. David Mossom, the pastor who baptized Martha and presided over both of her weddings, is buried in the northeast corner of the church's interior.

This is the date his Will was probated. :1738-Son, William Wheeler{{citation needed}} :1787-The Colonial Records of New Kent County were destroyed by a fire, which was set by John Price Posey, for which he was hung. It was the greatest loss suffered because the early records of many counties were in the New Kent Clerk's Office. Lost were King and Queen, 1654-1691; King William County, 1654-1702; Hanover County, 1654-1728; Louisa County, 1654 to 1728; and part of Caroline County, 1654 to 1720. The records for New Kent between 1787 and 1864 were burned at the time the village of New Kent Courthouse suffered a disastrous fire. The records for New Kent since 1864 are intact and are in good condition. :Lesa Pfrommer has death date as 9 JAN 1693/94 in All Hallows, Anne Arundel County, Maryland and Immigration date, before 29 APR 1659 to America. :CHILDREN *Francis Wheeler b: 1672 in Charles County, MD Not in list of births above *John Wheeler , Jr. b: 1654 in Charles County, MD Not mentioned in father's will. * James Wheeler b: 16 DEC 1656 in Charles County, MD *Mary Wheeler b: 22 MAR 1658 in Charles County, MD *Thomas Wheeler b: 18 MAR 1660 in Charles County, MD *Winifred Wheeler b: MAR 1663 Married John Speake. *Ignatius Wheeler b: MAY 1665 in Charles County, MD '''Disputed Information''' MARY CAUSINE :Per Lesa Pfrommer has Mary WHEELER born Mar 09 1631, Of, Charles County, Maryland; died After 1694 , Charles Co, MD :From Mary Anderson: I understand that he came from England on a ship called the Dove (sailed about the same time as the Ark which was a supply ship).

== Biography == The White Family of South Petherton, Somerset, England has been thoroughly researched and documented by Almira Larkin White in her 1912 genealogy "Ancestry of John Barber White and of his Descendants"https://www.familysearch.org/library/books/viewer/44551/?offset=#page=49&viewer=picture&o=&n=0&q= John was baptized 1 June 1628 at Drayton Parish in Burton, Somerset, England, the first born son of of parents, [[White-16268|John White]] and [[West-5573|Joane West]]. His parents and younger siblings migrated to Salem, MA in 1639. [[White-145|John White d. Abt. 1673]] and his wife [[West-5773|Joane West]] are reported to have had five children that were baptized in Somerset, England, with four of them having immigrated with them to Salam, MA in 1638. Additionally, three other children were born in Salam/Wenham, including [[White-160|Josiah White b. 1643]]. [[White-3014|John White b.1628]] is not mentioned in his father’s will of 1673 but is mentioned in his grandfather [[West-836|Richard West]] will of 1643 where Richard bequeathed a two year old Bay mare to his grandsonhttps://ia803200.us.archive.org/11/items/ancestryofjohnba00whit/ancestryofjohnba00whit.pdf. This suggests that the 15 year old boy was in Somerset, England in 1643 and did not travel with his father, mother, and other siblings to Salem, MA in 1638 possibility remaining in England during this period living with and/or caring for his grandfather.Almira Larkin White.

[[White-16268|John White]] the father returned to England in 1648 because of a property dispute with his brother. He sued Robert, claiming that his sibling had appropriated all the monies from properties their father owned, but never given him his fair share. A few years after his return in 1651 [1 May 1653], he went with his family to Lancaster, MA, leaving his son Thomas on the home farm in Wenham. No additional records have been found that can definitively tie the son [[White-3014|John White b.1628]] to his family in Lancaster. Its possible he came to New England on one of is father's return trips after the death of his grandfather in 1643, however this is purely speculation. Its also possible [[White-3014|John White b.1628]] immigrated directly to Virginia as he appears t have had ties to his mother's West family who were early settlers in Isle of Wight. The remainder of this profile will build and document this assumption. ==Possible [[White-3014|John White b.1628]] Family == [[White-484|John White, d.1719]] has been well documented and researched by several sources. Unfortunately, many Isle of Wight and Nansemond County documents have been lost or destroyed making it difficult to determine his parents and possible siblings. == Y-DNA Analysis == Two Y-DNA testers with White surnames and a documented lineage to [[White-145|John White]]-Lancaster, MA show a more distant, although highly correlated, MRCA with [[White-484|John White d.1719]]. It is known that [[White-145|John White]] Lancaster had a son [[White-3014|John White]] b.1628 that immigrated to Massachusetts with his father and [[West-5773|Joane West]] (his mother) but disappeared from Lancaster records. Could this [[White-3014|John White]] have immigrated down to the Virginia Colony from Massachusetts? Two documented descendants of [[White-160|Josiah White b. 1643]] (Son of [[White-145|John White]] Lancaster, MA) show a genetic distance on the FamilyTreeDNA Y-111 Y-DNA test that support a conclusion that descendants of [[White-484|John White, d.1719]] Isle of Wight and [[White-160|Josiah White b. 1643]] share a significant likelihood of a common ancestor around 12 generations, suggesting a possibility that [[White-145|John White d. Abt. 1673]] could be the common ancestor. [[White-18192|Derek White]] and KW are documented descendants of [[White-145|John White]] Lancaster, MA and are a genetic distance of 2 and 5, respectively on the Y-111 Y-DNA test to [[White-57946|Charles White]] a documented descendent of [[White-484|John White, d.1719]] An analysis of the Y-DNA participants in the FamilyTreeDNA White Surname Project Group utilizing the Y-DNA Family Grouping APP (shown in attachment as I-M253 Haplo Group 22) indicates that these descendants are genetically very close. == West Family Ties To Virginia == There have also been researchers who have suggested that [[West-5773|Joane West]]'s brother [[West-833|Henry West]] and his wife were killed by an Indian Massacre of 1644 leaving behind two young brothers, one of which was [[West-480|William West]], who would have been cousins to the [[White-3014|John White]] b. 1628 in Lancaster. == Family == Additionally, 2 descendants from the immigrant [[White-145|John White]] Lancaster, MA have been identified and share a slightly more distant genetic Y-DNA distance to the William White, b. 1580 descendants. [[White-145|John White]] Lancaster, MA has been validated as a descendent of [[White-3013|Robert White]] and [[West-4905|Joan West]] from South Petherton County, Somerset, England identified as the 6th generation in the Genesis of the White Family by Emma Siggins White, 1920. page, 37. https://archive.org/details/genesisofwhitefa00whit/page/36/mode/2up?ref=ol&view=theater suggesting that William White b. 1580 is likely a descendant from one of the South Petherton, Somerset, England White family. Finally, [[White-18192|Derek White]] and KW are documented descendants of [[White-145|John White]] Lancaster, MA and share a fairly close genetic Y-DNA distance to [[White-57946|Charles White]] a documented descendent of [[White-484|John White, d.1719]]. [[White-145|John White]] Lancaster, MA has been validated as a descendent of [[White-3013|Robert White]] and [[West-4905|Joan West]] from South Petherton County, Somerset, England identified as the 6th generation in the Genesis of the White Family by Emma Siggins White, 1920. page, 37. https://archive.org/details/genesisofwhitefa00whit/page/36/mode/2up?ref=ol&view=theater Although the buildout of the Somerset White family is not complete, the 5th generation identified by Emma Siggins White https://archive.org/details/genesisofwhitefa00whit/page/36/mode/2up?ref=ol&view=theaterand others http://www.josephsmithsr.com/lucymack/getperson.php?personID=I31101&tree=josephsmithsr http://www.gulbangi.com/5families-o/p395.htm#i9864 https://books.google.com/books?id=mTZPDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA188&lpg=PA188&dq=christened+on+August+24,+1558+in+Hastings,+Sussex,+Eng.+william+white&source=bl&ots=8O1kbQjMo-&sig=ACfU3U0ivzclC9J_tu1hqQiY4YhJVsQkcw&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj97e_LgL35AhXbpIkEHbguBzIQ6AF6BAgDEAI#v=onepage&q=christened%20on%20August%2024%2C%201558%20in%20Hastings%2C%20Sussex%2C%20Eng.%20william%20white&f=false identify both a William White and Henry White as cousins to [[White-145|John White]] Lancaster, MA And from a timeline perspective, descendants from the 5th or 6th generation of the Somerset Whites could fit as the progenitor to this family. The Y-DNA reconciles with [[White-484|John White, d.1719]], the family has a active history in the Anglican Church as “church wardens”, and the family given names are consistent with those used by John, Thomas, and Henry. Further research is required to determine if this branch of the White Family were related to early Colonial involvement in the Virginia Company as mentioned in the "The Genesis of The United States" https://archive.org/details/TheGenesisOfTheUnitedStates/page/n639/mode/2up?q=white '''I).

Abt. 1673]], Lancaster, MA. family is genetically extremely close to [[White-70078|John White]] and [[White-4121|Henry White]] (they all share the I-M253 Group 22 Haplo Group), the genetic difference likely too great for [[White-3014|John White b.1628]], Son of [[White-145|John White d. Abt. 1673]], Lancaster, MA. to be the father of [[White-484|John White d.1719]]. == Y-DNA Analysis == Two Y-DNA testers with White surnames and a documented lineage to [[White-145|John White]]-Lancaster, MA show a more distant, although highly correlated, MRCA with [[White-484|John White d.1719]]. It is known that [[White-145|John White]] Lancaster had a son [[White-3014|John White]] b.1628 that immigrated to Massachusetts with his father and [[West-5773|Joane West]] (his mother) but disappeared from Lancaster records. Could this [[White-3014|John White]] have immigrated down to the Virginia Colony from Massachusetts? Two documented descendants of [[White-160|Josiah White b. 1643]] (Son of [[White-145|John White]] Lancaster, MA) show a genetic distance on the FamilyTreeDNA Y-111 Y-DNA test that support a conclusion that descendants of [[White-484|John White, d.1719]] Isle of Wight and [[White-160|Josiah White b. 1643]] share a significant likelihood of a common ancestor around 12 generations, suggesting a possibility that [[White-145|John White d. Abt. 1673]] could be the common ancestor. [[White-18192|Derek White]] and KW are documented descendants of [[White-145|John White]] Lancaster, MA and are a genetic distance of 2 and 5, respectively on the Y-111 Y-DNA test to [[White-57946|Charles White]] a documented descendent of [[White-484|John White, d.1719]] An analysis of the Y-DNA participants in the FamilyTreeDNA White Surname Project Group utilizing the Y-DNA Family Grouping APP (shown in attachment as I-M253 Haplo Group 22) indicates that these descendants are genetically very close. == Sources ==

John White may be related through the White family of South Petherton through Thomas White’s son John (who is mentioned in his brother’s will of 1551). Thomas White also had sons George, Richard, and Thomas. The 1601 John White line of Lancaster, MA comes down the Richard line. John White (d.1634) was a Bristol Merchant and a member of The Society of Merchant Adventurers https://archive.org/details/bristol-record-society-19 Merchants and Merchandise In Seventeenth Century Bristol, (Page 107) McGrath, 1955 . In 1665 his son John White, “Haberbatior of Small Wares”, noted as a son of “John White, merchant” and is admitted as a "freeman" (ability to trade) in Bristol in 1665 https://archive.org/details/bristol-record-society-19 Merchants and Merchandise In Seventeenth Century Bristol, (Page 33) McGrath, 1955 . John White d.1639 is likely related to George White who is also a member of the Society https://archive.org/details/bristol-record-society-19 Merchants and Merchandise In Seventeenth Century Bristol, (Page 140) McGrath, 1955 serving as as the Treasurer (1609) and a Warden (1610) and appears to have owned several ships in the trade business. George leaves a Will in 1615 and appears to have been very successful leaving substantial charitable contributions to the City of Bristol. George appears to have no descendants. Another likely Merchant Adventurer includes Thomas White who leaves a Will in 1601 which references Sir Frances Drake, the early explorer. Members of the Bristol Merchant Adventurers were generally merchant wholesalers who facilitated the import/export of goods from the port of Bristol. The Adventurers had stringent requirements for membership and worked within an apprentice system. As this was a system based on long-term relations and trust they tended to favor membership to family members widely connected to each other. Adventurer families settling in Virginia (along the border of today’s Isle of Wight and Nanesmound Counties) included the Francis England, Christopher Lewis, Robert Flack, Robert Pitt, John Moore families. Humphrey Browne, apprenticed to first to John White (1601) whose daughter Elizabeth he married in 1611 second to George White. Humphrey Browne, d. 1630, was Sheriff of Bristol, and Master of the Merchant Venturers.https://walterfitzgilbertdehamilton.wordpress.com/2018/06/01/white-and-moore/ ===John White Will 1639=== Will probated April 2, 1639[attached]. Will identifies the following family members: John White and wife Catherine Sister Anne Gought Executions William Louge, Alderman of Bristol and Brother-in-law William Sutton Children: #John #Thomas #Anne John White’s Will of 1634 leaves the substantial portion of his estate to his first born son John with portions to his son Thomas and daughter Anne. Wife Catherine to reside in House until death. Significant cavities are included to cover the possibility of death or non-claimant on behalf of the benefactors that might lead to the belief that John and Thomas may not be in Bristol. == Sources ==

Beth Richardson, Surry County Historical Society has information concerning many Surry Whites in their files. Phone 575-294-0404. Also have a copy of the "Surry" map but no additional information on Henry White. Key Points: *A John and Charles White transported by John Moone in 1635. (unclear if connected) *A John White and Thomas Boy transported in 1635 by John Moore Warrasquinoake [[Space:John_White_Early_Immigrant_by_Sponsor_and_Arrival_Date]]-- (a John Boy is connected in Surry Tax Records) *A William and Charles White were transported together on 27 July 1635 on the "Primrose" (also from Gravesend), ages listed as 23 and 18 respectively.https://www.packrat-pro.com/ships/primrose.htm (unclear if connected) *Burgess/Merchant John White dies in 1658 *Bacon's Rebellion 1676 *A John appears to be associated with Mooring, Newsum, Spencer, and Charles White based on Surry Tax data (1674-78). *John White Will 1679 mentions Newsum, Price, Sisters Mary and Lucy, and Blackwater, no mention of sons. *Possible Thomas White could be brother https://www.jstor.org/stable/4244982?read-now=1&seq=11#page_scan_tab_contents *Charles White continues to appear in tax records with Mooring thru 1681 and with others until 1702. *A John and Charles transported as part of John Mooring Surry claim in 1687. (Charles d.1709 and son John on delayed claim?) *His Will makes null and void all Wills previously made (implying he had a former Will). Boddie and others have suggested that this line of the White family dies out as the only son of [[White-19372|Captain John White]] mentions no male heirs in his will and leaves his estate to his sisters. However, the Surry Tax Tithables mention many surnamed Whites, including William, Charles, Thomas, George, and a new John 1702 in Southwark Parrish and Lawnes Creek, with multiple related transactions between themselves and others. This could imply a more extended family of brothers and/or relations. Further work needs to be done on identifying this family that may have a progenitor of [[White-484|John White]] or one of his brothers.

=== DNA === Multiple source-record confirmed male descendants of John Wood of Portsmouth, Rhode Island have completed test results through Short Tandem Repeat markers and Single Nucleotide Polymorphism testings, including Big Y-700 testing. The Y-DNA haplogroup is I and the SNP is P37. The haplotree line is IJ > I-M170 > I-P215 > I-CTS2257 > I-L460 > I-P37 > CTS595I > S21825I > Y4213I > Y4192I > L1287I > L233I > Y4197I > Y4252I > Y85503I > FT212799 > FT211895. See Y-full.com for more information. In Eurasia, a man whose I-P37 was a mutation that occurred several thousand years ago was born long before the birth of John Wood of Portsmouth. However, there are be more recent variants occurring after I-P37, as confirmef through the Big Y-700 test. The clade of I-P37 has two subclades, I-CTS595 and I-M423. I-CTS595 has been proven to belong to the male descendants of John Wood of Portsmouth. The Wood DNA Group 10 (descendants of [[Wood-4982|Calvin F. Wood (abt.1811-abt.1884)]]) has identified I-FT211895 which belongs to I-CTS595; there is Y-DNA [https://www.familytreedna.com/public/Wood/default.aspx?section=ycolorized certainty in the pedigree] connecting to John Wood. There are the test results of STR (Short Tandem Repeat) markers on the Y-DNA colorized chart for the Wood / Woods Y-DNA Project through Family TreeDNA. You can click here at [https://www.familytreedna.com/public/Wood/default.aspx?section=ycolorized Wood / Woods Y-DNA Project] to view the chart. Look for Group 10 for John Wood of Portsmouth's male descendants. You can see just a few mutations have varied since the birth of John Wood of Portsmouth, so those men are related through the sons of John Wood of Portsmouth, but the chart does not say which one of the five sons, they are descended from, but this information is available. Additionally, a triangulated group has been discovered through autosomal testing that shares [[Wood-114|John Wood]] and his wife [[Unknown-440245|Unknown (Unknown) Wood]] as most recent common ancestors. They share a 10.9 cM segment on chromosome 10. * [[Kelly-7745|Duane Kelly]] is a descendant of [[Wood-149|Thomas Wood]] * CM is a descendant of [[Wood-2235|Margaret (Wood) Manchester]] * CH is a descendant of [[Wood-112|John (Wood) Wood of Middletown]] == Sources == * Wood Y-DNA Project, https://www.familytreedna.com/public/Wood/default.aspx?section=ycolorized.

Royal Household records LS13/153 – Lord Steward’s Department Orders to Tradesmen (1849 Mar-1851 Dec) (last volume in this series) The entire volume was searched for any order placed with John YATES, with no result. This volume contains details of many orders placed with tailors, hatters and bootmakers, most of which appear to have been for items required as parts of or complete uniforms for servants and assistants at various palaces including Buckingham Palace, St James’ Palace, Hampton Court Palace, Kew Palace and Windsor Castle. The Items of uniform ordered included: - From a tailor: scarlet coats; - From a hatter: gold laced hats and military gloves; - From a bootmaker: military boots; - From a tailor: long order, which included scarlet laced jackets; - From a tailor: servants’ uniforms (e.g. jackets, trousers and white waistcoats for assistants in the silver pantry); - From 2 x tailors: greatcoats for porters LS13/152 – Lord Steward’s Department Orders to Tradesmen (1844 Apr-1849 Feb) The preceding volume in the same series was searched from the beginning of Jan 1847 to Feb 1849 (last entry in volume). No mention of John YATES was found. This volume contains copies of orders placed with (amongst others) tailors, hatters and bootmakers for items required for various palaces. Example of an order to a tailor (a Mr LESLIE): items required for St James’ Palace: 22 Apr 1848 Items required for St James’ Palace: 4 x scarlet coats 4 x blue waistcoats and pantaloons LC13/2 – Lord Chamberlain’s Department Office of Robes Tradesmen supplying items for ceremonial occasions (1837 Jun-1852 Jul) The Lord Chamberlain’s Department’s responsibilities included the royal chambers, the Office of Robes, the wardrobe, ceremonies, musicians, chapels, messengers, Yeomen of the Guard and Watermen. This item includes a contemporary index by name of supplier, in the form of an “alphabet” (whereby all surnames beginning with the same initial letter are listed one after the other in chronological but not strict alphabetical order). It is not known whether the index is complete or reliable. The only instance of the name YATES in the index was a George YATES, Artificial Florist. Every Quarterly Account and Annual Account relating to the period Dec 1846 to Jul 1852 was searched for any mention of J(ohn) YATES, with no result. The accounts comprise lists of individuals (under various categories of tradesmen) and the amount each tradesman was paid for goods or services supplied during the relevant period. The lists include (amongst others) the following categories of tradesmen: hatters, tailors, milliners, dressmakers, glovers, hosiers, cloak makers, shoe and boot makers. LC13/3 – Lord Chamberlain’s Department Office of Robes Tradesmen supplying items for ceremonial occasions (1852 Jul-1879 Dec) The subsequent volume in the series has a similar arrangement. The first Quarterly Account in this volume relates to Jun Qtr 1852. Every Quarterly Account and Annual Account relating to the period Dec 1846 to Jul 1852 was searched for any mention of J(ohn) YATES, with no result. The accounts comprise lists of individuals under various categories of tradesmen and the amount each tradesman was paid for goods or services supplied during the relevant period. The lists include (amongst others) the following categories of tradesmen: hatters, tailors, milliners, dressmakers, glovers, hosiers, cloak makers, shoe and boot makers. This volume also includes a contemporary index by name of supplier, in the form of an “alphabet” (whereby all surnames beginning with the same initial letter are listed one after the other in chronological but not strict alphabetical order). It appears the index is incomplete and unreliable. There are no YATES listed in the index, but a G YATES was seen in the first Quarterly Account searched (for Jun Qtr 1852). He appeared in several subsequent Accounts, sometimes referred to as G YATES, sometimes simply as YATES and, on one occasion, as R YATES: Jun Qtr 1852 – G YATES paid for Plumassiers (a Plumassier was an arranger of plumes and feathers) Dec Qtr 1852 – G YATES paid for Plumassiers Sept Qtr 1854 – YATES (no initial) paid £4-18s-0d for Plumassiers Sept Qtr 1855 – YATES (no initial) paid £15-4s-0d for Plumassiers Annual Account for year ending 31 Dec 1855 – YATES entry (no initial): tallies with amounts for Plumassiers Sept Qtr 1856 – G YATES paid £26-2s-9d for [services as] Plumassier Annual Account for year ending 31 Dec 1856 – recorded as G YATES Sept Qtr 1857 – YATES (no initial), Artificial Florist, paid £11-3s-6d Annual Account for year ending 31 Dec 1857 – R YATES appears as the last entry on a list under the category Perfumers, the preceding category to Plumassiers. He is shown to have received a payment of £11-3s-6d, so he must be YATES, the Artificial Florist recorded as receiving £11-3s-6d in the Quarterly Accounts for Sept Qtr 1857, and his inclusion on the list of Perfumers appears to have been the result of a clerical error. Jun Qtr 1858 – G YATES, Artificial Florist, paid £46-5s-0d. It can be seen from the above entries that the index in this volume is unreliable and that the accounts it contains are not always entirely accurate with regard to name of supplier. Nevertheless, it is clear that none of the YATES entries relate to John YATES, Tailor. LC9/394 – Lord Chamberlain’s Department Accounts Books: Receipts for Liveries (1819-1853) This volume was searched from the beginning of 1847 forwards to the last entry, dated Mar 1853. No mention of YATES was found. The volume includes detailed records of the receipt of liveries for e.g. Life Guards, Horse Guards, Warders of the Tower, Yeoman of the Guard, Household Drummers and Watermen. Receipts are signed by clerks or persons in the various regiments/groups to confirm receipt of listed items, e.g. 3 May 1848 Received for Warders of the Tower: 40 scarlet cloth coats with gold lace 40 scarlet cloth sword belts with gold lace 40 pairs scarlet cloth breeches with gold laced garters 40 velvet bonnets with ribbons & other items 1848 Received for the Chapel Boys: 10 gold laced coats 10 surcoats 10 pairs scarlet breeches 10 blue Padua waistcoats & various other items 1849 Received for Royal Horse Guards – blue: 9 gold laced coats 9 cloaks with capes 9 velvet capes 9 pairs pantaloons & other items Fri 30 May 1851 Received for 5 Household Drummers: 5 scarlet cloth gold laced coats 5 pairs white drill trousers 5 gold laced cocked hats 5 black velvet capes 5 crimson silk sashes, fringed with gold 5 crimson cloth cloaks, fringed with gold lace Interspersed with the receipts are notes from officials within the various regiments or groups authorising representatives to collect items and signed notes confirming receipt of items. LC9/405– Lord Chamberlain’s Department Accounts Books: Order Books for Supplies (1845-1865) This volume was searched from the beginning of 1847 to the end of 1858. No mention of YATES was found. The volume lists orders given to various traders and records traders’ surname, trade and palace to be supplied. Tradesmen listed include Tailors and Robemakers. It was noticed that a Tailor named Hunter appeared to be recorded both as a Tailor and a Robemaker; as well as tailored items (e.g. suits for page boys) he was supplying Robes of the Garter and Robes of the Thistle. The volume includes a contemporary index in the form of an “alphabet” (whereby all surnames beginning with the same initial letter are listed one after the other in chronological but not strict alphabetical order). The index appears to be incomplete and by cross-checking a few lists was confirmed as unreliable. LC9/408 – Lord Chamberlain’s Department Accounts Books: Abstract of Tenders (1833-1851) (labelled “Estimates” on front of volume) This volume was searched from the beginning of 1847 to 17 Feb 1851 (last entry in volume). There were no entries for the year 1847. No mention of YATES was found during the period covered by the search. This volume lists all tradesmen invited to tender for supplying goods, including specific items of clothing. For example, in 1848 tenders were invited for the Triennial supply of clothing for the Warders of the Tower. Ten tradesmen (all named) were invited to tender. One declined competing. Nine tradesmen tendered; details of each of their tenders entered in the register. LC11 – Lord Chamberlain’s Department Bills Books (covering dates of series: 1783-1900) The reference LC11 refers to an entire series. The Bills Books are arranged Quarterly, with four per year. The listings for the period 1845-1857 include individual Bills Books specifically relating to Upholsterers, Ironmongers and Laundry. Other quarterly Bills Books for the same period are catalogued as containing Ordinary and Extraordinary Bills. Ordinary Bills include tradesmen’s accounts, household allowances (including for lodging, travel, rail and cab expenses, luggage transportation, messengerial, laundry, stationery and newspapers). Extraordinary Bills include items which are additional to the day-to-day running of the royal residences, e.g. expenses relating to special events and other ceremonial events and expenses incurred for regalia and insignia. None of this series was searched as there was no indication in TNA’s catalogue as to which volumes (if any) were likely to include entries relating to tailors’ bills. For the year 1847, three Quarterly Bills Books for Ordinary and Extraordinary Bills were identified, but not searched. LS2/113 – Lord Steward’s Department Tradesmen’s Bills (Jan-Mar 1854) (3rd Class relates to Tradesmen’s Bills) The section headed “3rd Class” comprises details of tradesmen’s bills, arranged by the palace for which the items had been ordered. The remainder of the volume records salaries paid to employees for which the Lord Steward’s Department had responsibility. The section headed “3rd Class” was searched for any bills from a tradesman with surname YATES, with no result. Items for which payment were made included liveries for under porters. The remainder of the volume (comprising salaries) was not searched. LS2/114 – Lord Steward’s Department Tradesmen’s Bills, Supplementary, 2nd & 3rd Class (Jan-Mar 1854) (3rd Class relates to Tradesmen’s Bills) The section headed “3rd Class” comprises details of tradesmen’s bills, arranged by palace. The remainder of the volume records salaries paid to employees for which the Lord Steward’s Department had responsibility. The section headed “3rd Class” was searched for any bills from a tradesman with surname YATES, with no result. The remainder of the volume (comprising salaries) was not searched. LS32/90 – Lord Steward’s Department Tradesmen’s Bills (Apr-Jun Qtr 1848) (3rd Class relates to Tradesmen’s Bills) This volume records details of bills from tradesmen for the supply of a variety of goods and services, mainly food and household related, but also for stationery, engraving, accessories and for artificial flowers (G YATES recorded as the supplier). Details of bills for hats and gloves were found in a section headed “Sundry Expenses”. The entire volume was searched for any tailor-related items (n.b. I did not search the lists of surnames for YATES). No mention of bills from tailors was found in this volume. LS32/89 – Lord Steward’s Department Tradesmen’s Bills (Jan-Mar Qtr 1848) (3rd Class relates to Tradesmen’s Bills) The preceding volume in the series has the same arrangement, recording details of bills from tradesmen for the supply of a variety of goods and services. The entire volume was searched for any tailor-related items (I did not search lists of surnames for YATES). No mention of bills from tailors was found in this volume. No records within the following series survive for the period of interest: LC5/31-83 – Lord Chamberlain’s Department – Office of Wardrobe: Warrant Books (none after 1782) LC5/197-199 – Lord Chamberlain’s Department – Orders to Tradesmen for Court mourning (none after 1827) LC12 – Lord Chamberlain’s Department – Office of Robes Accounts & Suppliers of goods to the Office of Robes (none before 1860) Apr 2018 Patricia O’Neill patricia@london-archive-searches.com www.london-archive-searches.com

==Research Notes for John Gray 1830-1919 (Gray-25134)== [[Gray-25134|John Gray (1830-1919)]] is said to have been born on 1 Jun 1830, in Scarborough, Yorkshire, England, and to have lost his parents by the age of ten. He emigrated to the US in about 1850. There are no obvious records confirming his birth or parents, and this page attempts to record some of the people of the right name and age who have / haven't been eliminated as candidates for being this John Gray. The first John identified was in Scarborough in 1841, the other six form a cluster of men born in or close to the market town of Malton in north Yorkshire between 1827 and 1833. Bearing in mind how “flexible” people’s age could be, identifying which records belong to which person has only been possible by looking at these six as a group, and in some cases looking much more widely at other family members for evidence of links, and for whether occupations are plausible. Ambiguities remain, but these research notes, and the profiles themselves, are intended as a starting point for anyone researching these men further. '''[[Gray-43832|John Gray (abt.1833-)]], in Scarborough with parents James and Ann in 1841''' :This is the only census record for a John Gray of the right age in Scarborough, "England and Wales Census, 1841", , FamilySearch (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MQPM-1QW : Tue Dec 05 12:51:33 UTC 2023), Entry for James Gray and Ann Gray, 1841. so is of particular interest. :Baptised Pickering in Jan 1833, son of James and Ann.

