The Aas farm is just south of the Bratland Farm. ===History=== The earliest recorded non-royal owner of this land was the Irgens estate, which was established by the gifthttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irgens_Estate from King Frederick III of Denmark and Norwayhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_III_of_Denmark of essentially all land in Northern Norway to Joachim Irgenshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joachim_Irgens_von_Westervick, who had been helpful to the king in the recent wars. In land recordshttps://www.digitalarkivet.no/en/view/208/gm00000000061651 from 1705, Aas is shown as being in the Lurøe fjerding (local area), within the Rødøe parish, in the Helgeland bailiwick. The owner of the land was "Velbr. Irgens," and the local tenant farmer was Lars Klæboe. (For fellow genealogists, don't confuse this Aas, in modern-day Lurøy, with Nedr. Aas and Øfr. Aas in modern-day Brønnøy. The former Helgeland included both areas in the 17th and 18th century) Six years laterhttps://www.digitalarkivet.no/en/view/125/gt00000000194916, Klæboe remained on the land as supervisor. By this point, the owner of the land was described as "Sal. Angels arfvingers," the heirs of Sal. Angellhttps://www.digitalarkivet.no/en/view/208/gm00000000058072. Other tenant farmers on the land were Niels Nielsen, Niels Christophersen, Dorthe Haagensdatter, and Dorthe Joensdatter. The Sal. Angels note becomes a bit clearer in a document from 1734, in which ownership is described as "Irgens, nu Justitz Raad Angell og Thomas Angell." This is consistent with documentation describing what became known as the Angell Estate. Irgens died owing money to Lorentz Mortensen Angellhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angell_(family) (1690–1751); in payment, Angell received the deed to 487 farms in Helgeland. He managed the estate with his brother Thomashttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Angell_(born_1692) (1692–1767). Thomas remains well-known for having willed his estate to a charity trust fund, some elements of which remain active today. At Aas, 1734 saw the land farmed by Mikkel Pedersen, probably [[Pedersen-13699|Michel Pedersen]], and Hans Nielsen. They continued to farm there in 1744https://www.digitalarkivet.no/en/view/208/gm00000000059199. In 1758, a "smallholder tax" document indicated Aas was still occupied by Pedersen, described as a laugrettesmand (court judge). The same remained true in 1768, according to documentshttps://www.digitalarkivet.no/en/view/109/gc00000000507593 from that year. The next available document is the 1801 census, which has another [[Michelsen-701|Lars Klaebo]] in a position of power, this time as the sheriff of the quarter-district (fierding). In 1816, under Klæboe's continued service, Aas was assessed a "silvertax," as part of the Helgelands Fogderi (bailiff's district), which was divided into court districts, including the Rødøe district that served Aas. By the census of 1865, the farm was itself divided into three residences: * 25, headed by [[Jørgensen-5496|Lars Peder Jørgensen (1822-1908)]], whose wife, [[Johannesdatter-1135|Anne Cathrine Johannesdatter (1832-1882)]], was in hospital in Bergen. * 26, headed by [[Jørgensdatter-1588|Ingeborg Anna Marie Jørgensdatter (1827-aft.1891)]], whose husband, [[Johansen-3153|Johan Herman Johansen (1823-1899)]], was in the same hospital in Bergen. * 27, headed by married couple [[Christiansen-2811|Johannes Christiansen (abt.1798-aft.1865)]] and [[Iversdatter-635|Karen Thomina Iversdatter (bef.1794-aft.1865)]]. Note: It is likely that Johannesdatter and Johansen were being treated for leprosy. The hospital named in the census records, Lundegaardhttps://leprosyhistory.org/database/archive456, was built specifically for treating the devastating bacterial disease. In 1865, leprosy was quite prevalent, with a large cluster of transmission in the Nordland areahttps://www.uib.no/en/news/160071/curious-doctor-who-changed-world. ===References=== [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irgens_Estate] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_III_of_Denmark] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joachim_Irgens_von_Westervick] ===Population=== ====Notables==== ==Sources== *[[wikipedia:Lurøy|Lurøy]]

After enlarging and expanding he decided it was time to 'go big' and enlisted noted Scottish architects William Atkinson (1774/5–1839) and Edward Blore (1787–1879) to design the current house. John Smith of Darnick, a local stonemason, was eventually hired as the principal builder. The Baronial mansion called Abbotsford House sits just Southeast of the River Tweed in the Scottish Borders region of the Scotland.

'''Chinese Drawing Room''' Beautifully decorated Oriental chamber with early 18th-century Chinese wallpaper, a gift from Scott's cousin, who worked for the East India Company. '''Dining Room''' Scott took a hand in designing the Dining Room, with its panelled ceiling and elegant plasterwork. One feature that might be easy to overlook is the gas lustre, looking like a chandelier. This dates from around 1823 and is a reminder that Abbotsford was the very first house in Scotland to install gas lighting. '''Entrance Hall''' The entrance hall is richly decorated chamber with oak panelling rescued from the old church in Dunfermline, decorated with armour and booty from the Battle of Waterloo. The armour in the entrance hall is nothing compared to what follows in the Armoury. '''Library''' This wood panelled retreat is just as Scott arranged it, with 7000 books which are still being catalogued almost 200 years after his death. The ceiling is wonderfully decorated with carved pendants in a mock-Gothic style, but it is the books that draw your attention which are in 17 different languages and cover folklore, history, travel, witchcraft, and more. '''Study''' It was in his study that Scott produced his literary classics. He had company with over 2000 books lining the walls. A chair is the Robroyston Chair, made from wood rescued from the house where William Wallace was betrayed and captured. Scott's death mask also stands rather poignantly in this room. The ceiling is wonderfully decorated with carved pendants in a mock-Gothic style. === Estate Gardens === Britain Express; https://www.britainexpress.com There are three main garden areas at Abbotsford; a walled garden, formal entrance courts, and a woodland (Policies in Scots), with walking trails. Leading off the walled garden, with its orangery designed by Scott, is the Morris garden, named for a character from the novel Rob Roy. The Entrance Courts were only planted after Scott's death; they feature clipped topiary and gravelled walks. In the centre is a stone basin upon a plinth; this came from the Tolbooth in Edinburgh, where it was famously filled with wine in 1660 so that people could drink to the Restoration of Charles II to the throne. Along the path of the former colonnade sits the remains of Edinburgh's 15th century Mercat Cross. === Memorials === Wikipedia; https://en.wikipedia.org Numerous memorials to Sir walter exist not only in Great Britain but other parts of the world as well.

In 1875 it was renamed '''Rock Springs''' due to its beautiful quartzite bluff exposures within adjacent Ableman Gorge and the artesian spring water that emanated to the surface. The name reverted back to Ableman in 1879 and remained that way until a final permanent name change back to Rock Springs in 1947. ===Geography=== :'''Continent:''' North America :'''Country:''' United States of America :'''State/Province:''' Wisconsin :'''County:''' [[Space:Sauk County, Wisconsin|Sauk]] :'''GPS Coordinates:''' 43.477778, -89.916944 :'''Elevation:''' 264.0 m or 866.1 feet ===History=== The closest cemetery is [[Space:Saint Johns Cemetery, Rock Springs, Wisconsin|Saint Johns Cemetery]], located on Haven Road just north of Ableman Gorge in the Town of Excelsior. After the tunnel was blasted open in Ableman Gorge, a rock monolith with two different rock types was exposed. It was visited by geologist [[Van_Hise-28|Charles Van Hise]] from the University of Wisconsin in Madison who used the rock feature to explain the structural geology of the Baraboo Range. It has since been known as [[Wikipedia:Van Hise Rock|Van Hise Rock]]. On 15 Aug 1966, an F-2 tornado tore directly through Rock Springs. Rock Springs in recent years has been heavily affected by flooding of the Baraboo River in 2007, 2008, 2018, and 2019, with 2008 being the worst on record. The downtown area has been in the process of relocating to higher ground. The village hall and library are now located along Railroad Street to the east of the river. The Rock Springs Community Center was demolished in January 2023, though the interior frame was moved adjacent to the site and is now survives as a pavilion. ===Population=== *1880 163 — *1890 332 103.7% *1900 430 29.5% *1910 444 3.3% *1920 '''542''' 22.1% *1930 470 −13.3% *1940 395 −16.0% *1950 442 11.9% *1960 463 4.8% *1970 432 −6.7% *1980 426 −1.4% *1990 432 1.4% *2000 425 −1.6% *2010 362 −14.8%, likely due to the 2008 floods that devastated what was left of downtown *2019 360 (estimate) ====Notables==== *[[Wikipedia:Nancy Lange|Nancy Lange]] (later Kuczynski) (b. 20 Jan 1954), First Lady of Peru from 2016-2018. ====Surnames of Ableman-Rock Springs (and immediate surrounding areas)==== [http://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Ableman Ableman] - [http://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Albers Albers] - [http://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Bartenbach Bartenbach] - [http://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Behnke Behnke] - [http://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Bender Bender] - [http://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Bentley Bentley] - [http://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Bittrich Bittrich] - [http://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Bloss Bloss] - [http://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Brunhoefer Brunhoefer] - [http://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Busch Busch] - [http://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Busser Busser] - [http://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Coleman Coleman] - [http://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Cooper Cooper] - [http://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Daniels Daniels] - [http://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Dettmann Dettmann] - [http://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Doro Doro] - [http://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Dwars Dwars] - [http://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Fey Fey] - [http://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Fredericks Fredericks] - [http://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Gade Gade] - [http://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Gall Gall] - [http://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Goedecke Goedecke] - [http://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Hackett Hackett] - [http://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Hartzell Hartzell] - [http://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Herritz Herritz] - [http://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Hinz Hinz] - [http://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Hintz Hintz] - [http://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Holtz Holtz] - [http://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Horstman Horstman] - [http://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Horstmann Horstmann] - [http://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Jolitz Jolitz] - [http://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Klitzke Klitzke] ([[Space:Klitzke Name Study|ONS]]) - [http://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Krueger Krueger] - [http://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Lange Lange] - [http://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Lee Lee] - [http://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Meske Meske] - [http://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Mielke Mielke] - [http://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Mueller Mueller] - [http://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Nimmow Nimmow] - [http://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Pfaff Pfaff] - [http://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Popp Popp] - [http://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Ribbke Ribbke] - [http://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Rindfleisch Rindfleisch] - [http://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Ringelmann Ringelmann] - [http://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Rohde Rohde] - [http://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Schanke Schanke] - [http://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Scharnke Scharnke] - [http://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Schuette Schuette] - [http://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Schlieckau Schlieckau] - [http://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Shimniok Shimniok] - [http://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Steinhorst Steinhorst] - [http://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Stoeckmann Stoeckmann] - [http://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Stieve Stieve] - [http://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Waddell Waddell] - [http://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Weigel Weigel] - [http://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Wiseman Wiseman] - [http://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Zarstke Zarstke] - [http://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Ziemke Ziemke] ==Sources==

{{Image|file=FIFW-8.jpg |size=l |caption=[[Project:One Place Studies#How to Join|Volunteer to be a Coordinator]] }} {{OnePlaceStudy|place=Acerra, Campania|category=Acerra, Campania One Place Study}} {{Clear}} Acerra is a city in Southern Italy about 15 miles Northeast of Naples. It is an ancient city, and has seen a lot of history. in 216 BC, it was destroyed by Hannibal. It was rebuilt by 210 BC. It served as a Roman Army base in the Social Wars of 90 BC. Its residents most likely witnessed the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 70 AD which destroyed Pompeii. Through its long history, it was ruled by, and invaded by a variety of ethnic groups including the Lombards (Germanic), Saracens (Arab), and the Normans (Scandanavian/French), giving its inhabitants their unique Italian ethnicity. In recent history, the city was one of the towns in Campania afflicted by the Italian Mafia's toxic waste dumping activity, resulting in destruction of the environment, and a sharp increase in diseases such as cancer and birth defects. My husband's Italian side of the family is from this place, and records are readily available on FamilySearch from 1809-1829 if you want to search through the images like I did. The purpose of this One Place Study is to extrapolate the people from the records and add them to the Wikitree, connecting them with their descendants. So far I am the only member of this project! I have started with 1810 Birth records. If you want to join me, I could use the help! Here is what you can do: 1. Take a civil registration image set (or a part of it) from FamilySearch.org : Italia, Napoli, Acerra, Civil registration (Comune), 1809-1929. 2. Read each record, and add the pertinent individuals, and their relationships to the Wikitree, being careful to construct the families correctly. 3. Cite the record used for each individual. 4. Let me know that you are going to participate, and what record set you are using, and I will add a new page like the ones below for you to add profiles as an index.

Others like Philip Holmes (Heaume) were from Jersey in the Channel Islands. In second half of the 18th century, Catholic families of Irish ancestry began to arrive beginning with Patrick Murphy who, according to Hudson family lore, bought a plantation from Burris or Burrows. In 1788 he and another possible Irishman, Richard Farrell, were clearing land there. Other possible possible Irishmen include James Adams who rented land with Patrick Murphy, and Michael Shea who was a partner with James Adams, who may have been brothers-in-law. The Cahills may be another. The Murphys, Sheas, Farrells and Cahills did not baptise, marry or hold funerals in the Blackhead Church. Instead there is documentation that they traveled to Harbour Grace to the Catholic Church which was newly established at the beginning of the 19th century. ===18th Century Families=== Early Families before 1750 *Holmes (Heaume, du Heaume) The first Holmes in Adam's Cove were from the Channel Islands where the name was Heaumes or sometimes du Heaumes. By the late 1700s the name was anglicized to Holmes. Phillip was a very early Holmes to settle on the Northshore. In 1748 he was a witness to the will of John Hudson of Adam's Cove where he signed his name as Heaume. The Holmes profile start with Philip: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Holmes-8545 *Hudson: John Hudson was in Adam's Cove prior to 1748 when he wrote his will there. He was married at the time and mentions children. It is believed he was one of the sons of Matthew Hudson of Hudson's Cove, St. John's who appears in a number of early records circa 1700. While there is no evidence that Matthew Hudson was in Adam's Cove, the Hudson profiles will begin with Matthew: https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Hudson-17015&errcode=new_profile * Reans, (Rhines, Rines, Rians): John Rhines received an Adam's Cove Plantation in 1756 (or 1766) from his mother-in-law. If 1766, it is likely she was the wife of Philip Holmes who died in 1766. The family profiles start with John https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Reans-5&errcode=new_profile Families who arrived 1750 - 1775 * Diamond (Dimond, Dymond, Dimmond) The administrators of the Diamond website have put together an impressive summary of the Diamond family in North America. (See https://www.familytreedna.com/groups/dimond-newfoundland/about/background). In Newfoundland, they document an "Ann Dimond and her son Robert living in Adam’s Cove in 1794/5, at which time they mortgaged, for 132 pounds, their fishing room—property that bordered on land owned and mortgaged by William Diamond. About year later, in 1796, Ann’s property formed part of the holdings of William Dimond & Co. Moreover, the property was noted as having been “bequeathed by his mother’s Will”, which suggests that Ann, who was clearly the owner of the property in 1794/5, had died. It can therefore safe to said that pre-1800 Diamond adults in Adam’s Cove consisted of at least John, Ann, William, and Robert and that they most likely represented two different generations. (Certainly, at least, Robert was Ann’s son.)" It is assumed that John who was born in 1723 was likely the first Diamond in Adam's Cove so the Diamond Profile starts with John: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Diamond-2123 *Hollett: Joseph Hollett Sr. appears to be the first in Adam's Cove The Hollett family starts with his profile https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Hollett-290&errcode=new_profile *Luther: Although one or both parents were from Adam's Cove, currently their names are not known So the profiles for the Luther's starts with Stephen https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Luther-2935 Settlers who came after 1775 *Adams: James Adams may have been from Ireland according to Prof Mannion and came to Adam's Cove along with other Irish families including Murphy, Farrell and Shea. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Adams-62716 *Baggs: Joseph and Frances Baggs were in Adam's Cove about 1775. They are NOT to be confused with Joseph and Frances (Gosse) Baggs of Spaniard's Bay who were married in 1816 and are a younger generation that the Adam's Cove Baggs. Profile starts with Joseph Baggs https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Baggs-591 *Cahill: Michael Cahill came to Adam's Cove when he married a local girl. His first wife must have died and, in 1806, he married Elizabeth Baggs, likely the sister of Joseph Baggs. https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Cahill-2412&errcode=new_profile *Evans: Robert Evans was in Adam's Cove by 1786 when he cleared land out of the woods. He was only 23. It is possible he came to Adam's Cove possibly from Western Bay when he married a local girl. The Evans family profile starts here: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Evans-42752 *Farrell: Richard Farrell arrived in Adam's Cove with Patrick Murphy. Together they cleared land there in 1788 180 yrds. from E. to W. and 98 yds. from S. to N. 1 Garden. He was the brother-in-law of of Samuel Hollett. Joseph Hollett Sr. gave Richard a share of a fishing room in 1806. Richard likely had married Joseph's daughter. *Gill: A James Gill may have owned property in Blackhead recorded in Colonial Office Secretary Letterbook April 12 1753. However, this may be the Blackhead near St. John's. The first confirmed Gill to Adam's Cove was William Gill. However, his grandmother was from Adam's Cove and possibly his mother as well. His profile is here https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Gill-12028&errcode=new_profile *Martin: Nicholas Martin was in Adam's Cove by 1787 when he was sued by Thomas Power. He cleared land there in 1790: 3 plots 113 yds. from E. to West 126 yds. from N. to S. 1 House 3 Gardens (Plantation Book pg 33 entry 205). Nicholas and Eleanor had 6 sons baptized at the Harbour Grace Anglican Church: James, Thomas, Richard, John, Joseph, Michael. They may also have had a son, Samuel. The Martin profiles start with Nicholas: https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Martin-82408&errcode=saved. *Murphy: PatricK Murphy may have arrived with Richard Farrell about 1788 when they cleared land together - 180 yrds. from E. to W. and 98 yds. from S. to N. 1 Garden. * Murray: In 1786 John Murray cleared 2 plots out of the woods 40 yds. from S. to N. 68 yds. from E. to W. 2 Gardens (Plantation Book pg 33, entry 205). He also rented from the Martins. In 1818 Jane Murray of Adam's Cove and her sons were sued by Richard Anderson in the Carbornear courts suggesting that the Sr John had died. John Sr. had a son, John Murray and a grandson John Murray, a ship captain with interests in Carbonear and Belle Island, who died in 1827 leaving his widow Ellen. John Jr. was his executor. https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Murray-26288&errcode=new_profile *Shea: Michael Shea and James Adams had property together in Adam's Cove that was indentured (mortgaged) in 1795 (Newfoundland Deeds Vol 14 pg. 149). They did not register this property in the Plantation Book suggesting they no longer had it by circa 1805. ==Sources== Plantation Book 1805/6 in the Colonial Office Records https://mha.mun.ca/mha/viewresults_i.php?Accession_number=2018-0116&numrows=18: online at https://nlgenweb.dreamhosters.com/cbnorth_nor22_42_05.htm

Upon first coming here, the Sheppards made their home with the Levi Harnsberger family. Mrs. Harnsberger and Mrs. Sheppard had been reading Washington Irving’s book, “The Alhambra,” and suggested that the town be given that name. The Alhambra is a Moorish castle in Spain. The word, Alhambra, means “The Red Castle,” and was so named because of its red-tiled exterior. Mr. Sheppard arrived here on a bright moonlight night and being enchanted with the beauty of the scene, thought the name, Alhambra, very fitting. Thus this name was selected. ::The history of Alhambra is not altogether serene. On October 19, 1859, another site was chosen and platted by Levi Harnsberger, W.S. Handle, Henry Harnsberger and Captain J. Thornburg, on the corners of sections ten, eleven and fourteen which they called Greencastle. There was great rivalry between the two villages and really hard feelings at times. But time heals all wounds, and so it did the feelings which existed between the two settlements. ::The idea of incorporating the village of Alhambra was growing among the many civic-minded people, but evidently there was some opposition as an item taken from a newspaper clipping reads as follows: “The Plank Walk” – The sidewalk is not completed as far west as the residence of R. D. Utiger, and is two feet wide, and is appreciated by our school children. In fact, everybody and those that did such terrible kicking last spring when we wanted to incorporate, now have nothing to say and won’t even walk in the middle of the road as they promised.” ::The villages of Greencastle and Alhambra were united and incorporated on April 5, 1884." ===Population=== :According to the 2000 census, there were 630 people, 209 households, and 145 families residing in the village. The population was 681 at the 2010 census.

Many people from Alia migrated to New Orleans, Louisiana, USA and surrounding areas to work in the sugar cane fields following the American Civil War, and dozens of families from Louisiana and other parts of the United States trace their ancestors back to the beautiful village of Alia. ===Population=== ==Sources== * http://www.madoniepress.it/mp-nbsp;lo-strano-caso-di-alia-comune-quot;scomparsoquot;-dalla-montagna-5449.asp * You can meet many residents of Alia on the facebook group "Alia Nel Mondo". * http://www.sicilyroutes.com/municipalities/alia-pa/