Page 08 ===Johnne Drymie Ockerer In Dundee=== In the year 1612, Johnne Drymie in Dundee, amongst many others at this time, fell foul of the law relating to Usury. An Act of the Scottish Parliament of 1587 had stated the following, It is not lesum (lawful) to take ane greater rent for the 100 pundes nor 10 pundes or five bolles victual. So the taking of intrest on money lent became respectable so long as you were willing to take no more than the stated ten per cent. Prior to this the attitude of the church held that Usury was moraly wrong although it was much in evidence from the records of such as, David Wedderburn merchant in Dundee who in 1596 had lent James Kyd...x lib in Inglis money to be payit this day 8 dayis under the pane of dubling thairof. In the years following this act not much attention was paid to the letter of the law and in the following twenty years excess rates raged by connivance. Then in 1610-11 the Government realising what was going on began to crack down on the lawbreakers. As this encompassed almost everyone the convention of burghs was most concerned and appointed four commissioners to proceed to the King, to plead, for a discharge from the penal act against the taking of more than ten of the hunder. It soon became apparent to the Government that the extent of the problem was too great for the ordinary processes of the law and a powerful Commission was appointed, to report on those, poenall laws which have heirtofoir beine left in sik deswetude.. as micht have induced the subjects to expect impunitie of contraveining the same. Its report, embodied in an act of 1612, tendered the advice that pardon should be extended to, all who before Martinmas 1611, had taken not more than 12 per cent. All others were to suffer as the laws prescribed; and during the course of 1612 some 350 ockerers were rounded up for prosecution. In short, the vital distinction was clearly preserved: what the Act of 1587 called exorbitant profit ...... taken for the lene of money was condemned by the laws of God and of the realm, but any rate of 10 per cent or below was legal, if not wholly morally commendable. The sin lay not in cutting the flesh, but in exceeding the alloted pound. The Lord Advocate had raised an action against Jhonne Drymmie in Dundee for the above practises and summond him and the others to appear to answer the charge, failure to do so would result in confiscation of all their goods and punishment of their person. Only one appeared to answer the charge and the rest including Jhonne were denounced rebels. When we consider what punishment of their person meant it is not surprising that they were loath to comply. In the late 1560's, for example, a series of executions took place for the importing of false coin and the culprits; heidis, armis and leggis were put on display in their home towns of Dundee and Perth.

==== Notes on maternal ancestors of [[Gibbon-367|John Gibbon]]. ==== There are links from these notes to each person's Wikitree profile, which includes all sources and notes and links to other family members, and for the more recent people there is often a photograph. On the Wikitree profiles, anything underlined is a link, and the boxed 'Ancestors' and 'Descendants' show a tree of ancestors or a list of descendants. Profiles of living people are private, try person 2 or 3. Ancestors are listed using the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahnentafel Ahnentafel] numbering system. Person 1 is the root of the tree, their father is number 2, their mother is number 3. For anyone in the tree, their father's number is double their number, and their mother's number is double their number plus one. To avoid repetition, details of children are given for the father (because he is described first).

George was christened in Newport, Lincoln in July 1870. George married #5 [[Kedge-30|Beatrice Charlotte Kedge]] on 31st March 1893 at Lincoln Registry Office. George was a 'fitter'. The couple had seven children born in Lincoln. The second, Walter, died age 6 in 1902.

June did not know 'Granny Askew' very well, but she does remember her as an old lady. Beatrice grew up as Beatrice Kedge. She was illegitimate, born at 71 Britannia Street, Hoxton New Town, (Shoreditch). She grew up with her mother, listed on census returns as a niece. Her father was a publican, who died three or four years after Beatrice was born. In 1881, when she was 14, she was living with her mother and step father William Windsor, a shipbroker, at 61 Median Road, Hackney. She had seven half-siblings. Her mother was widowed in 1889 and kept a boarding house in Hornsey with men from mainland Europe lodging in 1891. Beatrice was a governess in 1891. Beatrice married #4 [[Hind-287|George James Hind]] in Lincoln Registry office on 31st March 1893, when she was 24. Her father was listed as 'Robert Kedge. deceased publican'. We can only speculate about what Beatrice, or her step father or siblings, knew about her parentage. Beatrice and George livid in Lincoln and had seven children, Mally, Walter, Joel, George, Lottie, Charles and Trudie. George died in the Typhoid epidemic that killed 1331 people in Lincoln. Beatrice had a boarder William Askew in 1911, who she married in 1915; he died in 1919, apparently of an infection following the amputation of his leg after a war wound.

==== Notes on paternal ancestors of [[Gibbon-367|John Gibbon]]. ==== This is a brief summary of the lives of the known ancestors of John Gibbon. There is a wealth of information about the Wright family in 'Yeomen of the Fens' by Kenneth and Margaret Morley, and 'One Man's Words', two volumes about Herbert Wright by Kenneth Morley, and about the Hunt family in 'The Hunts, a Quaker family in Gloucestershire and Bristol 1700-1938' by Janet Schonbeck. There are links from these notes to each person's Wikitree profile, which includes all sources and notes and links to other family members, and for the more recent people there is often a photograph. On the Wikitree profiles, anything underlined is a link, and the boxed 'Ancestors' and 'Descendants' show a tree of ancestors or a list of descendants. Profiles of living people are private, try person 2 or 3. Ancestors are listed using the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahnentafel Ahnentafel] numbering system. Person 1 is the root of the tree, their father is number 2, their mother is number 3. For anyone in the tree, their father's number is double their number, and their mother's number is double their number plus one. To avoid repetition, details of marriage is usually given only for one of a couple.

In the late 1930s Dr Goldsmith base in Newark ran a refugee support group an in 1939 Suzi Weiss came from Austria with her mother. Her father was a dentist; he committed suicide just before they left Austria. They stayed with Dr Goldsmith. In 1940 Suzi came to live with Sidney and Elsie; Suzie was 12 and Janet was 11, they were in the same class at school, they got on well. Suzi's mother stayed somewhere else. Presumably Janet's brother Alan was away at Ackworth School. Before Suzi was placed with Sidney and Elsie she had been placed with a single man; she was not happy there and left. She stayed with Sidney and Elsie for 9 months, leaving in September 1940, when Suzi and her mother went to the United States to stay with relatives. After the war Dr Goldsmith contacted the family in the United States and they told him that they had done a midnight flit and disappeared.

An interesting point was raised by defence made at Bridgwater, Monday, by two fathers, in answer to the charge of refusing to have their children vaccinated. William Henry Roberts, coach builder, and Edwin James Bovett, veterinary surgeon, were the defendants. Their children were each aged nearly two years. The summons ordered the defendants to bring their children into court The defendants’ solicitors, Messrs. Barham and Levybond, stated that their clients had conscientious objections to vaccination, and with all due respect to the Bench, they were determined to resist the application to the utmost. The children were not in attendance, and the magistrate’s clerk advised that in order to justify the Bench in making order, to ensure conviction, they must be brought there. In answer to this it was contended that the fathers who were summoned, had not the custody of the children, but that the mothers alone had the control over them until they were seven years of age, and that there was no power to force the fathers to produce them. Mr. Reed, clerk to the Board of Guardians, submitted that the non-production of the children was contempt of Court, if not misdemeanour, and intimated that he should summon the mothers. Barham said this could only be done on the hypothesis that the fathers had not the custody of their children, but the mothers, and there would at once be an end of the cases, and an application could not be made against a married woman. The bench ruled that the children should be produced, and suggested a general adjournment for that purpose; which Mr. Reed agreed to, but it was intimated by Barham that at the adjournment next Monday, the children would probably not be forthcoming, and that the bench would have to adopt what course they thought proper.' (Eastern Daily Press, Tuesday 07 February 1871) Vaccination of newborn children against smallpox was [https://wellcomecollection.wordpress.com/2017/07/13/outsiders-the-child/ compulsory] by 1853 but it wasn't until the 1870 that prosecutions were brought.

''' JOHNSON & APPLEYARDS LTD OF SHEFFIELD''' Several generations of Appleyards have derived their income from Cabinet making and Joinery starting with Joseph Appleyard (1770-1839) who after his marriage and move to Conisborough, appears to have started his original Cabinet business which developed to Joseph Appleyard & Sons of Rotherham. Towards the end of the 1870's Joseph Appleyard & Sons of Rotherham acquired the Sheffield firm of William Johnson & Sons to create Johnson & Appleyards Ltd of Sheffield. Johnson and Appleyards Ltd was incorporated on the 23rd February 1891, Company No. 00033439 and although still listed as Active, it is no longer trading.Use this link https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk and search for Johnson and Appleyards Ltd.

After the death of Marianne Merritt in June 2013, the family decided to get together via Facebook to share events, pictures and stories. Upon doing this, they decided it was a good idea to get together and so the family reunion was proposed. It was attended by over 40 people.

This is a space for clarifying the different Johnson families that were early settlers in Overton County, TN. With the common occurrence of the Johnson name combined with records missing from a courthouse fire, it is difficult to untangle different families. Hopefully, documenting evidence in the same place, and encouraging DNA testing from descendents, this can be disentangled. ==Families== Isaac Johnson (son of Henry Johnson) and Rachel Holman. Arrival in Overton: probably after 1808. Isaac's nephew, Cave Johnson, explains that after coming to Robertson county, he returned to North Carolina to marry Rachel Holman. He then returned to Robertson for a few years, and then settled in Overton. Their marriage is listed as 1805 Ancestry.com. U.S. and International Marriage Records, 1560-1900.[Note: The original source of the data for this database is unclear.] and in Robertson County Wills and Inventory, there is a bond that an Isaac Johnson signs for in 1808.

It was Henry of Stokes Co. Few people seem to search deed records where a lot of the clues are located. There is a whole clan of Johnsons who lived on Dutchman's Creek, which is on the opposite side of Horse Shoe Neck where your William lived. Their lineage is quite clear in the deeds but not sure I've seen it published.

He is next to or near familiar names of Buckner, Dedmon, Nickolas Click and Richard Pearson. What's bugging me is that there are only two males under 16 when there should be three. Henry, being the oldest, is probably out working for someone because he's not showing up in the Census records.

I can't help but think either our Patrick or our George had a male child we are not aware of who went into NC. Seems like quite a few common names with our lines.

Date is 7 Aug 1792 [https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-89G4-S3VW?i=187&cat=34] ===Another William Johnson=== We may have two different William Johnson families. The Samuel and William Johnson who have a guardian appointed in 1803 would presumably have been underage. However our Samuel and William (aka William Henry) would have been older and of age or close to in 1803 thus not needing a guardian. Samuel born about 1783 and William Henry born about 1782. Those birth years arrived at by crunching numbers from other court records. We definitely have 2 different Williams. It looks like they both had a son Samuel and a daughter Margaret. It couldn’t be any more complicated, could it Look at the following and note the two Guardians named NC, Rowan Co., Guardian Bonds Pt. 3 1801-1810 Image 451 10 Nov 1803 Jasper Collins and Richmond Pearson appointed Guardians to Samuel Johnston[https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-89G4-SQD4?i=450&cat=340378] Now just go back one image and look at this NC, Rowan Co., Guardian Bonds Pt. 3 1801-1810 Image 450 9 Nov 1803 Jasper Collins and Richmond Pearson appointed Guardians James Phillips a minor husband of Margaret Johnston[https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-89G4-SQ8Q?i=449&cat=340378] Left hand column, 7 down 26 Mar 1803 Thomas Deadman's land bordered William Johnston's[https://www.ancestry.com/imageviewer/collections/60548/images/42091_342717-00117?treeid=&personid=&rc=&usePUB=true&_phsrc=hg1-1393845&_phstart=successSource&pId=5734666] 1st marriage and Taggart 2nd or two different Margarets ? This second one makes more sense because of the witness Thomas Deadmon where the Taggart witness was William H. Johnston, maybe not our Henry. Margaret married James Phillips 1803. So her married name would have been Phillips when she divided the slave with her sisters in 1808. But she wasn't referred to as Phillips in the court record for the slave. So we do have 2 Margarets but I vote for the one who married Tagert in 1809 as our William Johnson's daughter. Same James Philips. It would explain the “a Minor” part of the other record sent.

This one looks like he might be a little old Duh. Now my math is off. The 1830 William H is in the correct age group to be Margret’s brother. Accounting for the vagaries of folks not knowing their proper birth date in those days you still have to wonder if William H might be an uncle or cousin. Very Good Possibilities. Definitely related, though. One of the Census records also had a Baker Johnson close by. Rather odd name but I also saw it in Rowan Co. Records. ===John Manoah Johnson=== Honi wrote to Jim: You had mentioned helping Connie with her "Manoah" Johnson and it sounded so familiar. It took me a bit to put two and two together of where I had seen that name. I thought Monoah was in the Scott family but that wasn't where I had seen the name. It was in my pursuit of Mary Leake's family. Note from Jim. FYI : Leake family is the one that Thomas Stiff/Stith (of the 1813 Cabell Co. Tax List with Jesse Sr., etc.) was connected to.So, I took a look at Connie's Monoah and WOW, the similarities are crazy. She has his father as "uncertainly" born in Maryland and you may know where that location comes from. Take a look at the names of parents/siblings of this William Johnson compared to the names her William gave his own children. Is this a crazy coincidence, or what? I'm pretty sure her William's daughter "Avey" was an Averilla. There also appears to be a Smith connection. Ann Smith was mother to William Johnson of Goochland Co, and her William Johnson naming Obadiah Smith as an executor. William, b. 1753, son of William Johnson & Christian Leake https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Johnson-60621 Connie's William Johnson, b. circa 1750 https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Johnson-101977 ==Sources==

page twelve Johnson Family The Johnson family came from Smoland Sweden. In Sweden sons and daughters take the name of their fathers given name. Thus Jon (as Jun) Olson was Ola's son and Jon's father, Ola, was identified by the place he lived etc. Jon Olson was married twice. He and his first wife lived in Sweden . She died in Sweden some time before Jon and family sailed for America. The older family of Jon Olson on coming to USA took the given name of their father, thus here in America were known as Johnson. Jon's second wife had been previously married as Nelson, hence Jon's step-son became John Nelson. Jon met his second wife (page thirteen) on the sail boat on their way to USA. Jon , his wife and family were known as Olson. Jon and family sailed for America in 1853. Jon was born in Sweden July 7, 1809, died in Illinois Jan 21, 1885 and buried at Dekalb, Ill.

One of my cousins has been able to trace an ancestor to a Candace or Candice Hayes (Hays) born in 1840 in Youngsville, PA. She has been able to trace back to who she thinks is Candace's father, a Jonathon Hayes born in 1801 in New York and died in Troy Township, PA (no date of death). Her mother appears to be a woman named Sarah Prince Munger, born 1814 in Massachusetts and died in Troy Township, PA, and again no date of death. If anyone has any info on these two people, I would appreciate if you would contact me. Thank you, Tammy Arra

These are recent photos of the building that Dee Roy Johnson owned during the 1930's. His meat market/butcher shop was on the ground floor and there were/are ten apartments in the back of the store and on the 2nd level. He named the apartments after his Texas hometown of Killeen. Underneath the mat on the front step to the entrance of the apartments can be found the word in tile Killeen.

(Photo by Thomas Reznich) “It’s the end of an era.” That’s how Bob Shea described the closing of East Bay Lodge in Prudenville, which is set to occur on April 15. Current owner Randy Krause said a lack of peak season business and the general sluggishness of the economy were both factors in the business’s demise. '''The lodge began as Johnson’s Rustic Tavern, and was built in 1925 by Frank Johnson, who came from Chicago where he had headed up Farm Crest Bakeries, Inc. When Frank Johnson died in the 1930s his son Earl Johnson took over the business. '''BIG BUSINESS ON HOUGHTON LAKE A 1966 flyer from Johnson’s Rustic Resort features a beach scene on Houghton Lake’s East Bay. The resort, which began in 1925 as John­son’s Rustic Tavern, grew to become a convention center that served many of the largest corporations in the country. Owning 2.5 miles of Houghton Lake shoreline, Earl Johnson eventually expanded the business into Johnson’s Rustic Resort, which encompassed over 1,800 acres of land, and included the White Deer Golf Course, a dance hall (now the Houghton Lake Historical Playhouse), a restaurant, a bar and a convention center.''' '''Johnson was one of the largest real estate developers in the area, and was also well versed in the hospitality industry, having served as the president of the American Hotel Association. The top notch amenities and service at Johnson’s Rustic Resort drew convention business from all over the country, including from many top corporations such as Chevrolet, Dodge and Packard, Standard Oil Corp., Dow Chemical Company, John Hancock Insurance Company, the Detroit Tigers and many others.''' '''In 1959, seeing that the rustic theme was going out of style, Johnson modernized the lodge, which had been constructed from tamarack logged about two miles from the building site. Changes included removing the log building’s third floor, siding the exterior and remodeling the entire interior to include a full bathroom in each of the facility’s 27 guest rooms.''' '''In 1968, Johnson sold the resort to Bill Oliver Sr., who renamed it Bill Oliver’s Lakefront Motor Lodge.''' Oliver turned the resort’s restaurant into The King’s Table, which was widely regarded as the top restaurant in the area until it burned down in October 1979.''' In 1980, Oliver sold the lodge to Bob and Laura Shea, who turned it into Shea’s Lakefront Lodge. Laura Shea said their business was highly dependent on vacationers, who would book rooms at the lodge for a week at a time during the summer season. She said that their family-friendly theme brought customers back year after year. She said that during the early 2000s, the business began to change, as the taste and habits of the customers changed. “People take shorter vacations now,” said Bob Shea, “and they want spacious, modern baths, air conditioning and more modern conveniences in general.” The Sheas sold the lodge to Randy and Lorrie Krause in 2004, who gave the business its current name, East Bay Lodge. Bob Shea, who lives in a home that was part of Johnson’s Rustic Resort located a stone’s throw from the lodge, said he was impressed with the creativity shown by the Krauses, who were able to expand the facility’s off-season business, and also did innovative things to bring in new business, such as making the facil­ity “dog friendly.” But the trend away from weekday business during the prime summer sea­son, the weak economy and rising costs were too much for the Krauses to over­come, and the Lodge is scheduled to go to bank ownership on April 15. “This economy stinks,” said Bob Shea, “You can see it in the entire town. Driving down M-55 you see how many businesses have gone out of business. It’s difficult to see it (the lodge) re-opening as a lodging facility.” Ruth Clemens, associate broker at Coldwell Banker Schmidt Realtors in Prudenville, said the lodge property, along with other adjacent property that is currently for sale, would create a total of 420 feet of contiguous shoreline on Houghton Lake’s East Bay available for investment and development. Randy Krause, who owns a home near the lodge, said he plans to stay in the area and may become involved in volunteer work, along with “chasing bird dogs and hitting a little white ball.” He said it is sad to see the historic business end and “I hope someone will re-open it.”

Until his resignation in 1625, and death in 1626, 'his, was the hand in the glove'. Among the Aberdeenshire Johnstons the name Robert was so popular that I know not whether Marschal University matriculants of that name referred to him. My earliest reference to Robert Johnson is a letter to Sir Robert Cecil, dated Paris, Feb. 12, 1602-3, (see pg. 216), a Holograph, written in French, Italian and Latin, expressing 'love, gratitude and admiration', as Johnson was returning from education on the continent. It is endorsed, "Young Mr. Johnson to my Master, 1602." In 1599 a small band of London merchants had met together to discuss the corporate schéma of the East India Company. On April 10, 1606 Cecil and King James I had formulated a patent for The Virginia Company, and on December 10 were ready for the voyage. On April 16 the voyagers sighted a point, which they named Cape Henry in honor of the Prince of Wales. On May 13 they named their landing Jamestown. In 1609 Robert Johnson published 'Nova Brltania', setting forth the charms of Virginia, its fertility, its stores of minerals and timber, of silk and furs. Devious coertion and profit to the stockholders can be read into his statement, "the swarms of idle persons, which having no means of labour to relieve their misery, do likewise swarme in lewde and naughty practices so that if we seeke not some waies for their foreign employment, we must provide shortly more prisons and corrections for their bad conditions". Nova Britania is a scholarly treatise, somewhat verbose, and obviously the product of a man with a large cultural 'basic body of facts'! It is enjoyable reading in its entirety. By the year of 1610 the news of the misfortunes in Virginia had reached England. The Company were utterly disheartened. The adventurers became remiss in paying for their shares. The funds of the Company ran short and the profits failed. The young Robert Johnson had been a loyal follower of Sir Thomas Smith, and as Deputy-Treasurer shared in the criticism directed against Smith, both from failing profits and the humanitarian neglect of the Jamestown colonists. The first opposition from Cecil and King James I was upon the election of a successor to Sandys, whose term expired in May, 1620. A message came from court.ordering that a successor be one of the following four: Sir Thomas Smith, Alderman Robert Johnson, Sir Thomas Roe or Mr. Abbot. Smith was now the open enemy of a majority of the Company (lack of profit). Robert Johnson was his loyal Deputy-Treasurer. Abbot was an obscure merchant but a Scotsman. Roe was an intimate friend of Sir Thomas Smith. Robert Johnson by now was one of the foremost enemies of the company, who lodged a petition with the Privy Council alleging defects in the management of the Company, which resulted in the retention of Argall, Robert Johnson, Pory and Sir Thomas Smith. It is reported that Robert Johnson went to Virginia in 1619 on the ship 'Margaret and John', took with him his father Sir Robert Johnson who had resigned the Prebendary of Sutton Regiscura Buckingham and his relative Thomas Johnson of St. Giles Holborne who inherited stock in the Virginia Company from his father, in an effort to obtain approbation by the colonists for the management of the Company. I have found no record of such sailing, and careful scrutiny of the attendance records of the Company do not indicate his absence from their meetings. History does record that "certain of the Commissioners had landed in Virginia and with a view to entrap the Assembly into sanctioning their proceedings but the snair was laid in vain", and encouraged the Crown to act against the Company. In July 1623 the Attorney and Solicitor-General recommended that the King take the government of the Colony, and in October this was done. Had Robert Johnson remained as loyal to Cecil as to Smith? The 'Magazine' was organized as a purchasing agent for Virginia tobacco and other items, and Robert Johnson was accused of purchasing tobacco and sassafras at less than market. He did, however always preserve the approbation of stockholders in the Virginia Company by being always ready to sell for stockholders, their equity, to a relative, friend or Scotsman. The acquisition of the Virginia Company by the King was probably more an act of greed than punishment of the officers. Robert Johnson organized and supervised the 'lottery' for the benefit of the colonies, and it is possibly coincidental that one of the larger 'prizes' was won by his relative 'Archdeacon Robert Johnson of North Luffenham,' who 'deemed it ungodly for a Clergy to win at a gamble' and he turned the money back into the treasury, for churches and schools in Virginia. How the money was used is not known, but it must have aided in keeping the Company solvent. Sir John Johnson, elder brother of Alderman Robert, married Elizabeth Munday, whose father edited the 'Visitation' series of heraldry books, and fortunately preserved many accounts of the Johnson connections. Robert Johnson, 2nd son of Sir John continued the brokerage of Virginia Company shares, as did his nephew Robert Johnson (Grocer), informer on Robert Ferguson (the Plotter) his countryman (Inverurie) and relative. As were his predecessors, Grocer Robert was an ardent Royalist and Anglican. I know not of his fate after Cromwell, but presume that he and his children escaped to Virginia. Alderman Robert Johnson inherited a fine background for education as well as for devious intrigue. His grandmother Margaret Hay came from a family renowned in Scotch military and political history. Her husband, Vicar James Johnston was the last 'Vicar' of Monymusk and was noted for his superior education. The father of Vicar James was Sir Robert Johnston of Cayesmill (Inverurie), First Lord Robert, son of a daughter of Sir John Keith of Auquhorsk. His father was Sir William Johnston, first Lord of Crimond, first to bear the Pheon arms, (Bendauch or Ballandalloch), son of Elizabeth Forbes (Dau. Sir Alexander, 2nd Baron Pitsligo), the second wife of Gilbert Johnston, Laird of Caskieben. When Grocer Robert Johnson was Knighted, his use of the 'Pheon' arms were questioned as not being Cayesmill, but Crimond arms I He then gave evidence that Cayesmill was a Cadet branch of Crimond and they were accepted. Alderman Robert Johnson had an equally illustrious connection through his mother, Janet Johnston, daughter of the celebrated Sir John Johnston, Laird of Caskieben. Agnes, the sister of Janet married Sir Robert Johnston, Laird of Crimond, whose wife was Isobel Boyes (a name familiar to Maryland and Spottsylvanla Co. Va.). The son (William) of Sir Robert and Agnes Johnston was the celebrated Col. William Johnston of the Royalist forces at the 'Brig-o-Dee', defending Aberdeen from the Coventier army. Col. William is called, "the most efficient officer the Royalist cause had during the Civil War. Col. William had learned the art of soldiery in the Protestant army of Gustavus Adolphus against the Roman Catholic League." Three earlier Johnston Lairds had given their lives fighting Stuart wars in Scotland. Notwithstanding, it was probably Cecil rather than King James I, who extended this 17th century favoritism to the Crimond and Cayesmill Johnstons. Rev. John Johnston, first Professor of Theology at St. Andrews College, uncle of Col. William, was frequently called by King James VI to sit in the conference with the Clergy during the Presbyterian opposition to the King following the killing of the Ruthven brothers (the Gowrie conspiracy—brothers with similar kinship to Margaret Tudor). Letters from Rev. John Johnston to Cecil are extant. Rev. John Johnston was friend and schoolmate of James Hamilton, (later Viscount Clanboyne), who placed many Johnstons in responsible positions in the Ulster Plantation of the Virginia Company. "Rev. John Johnston was professor of Divinity at St. Andrews in 1593. When the Annandale Chief was outlawed for the battle of Dryfe Sands, John received a grant of a third of the benefices in Annandale from James VI on condition that he put "Godlie ministers in the parish Kirks". Following this grant, Rev. John Johnston used the seal of Annandale prior to 'Dryfe Sands', a saltire, on a chief three cushions and surmounted by two stars on either side of the letter M(Magister). The initial letters of Johnston's name, I. I. are placed one on either side of the shield. A Star was the crest of the Johnstones of Annandale until Dryfe Sands outlaw action, when it was replaced by a winged spur. It appears that to the man—the Cayesmill and Crimond families left Aberdeenshire for England, Ireland or America during the 17th and 18th centuries. The last act of respect and gratitude toward the parent Caskieben clan was the obtaining for Sir George Johnston, the youthful successor, a grant of 20,000 acres in Nova Scotia and the title of 1st Et. It is certain that he never saw the land, but did appear to enjoy the title. Young George appears to have abandoned the responsibilities of Clan leadership to enjoy the life of 'opulant gentleman'. A later descendant abandoned the motto, 'Vive ut postea Vivas, (live to live again) (in old age) and took the motto, 'Vive ut Vivas' (live to live). Caskieben became Jacobite, and filial descent ended with the execution of Sir John Johnston at Tyburn London on December 23, 1690. The titles of Caskieben then reverted to descendants of Sir John Johnston by his second wife, Katherine Lundy, and the Cadet line of Sir Thomas of Craig, half brother of Sir George 1st Bart. In 1570 James Johnston was the first 'Parson' of Monymusk, which had formerly been a Monastic establishment under the Augustinian Priory of St. Andrews, of which Monymusk was a cell. James Johnston, of Cayesmill married Margaret Johnston, sister of Sir William and Margaret (Hay) Johnston, Laird of Caskieben. Margaret Johnston was aunt to Sir John Johnston, and Drs. Arthur and William Johnston, who's oil portraits still hang in Marischal College. The eminance of Parson James Johnston doubtless was the origin of the Episcopalian faith of succeeding generations of Crimond and Caismill Cadet lines, which initiated the intense favoritism by James VI and Charles I. Vicar James Johnston was father of Sir Robert Johnston, (who married Janet Johnston of Caskieben) and Sir Robert has been noticed as having had the Prebend of Sutton Regiscum Buckingham, and was the father of Alderman Robert Johnston, Deputy Treasurer of the Virginia Company and author of Nova Britannia. Parson James Johnston doubtless converted the powerful Forbes family, who were the protectors of the Protestant faith during the deflection from Catholicism in Aberdeenshire. In 1606 King James appointed Rev. Peter Blackburn, to be the Kings Bishop of Aberdeen, being also Minister of Aberdeen and Regent of Marischal College. Peter Blackburn was brother-in-law to Sir John Johnston of Caskieben, and probably aided in securing the grant of 10,000 acres in Nova Scotia for his nephew, the youthful Sir George Johnston, Bt. of Nova Scotia. George Johnston of Caskieben, (father of Dean of Guild Thomas Johnston of 1618 & 1620) was one of "the Barons of the North" who at Aberdeen, in September 1574, subscribed the obligation, or bond, to continue faithful subjects to the youthful King James VI, of Scotland. George was the third and youngest son of James Johnston Of That Ilk and his spouse, Clara Barclay, daughter of the Laird of Gartly in Strathbogie. He graduated from Kings College. The first half of the century that was fatal to the Church of Rome in Scotland, saw in 1542 The Earl of Arran, then Governor of Scotland sign the charter of the 'Priory Lands' which legaliied the possession taken of them by Duncan Forbes, the First Forbes of Monymusk, who built his ca3tle with the stones of the raonastary. His son Duncan Forbes II married Margaret Johnston, si»ter to Dr. Arthur Johnston, who, upon the death of his first'wife appointed in 1623 Duncan Forbes, his son John Forbes, and Gilbert Johnston of Frosterhill (Dr. Johnston's own brother) to bè guardians to his then children: James; Ludovick; Nicholas; George; Mary and Susannah, while Dr. Johnston went to London as private physician to the King. Duncan Forbes, husband to Margaret was Laird of Lethinty in the Garioch, and of Balnagask in the Mearns. The exploit, "The Trot of Turriff" saw the Forbes, Frasers and other nobles, under the direction of Col. William Johnston, harry the Covenanter meeting, following which they marched to Aberdeen, which they held until the Covenanting army was marched there. The Aberdeenshire Royalists gave up the contest and fled by land and sea to the King, who was at Berwick. Some stopned at Edinburgh, Dundee or Perth. Others passed Sterling for Glascow or the 'Ulster Plantation1 of Alderman Robert Johnston. By decree of the Covenantors an Episcopalian or Catholic was, upon alligation by an individual, deprived of his property and upon evidence by trial, executed. Barbara Johnston, younger sister to Drs. Arthur and William Johnston, married Robert Elphinston of Glack, which Property they had possessed since 1499. Upon their marriage, Sir John Johnston of Caskieben gave to Ms young sister the property of Kinbroun and Eadechask' as a dower, which properties had been given to Steven de Johnston by his father-in-law de Garviach. During the religious civil war, the Elphinstones were of the Royalist party in politics. Helen Johnston, youngest sister of Sir John Johnston of Caskieben married Laird Spense of Boddom, and her son James Spense was Vicar of Insch, a Royalist and married to a Leslie, of New Leslie. Jean Johnston, sister to Dr. Arthur Johnston, married Sir Thomas Johnston of Middle Disblair. His father George was one of the Barons of the North who subscribed allegiance to the youthful King James VI in 1574, and his mother was the daughter of Sir Thomas Menjies of Pitfoddals, Marischal-depute of Scotland and from 1543 comptroller of the Royal household. The mother of the above mentioned 'Jean' Johnston, Christian Forbes, was the daughter of William 7th Lord Forbes, who was Gentleman of the Bed Chamber for James V. When the Banqueting House of Whitehall was erected, it was little thought that James was constructing a passage from it for his son and successor, Charles I, to the scaffold. This unfortunate monarch was the prey of two contending parties: "the Independents, whose descendants still survive in the various sects now called Calvinlstic Methodists; and the Presbyterians, who are now including the Unitarians, Arians, and General Baptists. The first of these parties was bent on the Kings destruction; the latter wished to save him, and eventually brought about the restoration of Charles II, though they could not succeed in saving the life of his father. The rebellious army had the support of the Independents; but it should not therefore be concluded that the King had the cordial support of the Presbyterians, whom nothing would satisfy but the abolution of the episcopacy, though they do not seem to have wished this at the expense of their monarch's life". The Independents wished to abolish all kingly authority and establish a Commonwealth, and they contrived to prevent any reconciliation until Cromwell was sufficiently strong to allow them to act with the necessary vigour against their enemies—the Scots, the Royalists and the Presbyterians. On January 19, 1649 the King was tried, and the death sentence was carried out on the 30th, on a scaffold in front of the Banqueting House of Whitehall. Reference to the emmigration charts will locate the fate of many of these Scotch Rovalists--the political favorites of the proceeding generation. Only one generation is lacking, between the 'Visitations' of Munday and the emmigration lists,to establish accurate genealogical connections. TABLE OP CONTENTS PAGE

JOHNSTON of CASKIEBEN, now of that Ilk.
THIS is one of the most ancient families of the name of Johnston, and have always competed with the Johnstons of Annandale for the chiefship. They have been long designed de eodem, or of that ilk ; which appellation generally denotes head or chief of a clan. At what time they settled in the north, we cannot precisely tell, but in an old genealogical history of this family, in the custody of the present Sir William Johnston of that ilk, the first mentioned is, I. '''STEPHEN de JOHNSTON''', who lived in the reign of king David Bruce, and is said to have been a brother of the laird of Johnston in Annandale. He was a man of parts and learning, and having retired from the troubles in the south, went to the north, and was kindly received by Thomas carl os Mar, then one of the greatest men in the kingdom, who made him his principal secretary. He married Margaret, daughter and heiress of Sir Andrew Garrioch of Caskieben knight, with whom he got a considerable estate, ''viz''. the lands and baronies of Caskieben, Crimond,Cordyce,&c. Also the lands of Kinbrown, and some others, which he called Johnston, after his own name. Caskieben became then the chief title of his family ; and of him all the Johnstons in the north are said to have been descended. By the said Margaret Garrioch he had a son,
II. '''JOHN JOHNSTON''' of Caskieben, who succeeded him, and was also proprietor of the lands of Ballindallach. He married Marjory Lighton, daughter of the laird of Owfan in Angus, by whom he had a fon, ''Gilbert'', his heir. He lived to a great age, died in the reign of king James I. and was succeeded by his son,
III. '''GILBERT de JOHNSTON''', who, in his father's lifetime, was designed by the title of Ballindallach. He got a leafe from Henry bishop of Aberdeen, ''Gilberto de Johnston, &c. totam villam de Bisshape, Clyntre, &c.'' for all the days of his life, for payment of a merk Scots yearly, dated 10th November 1430. He married, 1st, Elizabeth Vass,[also rendered as Vaus] daughter of the laird of Meny, by whom he had a son,
''Alexander,'' his heir,—and three daughters,
1. _____ married to the laird of Birkenbog.
2. _____ married to the laird of Blackhall.
3. _____ married to William Hay of Artrachie, and had issue.
He married, 2dly, a daughter of Sir Alexander Forbes, second baron of Pitsligo, (Omitted in the Peerage, page 557.)[*1] by whom he had a son, ''William,'' who got from, his father the lands of Ballindalhich; the superiority whereof was retained in the family. He married and had issue. (Laird of Crimond) He was succeeded by his eldest son,
IV. '''ALEXANDER JOHNSTON''' of Caskieben, who, in the reign of king James II. got his lands of Caskieben, which formerly held of the earls of Mar, erected into a free barony, to be called the barony of Johnston in all time coming; and from thence this family were designed Johnstons of that ilk. He married Agnes, daughter of — Glaifler of Glack, by whom he had four sons
1. ''William,'' his heir.
2. Also called ''William,'' married a daughter of John Keith of Auguarsk, of whom the Johnstons of Cayes-mill are descended.
The other two sons left no succession.
He died in the reign of king James III. and was succeeded by his eldest son,
V. '''WILLIAM JOHNSTON''' of that ilk, who got a charter under the great seal, from king James IV. ''Willielmo Jjohnston de eadem, terrarum de Ballindach, &c. in Aberdeenshire'', dated 18th August 1508. He married first, Margaret, daughter of — Meldrum of Fyvje, by whom he had one son, ''James,'' his heir,—and a daughter,
''Margaret,'' married to a son of Blackball of that ilk. He married, 2dly, Margaret Lumsdain, a daughter of the laird of Conland in Fife, progenitor of the Lumsdains of Cuthnie, in the north; by her he had another son,
''Gilbert Johnston'',—and two daughters.
1. ''Christian'', married to the laird of Carnday.
2. ''Margaret'', married to William Forbes of Feingzas, and had issue. This William was a man of fortitude and resolution; he accompanied king James IV. to the fatal field of Floudon, where he lost his life with his royal master, anno 1513, and was succeeded by his eldest son, VI. '''JAMES JOHNSTON''' of that ilk, who married Clara, daughter of _____ Barclay of Gartlie, and got a charter under the great seal from king James V. ''Jacobo Johnston de eodem, et Clara Barclay ejus sponse, de tutis et integris terris dominicalibus de Johnston, cum molendino earund. ac etiam totis et integris terris de Inglistoun, &c. jacen. in baronia de Johnston, in vicecomitatu de Aberdeen,[*2] dated 6th September 1521.

(XII).—Sir JOHN JOHNSTON of Newplace (afterwards) Caskieben, fourth Knight Baronet of Johnston. He was a merchant in Aberdeen (Q. App.), and succeeded to the honours of the family on the death of his unfortunate kinsman, anno 1690. He does not appear, however, to have assumed the title for several years after it opened to him. In the Index to the Records of the Great Seal, anno 1700, there appears a charter of resignation in favour of John Johnston of Caskieben, of the lands and barony of Caskieben, in Aberdeenshire.* • The old estate of Caskieben (now Keith-hall), was at this date out of the Johnstons' possession (P. App.). It is believed that this baronet, upon taking up the title, anno 1700, and receiving the Crownl-charter mentioned in the text, changed the name of his lands of Newplace to Caskieben. Page 12 CURIOUS TRIALS CONNECTED WITH THE ARISTOCRACY. [*11]
XIX. THE ADDUCTION OF MISS WHARTON, AN HEIRESS, BY Sir JOHN JOHNSTON, BART. IT is difficult to now find a detailed account of this extraordinary affair, which created a great sensation at the time it occurred. The parties im[plic]ated, as well as the lady injured, were all persons of consequence. The unhappy fate of Sir John Johnston presents a sad record of the bloodthirsty nature at that period of our criminal code. Of course, it is hardly necesssary to remark that now-a-days, abduction is not punishable by death but by transportation or imprisonment. Sir John Johnston, was the scion ,and knightly representative of the family of Johnston of that Ilk, and of Caskieben, in the shire of Aberdeen. The surname of Johnston is of great antiquity in Scotland, and must be familiar to every one conversant with the history of that kingdom. The [vise]age of this race was of old proverbially honourable ;—in the ancient [...] on the characters of Scottish families, to this day popular in some [parts] of the country, they are designed "The gentle Johnstons." The two families of Johnston of that Ilk, and of Caskieben. and Johnston of that Ilk in Annandale, long disputed the title to the chiefship of the name. The pretensions of the latter proceeded on the assumption that Stephen de Johnston, the founder of the family of Caskieben, was a cadet of the Annandale branch, while the Johnstons of Caskieben, always maintained that he was the head or chief of the name. On this point, Douglas, in the Peerage of Scotland, merely says, "There were two families of this surname, who both designed themselves by the [...]. of that Ilk, viz. those of Annandale in the south, and Caskieben in the north; but we cannot pretend to connect them with one another." In the Baronage, however, in treating of the family of Caskieben, he [says] "They have been long designed de eodem, or of that Ilk, which ap[plicat]ion generally denotes head or chief of a clan." ' George Johnston, the grandfather of Sir John, the subject of the trial [was] created a Knight Baronet of Nova Scotia, by Charles I, and was a [...h] cavalier. The grandson, Sir John Johnston, was the third [baron]net. Playfair, in his Baronetage, thus speaks of Sir John Johnston, and his "[unfort]unate participation in the abduction. Sir John Johnston, the third baronet, entered early into the army, and [...g] served in King William's wars in Flanders, was afterwards a captain [... ] that monarch at the battle of the Boyne. He had the misfortune, to [...] his friend, the Honourable Captain James Campbell, in carrying off and marrying Miss Mary Wharton, a young and rich heiress, related to Lord Wharton, the great favourite of King William, who obtained a proclamation, offering a reward for apprehending them. Campbell escaped into Scotland ; Sir John was not so fortunate, for he was betrayed by his landlord, for fifty pounds, tried at the Old Bailey, condemned, and executed in December, 1690, although it appeared upon his trial, by the evidence of the clergyman who performed the marriage ceremony, and the people of the house in which they lodged, and where they remained two days, as well as by Miss M. Wharton's own letter to her aunt, acquainting her of her marriage, that there was no force used, but that she freely consented to it. His defence and whole deportment upon the occasion were, very affecting; ho was a brave man, and certainly fell a sacrifice to the times. "The marriage was dissolved by act of Parliament, and Captain Campbell, afterwards designed of Mamore, married in Scotland, and became the father of General Campbell, afterwards Duke of Argyle. Sir John Johnston, having never been married, was succeeded by his cousin and heir male, John, son of his uncle John, of New Place." Playfair is not correct in calling Captain Campbell the Campbell of Mamore. Campbell of Mamore was his elder brother. Douglas, in his " Peerage of Scotland," gives, as follows, the right account of this Captain James Campbell, who carried off Miss Wharton. "The Hon. James Campbell of Burnbank and Boquhan, fourth son of Archibald, ninth Earl of Argyll, was, on the 17th of May, 1685, confined in the Castle of Edinburgh, that he might not join his father. On the 4th of November, 1690, he, with the assistance of Archibald Montgomery, and Sir John Johnston of Caskieben, in Aberdeenshire. Bart., forcibly carried off Mary, daughter of Sir George Wharton, a girl of thirteen, with an estate of £1500 per annum, from her mother's house in Great Queen Street, and had the ceremony of marriage performed, and passed with her two nights. The marriage was annulled by act of Parliament, which received the royal assent, 20th December, 1690 ; and Sir John Johnston was executed at Tyburn for abetting the abduction, on the 23rd of the same month. Mr. Campbell escaped, was a captain of dragoons, afterwards attained the rank of colonel, and was elected member of Parliament for Campbelltown, 1708. He married the Hon. Margaret Lesley, third daughter of David, first Lord Newark, and ha 1 issue. One of his daughters, Anna, was born at Edinburgh, 18th December, 1696 ; his daughter, Mary, left her estate of Boquhan, in Stirlingshire, to her cousin General Henry Fletcher, of Salton ; and male descendants of his body are in existence." In the continuation of Rapin's History of England, the following notice is taken of this event. " During this session of Parliament [...](William and Mary) happened an incident which made a great noise. Captain James Campbell, brother to the Earl of Argyll, assisted by Mr. Archibald Montgomery and Sir John Johnston, on the 14th November, forcibly seized on Miss Mary Wharton, daughter and heir of Sir George Wharton, a fortune, it is said, of £50,000, and about thirteen years of age. She was carried away from her relations in Great Queen Street, and married against her will. "The next day, his majesty issued his royal proclamation, for ap[re]hending Mr. Campbell and "the abettors of this unwarrantable action Page 13 and Sir John Johnston being apprehended, was tried, condemned, and executed at Tyburn, notwithstanding great application was made to the King and the relations of the bride to save his life; which was thought the harder, as it appeared upon his trial, Miss Wharton had given evident proofs that the violence Captain Campbell used was not so much against her will as her lawyers endeavoured to make it. Not long before this there was a bill brought into the House of Commons to prevent clandcstine marriages, which it was thought this incident would have accelerated, but it was dropped. However, another bill was brought into the House of Commons on the 4th day of December, to render void the marriage between Miss Wharton and Mr. Campbell, which, notwithstanding the Earl of Argyll petitioned against it, passed both houses the 13th of December." Sir John Johnston, as above mentioned, was tried for this abduction at the Old Bailey, on the 11th of December, 1690. The evidence was in substance, tliat Miss Mary Wharton, being an heiress of considerable fortune, and under the care of her guardian. (Mr. Bierly,) was decoyed out on the 10th of November, and being met with by Sir John Johnston, Captain Campbell, and Mr. Montgomery, in Queen Street, was forced into a coach with six horses, (appointed to wait there by Captain Campbell,) and carried to the coachman's house, and there married to Captain Campbell, against the consent of herself, or knowledge of her guardian. The jury having found the prisoner guilty, he received sentence of death. At the place of execution, Sir John addressed the spectators in a long speech, in which he not only endeavoured to make it appear he was blameless in the transaction for which he suffered, but that he had been greatly wronged bv printed papers, in which be was charged with other ofences. He was executed at Tyburn, the 23rd of December, 1690. Miss Wharton afterwards married Colonel Bierly, who commanded a regiment of horse in the service of William III. The following ballad, entitled " Captain Johnstoun's Last Farewell", was composed, it is believed, the year after Sir John's death. As already stated, the hero of the piece had been betrayed by a treacherous landlord. Good people all, where'er you be,
That bear my dismal doom,
Have some regard to pity me,
Who now, alas ! am come
To die an ignominious death,
As it doth well appear,
For I declare, with my last breath,
Your laws are most severe. In Scotland I was bred, and born,
Of noble parents there,
Good education did adorn
My life, I do declare.
No crime did e'er my conscience stain,
Till I had ventured here,
Thus have 1 reason to complain,
Your laws are most severe. In Flanders I have faced the French,
And likewise in Ireland,
Still eagerly pursued the chase,
With valiant heart and hand:
Why was I not in battle slain,
Rather than suffer here
A death which mortals do disdain? Your laws are most severe. I did not hurt or wrong intend
I solemnly protest,
But merely to assist a friend
I granted his request—
To free his lady out of thrall,
His joy and only dear,
And now my life must pay tor all—
Your laws are most severe. In coming to my native land
At this unhappy time,
Alas ! I did not understand
The nature of the crime ;
I therefore soon did condescend,
As it doth well appear,
Wherein I find 1 do offend—
Your laws are most severe. In the same lodgings where I lay,
And lived at bed and board,
My landlord did my life betray
For fifty pounds reward;
And being into prison cast,
Altho' with conscience clear,
I was arraigned at the last —
Your laws are most severe. This ladye would not hear my moan,
While dying words I sent;
Her cruel heart, more hard than stone,
Would not the least relent;
But triumphing in my wretched state,
As I do often hear,
I fall here by the band of fate —
Your laws are most severe. Will not my good and gracious king
Be merciful to me ?
Is there not in his breast a spring
Of princely elemeneic ?
No ! not for me, alas ! I die —
My hour is drawing near —
To the last minute I will cry,
Your laws are most severe. Farewell, dear countrymen (said he)
And this tumultuous noise,
My soul shall now transported be
To mote celestial joys:
Tho' in the blossom of my youth,
Pale death I do not fear,
Unto the last I speak the truth—
Your laws are most severe. Alas ! I have not long to live,
And therefore now, (said he,)
All those that wronged me I forgive,
As God will pardon me:
Mv landlord and his subtle wife
I do forgive them here ;
Farewell this transitory life—
Your laws are most severe. 336(page#?) MUSGRAVE'S OBITUARY.

Sir John Johnston was a loyal subject to the family of Stuart, and was, like many of his countrymen, strenuously opposed to the union between Scotland and England. On the effort being made, anno 1715, to place James, son of King James VII., on the throne, Sir John, and as many of his relations and retainers as he could draw together, joined the standard of the Prince, under the Earl of Mar. (Erskine)[*12] He was present at the battle of Sheriffmuir ; on which occasion was also present his son John Johnston, younger of that Ilk, who was slain fighting by his father's side. Sir John himself, a few years thereafter, sunk into the grave, broken-hearted—his hopes frustrated—and his family extinct. He died in the end of the year 1724, and lies in the burial-place of the Johnstons in the church-yard of St. Nicholas. He was succeeded in the chiefship and title by his kinsman, William Johnston of Craig, advocate in Aberdeen. Sir John followed the fortunes of Prince James in 1715, and was present at the battle of Sheriffmuir, where his only son was killed by his side. The bereaved father, not venturing to go home, retired to Edinburgh, where he died 1724. At the Battle of Sherrifsmuir, it is reported that upon the death of his son, Sir John ordered his unarmed, untrained relatives to flee to the hills, as he did. Unable to return home and face trial as a 'traitor', Sir John concealed himself in Edinburgh, where he died 1724. Many of his retainers were captured and killed, but those for whom there was 'expectation of ransom' were "Barbadoized", -- sent to Ulster or America. Known captives include: JOHNSTON, John. Jacobite prisoner. Transported to Virginia on Elizabeth & Anne, ex Liverpool, 29 June, 1716. (S.P./C; S.N.Q., Lv, 187) 2551