British History Online [http://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/wilts/vol10/pp20-33 British History Online - All Cannings] [accessed 2 September 2023]. === ALL CANNINGS === Situated only 4 miles east of Devizes, the ancient parish of All Cannings contained the tithings of All Cannings, Allington, and Fullaway, a detached part of All Cannings situated between Stert and Urchfont. Etchilhampton was a chapelry of All Cannings but, probably because it relieved its own poor, was considered to be an ancient parish in the earlier 19th century and became a civil parish. '''Natural Boundaries and Tithings'''
The boundaries of the main part of the parish, All Cannings and Allington tithings, are generally marked by prominent natural features and are apparently ancient. That with Stanton St. Bernard has remained substantially unchanged since 903. From the extreme south of both parishes as far north as Stanton village it follows the course of a stream. From Stanton to the scarp face below Wansdyke it follows the bottom of the dry valley from which the stream springs and which bisects the coomb between Clifford's and Milk Hills. The boundary runs eastwards up the scarp face and, north of Wansdyke, along the east side of a dry valley leading to East Kennett where it is marked by stones. The boundary with Bishop's Cannings was marked north of Wansdyke by the top of a ridge running back to Beckhampton in Avebury, for some way south of Wansdyke by the top of a ridge west of Tan Hill. Ancient stones still marked the boundaries with East Kennett and Avebury in 1971 and a stream separates the two tithings from Etchilhampton. South of All Cannings village, where that stream used to flow into the parish along the Etchilhampton to All Cannings road, is Etchilhampton Water. After 1799 the stream was channelled into a ditch and diverted under the road. The boundary between All Cannings and Allington tithings followed the top of a ridge north of Wansdyke, and, south of Wansdyke, passed to the east of the summit of Tan Hill and followed the top of the ridge running south-east from Tan Hill to the Devizes-Pewsey road. All Cannings tithing, 3,354 a. in 1886, was roughly rectangular, about 4¾ miles long by about 1½ mile wide, and included some of the lower land of the Pewsey Vale, about 360 ft., Clifford's Hill and Rybury Camp, and much land on the dip slope of the Marlborough Downs. Allington tithing, 1,194a. in 1886, was long and narrow, about 4½ miles long but less than a mile wide in most places, and encompassed parts of the Pewsey Vale and the Marlborough Downs including Tan Hill, 964 ft., the same height as Milk Hill in Stanton St. Bernard, the highest points in Wiltshire. The tithing of Fullaway, 108 a. in 1885, Ibid. XL. was not bounded by prominent natural features. Its gently sloping land lay at a height of 300–400 ft. at the foot of Etchilhampton Hill. The ancient parish of All Cannings with its constituent tithings thus amounted to 4,655 a. The tithing of Fullaway, which relieved its own poor in the earlier 19th century, was not included in the Devizes poor-law union and was deemed extraparochial. It was created a civil parish under the Extra-parochial Places Act of 1857. It was annexed to Stert parish in 1894. The tithing of Allington was deemed a civil parish from 1881. It was reunited with All Cannings in 1934. The ancient parish of All Cannings was characterized by the usual geological outcrops of the southern scarp of the Marlborough Downs and the Pewsey Vale. Upper and Middle Chalk outcrop on the dip slope north of Wansdyke. South of Wansdyke, Tan Hill is capped by Clay-with-flints, Upper Chalk outcrops at Rybury Camp, and Middle and Lower Chalk outcrop down the scarp to the lower parts of the Pewsey Vale. Upper Greensand outcrops in an arc within the parish boundary from Stanton village to where the Knoll rises from the valley, covered by alluvium where streams mark the parish boundary. The pattern of land-use in the parish closely followed the geological pattern until c. 1799. The arc of greensand and alluvium round the southern and south-western boundaries was pasture and meadow land, the Lower Chalk in the middle of the parish was predominantly arable, and in the north the Middle and Upper Chalk and Clay-withflints was pasture. '''Ancient Settlements'''
There was prehistoric settlement on the land of All Cannings tithing. Archaeological discoveries of the Neolithic period and the Bronze Age have been made at Rybury Camp, All Cannings Cross, and on Tan Hill. Rybury Camp was an Iron-Age hill-fort, possibly of two periods. All Cannings Cross, lying below Clifford's Hill, was a settlement occupied in the period 650–400 B.C. There was a later-IronAge or Romano-British field-system on All Cannings Down where Iron-Age and Roman objects have been found. The tithing contains many barrows and ditches older than, and overlapped by, Wansdyke which crosses the tithing on the ridge linking Tan and Milk Hills. A village called Canning probably existed on the lowland in the 10th century. It gave its name to Canning marsh, reached by the Danes in 1010, and was probably on the site of All Cannings whose name derives from the form 'Old Canning' still in use in the 13th century. Cannings marsh, or Candle marsh, the low-lying area at the north end of All Cannings village, was called by those names until the later 18th century and can presumably be identified with the earlier Canning marsh. Archaeological discoveries of the early and middle Bronze Ages indicate early activity on Allington Down and Tan Hill. Objects of the early Iron Age and the Roman period have also been found on the downs above Allington. The tithing contained a number of ancient earthworks and an Iron-Age or Romano-British field-system reaching into Avebury, and was crossed by Wansdyke. '''Village'''
All Cannings village was closely-knit on both sides of a street but does not seem to have been established on a main road or an ancient track. To judge from early-14th-century taxation assessments, in which only Market Lavington was rated higher among the villages later forming Swanborough hundred, All Cannings was already a village of considerable size, and there were 192 poll-tax payers in 1377. Taxation assessments of the 16th and 17th centuries were also high. In the later 18th century the village was still tightly gathered along its street except for South Farm in the south of the tithing. Almost the entire population of the tithing, 546 in 1801, was therefore concentrated in the village, making it one of the most populous in the Pewsey Vale. The population of the tithing, still concentrated in the village, rose to 663 in 1841 but fell to 493 by 1881 and to 387 by 1931. All Cannings is still compact. All Cannings Cross Farm, north of the village, and South Farm are the only outlying homesteads. There is no manorhouse in the village but at the south end of it the church, the old Rectory, and Manor Farm are grouped. The farm-house was built after 1839 just south of the church replacing a house on the east side of the southernmost part of the village street. Just to the north of the church is a thatched late17th-century timber-framed cottage and a house converted from a pair of early-19th-century thatched cottages. Beside the church is the school. It faces a village green which was built on until at least 1799 and only became the green after 1839. Between Chandlers Lane and the lane to the King's Arms, dated 1880, are some eight thatched cottages, most of them timber-framed. The oldest, nos. 30 and 32, are a pair of which the later cottage is dated 1647. The rest vary in date up to the late 18th or early 19th century. North of the lane to the King's Arms are two two-storeyed red brick houses of the early 18th century. North of them, around the junction of the village street and a road leading eastwards from it, is another group of older buildings. They include Rustic Farm, a timber-framed and thatched farm-house on a two-room plan with a central stack, probably built c. 1600, Cliff Farmhouse, a timber-framed farm-house of the 17th century with two storeys and attic and a stone tile roof, and a number of other timber-framed cottages. Another group of thatched timber-framed cottages of the 17th century and later is in the north of the village. The Grange and Bridge House, a late-19thcentury house, stand on the eastern edge of the village. All Cannings also contains a number of 19th- and 20th-century buildings including some council houses built soon after the Second World War. The Stores and Telegraph Office in the village street was bought by Mary Watney (d. 1918) and under her will used as a parish reading room. Until 1965 the upkeep of the room was paid for by the income from leases of the land surrounding it. Under a scheme of 1971 the room was converted into a village hall. In that year it was undergoing repair. The village of Allington, called by that name in 1086, was situated on both sides of Moor brook in a coomb between the Knoll and the southern part of Clifford's Hill. Early-14th-century taxation assessments and the fact that there were 68 polltax payers in 1377, an average number for the villages of Swanborough hundred, indicate that Allington was appreciably smaller than All Cannings but still of average size among the villages of the Pewsey Vale. It remained so until the later 18th century. It was then a tightly-knit village south of the Devizes-Pewsey road, served by a lane making a loop from that road, and as nucleated as All Cannings. The population of Allington was 145 in 1801. It rose to a peak of 188 in 1841, declined slowly to 137 in 1881, and more rapidly to only 55 in 1921. The civil parish of Allington had a population of 70 in 1931. * Reference to Allington as the land of William Alis in Domesday Book, acquired for 15 pounds in 1066. [https://opendomesday.org/place/SU4717/allington/ Open Domesday - Allington] Allington village is still situated around the lane looping south from the Devizes-Pewsey road. The centre of the loop contains Allington Farm. Allington House, built in the 19th century, and a late18th-century house are to the south of it. North of it, beside the Devizes-Pewsey road, are two thatched 17th- or 18th-century cottages, and a thatched timber-framed house possibly of the 17th century. A chapel stands west of the farm and a thatched timber-framed yeoman's house of the 17th century east of it. Many buildings in Allington were demolished in the 19th and 20th centuries, especially in the north around the Devizes-Pewsey road, and to the south-east and east of the loop. Most of them were not replaced. Fullaway was a farmstead situated beside a valley track leading from Stert to Potterne; its name means 'dirty way' and it was so called by 1327. The tithing never seems to have contained a settlement of appreciable size. Its population was 14 in 1801, 20 in 1861, and 11 in 1891 when it was last assessed separately. Stert House, called Bitham House for a time in the 19th century and evidently much enlarged in that century, was in the former tithing although part of Stert village. In 1971 the former tithing contained only that and Fullaway Farm. The ancient parish of All Cannings was served by a number of lanes and paths linking the villages with the Devizes-Pewsey road in the north and the Devizes-Upavon road in the south. Devizes and Patney were the nearest railway stations. Because of its several settlements the ancient parish of All Cannings was one of the most populous in the Pewsey Vale. Its combined population was 707 in 1801, rising to 866 in 1841, but falling to 430 by 1971. '''Manors and other Estates'''
Tre (Tre in the Cornish language means a settlement or homestead)[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tre,_Pol_and_Pen TRE] All Cannings belonged to the abbey of St. Mary. The significant building was located in the city of Winchester (Nunnaminster). Founded by Queen Ealhswith, Alfred the Great's wife, in 903, about the time of death[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ealhswith Ealhswith wife of King Alfred]. It became one of the foremost centres of learning and art in England.[https://www.cityofwinchester.co.uk/history/html/nunnaminster.html City of Winchester] The manor of ALL CANNINGS remained among the abbey's possessions until 1536 when, at the time of the abbey's refoundation, it was granted to Sir Edward Seymour, created Earl of Hertford and duke of Somerset. Edward's father was Edward Seymour, 1st Duke of Somerset, who served as Lord Protector of England from 1547 to 1549 during the minority of his nephew King Edward VI.[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Seymour,_1st_Duke_of_Somerset Edward Seymour, 1st Duke of Somerset] He was succeeded in 1552 by Edward Seymour, created Earl of Hertford 1559, his son by his second marriage, and then a minor, but his lands were forfeited under an Act of attainder passed in that year. All Cannings remained with the Crown until at least 1557. It was apparently granted as dower to Anne (d. 1587), Somerset's widow and the wife of Francis Newdigate, but in 1582 the manor, or the reversion in it, was restored to the earl of Hertford. Seymour was succeeded in 1621 by his grandson William Seymour, marquess of Hertford, after whose death in 1660 All Cannings was conveyed to satisfy uses expressed in his will of 1657. In 1667 the manor was conveyed to Seymour's widow Frances for 21 years, but, since she died in 1673 without giving instructions for its disposal, it passed to a succession of trustees before being sold to Edward Nicholas of Hitcham (Bucks.) in 1687 to raise money for the legacy of Seymour's granddaughter Elizabeth, countess of Ailesbury. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Seymour,_1st_Duke_of_Somerset Edward_Seymour,_1st_Duke_of_Somerset] 1500 to 22 January 1552. [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Seymour-41 Edward Seymour - 1st Earl of Hertford] 22 May 1539 to 6 April 1621. Edward Nicholas was succeeded by his son John who died without issue in 1738. The manor then passed to John's sisters Bridget (d. 1741), wife of John Nicholas (d. 1742), and Elizabeth (d. 1766). Both moieties passed to Bridget's daughter, Penelope Riggs, and in 1768 were settled on Penelope's nephew, Nicholas Heath, who assumed the name Nicholas. After Nicholas's death in 1808 the manor passed, again in moieties, to his daughters Mary, subsequently wife of Henri de Polier Vernand, and Georgiana, wife of Philip Gell. Both moieties were sold in 1818 to Alexander Baring (d. 1848), created Baron Ashburton 1835. The manor passed with the Ashburton title until 1896 when it was sold to Ernest Terah Hooley, a fraudulent financier declared bankrupt in 1898. In that year it was sold to Sir Christopher Furness. He conveyed it to the Cavendish Land Company which sold it in lots from 1909. The largest farms, Manor farm and All Cannings Cross farm, belonged to Mr. J. Curnick and Mr. H. W. Daw respectively in 1971. Alfred of Marlborough held Allington in 1086 and the manor of ALLINGTON passed through the Ewias and Tregoze families in the same way as the manor of Lydiard Tregoze until the death of John Tregoze in 1300. John was granted free warren in his demesne lands at Allington in 1285. When his lands were partitioned in 1300 the manor was allotted to John la Warre, Lord la Warre (d. 1347), and descended with the la Warre title until the early 16th century when it was apparently settled on the marriage of Anne, daughter of Thomas West, Lord la Warre (d. 1525), and Sir Anthony St. Amand, the illegitimate son of Sir Richard Beauchamp, Lord St. Amand. Anthony and Anne apparently had a daughter Mary, wife of Richard Lewknor, on whom it was settled in 1551. Mary and Richard Lewknor sold the manor in 1568 to James Paget who sold it to William Wright in 1584. Wright sold it in 1586 to the trustees of Jane Lambert, the mistress of William Paulet (d. 1598), marquess of Winchester, and subsequently the wife of Sir Gerard Fleetwood. In 1601 Sir Gerard and Jane settled it on John Paulet, the second of Jane's four sons by the marquess of Winchester. Sir John Paulet died after 1629, apparently without issue, and Allington passed to his nephew William Paulet who in 1631 settled it on his wife, Anne Cole. Joan Cole, Anne's mother, entered the manor after William's death, but gave it up after a suit in Chancery by Essex Paulet (d. 1653) to whom William his brother had devised the manor in 1646. The manor passed to another Essex Paulet (d. 1682) who in 1676 sold it to Stephen Fox (d. 1716). Fox was succeeded by his son Stephen (d. 1776), created earl of Ilchester, and the manor passed with the Ilchester title until 1907 when it was sold in lots. The largest farm belonged to Mr. G. K. Forster in 1971. Peter of Membury held ½ hide in All Cannings in 1258. It was held of him by Margery, widow of Bartholomew of Upavon, to whom he surrendered all his rights in the land. The subsequent descent of Margery's land is not clear, but her estate may have been that held by John Giles in 1431. John probably had sons William and Robert. William's heirs were apparently two daughters, Joan, wife of William Dowling, and Isabel. In 1488 the land, then reputed a manor, and later called the manor of GILES, seems to have been settled on Joan and William. William held it until at least 1528, when it was said to include 5½ virgates, but by c. 1540 it had passed to John Burdon. It subsequently passed, probably by purchase, to a member of the Ernle family. In 1562 it was settled on William Ernle and his wife Joan, formerly Joan Unwin. Ernle may still have held the manor in 1576 but its subsequent descent is again obscure until the 1680s when it was bought from John Long on behalf of Joseph Haskins Stiles. Stiles held it until after 1710 but apparently sold it before 1753. It belonged by 1780 to a Mr. Read, perhaps Richard Read of Devizes, but was sold c. 1788 to Henry Hitchcock whose son Simon Pile Hitchcock held it from 1825. It passed after 1839 to Henry Hitchcock (d. 1878) and to William Charles Hitchcock (d. 1897). Much of it was subsequently sold to Mr. M. J. Read who owned it in 1971. The Grange, a large house in the north-east of the village with a mid-19th-century east front, passed for a time with the estate. A hide in All Cannings and Allington was held by Peter of Podington in 1217. Peter held it of the honor of Ewias in 1242 and it was held of him by William Druce. By 1301 it had passed to Stephen Druce who was probably succeeded by his son Robert. Stephen Druce, possibly Robert's son, held it in 1370, but it belonged to John German in 1428. It passed to John Clevedon (d. between 1428 and 1443) and apparently descended like the manor of Woodborough to John Bartlett who died in 1585 holding the estate, called Hillersdons after a late-15th- or early-16th-century owner, of the manor of Ewias Harold. John Bartlett was succeeded by his son William but his land in All Cannings was probably sold. It seems to have belonged to Richard Lavington c. 1638. It was held by Thomas Lavington in 1710 and by Nicholas Lavington in 1780. Nicholas was succeeded c. 1786 by Ann Lavington, presumably his daughter, who died unmarried c. 1830. Mary Millard held the land (154 a.) in 1839, but it subsequently passed, presumably by purchase, to members of the Hitchcock family, owners of the reputed manor of Giles. An unnamed knight held two hides in Allington in 1086. It was possibly the estate including land in Allington and All Cannings, reckoned at more than a carucate and six bovates in 1316, later called Provenders and probably held in the late 13th century by John Provender in the right of his wife Gillian. After John's death before 1316 Gillian apparently married John Clarice, but part of the land was settled on John Provender, presumably Gillian's son, and his wife Agnes. After the deaths of Gillian and John Clarice the whole estate probably passed to John Provender and was held by Agnes in 1327. It was held in 1333 by Joan Provender, presumably the daughter of John and Agnes. Joan possibly married John of Rushall and died without issue before 1345. In 1345 reversion in the land after John of Rushall's death was settled by Geoffrey Provender, possibly the son of William Provender, and Joan's cousin, on the marriage of Hugh Provender, perhaps his son, and Margaret Pleistow. Hugh Provender held the land until the 1390s. He was succeeded by his third son Nicholas who was succeeded by his son Robert and grandson Richard. The land apparently passed to a William Provender who was succeeded by his son Richard (d. c. 1500). It was held by Geoffrey Smethwick, who married Richard's widow, until his death after 1531 when it reverted to Richard's son John. John died c. 1540 leaving his son Geoffrey a minor. Geoffrey entered the land c. 1545, held it until his death in 1593, and was succeeded by his son George (d. 1617). George's heir was his son George who died without male issue in 1644 when the estate was divided. All the land in Allington apparently passed to George's grandson Richard Franklin, the son of Elizabeth Provender (d. before 1644) and John Franklin. Richard sold part of it in 1651 to Stephen Mills who, by his will proved 1663, devised it to Paul Weston. In 1697 Weston sold it to Robert Stevens. The rest of the land in Allington was settled by Richard Franklin on Sarah Franklin in 1661. It passed, presumably after Sarah's death, to John Franklin, probably her son, who, with another John Franklin, perhaps his own son, sold it to Robert Stevens in 1697. Stevens, who added Workmans living, bought by John Stevens from Essex Paulet in 1675, to the Allington part of Provenders, devised the land to his nephew William, the son of Paul Weston, by his will proved 1713. By his own will proved 1756 William Weston devised it to his stepdaughter Margery, wife of John Drewett, who devised it to her son Edward in 1771. Drewett sold it to John Giddings in 1775. James Giddings held it from c. 1821 to at least 1839. In 1878 it was sold by the trustees of W. E. Tugwell and Aaron Giddings and in 1907 belonged to G. S. A. Waylen. The descent of the All Cannings part of Provenders after 1644 is not clear. Most of it was apparently held by Edward Hope c. 1710. Part of it was bought by Gifford Warriner from Benjamin Hope in 1753 and added to his other land in All Cannings, but the rest passed to Richard Hope (d. c. 1729) and was held in 1780 by John son of John Hope. John was succeeded by his brother Edward who sold part of the land to John Clift c. 1816. It was held by William Clift from c. 1823 to at least 1831. The other part was sold by Hope to the trustees of William Hayward. Land in All Cannings belonged to Henry Anst in 1710. It was bought by Sir John Ernle and settled on his daughter Elizabeth and Gifford Warriner on their marriage in 1739. Warriner was succeeded in 1787 by his son Gifford (d. 1820) who held the land in 1799 when it was called South farm. It was sold to Alexander Baring in 1834 under the Act for the settlement of Gifford Warriner's lands and passed with All Cannings manor. The estate called Fullaway farm, held freely of the manor of All Cannings, belonged to John Burrey from at least 1518 to 1540. It apparently passed to William Burrey, whose daughter and heir Elizabeth, wife of William Hedges, sold it to Thomas Noyes in 1563. Thomas was probably succeeded by his son William but a Thomas Noyes (d. 1675) apparently held it c. 1638. Another William Noyes possibly held it in 1695. Some of the land was sold by Anne Noyes in 1739, and the rest acquired by Benjamin Wyche in 1747. It passed to Samuel Wyche who leased it out in 1771, but by 1780 apparently belonged to a Mr. Sutton, probably James Sutton of Devizes who held Stert at that time. It was acquired c. 1788 by Jacob Giddings and passed c. 1796 to Richard Giddings who held it in 1839. It was sold in 1876. By the late 13th century a portion of the revenues of All Cannings church was taken by Nunnaminster to endow a prebend and until the Dissolution belonged to successive prebendaries, usually presented by the abbess. The prebendal estate, worth £13 6s. 8d. in 1260 and 1291, was said to include 12 a. of land in 1260 and pasture worth £1 and other land worth 9s. in 1341 but consisted largely of great and small tithes. The prebendary paid a pension of £4 to the abbess of Winchester in 1341, £1 in 1535, and £1 a year thereafter to the lord of All Cannings. In 1536 the advowson of the prebend was granted to Edward Seymour (d. 1552) who presented prebendaries in 1540 and 1545. As part of an exchange of lands with Edward VI in 1547 Seymour conveyed 'the late prebend' to the king who granted it to the dean and canons of Windsor in the same year. The dean and canons followed the practice of not presenting prebendaries and of taking the prebendal revenues themselves. The prebendal tithes arose from land in All Cannings and Allington. They were said c. 1560 to be customarily leased with, and to have been accounted better than, the rectorial tithes. Both sets were leased to Sir John Thynne who c. 1553 assigned his leases to Sir Edward Baynton, but both Thynne and Baynton sub-let the tithes. Baynton's lease of the prebendal tithes expired c. 1560 and, although earlier agreements had apparently been reached by the farmer of All Cannings, the rector, and the prebendary over the taking of the tithes, disputes began before 1562 over which lands were tithable to the prebend, and which to the rectory. At that time the prebendal barn was said to be no longer standing. In 1562 the prebendal estate was said to include some 8 a. of land. In 1593 Edward Seymour, earl of Hertford (d. 1621), tried to deprive the dean and canons of the profits of the prebend by claiming the advowson on the grounds that it had not been granted by his father in 1547 but had descended to him. At Hertford's instigation the Crown collated by lapse and presented the rector of All Cannings to the prebend. That presentation, and Hertford's claim to the advowson set out in 1597, was contested by the dean and canons and in 1600 a commission to decide the issue was set up by the Chief Justices of King's Bench and Common Pleas. The commission's findings, in which the prebendal estate was allowed to the dean and canons of Windsor and no provision was made for the presentation of prebendaries, were ratified by decree in 1602. The commissioners also defined the prebendal and rectorial estates. They allotted all the tithes of Allington tithing and only 2½ a. of land in All Cannings to the prebend, and all the other tithes of the parish to the rectory. The dean and canons were required to keep a bull and a boar on behalf of the inhabitants of Allington, for which in 1799 they were allotted 1 a. of down for feeding the bull. The prebendal tithes were leased for £13, 26s., and a fat sheep in 1640 but were probably sub-let and were valued at £80 in 1649. Their gross value was put at £134 in 1775 and at £292 in 1811. The dean and canons were allotted a rent-charge of £264 in 1839 when the great tithes and customary payments in place of the small tithes were all commuted. '''Economic History'''
The evidence of continuous occupation over a long period at All Cannings Cross and of many upland linchets shows that much of All Cannings tithing was cultivated in prehistoric times. T.R.E. All Cannings was assessed at 18 hides and 1½ virgate. In 1086 the demesne amounted to 4 hides on which there were 8 serfs and 5 ploughs, but most of the land was apparently in the hands of tenants. The 27 villeins, 17 bordars, and 6 cottars in the tithing shared 10 ploughs. There were 108 a. of meadow, pasture a league long by 4 furlongs broad, and woodland 4 furlongs long by 2 furlongs broad. By 1086 the value of the estate had increased from £20 to £30. For a long period before the 16th century arable cultivation in All Cannings was probably in two commonable fields, North field and South field. In 1540 the farmer and tenants of All Cannings manor held a total of 633 a. in North field and 419 a. in South field. Other land in the two fields was almost certainly held by the tenants of other estates in the tithing. Such tenants held a little over 200 a. of arable land at inclosure in 1799, so that in the early 16th century North field perhaps amounted to some 750 a. and South field to some 500 a. By the early 16th century at least some of the meadow land was cultivated in severalty. The farmer of the demesne of All Cannings manor held 20 a. of inclosed meadows and the customary tenants of the manor and the tenants of other lands in the tithing held both several and common meadows. In the early 16th century and perhaps earlier there was a number of upland pastures, West down and East down comprising the upland in the north of the tithing, including the scarp face and the dip slope north of Wansdyke, and the Hill and Little down, perhaps Clifford's Hill and Rybury Camp. The demesne flock, 874 wethers in 1450 and not leased until 1480, probably fed on all the downs. Tenantry flocks of 690 and 570 sheep and herds of 47 and 45 other animals, could be fed on the West and East downs respectively, and the flocks were probably joined by some of the freeholders' sheep. A flock could also be kept by the holder of Giles's farm on Little down, said to be 40 a. in 1488, and a copyholder could keep 131 sheep on the Hill. The customers could feed 868 sheep on the common fields and other farmers presumably kept sheep there as well. In 1540 there was a common lowland pasture south-west of the village called Fairfield, later Farrell. It measured 45 a. in 1799, but was possibly more extensive in the 16th century. Most of the tenants, especially those with smaller holdings, had pasture rights on it. In 1540 it could be depastured by 16 sheep and 121 other animals in summer, and by 108 sheep and 46 other animals in winter. There were also small areas of several lowland pasture. '''Customary Holdings'''
In 1540 three types of customary holding from All Cannings manor were recognized. There were some 30 yardlands, then disparate but on average consisting of some 25 a. of land in both arable fields, some 2 a. of meadow land, and pasture rights. There were eight 'cotsetlands', usually merged with other holdings, each including about half the arable of a yardland, some meadow land, common in the arable fields and in Farrell, but no common on the upland. There were also six 'acremanlands' comprising on average some 10 a. of arable, land in a common meadow, probably Acremans mead, and common in the common fields and Farrell. Some 35 customary holdings were shared in 1540 among 27 tenants. Their rents totalled £38 12s. 6d. The demesne farm, which remained comparatively small, was leased with its stock, but not with its sheep, probably in the earlier 15th century for rents in kind. William Philip was lessee in 1449 but by 1498 the demesne of All Cannings, like that of Urchfont, was held by William Harvest. The demesne flock was leased for £8 in 1480 and, when the farm was leased to John Burdon in 1523, it was for a cash rent of £26 6s. 8d. In 1540 the farm included 212 a. of arable, 20 a. of meadow land, 31 a. of inclosed pasture, and presumably feeding rights on the upland pastures. In 1535 the last abbess of Nunnaminster leased the demesne to her relative Edward Shelley for 40 years from 1554, but, lawfully or otherwise, John Burdon continued to occupy it after that date and it passed to his son-in-law Geoffrey Provender who surrendered it in 1573. It was then leased to Robert Nicholas (d. 1592) and passed to Edward Nicholas, presumably his grandson (d. 1623), who was succeeded by his son Robert. The farm was still held by Robert in 1639 when a lease was granted to his kinsman Sir Edward Nicholas (d. 1669), then a clerk to the Privy Council and later Secretary of State to Charles I and Charles II. Robert Nicholas apparently gave up his interests in the farm to a Mr. Goddard, from whom it was sequestered in 1648, but members of the Nicholas family perhaps retained their interests in it until the manor was bought by Sir Edward's son Edward. '''Field Division'''
In the 16th and 17th centuries there was apparently some fragmentation of the arable fields of All Cannings. West field was mentioned in 1540. It was possibly part of the third field, called Allington field, later Westbrook field, apparently taken from South field in the 16th century. By 1608 Westbrook field had been split into Great and Little Westbrook. There was a Limborough field in 1649 and an East field in 1739. The meadow land, much of which was cultivated in common in 1540, was inclosed to form very small fields, possibly in the 16th century. New arrangements were also made for the use of the upland pasture. The farmer of the manor of All Cannings apparently gave up his rights, if such rights existed, to feed sheep on the East down and on Clifford's Hill and Rybury Camp, together known later as West down. The other tenants, except perhaps the holder of Provenders, gave up rights to the West down, subsequently called Farm down. In the 17th and 18th centuries All Cannings demesne remained the only large farm in the tithing. It was leased to Henry Miles in 1739 and later to John Manning. Giles's farm, more than 400 a. at inclosure, Hillersdons farm, more than 150a. at inclosure, but both then including much down land, and South farm, some 100 a. of mainly meadow land at inclosure, were the largest of the other farms. In the early 18th century the 43 copyhold farms, worth some £26 a year in rents, were shared among 29 tenants, all of whom clearly had relatively small farms. There were also several small farms in the tithing held freely. Much land in the tithing was already inclosed by the later 18th century. Most of the demesne farm was several. West of the road from Patney to All Cannings in the southernmost part of the tithing were some 96 a. of demesne water-meadows. North of them, in an arc around Farrell and the southern part of the village, were 100 a. of arable and pasture lands, and east of the pastures were two arable inclosures, together 51 a. Great Westbrook field, 77 a., was several to the farmer who also had Farm down, some 550 a. Some of the tenantry and freely held lands were also inclosed. Part of Little Westbrook field, part of an arable field in the southeast of the tithing, and All Cannings meadows, still cultivated in very small pieces, were all inclosed. The rest of the arable and pasture land of the tithing was commonable. The pasture consisted of Farrell and two upland pastures, East down, some 500 a., and West down, some 210 a. south of Wansdyke. The arable was broken up into a number of fields. Land probably in the former South field and commonable in the 18th century included that part of Little Westbrook field not inclosed, Lains field, bounded on the north by the Devizes-Pewsey road, on the south by Mill Way, and on the west by Marlborough Way, and south of Mill Way a field bounded in the west by the road from Patney to All Cannings. Commonable land probably in the former North field included Woodway field, below the Devizes-Pewsey road between Moor brook and the path to Tan Hill, an eastern and a western field above the road, and the land in the two coombs north-east and south-west of Rybury Camp. All the commonable arable fields included compact areas of demesne arable ranging in size from 7 a. to 43 a. Before inclosure there were 1,243 a. of arable, 1,264 a. of upland pasture, and 728 a. of lowland pasture and meadow in the tithing. The commons of All Cannings were inclosed in 1799 under an Act of 1797. All the commonable arable land was inclosed and allotted. All Cannings farm, the demesne farm, acquired the arable in both coombs, Farrell, and part of the west tenantry down including Rybury Camp. Another part of the same down, some 35 a., and part of the East down, 55 a., was allotted as part of Hillersdons, and part of the East down, 235 a., was allotted as part of Giles's. Specific rights were allotted to the rest of both downs, 55 a. of West down including Clifford's Hill and 216 a. of East down adjoining Farm down in the west, but both were fed in common by the sheep of farmers holding the allotments, 123 sheep on the small West down and 659 sheep on the East down. After inclosure All Cannings farm amounted to 1,121 a., tenants of the manor held 1,313 a., and other landowners held some 900 a. Allotments were made to more than 40 owners and tenants in 1799 but by 1839 the number of farms in the tithing had declined. Charles Hitchcock then held All Cannings farm, 1,524 a., Simon Pile Hitchcock farmed 1,000 a. including Giles's, Hillersdons, and South farms and much former copyhold land of the manor, and John Clift farmed 234 a. There were, however, still a few small farms. By 1839 there had also been conversion of upland pasture to arable and lowland arable to pasture. There were then 1,530 a. of arable, 916 a. of upland pasture, and 925 a. of lowland pasture and meadow. By the end of the 19th century there were seven farms in the tithing. Sidney Crees held Manor farm, 529 a. in the south of the tithing, and Bridge House farm, 1,408 a. including Bridge House with Wycombe's yard opposite it and All Cannings Cross farm, which together made up All Cannings farm. Cliff farm, 273 a., was leased to D. and J. Wiltshire; South farm, 233 a., was held by Henry Nutland; and there were other farms of 49 a., 15 a., and 68 a. besides Hitchcock's farm, some 600 a., later forming part of Church farm in Stanton St. Bernard. The reduction in the number of farms in the 19th century made possible the elimination of common rights on the former tenantry downs which were both parts of Bridge House farm by 1898. At the same time the lands were rearranged to make compact farms in the various parts of the tithing resulting in the subsequent enlargement of some of the arable fields and some of the meadows. The process of converting upland pasture to arable and some lowland arable to pasture was continued as cattle replaced sheep in the tithing. Agriculture has continued on a similar pattern at All Cannings in the 20th century. Tillage has continued on as much as possible of the upland and on the Lower Chalk between the downs and the village, and pasture for cattle and some arable cultivation has continued on the Lower Chalk and Upper Greensand south of the village. Battery hens were also kept on Manor farm in 1971. Allington was assessed at 11½ hides and 5 a. T.R.E. when it was worth £12. There was said to be land for 7 ploughs in 1086. The 7½ demesne hides had 4 ploughs and 7 serfs, the 6 villeins and 7 bordars shared 1 plough, and the knight with an estate in Allington also had 1 plough. There were 20 a. of meadow, and pasture 6 furlongs long and 3 furlongs broad. The whole estate was worth £15. All the cultivable land of the tithing was apparently under cultivation by 1300. The manorial demesne, comparatively large in 1086, was still so in 1300. It was said to comprise 340 a. of arable and 10 a. of meadow land with pasture rights for 400 sheep, probably on the upland, and for 24 sheep, probably on the lowland. A virgate of land, later reckoned at 18 a. of arable and 3 a. of meadow with pasture rights but probably including no more than about 12 a. of arable in 1300, was held by each of eleven customers for cash rent and daily work, and another eight customers each held 8 a. for produce rent and daily work. There were said to be a few free tenants paying rents totalling 16s. a year, and four cottagers. The total value of the manor was reckoned at more than £25 a year. The demesne was worth more than £18 and £5 was the value of labour services. In addition to Allington manor Provenders comprised six bovates, later assessed at 58 a. of arable and 10 a. of meadow with pasture rights. The structure of Allington manor had apparently changed considerably by 1427. Its value, said to be £16 a year, was much less, and it was made up from the various sources in different proportions. The demesne was assessed at only £7, free tenants paid £1 a year in rents, but other tenants paid rents worth £8. The demesne was said to comprise only 200 a. of arable, indicating that some of it had perhaps been added in parcels to customary holdings, and that the importance of the manorial demesne in the economy of Allington declined appreciably in the 14th century. Allington demesne was possibly leased as a single farm until the later 16th century, but by the early 17th century it was broken up and leased in yardlands, often to existing tenants. In the 18th century the manor comprised some 30 yardlands, each reckoned at 18 a. of arable and 3 a. of meadow, about 15 held by copies for 15s. a year, and about 15, the former demesne lands, held by leases at 18s. a year, all shared among some 25 tenants. There was also a farm held freely of the manor and Provenders farm. The manor was worth £26 a year in rents but the lord's income from it came primarily from fines. By the time of inclosure in 1799 much copyhold land had been converted to leasehold and a few comparatively large farms had emerged. Thomas Parry held 138 a. after inclosure, Joseph Parry held 176 a., and Daniel Parry held 154 a. Provenders, 195 a. at inclosure, was the other substantial farm in the tithing. Before inclosure there were two almost equal common arable fields at Allington, East field to the east and north of the village, and West field, which included the Knoll, to the west and south of the village. In 1725 it was agreed to inclose an area of the common fields called Hasletts field, probably the southernmost part of West field. At inclosure in 1799 East field comprised 230 a. and West field 215 a. Hasletts had apparently been inclosed, divided into small allotments, and converted to meadow land. It seems to have been added to Allington meads, the copyhold parts of which were cultivated in common in the 17th century but subsequently converted into very small several pieces, possibly when Hasletts was inclosed. In 1799 Allington meads consisted of 44 fields covering about 86 a. Before Allington demesne was broken up the upland pasture of the tithing was apparently divided almost equally between a western demesne and an eastern tenantry down. The two downs remained separate until inclosure when they amounted to about 270 a. and 300 a. respectively and provided stints for 900 and 750 sheep. The common arable fields of Allington were inclosed and allotted in 1799 under the Act of 1797, and arable cultivation was for a time carried out in much smaller fields. Rights to specific parts of the upland pasture were allotted at the same time but most of it was not inclosed. A several down pasture of 156 a. in the extreme north of the tithing was allotted to John Giddings for Provenders, but the rest of the upland continued to be pastured in common. The allotments to the three members of the Parry family, 239 a. mainly of former demesne upland, could be used by 930 sheep, and the other allotments, 182 a. mainly of the former copyhold down, could support a flock of 532 sheep. The number of farms in Allington decreased rapidly in the early 19th century. There were at least fifteen farms in 1800 but by 1839 Joseph Parry had accumulated a farm of 850 a., called Allington farm, and Thomas Giddings occupied the only other substantial farm, 208 a. In 1907 Valentine Burry held Allington farm, 814 a., there was a farm of 55 a., and Provenders remained about 200 a. The growth of Allington farm resulted in a return to arable cultivation in large fields and the elimination of common rights on the upland pasture. By 1839 some 100 a. of Giddings's several upland was converted to arable, and by the end of the century more downland had been converted to arable and some lowland arable to pasture. In the 20th century Allington farm remained the only large farm which in 1971 specialized in sheep as well as in dairy and arable farming. Although deemed part of All Cannings manor much of Fullaway was held freely and the detached tithing played no significant part in the economic life of All Cannings. The free land, Fullaway farm, comprised much of the tithing in the 16th century, and perhaps earlier, and the farm apparently included some land in the parishes of Urchfont and Stert. In 1540 Thomas Noyes leased the land of All Cannings manor in Fullaway, including pastures called Frithes and Undercliffs, previously part of All Cannings farm. It comprised 12 a. of meadow, 37 a. of pasture, and only 6 a. of arable. When he subsequently acquired Fullaway farm Noyes therefore held most of the tithing, which was almost entirely pastoral. In 1771 the farm was leased by Samuel Wyche to Charles and Jacob Giddings who divided it in 1773. It was reunited after it was bought by Jacob Giddings and amounted to 65 a. in 1839. At that time 80 a. of the 105 a. of the tithing were pasture and concentration on cattle farming has continued since then. Mill. There was a mill paying 13s. at All Cannings in 1086. A water-mill in All Cannings was bought by the abbess of Nunnaminster from Edith, widow of Robert Druce, probably in the later 13th century. The mill thereafter remained part of the manor and was leased with the demesne farm in the 15th and 16th centuries. It stood in the south of the tithing just north of the road to Etchilhampton near Etchilhampton Water where it was driven by the water of Moor brook. It probably fell into disuse in the 17th century. In the later 18th century only the pond could be located. Land in the eastern part of South field was known from at least the 15th to the later 18th century as Windmill Ball, later the Ball, suggesting that perhaps a windmill once stood on the site. Fair. In 1499 the abbess of Nunnaminster was granted the right to hold a fair on Chalborough Down, near Wansdyke, on St. Anne's and the following day (26 and 27 July). Chalborough Down was called St. Anne's Hill by 1541 and Tan Hill by the late 17th century. Tan Hill fair was not held in 1637 because of pestilence. In 1792 and later the fair was held on 6 August. It was a large sheep and horse fair incorporating the usual amusements, including horse racing, and attended by people from the whole county and beyond. It was held until the Second World War. The fair was held on the land of Allington but the profits from it were leased by the abbess and succeeding lords with the demesne of All Cannings manor. They were sold with Bridge House and Cross farms in 1909 and were bought by the Maidments of Wilcot. '''Local Government.'''
The village of All Cannings was comparatively large in the Middle Ages. Perhaps because of that it was divided into four tithings, and four tithingmen of All Cannings attended the hundred court until at least 1439. In 1710 the tithings, called the two great and the two little tithings, were recognized areas of the village. If the tithings were thus territorial in the Middle Ages such a division of a single village, in which there was no multiplicity of rights of jurisdiction, was most unusual in Wiltshire. In 1443 the abbess of Winchester was granted view of frankpledge and the assize of ale in All Cannings. The grant was repeated in 1468 and again in 1476. Records of the abbess's view exist from 1518 to 1530. It was held with the court twice a year. Both private and public jurisdiction were exercised in it. Offences punishable under leet jurisdiction and the assizes, including assault and brewers', butchers', and millers' offences, were apparently presented by the tithingmen; tenurial matters and breaches of manorial custom, including misuse of common pastures and the deaths of tenants, were presented by the homage of the manor; and a body of twelve jurors endorsed both sets of presentments and sometimes added some of their own. The four tithingmen each paid 7s. cert-money, presumably collected from their tithing. Admissions were performed and, at the Michaelmas court, manorial officers chosen. Those holding freely in All Cannings, however, could not be compelled to attend. Court records for the manor of Allington, which exist for 1710–16, refer primarily to tenurial business. Road surveyors' accounts for 1768–1812 and churchwardens' accounts for 1768–1872 exist for the parish. All Cannings and Allington tithings became parts of Devizes poor-law union in 1835. The civil parish of Fullaway joined the union in 1861. '''Churches'''
A church stood at All Cannings from the early 13th century. By the late 13th century some of its revenues had been taken by the nuns of Winchester to endow a prebend in the abbey church of St. Mary. Other revenues of the church, however, were not appropriated and the benefice remained a rectory. Etchilhampton church was probably built as a chapel of All Cannings in the later 14th century. It remained so in 1971. The advowson of the church belonged to the abbess of Winchester until the Dissolution. The rector presented by the abbess in 1382, however, was presented again by the king in 1384 when a vacancy in the abbey was pending. The king presented again in 1387 for unknown reasons. In 1423 rival presentations were apparently made by the king and the abbess, but the abbess's candidate was instituted. In 1536 the advowson was granted to Edward Seymour who presented in 1545. Like the manor of All Cannings, however, the advowson of the rectory passed to the Crown under the Act of attainder against Somerset in 1552, and in 1554 and 1557 the Crown presented. Somerset's widow Anne and her husband Francis Newdigate presented in 1571, but the advowson, like the manor, was restored to Somerset's son Edward, earl of Hertford, who presented in 1593. The advowson subsequently passed with the manor but grants of a turn were usually made by the lords. Among the grantees were Walter Ernle in 1709 and William Fowle of All Cannings in 1734. In 1910 Sir Christopher Furness conveyed the advowson to James Harman who conveyed it to Miss Mary Watney in 1914. In 1916 Miss Watney conveyed it to trustees and in 1971 it was still held by trustees. The rectory was valued at £13 6s. 8d. in 1291 but was later said to have been under-valued. The real value was put at £20. Its net annual value was assessed at £31 17s. in 1535. It was leased for £30 a year to Sir Edward Baynton (d. 1544), passed to his son Andrew, but was sub-let. It was valued at £300 in 1649 and at an annual average of £1,100 net from 1829 to 1831, making it the richest parish church in Wiltshire at the time. A pension of £2 5s. was paid by the rector to the abbess of Winchester until 1536, and thereafter to the Seymours. In 1341 the rector's great tithes were worth £11 and the small tithes, with other payments, were valued at £1 13s. When the prebendal and rectorial tithes were reapportioned in 1602 the rector received all the tithes of All Cannings, Etchilhampton, and Fullaway. They were commuted for a rentcharge of £1,220 10s. in 1839. In 1341 the rector had a virgate of land worth 5s., meadow worth 20s., and pasture worth 5s. He acquired a few acres of formerly prebendal glebe in All Cannings in 1602, and in 1608 his glebe amounted to some 40 a. with pasture rights in All Cannings and 4 marks from the farmer instead of pasturage for eight oxen. At inclosure in 1799 the rector's allotments totalled 36 a. An arable field of 21 a. was exchanged for a field of 11½ a. behind the east side of the village street, 9 a. of which were sold in 1920 and used for the building of council houses. There were also 4 a. of glebe land in Etchilhampton. The rectory-house stood a short distance north-west of the church and was inhabited by rectors until it was sold in 1969. In 1972 the oldest part of the house was of two brick- and flintwalled storeys bearing the date 1642 and a Greek inscription meaning 'his work'. That part was possibly an addition to an older building northwest of it which has been replaced by buildings of the period 1800–7 and the mid 19th century. The former entrance front to the north-east has been demolished. A chantry chapel was founded in the church, probably by Sir Richard Beauchamp (d. 1508), Lord St. Amand, about the time that the manor of Allington was settled on his son Anthony St. Amand and Anne West. It was probably the chapel dedicated to St. Anne in respect of which a pension of 6s. 8d. was paid to Edward Seymour in 1535, and was possibly served by the rector of All Cannings. In 1306 the rector of All Cannings had custody of Woodborough church, the rector of which could not serve it. Thomas Berkham, rector from 1333 to at least 1351, was provided to a canonry of Chichester cathedral in 1351, and in 1442 William Hukyns was granted a dispensation to hold another cure. Edward Lee, presented in 1512 and the holder of other benefices, resigned in 1531 when he was consecrated archbishop of York. By the mid 16th century it seems to have been already customary for curates to be appointed to assist the rectors by serving the church at Etchilhampton, and possibly that at All Cannings when the rector resided elsewhere. John Fisher, presented in 1545, was deprived of the living by Queen Mary in 1554. Mary presented two rectors, the second of whom, James Ingram, presented in 1557, was pardoned by Elizabeth I in 1559 presumably for supporting Mary's religious policy. By 1564 John Fisher had been restored. Hugh Gough, rector 1593–1625, was also rector of Little Cheverell but apparently lived at All Cannings. Robert Byng, Gough's successor, was also rector of Devizes. He was ejected from All Cannings in 1646 and replaced by Jeffrey Simkins who signed the Concurrent Testimony of Ministers in 1648 and was presented in 1649. Simkins was in turn ejected in 1660. Most of the 18th- and 19thcentury rectors lived in the parish. Sir John Ernle, rector 1709–34, was the cousin of Sir Edward Ernle of Etchilhampton. In 1783 the rector was assisted at All Cannings by a curate. In the 19th century the long incumbency of Thomas Anthony Methuen, the brother of Lord Methuen of Corsham and rector 1809–69, was notable. Methuen also held the rectory of Garsdon with the vicarage of Lea from 1814 but lived at All Cannings. From 1856 he was assisted there by his relative H. H. Methuen, and from 1861 by F. P. Methuen. A church was apparently built at Allington before 1100 when Harold of Ewias, lord of Allington manor, granted it to St. Peter's Abbey, Gloucester, as part of the endowment of Ewias Priory, a cell of the abbey. The prior of Ewias received a pension of £2 from All Cannings church in 1291 by which time Allington church had possibly been annexed to it as a chapel. There are no records of presentations to Allington church, which may already have been in decline by the 14th century. The pension was subsequently paid to St. Peter's Abbey, which annexed Ewias Priory in 1359, and in 1541 the pension, then £2 13s. 4d., was granted to Gloucester cathedral. The church stood north of the Devizes-Pewsey road in the north-east of the village, and the remains of the nave and chancel were seen through the soil in 1847. Some doubt surrounds the dedication of All Cannings church. It was called All Saints in 1492, possibly following the name of the village. The dedication was afterwards to St. Anne, perhaps following the dedication of the chantry chapel in the church, but was again to All Saints from about 1928. '''ALL SAINTS''' church is a cruciform building consisting of an aisled nave of three bays, a central tower, north and south transepts, south chapel, north and south porches, and a 19thcentury chancel. The oldest features are late Norman and include the northern respond of the chancel arch. The piers of the crossing which support the tower probably date from the 14th century, but incorporated in the south-west pier is a low circular column or respond with a scalloped capital. Its presence in this position has led to the suggestion that the Norman church was cruciform and had a crossing larger than the later one. It is more likely, however, that the column was once the most easterly pier of the south arcade of the nave. Its diameter and moulded base are identical with those of the circular piers of the surviving south arcade which has evidently been heightened at some period. The Norman nave may therefore have had at least one aisle and also an additional eastern bay on the site of the present crossing. The chancel, which has been twice rebuilt, formerly had an east window composed of three lancets under a single arch, suggesting that it was of the early 13th century. The cruciform plan of the church may have originated in the 14th century. The tower, of three stages above roof level, is wholly Perpendicular in style and has a plain parapet and a prominent stair turret. The base of the turret, inside the north transept, housed the former rood-loft stair. Both transepts are of mid15th-century date but the side walls of the south transept were heightened and the roof was given a flatter pitch when the chantry chapel was built to the east of it. At the same time the elaborate external parapet of the chapel was continued round the transept. The embattled parapet is ornamented with shields of arms, quatrefoils, and pinnacles. The arms include those of St. Amand and Beauchamp, strengthening the suggestion that the chantry was founded by Sir Richard Beauchamp. Fragments of stained glass in the transept window include the initials 'I.B.', perhaps for John Baynton who succeeded Sir Richard. Surviving glass in the north transept is thought to represent part of an Annunciation. The nave and aisles of the church were evidently remodelled at an even later date, perhaps after the Reformation. The west window, the south porch, and the external walls of the aisles have mainly Tudor characteristics. An exception is the outer arch of the north porch which appears to have survived from the early 14th century. The nave arcades may have assumed their present lofty form at any period from the 14th century onwards. The piers of both arcades are circular but those on the north side have plain chamfers instead of the early 'water-holding' bases of the south arcade. The nave roof, which has been renewed, retains the date 1638. The chancel was restored or rebuilt in the later 17th century, probably by Henry Kinnimond, the rector whose initials appeared with the date 1678 above the former east window. New pews were installed in 1829 and extensive alterations including the renewal of the roof and the removal of a west gallery were carried out in 1843. In 1867 the chancel was rebuilt on a slightly narrower plan, giving the existing chancel arch a more central position. The architect was Henry Weaver of Devizes. The interior is elaborately treated with wall arcading, stained-glass windows, an alabaster reredos of the Last Supper, and a timber vault. A tablet commemorates the rebuilding at the expense of Thomas Methuen and his sons. The church contains a carved octagonal font of the 15th century with a 17th-century cover. The pulpit dates from 1867. At the west end of the south aisle is an impressive stone monument to William Ernle (d. 1581) of Etchilhampton and his wife. At the corresponding end of the north aisle a large plain tablet commemorates Sir John Ernle (d. 1734) and his wife Elizabeth. There were three bells in 1553. By the 20th century there were five: (i) and (iii) by Roger Purdue dated 1626 and 1629 respectively, (ii) by Thomas Rudhall dated 1771, (iv) dated 1806, and (v) recast at Bristol in 1887. The old tenor had been dated 1658. The fittings of all except the tenor were dilapidated in 1910. The bells were recast and rehung in 1929. A clock-bell dated 1629 then hung at the top of the tower. In 1553 3½ oz. of silver were taken for the king but an old chalice weighing 12 oz. was kept. A flagon and paten were given to the church in 1757 but, when the new chancel was built in 1867, a new set of plate, hall-marked 1866, was supplied. It included a pair of chalices, a paten, and a cruetshaped flagon, and still belonged to the church in 1971.