Thus ended the distinguished 'heir-male' descent from Stephen de Johnston. Sir George Johnston had at age 23 morgaged the entire properties for a pittance, which he had no prospect of ability for repayment and the property was in 1633 defalted to Alexander Jaffray. (see pp.126 Vol.1) In 1625 George was created 1st.Baronet of Nova Scotia, probably through the influence of Sir Robert Johnston, of Cayesmile, his brother-in-law, who went to London in the train of King James VI, and who possessed the Prebend of Sutton Regisoum Buckingham in England. Sir George Johnston, 2nd Bt. of Nova Scotia was father of on[e] child, Sir John, executed 1690.
In the following pages it will be observed that compliance with the 'establishment' is frequently rewarding, and that opposition can be fatal. One must, however, be alert to anticipate the successor. The Royalist families of Crimond and Cayesmill were richly rewarded until Cromwell, when they then ignominously fled to America. Alderman Robert Johnson Treasurer of the Virginia Co. was succeeded by Robert Ferguson in directing their fate, then, not to New England and Virginia, but to Carolina. Laird John Johnston, younger brother of Sir George 2nd Bt. received from his childless uncle, John, of New Place, (Newplace having been possessed 1621 by a defalted morgage from his brother George lst.Bt.) and he was father to Sir John 4th Bt., who lost Newplace to his fathers creditors 1707, and who lead his clan to defeat at Sheriffsmuir 1715. In 1700 he had changed the name of Newplace to the historic name of The title of 5th Bt. of Nova Scotia then went to the grandson of Sir Thomas Johnston of Craig, son of Katherine Lundy, and Sir William Johnston 5th Bt. lost Craig by bankruptcy. His son William, 6th Bt. lived his life in London, having married Elizabeth Cleland, and in later life bought Hilton, then near Aberdeen, now a Street to Dyce Airport. William Johnston, 7th Bt. married Mary Bacon, died at 'The Hague' and caused the bankruptcy of his son Sir William Bacon Johnston, 8th Bt.,who lived at Middlesex England. Sir William, 9th. Bt. died 1917 unmarried, and terminated again the 'heir-male' line of Thomas of Craig, Cadet line of Craig, from Katherine Lundy and Sir John Johnston of Caskieben. Descent then reverted to collateral descendants from William Johnston 6th Bt., who bought Hilton 1750 and who died 1770. The present seat of the clan is in Mobile Ala. EVE OF THE C0VENTANT "When Scotland, from the Solway Firth to Caithness, gave adherence to the Solemn League and Covenant, the City of Aberdeen and most part of the County persistently refused to accept it. The consequence was that Aberdeenshire, and, in a marked degree, its central district, the Garioch, became a principal theatre of the " troubles." which were too soon succeeded elsewhere by events of an appalling nature. The Civil War begun its afterwards tragic course, with some plundering in the Garioch. A portion of the local ministers soon afterwards found themselves, in prison; and the exercise of ecclesiastical discipline, on account of the political question of the Covenant, brought on, in that district, a social struggle of ten years' duration. Aberdeenshire had not had so much reason as some other parts of Scotland to be discontented with the Presbyterian Episcopacy, which had been the form of the National Church since the Reforrnaiion, with the exception of the years between 1592 and 1606. The Bishops of Aberdeen whom King James had added to the Presbyterian Synod of the Church had been men of good sense; and it is likely that they had exercised their functions with better understanding and acceptance, that after 1606, they belonged to or were connected with local families. The first of the new line of Bishops introduced at that date was Mr. Peter Blackburn, already well known as an Aberdeen clergyman, and one of the original Regents of the Earl Marischal's new College. Bishop Blackburn cultivated popularity—although not with complete success-by abstaining trom exacting his Episcopal dues. His successor Alexander Forbes, bishop from 1615 to 1618, was a son of the laird of Ardmurdo, in the parish of Kinkell. After him an exceptionally worthy prelate had been appointed— Patrick Forbes—himself the laird of Corse, in Coult parish, and who, from 1618 to 1635, fulfilled the duties of his prominent position with the most beneficial results to his diocese ; in especial, by his government of the two universities under his care, conferring such benefit upon the community as made hia name worthy to be connected with that of the originator of university education in the North. Bishop Patrick Forbes had found both Bishop Elphinstone's and the Earl Marischal's Colleges in a disorganised condition, and nurtured them back into such efficiency as for long placed Aberdeen before the other University seats in Scotland. He was paralytic for several years before his death, and able only to bo carried to church or to preside in the Synod ; and he died on Easter Eve, 1635, two years before the first private conferences began which resulted in the Solomn League and Covenant. Of the local families, the Leslies, Leiths, Urquharts, Setons, Abercrombys, and Gordons, were avowed, or concealed Papists. The Elphinstons and Johnstons were supporters of the King in the political struggle. Sir George Johnston was out of bis estate, and doss not appear in the troubles, except as subscribing the Covenant, at the instance of the Presbytery, for the second time, about 1630. Hia uncle. Dr. Arthur Johnston, was Rector of King's College in 1637, but it is likely was not, at that time, permanently resident in Aberdeenshire. On the Covenanting side, at the beginning of the troubles, the leaders in the Garioch were the old hereditary antagonists of the Marquis of Huntly— the Forbeses, of whom the lairds of Monymusk and Leslie were at that time persons of means and influence. Pitsligo, Tolquhon, and Echt were always along with these,—their recognised chief being the Master of Forbes, one of the soldiers of fortune of the time, trained in the Swedish army. A prominent individual on the Covenanting side in the Garioch. when in 1639 open strife first began by an appeal to arms, was the Knight of Craigievar, Sir William Forbes, made a Baronet of Nova Scotia by Charles I in 1630. He was nephew of the good Bishop, Dr. Patrick Forbes of Corse, but became the most active oppressor of those wno sympathised with the Bishop's sentiments and sought to defend the King's position, in the country. He died before the tragic conclusion of the Civil War. The Solemn League and Convenant, evoked by the King's introducing the Service Book prepared by Archbishop Laud, was the national protest against his confirmation of Episcopacy in a strict form, of which that book was a symbol. The Covenant was first signed upon the first day of March, 1638, by a multitude of all classes, upon tables erected in the churchyard of the Greyfriars in Edinburgh ; and committies of nobles, lairds, and ministers were appointed to carry it to different parts of the country for the signature of the whole nation. One of the clerical commissioners who perambulated the North was Mr. Andrew Cant, the first parish minister, of Pitsligo, in Buchan, an individual typical of the period, and afterwards much recorded in its annals. The marvellous success which attended those commissions Apostles of the Covenant as they were termed-was partly due to the forsight of the Earl of Rothes the head of the Protestant branch of the greet House of Leslie, the junior B[alquha]in branch whereof continued partly to be Roman Catholic. The Earl of Rothea had before the outbreak sent for his kinsman, Field-Marshal Leslie, from the Queen of Sweden's service, and secured his co-operation in the national rising then anticipated. That distinguished soldier was an iliegitimate descendant of the .New Leslie branch ol the House of Balquhain. Page 16
EARL MARISCHAL
On the return of Queen Mary from Kranca in August, 1561, he was sworn one of the lords of her privy council. He took an active part in all questions respecting religion, and in the General Assembly which met at Edinburgh in December 1563, he was one of the committee appointed to revise ihe Book of Discipline. He did not, however, interfere much in political matters, and when the nation came to be divided against itself, on the death of Darnley and the imprisonment of the queen, he retired to his castle of Dunnottar, on the sescoast of Kincardineshire, whence he so seldom stirred that he acquired the name of William of the Tower. So extensive was his landed property at that time that his yearly rental amounted to 270,000 marks. It was situated in so many different counties that it is said he could travel from Bewick to the northern extremity of Scotland, eating his meals and sleeping every night on his own estates. (Douglas Peerage, vol.ii. p. 192.) He died 7th October 1581. By his countess, Margaret, (daughter and co-heiress of Sir William Keith of Inveragie, Banffshire, he had, wilh seven daughters, two sens, William, Lord Keith, and Robert, Lord Altrie. (See vol. i. p. 122.) William, Lord Keith, the elder son, was taken prisoner, in an inroad into England in 1553 and placed in the custody of the earl of Northumberland, but allowed to go home in December 1559 on bond. The exorbitant sum of .£2.000 was demanded for his ransom. He died 10th August 1580, leaving four sens and four daughters. His eldest son, George, fifth earl Marischal, the founder of Marischal College, Aberdeen, succeeded his grandfather in October 1581. Of this nobleman a memoir is given at page 583 of vol. ii. His eldest son William, succeeded as sixth earl on his death, April 2, 1623. The latter was a member of the Scottish privy council, under Charles I., and in 1634, he fitted out a fleet which he sent to Uladislaus VII king of Poland. He died 28th October 1685, leaving four sons and three daughters. The two eldest sous, William and George, succeeded as seventh and eighth earls. John, the fourth son, was the first earl of Kintore. (See: KINTORE, earl of, vol. ii. page 611.) William, seventh earl, was a staunch Covenanter. When the earl of Montrose, in March 1639, went to Aberdeen to force the covenant on the inhabitants of that city, the earl Marischal. according to Spalding, had one of the five colours var[...] ied by his well appointed army on that occasion. Sonictime after its departure to the south, the Covenanters of the north appointed a committee meeting to be held at Turriff, a small town in Aberdeenshire, on the 24th April, consisting of the earls Marischal and Seafurth, the Lord Fraser, the Master of Forbes, and some others. The meeting was afterwards postponed till the 26th of April, and subsequently adjourned lo Aberdeen, to be held on the 20th of May. A body of about 2,000 Covenanters having assembled at Turriff as early as the 18th, the Gordons resolved to attack them before they should be joined by more, and having surprised them on the morning of the 14th, they were soon dispersed, and a few taken prisoners. The loss on either side in killed and wounded was very trifling. This skirmish is called by the writers of the period, "the Trot of Turray," and is distinguished as the place where blood was first shed in the civil wars. Marching to Aberdeen, the Gordons expelled the Covenanters from the town, and being joined there by a larger force, they sent John Leith of Harthill and William Lumsden, advocate in Aberdeen, to Dunnottar. for the purpose of ascertaining the sentiments of the earl Marischal, in relation to their proceedings, and whether they might reckon on his friendship. The earl intimated that he would require eight days to advise with his friends. This answer was considered quite unsatisfactory, and the chiefs of the army were at a loss how to act. Robert Gordon of Straloch and James Burnet of Craig[...]ile, a brother of the laird of Leys, proposed to enter into a negotiation with the earl, but Sir George Ogilvy of Banff would nol listen to such a proceeding, and, addressing Straloch, he said, "Go, if you will go; but prythee, let it be as quarter-master, to inform the carl that we are coming." After having had an interview with the carl, Straloch and Burnet returned with the answer that his lordship had no intention to take up arms, without an order from the Tables, as the boards of representatives, chosen respectively by the nobility, country gentry, clergy, and inhabitants of the burghs, were called, that if the Gordons would disperse he would give them early notice to re-assemble, if necessary, for their own defence, but that if they should attack him, he would certainly defend himself. On receiving this answer the Gordons disbanded their army on the 21st May. The depredations of the Highlanders upon the properties of the Covenanters were thereafter carried on to such an extent that the latter complained to the earl, who immediately assembled a body of men out of Angus and the Mearns, with which he entered Aberdeen on the 23d May. Two days afterwards he was joined by Montrose, at the head of 4,000 men, in addition which, with other accessions, made the whole force assembled at Aberdeen exceed 6,000. This army was soon after marched into the Mearns by Montrose. On the approach to Stonehaven from Aberdeen of a royalist force under the Viscount of Aboyne, on the 1 1th June, the earl Marischal posted himself with 1.200 men and some pieces of ordnance from Dunnottar castle, on the direct road which Aboyne had lo pass. As the latter descended the Meagre hill, on the morning of the 15th, the earl opened a heavy fire upon him, which threw his men into complete disorder, and in a short time his whole army gave way. This affair was called " the Raid of Stonehaven." The earl Marischal and Montrose now advanced towards the Dee with all their strength, and as Aboyne was anxious to prevent their passage of that river, a battle took place at the Bridge of Dee, in which the royalisis were defeated and their army obliged to fly. The next day, the 20th June, 1639, the tidings arrived of the pacification of Berwick, concluded two days before, when both parties disbanded their forces. The earl was one of the association which Montrose had formed at Cumbernauld in January 1641, for supporting the royal authority. In September 1644. how ever, he joined the army of the earl of Argyle, on its route to the north, to oppose the royalist forces under Montrose, after the battle of Aberdeen. In the following October he was one of the committee of the Estates sitting in that city, when Montrose entered Angus, and on hearing of his approach, they issued, on the 10th of that month, a printed order, to which the earl Marischal's name was attached, ordaining all persons, of whatever age, sex, or condition, having horses of the value of forty pounds Scots or upwards, to send them to the Bridge of Dee, the appointed place of rendezvous, on the 14th October, with riders fully equipped and armed ; with certification, in case of failure, that each landed proprietor should be fined £1,000; every gentleman not a landed proprietor, £500 Scots; and each husbandman 100 marks, besides confiscation of their horses. The earl was now to find a bitter opponent in his former associate and friend, the marquis of Montrose. The latter took up his quarters at Stonehaven on 19th March 1645, and the following day he wrote a letter to Lord Marischal, who with sixteen ministers and some persons of distinction, had shut himself up in his castle of Dunnottar. In consequence of this refusal, Montrose at once subjected his property to military execution. On the 21st of March, he set fire lo the houses adjoining the castle of Dunnottar, and burnt the grain stacked in the barn-yards. He next set fire in the town of Stonehaven. The lands and houses of Cowie shared the same fate. The woods of Fetterrosso were also burnt, mid the whole, of the lands in the vicinity ravaged. A ship in the harbour of Stonehaven, after being plundered, was also set fire to, wilh all the fishhlng boats The vassals and dependents of the earl crowded before the castle of Dunnottar, and with loud cries of pity, implored him to save them from ruin. No attention was paid to their supplications, and the earl witnessed from his stronghold the total destruction of the properties of his tenants without making an effort to prevent it. He is said, however, deeply to have regretted his rejection of Montrose's proposals, when he beheld the smoke ascending ail around him ; " but the famous Andrew Cant, who was among the number of his ghostly company, edified his resolution at once to its original pitch of firmness, by assuring him that that reek would be a sweet smelling incense in the nostrils of the Lord, rising, as it did. from property which had been sacrificed to the holy cause of the covenant." Page 17 '''LEIGHTON''' From the barony of Leighton in Bedfordshire, England. Robert de Leetun and Symon de Lectun, his brother, witnessed a charter by Peter de Pulloc, c. 1177-99, granting the church of Mernes, Renfrewshire, to the church of S. James of Passelet (Paisley) (RMP., p. 98). William de Lechton who witnessed a charter to Walter de Ross of Rossy in Angus, c. 1260 (RAA., r, p. 337) may be William de Lectona who attested a charier by John de Moravia of lands in Strathbolgy, c. 1284 (REM., p. 462). William de Leghtone. knight, swore realty at Kyngome, Fife, 1291 ( Bain, ii, 508), Sir Thomas de Lighten, deputy chamberlain, 1340 (ER., I, p. 455), and Dimcan de Lychtoun became sheriff locum tenens of Angus 1391 (ER., m, p. 268). Alexander of Lyghton was one of the brothers of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem, 1414 (Bain, iv, 854), Alexander of Lichtoune was landowner in Angus, 1415 '''VAUS''' The family of Vaus was settled at Laner[oost] in Cumberland and were also in posssession of Ashill, Seavington, and Seaborough at the close of the twelfth century. A branch of the English family settled in Scotinnd in the twelfth century and became proprietors of the lands and barony of Dirleton in East Lothian. Little is known, however, of the early history of the family though its members possessed Dirleton for more than two hundred years. John de Vallibus who witnessed a charter by Malcolm iv (LSC, 26) is probably J. de Wall[ibus] who witnessed the grant by William the Lion of a carucate of Hedenham (Edna[..]) to the. Abbey of Kelso, c, 1174-78 (Kelso, p. 302), and the Johannes de Vans (i.e. Vaus), one of the hostages for the ransom of the king in 1174 (Annals, p. 194). Johannes ce Vaus c>: de Vallibus witnessed a charter of the churches of Moffel, etc., to the bishop of Glasgow, c. 1137 (REG., p. 64), ard the gift of "Herd (Errol) to William de Haia before 1214 (SCM., II. p. 303). In the reign of William the Lion, William de Vas attested by Eschina domina de Molle (RMP p. 75] between 1189-99 Evernd de Valli[bu]s witnessed a charter by Robert de L[..][ndon] (SCM iv, p. 243). John de Vallibus, sheriff of Edinburgh between 1214-50 (Neubotle, p.6[...]), is probably Joh de Vallibus who appears as charter witness in the chartularios of Kelso, Neubotle, Camouskenneth, and Levena[..], and the John de Vallibus who gifted a croft in Colyn (Gullane) to the church of St. Andrew of Colyn and the [canons] of Dry[burgh] there. William de Wellibus, 'persona ecclestae de Cengilton' made a gift to the same church (Dryburgh, p. 20, 22, 23) About 1220 William de Vallubus, lord of Dirleton, gave the island if Eibitle (as Fidra was then called) to the Abbey of Dryburgh, and in 1240 Alexander de Vallibus "considerans temporan quam presentiam quam futuronun," released the Abby from the obligation of maintaining a chantry on the island (Dryburgh*) John de Vaus who was present in the convention at Briggeham (Burgham) in 1289 (APS, i, p 441) is doubtless Sir Jonn as Vaus of Edinburghshire who rendered homage in 1296 and had his lands restored to him for his good conduct in the following year (Buin, ii, p. 198,244) His seal shows a bend between two cinquefoils, ''S [...] de Valibus (Macdonald, 2814). The name travelled early to the north, where we find Willelmus Vaws juror on an inquest concerning the episcopal lands of Aldro[...] in 1393. It is also an old surname in Aberdeen. Andrew Vase was burgess there in 14[..] (REA ii, p 294], and John Waus, alderman in 1430 (RMS ii 156). Robert of Vaus was master of the ship ''Nicholas of Aberdene, 1453 (Bain, iv, 1061) and John the Vauss was 'familiar til my lord of Aberdene" 1476 (SCM, v '''BLACKHALL''' From the lands of Blackball regality of Garioch, Aberdeenshire. William de Blackhall who appears on a jury of inquest re[...]ouring William de Tullidaff of Lentush and Rothmaise heir of his father 1395 is apparently the first of the name recorded. William Blackha is recorded in Cromarty, 1407 (Fraser Maclantosh, ''Antiq. Notes,'' 2 ed. p 216) in 142[0] the Blackhalls are mentioned as that Ilk (''de eodem''). The family were hereditary coroners and foresters of the earldom of the Carioch from an early period, probably before the beginning of the fifteenth century. Early in the seventeenth century the family fell into decay and their lands and offices were acquired by the Burnetts who had intermarried with them. See pg. [...] '''GLACK''' From Clack in the parish of Daviot, Aberdeenshire. Aricia de Glak held the lands of Glak in 1381 (REA., I, p 105). '''GLAISTER''' From the old lands of Glaister or Glacester in Angus. The name of the old family was originally 'de Dunde.' Eustace de Glasletter witnessed perambulation of the lands of Conan and Tulloch, 1254 (RAA., I, 3[66]), and Beel de Clacelester witnessed a charter by Cristina de Valoniis c. 1256 (''Pannatre, ii, 141). John de Glasreth ''filius et heredes quondam domini Radulphi de Dunde'' had a receipt for ten marks due him in 1312 (ibid., p. 157; HP, II, p. 116). In 1315 as John de Glassereth, lord of that Ilk, he granted to Dugald Cambel and his wife his lands of Knocnagullaran (OPS., II, p. 45). Gilbert de Glassester mentioned in 1368 as ''dowinus ejusdem'' (Panmure: II, p. 177) in 1371 had a grant from David II of the lands of Edderlings, Cambysenew, etc (RMS, i, App. I[...], 1043), and as Gilbertus de Glascestre had a grant from Robert II of all the lands of Glacestre and castle of the same in the sheriffdom cf Argyll, 1374 (RMS., I, 461). In the first half of the fifteenth century their lands had passed into ihe possesion of the Scrymgeours of Dundee. Murthacus Glastre was admitted burgess of Aberdeen, 144[..] (NSCM., I, p. 8), Murthacus Glastre was one of an assize there in 1448 (ORA., p. 401) and Andrew Glastir the same in 1457 (RAA., Andrew Glasters marriage with the Bishop's niece, Janet Lichten, opens to our observation a little of the family condition of the household of Caskieben. It was then apparently in the second generation of the Johnston name. The marriage contract was signed, on the part of the bride, by Gilbert Johnston of Balnedache, who was, before that time, married to her sister Elene. The deed notes that he "procurit the seal of John of Johnston, his fader, to be put forthi [sic] that he has na seele of his own". We may thence infer that the wearer of the seal--John de Johnston-- was then the Head of the family, and that the Clerk of 1375 was no more. The pedigree of the family contained in the Baronage of Scotland--(Title Johnston of Caskieben, now of that Ilk) records that the John Johnston of Caskieben, the husband of Marjory Lichton, daughter of the Laird of Usan in Angus, by whom he had a son Gilbert his heir, lived to a great age and died in the reign of King James I.; and that Gilbert de Johnston, afterwards of Caskieben, was in his father's lifetime designed by the title of Ballindallach, (Balnedache, now called Bendauch, in Dyce, parish. Bishop Henry (Lichton) of Aberdeen, granted, in 1430 to Gilbert de Johnston, a lease for all the days of his life, of the town of Bishop Clinterty, which is in the close vicinity of Bendauch. The lease or tack of one of the farms then belonging in property to the See of Aberdeen, bears date about a couple of years after the period of the marriage of Andrew Glaster of Glack with the Bishop of Aberdeen's neice--Janet Lichton--the sister-in-law of Gilbert de Johnston. Elene Lichton, wife of Gilbert Johnston, and Janet Lichton the spouse of Andrew Glaster, may very likely have been neices of Marjory Licton the wife of John de Johnston of Caskieben--which Marjory may herself have been the sister of Bishop Henry Lecton, and thus the old Lady of Caskieben had been the mother-in-law, as well as aunt, of Elene. In the pedigree of the Johnstons no mention is made of the marriage of Gilbert de Johnston with Elene Lichton. Gilbert is therein stated to have been twice married; first to Elizabeth Vass or Vaus, daughter of the Laird of Menie, by whom he is said to have had one son Alexander, his heir, and three daughters ; and secondly, to a daughter of Sir Alexander Forbes.

CHIEF OF THE NAME OF JOHNSTON, THE FOLLOWING PAGES ARE RESPECTFULLY INSCRIBED ==PREFACE== SOME explanation may be expected of my reasons for presenting in this form the following account. A taste for genealogical matters having induced me to enter into a minute investigation of the pedigree of the family herein treated of, it was suggested that by putting the result of my inquires within the reach of those connected with the family, an acceptable service would be performed. From the circumstance of having observed in all works which have been recently published, professing to give an account of Scottish families, very imperfect notices of this house, I am more willing to act upon this suggestion than I should otherwise have been* It will be seen from the references on the margin of the text, that the principal sources of information had recourse to by me, for the more remote period, were, a manuscript history of the family, by an unknown author, evidently compiled between the years 1610 and 1614 and which is in the possession of Mr. David Morice Johnston,—the Index of Retours, and the Acts of the Parliament of Scotland,—both published under the direction of the commission appointed in 1806, and the Register of the Great Seal of Scotland,—the references to which are taken from the manuscript index in the Signet Library. Much valuable information was obtained from the account of the family in Douglas' Baronage, and from the " Genealogy of the Family of Forbes," published at Inverness in 1819. From about 1670 to the present time, my authorities (with the works already mentioned) chiefly were,—Playfair's Baronetage of Scotland, parish registers, family papers, inscriptions on tomb-stones, and the testimony of old persons connected with the family, and well versed in its history. My own knowledge of facts and dates was also of some little service. I may observe, that although the branches afterwards treated of, are the only descendants of the Caskieben family known to me, there are existing, in all probability, persons not here taken notice of, whose ancestors may have come off the main stock at a remote period, especially as it is said that of Stephen, the founder of the Caskieben family, all the Johnstons in the north are descended. Such persons it was by no means my intention to exclude from this account; and had any such come under my notice, and been able to produce well authenticated pedigrees, I should have been happy to have given them a place.

APPENDIX. GENEALOGICAL ACCOUNT OF THE FAMILY or JOHNSTON OF THAT ILK, FORMERLY OF CASKIEBEN, &c.
" Few there are who dare trust the memorials of their family to the public annals of their country" GIBBON. Page 1 GENEALOGICAL ACCOUNT ===OF THE FAMILY OF JOHNSTON OF THAT ILK AND OF CASKIEBEN=== IN THE SHIRE OF ABERDEEN _______ THE surname of Johnston is of great antiquity in Scotland, and must be familiar to every one conversant with the history of that kingdom. The lineage of this race was of old proverbially honourable;—in the ancient rhyme on the characters of Scottish families, to this day popular in some parts of the country, they are designed " The gentle Johnstons." In the manuscript history mentioned in the preface, the author thus introduces the subject of his compilation :
"The description of the line of the Lairds of Caskiben, and their alyances, from Stiven Johnstoun, sone to the Laird of Anandail, the first of that surname that possest Caskiben, to John Johnstoun, now heritable possessor thereof.
"Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord, and delighteth greatly in his commandments; his seed shall be mighty upon earth; the generation of the righteous shall be blessed.—Psl. 112. "Albeit God has not so multiplyed the neam of Johnstoun depending of Caskiben, as others that are not so ancient, yet of his great mercy, he has preserved ane continual and unbroken succession by lineal descent in that house, by the space well near of three hundreth years." The two families of Johnston of that Ilk, and of Caskieben, and Johnston of that Ilk in Annandale, long disputed the title _{page 2} to the chiefship of the name. The pretensions of the latter proceeded on the assumption that Stephen de Johnston, the founder of the family of Caskieben, was a cadet of the Annandale branch, while the Johnstons of Caskieben always maintained that he was the head or chief of the name. (A. Appendix.) [''Dougias' Peerage Voce Annandale''][marginalia notations ]
On this point, Douglas in the Peerage of Scotland, merely says, "There were two families of this surname, who both designed themselves by the title of that Ilk, viz. those of Annandale Dougias'Peerage to the chiefship of the name. The pretensions of the latter proceeded on the assumption that Stephen de Johnston, the founder of the family of Caskieben, was a cadet of the Annandale branch, while the Johnstons of Caskieben always maintained that he was the head or chief of the name. (A. Appendix.) On this point, Douglas in the Peerage of Scotland, merely says, " There were two families of this surname, who both designed themselves by the title of that Ilk, viz. those of Annandale in the south, and Caskieben in the north; but we cannot pretend to connect them with one another." [''Dougias' Peerage Voce Annandale''][*1] In the Baronage, however, in treating of the family of Caskieben, he says, " they have been long designed de eodem or of that Ilk, which appellation generally denotes head or chief of a clan."'' We shall therefore, without dwelling longer on this question, (involving, most probably, a point destined never to be fixed), proceed with our account of the family of Caskieben, beginning with Stephen, its supposed founder, who, it is said, arrived in the north in the time of King David Bruce, who reigned from the year 1329 to 1371, but the date of this event has never been settled exactly. [MS. History] I.—STEPHEN' DE JOHNSTON* was a man of great learning, which was so rare in those days that he was honoured with the title of " the Clerk,"—a designation to which, at that period, the clergy alone were considered to be entitled. [ ibid.] "For troubls wherein he fell in his owen countrie, he cam into the north pairt of Scotlande, and was pleasantlie received by the Earle of Marr, to whome hee became secretarie." [ibid.] Stephen married Margaret, daughter and heiress of Sir Andrew Garioch of Caskieben in Aberdeenshire, Knight, by whom he got a large estate, consisting of the lands of Johnston (so named after him), and Kinbroun, during the lifetime of Sir Andrew, after whose death, he, in right of his wife, succeeded to _____
^* This name anciently was spelt de Johnestoune or Johnestoune, afterwards Johnestoun or Johnstoun, and for the last hundred years, it is believed that it has uniformly been written as at present—Johnston. page 3 the lands of Caskieben, Crimond, Cordyce, and others, situated in the parishes of Dyce, and Caskieben or Monkeggy, (now Keithhall,) &c. [Dougias' Peerage]
"Caskieben became then the chief title of his family ; and of him all the Johnstons in the north are said to have been descended." [ MS. History]
"The beams gotten betwixt Stiven and Margret Garioch. (except their successor John), wee know not, neither the beams of their successors to the third generation, because of the great antiquitie and few monuments observed in these dayes." (B. App.) The date of Stephen's death is unknown, but on that event he was succeeded by, [Dougias' Peerage]
II.—JOHN DE JOHNSTON of Caskieben. This gentleman acquired the lands of Ballindauch or Bandauch, in Aberdeenshire. [MS. History.]
He married Marjory, daughter of Leighton of Ulysseshaven or Usan, an ancient family in Angus, and in her right succeeded to the lands of Invertown. [Dougias' Peerage]

3d. Violet, married to Patrick Chalmers, merchant in Banff.
[MS. History]
All these ladies had families by their husbands. _____
* The surname of this proprietor of Strichen is believed to have been Chalmers. The estate of Strichen did not pass into the possession of the Frasers until many years after this marriage is supposed to have taken place. The mode of its acquisition by Thomas Fraser of Knockie, second son of Alexander, sixth Lord Fraser of Lovat, about the year 1500, is particularly mentioned in the historical account of the family of Frisel or Fraaer, by John Anderson, Esq. W. S., published in 1825. Page 7 [MS. History]
This William, a loyal and gallant gentleman, fell, as his grandfather had done, in the cause of his country, on the field of Pinkie, 10th September 1547. [ibid.; Douglas Baronage]

George Johnston of that ilk, dying about the year 1590, was succeeded by his eldest son, [Index of Retours]
IX.—JOHN JOHNSTON of that Ilk. This baron was, on the 19th day of February 1593, served heir to his father George, in the lands of Porterstoun, on the west side of the water of Ury, with the mill thereof, in the regality of the Garioch; in the lands of Kinbroun in the barony of Rothienormond ; in the half of the town and lands of Muirtown; in the shady half thereof; in the town and lands of Monkeggy, and Wester Boyndis, in the barony of Fintray, regality of Lindores, and shire of Aberdeen.

[Reg. Mag. Sig. Lib. 36 No 461]
John had, during the lifetime of his father, a charter of confirmation under the Great Seal, "Joanni Johnstoun apparenti de eodem terrarum de Johnstoun in comitatu de Marr et Garrioch, et vicecomitatu de Aberdene," dated 23d August 1587. [Kennedy's Annals of Aberdeen]
The name of Johnston of Caskieben is in the roll of Spiritual and Great Temporal Barons and Freeholders, obliged to give suit and presence, at the three Head Courts held yearly by the sheriff of Aberdeen, who appeared on 3d October 1598. [MS. History]

[ Ms. History] He married, secondly, Katharine, daughter of William Lundie of that Ilk, in the shire of Fife; and it is by this alliance that all the existing branches of the family of Johnston of that <sub>page 10> Ilk trace their descent from the ancient kings of Scotland. (K. APP) John had by his second wife two sons and two daughters :
[Ibid; Memorandum there annexed]
1st Son: Thomas of Craig, of whom are descended the Johnstons now of that Ilk and of Hilton, the Johnstons in Boginjoss, &c, as will be shown hereafter.

1st. Margaret, married to Parson Cheyne.
2d. Christian, married to John Forbes of Pitnacadell, in the shire of Aberdeen, a cadet of the family of Forbes of Tolquhoun, and had issue.* Dying about the year 1614, he was succeeded by his elder son by his first wife, Janet Turing. [Douglas Baron; Index of Retours.] X. GEORGE JOHNSTON of that Ilk. On the succession of this gentleman, the family estates were large and valuable, as may be gathered from the following description of the lands in which he was served heir-male to his father John, on 3d May 1614:—''Terris et baronia de Johnestoun, comprehen. villain et terras de Johnestoun, cum molendino, villam et terras de Caskieben, cum molendino, villain et terras de Inglistoun, et Jackstoun, cum molendino lie Pedesmylne ; villam et terras de Ledgett Favellis; octavam partem terrarum de Ardryne; dimidietatem terrarum de Cremond, et molendini earundem ; villam et terras de Baddindauche, Keigisley, cum molendinis granorum et fullonum ; villam et terras de Craig, Corshill, Buchthills, Standingstanes, Sleipihillokrood, Landowertoun de Dyce, cum pendiculo vocato Beigintoft, et Pleybariche, in baronia de Johnestoun; villa et terris de Selbie et Lochtulloche ; terris de Boyndis in baronia de Fintray,'' all in the shire of Aberdeen. _____
* The notices in the text of the daughters, by the two marriages, of John Johnston (No. IX.), differ considerably from those in Douglas* Baronage. The compiler, however, considers himself warranted, by the authorities quoted, in giving the above account of these ladies. Page 11
In the index of retours of special services, there is the following entry, ''Feb. 10,1632, Dominus Georgius Johnestoune de eodem, miles baronettus, haeres, Alexandri Johnestoune de eodem tritavi, in terris de Sauchok et Dennys, infra baron, de Audan, tanquam pro principalibus ; terris de Auchat, infra baroniam de Stainiwod, in warrantum," also situated within the county of Aberdeen. [Douglas Baron.; Forbes Genea.; Reg. Mag. sig. lib. 47 no 491]
He married Elizabeth, daughter of William Forbes of Tolquhoun in the shire of Aberdeen, (M. App.) and got a charter under the Great Seal, (6th July 1615,) to himself and to Elizabeth Forbes, his spouse.''Terrarum et baroniae de Caskieben, specialiter in se comprehend, terras de Johnston cum molendino, &c. [Kennedy's Annals of Aberdeen]
The name of " George Johnestoune of yat ilk," appears in the list of freeholders present at the election of two commissioners for the shire of Aberdeen, 1st October 1616. [Reg Mag Sig Lib 49 No 67, 66]
He got, 31st July 1618, a crown charter of the lands of Ardicharrald, with the teinds of Caskieben, &c. in Aberdeenshire. Of the same date we find in the records of the Great Seal a charter, ''Georgio Johnstoun de Pettiesmylne, decimarum garbahum terrarum de Selbie, Pettiesmylne'' &c.' also situated with the county of Aberdeen. [Reg Mag Sig Lib 51 No 124, 2d Chas 1., penult Mar 1626]
George Johnston, on account of his individual merits and acquirements, and, as a reward for the services rendered by him and other members of this family, to the crown, was, by King Charles I., created a Knight Baronet of Nova Scotia, in virtue of the royal patent, and received a crown charter, ''Domino Georgio Johnestoun de Caskieben, Militi Baronetto, terrarum et regalitatis de Johnstoun, in Nova Scotia, in America, haeredibus suis masculis quibuscunque'' &c (N. App) [Reg Mag Sig Lib 52 No 49]
He also received, 26th June 1628, a crown charter, " Solaris dimidietatis terrarum de Altoun de Crimond, cum dimidiet. de Newmill de Crimond, et Auldmill ejusdem, East et Westhills," &c. It thus appears that Sir George, who was a man of prudence, added largely to the landed estates of the family. Unfortunately, however, these, during the lives of his son and grandson, gradually page 12 went out of the family ; this perhaps in some degree was owing to the effects of the unhappy civil wars, which soon after this period ensued, and which bore hard upon the north of Scotland, particularly on the shire of Aberdeen, the gentry of which were, almost to a man, true to the cause of their king. [Spaulding's History; Douglas Baronage] Sir George was, by his Majesty's commission, appointed sheriffs-principal of the county of Aberdeen at Michaelmas 1630, in room of George Marquis of Huntly, (in whose family this office had been long hereditary), and this appointment was to endure for one year.* He had by his lady, Elizabeth Forbes, three sons and two daughters;
1st George, his successor.
2d John of Newplace, of whom hereafter, [ibid, voce Leith, Kennedy's Annals of Aberdeen; Orem's History of Old Aberdeen]
3d William married, and had a daughter—Marjory, married to Alexander Leith of Bucharne, by whom she had issue. Of this William, Douglas says, there is no male succession. This gentleman is understood to be the same who was, anno 1657, appointed one of the regents of King's College, and thereafter, 1669, Professor of Civil Law in the same university; he died about the year 1673, at least in that year he was succeeded, in his professorship, by Sir George Nicolson of Kemnay. His daughters were,

1st Jean, married to Irvine of Brakely.
[Ibid; Bower's History of the University of Edinburgh]
2d. Christian, married to William Keith of Lenturk, who was Professor of Divinity in the University of Edinburgh, from the year 1664 to 1674. [Douglas Baronage] Sir George Johnston of that Ilk, and the subsequent chiefs of the family, were, after the year 1628, promiscuously styled of that Ilk, and of Caskieben. On his death he was succeeded by his eldest son, _________

Page 13 [Douglas Baronage; Ibid, ''voce Leslie''] XI—Sir GEORGE JOHNSTON of Caskieben, second Knight Baronet of Johnston. He married the third daughter of Sir William Leslie of Wardes, in the shire of Aberdeen, Knight Baronet, by Dame Helen Gordon, daughter of the Laird of Newton, ''and had an only son, John, by whom he was succeeded.'' The date of Sir George's death is unknown. XII.—Sir JOHN JOHNSTON of Caskieben, third Knight Baronet of Johnston, was a captain in the army, and did good service in Flanders, as also in Ireland, under King William. [Douglas Baronage] This gentleman, having assisted his friend, the Honourable Captain James Campbell, brother of the Earl of Argylle, in carrying off Miss Mary Wharton (a rich heiress, and a relative of Lord Wharton, the great favourite of King William), whom Captain Campbell married, was tried for the offence, and being convicted, was executed anno 1690. (O. App.) Sir John having never been married, was succeeded in the chiefship and title by his cousin and heir-male John Johnston of Newplace, merchant in Aberdeen, son of his uncle, John of Newplace, before mentioned.

App.) Page 14 ===Of the Family of JOHNSTON of NEWPLACE=== (afterwards) CASKIEBEN, and of THAT ILK, in the shire of Aberdeen Of this family (now extinct) the first was, [Supra, p 12; Douglas Baron; Ibid; Ext. Burgh Record of Aberdeen] I.—JOHN JOHNSTON, second son of Sir George, first Knight Baronet of Johnston, from whom John received in patrimony the lands of Newplace, by which he was afterwards designed. He married his cousin, the eldest daughter of Thomas Johnston of Craig, by whom he had one son,—John, his heir; and a daughter,—Elizabeth, who died unmarried in August 1728. He is supposed to have died about the year 1688, when he was succeeded by his son, (XII). II.—Sir JOHN JOHNSTON of Newplace (afterwards) Caskieben, fourth Knight Baronet of Johnston. He was a merchant in Aberdeen (Q. App.), and succeeded to the honours of the family on the death of his unfortunate kinsman, anno 1690. He does not appear, however, to have assumed the title for several years after it opened to him. In the Index to the Records of the Great Seal, anno 1700, there appears a charter of resignation in favour of John Johnston of CaskiebeB, of the lands and barony of Caskieben, in Aberdeenshire.* In 1705 this gentleman, (then designed " Sir John Johnstoun ___
* The old estate of Caskieben (now Keith-hall), was at this date out of the Johnstons' possession (P. App.). It is believed that this baronet, upon taking up the title, anno 1700, and receiving the Crown-charter mentioned in the text, changed the name of his lands of Newplace to Caskieben. This property now belongs to Dr. Alexander Henderson of London, and it distant about eight miles from Aberdeen.

[St. Nicholas' Parish Record, Douglas Baronage] He married, anno 1683, Janet Mitchell, sister of Thomas Mitchell of Thainston, afterwards provost of Aberdeen, and by this lady he had a large family, all of whom, however, died young p^hCn2co«i. and unmarried, except one son and two daughters, viz.

Janet, bom 1694, married to Charles Forbes of Shiells, in the shire of Aberdeen. This lady died (S. P.) anno 1748, and is interred in the churchyard of St. Nicholas. Sir John Johnston was a loyal subject to the family of Stuart, and was, like many ot his countrymen, strenuously opposed to the union between Scotland and England. On the effort being made, anno 1715, to place James, son of King James VII., on the throne, Sir John, and as many of his relations and retainers as he could draw together, joined the standard of the Prince, under the Earl of Mar. He was present at the battle of Sheriffmuir ; on which occasion was also present his son John Johnston, younger of that Ilk, who was slain fighting by his father's side. [Extract Burgh Records of Aberdeen]
Sir John himself, a few years thereafter, sunk into the grave, broken-hearted—his hopes frustrated—and his family extinct. He died in the end of the year 1724, and lies in the burial-place of the Johnstons in the church-yard of St. Nicholas. [Douglas Baronage]
He was succeeded in the chiefship and title by his kinsman, William Johnston of Craig, advocate in Aberdeen.

Upon the death of his kinsman, Sir John, anno 1724 (S. P. M), William succeeded to the honours of the family, but, it is believed, to no property whatever, landed or otherwise. Soon after (about 1730), Sir William fell into difficulties, and lost all his property. After this, and it is understood down to the time of his death, he resided at the villa of Mountjoy, about six miles to the north of Aberdeen, and in the neighbourhood of his former possessions, and of Craibston, of the family of which his wife was a daughter. The existing branches of the family were for many years after Sir William's misfortunes in a very depressed condition page 19 (Y.

(IV). I.—WILLIAM DE JOHNSTON, son of the marriage between Gilbert de Johnston of Caskieben, and his second wife, the daughter of Sir Alexander Forbes of Pitsligo. [ibid.; Reg. Mag. sig. Lib 7 No 244]
He received in patrimony the lands of Ballindauch or Bandauch, in Aberdeenshire, and had from King James III. a crown charter of these lands, dated 31st August 1472. To whom this gentleman was married does not appear, but he had a son, [ibid Lib 13, No 154; Supra, pp 4,5; No. 11 of Inventory of Writs in Appendix]
(V). II.—ALEXANDER DE JOHNSTON of Ballindauch; which estate, about the year 1509 he excambed with his kinsman William Johnston of that Ilk, for the one half of the lands of Crimond. The bargain between these gentlemen seems to have been, that Alexander was to hold his half of Crimond of his Chief; and by an obligation dated 26th June 1509, he bound himself to give William and his heirs the first offer of the same when sold, "ilk merk's worth of land for twenty merks, as use is, of common selling." [Ibid, No. 9]
Alexander Johnston of Crimond was one of Caskieben's three arbitrators in the dispute (annis 1538 and 1539), between James Johnston of that Ilk and the Frasers, as to the marches between the lands of the Craig and of Clinterty. We are, from want of proper documentary evidence, unable to trace with accuracy the descent of this family, but there is a strong probability that Alexander had a son, Page 29 (VI.) III.— JOHNSTON of Crimond, father of [Supra, p. 6]

The Laird of Crimond's name is in the roll of Spiritual and Great Temporal Barons and Freeholders, who appeared on 3d October 1598, at Aberdeen, to give suit and presence for their lands held of the Crown. The eldest son of this Laird is understood to have been, [Thom's History of Aberdeen, and Succinct Survey of the famous city of Aberdeen]
(IX). VI.—ROBERT JOHNSTON of Crimond. He was, anno 1635, elected Provost of the city of Aberdeen, but in January 1636 was removed from that office by the Lords of the Privy Council, and Alexander Jaffray of Kingswells appointed in his room. Of Jaffray's elevation, Spalding in his History of the Troubles, says, "Many thought little both of the man and the election, not being of the old blood of the town, but the oy of a baxter, and therefore was set down in the provost's desk to sermon, with a baken pye before him. This was done several times, but he miskenned all, and never quarrelled the samen." [ibid]
Robert was again, anno 1637? elected Provost of Aberdeen, and remained in office for the usual period, without molestation. We are unable to give any account of the family after this period. Page 30 From Dr. Thomas McCrie's Life of Andrew Melville (second edition—1824), we select the following particulars regarding a member of this family. John Johnston was of the family of Crimond in Aberdeenshire; he studied at King's College, and afterwards, according to the custom of that age, went abroad, where he remained for eight years, and gained the friendship of many of the principal French and German literati; he also spent some time in England, and then returned to his native country. He embraced the doctrines of the reformed religion, and was the friend of Andrew Melville, and his colleague as a Regent of the University of St. Andrews. He was, says our authority, a poet and divine as well as a scholar. He married Catherine Melville, of the family of Carnbee in Fifeshire, by whom he had issue. In his "Consolatio Christiana," is an epitaph on his wife and two of his children. His works (like those of other learned Scotsmen of that age,) were published in Holland, but in thirty years after, Arthur Johnston (his kinsman) published them at Aberdeen. In 1602, his "Inscriptiones Historian et Icones regum Scotorum" was published at Amsterdam ; and in 1603 there was published at Utrecht, " Heroes ex omni Historia Scotica Lectissimi," both in very small quarto. His Portraits of the Kings of Scotland arc invaluable. These poems were inserted by Dr. Johnston in the Delituae Poetarum Scotorum, published in 1637. He was also the author of a very beautiful poem, "Mors Piorum." His other works were, "Sidera Veteris AEvi" "Iambi Sacri," "Cantica Sacra Novi Testamenti," published in 1611. Five letters from him are printed in Cambden's Epistles ; and in Cambden's Britannia are many of his Latin poems. He died 20th October 1611. Of his death Melville thus writes in a letter to his nephew James :—" Your account of the happy death of my colleague Jonston, filled me with both grief and joy. He was a man of real piety—attached to the purity of religion— and of a most courteous disposition. The university has lost a Page 31 teacher—the church a member—and I a friend, to whom there are few equal." In his last will, Johnston appoints Robert Johnston of Crimond one of his executors, and bequeaths a small legacy to the Laird of Caskieben. "Item, I leave to Mr. Rob^t. Merser, persoun of Banquhorie, my auld kynd maister, in taiken of my thankeful dewtie, my quhyit cope w^t the silver fit: Item, I leave, in taikin of my sinceir love and affectioun, to Mr. Andro Melvill, ane fyne new Duche cap of fyne blak velvet, lynit w^t fyne martrik skinnes." This John Johnston was, we are inclined to think, the progenitor of the Johnstons in Fifeshire, now a numerous race. Page 32 ===Of the JOHNSTONS of CAYESMILL=== The first of this family was, [supra, page 4; Douglas' Baron]
(V) I.—WILLIAM DE JOHNSTON, second son of Alexander de Johnston of Caskieben, by Agnes, daughter of Gloster of that Ilk and of Glack. [MS. History.]
He married the daughter of John Keith of Auquhorsk, and had issue. The descent of this branch of the family we have been unable to trace ;—William was an ancestor of [ibid.]
ROBERT JOHNSTON of Cayesmill, who married Janet, fourth daughter of George Johnston of that Ilk, by the Honourable Christian Forbes, and had " diverse bearns (then) liveing of good apearance." Cayesmill is situated in the parish of Dyce, but near the church of Kinellar, and marches with the property now called Caskieben. It is distant about eight miles from Aberdeen. Page 33 ===Of the JOHNSTONS of STANDINGSTONES=== The founder of this family was [Douglas Baronage; MS History]
(VII.) L—GILRERT JOHNSTON, second son of James Johnston of that Ilk, by Clara, daughter of Barclay of Gartlie. [Forbes Genealogy]
He married Margaret, daughter of William Forbes of Corsindae, by Margaret Lumsden, relict of Johnston of Caskieben, by whom he had issue. [Vide no 13 of Inventory of Writs in Appendix]
Gilbert had, anno 1548, from his father James, a charter in favour of himself and of Margaret Forbes, his spouse, of the lands of Craig, Corsehill, Standingstones, Kinbrun, Waulkmill of Dyce, and Cornmill of Kinbrun, lying in the baronies of Dyce and Rothienormond, and shire of Aberdeen. [Ibid no 13,14]
This deed appears to have been granted in security of certain provisions ; for a letter of reversion was granted by Gilbert to his father, dated August 1518, for resuming said lands after decease of Gilbert's heir on payment of 800 merks. On 5th June 1595, John Johnston in Corsehill, tutor to Thomas, heir-male of Gilbert of Standingstones, granted a discharge of said charter to John Johnston of that Ilk, in consideration of payment of 800 merks, and a nineteen years' lease of the lands. Thomas seems to have been the grandson and heir of Gilbert of Standingstones, and John in Corsehill was probably a younger son of Gilbert. Of the descendants of Gilbert Johnston of Standingstones we have no farther account. Standingstones is in the parish of Dyce, and distant about seven miles from Aberdeen.

This gentleman was, at Michaelmas 1631, chosen a bailie of Alberdeen, to continue in office for a year. He appears to have acquired a considerable fortune in trade, which was laid out by him in the purchase of land. [Reg. Mag. Sig. Lib. 50 no 259]
On 15th January 1624, we find a charter of confirmation in his favour of the lands of Balmalidie, in the county of Kincardine. [ibid. Lib. 52 no 57]
On 31st July 1628, he received a crown charter of the lands of Wester Cairnie, in the same county. In the Index of the Records of the Great Seal, there is the following entry : ''Carta confirm. Georgio Johnestoun, balivo de Aberdene, et suae sponsae, piscium salmonum in lie cruives super aqua de Done. Aberdene, Lib. 54, No. 4. 8 Charles I., ult. Jun. 1632.'' Page 35 [ ibid., Lib . 55, no. 312]
On 13th March 1637, there was passed under the Great Seal a charter in favour of George Johnston, formerly bailie of Aberdeen, of the lands of Middle Disblair, &c. in the county of Aberdeen. Lieutenant Crowner or Colonel Johnston, who, on account of his loyalty to King Charles the First, is made honourable mention of in Spalding's History of the Troubles in that monarch's reign, is believed to have been a cadet of this family. On his death, George (C C. App.) was succeeded by his son, [Index of Retours]

He is believed to have been the immediate ancestor of [Certif. of baptism, ''penes me''][Thom's History of Aberdeen]

We are unable to give any farther particulars respecting the family of Middle Disblair. A gentleman of the name of Johnston, however, was possessed of that estate within the last half century, who was known to Sir William, the sixth baronet of the family, and also to the late William Johnston of Viewfield. It is understood that he fell into pecuniary difficulties, and was obliged to part with his estate, which is now, we believe, the property of Ramsay of Straloch. What became of this person we know not. Middle Disblair is in the parish of Fintray, and shire of Aberdeen. Page 36 ===Of the Family of DR. ARTHUR JOHNSTON=== [MS. History; Wood's Edition of Peerage, ''Vide'' Memoir of Dr. Johnston's Life in edition of his Psalms 1741 &c; Philip's Theatrum Poetarum; Kennedy's Annals of Aberdeen]
(IX.) I-—ARTHUR JOHNSTON was the fifth son of George Johnston of that Ilk, by the Honourable Christian Forbes, and was born at Caskieben, anno 1587 ; he appears to have been named after his uncle, the Honourable Arthur Forbes of Towie, son of William, seventh Lord Forbes, who was killed at Paris, anno 1574. In his childhood Arthur was put to school in Kintore, which is not far distant from the Castle of Caskieben; from Kintore he was removed to the then newly established University of Marischal College, Aberdeen, where he pursued his studies with great assiduity. After going through the usual curriculum at he commenced his travels on the Continent, a custom pursued at that time by all the Scottish youth of rank. He studied physic, and took the degree of Doctor of Medicine at Padua, anno 1610. After this he went into France, and was laureated poet at Paris, before he had attained his twenty third year. He settled in France, and remained there for twenty years. On his return to his native country in 1632, after an absence of twenty-four years, he was by King Charles the First appointed his Physician in Ordinary. In 1637 Dr. Johnston published his translation of the Psalms of David in Latin verse, a work undertaken at the request of his friend Archbishop Laud, and which he accomplished in four years. In the same year he edited the Delitias Poetarum Scotorum, to which he contributed his Parerga. He is also known as author of the Musae Aulicae, or Commendatory Verses upon Persons in Church and State in his own time. In the year 1637 he was elected Rector of King's College, Aberdeen, in the hall of which University there is a portrait of him. He was twice married, and had by his wives (whose names, Page 37 however, arc unknown) a family of thirteen children ; but of his descendants no particular account has been preserved. [Reg. Mag. Sig. Lib. 52 No. 162]
He seems to have possessed some landed property in his native county. In the Records of the Great Seal there is a charter of confirmation in his favour of the lands of New Leslie, dated 12th June 1629. In the district of Alford, where this property is situated, there are to this day some families of the name of Johnston, chiefly in poor circumstances, who may be descended of this gentleman. He died at Oxford, anno 1641, while on a visit to one of his daughters, who was married to a divine of the Church of England there ; and in that city his remains were interred. This circumstance his learned friend Dr. Wedderburn, in his Suspiria on Arthur Johnston's death, thus regrets:— ''Scotia maesta, dole, tanti viduata sepulchro'' ''Valis ; is Angligenia contigit altus honos.'' [Thom's History of Aberdeen] George Jameson, the Scottish painter, a native of Aberdeen, executed a likeness of his friend Dr. Johnston, which is to be seen in the hall of Marischal College.—(D D. App.) Page 38 ===Of the Family of DR. WILLIAM JOHNSTON=== [Supra p. 8; Kennedy's Annals of Aberdeen]
(IX) I.—WILLIAM JOHNSTON was the sixth and youngest son of George Johnston of that Ilk, by the Honourable Christian Forbes. He, as well as his immediate elder brother, Arthur, studied at Marischal College. William afterwards taught philosophy at the University of Sedan, in Germany, and from thence returning to his native country was, anno 1626, appointed the first Professor of Mathematics in the University of Marischal College, Aberdeen, which chair he occupied until his death. [Genealogy of Forbes Family; Index of Retours.]
He married the fifth and youngest daughter of Abraham Forbes of Blacktoune, in Aberdeenshire, a cadet of the noble family of Forbes, and by this lady had one son and two daughters.
1. Thomas, died without issue.
The daughters were,
1. Anna, married to Alexander Skene, younger of Dyce, by whom, it is believed, she had issue.
2. Elizabeth, married to Alexander Whyt, one of the Regents of Marischal College, Aberdeen, to which office Kennedy, in his Annals, says he was admitted in 1655. [Reg. Mag. Sig. Lib. 55 No. 77]
Dr. William was proprietor of the lands of Bcidleston in Dyce ; there appears in the Record of the Great Seal of Scotland a charter of confirmation, ''Magistro Gulielmo Johnstoun, Doctori Medicinae in Aberdene, suae sponsae, ae filio, terrarum de Bendistoun, &c. Aberdene.'' Dated 2d June 1635. "Dr. Johnston, physician," is mentioned by Spalding in his Memorable Transactions, as having been sent in March 1639, along with George Morison, burgess in Aberdeen, as commissioner for that town to a meeting of the Covenanters held at Old Montrose. Of his death the same author writes, "The 14th of June, (1640) Mr. William Johnston, doctor of physick, departed this life in Page 39 New Aberdeen. Mr. William Gordon, another doctor of physick, departed this life a little before in Old Aberdeen, as ye have heard. Dr. Barron, professor of divinity, and Dr. Ross, one of the ministers of Aberdeen, four matchless men, yea and almost matchless in any burrow of Scotland, departed this life, to the ''grief of Aberdeen, and the country also ; and," " adds the indignant and desponding royalist, "all this happened since the beginning of this covenant." [Kennedy's Annals of Aberdeen]
He gave, anno 1632, to the Magistrates of Aberdeen, 1000 merks Scots, as a fund for the benefit of the poor. He also made presents of books to the library of Marischal College. [Thom's History of Aberdeen]
Portraits of him and of his lady, by George Jameson, were in the possession of the late Andrew Skene of Dyce. [Reg. Mag. Sig. Lib. 59 No. 178]
In the Index of Retours of Special Services, there are two services of the daughters of Dr. William Johnston, as heirs-portioners of their brother Thomas ; the one in favour of Anna, on 16th August 1654 (on which a crown charter followed 9th February 1655); the other in favour of Elizabeth, on 10th September 1658, each in the lands of Beidleston, and salmon fishing upon the water of Don, within the parish of Dyce, and shire of Aberdeen.

Page 3 ===APPENDIX NOTES=== A.—Page 2. THE only circumstance that seems, in after ages, to have formed any link between the Caskieben family and Annandaie, is the fact of Johnston of Beirholm in Annandaie, having been descended of one of the north country Johnstons, who according to the Crawford MSS, (in the Advocates' Library, Edinburgh) settled as a merchant in Edinburgh. Of which family, of the name, in Aberdeenshire, this Archibald Johnston was descended, we know not. He is called the King's Merchant in a charter in 1608, and was the founder of the family of Johnston of Warriston. B.—Page 3. Some account of Thomas Mar, Earl of Mar, the patron and friend of Stephen de Johnston the Clerk, is contained in Nisbet's Heraldry of Scotland. Another and more apocryphal notice of the same nobleman is to be found in Hogg's Mountain Bard. The family of Garviehaugh or Garuiach, now Garioch, into which Stephen married, was of high antiquity in the north. Andrew de Garuiach was Sheriff of the County of Aberdeen, anno 1264.—''Vide'' Accounts of the Chamberlain of Scotland for that year. C—Page 3. The lands let in lease, by the Bishop of Aberdeen, to Gilbert de Johnston, were those now known as Bishop's or Little Clinterty, in the parish of Saint Machar (now Newhills) ; which lands, after having belonged to the Frasers, were possessed in property by one branch of the family of Johnston.

Pitscottie mentions in his Chronicles, that Alexander Barclay of Gartlie, and several other Barons, friends of the Earl of Huntly, were slain at Arbroath, anno 1445, in a conflict between the Lindsays and Ogilvies, as to the right to the Bailiary of Arbroath. G.—Page 5. Douglas, in his Baronage of Scotland, in treating of this Baron says, —" This James having had some disputes with the Erasers of Muchil, in Aberdeenshire (afterwards Lords Fraser), concerning the marches of the lands and forest of Cordyce, &c, they entered into a submission, wherein several of the first gentlemen in the neighbourhood were chosen arbiters ; and the said James having produced a bounding charter, granted by King Robert Bruce to his predecessors, anno 1306; the arbiters gave sentence in favours of James. The original submission, and decreet-arbitral, with the seals entire, are still preserved in the family and dated 17th February 1538; and the sentence which is ratified by John Lord Forbes, the oversman mutually chosen, is dated 3d April 1539." [Penes Domin. Gul. Johnston.] H—Page 8. Peter Blackburn, rector of Saint Nicholas, was advanced to the see of Aberdeen, anno 1603, on the death of Bishop Cunningham, and was the second Bishop of the reformed religion. He was a native of Glasgow, and in the University of that City he had taught philosophy, for several years, previous to being appointed to his charge in Aberdeen. Mr. Kennedy, in his Annals, states that Bishop Blackburn was admitted one of the Regents of Marischal College anno 1593, and was the first regent in that University. The same historian also says, that neither this Bishop nor his predecessor ever enjoyed any part of the episcopal revenue of the see of Aberdeen, being contented with the small stipend which they received from the magistrates of Aberdeen, as parochial clergymen of Saint Nicholas. [Keith's catalogue of Scottish Bishops] This Bishop, who was a man of good parts, endeavoured to conciliate the good opinion of the contending religious parties; but while he studied to please the presbyterians, he became obnoxious to both parties, and thus lost his influence and authority. He was for some years Chancellor of King's College and University of Aberdeen, and died at Aberdeen anno 1615. Peter, son to Bishop Blackburn, was served heir to his father, 17th July 1016, in certain lands in the parishes of Dyce and Alford, Aberdeenshire. [Index of Retours] Page 5 The Bishop's other son, William, burgess of Aberdeen, married a daughter of John Forbes, minister at Delph, a cadet of the family of Corse; and on 30th November 1619, was served heir to his brother, Mr. Peter Blackburn of Endowie, in certain parts of the lands of Meikle Endowie, in the parish of Alford, and County of Aberdeen. [Forbes Genealogy; Index of Retours] I—Page 8. It is believed that Spence was this gentleman's surname. There was, however, a family of Sangsters of Boddom, in the parish of New Machar. Sangster of Boddom attempted to carry off the Lass of Patie's Mill, but was interrupted by a dog, and roughly handled by her father, who was called Black John Anderson. [Kennedy's Annals of Aberdeen] K.—Page 10. The family of Lundie of that Ilk, one of the most ancient in Scotland, was descended of the royal family of that kingdom, through Robert, the son of William the Lion, and brother of King Alexander the Second; who having married the daughter and heiress of Lundie of Lundie, in the shire of Fife, on that account designed himself Robert de Lundie ; in consequence of this descent the family of Lundie were, by a special permission of King Charles the Second, anno 1679, authorized to carry the royal arms of Scotland on their shield, with a difference, as to which see Nisbet's heraldry. [Crawford's MSS in the Advocate Library] The office ''hostiarius'' or door-ward of the King's palaces in Scotland, was conferred by William the Lion on the head of the Lundie family, in which it remained hereditary for many ages. Kennedy, in his Annals of Aberdeen (vol. I.), says, that in 1565 William Lunday, son and heir of Lunday of that Ilk, surrendered himself, along with some other barons and gentlemen, in the lodgings of David Marr, bailie in Aberdeen, as prisoners, in terms of the King's and Queen's letters. The following entry occurs in the Index of Retours. It is the service of the Lady of Johnston's (Katharine Lundie's) brother, as heir to their father :— "Maii 6, 1600.—''Joannes Lundy haeres, Magistri Gulielmi Lundy de Eodem, patris,''" in the lands and barony of Lundy, &c. in the county of Fife. M—Page 11. Of William Forbes of Tolquhoun, who seems to have been, like other gentlemen of his name, a Covenanter, there is a portrait by Jameson, which is, or at least formerly was, in the possession of the Saltoun family. Among the Epigrams of Dr. Arthur Johnston, there is one "De Gulielmo Forbesio, Tolchono." Page 6 N.—Page 11. Douglas enters into a long argument as to the date of Sir George Johnston's patent of knight baronetey. The date which he gives it is 31st March 1626 ; but he says, "We must here observe, that though we have given the date of this patent from the Records of the Great Seal, which is our ordinary rule, yet, as there appears to be some dubiety, we shall here state the case as it really is, videlicet, The signature for Sir George Johnston of Caskieben, baronet's patent, is signed by the king at Whitehall, ultimo die Martii, anno Domini millesimo sexcentesimo vigesimo sexto, anno regni secundo. In the Records of the Great Seal, the date of the patent is precisely the same with the signature, viz. ultimo die Martii, anno Domini millesimo sexcentesimo vigesimo sexto, anno regni secundo. The sasine is dated 25th May 1626. In the original patent n Sir William Johnston's possession, the date stands thus, viz. --- primo die mensis Martii, anno Domini millesimo sexcentesimo vigesimo de Eodem. quinto, anno regni primo.—N. B. The word defaced or wanting before primo die, must be either vigesimo or trigesimo : If the first, then the date is 21st March 1625 ; if the latter, then the date is 31st March 1625. In the book of the Privy Seal, the date is plainly 31st March 1625, anno regni primo. By the above 'tis certain there is a mistake, and where it lies is submitted to the judgment of our readers. [Register of Sasines; Penes Dominum Gul. Johnston de Eodem; In the lower Parliament House] "But if the patent and Privy Seal are right, viz. 31st March 1625, then Sir William Johnston has the precedency of all the baronets now existing in Scotland. If the signature and Great Seal are right, then he stands in the order herein placed" Sir William Johnston still stands on the list of Scottish baronets, as if his patent were dated 31st March 1626, notwithstanding the apparently good claim he possesses to be considered premier baronet of Scotland. O.—Page 13. Sir John Johnston, third Knight Baronet of that Ilk, entered the army at an early age. He served under King William in Flanders, and was afterwards a captain in the army of that monarch at the battle of the Boyne. Playfair, in his Baronetage of Scotland, says,"His defence and whole deportment upon the occasion (of his trial) were very affecting. He was a brave man, and certainly fell a sacrifice to the times." Captain Campbell, who was his coadjutor and instigator in the offence for which he so unjustly suffered, escaped into Scotland, and there sometime after married. He was designed "of Mamore," and became the father of General Campbell, afterwards Duke of Argylle. In the continuation of Rapin's History of England, the following Page 7 notice is taken of this event. "During this session of parliament (3 William and Mary) happened an incident which made a great noise; Captain James Campbell, brother to the Earl of Argylle, assisted by Mr. Archibald Montgomery and Sir John Johnston, on the 14th November, forcibly seized on Miss Mary Wharton, daughter and heiress of Sir George Wharton, a fortune, it was said, of £50,000, and about thirteen years of age. She was carried away from her relations in Great Queen Street, and married against her will. "The next day, his majesty issued his royal proclamation, for apprehending Mr. Campbell and the abettors of this unwarrantable action, and Sir John Johnston being apprehended, was tried, condemned, and executed at Tyburn, notwithstanding great application was made to the King and the relations of the bride to save his life; which was thought the harder, as it appeared upon his trial, Miss Wharton had given evident proofs that the violence Captain Campbell used was not so much against her will as her lawyers endeavoured to make it. Not long before this there was a bill brought into the House of Commons to prevent clandestine marriages, which it was thought this incident would have accelerated, but it was dropt. However, another bill was brought into the House of Commons on the 4th day of December, to render void the marriage between Miss Wharton and Mr. Campbell, which, notwithstanding the Earl of Argylle petitioned against it, passed both houses the 13th of December." The trial of Sir John Johnston is to be found in different collections of criminal trials in England. The following ballad, entitled, " Captain Johnstoun's Last Farewell," was composed, it is believed, the year after Sir John's death. It would appear that the hero of the piece had been betrayed by a treacherous landlord. Good people all, wherever you be,
That hear my dismal doom,
Have some regard to pity me,
Who now, alas ! am come
To die an ignominious death,
As it doth well appear.
For I declare, with my last breath,
Your laws are most severe. In Scotland I was bred, and born
Of noble parents there,
Good education did adorn
My life, I do declare.
No crime did e'er my conscience stain,
Till I had ventured here,
Thus have I reason to complain,
Your laws are most severe. Page 8 In Flanders I have faced the French,
And likewise in Ireland,
Still eagerly pursued the chase,
With valiant heart and hand :
Why was I not in battle slain,
Rather than suffer here
A death which mortals do disdain ?
Your Iaws are must severe. I did not hurt or wrong intend
I solemnly protest,
But merely to assist a friend
I granted hia request
To free his lady out of thrall,
His joy and only dear,
And now my life must pay for all—
Your laws are most severe. In coming to my native land
At thin unhappy time,
Alas ! I did not understand
The nature of the crime ;
I therefore soon did condescend,
As it doth well appear,
Wherein I find I do offend__
Your laws are moat severe. In the same lodgings where I lay,
And lived at bed and board.
My landlord did my life betray
For fifty pounds reward ;
And being into prison cast,
Altho with conscience clear,
I was arraigned at the last—
Your laws are most severe. This ladye would not hear my moan,
While dying words I sent;
Her cruel heart, more hard than stone,
Would not the least relent ,
But triumphing in my wretched state,
As I do often hear,
I fall here by the hand of fate—
Your laws are most severe. Will not my good and gracious king
Be merciful to me ?
Is there not in his breast a spring
Of princely clemencie ?
No! not for me, alas! I die—
My hour is drawing near—
To the last minute I will cry,
Your laws are most severe. Farewell, dear countrymen (said he)
And this tumultuous noise,
My soul shall now transported be
To more celestial joys ; Page 9 Tho in the blossom of my youth,
Pale death I do not fear,
Unto the last I speak the truth—
Your laws are most severe. Alas ! I have not long to live,
And therefore now, (said he,)
All those that wronged me I forgive,
As (rod will pardon me :
My landlord and his subtle wife
I do forgive them here ;
Farewell this transitory life—
Your laws are most severe. P.—Page 13. Before the death of Sir John Johnston, anno 1690, the wealth and influence of the family were on the wane. So early as 15th April 1645, we find that Alexander Jaffray, (of Kingswells, afterwards Provost of Aberdeen), was served heir to his father, Alexander Jaffray, formerly Provost of Aberdeen, in several of the towns and lands belonging in former times to the family, and which were their property in 1614, when the first Baronet was served heir to his father. [Index of Retours] The estate of Caskieben, and other lands belonging to the family, had passed out of the hands of the Johnstons, either during Sir John's time, or that of his father Sir George. In confirmation of this statement, the following entries in the Index of the Records of the Great Seal of Scotland, may be quoted :— " Carta Domino Joanni Keith, Militl Mareschallarii, Baroniae de Caskieben, etc. unit., Aberdeen, B. 58, No. 202. Charles II., 14th year, 16th August 1663." The name of Keith Hall, under which it is now known, does not appear to have been given to the estate until the year 1669); for we find in the Index already referred to, " Carta Domino Joanni Keith de Caskieben, baroniae de Caskieben, etc., in baroniam de Keith Hall, unit., Aberdeen, Book 59, No. 224.; Charles II., 21st year, 12th November 1669." (This Dominus Joannes Keith was brother of the Earl Marischal and was himself the first Karl of Kintore, to which dignity he was raised by King Charles II., anno 1677) The Castle of Caskieben was situated on a rising ground, a few hundred yards to the east of the present house of Keith Hall. Its ruins are still to be seen. Tradition says, that the feeling of indignant rogret in the country, at the manner in which the estate passed out of the possession of its ancient proprietors, was so strong, that a then current saying was, that none but a Johnston would ever be happy or prosperous in the possession of it; and that not even a tree would grow on the land that was not planted in that name. Page 10 Q._page 14. There still exists a lane in Aberdeen which formerly went under the name of Sir John's Wynd, and in which it is said Sir John Johnston resided, or had his place of business. It is that lane leading from the end of the Guestrow to the Nether Kirkgate. R._Page 15. COPY ACT in favours of Sir JOHN JOHNSTOUN of Caskiebend, for three Yearly Fairs at the Hill of Tyrebagger.