The rector claimed that there were no nonconformists in his parish in 1783. Four independent meeting-houses were nevertheless registered between 1797 and 1799. A Wesleyan Methodist chapel on the east side of the southern part of All Cannings street was registered in 1890. It was closed by 1959. William Hiscock of Allington was described as a 'quaker or sectarian' in 1662, and two people of Allington were said to be Quakers in 1674. In the 19th century there was a flourishing dissenting congregation in the village. A Strict Baptist chapel, the Bethel chapel, was opened in the centre of the village in 1829, probably under the auspices of Joseph Parry, the principal farmer in the tithing and well known locally as a village evangelist. The Revd. J. C. Philpott, a fellow of Worcester College, Oxford, who left the Anglican church in 1835, was rebaptized at Allington. In 1851 Sunday services were held in the morning and afternoon, attended on Census Sunday by congregations of 80 and 100 respectively, and the rector of All Cannings commented in 1864 that most Allington people attended the chapel. It was registered for the solemnizing of marriages in 1881 and remained a prominent social centre in the village until the 20th century. It was closed from c. 1927 to 1937 but then reopened. Weekly services were held in it in 1971. '''Education'''
A Sunday school in All Cannings was supported by voluntary contributions in 1808. There was a day-school for about 100 children by 1818, but during the week many of them worked in the fields instead of attending it. By 1833 there were two day-schools in the village. The parish school, built in 1833 at the east end of the church, was attended by 57 boys and 48 girls taught by a salaried mistress, and was supported by subscription. At the other school 12 children were taught at their parents' expense, but this school was closed by 1858. The parish school was improved by aid from the Committee of Council on Education. Children left it at the age of ten or twelve in 1864. By 1906 the average attendance was 107 but had declined to 81 in 1914. The school was reorganized as a controlled all-age school in 1961, but in 1971 only 54 pupils attended it, including about 10 from Etchilhampton and about 7 from Allington. A day-school at Allington was opened in 1831. It was supported by the parents and was attended by 20 children in 1833. There was apparently no special building for the school which was closed by 1858. '''Charities for the Poor'''
By her will proved 1830 Ann Lavington gave £500 in trust, the income from which was to be distributed to the poor of All Cannings whether or not they already received parochial aid. In 1834 the income, £16 a year, was spent on blankets and clothing distributed every January. In 1868 the annual dividend was £13 10s. which was spent on flannel. Each of about 95 beneficiaries received 3 yards. In 1965 the income, still £13 10s., was distributed in sums of 10s. to each of 27 poor people. Residents of the tithing of Allington were not beneficiaries of the charity. In 1971 sums of 10s. were still distributed. By his will proved 1883 Henry Hoare Methuen, previously assistant curate of All Cannings, gave £150 in trust, the income from which was to be distributed to the sick and aged poor of All Cannings and Etchilhampton in sums of not less than 1s. 6d., two-thirds of the total being paid to residents of All Cannings, a third to residents of Etchilhampton. In the early 20th century the income was £3 14s., the All Cannings portion of which was usually spent by the rector to provide blankets worth 5s. each for some ten people. In 1965 the total income of the charity was £2 4s. and four people each received 10s. in cash. In 1971 the income was applied with Lavington's charity. In 1905 G. S. A. Waylen bought £193 stock to benefit the poor of All Cannings and until 1935 he and members of his family, as trustees, added the interest to the village nurse fund. In 1935 the Waylens appointed new trustees and in 1962 the fund was regulated by a scheme. Local trustees were appointed with power to spend the income to the general benefit of the poor. In 1965 the income from £187 was £6 11s. and in that year eight people each received £1 in cash from the fund. In 1971 the interest was applied with Lavington's charity. === All Saints Parish Register === The Wiltshire OPC Project has transcribed the All Saints Parish Register into a table from the book The Registers of Allcannings, and Etchilhampton, Wiltshire held here [[Space:The_Registers_of_Allcannings%2C_and_Etchilhampton%2C_Wiltshire|The Registers of Allcannings, and Etchilhampton, Wiltshire]]. *[https://wiltshire-opc.org.uk/Items/All%20Cannings/All%20Cannings%20-%20Baptisms%201578-1680.pdf All Cannings - Baptisms 1578-1680] * [https://wiltshire-opc.org.uk/Items/All%20Cannings/All%20Cannings%20-%20Baptisms%201689-1812.pdf All Cannings - Baptisms 1689-1812] * [https://wiltshire-opc.org.uk/Items/All%20Cannings/All%20Cannings%20-%20Baptisms%201813-1899.pdf All Cannings - Baptisms 1813-1899] * [https://wiltshire-opc.org.uk/Items/All%20Cannings/All%20Cannings%20-%20Banns%201755-1805.pdf All Cannings - Banns 1755-1805] * [https://wiltshire-opc.org.uk/Items/All%20Cannings/All%20Cannings%20-%20Marriages%201578-1699.pdf All Cannings - Marriages 1578-1699] * [https://wiltshire-opc.org.uk/Items/All%20Cannings/All%20Cannings%20-%20Marriages%201700-1812.pdf All Cannings - Marriages 1700-1812] * [https://wiltshire-opc.org.uk/Items/All%20Cannings/All%20Cannings%20-%20Marriages%201813-1899.pdf All Cannings - Marriages 1813-1899] * [https://wiltshire-opc.org.uk/Items/All%20Cannings/All%20Cannings%20-%20Burials%201578-1680.pdf All Cannings - Burials 1578-1680] * [https://wiltshire-opc.org.uk/Items/All%20Cannings/All%20Cannings%20-%20Burials%201681-1812.pdf All Cannings - Burials 1681-1812] * [https://wiltshire-opc.org.uk/Items/All%20Cannings/All%20Cannings%20-%20Burials%201813-1899.pdf All Cannings - Burials 1813-1899] === Notables === * [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Seymour,_1st_Duke_of_Somerset Edward_Seymour,_1st_Duke_of_Somerset] 1500 to 22 January 1552. * [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Seymour-41 Edward Seymour - 1st Earl of Hertford] 22 May 1539 to 6 April 1621. * [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Newdigate-2 Francis Newdigate (1519 1582] *[[Wikipedia:David Curwen|David Curwen]] English miniature railway steam locomotive mechanical engineer. ==Sources== '''Citation: '''A P Baggs, D A Crowley, Ralph B Pugh, Janet H Stevenson and Margaret Tomlinson, 'Parishes: All Cannings', in A History of the County of Wiltshire: Volume 10, ed.