Our Sovereign Lady and Estates of Parliament considering that fairs and mercats in convenient places tend much to the good and advantage of the inhabitants thereof, and of her Majestie's other leidges dwelling near thereto, and also to increase trade and commerce in the nation, and that it is very fit for these ends to authorize three yearly fairs, upon the days following, at and upon the west end of the foot of the Hill of Tyrebagger, which is part of the lands and barony of Caskiebend, lying in the shire of Aberdeen, and belonging to Sir John Johnstoun of Caskiebend, do, therefore, by thir presents, appoint three fairs to be kept yearly, in all time comeing, at and upon the said west end of the foresaid foot of the Hill of Tyrebagger ; one thereof upon the Tuesday immediately preceding Esther, to be called Pasch Fair; another upon the first Tuesday of July, to be called Martin Bulzeon Fair; and another upon the third Thursday of August, to be called Tyrebagger Fair: And have given and granted, and hereby give and grant to the said Sir John Johnstoun, his heirs and successors, the right and priviledge of keeping the said yearly fairs for all kinds of merchandice, with all the tolls, customes, and casualties thereof; and all other liberties, priviledges, and advantadges used and wont to belong to any haveing the priviledge of keeping fairs and mercats within this kingdom.—(Acts of the Parliament of Scotland).

For a very minute account of the treacherous murder of Alexander Irvine of Kingcausie, by William Forbes, natural son of John Forbes of Lesly, as Kingcausie was on his way to the town of Aberdeen, on the 17th day of August 1644, reference is made to Spalding's History of the Troubles. In the Index of Retours occurs the following : 14th August 1630.— Alexander Irvine of Kingcausie, ''heir'' of John Irvine of Kingcausie, ''his father,'' in the lands of Kingcausie, and fishings on the river Dee. W.—Page 17. The Estate of Bishoptown is at present the property of the late Forbes of Seaton's heir. It is situated in the parish of Newhills, at the distance of seven miles from Aberdeen. There is not now, we believe, any mansion house on the property. X.—Page 18. There is a tradition in the family that this Thomas Johnston was obliged to quit the country to avoid punishment, on account of his attempting to carry off from her friends, with the intention of marrying her, a young Aberdeenshire heiress, whose name is now unknown. Y._Page 19. Sir William, the fifth Baronet, lost his estates, by reason of his having fallen into difficulties from having been cautioner for a person of the name of Forbes (who became bankrupt), a member, it is said, of the old Echt family. Z.—Page 19. Sir William Johnston, sixth Baronet, accompanied Lord Anson on his celebrated voyage. While in the navy, Sir William acquired considerable sums as prize-money, and for some gallant exploit performed by him in the course of one of his voyages, he was wont to relate that on his return he was presented to his Majesty George the Second, who was so much pleased with his conduct, that he was desirous of conferring the honour of knighthood upon him. This mark of distinction, however, he declined to receive, with a remark that knighthood would be of little use to him, as he had been heir to a Page 12 baronetcy from the time he was a boy. A sum of money was accordingly presented to Sir William. A A.—Page 19. The manner of this young gentleman's death was very melancholy. The following is the substance of the account thereof given in Playfair's Baronetage, which is we believe correct. Alexander Johnston was a midshipman on board his Majesty's ship ''Assistance,'' Commodore Sir Charles Douglas, and perished along with the first Lieutenant, the Honourable Douglas Haliburton, and all the barge's crew, off Sandy Hook, in America, 31st December 1783, aged eighteen years. The circumstances of the case were the following : Some of the ship's company had seized one of the boats, and made for the shore, with the intention of deserting, when several of the young men, and, among the rest, Alexander Johnston volunteered to recover the boat and bring back the deserters. The Commodore permitted them to go under the command of the first lieutenant, but the day soon closing in, and the night being stormy and severely cold, they did not return. The next morning when the Commodore sent to learn the cause, they were all found on the shore frozen to death. B B.—Page 22. There is a tradition in the family of Boginjoss, that when John, the first in that place, possessed the farms mentioned in the text, he was ''in the beginning of his career very prosperous,'' and that the hospitality about the house of Standingstones, which was then his residence, was famous in that country ; and it is stated that these happy circumstances remained unaltered, until a deformed herd, who was in his service, happening to commit some fault, was punished by his master. This being reported to the boy's mother, who had the character of being ''uncanny,'' she came to Standingstones to enter a remonstrance in the matter, upon which occasion she got so little satisfaction, that she prayed that '' John Johnston and his might never thrive'' From this time it is said that every thing went against the Boginjoss family ; and, no doubt, from about this period may be dated the temporary decline of that branch; but it is presumed that a more easy explanation of these reverses of fortune, than that now mentioned, is to be found in the losses which soon after this period befel John, from his being involved with his brother Sir William ; and in the attachment which the family had all along displayed to the house of Stuart. It is believed that John " was out " in 1715; and not many years ago, the walls of the house at Bishoptown, where he resided, were to be seen, and which, as being the residence of a member of a family disaffected to Government, was burned, by orders of the Duke of Cumberland, on his march to the north in the beginning of the year 1746. Page 13 C. C—Page 35. George Johnston, burgess and townsman of Aberdeen, is mentioned in Spalding's History of the Troubles, as being of the Royalist party, and, from his opposition to the Covenant, was carried, along with some other gentlemen of note belonging to Aberdeenshire, to Edinburgh, in June 1640. After an imprisonment there for six months, and an examination before the Tables, the Estates fined him £1000. The same minute historian however says, that Johnston, and another unlucky Aberdonian named George Morison, (who had suffered a like imprisonment), had influence enough with their opponents to get their liberty in a short time, and to have their fines remitted. D D.—Page 37. The following lines occur in the edition of Dr. Johnston's Epigrammata, published at Aberdeen, anno 1632, and are also introduced in the short Memoir of his Life, prefixed to his version of the Psalms, published by Auditor Benson, at London, anno 1741, as follows:— "Arturus Jonstonus ab antiqua et equestri familia apud Scotos oriundus est. Majorum sedes, solumque ejus natale, fait Caskieben, prope Aberdoniam, quod pulcherrimis hisce versibus ipse nobis indicavit. AEmula Thessalicis en hic Jonstonia Tempe,
Hospes! hyperboreo fusa sub axe vides.
Mille per ambages nitidis argenteus undis,
Hic trepidat laetos Urins inter agros.
Explicat hic seras ingens Bennachius umbras,
Nox ubi libratur lance diesque pari.
Gemmifer est amnis, radiat mous ipse lapiliis, Queis nihil Eous purius orbis habet.
Hic pandit Natura sinum, nativaque surgens, Purpura felicem sub pede ditat humum.
Aera per liquidum volwcres, in flumine pisces,
Adspicis in pratis luxuriare pecus.
Hic seges est, hic poma rubent, onerantur aristis,
Arva, suas aegre sustinet arbor opes.
Propter aquas arx est, ipsi contermina coelo,
Auctoris menti non tamen aequa sui,
Imperat haec arvis et vectigalibus undis,
Et famula stadiis distat ab urbe tribus.
Haec mihi terra parens; gens has Jonstonia lymphas,
Arvaque per centum missa tuetur avos.
Clara Maronaeis evasit Mantua cunis ;
Me mea natalis nobilitabit humus. We have seen the following spirited translation of the above lines;— Page 14 Here, traveller ! a vale behold.
As fair as Tempe's, famed of old,
Beneath the northern sky ;
Here Ury, with her silver waves.
Her banks in smiling verdure laves,
And winding wimples by. Here, towering high, Bennachie spreads
Around on all bis evening shades,
When twilight grey comes on ;
With sparkling gems the river glows,
As precious stones the mountain shows,
As in the East are known. Here nature spreads a bosom sweet,
And native dyes beneath the feet,
Bedeck the joyous ground ;
Sport in the liquid air the birds,
And fishes in the stream, the herds
In meadows wanton round. Here ample barn-yards still are stored
With relies of last autumn's hoard,
And firstlings of this year;
There waving fields of yellow corn,
And ruddy apples that adorn
The bending boughs, appear. Beside the stream, a castle proud
Rises amid the parsing cloud,
And rules a wide domain,
(Unequal to its Lord's dese[* ]t) :
A village near, with lowlier art,
Is built upon the plain Here was I bom ; o'er all the land
Around, the Johnstons bear command,
Of high and ancient line.
Mantua acquired a noted name,
As Virgil's birth-place; I my fame
Inherit shall from mine. Subjoined to a small work, entitled, "A Succinct Survey of the Famous City of Aberdeen, by a Zealous Lover of Bonaccord," printed at Aberdeen, by John Forbes, anno 1685, are translations of the Epigrams, written by Dr. Johnston upon the different Royal Burghs of Scotland. These translations are said to have been made by a Mr. John Barclay, parson of Cruden. The translation of the Epigram on Kintore thus concludes :— Here first I suck't the Muse's breasts, when young, It was here first I learn'd the Latin tongue; Let Athens by Maeonian songs be rais'd, It's fit Kintore be by my verses prais'd. Page 15 That upon the Royal Burgh of Inverury is in the following strain :— Thou art the town I love, which Urie's stream
Doth water, and thou'rt called by its name.
Don's christal waters also flow to thee,
Which, joyn'd to Urie, much increased be.
That is the cause (my dearest town) that thou
Can no Migdoniau pillars in thee shew
Why doth there not in buildings which are thine
Some pyramide with splendid titles shine ?
Why doth heath shrubs thy lovely houses stain,
To which the lawrell rather doth pertain ?
Here formerly the Bruce his foe defeat,
And still thereafter prosperous was his state.
Nere thee did Stewart beat the rebells down,
And with their blood Harlaw almost did drown.
Of thee if I do boast it is no shame,
In thee some special interest I claime,—
The land which fewell furnisheth to thee,
It was the land of my nativitie.
Nere thee it was I first drew vital breath,
I wish nere thee (when old) to meet with death. E E.—Page 40. It was, about this period, not at all unusual to bring up the younger sons of Scottish gentlemen to mechanical employments, with a view to the encouragement of trade and manufactures. Of the body of which James Johnston was a member, Mr. Kennedy, in his Annals of Aberdeen, thus writes :— " OF THE LITSTER or DYER SOCIETY. " This society may be regarded as among the oldest of the town. Before the introduction of manufactures into this country, the litsters were a pretty numerous body in Aberdeen. In the year 1501, they were recognised as a corporation ; and having chosen their deacon, the election was sanctioned by the town-council. In the course of the sixteenth century, many questions arose between them and the corporations of artificers, upon the point of precedence. The dyers contended that they were entitled to the privileges of burgesses of guild, and often refused to join the artificers in their religious plays and pageants in the time of popery ; but these privileges which they claimed were denied to them by the magistrates ; nor does it appear that they had ever any interest in the political affairs of the borough. The society, which is now composed of only a few members, is very opulent, by means of a considerable property having been left to it by Archibald Bean, dyer, about the middle of the seventeenth century, for the purpose of affording relief to decayed indigent members."

The attached image shows a sheet of paper passed down to [[Smith-116348|Barry R. Smith]] through his ancestral line to [[Thurber-337|Henry Thurber]]. It provides vital information about the Thurber family and the family of Henry's father-in-law, Rev. John P. Jones. The letter came to Barry from his mother, who obtained it from her mother, Mrs. Alice (Jackson) Duncan. Alice had it stored with an envelope addressed to Henry Thurber at Putnam, Connecticut postmarked in Providence, Rhode Island. While not certain, it seems reasonable that the sheet was mailed in that same envelope since descendants of the Jones family remained in Providence after Henry moved his family to Putnam. == Transcription == === Page 1 === Records of Father Jones Family Also of Henry Thurbers Family The Olney [sic] Record of Father Jones === Page 2 === John Allen died April 19^th Wednesday 1848 at Richmond, Va.

Jones was the Bullington-Le family dog along with Wrigley. He was found through the Dumb Friends League of Denver in October of 2005. In 2013 at the age of eight Jones quickly became sick & was put to sleep when an exploratory surgery revealed cancerous growths. He was a sweet, funny boy & he will forever be missed.

Extract from correspondence from Maureen (Jones) Greenlees to [[Mayes-1296|John Mayes]] 12 January 2024 concerning the emigration of her family from England to New Zealand and settling in New Zealand:- "When my [[Jones-74757|father]] was killed towards the end of the [[Wikipedia: World War II| war]] my [[Wyndham-327|mother]] was about 8 months pregnant with Robert. When Robbie was about 18 months old Mum took up the offer of relocation for war widows and we sailed out from [[Wikipedia: Portsmouth| Portsmouth]] in Britain to New Zealand on an ex war boat called the Largs Bay. The journey took 6 weeks and so many days. We landed in [[Wikipedia: Wellington| Wellington]] and stayed overnight with [[Kerr-7915|Aunt Rose]] and [[Jones-74951|Uncle Bill]]. The follow day we travelled on the ferry from Wgtn to [[Wikipedia: Picton, New Zealand| Picton]]. [[Dodson-7448|Uncle Jack]] was there to pick us up and we straight away travelled in his old Ford over the tortuous [[Wikipedia: Tākaka Hill| Takaka Hill]]. We stayed with [[Jones-75125|Aunty Edna]] and Uncle Jack for a time attending the [[Wikipedia:East Tākaka| East Takaka]] school where a male teacher single-handedly taught all grades! [[Jones-143943|Barbara]] was 8yrs and I was 6yrs. We then moved to [[Wikipedia: Tarakohe| Tarakohe]] (living with [[Jones-74357|Grandad]] - most unsuccessful) and in various rented properties in the Takaka area. At that point my mother was ready to take us all back to England when John Vaughan (a member of [[Wikipedia: Royal New Zealand Returned and Services' Association| RSA]]) secured a [[Wikipedia: State housing in New Zealand| state house]] for us in [[Wikipedia: Nelson, New Zealand| Nelson]].

By: John C. Jones, Oldest Son William Henry Jones called Henry Jones by all his close associates, was born near Indianapolis, Indiana, on March 28, 1851. He was the oldest son of James (John) Wesley Jones, an Ohioan and Nancy Fidler Jones, a blue-blooded Kentuckian. Early in 1862 the family moved to Hopkins, Nodaway County, Missouri, where my father grew to manhood. It was there that James (John) W. Jones was taken into the service by the Union Army, leaving Father--then eleven years old--and his mother to run the farm and do most of the work. At this time they had amassed quite a group of hogs, young cattle, and the necessary work horses to operate their farm, but this fact was unfortunate for them on account of their location in Northwestern Missouri. They were so near the dividing line between the northern and southern armies, that scouting parties from both sides would come in search for food and help themselves to some of their fat hogs or cattle. By the time that the war was over they had nothing left, and to make matters still worse, James (John) Jones returned from the service a badly broken down man in health and lived but a few years afterward. Grandfather Jones had a little water-propelled grist mill near his farm on the One Hundred and Two River, about two and a half miles southwest of Hopkins, and Father operated this after the war until he was seriously hurt when he was caught and pulled into the rollers. One arm was almost amputated, and part of his breast was crushed. A few months later the grist mill was destroyed by a cyclone that devasted much of the country (I believe it was in 1873), and the mill was never rebuilt. On December 26, 1875, William Henry Jones and Eliza Ellen Washburn, who was born in Nodaway County on February 22, 1855, were united in marriage at Hopkins. Late in the fall of 1879 our family moved by covered wagon to Osborne County, Kansas. We located there on some school land near Delhi Post office, where we resided for about four years. These years were very poor crop years, and if it hadn't been for the mercy rendered us by a couple of Mother's bachelor brothers who were operating a large fruit and farming unit in Saline County, Nebraska, I do not know what might have become of us. They took us in and gave us shelter and work for one year there, and then did the same for two more years in Thayer County, Nebraska. In August 1886 my father heard of the homesteadable land in Western Kansas and came out here, and on September 4th of that year he filed on the northwest of Section 24-9-42 in Sherman County. He went back to Thayer County, Nebraska, and made preparations to move to Kansas by covered wagon with six head of cattle and six head of horses and mules. He landed on the claim on March 3, 1887, just two days before the claim would have been contestable. In making this trip from Nebraska, we were coming along near Almena, Kansas, when we struck a long, steep, and highly graded road. When we had neared the top of the hill, we hit a very icy place in the road, and the mules, not being shod, couldn't keep their footing. They fell down on the ice and were dragged back down the hill by the heavily loaded wagon. Father, feeling that the wagon was almost sure to run off the high and narrow grade and upset, tore the wagon cover and threw the little girls (Amy was two and a half and Dollie was six months old) out on the high side of the road. He told Mother to jump, he did likewise, and sure enough, the wagon did upset, throwing most of the load out and breaking some utensils, the wagon reach, and the harness. Something quite heavy struck Mother on the shoulder and caused her much suffering for a year or more. We boys were ahead of the wagon driving the stock and knew nothing of the accident until some of the good citizens, located near where the wreck had occurred, overtook us. They placed the stock in a barnyard fence and took us back to the wreck, and along with many other good helpers, they took us into their homes and cared for us. They helped repair the wagon and harness, did whatever else they could, and by ten o'clock the next day we were ready and took off on our westward journey. However, all in all, it was a little more than Father could take, and when we were just ready to leave those good people who had done so much for us, they had quite a time restoring him to his near normal self. I have often heard my parents mention afterward that the action tendered us that time was so great that there were no words that could express their sincerest appreciation. When we arrived on the claim on March 3rd there was not a furrow of sod broken or laid to improve the claim, and Father only had $32.50 to his name, However he build a one-room sod house as quickly as he could, went to Fort Wallace to get the lumber to cover it, and made the doors and windows. There was no plaster on the walls and no floor until late that fall. Then Father, after breaking out about eight acres of sold for planting something that Spring, had to get out to hunt work. So Mother and I got busy with a hand chug planter and planted the eight acres to corn and raised enough corn and fodder that summer to feed all our stock the winter of 1887 to 1888. Father got in on the construction of the B&M Railway road bed near Norcatur, Kansas, and worked until late that fall. The next spring and summer he got similar work, partly on the B&M and partly on the Rock Island Railway, and a year or two later he bought a tree claim adjoining our homestead. This was the full possession of land acquired here in this new country by my parents, and it is where they spent the rest of their lives. Later the three oldest of us boys also acquired homesteads there. William Henry Jones died on August 27, 1930 and Mrs. Eliza Ellen Jones died on March 31, 1922.

Searching for the parentage of Robert Jones (b 1818, Rutherford County, NC d 1889, Cleveland County, NC), married Jane Warlick. Robert & Jane lived near Palm Tree Church, Lawndale, Cleveland County, NC. They had children Henry Frank Jones (1847-1924), Cynthia Georgianna Jones (1850-1925), Donald William Jones (1852-1916), Sallie Jones (1857-1910), and Columbus Durant Jones (1860-1894). Based on DNA matches, I am fairly certainly Robert was the grandson of John "The Blind" Jones (1753-1824) of Rutherford Co, NC, but I cannot find concrete genealogical evidence proving this hypothesis.

Below is the list of all Kentucky Land Grants to people named Jones in and around Clay County Kentucky. The dates of the grants range from 1795 to 1907. There are over 200 grants listed here. Many of them are multiple grants to the same person, or to people with identical or similar names. The Jones land grant table below is a subset of a table in a public [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PIAV8yLgH30CG5PaeICc5125SfUNmw8tkLtcEtectXM/edit?usp=sharing Google Sheet] which also includes the surnames McGraw and Hubbard The surnames McGraw and Hubbard are connected with Jones because of Y-DNA matches indicating that some men of these surnames had a common ancestor in the relatively recent past. and variations, as well as including all counties in Kentucky. That sheet lists 1,419 land grants. That sheet is itself a subset of the complete list of Kentucky Land Grants, which although more complete, is harder to access, sort and search for Jones researchers.

as Jonnavithula was one very big family all living in Marriwada any death in the family stopped them from celebrating new events like marriages or any other happy occasions. therefore they decided to split and some decided to move on to different locations therefore making it a smaller family and thus creating situation for marriages and other happy occasions without disruption due to deaths in family.

===Om Jonstrup Seminarium=== [http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Jonstrupvangvej+150A,+3500+Værløse/@55.760334,12.3364813,17z Se på Google Maps] [https://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonstrup_Seminarium WikiPedia] Jonstrup Statsseminarium var landets ældste seminarium. Det startede under navnet Blaagaard Seminarium på lystgården Blaagaard på Nørrebro i København i 1790, men det skiftede navn, da det flyttede til en nedlagt klædefabrik i Jonstrup ved Ballerup i 1808. Jonstrup seminarium flyttede til Lundtofte i 1955, og herefter husede bygningerne i Jonstrup en overgang flyvevåbnets officersskole. I dag anvendes seminariet til forskellige kommunale formål, blandt andet daginstitution. Min farfar [[Frank-2715|Niels Peder Jensen Frank]] gik på seminariet i perioden 1921 til 1924. Dokumenterne og de ældre fotos (Bortset fra luftfotoet), stammer fra hans fotoalbum. {{Image|file=Jonstrup_Seminarium-8.jpg |caption=Peder som bjørnetrækker på Jonstrup seminarium

De eerste persoon met deze naam kwam ik tegen in de stadsrekeningen van Middelburg, nl. Pieter Jansz, de stadschirurgijn. [http://tijdschriftenbankzeeland.nl/issue/arc/1881-01-01/edition/0/page/312 Stadsrekeningen van Middelburg, 1500-1549, Pieter Jansz, alias Pieter van Belsen], Tijdschriften Zeeland, Archief | 1 januari 1881 | pagina 312 Deze kreeg voor extra gage "geduerende den loop van de peste", van 22 Maart tot 22 Juni 1531, een pond Vlaamsch per maand en genoot zodanige toelage tot 22 December 1532. Hij had, onder de naam Pieter van Belsen , als gewone wedde 5 pond p.j. in 1532. Of er enig verband bestaat tussen bovengenoemde Pieter en de man waarmee onze stamboom begint in Arnemuiden zal wel altijd een vraagteken blijven. Hieronder volgt de getranscribeerde tekst van onze stamvader [[Meeuwsz-2|Daniel Meeuwsz]] in de huwelijksakten van Arnemuiden in 1602. {{Image|file=Joop_van_Belzen-1.jpg |align=m |size=l |caption='''Ondertrouw Daniel Meeuwsz en Tanneken Heyndrickx ''' }} ''Den lesten Augusti Anno 1602 is ondertrout Daniel Meeusen gheselle van Geertruytenberch met Tanneken Heyndrickx van Opghem in Vlaenderen bij Maldeghem. Getuyghen van den bruydegoms syde Wouter Adriaens ende met Margriete van Bilsen, moeder van de bruydegom dewelcke verclaerden in dit houwelick tevreden te syn ende van den bruyts zyde Heyndrick Joosten de schoenmaecker ende Ariaengen Callebouts vader en moeder van den bruyt die verclaerden in dit houwelick te vreden te syn.'' Hier volgt ook nog de acte uit het poorterboek onder 1605: ''Daniel Meeusen van den Thole, veerthien ofte vijfthien iaeren hier gewoont hebbende. '' Met in de kantlijn: ''Enden Sol Op recken VIS'' Dit zou dus betekenen dat hij 6 schellingen heeft betaald (ingelost) en reeds omstreeks 1588 in Arnemuiden woonde. Verder kunnen we hieruit opmaken, "van den Thole", dat Daniel waarschijnlijk woonde in het huis "De oude Thol" gelegen aan de [http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Langstraat,Arnemuiden Langstraat] in Arnemuiden wat eigendom was van Adriaen Janssen Gast. De zoon van Adriaen, Cornelis trouwde in 1612 met Trineken Meeuws, jongere zus van Daniël. Zie artikel: "Het voorgeslacht van de familie van Belsen/van Belzen uit Arnemuiden" Arneklanken December 2017 door Aad Verouden. Daniels moeder heette dus Margriete van Bilsen en zijn oudste zoon Bartholomeus, dus zal zijn vader wel Bartholo(meus) zijn geweest. In de gerechtelijke archieven van Arnemuiden wordt genoemd ene Bartholomeus Danielsz contra Dirrick Pieters Pronck, schipper op "De Moriaen", acte op 4.4.1578. Dit brengt ons echter niet verder. Daniel had 2 zusters, te weten Janneken (zij was getuige bij de doop van zijn dochter Trineken op 11.8.1604) en Trineken. Zijn zuster Trineken trouwt als jonge dochter van Rees in Gelderlant op 18/2-11/4-1612 met Cornelis Adriaens (Gast) te Arnemuiden. Is hun vader Bartholomeus misschien schipper of soldaat geweest? Geertruidenberg en Rees liggen beide aan de rivier en zijn beide garnizoensplaats (geweest). In de vroegste boeken van Arnemuiden zoals doop- en trouwboeken, poorterboek, belasting-cohieren van huizen komt men Margriete van Bilsen en (haar man) Meeus niet tegen (noch als eigenaar, noch als bewoner), evenmin bij de avondmaalgangers. Onderzoek in Tholen, Hasselt (Bilsen-Belgie), 's Hertogenbosch en Rees (bij Kleef-Duitsland) heeft tot nog toe niets opgeleverd (ook niet via patronymen). Daniel Meeusen en Tanneken Heyndricks kregen 2 dochters: Trineken en Josintgen, en 4 zonen: Barthlo(meus), Adriaen, Cornelis en Daniel. Alle vier zonen trouwden in Arnemuiden en hun kinderen begonnen de naam van Belsen te gebruiken. : Opmerking: Hier rijst de vraag waarom moeder Margiete niet is vernoemd. Ongeveer 5000 namen uit geheel Nederland, zelfs tot in de Verenigde Staten zijn in de stamboom, die Lieven van Belzen heeft gemaakt, (op PC) verwerkt. {{Image|file=Joop_van_Belzen-3.jpg |align=m |size=l |caption=Arnemuiden 1791 }} === 1819-1910 Legendarische figuur=== Lieven Tak van Belzen en Jerina Geldhof kregen twaalf kinderen waarvan zeven er vlak na de geboorte stierven. In een stormnacht moest hij zijn oudste zoon [[Van_Belzen-47|Jacob]] van 20 jaar los laten, waarna die verdronk toen ze met de rest van de bemanning op de zijkant van Lieven's vissloep zaten, nadat die was omgeslagen. Ze werden gered en de sloep werd ontredderd en zeilloos te Hellevoetsluis binnengebracht. De kinderen van Lieven werden met bijnaam naar hun moeder genoemd, Wullem van Riene, Kees van Riene, Joos van Riene en Mientje van Riene.'' {{Image|file=Van_Belsen-5-8.jpg |align=c |size=l |caption=Hoogaarsen }} Ook zijn twee broers van Lieven, Joos en Jacob, verdronken. Joos verdronk in de stormnacht van 3 november 1863 op de rede van Vlissingen (de rest van de bemanning werd gered door Karel Lievens van de Gruiter). Jacob verdronk in de stormnacht van 3 op 4 december 1863 aan boord van "De Jonge Jacob" (bazaanschuit van Lieven de Ridder), voor de Hollandse kust, waarbij alle bemanningsleden omkwamen (7 vissers). Het tragische is dat Jacob één maand tevoren aan boord bij zijn broer Joos werd gered.'' ===1918 Noodlottig ongeval=== {{Image|file=Van_Belzen-3-5.jpg |align= |size=l |caption=Schoolfoto met zes van de kinderen van Lieven van Belzen en Cornelia Marijs. }} Op 15 februari 1918 kreeg de Arm 16, terwijl ze in het Oostgat aan het vissen was, een mijn in haar netten. De mijn werd voorzichtig losgemaakt en verankerd. Loodsboot no. 14 met schipper Vader, ingericht voor het onschadelijk maken van mijnen, ging er op af, nam de Arm 16 op sleeptouw en ging op zoek naar de mijn. Die ontdekten ze ter hoogte van Westkapelle. Op het moment dat de marine officier die zich aan boord van de no.14 bevond, overstapte op de Arm 16 , liep de loodsboot op een mijn. De gevolgen waren verschrikkelijk: schipper Vader, de zeeloodsen A.Hoek en B.Spuy alsmede de pilot studentsA. Ruyg en P.J. Lefeber en zeemilicien Brouwer werden gedood. Van de vissers vonden schipper '''Lieven van Belzen''', zijn zoon (17) Cornelis van Belzen en matroos Hendrik Marijs (25) de dood. Verder vielen er nog verschillende gewonden. Citaat uit het boek “Een eeuw loodsen op en om de Schelde” * Het stoomloodsvaartuig '14' loopt in de aanloop van het Oostgat op een mijn, waarbij acht opvarenden om het leven komen. Gelijktijdig explodeert (door dezelfde mijn) ook het ''vissersvaartuig 'Arnemuiden 16'', waarbij drie vissers omkomen. * Bron: L.L. von Münching: 'De verliezen van de Nederlandse koopvaardij in WO I'. {{Image|file=Granny_s_pictures-11.png |align=m |size=l }}

Here are some of the tasks that I think need to be done. I'll be working on them, and could use your help. * Finding Swedish emigration paperwork for Jon Halverson and his wife Marta (Ersdotter) to either US or Canada - believed to be US prior to 1900. * Finding father for Jon Halverson (1845 - 1933) * Will you join me?