== Allenbach, Rhineland-Palatinate One Place Study == Allenbach is a village in southwestern Germany, county of Rhineland-Palatinate. It is located in the Naturpark Saar-Hunsrück, a nature park mainly consisting of hills, creeks, woodland and fields. The hamlets of Hüttgeswasen and Pfannenfelshütten are part of this One Place Study. There were some smaller coaler settlements in the woods around Allenbach; these are included here, too. The villages of Wirschweiler, Sensweiler, Abentheuer and Langweiler though deserve One Place Studies of their own. This page is still under construction. I will slowly start by transcribing the Allenbach church books and by creating profiles for all people mentioned. If possible, I will enhance the data from church books by using local sources like Ortsfamilienbücher, valid web resources, archive material, scientific papers etc. If anybody would like to help, you are very welcome. You could, for example, add the proper category to an Allenbach profile. {{One Place Study|place=Allenbach, Rhineland-Palatinate|category=Allenbach, Rhineland-Palatinate One Place Study}} {{Clear}} *[http://www.allenbach-hunsrueck.de/ Official Website] *{{Wikidata|Q574609|enwiki}} | {{Wikidata|Q574609|dewiki}} *[[Special:Whatlinkshere/Space:Allenbach, Rhineland-Palatinate One Place Study|WikiTree Profiles that link here]] ===Geography=== :'''Continent:''' Europe :'''Country:''' German :'''State:''' Rhineland-Palatinate :'''District:''' Birkenfeld :'''GPS Coordinates:''' 49.755556, 7.165833 :'''Elevation:''' 502.0 m or 1647.0 feet ===Name=== Originally Allenbach was called Ellenbach. "Bach" is the German word for a small river or creek. "Ellen" (engl. "ulna", part of the lower arm) is an old measuring unit but it is unclear if this is the origin of the name. ===Administrative Affiliations of Allenbach=== *1265: Grafschaft Sponheim *1798-1814: Kanton Rhaunen, Saardepartment (during French annexation) *1815: Kingdom of Preußen (Prussia) *1816: Kreis Bernkastel, Regierungsbezirk Trier *1822: Bürgermeisterei Wirschweiler, Rheinprovinz *1969: Landkreis Birkenfeld ===Hüttgeswasen hamlet=== Hüttgeswasen was a coaler settlement near Allenbach. Between 1740 and 1770 around 50 people lived there. [13] Hüttgeswasen still exists today, with a few houses on the Birkenfeld road. *Inhabitants of Hüttgeswasen: see [[:Category:Hüttgeswasen, Allenbach, Rhineland-Palatinate One Place Study]] ===Pfannenfelshütten hamlet=== Pfannenfelshütten was a settlement in the Allenbach forest where wood cutters and coalers tried to make a living. The hamlet probably was founded in 1718/19 and was lived in until around 1740. The coal that was made here was used in the Allenbach smelting works where copper was made from the ores found in Fischbach and Kautenbach mines. Some of the inhabitants can be found in Allenbach and Wirschweiler church books but as they were mostly catholics, most of them are listed in Birkenfeld catholic church books. [13] Last names found in Pfannenfelshütten are *Herbert(s) *Jacob *Masui *Martin *Barbion *Conrad ===Impressions of Allenbach=== *[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_a1hy1OBS0| Video on "In der Schied" (a street in Allenbach)] ---- ==History of Allenbach== Allenbach (or then Ellenbach) was first officially mentioned in 1265. Allenbach then was part of the earldom of Sponheim ("Grafschaft Sponheim") and in 1265 the earldom was split into two parts. Main seat of the earls was the Starkenburg, another castle near Traben-Trarbach on the Moselle river. The noble family died out in 1437. In 1625 the plague took many lifes in the village. For some pictures and more history, see [[https://allenbach-hunsrueck.de/tourismus/ausfluege-und-aktivitaeten/11-tourismus/im-ort/8-allenbacher-schloss|Allenbach Tourism Webpage]] (in German). ===Allenbach Castle === Allenbach already had a fortress, a "Burg" or castle, first mentioned in 1265 as Ellenbach castle. In 1437 the castle was used as a stud farm. It was the seat of the bailiffs. In 1511 to 1528 the castle was rebuilt; the timber frame house we can see today was erected. When French revolutionary troops entered Allenbach, Johann Matthias Sauermilch managed to avoid its destruction. He had bought the castle in 1804, lived in it at the time and ran a linen weaving mill here. In 1898 Max Purper bought the castle for 5500 Goldmark and hired two architects from Frankfurt to restore it. In a five year long process the facade was kept but the interior was modernized. Since then it is privately owned. It is a listed building. [3] ===Smelting Works=== Two copper smelting works and melting plants, recorded since the Middle Ages, secured some prosperity for the area. The copper ores mostly came from the mines in/near Fischbach. [1] On 8 Feb 1439, the rights to extract iron ore in this part of the Grafschaft Sponheim and to run the smelting works in Allenbach were given to Hans Kollenbrenner from Hellenthal/Eifel, Johann (meyer in Morbach) and his son Klaus. [6] On 17 Jul 1795 Johann Matthias Sauermilch as well as his partners Christoph and Jakob Cullmann obtained the licence to turn the lower smelting works in Allenbach into a ferric hammer mill. The Cullmanns sold their share to merchant Franz Langguth in 1801; Sauermilch sold his to the Stumm brothers in 1802. They also bought Langguth's shares. [6] The massive need for coal led to the establishment of several settlements of wood cutters and coalers in the local woods and to a reduction in beech trees in the area. Hüttgeswasen and Thranenweier are such settlements, they still exist today. [1] ===Allenbach Church=== Before Reformation was introduced in Allenbach in 1555/1557, there already existed a church or chapel on the castle grounds. In 1437 the priest's duty was to say mass three times a week. [1] The church bells of the old church had been made in 1503 and 1515. This old church, dark and narrow, had become dilapidated by 1777 and had to be pulled down. Master builder Wahl was commissioned to build a new church; on 19 June 1780 the foundation stone was laid. In 1781 the protestant church we can see today was finished in the classicist style and consecrated on the first advent in 1781. It is located near the castle and contains an organ built by famous local organ builder family Stumm in 1832. [2] [21] The church had cost around 3,900 Reichsthaler, the organ 630 Reichsthaler. Both were renovated again from 1963-1965. The Allenbach priest also took care of the Wirschweiler parish, a village next to Allenbach. In 1550 there was a quarrel about the tenth of earnings which was due to the church, documents about this dispute seem to have survived. In 1555 Wirschweiler had its own priest who converted to the protestant faith. A new pastor's house was built in 1567. During the 30-year-war (1618-1648) both parishes were united again, due to many deaths from battles, lootings and a plague pandemic. [21] 101 people died from the plague alone. After the death of parson Musculus, his son took over both parishes in 1632. Until 1753 this was kept, with the seat of the parish being in Wirschweiler from 1632 to 1754. After Musculus junior's death the people demanded their own pastor and got him, too. 1820 saw another union of the parishes, with Bruchweiler taken out of the parish and combined with Sensweiler parish. [21] In 1881 parson F. W. Kossuth wrote a church chronicle for Allenbach. ''Kirchenvisitation 1560 '' In 1560 duke Friedrich III initiated a "Kirchenvisitation" - a church inspection - in the posterior Grafschaft Sponheim, which involved a test of the protestant parsons' theological knowledge and their giving account as to their activities in the parish (sermons, services, catechism...), also as to the state of morals in their parish and the state of the church and churchyard. Chaplains, schoolmasters and other functions were also interviewed. Allenbach also was a part of these visitations. As there was no church book yet in Allenbach during that time, the records give a valuable insight into the people acting there. [7] Mentioned in the records on Allenbach are *Gerhard Böer, parson *Hans Bruch, censor *Klaus Flesch, censor *Johann von Koppenstein, bailiff *Else Ott *Klaus Ott *Hans Stein, censor *Peter Stein *Michel Weber, censor *Hennen Zipp They also mention Johannes Besthaupt, parson in Wirschweiler. There was another visitation in 1608. ====List of Allenbach Protestant Parsons==== The Allenbach protestant church book, starting in 1617, contains a list of Allenbach parsons on the first pages. I have supplemented and corrected them with information mostly from source [9]. '''Gerhard Böer (1559-1565)''' He passed his exam during the visitation of 1560 well and also seems to have had a decent life style. Böer was the first protestant parson to take over the Allenbach parish. '''Peter Holdenfeld (1565-1576)''' Holdenfeld came from the Jülich area; Allenbach church book mentions him as "ex Nidlander", from the Netherlands. In 1565 he became school master in Trarbach on the river Moselle and soon after that parson in Allenbach. At the end of 1572 the bailiff complained about him, as he seems to have been a drinker and did not take care of his fields and animals, which were supposed to secure his and his family's substistence. In 1575 the bailiff also claimed that Holdenfeld had misbehaved during the Brombach fair which almost resulted in the Birkenfeld bailiff putting him into the prison tower, and that he neglected his duties as a parson. The parson denied these allegations, still he was dropped, and he and his family left Allenbach in April 1576. '''Friedrich Müntzer (1576-1577)''' Müntzer was from Simmern and started his career in Allenbach in April 1576. The next year he was offered a post as a parson near Kreuznach where his wife owned land or houses, thus he asked for his release which was granted in August 1577. '''[[Wurtzel-18|Philippus Wurtzel]] (1577-1582)''' Wurtzel was from Schmalkalden and 47 years old when he took over as parson in Allenbach. He'd been a school master in St. Lambert near Neustadt an der Haardt before that. After begging duke Johann of Zweibrücken for a post so he could sustain his wife and children, he was tested thoroughly, as he was suspected of Calvinistic tendencies. Wurtzel passed the test and also had good testimonies. Thus he became parson in Allenbach in Dec 1577. He misbehaved, though, was put into the prison tower in 1582 and also lost his post. '''Matthias Sahm (1582-1597)''' Sahm came from Rugen (Ruchsen?) an der Jagst and was recommended by parson Konstantin Kanser to bailiff Richter; he also had testimonies. He had been a parson in Sulzbach from 1578. In 1582 he was given the post in Allenbach. He was not a very learnt man but fulfilled all his duties and was a peaceful person. His wife, though, was called an evil woman. 17 years later Sahm moved to a post in Pferdsfeld. '''Matthäus Ramus (1597-1598)''' Ramus came from Sensweiler, a neighbouring village, and had been a school master and assistant to parson Johannes Besthaubt there. He had just finished his studies and was impatiently waiting for Sahm to leave his post so he could take over. Ramus eventually took over in August 1597 but already was a sick man, and he passed away the following year. '''Wentzelaus Fend(ius) (1598-1606)''' Fend came from Kaaden in Bohemia and had been a parson in Trarbach. Always quarrelling with everybody, he was dismissed there and sent to Allenbach as a punishment for his behaviour. It did not take him long to quarrel with bailiff Richter and the people of his parish, too. The quarrel was settled but things were not right between him and bailiff Richter. In 1606 Fend complained to count Georg Friedrich of Baden about the bailiff's unchristian life style and even violence directed against him and the parson's son Friedrich by Richter. Richter denied and gave a different account of incidents. In the end Fend lost his post, and after paying his debts the family moved to Saarbrücken with the few belongings they had left, where they owned a house, while the parson himself travelled to Bohemia with friends. '''[[Schwesinger-6|Johannes Schwesinger]] (1606-1614)''' Schwesinger was from Coburg in Franconia and worked as a deacon in Brombach. He asserted himself against the parsons Fuchs and Porta and was presented to the parish by bailiff Richter in July 1606. He was 23 years old in 1608 and had been studying in Coburg, Jena and Strassburg. In 1605 he had come to Brombach from Strassburg. Schwesinger didn't find a church book in his Allenbach parish so he started the first one. The ones available start in 1617, though. A visitation in 1608 found his knowledge lacking but because of his youth people were lenient. He had good relations with his neighbours, fulfilled his duties but was quarrelling a lot with his wife. Thus he was advised to work on his marriage and drink less alcohol. But after several incidents of drunken fights with others and a fine given to him due to that, he was transferred to Wirschweiler. '''Karl Armbruster (1614-)''' Karl was the son of Heinrich Armbruster from Zweibrücken who was a parson in Reichenbach from 1585 to 1608. During his time in Allenbach, in 1617, he seems to have tried to seduce a man named Keyser's wife. Later Karl became a school master in Herrstein. [12: 8] [19:120] '''[[Schmoll-146|Friedrich Schmoll]] (1617-1626)''' Schmoll was born before 1610 in Oelsnitz, Vogtland, as son of Erhardt Schmoll. He worked as a schoolmaster in Birkenfeld, Hunsrück from 1615 to 1617. On 4 Jun 1616, he married Elisabeth Krämer from Birkenfeld. In 1617 he became parson in Allenbach. Later he seems to have remarried after the death of Elisabeth, and in 1626 he became parson in Enkirch. He passed away in 1649 in Enkirch. '''[[Glitzenhirn-1|Leonhard Glitzenhirn]] (1626-1630)''' Glitzenhirn took over from Schmoll in 1626 - according to the handwriting and style of the church book, he did this already in 1624, which is also mentioned on the first pages of the book but might not have been officially so. He was born in 1596 in Ulm as son of Levin Glitzenhirn and studied theology in Wittenberg and Straßburg. In 1624 he became a court chaplain on Birkenfeld castle. He took over as a priest in Allenbach, and in 1630 he became priest in Wolf, now a part of Traben-Trarbach, on the river Moselle. Leonhard married three times and died in 1676 in Wolf. '''[[Musculus-4|Johannes Georg Musculus]] (1630-ca.1640)''' Johann Georg Musculus was born around 1597 in Traben/Moselle as son of Georg Musculus and Angelika Troß and passed away on 15 Sep 1669 in Idar. [10] (Familienbuch Birkenfeld seems to have conflicting data and gives 1671 in Oberstein as death date & place [11: no. 2543]). He married Anna Sophia Storr in 1624 in Birkenfeld. He was a teacher in Birkenfeld and from 1630 to around 1640 he was a parson in Allenbach (and Wirschweiler). In 1632 the parished of allenbach and Wirschweiler were combined. He later went on to a post in Idar, now part of Idar-Oberstein. '''[[Musculus-7|Georg Wilhelm Musculus]] (1656-)''' Georg Wilhelm was the son of Johann Georg Musculus. He was born in 1630 in Allenbach and died there in 1698. He was married to Eva Kraftlina Corvinus. Georg Wilhelm was an assistant preacher and from 1656 paron in Allenbach and Wirschweiler. The list of parsons in Allenbach church book contains a side note with dates on his and his son's biography but is hard to read. '''[[Musculus-8|Johann Carl Musculus]] (-1710)''' Johann Carl was the son of Georg Wilhelm and was born in 1673 in Allenbach. He was the third generation of parsons of the Musculus family in Allenbach until in 1710 he moved to a post in Odernheim. His move was ordered by authorities, as in 1708 Johann Carl tried to seduce a married woman in a barn. It took one day for the people in Allenbach to decide that Johann Carl was unfit for his post, and started to boycott his service and the sacraments until Johann Carl was moved. [19:120] '''[[Liernur-6|Christophorus Adolphus Liernur]] (1709-1711)''' Liernur was born in 1680 in Winningen, son of parson Georg Tilemann Liernur and Anna Katharina Koch. He studied in Gießen, Jena, Leipzig and Straßburg. In 1706 he had a first post in Trarbach. From 1709 to 1711 he was a parson in Allenbach, then went back to Traben for a post. He married Anna Elisabeth Klick in 1706 in Trarbach. In 1740 he published a song book, "[https://books.google.de/books?id=hlJVAAAAcAAJ&pg=RA6-PP8&lpg=RA6-PP8&dq=Christoph+Adolph+Liernur+biographie&source=bl&ots=Zy-V5wku0B&sig=ACfU3U1_7N9TqhZTfOQaBFdTD5b5DFOcQg&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj-nsfar-v_AhV48rsIHZx3ADAQ6AF6BAgKEAM#v=onepage&q=Christoph%20Adolph%20Liernur%20biographie&f=false| Pfaltz-Zweybrückisch Evangelisches Gesang-Buch]". He later became a superintendent in Zweibrücken where he passed away in 1748. '''Johannes Trein''' Johannes Trein was from Heiligenbösch, a village nearby. '''Parson Metzger''' In 1754 the parishes of Wirschweiler and Allenbach were separated again. '''Parson Martini ''' '''Johann Nickel Caspari (1762 - 1767)''' Johann Nickel Caspari was born on 18 Apr 1724 in Trarbach as son of Johann Peter Caspari. He passed away on 24 Jun 1795 in Wolf/Moselle. He was parson in Enkirch (1746 - 1754, in Herrstein (1755 - 1762) and from 1762 - 1767 Pfr. in Allenbach. On 14 Jul 1762 he married Susanna Maria Hammes from Traben in Birkenfeld. He later moved on to another post in Nohfelden (1767 - 1778). [11:#545 ] [20:3] '''Karl Ludwig Stumpf ''' Karl Ludwig consecrated the newly built church in December 1781. '''Parson Barz (1820-1845?) ''' Barz was born in 1775 and ordinated in 1797. From 1820 onwards he was pastor in Allenbach-Wirschweiler. He was given emeritus status in 1845. He seems to have passed away in 1850. [22:96] '''F. W. Kossuth''' Kossuth wrote a church chronicle in 1881. The list also mentions Friderich Fuchs from Sötern and Johannes Besthaupt as parsons in Allenbach. The article [9] does not mention them as such. ====Other Church Posts==== *Hans Bruch, censor, mentioned 1560 [7] *Klaus Flesch, censor, mentioned 1560 [7] *Hans Stein, censor, mentioned 1560 [7] *Michel Weber, censor, mentioned 1560 [7] *[[Schreiner-1174|Johannes Schreiner]], church servant, +1625 [14] *[[Bock-2241|Philip Bock]], censor, +1625 [14] *Anton Hut/Hirt, sexton, mentioned 1619 and 1621 *Matthias Schmidt, "Kirchenschaffner", mentioned in 1632 *Philipp Scholl, church servant, (+1632) *Bast Schmidt, church servant, mentioned 1635 *Hans Peuer (?), church herder (?), mentioned 1643 ---- ==Population== ===Early Names and Numbers=== The number of inhabitants of Allenbach varied over the centuries. [1] [2] *1607: 64 families *1625: 19 families (due to the plague) *1772: 80 families *1815: 579 inhabitants *1835: 885 inhabitants *1843: 725 inhabitants in 94 houses *1871: 668 inhabitants *1905: 569 inhabitants *1939: 611 inhabitants *1950: 602 inhabitants *1961: 698 inhabitants *1970: 743 inhabitants *1987: 730 inhabitants *1997: 712 inhabitants *2005: 695 inhabitants *2011: 650 inhabitants *2017: 646 inhabitants Church books for Allenbach start in July 1617. For some years entries are missing. There are 6 christenings in 1617 and 12 in 1618. The numbers then vary between 2 and 15 a year until 1632, when there are 21. It is possible, though, that pages or entries are missing. The number of weddings also vary between 0 and 12 until 1634 - none are recorded between 1634 and 1655 but these might be recorded on the pages of another church book. Between 1617 and 1627, burials peak in 1625 (plague pandemic, 109 burials) and 1623 (26 burials). Last names in the early years of the first church book are Adam, Bach, Bastian, Bauer, Bock, Born, Brücher, Buß, Christmann, Cüntzer, Fickeisen, Fickes, Flesch, Fuchs, Geier, Gerhards, Grab, Hirt/Hut, Huckes, Knop, Kob, Laux, Mercker, Momper, Müller, Neeß, Nicklas, Philippi, Reichard, Risch/Riss/Resch/Rösch, Schmied/Schmidt, Schneider, Schreiner, Schwinn/Schwind, Stier, Studer, Stüper, Sturm, Stumm, Weber, Widmann, Wigandt, Zirbes Some people are not mentioned by their correct last names but with their professions. This makes it sometimes hard to combine data into families. ===People from Other Places=== Naturally people from other places than Allenbach are mentioned in the church books. Some places turn up quite often, thus I created subcategories for them. Most are from Wirschweiler and Sensweiler, as these villages are close to Allenbach.

Many people in the church books are not mentioned with their full name but instead with their affiliation to the smelting works together with their first name. So Peter Schmidt could be "Hütten Peter" in the church books. This happens frequently. Professions mentioned as working at the smelting works are *Hüttenknecht (farmhands at the smelting works) *Hüttenschreiber (clerks) *Schmelzer (smelter) *Garmacher (smelter who clean the brittle black copper from residues in another smelting process), also Garmeister (probably a master in this particular trade) *Vorläufer (?) *Rostscheider (?)

For example the last christening record in 1620 is from 30 Feb [sic!]. It's followed by a remark on a missing church book and thus missing entries. Next entry is from August 1621. In 1619, for example, there were 1-3 christenings a month. In 1622 there was a christening in average every second month. So there should be roughly between 8 and 17 entries missing in 1620/1621. There are no christenings recorded in 1636, which is odd. Between Feb 1640 and Mai 1643 again there are no entries. In 1646 again 16 entries are missing (here they are numbered). In general the readability of the handwriting and the diligence in keeping records is not always the best. Sometimes the order of the entries is completely wrong, sometimes names of godparents and other data is missing. Parsons generally did not give much information about the people they recorded. ===IGI Batch Numbers=== Allenbach Batch numbers for '''IGI''' *baptisms, 1617-1798, no.

      '''Amherst''' situated on Union River, 22 miles north-northeast of Ellsworth, and about midway of Hancock County. It is bounded on the north by Township No. 2, east by Aurora, south by Mariaville, and west by Clifton, in Penobscot County. Its territory is 6 miles square. It has several good water powers, improved by one saw, one clapboard, one grain, and two shingle mills. There is also a sole-leather tannery, using hides from South America and Mexico principally. The village is near the centre of the town. It is on the stage-lines from Ellsworth and Aurora to Bangor. The river divides the town diagonally into two nearly equal sections, the north-west and the south-east. The land on the east side of the river is favorable to orcharding ; but on the west, excepting intervals, the soil is granitic and the surface hilly. The principal hills are known as the Springy Brook Mountains. Near the Corner is a high ledge some acres in extent, thought to be porphyritic, and containing crystals of iron pyrites, with compact feldspar. Crystals of quartz are also found. There is some slate in the town. Amherst is remarkable for its improved domestic cattle ; and this is due mainly to the energy and enterprise of A. B. Buzzell, Esq. This town was a part of the Bingham purchase. It was set off from the plantation of Mariaville in 1822, and incorporated in 1831. Amherst N. H. is said to have been honored in the selection of its name. Settlement began about 1805. In that year Capt. Goodell Silsby came in, and in 1806-7 his parents came and took the lots now known as the " Old Silsby Place." Before 1808 closed there had come in, also, Mrs. Kimball, Asahel Foster, Jesse Gils, Joseph Day, Judah West, and Elisha Chick. Amherst has four public schoolhouses, valued at $425. The valuation of estates in 1870, was $57,276. In the valuation of 1880, it was $72,524. Rate of taxation, about 2 per cent. The population in 1870 was 350.

=== English === {{One Place Study|place=Andel, Noord-Brabant|category=Andel, Noord-Brabant, Nederland One Place Study}} This page describes the work on a "One Place Study" of the Dutch village of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andel,_Netherlands Andel], located next to the river Maas, nowadays in the province of Noord-Brabant. Before 1813 it was part of the province of South-Holland. Andel is divided in 2 parts, the part located upstream is called Op-Andel, the part located downstream is called Neer-Andel (or in older sources Uit-Andel). Both parts are centered around their own church. In local dialect the village is also known as Eyl or Ael, and this form can sometimes be found in older sources. Andel is located in an area known as "Het land van Altena" and is today part of the municipality of Altena. Following [[:Category:Andel%2C_Noord-Brabant%2C_Nederland_One_Place_Study|this link an alphabetical list of all people associated with this study]] can be found. === Nederlands (Dutch) === Deze pagina is bedoeld als een beschrijving van het werk aan de "One Place Study" van het dorp [https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andel_(Nederland) Andel], aan de Maas, tegenwoordig in de provincie Noord-Brabant. Voor 1813 maakte het deel uit van Zuid-Holland. Andel bestaat uit 2 delen, het deel stroomopwaards heet Op-Andel, het deel stroomafwaards Neer-Andel (in oude bronnen ook wel Uit-Andel). Beide delen hadden een eigen kerkgebouw. In het lokale dialect wordt het dorp ook wel Eyl of Ael genoemd, en deze vorm kan nu en dan wel voorkomen in oudere bronnen. Andel is gelegen in het gebied dat bekend staat als "Het land van Altena" en is tegenwoordig onderdeel van de gemeente Altena.

Mocht dat een probleem zijn, laat dan even een comment-bericht achter zodat een nederlandse vertaling toegevoegd kan worden. === Most important online sources === Major online sources are: * [http://salha.nl Steekarchief Langstraat Heusden en Altena]: this archive stores the main collection of sources for this village and provides searchable indexes for birth, baptism, marriage and death registers with links to scans of the originals. * [https://www.bhic.nl/het-geheugen-van-brabant Brabants Historisch Informatiecentrum] The provincial archive, providing online searchable index, but the results are not always linked to scans. * [https://www.wiewaswie.nl/ wie was wie website] provides an overall search tool for Dutch genealogical information.

A main source not (yet) available on the above websites are the "Huwelijksbijlagen". These are certified copies of older documents that couples needed to provide before they could get married. They are available between 1843-1922 and sometimes contain certified copies of pages from registers that are now lost. === Population === Total counts of the population of Andel can be found on the website [http://www.volkstellingen.nl/nl/index.html Volkstellingen 1795-1971]. Also a house taxation from 1731 is available listing all houses in the village For Andel the results are as follows: {| border="1" | Year || Population count || Houses || Remarks |- | 1731 || n.a. || 99 || Verpondingscohier 1731, see [https://www.nationaalarchief.nl/onderzoeken/archief/3.01.29/invnr/%401?query=3.01.29&search-type=inventory Nationaal archief, archive nr. 3.01.29, inv. nr. 508, chapter 23]).

For details see this dutch [https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heerlijkheid_(bestuursvorm) wikipedia] page. The list of lords and ladies of Andel since 1724 was as follows: {| border="1" | Start year || End year || Name || Remarks |- | 1724 || 1748 || [[Pus-14|Hendrik Pus (abt.1678-bef.1748)]] || He bought the right to be lord of Andel from "De staten van Holland en West-Vriesland" on 14-Apr-1724.

Since he was found to be "innocent", so incompetent to perform his duties, the lordship was in fact taken care of by his guardian [[Bartz-624|Reinier Godfried Bartz (bef.1722-1801)]], the husband of his cousin [[Melvill-167|Ida Martina Melvill (-1796)]]. |- | (t.b.c.) || || || |- | || || || |- | || || || |- | || || || |- |} === Study goal === Since the Dutch civil registration for this area started in 1812, this seems a good moment in time to take as a starting point. Especially since a census register for Andel dated 1812 is available (with some gaps) that can be used as guide for assigining families to this study. It is usually fairly easy to follow a line towards the future from this point in time, using the above mentioned online sources. Going back in time is often more difficult, but a fair number of sources survives that should make it possible to trace families back to 1700 or even a bit further. Scans for this 1812 census are available [https://salha.nl/bronnen/genealogy/bladeren-door-genealogische-bronnen/registers/32c07f7c-1519-11e1-b830-10595750e362 here] and a full transcription is available [http://home.kpn.nl/kloe0040/bronnen/Andel_BevReg_1812.pdf here]. The next list and its numbering is based on this 1812 census. Unfortunately this census is not complete. The first few pages have gone missing (persons numbered 1 up to 180) as well as the final page(s) (persons numbered above 381 if any). Therefore people that can be proven to have lived in Andel in 1812 but are not mentioned in this census will be added without number. Hopefully this list can be more or less completed by collecting profiles for people living in Andel in 1812. It is important to note that especially the birth dates mentioned in this census are notoriously unreliable and often deviate from the actual birth date (if known). Once this work is done, other census lists can be added. The [https://salha.nl/bronnen/genealogy/bladeren-door-genealogische-bronnen/registers/3437086c-1519-11e1-b830-10595750e362 next one] starts in 1826 and was maintained up to 1845. Disclaimer: this is a work in progress. Most of the mentioned families have not yet been completely added to wikitree, and the focus has been to find connections between them, and to add birth/baptism, marriage and death dates with proper sources. If you find additional familymembers for any of the mentioned profiles please feel free to add them your self. {| border="1" class="wikitable sortable" | Index || Profile || Transcript: name || birth date and location|| age || Family details || Profession |- | (161) || (page lost) || (page lost) || (page lost) || -

If you have any questions, just ask. Thanks! === Goals === This is a One Place Study to collect together in one place everything about Apache, Oklahoma, USA. The hope is that other researchers like you will join our study to help make it a valuable reference point for people studying lines that cross or intersect. ===Formed From=== Before opening the Kiowa, Comanche, and Apache Reservation on August 1, 1901, for unrestricted settlement by non-Indians, Land Lottery Director William A. Richards had recommended setting aside the land now occupied by Apache as a townsite. ===History/Timeline=== Land Lottery Director William A. Richards had expected the community would be named "Richards" in his honor. Instead, officials of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railway (Rock Island) named the community Apache. The reason they had such power was that they had the contract for surveying all the land within the district. The name "Apache" was selected to honor that tribe. A land run for lots in Apache was held on August 6, 1901. According to the Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture, five lumberyards and six saloons opened for business within hours after the run. A tent served as a market for groceries. There were some six to seven hundred residents. An election of the town's first city officials was held in an outdoor meeting on the evening of August 6, 1901. E. E. Blake was elected as mayor and F. E. Richey as city clerk. Appointed officials included I. F. Crow, city attorney, and Sam Wass, city marshal. Apache was incorporated on July 22, 1902. ====Government Offices==== *City Hall, 102 Evans Ave ===Geography=== Apache is located at 34°53′41″N 98°21′41″W (34.894638, -98.361371).[5] The town is 23 miles (37 km) north of Lawton, Oklahoma.[4] According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 2.0 square miles (5.2 km2), of which, 2.0 square miles (5.2 km2) of it is land and 0.49% is water. ===Surrounding Communities=== *Boone *Stecker *Cyril *Fletcher '''Lakes''' *Lake Ellsworth '''Major Highways''' *SH-62 *SH-19 '''Railroads''' ===Local Resources=== '''Agriculture''' Apache began as an agricultural center, with wheat and cattle as the primary products, and remains that to the present. ===Protected Areas=== ===Demographics=== As of the census of 2010, there were 1,444 people residing in the town.[1] The population density was 799.0 people per square mile (308.9/km²).

Other settlers followed, including two civil war veterans, A.W. Lathop and his brother W.V. Lathop. The Lathop brothers were the first to take advantage of the waterpower available in the area. In 1872 they built a flour mill on the banks of the Pomme de Terre. The W.J. Jennison Flour Mill, a descendent of the Lathop Flour Mill ran on the banks of the Pomme de Terre until late 1960’s. "As the area began to fill with settlers mostly Eastern Americans, Germans, and Scandinavians, a few of the men met and decided to organize and plot out a township call Phelps, after Addison Phelps. Phelps later requested the town’s name be changed to Appleton, in honor of the city he grew up in, Appleton, WI. On September 4, 1872 the township of Appleton was formed. A petition was sent to the state Senate and the House of State Legislature on December 25, 1880 asking for the formation of the Village of Appleton. The assessor reported the population at the time was 633. "As the town began to grow, schools and churches were established. The first one room schoolhouse was built and established in 1872. In 1880 with 71 pupils Appleton had already outgrown the one room schoolhouse. A much larger building was built. Twelve years later that was added onto. In 1904 a brick building was built to teach the seventh and eighth graders. In 1916, the 1880 building was torn down to make room for a new high school. In 1952, an addition was made to the 1916 building. The new addition included an auditorium. The school stayed in operation until 1992 when Appleton consolidated with two other schools in the area to create the Lac qui Parle Valley High School."

The ''First Statistical Account (1791)'' notes a decline in the population of Auchinleck, due in part to the Muirkirk Iron & Coal Tar Works and more especially to the cotton mill in Catrine which had attracted inhabitants from this parish.
The parish is also described as bare, unproductive, bleak moss and moor land, though productive in coal.

He likely built the first castle as the family home which is near the present House. In 1504, Thomas Boswell (1483-1513) applied for and was granted the former Auchinleck estate of 24,000 acres. Thomas thereafter assumed a new title of 1st Laird of Auchinleck. In 1760, Alexander Boswell 8th Laird of Auchinleck (1707-1782) built the present Auchinleck House. His son James Boswell 9th Laird of Auchinleck (1740-1795) lived in Auchinleck House as well. During World War II the house was used to lodge troops. After the war, the house presumably was occupied again by the Boswells of Garallan who abused the property and that began a long period of decline. During the 1970s and 1980s the building deteriorated and in 1986, the house was acquired with 35 acres of land by the Scottish Historic Buildings Trust (SHBT) from a distant relation named James Boswell (birth and death dates unknown). In 1999 the SHBT turned to the Landmark Trust as keepers of the estate who then appointed Simpson & Brown of Edinburgh as architects to restore the property. ''Note: With the many Auchinleck and Boswell family members that came and went in history, most were never associated with the current Auchinleck House. The house is a true gem on the Scottish countryside that deserves to be seen, but the family's also need to be recognised in this profile to provide the overall experience of their role as well.'' === The Auchinleck and Boswell Families === With the exception of the Boswell 8th - 11th Lairds, most members of the Boswell family had no involvement in the present day Auchinleck House, but the main known members of these family's are included in this profile as a genealogical reference only, as well as the Auchinleck's.

Built of ashlar (cut stone) to plans of the 8th Laird by master wright John Johnson of Edinburgh. The house is two stories high. In the pediment (extreme top of the house at the roof line as viewed at the front), there is a carved Latin epigram by Horace (Quintus Horatius Flaccus) (65BC-8BC) which translate to "What you seek is here in this remote place if you can only keep a balanced disposition". Between 1758 and 1760 a window tax was paid on the house for each of the thirty-one windows. === Interior Highlights === Scottish Historic Building Trust; https://www.shbt.org.ukSimpson and Brown; https://www.simpsonandbrown.co.uk Inside, the floor plan remains essentially unchanged since the time the house was built in 1760. The first floor consists of bedrooms featuring period furniture, and a large library which contains bookshelves, a fireplace , and writing desk. The dining room has a table which can seat up to 14, a unique rounded alcove built into the wall, and of course a fireplace as well. Of course there are many pictures of the lairds throughout the house. A 1999 restoration focused on reinstating interior finishes. Restoration included large areas of new lime plasterwork, cornicing and plaster enrichments, and the painstaking repair and refitting of existing joinery and fireplaces by Simpson and Brown Architects of Edinburgh. === Points of Interest - Estate === Auchinleck House; http://rs41.org The single Gothic arch bridge across the Dippol Burn, on whose picturesque banks are the estate ice-house and grotto.

The first funeral was for five-year-old August Wilhelm Hult, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Otto Hult. :The church was founded on 5 June 1860 as the Swedish Lutheran Church of Baillytown. It became part of the Augustana Synod. Rev. Andreas Andreen was the first resident pastor. In 1862, C. G. Johnson donated land for the church parsonage. In 1864, a new 46' x 28' frame building was dedicated on one acre donated by John Johnson on what is now Beam Street and Mineral Springs Road. The contractor was [[Borg-283|John Borg]]. :The cemetery was founded in 1878 to serve members of the church. It is located on the east side of Mineral Springs Road (also known as 100 West) and south of West Beam Street in Porter, Indiana [southwest quarter of the northwest quarter of Section 35], south of and adjacent to the Augsburg Evangelical Lutheran Church. :In 1882, Frederick Burstrom gave the church his old 12x15 small barn built around 1864 and moved it across the road on land owned by John P. Johnson. It was called Svenska Skola (later Burstrom Chapel). It was used as a Swedish school from 1880-1885 and was accredited for grades 1-3 by the Indiana Department of Public Education. It was used as a Swedish language and culture school for six weeks in the summer from 1885-1928. :In 1900, a new brick church was built at Mineral Springs Road & Beam Street. It was dedicated in November 1901. Bishop von Scheele of Sweden, a representative of [[Bernadotte-38|King Oscar II of Sweden]], attended the dedication.

In 1205 Ayr was named a Royal Burgh by way of a Royal Charter granted by Scottish King William The Lion (1142-1214). The people of the Burgh decided that they needed a Kirk to go along with the title, so they proceeded to build one on the sand dune near the shore, and named it St. John the Baptist Kirk, aka the Burgh Kirk. It was a success until English General Oliver Cromwell came along in 1652 to build a large citadel which forced the Kirk to relocate to another area. The newer and present Auld Kirk of Ayr, aka St. John the Baptist Kirk is the product of that relocation. ===History=== Corbett, R.Y. Historical Guide to Ayr and Prestwick, no date, Printer: Hugh Henry Ltd, Ayr To understand the history of the present Kirk, it is necessary to explain a reference summary of the original Burgh Kirk first which has a great history to it as well. '''(Original) Burgh Kirk of St. John the Baptist''' c.1233 The Norman style Burgh Kirk was a large wooden structure, cruciform in plan (shape of a cross as viewed in plan view), oriented West to East, and was built sometime at the end of the 1100's or early 1200's, but was not completed until 1233 and noted in a town charter which authorized the Kirk to establish a 'Sang Schule of Air' (a choir school for boys in Ayr), which eventually became the Ayr Academy. A bell tower in stone and was added later. The Kirk's front entrance would have extended out into the today's Bruce Crescent and maybe Citadel Place as well. Robert the Bruce met here with the Scottish Parliament in 1315. The Kirk was Roman catholic until the mid 1500's when John Knox led the Reformation of Scotland and preached here in 1547 and on numerous other occasions as well. In 1560, St. John's became a Protestant Kirk under an act of parliament. In 1563, Mary Queen of Scots slept here for one night on her way to Glenluce. When English General Oliver Cromwell came to the region in 1651, he decided that Ayr was a good strategic site for a large citadel and proceeded with his plan to build in 1652. The plan however was to include the only existing structures within its wall's perimeter, and that was the Burgh Kirk and tower. The tower was a perfect ready made lookout for his troops to watch out for approaching enemies. The good people of the Kirk wanted no part of this plan and decided to take Cromwell's offer of 1000 Merks (600 Pounds Sterling) to relocate to another site. The citadels commander, Colonel Matthew Alured signed the official 'Deed of Gift' and the Kirk doors were closed by the Rev. William Adair therefore starting a new chapter of the Kirk history. Until the new Kirk was built. they used the grammer school on the Sandgate as a temporary house of worship. The citadel ended up having a short life span and was abandoned when the Scots took control of the land, and the citadel was demolished in 1660. Even after it closed, the Burgh Kirk was used by some parishioners between 1687-1688, then it sat empty for about forty years before its condition required demolishing. The stone tower was left intact and still stands today with its adjoining graveyard in a quiet residential area of Ayr. '''(New and Current) Auld Kirk of Ayr of St. John the Baptist''' c.1654 The new Kirk site chosen was over by the River Ayr in a quiet spot previously occupied by the Franciscan friary dating back to 1472. By the time the (new) Auld Kirk was built in 1654 no vestiges of the friary remained. Grey Friars Monastery, chapel and gardens occupied the site by the Franciscan Order from 1472 until 1560. The (new) Auld Kirk was thought out without an architect in cruciform plan by Rev. William Adair (last minister of the (old) Burgh Kirk, and soon to be the first minister of the new Kirk), Theophilas Rankeine (town Burgess), John Masoun (mason), and John Smith (mason from Kilmaurs). A contract to build was signed on June 16, 1653 with a cost of 20,827 Pounds Scots (1,733 Pounds Sterling). With the front money from Cromwell, the townsfolk made up the difference in costs. Read details below in the Auld Kirk of Ayr heading. === Auld Kirk of Ayr === Love, Dane, Ayrshire, Discovering a County, 2003, Fort publishingHES; http://portal.historicenvironment.scotCorbett, R.Y. Historical Guide to Ayr and Prestwick, no date, Printer: Hugh Henry Ltd, AyrAuld Kirk; https://www.auldkirk.org '''Exterior''' The (new) Auld Kirk was started in 1654 and completed in 1656 is accessed via the Kirkport (Lane) off the High Street. At the top of the lane is 'Lychgate', an arched stone entrance which was built in 1656. At this entrance are two examples of 'Mort-Safes' on display which were used to protect graves from robbery. This archway leads to the Kirk graveyard and Kirk beyond. The Kirk is a combination of odd shaped rubble sandstone (likely original 1654) and also of cut sandstone blocks, (likely the 1933 addition) all laid horizontally. The Kirk was modified and updated as follows: 1836 alterations by David Bryce (including replacement ceiling, dormers renewed and doubled in number), general renovation 1864, refurnished 1887, addition and alterations 1933, general renovation 1952. The graveyard is filled to capacity with hundreds of graves and markers. Along the North wall is memorials and markers of those long departed. See also Gravesite heading below. '''Interior''' The interior is a quiet place away from the outside world just feet away on the High Street. It features timber roof beams, pews, (box pew to East) and church furniture (predominantly late 19th century), bow-fronted paneled pulpit with sounding board (rebuilt). The Kirk can seat 900 people. William Burnes (the poet's father) served as an Elder here and also held the post of Presbytery Elder. Robert Burns worshiped here as well for 17 years. The Burns family likely sat near where the bronze statuette of the poet now stands. It was in The Auld Kirk as a child that Robert Burns learned to worship God, reinforcing his Elder father's teaching at home. '''Chancel Area''' The ceiling originally featured a 'hessian fabric' (Jute plant woven material) and was later changed to wood. The huge roof beams were cut and shaped without modern tools but using 'adze' (similar to an ax with a sharp flat cutting surface) like tools, oak nails, and slates secured by wooden pegs. It is accessible from the Merchants' loft. The organ loft was originally behind the pulpit. The full pipe organ was controlled electrically. The militia flags displayed are those of local regiments (Ayrshire Yeomanry, Royal Scots Fusiliers). '''Communion table''' Dedicated at the Kirk's Tercentenary (300 hundred years in 1954) contains panels from (old) Church of St John . '''Front of Pulpit and facing doorway''' On immediate left is a tablet for 7th centenary of Ayr Academy in 1933; Glass case containing Deed of Gift letter(see below) from Colonel Alured; Fastl plaque (memorial to Rev Gillieson) (which lists all ministers of Auld Kirk (Second Charge and First). '''THE DEED OF GIFT''' (as written - note spelling) "I do hereby testify that Major General Deane did promise unto ye Burrough of Ayre the soume of one thousand markes sterlinge money towards ye buildinge of a church in that Towne, by reason that theire former church was employed for ye publique, and did give me order to pay 200 lib upon laying the foundacon one foote above ground, and 200 lib when it was halfe built, and the remaynder when it was finished. In testimony whereof I have here unto sett my hand this first day of August 1654". MATTHEW ALURED "I have perused the promise and doe know and agrea to accept of ye same to be true". (Commanding Officer at the Cromwell Citadel, Ayr). '''Pulpit''' Has canopy, which acts as sounding-board (necessary before microphones), and lower pulpit for Reader (was rescued from contractor's yard). The pulpit was restored in 1952 and became the church's Second World War Memorial. '''Pulpit Wall''' 'Obiit' Board - records bequests to help poor of the town; "Amamanite" Memorial (weeping over lost ashes of husband); cross above pulpit donated by Women's Guild. '''Merchant's Loft to North''' The door half-way up stairs to the loft contained a 'sneck-man' who was appointed to prevent children rattling it during services and throwing stones into doorway; John Welch statue (on loan) - minister 1600-02; merchants sat here on Sundays and met here on Mondays as Town Council. Front pew is still reserved for Council for their annual Kirkin' and on Remembrance Sunday. '''Sailor's Loft to East''' A model of ship Arethusa (42-gun ship, 21 ports on each side) suspended from ceiling is successor to a model of a barque given by French sailors in 1662 in thanks for help the folk's of Ayr gave after they were shipwrecked in Ayr bay. Visiting sailors used to sit in this loft. One window of modern glass showing Christ on Waves, another (Garallan window) of stain (not painted) glass. '''Trades' Loft to West''' Access from outside only. Various trades of town life sat here. Chairman of Trades Council sat in centre. Shields at lower edge of the loft's front panels represent trades, eg: fleshmen, bakers, carpenters, etc. '''Under Trades' loft''' The Boys Brigade window (2nd Ayr Company) was given at their centenary. Memorial tablet to Ayr Doctor Eric D Gairdner, military surgeon, holder of Croix de Guerre and Distinguished Service Order (DSO). Modern Flaming Window (Burning Bush is symbol of Church of Scotland) - Dittany plant (see Exodus 3 v3) - note also motto (Latin) 'nec tamen consumebatur' : 'burning but not consumed' - cross incorporates pillar of window. Cairns Duncan window - memorial to previous minister (1886-1926) who set up Clog fund for barefoot children and went round pubs collecting - includes Auld Kirk at bottom left, Christ as child, St Cecilia, Arran hills, New Jerusalem and Burning Bush; also memorial to Lt Col William Smith and others. Box pews, once occupied by Session Clerk. Robert Burns pew and Burns statue (replica of one in Burns Statue Sq.). '''John Welch Window''' To the East of pulpit - for Welch (son-in-law of John Knox). Ayr in 1600-1604 was wild town, he often separated warring factions on streets, provided meal and restored peace. Within the church and a common feature of the post-Reformation period, but with many now sadly destroyed, is the black and gold Benefaction Board, renewed circa 1792 recording the gift in 1708 of the poor of the parish from an Alderman Smithe of Londonderry. === Gravesites === Love, Dane, Ayrshire, Discovering a County, 2003, Fort publishingGeni; https://www.geni.comFamily Search; https://www.familysearch.org/ Wikipedia; https://en.wikipedia.orgUndiscovered Scotland; https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/usbiography/k/johnknox.htmlLuminarium Project; http://www.luminarium.org/encyclopedia/knox.htmTudor Times; https://tudortimes.co.uk/guest-articles/john-knox-ladies-manOxford Dictionary; https://www.oxforddnb.comScotland's People; https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.ukDictionary of Indian Biography; https://archive.orgIWM - War Memorials Registry; https://www.iwm.org.ukPeople Pill; https://peoplepill.comVoicemap; https://voicemap.meFandom; https://familypedia.fandom.comFind a Grave; https://www.findagrave.com/ '''''Notable persons buried in the (new) Auld Kirk Graveyard'':''' '''The Seven Martyrs of the Covenant''' Resting Place: Auld Kirk Graveyard These men were captured at the Battle of Rullion Green in 1666 are memorialized in a single headstone.

      '''Aurora''' is situated on a branch of Union River, in the northern part of Hancock county. It is on the " Air Line " road, 24 miles from Ellsworth, and 25 from Bangor. The territory is six miles square, giving an area of 23,040 square miles. Its soil is a gravelly loam, and can be worked earlier in the spring than than that of any other town on Union River. Wheat is the principal crop. The prevailing rock is a coarse granite, which is decomposed by infiltration, and is used to "gravel" the highways. Spruce Mountain is the greatest eminence. In the eastern part of the town is one of those alluvial ridges known as "horsebacks," bearing the name of Whale's Back. The " Air Line " road passes over it for a distance of 3£ miles. The longest bridge in town—100 feet—is of stone. The roads run over the hardwood hills, which were principally occupied by the first settlers, and afford pleasant views. The woods are generally of pine, spruce and hemlock. The " Middle Branch Ponds " are about a mile in length by half a mile in width. Aurora was one of the "Lottery Townships," and was organized as Plantation No. 27 in 1822, and incorporated as a town in 1831. Its name is from the mythological name for morning. Its first settlers were four brothers, Samuel, Benjamin, David and Roswell Silsby, who took up their abode in the township in 1805. Aurora furnished 27 soldiers in the war for the Union, paying bounties to the amount of $1,983. There are two public schoolhouses, one of which is of brick ; both having the value of $600. The valuation of estates in 1870 was $32,052. In 1880, it is $41,953. The rate of taxation in the latter year was 19 mills on the dollar. The population in 1870 was 212. In the census of 1880, it was 218. ==Additional Resources== * [https://www.mainegenealogy.net/individual_place_record.asp?place=aurora Maine Genealogy Net] Aurora https://maineanencyclopedia.com/aurora/ ==Photos== {| Border = ''1''; text align = center |+ Photo Gallery ! style="width: 300px;" | ! style="width: 300px;" | ! style="width: 300px;" | |- == Sources == * Varney, George J. 1886.