This project seeks to enter the genealogical information of the book "Jordans : westward from Ireland", published and authored by Mary Wallace and Phyllis Carlson, 1991. If you have a copy of the book and wish to help out, feel free to add profiles. For simplicity's sake, I'll be going in the order laid out from the book.
As such, I'll keep a page tracker on this page.

The following Bible text is copied from a [https://www.genealogy.com/forum/surnames/topics/phillips/17359/ genealogy.com forum] to preserve the information. Joseph Phillips and Mary had a family Bible it has been passed down through the years and ended out of hands of the Phillips. The Bible is still in North Carolina what happened was a granddaughter down the line got married to a man and she died. He remarried to another woman and it was passed down to her children.I have tried to get it back in the family hands again but without any luck. I called them this year to see if they would sell it to me but no answer back. The Bible has been copied down twice and information is the same. I do have copies of the original Bible but they are very hard to read. I will post a copy of it here. Old Joseph Phillips bible was printed 1751 in England, according to this it would have not been used by the family until then. In any case the old bible has Joseph Phillips name imprinted on it with gold print. The whereabouts of this bible has been lost. It is said to be in the hands of Mrs. Roger Lee Bodenhamer of Taccoville, North Carolina, I ran a Social Security in North Carolina and found one Roger L. Bodenhamer he was born in 1908. This maybe the reason why the bible has not shown up in a few years. I have found on the internet two version of the family bible. New information the Phillips Family Bible has been found it still is in North Carolina I have been in contact with them. January 2008 =='Kiger Version of the Joseph Phillips Bible'== The Joseph Phillips Bible, survives and lists the following information (originally transcribed from the original bible by Wenzola Robinson Kiger). I have a photocopy with transcription found in my grandfather's notes on his Phillips ancestors: ===Page 1=== *Calvin Pettitt was born May the 13, 1842 and departed this life August the 18, 1843 *Joseph Phillips was born July the 6, 1790 *William Phillips was born December the 5, 1740 ===Page 2=== *William Phillips was born May the 28 day 1800 #Melindy was born July then 9 1816 #Salley was born August the 17 1817 #Lezebeth was born February the 17 1818 #Abraham was born May the 30 1820 #Mary was born February 5 1822 #Rachel was born August the 24 1823 #William was born January the 8, 1825 #Frankey was born May the 7 1827 #Lewis was born August the 19 1830 *Joseph Phillips and Cathren was married April the 23 1815 (1835?) #Perlina Jackson was born May the 12 1840 #William Jackson was born the 24 October 1841 ===Page 3=== *Joseph Phillips and Mary Phillips was maryed December the 1st 1733 *:Present: James Pendelten :This is that this BOOK shall never be sold or go out of the name Joseph Phillips, Senr :The ages of the children of Joseph Phillips and Mary Phillips, his wife: #Benet Phillips was born September the 8 1734 #Jane Phillips was born February 12, 1736 #Joseph Phillips was born May 9, 1738 #William Phillips was born December 5 1740 #John Phillips was born May 28 1742 #Mary Ann Phillips was born February 2 1748 #Elizabeth Phillips was born November 9 1751 #Abram Phillips was born September 13 1754 ===Page 4=== *Benet Phillips - Elizabeth Phillips was maryed the 9 of September 1756 #Joseph Phillips was born twentieth sixth day of June 1757 *February 15 176(3?) - John Phillips and Avery Phillips was maryed #January the 16 1764 - Elizabeth Phillips was born. Daughter of John and Avery Phillips *Joseph Phillips and Phildelphia Phillips maryed March the 4 1762 #Arswell Phillips was born March the 4 1763 to Joseph Phillips and Philadelphia Phillips his wife *Henry Tilley and Jane Tilley was maryed 12 of April 1751 ( or 1757?) #Lewis Tilley son to Henry Tilley and Jane Tilley was born the 18 of June 1758 #William Phillips was born December twentieth 3 1793 #Edmon Phillips was born the 12 day of June 1781 ==Nichols Version of the Joseph Phillips Bible== :Luther Byrd got a copy of the bible's information in 1948 from Mrs. Mary Ann Nichols of Yadkin County. He never saw the bible itself. His information agrees with the above but adds several more generations. Either his information comes from a different bible or additional information was added to the transcript he copied. Here is what he adds: :Same list as above for the children of Joseph and Mary Phillips (with following additional information) *Joseph Phillips was born about 1710 and family legend says his wife Mary, was Dutch *Bennett died during the Revolutionary War, his will being probated in Surry County in August 1777. *Joseph Phillips was appointed captain from Surry County during then Revolutionary War on 3 May 1776 *Abram Phillips md. Sarah Elizabeth Ridings in 1780 (a date which Mr. Byrd disputes) and had the following children: #Fannie Married William Shore (Surry marriage bond dated 23 Oct 1819) #Aggie married Willaim Shore #Polly #William ( twin ) #John ( twin ) born 4 FEB 1804 ( date from Mrs. Nichols ) #Lewis, died young #Edward, died young #Dice, died young #Santford, born 15 JAN 1816, died Thanksgiving Day, 1905 #Nancy, born 1805, married Lakey ::William Phillips born 4 FEB 1804 married in 1824 to Sallie Glenn, she being born 16 May 1799 and died 16 APR 1855. He was then married second in 1858 to Millie Spillman, who lived only a short while, and he then married third in 1862 to Jane Hunter. There were children by the first and third marriages, and Mrs. Nichols records (taken from that old Bible) shows them as follows: *By first marriage #Abram Phillips, born 8 SEP 1825 #Jeremiah Phillips, born 24 May 1827 *By second marriage #William Green Phillips, born 7 SEP 1825 (1864) #Elizabeth Jane Phillips, born 7 JUL 1865 #Santford Phillips, born 25 DEC 1866 #Sallie Panelia Phillips, born 1 OCT 1869 #Joseph Phillips, twin born 30 AUG 1871 #Josiah Phillips, twin born 30 AUG 1871 #Mary Ann Phillips, born 6 DEC 1873 md. Willaim Edmund Nichols on 7 Mar 1897 *Also, as above entry for William Phillips born 28 May 1800 (with no further explanation) :Mrs. Nichols told Mr. Byrd that her father, William Phillips, had two cousins named Richard, but knew little else. Her father was the son of Abram who was the son of Old Joseph Phillips. That means that Richard the husband of Juliana Strub would've been the son of one of Old Joseph other sons: Benet, Captain Joseph, William or John. It also means we can rule out Abram as Richard's father. :Foster Phillips had an uncle named Richard who left him some land when he died in 1816. If Foster was also a grandson of Joseph Phillips, perhaps the son of John as some records show, why doesn't either of these Bibles list Richard as one of Joseph's?

== Centenary of Joseph Bamford == When [[Bamford-38|Joseph Bamford]] reached his 100th birthday, local newspapers wrote articles about his long life. === Westmorland Gazette Westmorland Gazette, Nov 7th 1914, transcribed by [[Crowe-461|Jenny Sprod]] === Today Mr Joseph Bamford of Endmoor, completed his one hundredth year, and for the first time, within modern history at any rate, the inhabitants of the neighborhood have a real live centenarian in their midst. He is a wonderful old gentleman, and there are many points in his long career which are interesting. The excitement and gratification which, in this country, followed the defeating of Napoleon Bonaparte at Waterloo had hardly died away when Mr Bamford first saw the light, his birth place being the Blue Bell Inn, Heversham. During the whole hundred years of his life he has always lived within easy distance of that place. Seventy out of his seventy five working years he spent under two employers. Not all the longevity of his family, however, is contained within himself as he has a brother living who is 97. His father, who was a gardener and seedsman, joined the majority when he was 89, and this after he had sustained and recovered from a broken leg five years before, and his paternal grandfather, who was a servant with the earlier Wakenfield families at Sedgwick, was drowned at The Force in the River Kent, when he was 92. The subject of this notice had a better education than most youths of his day, as he was allowed to attend the old Grammer School, Heversham, till he was in his teens. A couple of years under the paternal roof preceded a short period in service. Then he settled down to lengthy employment on the Sizeburgh estate. At the outset he worked on the home farm, later taking up the duties of gamekeeper, and he was on the estate thirty-seven years before he migrated to [http://www.pastscape.org.uk/hob.aspx?hob_id=1086908 Messrs. Wakefield, at Gatebeck]. In varying capacities he was employed at the latter place 30 years, quitting active life fourteen years ago at the age of eighty six. He has three sons living, one being a pensioner of the Cumberland and Westmorland police, another working at Gatebeck, and the third lives in Blackpool, and there are also four daughters. Of grandchildren he has somewhere between 89 and 90; there are also between 30 and 40 great-grandchildren, and the branches of the genealogical tree ramify into the fifth generation. Three of his grandsons have been at the front, one now being a prisoner in Germany; another only on Monday returned to a base hospital somewhat severely wounded, whilst the third is still in the firing line in the North of France. Another grandson was wounded at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Spion_Kop Spion Kop] in the Boer War, and a son who died some year ago, spent a considerable part of his life with the colours in India. Other grandchildren and some great-grandchildren are also serving the country at present. Mr. Bamford keep in good health, and though he never takes any walks abroad, he can frequently be seen out of doors in the vicinity of his home. After he had entered the nineties he see to read the newspaper, but his eyesight is now diminished and he has difficulty in recognizing acquaintances who ? upon him, though it is usually not very long before he “makes them out”. He has a good appetite, and though it is generally mid-day when he gets up, he “sleeps like a top” all night. When occasionally suffering from the infirmities which “flesh is heir to” he wonders what ails him. “Well Joe” said an acquaintance on Wednesday, “how are you today?” “Oh” was the cheery reply, in a resonant voice, “I’ve come round again”. On local events his memory is almost unfailing. Happenings of a year or twenty years ago are recounted by him with accuracy, whist he follows the fortunes of the war with keenness. As is only to be expected, he has lost touch with the fourth generation of his family , but can tell you where most of his grandchildren are located, whether it is Australia, America, New Zealand, or different towns in England. Always ready witted and a fund of repartee, this has not left him in his old age. “Well,” said a tradesman caller this week, “I think you ought to have a gallon of whisky on your birthday, seeing you’re a hundred”. “Quite right”, said Old Joe, “but if you send half-a-gallon it’ll do.” Though a non-smoker, he has been an inveterate snuff-taker for very many years, and a good number of his friends and neighbour, who feel a pardonable pride in him on the attainment of his century, have anticipated his birthday but the presentation of a silver snuff box. === Westmorland Mercury and Times Westmorland Mercury and Times, November 6th, 1914, transcribed by [[Miller-17457|Joe Miller]] === Mr Joseph Bamford, of Endmoor, celebrates the 100th anniversary of his birth tomorrow (Saturday) he having been born on November 7th 1815 ''(sic)''. He is a real Westerman, as he first saw the light at the Blue Bell Inn, Heversham, and practically the whole of his 100 years has been spent in the locality. He graduated from the Old Grammar School at Heversham and for thirty seven years was connected with the Sizergh Estate, first at the home farm, and later he was gamekeeper. When fifty-seven years of age he emigrated to Gatebeck where he was employed in varying capacities at the Gunpowder Works and he continued in harness there until he was eighty-six years of age when he retired from participation in the work. Mr Bamford possesses good health and on most days he can be seen out of doors. His memory is good particularly on local events and he follows the fortunes of the war with keenness. He has had three grandsons in action, one being a wounded prisoner in Germany, another wounded and lying in a home hospital, and the third is now at the front. His grandchildren number over fourscore and there are four generations on a good many of the family branches. == Sources == === Footnotes ===

=== Westmorland Mercury Westmorland Mercury and Times, November 6th 1914 === The death took place on Friday of [[Bamford-38|Mr. Joseph Bamford]], the Endmoor centenarian. He was 102 years. Since he turned the century upwards of two years ago his faculties have rapidly declined and no surprise was felt when it became known that he had passed away in his sleep. He had been bed-ridden for upwards of a year. He was born at the Blue Bell Inn, Heversham, on November 7th, 1814, when Napoleon Buonaparte ''(sic)'' was thought to be safe on the Isle of Elba, though a few months later the famous Corsican warrior re-escaped and returning to Paris, commenced his 'hundred days' reign, which however culminated in his final overthrow and his consequent banishment to St. Helena. Mr Bamford lived long enough to see another Napoleon III, a nephew of the famous general, compelled to abdicate the throne of France and in his closing years he witnessed another European Emperor make an attempt to attain world supremacy by the despotic power of militarism. Mr Bamford lived under six English monarchs and up to some years ago he had recollections of being at five coronation festivities. When a lad seven years of age he was taken to the festivities at Levens when George IV was crowned and ten years later he was at similar festivities when William IV was crowned. When Queen Victoria was crowned he went to the Kendal festivities and he was present at Endmoor for Edward VII and George V coronation days. He was a man of fine physique towering in his younger days nearly six feet and was possessed of much vigour. Rarely was he ill during his long span. When he quitted the paternal roof in his teens he put in a few years at service, and after leaving this he had only two situations in his life. For upwards of thirty years he acted as gamekeeper for the Strickland family at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sizergh_Castle_and_Garden Sizergh] and then he was occupied for a lengthy period at the [http://www.pastscape.org.uk/hob.aspx?hob_id=1086908 Gatebeck Gunpowder Works]. He retired when he was 87. His [[Storey-322|wife]] died twenty-two years ago and there are three sons and three daughters living. The [[Bamford-46|eldest daughter]] is 76 and the [[Bamford-48|eldest son] 74. Up to Wednesday last the latter had had daily intercourse with the father for upwards of forty years, but this was interrupted on that day by a fall the son sustained and by which he fractured his knee-cap. He is now an inmate of the County Hospital.

Up to Wednesday last the latter had had daily intercourse with the father for more than forty years, but this record was interrupted on that day by a fall the son sustained and by which he fractured his knee-cap. He is now undergoing treatment in the County Hospital. The united age of the three sons is 210 years. Other instances of longevity in the family is that of a younger brother of Mr Bamford who died during recent months at the age of 98: his father who died at 88, and his grandfather who passed away at 96.

In 1649, a few of the Dedham citizens upset with what they were seeing happening to their village appointed Ralph Wheelock leader of a group to form and govern a new village apart from Dedham that was to become the Town of Medfield. Medfield was located about twelve miles southwest of Dedham also on the Charles River. In May of 1651, Ralph Wheelock and his family, Joseph Clarke and his family, and about twelve other families moved their homes to this new settlement. Joseph Clarke and his wife Alice were to spend the remainder of their lives in this new settlement. Joseph was 38 years-old when he relocated for the final time to his new land in Medfield ...

In 1678, he donated “two bushielles Endian Corn” towards the building of the “new collidg at Cambridge [Harvard]”, and he and his wife remained steadfast members of the Old Parish Church in Medfield until his death in 1684 at the age of 71.

[[Clarke-39|Joseph Clarke Sr. (1618-1694)]] This lengthy bulk text was removed from the profile of Joseph Clarke Senior. This should be reviewed, and, as appropriate, integrated into the existing profile. :: Ancestry :: Note: The paternal ancestry of Dr. John Clarke and his three brothers who likewise settled in Newport is revealed by the records contained in the family Bible which Dr. Clarke brought from England. This Bible, a copy of the Geneva version of 1608, has been handed down in the line descended from John Clarke, son of the immigrant Joseph Clarke, and nephew of Dr. John Clarke. The earliest entries in it, twenty in number, were made by Thomas Clarke of Westhorpe, co. Suffolk, the father of Dr. John Clarke; the next two entries were probably made by one of Thomas Clarke's children; and the next three entries appear to have been made by Joseph Clarke, youngest son of Thomas, who was the only one of the four brothers who came to New England who left descendants in this country. Two more entries record the deaths of Joseph Clarke and his son John, and the remaining entries relate to members of the family of later generations. ::: A few extracts from these Bible records were published in the "Magazine of New England History", vol. 1, pages 202 et seq. (October, 1891), and all the records were printed verbatim in "The 'Clarke' Families of Rhode Island," by the late George Austin Morrison, Jr., published in New York in 1902. From the Bible records and from entries found in the parish registers of Westhorpe, co. Suffolk, Mr. Morrison was able to trace the paternal ancestry of Dr. John Clarke and his brothers back to John Clarke, their great-grandfather. ::: FROM THE CLARKE FAMILY BIBLE ::: (Entries made by Thomas Clarke) ::: John Clarke, my grandfather, was buried 3: March: 1559 ::: John Clarke, my father was baptised 11: February 1541 ::: Tomas Clarke, my unkle, was baptised 4: January: 1543 ::: Katherine Kooke, dafter of John Kooke was baptised the 12: of february: 33 year Henry 8: ano dni 1541.

This is what I put together about Joseph De Groat from what I have. Glenna Joseph DE GROAT born (1746??) (Albany) New York/or New Jersey? married c. 1792 Quebec Hannah RUITER (bapt. 4 March 1774 Schaghticoke - 1813/1814 ) d/o Henrick RUITER and Rebecca DAAT died 7 January 1830? Albany New York? Joseph's surname was spelled various ways, such as De Groat, De Groot, de Groat, De Grote and Desgrotes. In Colonial America the surname might have been either De Groot or De Groote or even Groot, Groat or Graadt, although his descendants always put the De in their surname. Joseph De Groat was likely born in either New Jersey or New York, where there were De Groat or De Groot families. There were Groats, who were descendants of Groats of New England in Quebec and living near his sons Henry and Peter in Upper Canada, but it seems Joseph did not belong to that family. He could however, have belonged to a family of Groats who had been Graadts and were Palatine Germans who lived in Albany County. Joseph was said to have been born in Albany, New York, by descendants who joined the Sons and Daughters of the American Revolution. He may have been in Albany County just before he came to Canada or at the time of the War of Independence, since his wife's parents Henry Ruiter and Rebecca Daat were from Albany County. They were at Pittstown before the War and had also lived at Hoosic and had property at Stone Arabia. Joseph may however, have been born in Westchester or Dutchess County, or be may have been from the family of De Groats who lived on Staten Island in Richmond County, New York. since those were Loyalist areas, unlike Ulster County. Most of those with the surname De Groot/De Groote lived in New Jersey and some of them sided with the British. There was a John De Groat who lived at Duanesberg, New York on the 1790 New York census. Other families who lived near the De Groats in Quebec came from Dutchess County such as the Mannings and there were Mannings who also lived at Duanesberg. Marriage Joseph De Groat married Hannah (Annatie) Ruiter/Reuter c. 1792 in Quebec. Hannah Ruiter, was the daughter of Henrick/Henry Ruiter/Ruyder/Reuter and Rebecca Daat. She was baptized as Annatie Ruiter, at the Dutch Reform Church, Schaghticoke, Albany County, New York, on 4 March 1774. Annatie in Dutch or German is translated as Anna, but it was translated into English by the Ruiters as Hannah. Hannah and her sister Margaret are not mentioned as children of Henry Ruiter and Rebecca in sketches written about Henry Ruiter, but she is mentioned on a list Henry made of his children who had taken the Oath of Allegiance to the British Crown. (See below). Her mother's surname is also given at times as Staats and Dooth. Hannah was either born in Pittstown, New York or at Hoosack, New York. The deed for her father's property at Pittstown is dated June of 1774, a few months after her baptism. The Ruiters had been living at Hoosack/Hoosick/ Hoosac before moving to Pittstown. Not long after Hannah was born, her father Henry Ruiter joined the British side during the American Revolution. Henry had fought with the British during the French and the Indian Wars. The Ruiters were of Palatine German descent and been in New York state since 1710, and it was Henry's grandfather who had come from Germany to America. The Germans in the area where he had settled, particularly the ones who had come from Germany not long before the Revolution started, sided with the British. Descendants of Palatines who had gone to Ireland at the same time as Hannah's ancestors came to New York, had more recently arrived in New York state along with other Irish immigrants sided with the British too, Many Scottish officers who fought in the French and Indian Wars had been granted land in New York state and they too recruited like Henry Ruiter did for the British. Hannah was a small child at the time of the Battle of Bennington, that took place near where she lived. After General Burgoyne was defeated at Saratoga in October of 1777 her father was forced to flee to Canada. Her mother tried to carry on until finally in 1780 she too fled to Quebec. Hannah's parents and siblings were among the refugees at St. John, (St. John's/St. Johns) Quebec. In 1781, Hannah's mother Rebecca died not long after her arrival in Quebec, and her father remarried in 1783. Joseph De Groat's father-in-law Henry Ruiter was a Loyalist, but Joseph may have been a, Patriot who fought on the side of the Americans in the War of Independence. Mary K. James wrote that her uncle was able to obtain a SAR as a descendant of the Joseph De Groat who married Hannah Writer. (The spelling should be Ruiter). Harriet (Smith) McPhee was the first to join the Daughters of the American Revolution as a descendant of Joseph. On her application it indicates that Joseph DeGroat was a private in Capt. James Waldrom's (Waldron's) Co., Albany Co. Militia. This is from the book - New York Men in the Revolution, pages 203, 208 - DAR, Natl. #21484. Her full name was Harriet Lorena Nolan Eshelman McPhee. Harriet WELLS daughter of Catherine De Groat and Jonathan Wells married Charles M. SMITH. Their daughter Caroline (Carrie) Sophia born 1849 married Smith W. NOLAN. Carrie SMITH and Smith NOLAN's daughter Harriet (Hattie) Lorena born 1864 married first. Benjamin Franklin ESHELMAN and then John MCPHEE. Hattie died in 1934. She joined the DAR in the 1920s. This branch of Joseph De Groat's descendants might however, have been mistaken over which Joseph De Groat was the father of Catherine De Groat. who married Jonathan Wells. Catherine's father Joseph De Groat may rather have helped out Henry Ruiter and have been of some kind of service to the British side. Rick J. Ashton has in his The Life of Henry Ruiter 1742 - 1819. a transcription of the land petition Lower Canada Land Papers Ruel, Ignace - Ruiter, Henry & others RG 1 L 3 Vol. 171 where Henry Ruiter mentions that his "Sons, Philip, John and Henry Ruiter and his Sons in Law Joseph DeGroat and Henry Able who have families and who also were in the King's Service last war." If Joseph did help the British side it could have been after having been taken prisoner by the British side. No records have been found of any De Groats or De Groots as having come to Canada as Loyalists. However, there are at least three De Groats/De Grotes/De Groots who were in Canada who had married daughters of Loyalists, including Joseph De Groat, but there appear to have been no De Groats who petitioned for land or were granted land as Loyalists in their own right. John De Groat's wife, Mary McCaffrey was the daughter of the Loyalist John McCaffrey. John De Groat came to Canada to the Cornwall area in 1790 according to his land petition. Staats De Grote's son Peter De Grote's wife Phebe Griffin was the daughter of the Loyalist Joseph Griffin. Staats petitioned for a lease, not land, in 1801. However, both John and Staats may have been Loyalists who did not come to Canada until 1790 or later and therefore they were not eligible to petition for land grants as Loyalists in Ontario since they did not get on the Loyalist List as having arrived by 1788. Joseph De Groat was granted land not as a Loyalist, but as an "associate" of Henry Ruiter, his father-in-law who vouched for his loyalty and put on his petition that Joseph had served the King. WHEN DID JOSEPH DE GROAT COME TO CANADA? The only records so far found of any De Groats on Lower Canada land records are of a Joseph De Groat, a Joseph De Grote. and a Joseph Desgrotes. On Dr. Philip Ruiter's records he mentions a "Joseph De Groot" who worked for him. All those Josephs appear to refer to the same man, the Joseph De Groat who married Hannah Ruiter, daughter of Henry Ruiter. Joseph De Groat may have come to Canada around 1790 to 1792. He does not appear on any records until perhaps 1792, as an associate of Henry Ruiter on Henry's land petiton of that year. I thought Joseph had been in New Brunswick before coming to Quebec because his son Henry De Groat's family seemed to think Henry might have been born in New Brunswick. However, it is more likely that Henry was born at St. John's (also spelled St. Johns or St. John) Quebec. Fort St. John's was where Loyalists such as Joseph De Groat's father-in-law Henry Ruiter were staying for a time during and after the American Revolution. Henry De Groat's family may have thought that if he was born at St. John, it was probably St. John, New Brunswick. Henry was born in 1794 and his father may have been in St. John , Quebec at that time. There are a number of Land Petitions at the National Archives, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada (PAC, Public Archives Canada) where Joseph De Groat's name is mentioned. I did not check these land petitions. The Archivist wrote in a letter containing the list of petitions that the names are in lists of petitioners and therefore there is not much information about individuals. Joseph De Groat's name likely only appears as an associate of Henry Ruiter on each land record. Henry Ruiter had been an officer in a Loyalist corps and therefore was eventually granted a large amount of acreage for himself and his associates. From the National Archives of Canada when queried about a Joseph De Groat: Lower Canada Land Records (RG1 L3) (vol. 129, pp. 63572- 63580. Reel C-2543_ (vol. 148, pp. 72579-72583, reel C-2550) (vol. 171, pp. 83314 - 83362, reel C-2559) (vol. 194, pp. 92515 - 92522, reel C-2566) "Please note that many of the Lower Canada land petitions are lengthy group petitions. As you ancestor's name may appear on only one page within the entire document, may I suggest that you first consult the microfilm copy and identify specific page numbers before requesting copies." Lower Canada Land Records from an index on a microfilm reel that I copied from gives some idea of the dates. De Groat Joseph 1791 - 1799 Lower Canada Land pp. 83314 - 83362 (This is the Land Petition of Henry Ruiter's, 9 November 1797, LCLP (Lower Canada Land Petitions), 83339-42, PAC 1792 - 1795 De Groat Joseph Lower Canada Land pp. 63572 - 63580 1796 Joseph De Groat Lower Canada Land - 72579 - 83 I copied 1793 Joseph De Groat Lower Canada Land - 92515 - 92522 but perhaps should be later?? Joseph De Groat then seems to become Joseph De Grote (He was granted the 200 acres in Potton Township in 1803. This is likely the grant numbers rather than the petitions.

The copy of the petition I have from the microfilm is blurry and must be difficult to read on the microfilm reader. On the copy I have I can only see the first part of the "Joseph" and black where surname) Note the dates Henry Ruiter petitioned earlier. Those might be the above mentioned land petitions where Joseph De Groat's name is mentioned as an associate. Lower Canada Land Papers Ruel, Ignace - Ruiter Henry & others RG 1 L 3 Vol. 171 To His Excellency Robert Prescott Esquire Captain General and Governor in Chief of the Province of Lower Canada, General and Commander of the Battalion of British Militia on the Frontiers and in the District of St. Johns- Humbly sheweth That your petitioner, at the commencement of the American war, abandoned his property, which was considerable in the Province of New York, joined the King's Forces and served during the War in this Country, as Captain of Roger's Provincial Corps- That your petitioner was employed during the whole of the American War, at the immediate risque of his life, in the Enemy's Country, gaining intelligence of their motions, and their designs, always conducting himself to the approbation of the several Commanders in Chief in this Country for which extra service he received no compensations- That your Petitioner suffered very much in his private fortunate, for which he has not received compensation, from circumstances too tedious to trouble your Excellency with- That your petitioner has never received any of the King's Waste Lands, either for himself or family, as other Captains of other Loyalist Corps have received- That when the granting of the King's Waste Lands on the east side of Lake Champlain, was first talked of, in consequence of the encouragement held out by General Clarke's Proclamation of the 7th of February 1792, your Petitioner and Mr. Conroy, with three hundred others, applied for the Townships of Sutton and Potton, as appears by their several Petitions of February and March of that year- That afterwards, the beginning of February 1795, when our petitioner found that Lands were promised by Orders of the Governor in Council, to other people on more favourable terms, whose pretensions were not equal to his, and that most of the original petitioners were to obtain Lands as Associates in different Townships, your petitioner with Mr. Conroy, presented to the Commissioners appointed for the purpose, lists of 40 associates each, as was then customary. That the associates brought forward by your Petitioner (approved Loyalists) having been approved as well by the Governor in Council as by the Commissioners, having taken the oaths to His Majesty and having complyed with the forms and conditions required, your petitioner, prevented by sickness from coming to Quebec to solicit for his Warrant of Survey and Patent, and never conceiving that for want of that form, he should not be dealt with as favourable as others and conceiving that the faith of the Government was pledged to him, your petitioner at a very great expence and trouble, to the detriment of his health, completed the Survey of the Township of Potton, with its subdivisions. That the expence attending the said Survey and the improvements of some of the land has much reduced your petitioner in his circumstances, which he had flattered himself would have been considerably bettered from the advantages that would have accrued from the Grant of the said Township- That your petitioner is the father of 13 Children, several of whom are young and look up to him for support- Your Petitioner therefore prays that your Excellency in Council may be pleased to take his case and services into consideration and may direct, 1st That the granting of Land in said Township of Potton may be suspended until such time as your petitioner's Claims and Services are fully investigated, except in such cases where some of your petitioners original associates, who were recommended for 1200 acres, have made Locations, and to them not before compensation has been made to your Petitioner for the expence and trouble he has been at in the Survey in proportion to the land they may obtain- 2nd. That your Excellency and Council may be pleased to grand in said Township to your petitioner and his numerous family, such portion of Land as other Captains in Loyalist Corps have obtained elsewhere for themselves and family, and that in particular the lots he has improved may be granted to him as part of the Lands now prayed for vizt. Lots No. 8 & 9 in first Concession No. 1, 3 & 4 in 4th Concession and No. 1, 8 & 9 in 5th Concession, all of 200 Acres each - Lastly Your petitioner prays That until such time as your Excellency and Council are pleased to determine what further indulgence you may be pleased to grant your Petitioner in said Township, that his Sons, Philip, John and Henry Ruiter and Sons in Law Joseph DeGroat and Henry Able, who have families and who also were in the King's Service last war, such proportions of land as in your Excellency's and the Council's benevolence and wisdom may seem meet- Permit your petitioner further to set forth, in addition to the hardships already noticed, that he must be a considerable sufferer by the Grant of 6000 Acres, which he just now learned has been largely given Major Maclean; but which he is persuaded would not have taken place had your Excellency been apprized of your petitioner's having, at a great expense, surveyed and subdivided the whole Township- Wherefore your petitioner humbly prays your Excellency to be graciously pleased to take the premises into consideration, and to grant such relief, upon the whole, as your Excellency in your wisdom and justice may think fitting and expedient. And your Petitioner, as in duty bound, will every pray- By Procuration from Henry Ruiter Henry Caldwell Quebec 9th November, 1797 This land petition of Henry Ruiter's is transcribed in The Life of Henry Ruiter 1742 - 1819 by Rick J. Ashton, Copyright 1974, by Rick J. Ashton, Appendix A. "Selected Documents on the Life of Henry Ruiter." I used Ashton's transcription instead of trying to read my copy of the land petition from the microfilm. Rich Ashton wrote: "This booklet had its origins in the interest aroused in Frank H. Woods of Chicago by the letters of his grandfather Frederick M. Woods, recounting his 1909 visit to Potton, Quebec. Curious about the life, family, and circumstances of his earliest traceable North American ancestor, his great-great-great grandfather Henry Ruiter, he commissioned me to carry out the research and the writing. Throughout the project he has been generous with encouragement and financial support. I wish to thank two other individuals for their help, Lorne E. Barnett, another great -great- great grandson of Henry Ruiter, gave freely of his knowledge and his hospitality. He had donated to the Brome County Historical Society important Henry Ruiter papers, originally collected by his father, Edgar C. Barnett. Miss Marion L. Phelps, Curator of the Brome County Historical Society, Knowlton, Quebec, opened her archives of the history of the Eastern Townships and gave me some valuable research clues." Ashton might have looked at the actual land petition for Henry Ruiter, dated Quebec 9th November 1797 and could read "his Sons, Philip, John and Henry Ruiter and his Sons in Law Joseph DeGroat and Henry Able who have families and who also were in the King's Service last war, such proportions of land as your Excellency's and the Council's benevolence and wisdom may seem meet" that I cannot decipher on the microfilm copy I have since the name is black but can see what looks like a J.

Her name is Elizabeth as appears from her Letter of 14 of July) (The clerk had confused Henry Ruiter's wife Katherine with his sister-in-law Elizabeth) Under Henry Ruiter's descendants Rick Ashton has: Children: i. Gertruid (Gertruide) Ruiter b. 12 April 1764, Hoosic, N.Y. m. Joseph de Groat, before 9 November 1797, prob. Caldwell's Manor, Quebec. ii. Philip Ruiter b. 1765, Hoosic, N. Y. d. after 3 February 1802 iii. John Ruiter b. 16 June 1768, Hoosic, N.Y. v. Hannah Ruiter b. 1771-1780, Hoosic or Pittstown, N.Y. d. after 3 February 1802. vi. Margaret Ruiter b. 1771 - 1780, Hoosic or Pittstown, N. Y. d. after 3 February 1802. Then he mentioned Ashton gives no source for saying Joseph was married to Gertuid and I think he guessed. He wrote: "For the first and second generations, it includes a variety of printed and manuscript sources cited throughout the text." That must mean he got it from the land petition dated 1797, since Joseph not mentioned in other documents in the book. Ashton appears to have decided Gertuid was married to Joseph de Groat because of that land petition where it does not give the name of the daughter. It was the second daughter Elizabeth b. 8 September 1770, Hoosic, NY who married Henry Abel. He probably thought the other one whose husband was mentioned was the oldest daughter. Henry Ruiter had a second young wife and more children. It was his daughter Mary who married John Barnett and Rebecca's who married Jedediah Woods, November 1806. and so mostly those lines in the book. Ashton has nothing further on Gertruid, Philip, Hannah and Margaret from the first family, children of Rebecca. Those in the first family mentioned with a bit more information are John and Elizabeth. Those I have noted on the internet researching Ruiters are descendants of the second family of Henry Ruiter, with wife Katherine/Catherine Friot. OCCUPATION: MASON Joseph De Groat, like his son Henry, grandson James and great grandson Harvey was a mason by occupation. The first record of Joseph De Groat/De Groot in Quebec that has been found, is a record of Joseph DeGroot as having worked for Dr. Philip Ruiter. Both Henry Ruiter and his brother John had sons named Philip. "Philip Ruiter Papers." Missisquoi Water by the Mill, Volume 13, (Missisquoi Historical Society, 1974), p. 109. Philip Ruiter Dr. to Joseph DeGroot for mason work.

Joseph De Groat likely worked on both sides of the border. In 1796 he may have been over in Rouse/Rousse Point on the New York side of the border. His daughter Catherine was said to have been born in 1796 at Rouge Point, Canada, near Lake Champlain. On the very northern end of Lake Champlain there is a small town called Rouses Point.. POTTON TOWNSHIP BROME COUNTY BEDFORD DISTRICT QUEBEC 1803 Jno. P. Noyes, "The Canadian Loyalists and Early Settlement in the District of Bedford" Third Report of the Missisquoi County Historical Society, 1908, Page 71 Keep in mind that it was about 13 years after the location of the Loyalists before the first Township was created and granted to the associates. The first settlers in the Townships were not Loyalists but Associates. The Government had forbidden settlement on the border. The terms and conditions of the grants to the United Empire Loyalists differed from those of the Associates. Page 98: Potton created in 1797 B. F.

Page 2 "In the meantime there had been a liberal disposition manifested by the Crown and the provincial Governments on behalf of the settlers of the Townships, and large grants of land were made to companies and individuals with the view of encouraging settlement about the beginning of the present century, associations were formed for obtaining grants of wild lands. Their petitions were favorably received." Page 3 The charter for Stanstead was obtained in 1800. The parties comprising the different companies of associates were generally poor. Only one or two in each company were able to sustain the expense of obtaining their charters. These men did as many would do at the present time. They reserved 'the lions share" for themselves, surrendering but one lot of 200 acres to each of the others. Page 6 In 1828, an act was passed by the Provincial Government, by which the existing counties were sub-divided and new ones constituted - Stanstead, Hartley, Barnston, Barford, Bolton and Potton, were taken off from the County of Richelieu, and formed the County of Stanstead.

(reduced.) On the 7th of July 1803, further grants were made to Henry Able”Henry Ruiter the elder, Philip Ruiter, John Ruiter, Jacob Ruiter, Henry Ruiter the younger”" (Mrs. Day did not list Joseph De Groat but she did not include everyone in her lists). "The first permanent location was made in Potton by Moses Eldridge who came from Peacham, Vt., sometime during the later years of the eighteenth century. He was soon after followed by others, many of whom had suffered either voluntary or compulsory exile, and had been engaged in the British service. Prominent among this class, was Col. Henry Ruiter, a U.E. Loyalist from the province of New York, who had served in the army during the revolution, and at its close, made a temporary stay in the seigniory of Foucault, near the outlet of Lake Champlain. Land being grated to him in Potton, he removed there in 1799, and within the few following years, built both grist and saw-mills in the south-western part, which were the first erected in the township. As early as 1798, settlements were commenced by Jacob Gardland and Jonathan Heath, in the locality now know(n) as Meigs' Corners. Col. Ruiter originally owned the land where Masonville now stands, and sold it to Joseph Chandler and John Lewis. In 1803, a saw-mill was erected here, and during the several successive years, others located in the place. In 1809, a building was erected which long served the triple purpose of meeting, school, and court house; and was for many years the only school house in Potton." Joseph may have settled in Potton Township, but I have not found any mention of him in the local history. Douglas Bartlett wrote that Joseph's son Patrick's obituary "states that he was born in Portau.3/17/1807." The place Patrick was born may have been difficult to read in the family bible or was sounded out and came out as Portau. It may be Port au some other word. but most likely it was Potton. and Joseph De Groat did settle in Potton Township and was living there in 1807. Joseph De Groot was granted Lot 9 Range 3 in Potton Township in 1803, and requested to lease Lot 8 Range 3 in 1810. Therefore, he probably lived in Potton Township at least up until the War of 1812. Harry B. Shufelt and others, Along the Old Roads: Lore and Legend of Brome County (Knowlton Quebec: The Brome County Historical Society, 1965, " Glimpses of the Township of Potton-Mansonville," p. 57L "The lot on which the greater part of the village of Mansonville stands - lot 9, range 5, Township of Potton - was granted on May 27, 1803, to Abraham Ruiter, who, we believe, is correctly identified as the son of Col. Henry Ruiter and his second wife who, according to Taylor's History of Brome County (Vol.1) was low Dutch, and her maiden name Friott. Lot 9 of grant 6 is practically all east of the river and it was acquired by purchase form the Crown, partly by Horace Stewart, on Oct. 31, 1851, and partly by Hiram Manson, on Feb. 27, 1869," Many in the Eastern Townships at the time of the War of 1812 and Joseph may have left Quebec. He likely worked on both sides of the border before that time and had to choose side. He may have gone back to the Albany area. His wife Hannah was thought to have died in Albany, New York in 1813. Joseph and Hannah De Groat (or at least Joseph) was still living in October of 1821. The record of Rachel's marriage has that she and John Thomas married with consent of parents. Perhaps this does not mean that both their parents were living? Since Rachel's brother Henry signed as a witness he was probably living at Caldwell Manor at the time. Joseph and Hannah De Groat may have been living in Caldwell Manor as well. However, they may have moved across the border into either Vermont or New York by that time. 1821 Rachel DEGROAT 21 Oct., John THOMAS of Noyan, laborer & Rachel DEGROAT of same place spins. both of major age marr w/consent of parents Henry (N.?)

Diane Granger, who was researching Peter De Groat's family for one of his descendants, did not find any "DeGroats in the 1825 or 1830 censuses of the area" and neither did I, although I had trouble deciphering some of the information on the census records I looked at. Joseph De Groat, like his son Henry and grandson James, was a mason and he may have moved around looking for work or have been working across the border in United States in 1825. Joseph De Groat if he had gone back to United States may have returned to Canada and may have been living with his son Henry De Groat in 1825, in Hemmingford Township, Huntingdon County, Quebec. There was an older male in the household as well as a male age 14 not 18 who might have been Joseph's Patrick? The older male could not have been Henry's wife Elizabeth Covey's father, who lived elsewhere and had a wife. 1825 Lower Canada Census, R929.3 Reel C-717. Huntingdon County.

The information that Joseph De Groat was born in 1746 in Albany comes from Harriet (Smith) McPhee's application to join the DAR. I am wondering if that date should be later?? Mary James wrote: "The original "cousin" who joined the DAR under Joseph DeGroat, would be from Jim Arnold's lineage. Jim is a descendent of Harriet Wells Smith Batchelor, sister of Philiar Wells (her ancestor). I have not heard from Jim lately, but it is Jim whom I received my information on the DeGroats. I do not know if my Uncle Irvin was able to join the SAR under Joseph DeGroat, in the 1980s, just on the previous records provided. The only info that Irvin had sent me on the DeGroats was a copy of his DAR application/ On the application it indicates that Joseph DeGroat was a private in Capt. James Waldrom's Co., Albany Co.

This information sent in by Harriet McPhee to join the DAR is now questioned. The date for his wife's birth appears to be incorrect and the date for Joseph's birth might be as well? No information where the date came from. If he was born in 1746 perhaps Hannah was a second wife? Joseph may have been the male age 60 or over in the household of his son Henry R. De Groat in 1825. (Lower Canada Census 1825, "Hemingford Township," Huntingdon County, Lower Canada). The older male was not Elizabeth Covey, Henry's wife Elizabeth Covey's father, since James Covey had remarried in 1823 and his wife lived until 1845. However, he may have been in Albany by then and gone back to United States at time of War of 1812. Joseph's father-in-law said he was in the service of the King. Rick J. Ashton's, The Life of Henry Ruiter 1742 - 1819, (Chicago, 1874). There is reference in this book to a petition by Henry Ruiter in which he refers to his son in law Joseph deGroat, who was "also in the king's service" and he made a copy of this petition. If he was not born in 1746 he would have to have been born before Hannah, in the 1760s or 1750s to be old enough to be of service to the King. Of course he might have been a Patriot on the American side and Henry Ruiter only put in that in order to get him land in the 1790s. Those who joined the SAR and DAR seemed to have thought that Joseph De Groat was the Joseph De Groat of Marlborough, Ulster County, New York. WAS JOSEPH DE GROAT A PATRIOT FROM ULSTER COUNTY NEW YORK?? The Joseph De Groat of this family history may have been from Ulster County, New York or more likely he may not. There was a Joseph Degroat and a Jacob Degroat of Marlborough, Ulster County, who are mentioned in C. M. Woolsey's History of the Town of Marlborough Ulster County New York From Its Earliest Discover (Albany: J. B.

Page 368 1777 Nov 16th Buried John a son of Jacob Degroot A reason to wonder if Joseph a son of Jacob De Groat is that Jacob is mentioned first as having to work a day in 1788, and then Joseph a day in 1800. This might indicate that Joseph had taken over Jacob's property. Jacob is only mentioned in this history as serving in a regiment during the war and no mention of Joseph. However, this history does not mention that the regiment Jacob belonged to was joined to another one. (See below). Joseph De Groat seemed to belong to the later one. under Captain James Waldron. C.

Hallocks ancestors and do not know if he was from the Quaker Hallocks of Marlborough. The black Joseph De Groat of Dereham Township's mother was a Fowler. (There were free blacks in Tappan Patent first who may have been in Marlborough.). A reason to believe that this Joseph De Groat of Marlborough was not the one who went to Quebec is that he still seemed to be living in Marlborough in 1800, when that Joseph was living in Quebec and was mentioned at that time on land petitions. However, Matt Waack did not seem to find a Joseph on a search of the New York 1800 census. C. M.

Harriet's papers had stated these as facts. She had also stated that there was "A family tradition that Joseph DeGroat was Aide to General Washington."

Many were taken prisoners and about 100 privates were killed, captured or missing. DuBois with the balance of his men marched with Gov. Clinton to Kingston at the time it was burned; in the winter following the regiment was in camp at Fishkill, and were in a very deplorable condition. In July 1779 the regiment was at White Plains; in 1779 it was with Gen.

"They became outlaws like Claudius Smith, who was hung at Goshen, Fluwelling and others; some enlisted men as we have seen, for the enemy; some enlisted themselves All such were summarily dealt with when caught.

Abraham Van Buskirk was a refugee to Nova Scotia and was granted land in New Brunswick. Peter Ruttan was granted land on the Bay of Quinte area, in Adolphustown Township. The father or grandfather of Henry and Peter De Groat may have gone to Nova Scotia as a refugee, although I could not find any De Groat or De Groot on the Ship Lists. They could have been on one such as the Martha thatºs list was lost. 3. John DE GROAT John De Groat lived with his wifeºs niece in 1851 according to the Williamsburgh Township, Dundas County census. I have not found the names of any of his children. He may have had daughters who married or children who died young. He came into Province of Upper Canada in 1790 with children. He was living in Charlottenburgh Township then. John DeGROAT born c. 1764 came to Canada from Minisinks New York 1790 married Mary McCaffrey (c. 1764 - ) d/o John McCaffrey (United Empire Loyalist died 23 January 1852 - 87 y buried Iroquois Cemetery Minisinks, where John De Groat said he came from on his land petition was in what is now Orange County but had been Ulster Orange County. A history of Orange County on the internet mentions that that area was settled by Huguenots and Irish and German Palatines were granted land there. John De Groat might have been in that area in 1790 after he married because Mary McCaffrey whose father came from Ireland had relations there. John De Groat and his wife Mary are connected with the German families of the Mohawk Valley. Maryºs sister married Frederick Bouck. In 1851. Frederick Bouck and other Boucks are listed under "Albany County: Duanesburg and Schoharie" under "Confiscations Albany, Charlotte and Tryon Counties, New York." (The Loyalists of the Eastern Townships of Quebec , 1984, p. 200). Mary and her husband lived with Peter Brouse and his wife Mary (Bouck) Brouse in Williamsburgh Township, in Dundas County. The Brouses intermarried with Dorens. Dorens were from Fishkill, Dutchess County. A Joseph De Groat married an Elizabeth Doran in 1769. JOHN DE GROAT MARRIED A LOYALIST BUT MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN ONE? Florence English writing for The Loyalist Gazeette seemed to think this John De Groat a Loyalist although one wonders if the phrase "soldier of the Revolution USA" could mean he was on the other side?

Died June 23, 1852 age 87 years." Mary's father John McCaffrey had been born in Ireland in 1722. He came from New York City or Tryon County. He had been a farmer in New York and had served in the Kings Royal Regiment of New York, as a Private from 15 August 1777 until 1782. McCaffrey came to Canada with no family. He was settled in the first Settlement which was Cornwall. John McCaffrey was listed as a United Empire Loyalist, who had been in the Kings Royal Rangers of New York and had been settled in the Eastern District. 4.

Peter (De Groate) born in the 1780s married c. 1804 Phoebe GRIFFIN d/o Joseph GRIFFIN (UEL) On the 1808 census for Elizabethtown Peter DeGrote has no children. They lived Elizabethtown (Brockville at least until 1812). Peter and Phoebe Griffin of Elizabethtown 1809 when Phoebe petitioned for land and also in 1812 when the land was granted Peter DE GROTE (De GROAT) and Phoebe Griffin Children Orphy baptized 1809 (for certain a daughter since parents given for baptism) Recorded on Parish Registers of Kingston Upper Canada 1785-1811 "DeGroot, Orphy Daughter of Peter De Groot, Phobe DeGroot Sponsors: Joseph Wooly, Orphy Watson." They were likely living at Elizabethtown when the above baptism took place as it states on the land petition, because the Kingston Gazette had records of marriages as far away as Elizabethtown at that time. This newspaper however, also had information on those in Belleville and they might have moved there.

This information sent in by Harriet McPhee to join the DAR is now questioned. The date for his wife's birth appears to be incorrect and the date for Joseph's birth might be as well? No information where the date came from. If he was born in 1746 perhaps Hannah was a second wife? Perhaps he was born in the 1760s rather than 1746? Joseph may have been the male age 60 or over in the household of his son Henry R. De Groat in 1825. (Lower Canada Census 1825, "Hemingford Township," Huntingdon County, Lower Canada). The older male was not Elizabeth Covey, Henry's wife Elizabeth Covey's father, since James Covey had remarried in 1823 and his wife lived until 1845. However, he may have been in Albany by then and gone back to United States at time of War of 1812. The first child we have found information about, Peter, was born in the fall of 1793. Lower Canada Land Records De Groat Joseph might be checked to see if his name is on one for 1792 as an associate of Henry. Ruiter.

The year of 1824 is given in the narrative below, but so also is the birth year for Joseph given in the letters, which is 1803.

The rest of the narrative, particularly in the January 30th letter to Mr. Robinson, makes it clear that Joseph was a young man when receiving the horses.

In Lewis’s journal entry of August 19, 1805, written in what is now Montana, as he was describing the Shoshones he reflected back on the Corps’ sexual experiences among the Sioux during the previous travels of 1804. Other archival material suggests ambiguity in Martin Charger’s patrimony. There was a nineteenth-century St. Louis trader, Reuben Lewis (brother of Meriwether Lewis), whose name might have become confused with the more famous Lewis in this story. See correspondence dated November 20 and December 6, 1915, between Samuel Charger of LaPlant, South Dakota, son of Martin, and Doane Robinson, secretary of the South Dakota Historical Association in Pierre (Doane Robinson Collection, Alphabetical Correspondence, folder 58: “Charger, Martin,” South Dakota State Historical Society). Sam indicates that his grandfather, who would be the son of a “Lewis,” traveled to St. Louis in '''1824''' to receive a horse from his father there. Meriwether Lewis died in 1809, so the later trader is the more likely the father of Zomie and grandfather of Martin." '''3 September 1855''' Lt. G. K.

== Joseph Farnham's Letter to England from Canada == [[Farnham-1364|Joseph Farnham (1819-1897)]] wrote a letter to Geogre Phillips of Chelsfield in 1875. This letter was widely reported in newspaper's in England for different purposes. Below are transcriptions of those reports. === Grantham Journal 1st May 1875 === '''CONDITION OF AGBIOULTURAL LABORERS IN CANADA.''' Mr. George Phillips, of Chelafield, Kent, sends the Standard a copy of a letter received from a shepherd who left him last spring to go to America. This man, Joseph Farnham, who writes from London, Canada West, in January last, says :—“ I should have written to you before, but I have been waiting to see if I could send you a better account than I did last time. Now we are in the middle of winter, and a rare one it is too. We have not seen the ground for three months, and I don’t know when we shall again for sow. There is nothing for agricultural laborers to do here, only for about thres months in the summer; and all we can do in the winter is to go around and see if we can get a little wood to saw; they employ no men on the farms in the winter. The farmers here do a great deal of work themselves, and they de not cultivate the ground the same here as in England. There are hundreds of men walking about te see if they can get any wood to saw and I am sorry to say I am among the number. This country is much better for mechanics than it is for laborers, so by that means I shall not think of stay ing any longer than I get the means to come home. The giris are in service ; they are saving all they can to get home. I think it is a great pity, so well as I know about sheep, for me to be wasting my time going about to see if I can get wood to saw. Taking one thing with the other, you are not so well off as in England. Remember me to my fellow-workmen, and I think as I have hindered them from coming and being as unhappy as I am, I think they ought to make a donation to help me back again. I would not care if they only elped me from Liverpool into Kent. === Bristol Daily Post === “Taking ono thing with another, you are not so well off in Canada as in Eugland. Such is the deliberate opinion of an agricul tural labourer after spending nearly a twelve months in Canada. The writer is a Kentish chepherd who left this country last spring to seek his fortune in the West, ane who has just written home to his old employor. He says there is nothing for agricultural labourers to do in Canada except for about turee months in the yeaar, and all they can do in the winter is to go around and see if they can get a little wood to saw. lhorearo hundreds of men (he addes) walking around to see if they can get any wood to saw, andvI am sorry to say I am among the number. And stating his intention to return to England when he can get the means, the writer concludes with the remark that as lio has hindered hia fellow-workmen from coming out and being as unhappy as he is, they ought in gratitude to make a collection to help him back again. The Labourers Union are anxious to disseminate information respecting the prospects of Canadian emigrants. Why don't they import Joseph Farnham, and send him round the country to lecture on the aubject

Feb. 16, 1819 Mother: Antoinette Frances Carpenter b. Foxboro, Norfolk, Mass. May 31, 1837 to Daniels Carpenter (1795-1880) and Abigail Payson (1800-1876)

[[Kilham-3|'''Augustine Kilham''']] and his wife [[Gorball-1|'''Alice''']] (b. 1597) sailed with their family in the ship "Mary Anne" from Yarmouth England in May 1637 and came to Salem Mass. Augustine Kilham was probably born about 1595 in Norwich, England, and a son of Augustine Kilham, who was admitted as a freeman of Norwich in 1589.This sentence about the parentage of Austin/Augustine is likely wrong. Augustine and Alice finally settled in Wenham Mass. where they died in 1667. Their eldest son [[Killam-550|'''Daniel Kilham''']], born in England about 1620 married about 1645 [[Safford-14|Sarah]]This should be Mary Safford, not Sarah dau. of [[Safford-12|Thos.]] and [[Unknown-291615|Sarah]]This should be Elizabeth Unknown, not Sarah Unknown Safford. Daniel Kilham lived in Wenham where he died in 1700.

His third child [[Kilham-117|'''Thomas Kilham''']] born in Wenham about 1653 married [[Solart-9|Martha]] dau. of [[Solart-7|John]] and Sarah (Coche)This should be Elizabeth Unknown, not Sarah Coche Solart of Wenham.

In 1701 this '''Thomas Kilham''' purchased of [[Endicott-12|Zerubabel Endecott]] the farm in Boxford which the Massachusetts General Court had granted to his grandfather, Governor John Endecott. Thomas Kilham was a soldier in King Philip's War in 1675. After he purchased the Endecott farm he settled there, and it is now occupied by the 6th generation of his descendants.

He had several sons, of whom [[Killam-133|'''Samuel''']] (married [[Endicott-195|Grace]], dau. of Zerubabel and Grace (Symonds) Endecott of Boxford) was the captain of the military company; and he [Thomas] was succeeded on the farm by his son [[Killam-117|'''John Kilham''']] who married [[Simonds-395|Abigail]] dau. of Dea. Samuel and Abigail (Porter) Symonds of Boxford.

This [[Killam-117|'''John Kilham''']] died in 1738 in early manhood, leaving 3 young children, but his widow continued on the farm and reared the family.

Their only son [[Killam-402|'''John Kilham Jr.''']] inherited and lived on the farm and served in the War for Independence. He married in 1764 [[Bradstreet-452|Priscilla Bradstreet]] of Topsfield who was born in 1745 and died in 1807. She was a dau. of John and Eliz. (Fiske) Bradstreet; a grand-dau. of Simon (H.C. 1700) and Eliz. (Capen) Bradstreet; great-grand-dau. of John and Sarah (Perkins) Bradstreet; and great-great-grand-dau. of Gov. Simon and Anne (Dudley) Bradstreet. John Kilham Jr. had ten children by Priscilla Bradstreet, of whom [[Killam-617|'''Samuel''']] succeeded him on the farm.

Samuel was born in 1779, married in 1807 Lois dau. of Joseph and Mary (Carter) Holt of Reading and had ten children of whom [[Bartlett-12367|'''Joseph Elbridge Killam''']] was born in 1819.

He was educated at the public schools and Topsfield Academy, and studied medicine with Dr. George Cogswell and at Dartmouth College and the University of New York from whence he graduated with an M.D. in 1846. In 1845 his surname was changed by the Mass. General Court to '''Bartlett'''. He practiced medicine for a few years in Somerville and Charlestown but in 1853 was elected president of the Mystic River Corporation which office he held 35 years till the transfer of their wharf property to the Boston and Lowell R.R. in 1887.

Dr. Bartlett married 1st Caroline dau. of Gilbert Tufts of Charlestown and niece of Chas. Tufts the founder of Tufts College. She died in 1854 leaving no children; and Dr. Bartlett married 2nd [[Carpenter-20147|Antoinette F. Carpenter]]. They have had six children.

'''NOTE:''' The author above does not state why his father changed his surname during medical school. One has to wonder if he did it because it would be unseemly to be called "Dr. Killam". This could be an unpleasant surname for a medical doctor. Give an account of your education...:

I first attended school at the age of seven years entering the Rice Primary School in the autumn of 1879. I finished the course here in three years and entered the Rice Grammer School in the fall of 1882. Two years later I entered the Boston Latin School graduating in the Class of 1890 and was admitted to Harvard College; but my parents desiring that I should study architecture I entered the Mass. Institute of Technology and took a two years course in that subject graduating and receiving a diploma in 1892. No degree is given to students in architecture unless they take a four years course. After finishing at the Institute I entered into a local office to learn the business.

Only other record is his stepdaughter Elizabeth being married at his residence . Was part of the Cornish copper mining community in Kadina South Australia, from at least 1874. These mines went bad in the 1880s. I have no definitive birth record. as the names are too common I have no definitive death record. Wife, surviving son and daughter all ended up in Western Australia at the Kalgoorlie Goldfields. Others from the community ended up at mines in Newcastle NSW, Queensland, and Broken Hill, and possibly other places (Bendigo?)