Notable landmarks seaward are the Isle of Arran, and Ailsa Craig (aka Paddy's Milestone). Alloway to the east, Newton-On-Ayr to the north and Wallacetown to the northeast are all considered suburbs of Ayr, but for this study on Ayr, the suburbs have been purposely separated due to their individual characteristics. Originally Ayr was named 'Inverayr' but at some point the name was shortened to become 'Ayr'. Ayr is steeped in history with several famous names appearing in time that helped shape this wonderful area. Ayr is and always was considered a market town. === Population === City Population - UK; https://www.citypopulation.de/en/uk/scotland/south_ayrshire Ayr (2020) 46,480 / (1951) 44,019 / (1790) 4,647 / (1755) 2,964 Alloway (2020) 4,245 Newton-On-Ayr (not available) Wallacetown (2020) 4,620 Whitletts ((not available) === Geology === Natural Environment Research Council; Open Research Archive; http://nora.nerc.uk This account of the geology of the Ayr district, in the south-west of the Midland Valley of Scotland, covers the area from around Monkton in the north, to Dailly in the south. The description of the bedrock geology includes field observations recorded up to 2002, together with earlier published and unpublished work on the area. The Quaternary section updates field records and reviews earlier published work. The district covers the growing town and administrative centre of Ayr and its neighbour Prestwick, extending south into rural farmland and scenic hill country. Farther south is the market town of Maybole and the former coalfield around Dailly. It also covers some dramatic coastal scenery and sweeping bays, with tourist attractions stretching from the golf courses south of Troon, past the ruined castles of Greenan and Dunure, to Culzean Castle overlooking Culzean Bay and onto Maidens and Turnberry. The bulk of the rocks are sedimentary and Palaeozoic in age, with a succession extending from Ordovician to early Permian, punctuated by several volcanic and intrusive igneous episodes. In Mid Ordovician times, about 470 Ma ago, the district lay close to the southern edge of the Laurentian continent. Oceanic crust was thrust up when a volcanic arc collided with the microcontinental segment that formed the Midland Valley Terrane as it docked against Laurentia. Upper Ordovician to lower Silurian sediments were deposited in a forearc basin on the southern margin of this terrane and were deformed as the Southern Uplands accretionary prism was pushed up from the south during the Caledonian Orogeny. The Lanark Group was later deposited, in Siluro-Devonian times, in a sequence of sandstones and conglomerates lain down in a semi-arid environment, prior to the Early Devonian calc-alkaline magmatic event which produced shallow intrusions and eruptions of predominantly basaltic andesite. By Mid Devonian times the Lanark Group had been weakly deformed and uplifted as a far-field effect of the late stage Acadian deformation event. === Ayr === Carnegie Library of Ayr; History DepartmentCorbett, R.Y., Historical Guide - Ayr, Prestwick and District, 1965Kennedy, R & J, Old Ayr,1992Ayr History Booklet; http://www.ayrhistory.com, No Author, No date,Ayr Burgh Accounts, March 4, 1539South Ayrshire History; http://www.southayrshirehistory.worldpress.comHistoric Ayrshire; http://www.historicayrshire.co.ukUndiscovered Scotland; http://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.ukBrash, Ronald W.''Round Old Ayr'', 1972Personal Visit By Stuart M.

William had traveled through Ayrshire in the late 1100's looking for a place to call home. In 1197 he built 'Ayr Castle' just south of the harbour and east of the beach in what would be today the area behind the former Ayr Academy. The castle sat high on a mound of dirt and was made of wood. From a 1480 ordinance map it indicates that the castle was of a triangular shape with two small towers and a larger main tower at the front gate facing the River Ayr. There are no known pictures of it but it is believed that it resembles the castle depicted on the Royal Seal of the Burgh of Ayr from 1205.. Fishing and farming spurred on the towns growth going forward. The area also saw the birth of a new Kirk (church) near Ayr castle and its name was to be St. John's Kirk, named after St. John the Baptist, the Patron Saint of Ayr, aka the Burgh Kirk. It was likely built in the early 1200's and made of wood just like the castle itself and likely built under the direction of William the Lion as well. A tower of stone was added later in the 1300's which still exists today even though the Kirk itself is long gone. Robert I (aka Robert the Bruce) later held parliament in the Kirk in 1315. William the Lion's family members inherited the throne until 1290 at which time Scotland was without a King. In 1292 Scotland was under English domination, King Edward I of England selected Frenchman John Balliol (1250-1313) (aka 'Toom Tabar' or 'Empty Coat') as King of Scotland which did not work out to well. He was basically a weak king. The War of Independence (1296-1305) was under way and Edward I invaded Scotland in 1296 and defeated Balliol at the Battle of Dunbar, arrested him and took him to a London prison. Balliol was eventually exiled back to France. During this war the English occupied Ayr Castle when William Wallace (1270-1305), self proclaimed leader of the Scots came on the scene to lead the resistance against the English by defeating their army at the 'Battle of Stirling Bridge' in 1297. In the same year he burned down their barracks in Ayr with the troops inside. This is known as 'The Barns of Ayr'. If that was not enough he also set fire to Ayr Castle. William became Sir William after being knighted (not known by whom) in the early 1300's and assumed the proper title of Guardian of the Kingdom. In 1305 William was betrayed by friend Sir John Mentieth (1275-1323), captured by the English in Robroyston (now part of Glasgow) and taken to London where he was tortured and eventually died a horrible death. Upon William's death, up and coming Robert the Bruce (1274-1329) (born at Turnberry Castle down the coast) became the leader of the Scots and burned down Ayr Castle for real in 1305 in attempts to force the English out. This attempt failed and the English rebuilt and occupied the castle until 1306 when Robert the Bruce became Robert I, the King of Scotland. Robert later went on to defeat English King Edward II and his army at 'The battle of Bannockburn' in 1314. Robert remained King of Scotland until his death in 1329 when his son became King David II at only five years old. In these old days Ayr was a closed town surrounded by a stone dyke. There were seven entry points (Ports) around the dykes perimeter (Brig Port, Cow Port, Kirk Port, Kyle Port, Over Port, Sandgate Port, and Sea Port) with the main entrance (Brig Port) from the north over the River Ayr on the 'Auld Brig'. The visitor would be stopped at what was known as ' Laigh Tolbooth' which was not just a guard collecting tolls but was actually a building that also served as a prison. Legend has it that William Wallace once came to this point and could not or would not pay the toll and he was confined to the prison for some time. Visitors to Ayr having paid a toll to enter the town would now be in the area which is the High Street of today. This area was known as "Fish Cross', a marketplace where visitors would come to sell their fish and vegetables. After the death of King Robert I in 1329 Scotland was ruled by various Kings throughout the coming centuries until 1650 when the English returned to Scotland this time under the leadership of English General Oliver Cromwell (1599-1658). England was involved in a civil war that had spread into Scotland. In 1652 with Ayr Castle in ruins, Cromwell ordered that a large citadel (fort) with a main gate on the east side, be built in generally the same area as the castle with a centre point at what would be Eglinton Terrace today. Cromwell chose this location because the sea and the river provided protection from both the north and west. This area also included St. John's Kirk and adjoining tower which Cromwell wanted for storage and paid one thousands Merks (silver coin) towards building a new Kirk somewhere else away from his fort. Commanding Officer matthew Alured signed the documents and the Kirk closed its doors. A new Kirk would be built over by the River Ayr. The citadel itself was designed by Swedish military architect Hans Ewald Tessin who came to Scotland, became a Freemason, but then took up the cause of the English. The citadel was considered to be a symmetrical elongated hexagon with a bastion (turret) at each of the six points (corners), and was made of stone which was transported by sea from Ardrossan Castle (owned by the Earl of Eglinton). It encompassed about 16 acres in size, and was considered a fortified garrison which accommodated 1200 officers and men in reasonable comfort and safety. Internally it had a parade ground surrounded by numerous barracks. Once Cromwell got rid of St. John's Kirk he turned it into an armoury to store weapons. A moat was built along the land sides east and south to protect against enemy attack. Following the death of Cromwell in 1658 and the restoration of the Monarchy under Scottish King Charles II Stuart, the citadel was demilitarised and demolished in 1660 and the land and any remnants thereof were gifted by the Crown to the Earl of Eglinton (likely the 7th) as a Burgh of Regality. He named it Mongomeriestoun after his family name. Parts of the citadels fourteen foot high wall can still be seen today along South Harbour Street as well as adjacent to the leisure centre next door to the west. A replica cannon and commemorative plaque are also located along this wall adjacent to the leisure centre. The top part of the main gate and a plaque can be seen on Academy Lane off Citadel Place between Montgomerie Terrace and Fort Street. During the Covenanting times of the late 1600's England's Charles II was pushing the Episcopal religion on Scotland. Most Scots Presbyterian ministers were resistant against England's authority, and those that would not convert to episcopacy were removed from their jobs and Episcopal ministers (aka Curates) were installed in their place. As more resistance grew among all Scots, the bloodshed became more common in the battles with the soldiers of the Crown all over Scotland. Many Covenanters were hunted done and sentenced to death. In Ayr, the hangman refused to do his job, the Crown enlisted one of the Covenanters (Cornelius Anderson) to do the deed, which he did. After hanging and mutilation, their bodies were buried in the old churchyard of Ayr. Many more executions took place all over Scotland during this period of time. When William and Mary became the Crown's monarchs in 1688, religious freedom returned to Scotland. Many Scots died for their beliefs in this terrible time in history, but in the end the Scots prevailed. In 1707 'The Act of the Union' was passed and Scotland, England, and Wales collectively became the United Kingdom. Scotland was free to trade with the world and embarked on free trade with America and the West Indies. Commodities of the era were Tobacco, Cotton, Sugar, and also Slave Trading. === Slave Ownership By Scots === Black Lives Matter - 2022; https://www.blackhistorymonth.org.ukOur Stories - Falkirk; http://www.ourstoriesfalkirk.com There were numerous Scots that owned or were involved with plantations in the West Indies and or trading goods. Scots of wealth at this time often were able to buy a slave or two and bring them to Scotland as servants. Men and boys were of more useful around the Scots estates than girls. These slaves ended up having a much better life than their counterparts back on the plantations. Their new owners gave them an education and in return, the slave(s) were expected to become Christians by way of baptism. In Ayr, Robert and John Hamilton owned 2 plantations in Jamaica. Alloway's Poet Robert Burns was considering a position as a book-keeper in a plantation before poetry revived his fortunes. Who knows what his legacy would have been if he had done so. Scotsman James Watt and his entire family also was implicated in the slave trade between Britain and the USA, but also sold steam engines to plantation owners in the West Indies where slavery abounded. As a side note, the Kennedy's of Dunure were also known to employe a slaved servant named 'Scipio'. The owning of personal slaves was banned in Scotland in 1778, years before abolition of the trade. But in 1796, Scots owned nearly 30 per cent of the estates in Jamaica and by 1817, a staggering 32 per cent of the slaves. But Scots too played a huge role in winning the slaves their freedom as well. In 1792, the year that produced the most petitions for abolition. There were 561 petitions from Britain – a third of which came from Scotland. In 1807, the slave trade in British Colonies became illegal and British ships were no longer allowed to carry slaves. However, complete abolition of slavery did not come until 1833. The Glasgow Anti-Slavery Society was formed in 1822 and the city was known as one of the staunchest abolitionist cities in Britain. === Landmarks of Ayr === '''Auld Brig''' c. 1230 Location: Old Bridge Street and High Street, Ayr The original Auld Brig was made of wooden timbers around 1230. It was rebuilt in 1588 and restored between 1907 and 1910 for the sum of 10,000 British Pounds. It remains today as a foot bridge between Newton-On-Ayr and Ayr's High Street. '''Auld Kirk''' c.1200's, aka St. John the Baptist and St. Johns Tower; aka Burgh Kirk Location: Eglinton Terrace and Bruce Crescent This was the site of the original wooden Kirk of St. John the Baptist. In 1560 the Reformation made catholic worship illegal in Scotland which lead to St. John's being used as a Protestant Kirk. A stone tower was built (c. 1300's) which survived through the centuries. In 1854 John watson Miller (See Notable People heading) purchased the tower and the land around it. In 1914 it was purchased by the Marquess of Bute. In 1949 the Ayr Town Council acquired the tower and has retained it on site. The surrounding graveyard has the grave of Elizabeth Knox, daughter of John Knox and wife of minister John Welsh. Legend also has it that there is also the grave of Maggie Osborne, the local witch (See Notable People heading). '''Auld Kirk''' c.1654 (aka The (New) Auld Kirk of St. John The Baptist) Location: The Kirkport at #112-116 High Street, Ayr The Kirk was thought out by Rev. William Adair (last minister of the Burgh Kirk, and soon to be the first minister of the new Kirk), and Theophilas Rankeine (town Burgess). It was built by mason John Masoun, and mason John Smith from Kilmaurs) of Kilmaurs. This Kirk was built in Cruciform (shape of a cross in plan view) as a replacement for the original St John the Baptist Kirk off Bruce Crescent and Eglinton Place which was displaced by Cromwell's Citadel. The (new) Kirk was built on land formerly occupied by Francisca Friars around 1560 (aka Grey Friars Monastery. Cost to build was 20,827 British Pounds (1,733 Pounds Sterling). Cromwell pledged 1,000 Merks (Silver Coins) towards the new Kirk. The Kirk was restored in 1836 by architect David Bryce (1803-1876). '''Ayr Academy''' c.,1796 (now Grammar School of Ayr) Location: Fort Street, Ayr Originally the town's 'Grammar Schule of Air' was present in the area of #4 Sandgate and dates back to 1233. In 1502 it became the 'Burgh Schule' and later back to 'Grammar Schule'. In 1796 a shift of the way schools were defined and in pursuit of a higher level of matriculation, the Grammar Schule became Ayr Academy. In 1800 a new building was completed on Fort street. This site became the new home of Ayr Academy. That building was torn down and rebuilt in 1880. Three stone head sculptures were placed above the Rectors office, these being David Wilkie (Painter), James Watt (Engineer), and Robert Burns (Poet), all of which represent the fields of Art, Science, and Literature. Ayr Academy vacated this building in 2018 when a new academy was built on the Craigie Estate to the Northeast, and the building on Fort street became once again the (new) Grammar School of Ayr in 2020. The Academy was designed in the Grecian style by architects Clarke and bell. '''Ayr Lighthouse''' c.1841 Location: Esplanade end Designed by Robert Paton. '''Ayr Pavilion''' c.1911 Location: Low green across from the beach (now 'Pirate Pete's), Ayr This building now 'Pirate Pete's, an entertainment venue. Nicknames include 'The Piv' and 'The White Elephant by the Sea'. The front balusters came from the first new brig when it was demolished. '''Bust of Sir William Wallace''' c.1810 Location: Newmarket Street, Ayr A bust of Sir William sits above the first store front. Local merchant Henry Cowan paid his own money to have the statue made. '''Burn's Statue Square''' c.1891 Location: Killnoch Street and the A70, Ayr The green space proudly displays a statue of Scotland's National Poet Robert Burns. Affectionately named 'Rabbie Burns' he is facing South towards his birthplace of Alloway. Ornate ironwork that used to surround the square was removed during WWII for the war effort. A statue of a solder is also located here as a memorial to the Royal Scots Fusiliers who died in various campaigns from 1877-1902. Most died from diseases rather than battle. The sculpture was designed by George A. Lawson, and the base design was by James A. Morris. '''Fish Cross''' c.1539 Location: 45-45 High Street, Ayr While no longer visible, the location on High Street does have a plaque on the wall denoting its location. There is also a statue of a fisherman by Malcolm Robertson nearby which symbolizes the market town location where local folk sold their fish and vegetables. '''Loudoun Hall''' c.1513 Location: Fort Street and South Harbour Street, Ayr It's the oldest building currently in Ayr and was built by James Tait. It served as residence to the many Sheriffs of Ayr through the years. in 1539 it was sold to Sir Hugh Campbell who was Sheriff at that time. Sir Hugh died without a male heir (women could not be Sheriff) and the hall was sold to the Crown for 14,000 Merks (silver coins). In 1632 the hall was sold to James Chalmers. It continued to have many owners until 1938 when it was bought by Rev. Archibald MacKenzie who conveyed it to the Marques of Bute. The Marques restored it and his son Lord David Stuart later presented it to the Saltire Society. Originally Loudoun Hall had three bedrooms and vaulted ceilings on the ground floor, the main hall on the second floor, and attic space on the third. The wall were three feet thick which provided good insulation in both winter and summer. A wing had been added in 1534 by the Campbell's which was demolished sometime after WWII. The hall itself had no running water in the old days, only an outside well. The balcony's were used to discard the rubbish and also used as a toilet. '''Low Green''' c.16th Century Location: Seaside along the esplanade. It's 31 acres has been used for many different events through the centuries, such as football field, music events, picnic area, demonstrations, meetings, and an airfield for the Royal Flying Corps. '''Malt-Cross - Mercat (market) Cross''' c.1662 Location: High Street and Sandgate (New Bridge Street - Town Hall) The Malt-Cross was where hangings and executions took place. The only indication of its location today is the plaque on the wall of the town hall, as wll as a stone cross in the middle of the intersection. It is said that the witch Maggie Osborne was burned here at the cross. The actual cross was removed around 1778 to allow street widening for the new brig. '''Millers Folly''' c.1850's Location: South Harbour Street, Ayr Part of the Cromwell's citadel wall can still be seen today. The wall had one remaining bastion on it when Baron John Watson Miller bought the citadel property. He proceeded to add an extension which was not a true configuration of the late sixteen century. This is known as 'Miller's Folly' today. '''Mort-Safes''' c.1800's Location: Kirkport of High Street In the early 1800's the medical schools in Edinburgh and Glasgow were in short supply of recently deceased bodies for medical studies. This lead to the term 'Bodysnatching' where as 'Resurrectionists' would dig up graves of the recently departed and sell them to the schools. This lead to the invention of 'Mort-Safes' to keep the recently departed from being tampered with for at least five weeks until decay. Mort-safes came in various configurations such as cages, heavy iron or stone slabs and vaults. Mortsafes can still be seen in Ayr at the entrance to St. John's Kirk which are embedded in the walls at the entryway to the Kirk grounds. '''New Brig''' Original bridge c. 1788, second bridge c.1878 Location: South Harbour Street and New Bridge Street, Ayr The original New Brig was built in 1788 by Alexander Stevens to a design by Robert Adam. It was demolished and rebuilt in red sandstone in 1878 by Blyth and Cunningham engineers. Today it serves car and foot traffic from Newton-On-Ayr on the north side of the River Ayr to the town of Ayr on the south side. '''St. John's Tower''' c.1500's Location: 6 Eglinton Terrace, Ayr, Scotland The wooden St. John the Baptist Kirk was built around the late 1100's. The tower, built of stone later as part Kirk and was likely used as the bell tower. Both were taken over by Oliver Cromwell when he built his citadel nearby in 1562. The fort garrison divided up the church building for use as a chapel, a mill house and a storehouse, and the tower was used as an armoury and look-out. The good people of Ayr Burgh likely decided that being part of an English fort was not what they wanted, and they decided to look elsewhere for a new Kirk location. As luck would have it, Cromwell was willing to get rid of the Scots off the site and offered 1000 Merks (about 600 Pounds Sterling) toward the Kirks new home. They took the offer and found property over by the River Ayr. After the Scots were back in power about year 1660, the citadel was dismantled along with the old wooden Kirk and the land and any remaining structures was gifted by the crown to the 7th Earl of Eglinton who named the property 'Mongomeriestoun' after his family name. He had a plan for a new separate town which never developed. And while the property changed hands within the family Mongomerie, it remained somewhat an empty site except for the tower for almost the next two hundred years. It is likely that the 13th Earl of Eglinton had had enough of the property and put in the hands of an auction house in the mid 1800's. Wealthy John Watson Miller returned to Ayr from India in 1852 and felt he was in a good position to buy some property when he learned that the Barony of Mongomeriestoun was to be auctioned off in Edinburgh and he set out to purchase it. He arrived too late in Edinburgh for the actual auction but finding that no one had purchased the property, he made a bid of 2,560 Pounds Sterling which was readily accepted, and he bought the property of the former citadel, aka the Barony of Montgomerieston (ownership of land). He thought of himself as a great land owner and proceeded to call himself Baron Miller going forward, even though he was not really a 'Baron' as we know it. The Kirk was long gone but the stone tower remained. Miller made Gothic changes to it from plans by local architect John Murdoch and called it 'Fort Castle'. After Milller's death the 4th Marquess of Bute bought up the property in 1924 for 2,700 British Pounds and restored it to its former glory to plans by James Kennedy Hunter (1863-1929). The 5th Marquess of Bute gifted it to the town of Ayr in 1949, and it is now in the care of South Ayrshire Council. '''St Leonard's Parish Church''' c.1886 Location: St Leonard's Road and Monument Road The site of today's kirk was once a chapel and hospital c.1600's, which was torn down in the early 19th century. The current Kirk was designed by Ayr architect John Murdoch, and built at a cost of 6,000 British Pounds. The stained glass windows are a work of art. '''Tam-O-Shanter Inn''' c.1748 Location: 236 High Street, Ayr The 'Tam' as it's referred to was first owned by James Schearer until about 1849. The property was purchased by the Magistrates and Councilors of Ayr who passed it on to the Incorporation of Weavers Society (1850-1893). Then possession went to the 'Queen's and Lord Treasuer's Remembrance', and then sold to Andrew Muir, a local brewer. The property passed through many more hands throughout the years. In 1955 it became a museum. Today's it a well know restaurant and pub for both locals and visitors alike. '''Town Hall and Spire''' c.1830 Location: Sandgate and High Street, Ayr The tower stands 225 feet high and was design by Thomas Hamilton. The building also houses the town hall which accommodate about 600 people for meetings. The High Street extension was added in 1781 by Campbell, Douglas, and Sellers Architects. '''Wallace Tower''' (c. Unknown for original tower) (C. 1834 current tower). Located at 172 High Street. The original tower was purchased in 1673 by the Ayr Town Council from Burgess Adam Richie. A bell and clock were added in 1731 in a new belfry. In 1832 a restoration started taking place by adding a stone facing. Without a proper foundation the original building could not stand the weight and started to sink. It was demolished and a new tower build built in 1834 to plans by Thomas Hamilton. The (current) tower stands 113 feet high. The inset statue is said to be by self taught sculptor James Thom. Two bells are in the tower. The larger one (c.1731) is from the original tower. It was made in France. The smaller bell (c.1834) was likely the bell from the 'Laigh Tolbooth'. '''Wellington Square''' c.1806 Location: Wellington Square and Fort Street, Ayr The 'Square' is actually a rectangular green space in front of the Court and County Buildings. The square was named for Arthur Wellesley, the Duke of Welllington who won the victory at Waterloo.. Located at Wellington Square and Fort Street the 'Squares actually rectangular. It's a green space in front of the Court and County Building and named after the victor of Waterloo, Arthur Wellesley, the Duke of Wellington. There are various memorials in the square honoring: 13th Earl of Eglinton (aka Archibald William Montgomerie (1812-1861)), Brigadier-General James Neill (1810-1857), Sir James Fergusson of Kilkerran (1904-1973) Journalist and Historian, Sir Goscombe John (1910-XXXX) Postmaster General, John Loudon McAdam (1756-1836) Inventor of 'Tar McAdam' for road surfacing, and Primrose William Kennedy of Drumellan (1799-1863) Ayr Provost in 1855-1861. The government building formerly held a prison (on the South end facing the ocean) and was known as "The Cottage by the Sea' by prisoners. The prison portion was demolished in the early 1900's in favour of more government office space. FYI - The prisoners provided carpet cleaning services to the local residents. The residents were sad to see them go. === Suburb of Ayr - Alloway=== '''Alloway and the Burns Connection''' Other than the fact that Scotland's national bard Robert Burns (aka Rabbie Burns) was born here, there is not much in the way of historical significance to Alloway. Originally Alloway was a village and it became a suburb of Ayr in 1935. The 'town' if you want to call it that consists of a pharmacy, post office, flower shop, and a tea room on Monument Road (B7024) which is about a mile from Ayr. It's likely that Robert the Bruce rode through Alloway from his birthplace at Turnberry Castle down the coast on his way to Ayr. What was once farm and cattle grazing land around this area has been taken over by hundreds of houses, but they are off the main road and not visible. While not big in size, it's landmarks remain the "Must See" attractions for visitors from around the world See Landmarks of Alloway below, and Notable People Heading (Robert Burns) later in this study. === Landmarks of Alloway === '''Burns Cottage''' Location: B7024 at Doonholm Road, Alloway Originally named 'New Gardens Cottage' it was built by Robert's father William Burnes (original spelling) who married Agnes Broun in 1758 where they raised their family for the first seven years of Robert's life. William was a tenant farmer but the land in this area was 'sour' at the time and the family kept moving trying to find better soil to work. William continued to own the cottage after the family moved and sold it in 1781. It even became an ale house at one point. William died in 1784. Rooms were added on over the years but in recent times the cottage has been restored back to its original configuration. It is now the main tourist attraction of Alloway which welcomes visitors from all over the world to see what life was like in the cottage many centuries past. '''Brig O' Doon''' Location: Off B7024 behind the Brig-O-Doon House, Alloway Translated it means (bridge over the River Doon) and was made famous in Robert Burns poem 'Tam O Shanter' whereby a gentleman named Tam arrived at the Auld Kirk on his horse Meg after a night of drinking in Ayr. He saw the witches dancing and called out to them in a drunken stupor. They then chased him and Meg across the brig. Is it a true story, only tam knows and he's not talking. FYI - Robert's poem 'Tam O Shanter' is classified as a 'Tale'. The brig was built sometime in the late 1400's to early 1500's and spans around seventy feet across and a height of twenty-five feet above the river. It's a pedestrian only link between the district of Kyle (Alloway side) and the district of Carrick on the east side. '''Brig-O-Doon House''' Location: B7024, Alloway Next down the road is the Brig O' Doon House which was originally named 'Burns Arms Inn' c.1829, it's the only hotel in Alloway. It's not a large venue but its a quality one. The tea room/bar is a cozy place for a cup of tea and some fresh scones. The hot chocolate with fresh cream and coconut is a chocolate lovers dream come true. The tea room even has tartan carpet. Walk east to the newer brig (1816) where you will get some very scenic shots of the 'Brig O' Doon' in all its glory. Walk back down into the garden of the hotel and take more up close photos of the brig. Sit on the bench and enjoy the serenity of the River Doon as it flows by and the sound of sheep grazing on the other side of the river. '''Burns Monument and Gardens''' Location: Off B7024 behind the Brig-o-Doon House Was completed in 1823 for the sum of 3,200 British Pounds. It's made of sandstone and sits on a triangular base representing the three districts of Ayrshire at the time which were Cunninghame, Carrick, and Kyle., and has a cupola supported by nine Corinthian columns representing the nine muses of Greek mythology. The architect was Thomas Hamilton Jr. and the scultor was James Thom. Back on the main road one can either walk to 'Auld Nick's View' or drive up via 'Murdoch's Lone', both of which take you to the Robert Burns Birthplace Museum and gift store. This will round out your visit to Alloway and the 'Bards' connection. '''Kirk Alloway''' Location: B7024 and Auld Nick's View, Alloway A little ways east down the road, one will come to the Auld Kirk of Alloway sitting up above street level. It's roofless now but the grounds are still well maintained. Robert Burns' father and mother are buried here as marked by a rather large headstone. A replacement Kirk was built across the road and is still operational today as The Alloway Parish Church. === Suburb of Ayr - Newton-On-Ayr === Originally a separate Parish on the North side of the River Ayr, Newton merged with Ayr in 1873. It was where the working class resided. Today it's a mix of residential and light commercial. It also encompasses the North side of the Port of Ayr. === Landmarks of Newton-On-Ayr === '''Black Bull Public House''' c.1786 Location: Off A719 and River Street, by Auld Brig, Newton On Ayr It was first known as the Simpson's Inn or Simpson's Tavern. The name was changed about 1814 to the Black Bull. The inn had nine parlours, sixteen bedrooms, pub, kitchen, cellar, stables, and carriage house. The stables could accommodate thirty five horses. The 'Telegraph Coach' started from here every day on its run to Glasgow. From 1830 to 1874 it was known as the Black Bull Hotel. Today it's only a public house. The Inn's rooms are now private residences. '''Carnegie Library''' c.1893 Location: Main Street at River Street, Newton On Ayr Located on t was granted a donation of ten thousand British Pounds in 1890 by Andrew Carnegie. It was built as a two story of red sandstone in the late Renaissance style. The library still exists today and has a wonderful history section on the second floor. '''Newton Steeple''' c.1795 Location: Main Street and the A719 Roadway, Newton On Ayr The steeple is part of the original Newton-On-Ayr Parish Kirk which was built by forty eight Freeman that fought at Bannockburn. The steeple is of Georgian architecture. The Kirk was later demolished but the steeple remained. === Suburb of Ayr - Wallacetown === The name is derived from the Wallaces of Craigie which settled this area after their home of 'Newton Castle' fell into a state of disrepair. It sits along the North bank of the River Ayr. It was originally a village of its own Parish and became a suburbs of Ayr in 1832 and was known for its weaving trade. It borders Newton-On-Ayr as well. === Landmarks of Wallacetown === '''Ayr Racecouse''' c.1907 Location: A719 and Hawkhill Ave This large venue was a replacement for the original racecourse in Ayr (c. 1777). This newer course offers the Grand National and Gold Cup races every year. '''Craigie House''' c.1730 Location: University Avenue, Off Craigie Way, Wallacetown The land was originally occupied by a 13th century castle. It was owned by the Wallace family of Newton Castle in 1468, the Hamilton family in the 1500's, then the Wallace's of Craigie in 1588. The castle was torn down in the 1700's. Situated along the River Ayr, this John Smith designed three story estate 'Palladian' style house was built about 1780. It was requisitioned for military use during World War II. A good portion of the surrounding Craigie estate land has been parceled off to such educational entities as Ayr Academy, University of the West of Scotland, Ayrshire College, and the SRUC Campus. === Suburbs of Ayr - Whitletts === Began as a small village on the North side of the River Ayr and was largely a mining community during those years which included sub-standard miner's housing. === Landmarks of Whitletts === '''Thistle Inn''' c.1937 Location: 68 Main Road, Whitletts Designed by J.R. Johnstone === Estate Houses === '''Belleisle Estate''' c.1787 Location: Belleisle Park off A719, Ayr Originally part of The Barony of Alloway, The Town Council sold the property to Dr. Alexander Campbell in 1754. It remained in the family until 1787 when it was purchased by Hugh Hamilton, a nephew of Robert Hamilton who built Rozzelle House. Hugh built Belleisle in 1787 and named it after his plantation in Jamaica. It was originally called 'North Parks, then 'Ivy House' the finally Belleisle Unfortunately Belleisle Estate caught fire during renovations and was destroyed in June 2019. Estimates for rebuilding are set at around 12.5 million British Pounds. '''Rozelle House, Museum, and Galleries''' c.1760 Location: Monument Road, Alloway; Originally sitting on property owned by the Royal Burgh of Ayr as part of the Barony of Alloway, the 96 acre property was bought by Robert Hamilton in 1754. He was co-owner of two plantations in Jamaica, one of which was called "La Rochelle' (Rozelle). Robert and his family left Jamaica in 1743 and returned to Ayr where he built this mansion and named it 'Rozelle" after his plantation. Council run Rozelle Estate in Ayr- gifted to the public in 1968 by Commander J. Hamilton- was acquired through trade in sugar and tobacco from the West Indies’, according to South Ayrshire Council’s website.

By the time World War 2 was over, a total of 37,000 military aircraft had arrived at Prestwick, a town next to Ayr. As a multi-country effort, aircraft from The Royal Air Force, The Canadian Royal Air Force, as well as the United States were flown in locally during the war years as a show of force in the war in Europe with aircraft arriving on a daily basis in Ayrshire. It was just not the military doing their job, but the local citizens of Ayr as well who were also being asked to do their part for the war effort in using their homes to lodge military personnel as well as children evacuated from other town's like Glasgow and Edinburgh to get young children away from the possible horrors of war. Ayr Academy on Fort Street was used as a reception centre for the young. who arrived by train at Ayr station and would make their way to the centre for processing, then be billeted in the homes. Adults and children alike carried a gas mask at all times. The children were taught air raid drill, and there were total blackouts every night as well as constant air raid siren testing during the days. It was a serious time and everyone had to be prepared for the worst. Citizens were issued a rationing book for meat, bacon, eggs (one per week per person), butter, milk, and tea. They also received 'Points' which were issued as a supplement to the rationing book and were used for other items like tinned beans, peas, and fruit. The billeted solders and airmen also got rationing books which they willingly gave to their host families so as to buy needed items in bulk. Ayr was a good agricultural area so there was always a good supply of vegetables available to make soup. By 1941 German aircraft were flying over Ayr on their way to bomb northern locations like Greenoch, Glasgow, Clydebank (shipyards), and Paisley. The only one occasion when Ayr experienced a loud explosion was when a German planes dropped a mine at the mouth of the Ayr harbour which shook the whole town. There was a large navel training base at the 'Heads of Ayr', and an Army Assault Training Team at Craigie Park, as well as the airfields at Prestwick, Ayr that were never bombed like other cities. This may have been very different if the German pilots had known there was a film showing at the Odeon in Ayr entitled 'The Great Dictator' (a satire about Adolf Hitler) starring Charlie Chaplin.

If they fail to do their job, the company fails. Through the years and even centuries, the people of Ayr have made a great contribution to the success of the following industries and businesses. Times change and all of the following are no longer in business but provided many of Ayr's population with jobs over the years. American Steam Laundry Ayr Fertiliser Works (now Origin Fertilisers) Ayr Stamp Works (Closed in 2009) Beebee's Tannery (Mill Street) Boghall Coal Works (Wallacetown) Boots the Chemist Carrick Brass Works James Dickie Forging (Closed in 1995) James Gilchrist Ltd "Land- o-Burns Bakeries (Boswell Park) Grays Carpet Factory Hourstons Dept. Store (1896-2019) Speirs Iron Plane Works Templeton's Woolen Mills (Mill Street) Turner Brewery W.C. Galbraith and Sons Ltd (Bakeries) (1889-1966) Technically speaking, Fishing is an industry. But it can be considered a business as well from the fisher-folk perspective. Generations of fisher-folk have made a living in this area for many centuries up and down the Firth of Clyde. In the past both Ayr and Newton-On-Ayr were centres of the fishing industry in South Ayrshire. Times have changed and this area is no longer home port to a great fishing fleet it was years ago. Boats have been moved both up and down the coast for various reasons. As a family business, many owners have a lot of money invested in their boat, and equipment. The business is no longer a small time endeavour. Small boats have sometimes turned into million dollar investments for the owners. With the advancement of larger boats and newer electronic technology many owners now travel farther distances and stay away from home longer just to make a living. Being a fisher-folk is a hard and isolated life and is not for everyone. It has its rewards and also has its risks. Competition from other countries with larger ships (mother ships) make local fishing a tough business to pursue. But the generations continue on because it's their livelihood and the life of a fisher-folk.Czerkawska, Catherine Lucy, ''Fisher-Folk of Carrick'', 1975 Coal Mining was a big industry in all of Ayrshire and a lot of towns and villages were born out of this works. There were even 'Ghost Villages' that came about to house the miners but all of them did not survive with the end of the coal mining era. === Entertainment Venues === Of this list only The New Gaiety Theater, Ayr Pavilion (building), and The Odeon picture house have survived the test of time. Such greats as Sir Harry Lauder, and Sid Fields once played at the Gaieity.

Some of the rail bridge supports are still visible from the New Brig. The new Ayr Station opened in 1886 at the top of High Street and Smith streets. The days of steam trains are long gone. Steam was replaced by Diesel Electric and now by environmentally clean Electric. Trains run daily from Ayr to Glasgow on very strict schedules. The Station Hotel open in 1888 next door to the station and cost 25 Shillings per night. It served for many years. Under private owner ship in later years it has fallen into disrepair and is currently awaiting its fate which will be renovation or demolition. '''Tram Connection''' Local Transporation History Library; www.lthlibrary.org. Ayr Corporation Tramways first proposed horse drawn tramway system was approved in 1884 but never built. The town Council decided to move forward and its own Electrical Generating Company in 1898 and a followup application for an electric tram system was finally approved in 1899 which started In 1901 with the system consisting of a standard gauge of 4ft-8½ inchs track and covering 6.4 miles in length from the Prestwick Cross to the Ayr boundary. The trams were had only twenty horsepower motors and were built by Hurst Nelson of Motherwell. In 1902 the system was expanded onward to Alloway. The system continued to expand to other routes in the following years and served the local community for many years to come. With the system in a deteriorating condition and electrical costs going up, the Ayr Corporation Tramways applied for a Parliamentary Order in 1929 to permit them to operate motor buses within the burgh, along existing tram routes and to other points within a five-mile radius which was denied. In December 1931 the Town Council accepted an offer from the Scottish Motor Traction Company for the purchase of the existing system. The date of the takeover was to be the 1st January 1932. They would cease operation of the tram system and start running buses instead. December 1931 seen the end of the tram system and a new era of transportation was ushered in. The trams were dismantled at the Bellesleyhill Road Depot in 1932. === Maritime === '''Port of Ayr'''Moore, James M., ''The Port of Ayr - A Pictorial History'', 2005 Ayr as port has been around since the days of William the Lion in 1205. It's the third oldest port in Scotland. A lot of ships were built in Ayr as far back as the 1200's. Alexander III ordered many tall masted ships to be built for his Navy in the mid to late 1200's. During the Industrial Revolution of the mid 1700's coal was the big export product which came from the many mines throughout Ayrshire. In the 1800's to the mid 1900's there were many ships that made summer excurions out of Ayr. Some of these were the P.S. Juno (c.1898) (Paddlewheel Steamer), T.S.Glen Sannox (c.1925) (Turbine Steamer), T.S, Duchess of Hamilton (c.1932), T.S. Duchess of Montrose (c.1930), the P.S. Caledonia (c.1934) , and T.S. Marchioness of Graham (c.1936). Consisting of a north dock (on the Newton side), and a south dock (on the Ayr side), the port today is as busy as ever. With depths up to 22 feet the ports north docks can accommodate large vessels for both import and export, as well as repair jobs. The south dock today has been redeveloped for residences only. The war years seen many minesweepers and navel escort ships in the harbour. '''P.S. Waverly''' Talking of the Port would not be complete without talking of the Waverly. The first Waverly (c.1899) cruised the Firth of Clyde until 1940 when it was requisitioned for the war effort. It was lost at Dunkirk.

An 80-foot-tall (24-metre) turreted clock tower remains an eye-catching feature to this day. Architects John and William Smith used Granite from the quarry at nearby Glen Gelder, which produced an attractive off-white stone. === Interior === Royal Collection Trust; https://www.rct.ukElle Decor; https://www.elledecor.comScene Therapy; https://scenetherapy.comMental Floss; https://www.mentalfloss.comBritish Heritage; https://britishheritage.comTown and Country Living; article by Caroline Hallemann, Published: Nov 13, 2022; https://www.townandcountrymag.com Being a private residence of the British Royal Family, a lot of the residential space has not been defined publicly for security reasons. Information is only available on the following rooms of Balmoral. '''Drawing Room:''' Queen Elizabeth II often posed for a shoot with Prince Philip or hosted an audience with a prime minister in this traditional room offering a crackling fireplace amid historic ornamental items. Much of the room’s decor remains unchanged from decades ago, including the teal-upholstered couch. '''Study / Office:''' The Queen spent her mornings here dealing with State Papers sent from London. Tartan carpet and white floral fabrics speckled with blossoms can be seen with the floor-to-ceiling curtains and box-pleated upholstered chairs. Leather-bound books and stately grandfather clocks are present in the room as well. '''Grand Ballroom:''' The only room open to public tours is the grand ballroom, where the future Queen Elizabeth would attend the annual Ghillies’ Ball. Early illustrations indicated that during Queen Victoria’s reign, mounted stag heads lined the walls, and large chandeliers. Today, the decorations feature tartan wallcoverings, ornately carved wooden cabinets, and gilded painted portraits. === Grounds === It is a working estate, including grouse moors, forestry and farmland, as well as managed herds of deer, Highland cattle, and ponies. There are some very special residents - red squirrels which Charles III loves. There is a 3-acre formal garden area in front of the main castle block. The garden was designed by Queen Mary from 1923-1925. === Estate Cottages === Through the centuries there have been 150 guest cottages built on the estate. The following are just some of them: Colt Cottages, Connachat Cottage, Karim Cottage, Knocks Cottage and Rhebreck Lodge are available throughout the year for visitors (at a hefty price). Garbh Allt Shiel, Sterinbeg and Tigh Na Garaidh are only available for certain dates during the year. === Memorials and Cairns === Canmore; https://canmore.org.ukWikipedia; https://en.wikipedia.org '''Statue of John Brown''' This life-size statue was erected by the Queen Victoria in memory of John Brown, her personal attendant for many years after Albert's death in 1861. The statue, by Sir Edgar Boehm, shows Brown in Highland dress wearing both the Devoted Service Medal and the Faithful Servant Medal he received in his lifetime. The inscription on the granite plinth reads: "Friend more than Servant, Loyal, Truthful, Brave, Self less than Duty, even to the Grave". '''Statue of Queen Victoria’s collie dog 'Noble' is in one of the lush gardens.''' '''Cairns''' There are a total of fourteen cairns on Balmoral Estates which includes one at Birkhall Estate as well. One notable one is the pyramid shaped one commissioned by Queen Victoria for Prince Albert. === Movies === Filming is not permitted inside the castle and past movies have always used substitute locations for 'Mrs Brown' and the 'Queen' were as follows: '''The Queen''' - Blairquhan Castle '''Mrs Brown''' - Duns Castle '''The Crown''' - Ardverikie House === Public Visitation === While the area of the Balmoral Estate that the queen resides in is kept private, there are parts of the estate that are open to the public throughout certain times of the year. The grounds, gardens, and gift shops are generally open to the public between April and July. The estate offers cottages that are open to the public and available to rent for a price. It is worth noting that the cottages may not be available depending on whether, nor when the royals will be in residence. === Nearby Sites === Wikipedia; https://www.wikitree.com '''Crathie Kirk''' c.1893 Location: 2 Fergach Cottages, Crathie, Ballater, Scotland The current Kirk replaces two older ones from the 9th century and 1805. The Royal family has attended the (1805) Kirk starting with Queen Victoria in 1848. Queen Victoria laid the corner stone for the current Kirk in 1893. Anne, Princess Royal married Timothy Laurence at Crathie Kirk in December 1992. ==Sources==

As of this writing in 2024, some of their descendants still live there. The plantation might also have been known at that time as "The Elevens" online pdf from the Archives at the University of Alabama http://alabamamaps.ua.edu/historicalplaces/text/BibbText.pdf , but the name Banks Quarters, or Banks, survives to this day. The freed slaves and their descendants appear to have kept the name Banks. The former plantation is now a rural area with a small number of residences, just outside of the current town of Vance, a small portion of which is in Bibb County, the remainder in Tuscaloosa County. ==Geography== :'''Continent:''' North America :'''Country:''' United States of America :'''State/Province:''' Alabama :'''County:''' Bibb :'''GPS Coordinates:''' 33.15200,-87.18900 :'''Elevation:''' 153.6 m or 503.9 feet ==History== ===Native History=== The Creeks settled in villages mostly on the Cahaba River in what is now Bibb County, Alabama, some 300 years before white settlers intruded upon their homeland. Following the War of 1812, the Creeks were pressured to leave. Their food supplies were stolen and some of their homes destroyed. The Treaty at Fort Jackson (1814) forced them to clear the area for the white settlers. Ellison, Rhonda Coleman. ''Bibb County, Alabama: The First Hundred Years, 1818-1918.'' Tuscaloosa, Alabama: The University of Alabama Press, 1984. pp. 6-9. Like many of his relatives and other enslavers in the South, Marion Banks established his plantation on the land after the forced relocation of the native people -- in his case, the west side of the Cahaba River these people had previously inhabited. Website of the Central Alabama Genealogy: Bibb County, Alabama, 1950, East and West Sides of Cahaba River." http://alagenealogy.com/Census%20Records/Bibb%20County%20Alabama/1850/1850%20Bibb%20Co.%20AL%20East-West%20Side%20Cahaba.htm ===Plantation Years=== It is not yet known how and when Marion Banks initially acquired Banks Quarters Plantation. Between 1854-1858 through the Land Act of 1820, he purchased 9 small tracts of low-cost land in Bibb County at or near the location of the plantation, a total of 523 acres. It is not clear if these 523 acres expanded or completed the 2000-acre plantation. ''General Land Office Records," U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management. p. 4.https://glorecords.blm.gov/results/default.aspx?searchCriteria=type=patent%7Cst=AL%7Ccty=%7Cln=Banks%7Csp=true%7Csw=true%7Csadv=false#resultsTabIndex=0&page=4&sortField=11&sortDir=0 As of 1850, Marion Banks already enslaved 57 people on Banks Quarters Plantation. See [[Space:Slaves_of_Marion_Banks%2C_Alabama|Slaves of Marion Banks, Alabama]]. He was an absentee owner, living and working in Tuscaloosa, Alabama throughout his adult life. During the antebellum period, Bibb County was frontier country, mostly made up of small, isolated farms. There were relatively few plantations compared to other locations in Alabama, and Banks Quarters (at about 2000 acres) was quite large compared to other properties in the county.Ellison, Rhonda Coleman. ''Bibb County, Alabama: The First Hundred Years, 1818-1918.'' Tuscaloosa, Alabama: The University of Alabama Press, 1984. pp. 51, 82, and 102. ===Early Reconstruction Period=== After the Emancipation, at least some of Marion Banks' formerly enslaved people remained at Banks Quarters, as indicated in his Will written in 1886 -- see below. Perhaps they remained there as sharecroppers. This is not clear, as any post-war records from this time and place are hard to find if they exist at all; Bibb County was so remote, outside the "Black Belt," that it got little attention from the Freedmen's Bureau, responsible for supervising labor contracts, relief to newly freed people, and more.Ellison, Rhonda Coleman. ''Bibb County, Alabama: The First Hundred Years, 1818-1918.'' Tuscaloosa, Alabama: The University of Alabama Press, 1984. p. 143. Also, it's not clear how and why 16 of the formerly enslaved families acquired and then sold more than 20 tracts of land, all before the year (1886) of Marion Banks' death, when he left the plantation to them.

In the possession of Sara Lively. Through his Will, Banks bequeathed Banks Quarters to eleven "former slaves," entrusting two of them, Harvey and Sidney, to distribute portions of the land to all eleven men and their families. According to the probate accounting record, dated 1893, the land was distributed to these people who (seven years after Banks' death) still "were perhaps residents of Bibb County AL, near Vance Station."

Banks, Elbert Augustine; Young, Georgia Butt; Franklin, Sarah Banks, The Genealogical Records of the Banks Family of Elbert County, Georgia. Unknown publication date and location (likely self published). Volume 2, p. 180. Perhaps Harvey set the tone for the spirit of cooperation that prevailed in this long-term community. ==="A Flourishing Colony"=== With the distribution of the land, a "flourishing colony" post-war was formed.Saunders, Col. James Edmonds with Stubbs, Elizabeth Saunders Blair: ''Early Settlers of Alabama, with Notes and Genealogies.'' Westminster, Maryland: Heritage Books, Inc., 2008. Facsimile reprint of original publication, New Orleans, 1899. p. 448. The true historical significance and uniqueness of this settlement is captured in an article from ''The Star of Zion'' newspaper, the oldest African American newspaper to be continuously published in North Carolina.''Star of Zion'' Wikipedia site. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page The article, titled "Unique Negro Colony," Published in 1896, it's worth quoting here in full.

In Alabama, not far from Birmingham, a Negro colony unique in the South, its postoffice name is, Vance, and it is settled on the former plantation of Marion Banks, a slave owner of old days, who left his land to his Negroes when he died. There were eleven heads of families among the Negroes at the time and each got a farm of 209 acres, but they have preferred to live together in community, working together and helping each other when necessary. The settlement has been prosperous and is now self-supporting, and has over 300 members, nearly all of the pure African type. But what the Negroes want more than anything else are better school facilities, for they are beginning to appreciate the fact that only with education can they keep up with the procession and they are now going to work to add the necessary school and thus secure educational advance as well as material prosperity. There are dozens of Negro settlements in the South; but this is perhaps the only one which has been thoroughly successful without the advice, assistance or guidance of white men and where the principle of co-operation, believed to be so difficult in the Negro, has been carried out thoroughly."Unique Negro Colony," ''The Star of Zion,'' Charlotte, NC, December 3, 1896. Edition 1, Image 3. https://newspapers.digitalnc.org/lccn/sf88092969/1896-12-03/ed-1/seq-3/#words=Colony+Negro+Unique

The distribution of 209 acres each to eleven families exceeds the recorded size (about 2000 acres) of Banks' plantation, and so Banks' formerly enslaved people presumably received all of it. Note the impressive growth of the community: In just seven years from the approximate time of the land distribution to the date of this article, the community had grown to 300 people -- far more than the eleven families who initially received the land. But most remarkable is the final sentence of this article, stating that of dozens of "Negro" settlements in the South, this one was perhaps the most successful, independent from the involvement of white men, with an emphasis on cooperation within the community. Over time the size of the land on which they lived shrank, and it's likely that white residents forced them from the land. The residents may have decided to sell (or abandon) their separate farms not just for money, but to live together for the purpose of cooperation. And they may have stuck closely together due to the threats and dangers that surrounded them after the war. As freed Blacks began to assert their independence through such activities as forming their own separate churches and seeking voting rights, the period of terrorism began. In Bibb County the Ku Klux Klan arose, and with it a vigilante culture against Blacks. Robbery, violence and murder were rampant in the 1890s. According to the National Museum for Peace and Justice in Montgomery, Alabama, between 1886 and 1933, thirteen Black men in Bibb County were lynched."More Than 300 African-Americans Lynched in Alabama in 66 Years." List from the National Museum for Peace and Justice Memorial. ''Alabama News'' online. 26 April 2018.https://www.al.com/news/2018/04/alabamas_racial_lynching_victi.html Undoubtedly during this time, additional people other than those recorded at the Museum were murdered, attacked, and terrorized. Three of the thirteen murdered Black men during that period are unnamed, the others not recognizable as those we know of who lived at Banks Quarters. One can imagine the fear the people in this community felt in this environment. As for the prosperity of the settlement referred to in the article in ''The Star of Zion,'' the land ownership may have been key. Seven of the inheritors of Banks' property sold more than 30 tracts of land (in addition to 20 tracts unexplainably sold before they inherited Banks Quarters, see above). Perhaps this significantly offset the challenges of farming in the aftermath of the failed Reconstruction, post-war appropriation of cotton by the federal government, drought, and more. The community's interest in education, as cited in the article (see above), is reflected in the history of Bibb County, where the son of former slaves named Henry Damon Davidson at that time led a movement to establish reputable schools for Black children. Though this met with considerable resistance by White leaders, Davidson did manage in 1900 to open an industrial school for Black children: Centreville Industrial Institute, later Bibb County Training School. Ellison, Rhonda Coleman. 'Bibb County, Alabama: The First Hundred Years, 1818-1918.' Tuscaloosa, Alabama: The University of Alabama Press, 1984. pp. 209-211. In 1975 the school -- now the Centreville Elementary School -- was added to the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage."Alabama Historic Inventory: Bibb County Training School. Bibb County, Alabama. https://ahc.alabama.gov/Alabama%20Register%20Properties/Bibb%20County/AL.BibbCounty.BibbCountTrainingSchoolOCR.pdf Living descendants of the Banks community say that some of their ancestors attended the school, and Banks family members have attended reunions and served in leadership roles there.From an email in 2023 from a living linked descendant, in possession of Sara Lively. Because Banks Quarters was located in Vance, Alabama, and the newspaper article in 1896 (see above) celebrates the community there, it's not clear why federal and state census records for 1866, 1870, 1880, and 1900 show [[Banks-10913|Harvey Banks (abt.1835-abt.1905)]], [[Banks-10925|Sidney Banks (1836-1906)]], and other Black families by the last name Banks living close together in towns called James and Kingdom.

Living descendants of [[Banks-10925|Sidney Banks (1836-1906)]] and [[Banks-10528|Pleasant Banks (bef.1823-)]] say that other members of their family still live on some of the land left by Marion Banks. Reports are that through the years residents have experienced land losses and continued mistreatment by whites in many ways, such as their arrival at the home of a loved one right after his funeral, with the intent of taking this home right away. It's also reported that the owner of a paper mill is buying up forested areas, and he has told a resident that he wants the area to be occupied only by whites. Personal recollections and recorded family interviews by living linked descendants, as told to Sara Lively on May 20 and 24, 2023. Recordings of Zoom calls with them in the possession of Sara Lively. Other land from the old plantation may have been purchased by Mercedes-Benz in Vance -- the only American factory for this car maker -- for expansion to make electric cars."Mercedes-Benz Plant Expansion Set for 2022 Completion."

One wonders if this might be a reference to the eleven "former slaves" who inherited Marion Banks' plantation. *It is not known why Marion Banks gave all his land to his former slaves. It's possible that he had fathered children with one or more of them, possibly the "Mulatto servant" (Lucy Banks) who lived with him in Tuscaloosa for many years, and possibly others. *It's recommended that additional research be conducted for records explaining the sales of land that several people in the community made from 1870-1889, much of it before Banks Quarters was distributed to them through Marion Banks' bequest. It's not yet known what the reason(s) are, but the possibilities might be that Marion freed the former slaves and gave them money thereby enabling them to acquire land; or Marion Banks sold them shares if they worked for him; or (through Freedmen's Bureau efforts as of 1865) they received certificates for land that Marion did not attempt to reclaim when then-President Johnson reversed government allocations of land to freed slaves. ==Sources==

Bar Harbor,a town in Hancock County, incorporated on '''February 23, 1796''' under the name '''Eden''' from land set off from the town of Mount Desert on Mount Desert Island . After over 120 years, its name was changed to '''Bar Harbor''' on '''March 5, 1918''' . The village of Bar Harbor and Eden existed at the same time. Eden village was near Hadley's point and Bar Harbor village is and was next to the harbor of the same name. ==Timeline== {| class="wikitable" border="1" style="width: 650px" | scope="col" align="center" style="width: 80px; background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Date''' | scope="col" align="center" style="width: 270px; background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Designation''' | scope="col" align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Note''' |- | -1534|| name unknown|| Wabanaki peoples - the Maliseet, Micmac, Passamaquoddy and Penobscot tribes |- | 1534-1760||Nouvelle France||Under French control, no known European settlers |- |1760||unorganized territory

      '''Eden''' in Hancock County, occupies the northern and eastern portion of Mount Desert Island. It embraces an area of 22,000 acres, about 1,000 of which are covered by water. In the north-west is Western Bay ; in the north is Thomas Bay, which receives the waters of the largest stream on the island, North-Eastern Brook. North of this are Mount Desert Narrows, separating the island and the mainland. The principal eminences are Newport Mountain (1,060 feet in height), McFarland's Mountain (764 feet), the White Cap (925 feet), Mount Kebo (405 feet), Interlaken Hill (462 feet), Great Hill (748 feet). Dry Mountain and Green Mountain (1,522 feet), 4 miles S.S.W. of Bar Harbor, are partly in Eden. "The view from Green Mountain is delightful. No other peak of the same height can be found on the Atlantic coast of the United States, from Lubec to the Riu Grande, nor from any other point of the coast can so fine a view be obtained. The boundless ocean on the one side contrasting with high mountains on the other, and along the shore numerous islands, appearing like gems set in liquid pearl, form the most prominent features in the scene. White sails dotted over the water glide slowly along. We know not what view in nature can be finer than this, where the two grandest objects in nature, high mountains and a limitless ocean, occupy the horizon. The name of Eden is truly appropriate to this beautiful place." Twenty miles out on the ocean is seen Mount Desert Rock, with its light-house beaming a fixed white light. In the west are numerous mountains of the island, with bright lakes interspersed, while the Camden Mountains are seen in the distance. It is claimed that Mount Katahdin, 100 miles to the north, and Mount Washington, 140 miles west, can sometimes be seen from this point. Whittier, in Mogg Megone, has a passage on this locality.
     Granite, sometimes porphyritic in its character, is the prevailing rock in town. The soil varies from loam to gravel, with some marsh. Wheat, corn, oats, potatoes and barley are all raised to some extent. There are two saw-mills for long lumber, two shingle and two clap board mills. Agriculture and the fisheries are both carried on to a considerable extent ; but the chief employment of the people is catering to the wants of summer visitors. Bar Harbor, the principal village, is situated on the east side of the island. It has a fine sea view, extending across Porcupine Island, in Frenchman's Bay, to the rolling hills of Goldsborough. There are beaches near the village ; and a high rocky islet near by is the summer residence of General Fremont. About one and a half miles south of the village is Cromwell's Cove, noted for its bold cliff shores, on one of which is the rock-figure called the Assyrian. The Indian's Foot (a foot print in the rock) and the Pulpit are in this vicinity. Four miles south of Bar Harbor is Schooner Head, a high, wave-washed cliff, with a white formation on its seaward side, which resembles a schooner under sail. It is said to have been cannonaded by a-Bvitish frigate in the war of 1812. About two and a half miles north of Bar Harbor is the little seaport of Hull's Cove. Here is a neat crescent beach, where the Gregoire's dwelt, the hereditary proprietors of most of the region ; Madame Gregoire being a grand-daughter of the Gascon noble, Condillac, to whom the King of France granted Mount Desert in 1688. About two miles north of this place, across the promontory, is Salisbury Cove, a port for small vessels. The Via Mala is a long passage in the neighboring cliffs. A short distance eastward from this on the northern angle of the promontory, is the little hamlet of Sand Cliff ; and near it are the Ovens, a range of caves in the porphyritic cliffs. All over the island are found elm, birch, maple, cedar, and the evergreens, in large tracts and scattered groups.
      The first English settlement of the town was in 1763, by two families named Thomas and Higgins. Eden was taken from Mount Desert and incorporated in 1796. The name was probably adopted in honor of Richard Eden, an early English author. There is also a tradition that its natural beauties suggested its name. [See also Tremont and Mount Desert], There are Baptist, Episcopal and Union churches in the town. The public library contains about 1,200 volumes. A high school is sustained for a portion of the year. Eden has thirteen public school houses, and its school property is valued at $8,000. The valuation of estates in 1870 was $196,499. In 1880, it was $177,534. The rate of taxation in 1880 was 16 mills on the dollar. The population in 1870 was 1,195. In the census of 1880 it was 1,629. ==Additional Resources== ::'''Web Sites''': * [[Wikipedia:Bar Harbor, Maine |Wikipedia]] Bar Harbor * [https://www.mainegenealogy.net/individual_place_record.asp?place=bar_harbor Maine Genealogy net:] Resources for Genealogists and Family Historians * [https://barharborhistorical.org/ Bar Harbor Historical Society] * [https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/Bar_Harbor,_Hancock_County,_Maine_Genealogy Family Search] Bar Harbor, Hancock County, Maine Genealogy * [https://maineanencyclopedia.com/bar-harbor/ Maine Encyclopedia ] Bar Harbor ::'''Books:''' * Dodge, E.

It is an active volcano (errupted in the last 10 thousand years), and comprises one end of the Campanian Plain volcanic arc, that includes the active volcano of Vesuvius and the adjacent supervolcanic region of the Phlegrean Fields (Campi Flegrei). ** Ischia is a former supervolcano, with a collapsed caldera, that first arose from the Tyrrhenian Sea at least 150,000 years ago. There was a major eruption about 50,000 years ago that ejected approx. 40 cubic km of Mt Epomeo Green Tuff over the entire region.[[https://pure.royalholloway.ac.uk/portal/files/23151168/2014_Tomlinson_et_al.pdf "Age and geochemistry of tephra layers from Ischia, Italy: constraints from proximal-distal correlations with Lago Grande di Monticchio" Emma L. Tomlinson et al (2014)]] ** The present island is the result of resurgent uplift of a horst, together with volcanic side cones from later eruptive events. [[https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/17445647.2018.1498811 Volcanology of Ischia (Italy) "Alessandro Sbrana, Paola Marianelli & Giuseppe Pasquini"]] ** The last eruption occured from the Barano area in Jan-Mar 1302. Lava flowed down to the sea, creating the Arso in Fiaiano, which was planted with pines in the 19th Century. ** Ischia is also known as the Emerald Island (Isola Verde), because of the luxuriant vegetation on its rich volcanic soil. * Political Geography: ** Barano d'Ischia is one of the six Italian comunes on the Island of Ischia (Isola d'Ischia), that all are part of the Metropolitan City of Naples (Napoli). Naples was one of Provinces of the Italian Region of Campaniahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campania until 2014, when it was redesignated a Metropolitan City. ** Barano d'Ischia includes a number of Roman Catholic churches: https://www.antenati-italiani.org/en/towns/63007-barano-dischia that are all part of the Diocese of Ischia.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Catholic_Diocese_of_Ischia. The earliest known Bishop of Ischia, Pietro, was present at the Third Lateran Council of Pope Alexander III in 1079. ** The sizes of the Island of Ischia and its six comunes are: {| border="1" class="wikitable sortable" !Ischitana Description||sq km||Population |- |Isola d'Ischia (overall)|| align=center|46.3|| |- |Barano d'Ischia comune|| align=center|11.1|| |- |Casamicciola Terme comune|| align=center|5.6|| |- |Forio d'Ischia|| align=center|12.85|| |- |Ischia (Porto & Ponte) comune|| align=center|8.0|| |- |Lacco Ameno|| align=center|2.08|| |- |Serrara Fontana|| align=center|6.7|| |} :* Barano d'Ischia is the second largest comune by area on Ischia (after Forio d'Ischia), but with many fewer permanent inhabitants, resulting in a lower overall population density. === History === * The island was one of the first Greek colonies, settled in the 4th Century B.C., and was named Pithekousa, possibly after the volcanic pithos (pottery clay) found there. * It was an important stopping point for Greek shipping, on the trade route between Greece and northern Italy. * The Greek colony was on the northern side of the island, but they also had a nymphaeum on the southern side, in an area that is now part of the Barano d'Ischia comune. This was associated with the hot mud pools that bubble from the ground, and the natural springs that emanate from the hillside of Epomeo, and which have carved deep ravines in the soft volcanic rock. * The island was renamed Aenaria by the Romans, who followed Pliny's and Strabo's advice to soak in the thermal springs, that are still a feature of the Barano comune. * The main historic siteshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barano_d'Ischia#History in Barano comune include: :* the Pilastri aqueduct (1470) was built to take water from other Barano springs to a distant fortified islet (Castello Aregonese). :* the Church of St. John the Baptist (15th century) is one of the most ancient in the island. It houses a canvas by a Caravaggist. :* there is a Saracen Tower in the village of Testaccio, which is one of several defensive structures on the island, intended to help protect the local population from maurauding pirates :* the ruined (?) windmills on Montebarano took advantage of the winds at that elevation to grind (??). === Population === ==== Barano Census ==== Barano d'Ischia comune population table: {| border="1" !Census||Barano||Casomicciola||Forio||Ischia||Lacco Ameno||Serrara Fontana||Total |- |1861||6241|| || || || || || |- |1871||6782|| || || || || || |- |1881||6564|| || || || || || |- |1891|||| || || || || || |- |1901||7012|| || || || || || |- |1911||7197|| || || || || || |- |1921||8192|| || || || || || |- |1931||8842|| || || || || || |- |''1936''||''9252''|| || || || || || |- |1941||wartime|| || || || || || |- |1951||10385|| || || || || || |- |1961||11416|| || || || || || |- |1971||14339|| || || || || || |- |1981||16038|| || || || || || |- |1991||16031|| || || || || || |- |2001||19253|| || || || || || |- |2011||18688|| || || || || || |- |2021||TBD|| || || || || || |} * '''NOTE''' these numbers represent the permanent (winter time) population, as Ischia (like Capri) is a well known tourist destination. Many Neapolitans have inherited or bought weekend and holiday residences, and other tourists fill the hotels and rental properties during the summer season (Easter to late autumn). ==== Barano Surname Frequency ==== This table of estimated surname frequency is based on running multiple queries against the Ellis Island immigration databasehttps://www.StatueOfLiberty.org/passenger/ looking for how many persons in total, of each surname, put location "Barano" as their last place of residence / birth place. For comparson totals are also given for the location "Ischia" without "Barano", and the overall total for all locations (mostly Italy). * '''NOTES:''' :# This assumes that likelihood of emigrating is independent of surname, so numbers emigrating is a good proxy for surname frequency. This may not be true for immigration to the USA via Ellis Island.

Welcome to The People of Bartlett, Bell County, Texas Project!

The goal of this project is to list the information and profiles pertaining to the People of Bartlett, Texas. Editor`s Note: Because Bartlett, Texas sits on the County line of Bell and Williamson County, I have provided a category link to Williamson County is well. Right now this project just has only a few members join us. I am [[Czarowitz-1|Jon P Czarowitz]]. :Leader of Texas Project is [[Richardson-7161|Mary Richardson]] :Leaders for US_History are Allison Andrus and Abby Glann Will you join me?

Thanks! Here are some of the tasks that I think need to be done. I'll be working on them, and could use your help. == Goals == The overall goals of the US History Project are to create and develop profiles on WikiTree for those who lived in the state of Texas. To gather all sources on Texas in one place. To meet these goals: Will you join me?

Thanks! [[Czarowitz-1|Jon P Czarowitz]]. ==History/Timeline== Bartlett was the hub of the surrounding locations. Where it once was a thriving railroad hub, it has gone to be a small town hub for the Recycled Wares of Days Gone By.* We are having the benefit of One Name Studies now under way: They are Bartlett Name Study; Cline Name Study; and Hempel Name Study. The one just starting is the Cline Name Study, Which is Bell and Williamson counties. When he was flooded out in the southern area, he moved his family north of town. His name was Sylvester Cline. Another family, although we have not started a One Name Study, is the Stockton Family. Learning that there is a Stockton Family Cemetery in Bartlett has made this information gathering much easier. A town without good water cannot survive. One man I met in my annual visits to Bartlett was I will introduce you to some of these fine people of Bartlett, Texas. I might add that these families are not in any order. If you have info that pertains to a family, let me know. Each family has a lot number which I can add to the names and dates on here. # 037 Our first family is the Rudasill Family with [[Rudasill-23| John Wood Rudasill]] and wife [[Swindler-65|Ardella 'Della' (Swindler) Rudasill]]. also in Lot # 037 are: Daughter, [[Rudasill-22|Mary Pearl (Rudasill) Bolding]]; Daughter, [[Rudasill-24|Susie Rudasill]]; Son, [[Rudasill-25|Clyde Rudasill]]; and Son, [[Rudasill-26|Aubrey, or 'A' Rudasill]]. If you have birth locations, let me know. Also if you know the parents of John Wood Rudasill so we can connect them to the Wikitree. **-----** # 021 Our next Family is the Cline Family with [[Cline-3114|Oceola R Cline]] and wife [[Patterson-10134|Jemima (Patterson) Cline]]. Also in the Lot # 21 are Son, [[Cline-3168|Ollie Cline]] and Ollie's wife, [[Blaschke-19|Helen (Blaschke) Cline]] and their infant daughter, [[Cline-3169|Ollie Dene Cline]]. With the Family in Lot # 021 are Son, [[Cline-3122|Clarence Cline]]; Son, [[Cline-3123|Oscar P Cline]]; and Daughter, [[Cline-3113|Myrtle (Cline) Messer]]; Daughter of Myrtle, [[Messer-915|Dorothy Jemima (Messer) Kosub], Dorothy's brother [[Messer-916|Arthur Warren Messer]] was buried in Lot # 174. He had died of pneumonia and was buried separately from his Mother. He only lacked a few days of being 5 years old. Also we have Oceola's brother [[Cline-3146|William Pickney Cline]] and his wife [[Daniel-4511|Belven Lockwood (Daniel) Cline]] buried in Cline Lot # 226 in Bartlett City Cemetery, Bartlett, Williamson County, Texas, United States of America. == Cemeteries == {{Image|file=Rusk County Cemeteries.gif |align=l |size=360 |caption= }}{{clear}} **[[:Category: Bartlett City Cemetery, Bartlett, Texas]] == Prelude == *[[[Space:Bartlett_City_Cemetery%2C_Bartlett%2C_Texas|Space|page for Bartlett City Cemetery]]] (Work in Progress - long term, but you can look) * Note * The work of providing profiles for those in Bartlett City Cemetery is no speedy task with over 2300 burials. This space page is the result of finding of Families gathered in one or two lots together, plus several One Name Studies now in progress in the Bartlett area. Those are: 'Bartlett', 'Cline', and 'Hempel' One Name Studies (In Progress). There is a large gathering of these names in the Bartlett Area. Those listed lived and/or did business in Bartlett, Texas. Bartlett was the hub of the surrounding locations. Where it once was a thriving railroad hub, it has gone to be a small town hub for the Recycled Wares of Days Gone By.* The City of Bartlett was kind enough to provide me with lists of burials by name, by lot number and by an alphabetical pictorial listing of those buried in the Bartlett City Cemetery. At the time of these, GPS was too new to be included. I have taken on the task of combining these lists with the Wikitree profiles of those buried there. (In Progress) Join me in the task of honoring this wonderful city of our ancestors, Bartlett, Texas. Jon P Czarowitz ===Sources=== *[http://www.bartletttexas.net/ Bartlett, Texas]

It was listed on the [https://npgallery.nps.gov/NRHP National Register of Historic Places] in 1975. ===Geography=== :'''Continent:''' North America :'''Country:''' United States :'''State/Province:''' Pennsylvania :'''County:''' Adams :'''GPS Coordinates:''' 39.818889, -77.038056 :'''Elevation:''' ===History=== The Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus was originally known as Conewago Chapel. It traces its roots back to 1730. There was a conflict in land grants when it was first established. William Penn and Lord Baltimore both thought it was part of their lands. The first settlers were Catholics from Maryland and Germany. The Maryland settlers thought it was part of Maryland and the Germans thought it was part of Pennsylvania. This dispute was settled with the establishment of the Mason Dixon Line. The church was established by Jesuit priests. The church has served under various organizations throughout it's history. There are coats of arms displayed in the church commemorating that history. The first church was as log cabin in 1751. By 1781, the population in the area supported the building of a permanent building that is part of the current structure. It was the first Catholic Church in America build of stone. The Steeple was added in the 1880s in commemoration of the centennial of the church. In 1851, the church building was expanded to the footprint that still stands today. When the church was expanded, the Jesuits had a Bavarian artist paint a depiction of the last supper directly on the masonry wall above the high altar. Within 20 years water leakage had damaged this art beyond repair. That mural was covered in the late 1800s by a painting depicting a vision of Jesus and the Sacred Heart appearing to a Jesuit nun and priest. Just recently, in 2021, the picture on the wall https://www.wikitree.com/photo/jpg/Basilica_of_the_Sacred_Heart_of_Jesus-2was uncovered when the painting was removed for restoration. https://www.facebook.com/sacredheartconewago The stained glass windows and the art in the church tell the Christian story. They were used to teach the children about their religion. The art is still used today in the sermons preached every week. [https://sacredheartbasilica.com/history-of-sacred-heart.

The goal of my study is to add as many individuals from these communes as I can document, and to link them into the world family tree.

Wilson; Personal Visit, June 2023Urbs Travel; https://www.urbstravel.com ''Note: The good thing about this parish is that the major landmarks in Belém are all within easy walking distance to each other. Most are at the water front and a few are across the main avenue. More good news for the tourist is that there is a tunnel that runs underground from one side of the avenue to the other, so no need to move your car. It will take a good day to see and absorb all the venues.'' '''Afonso de Albuquerque Square''' aka Jarim Afonso de Albuquerque c.1902 Location: R. de Belém at Praça Afonso de Albuquerque Named for the Second Governor of Portuguese India, Afonso de Albuquerque, the square is located across the street from Belém Palace that today serves as a residence for the President of Portugal.

By 1532, the Federer family had converted back to Catholicism.[6] In 1848 Berneck suffered a great fire that destroyed over one hundred buildings in the village.

The hope is that other researchers like you will join the study to help make it a valuable reference point for people studying people that lived there and their contributions in history. == Quick Links == * [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berwick,_Pennsylvania Wikipedia] *[http://berwickborough.org/ Berwick borough website] *[https://www.berwickhistoricalsociety.org/ Berwick Historical Society] *[http://columbiamontourchamber.com/berwick/ Columbia Montour Chamber of Commerce/Berwick] == Population through the years == *According to local history the population was about 450 by 1840. *According to census info from Wikipedia the population grew to 923 by 1860 and 3916 by 1900,it peaked at 14010 in 1950 and has been declining slowly from about 11,000 in 1990 to about 10,500 in 2010. == Early History == * The information in this section is a summary of information from a book entitled,The Story of Berwick 1786-1936. It was put together for the susquicentennial in 1936,I don't know what the original source is but the info is the same everywhere I've seen it. * It appears that the history of most of lower Luzerne County has a strong connection to the founding of Berwick. [[Owen-5707|Evan Owen]],a Scottish born Quaker had made a couple of trips and had bought land in the present day area of Bloomsburg before being called into service in the Revolutionary War. After the war he sold the land downriver and bought land further North,near where the Nescopeck Creek enters the Susquehanna. It's stated in earlier histories of the area that he bought as much as 3000 acres,some of that being in [[Space:Nescopeck%2CLuzerne_Co%2CPa|Nescopeck Twp]] on the south side of the Susquehanna at a price of 29 cents per acre and began laying out the town of Berwick,surveying the surrounding area and selling land to people looking for a new home. * In 1787 [[Owen-5707|Owen]] went to the state legislature and petitioned the legislature to survey an overland route from Lehighton to the Nescopeck Falls{{Image|file=Berwick_Pennsylvania_One_Place_Study.jpg |caption=Letter to state legislature pt 1 }}{{Image|file=Berwick_Pennsylvania_One_Place_Study-1.jpg |caption=2nd part of April 1787 letter to PA state legislature }} * the project was given the go ahead and after completing the survey Owen was put in charge of building the road. It appears that,as work was completed,the area was settled fairly quickly,the valley that is now Butler,Sugarloaf and Black Creek started seeing settlers around or just before 1800 and the valley on the north side of the Nescopeck Mountain shortly after. * Settlers had been moving into the area of [[Space:Nescopeck%2CLuzerne_Co%2CPa|Nescopeck Township]] along the Nescopeck Creek,closer to the river and near the present day location of the village of Nescopeck not long after 1786,more detail on that can be found [[Space:Nescopeck%2CLuzerne_Co%2CPa|here]],those settlers appear to have came by the Reading route,possibly either to Northumberland and then following the Susquehanna north or some came by an overland route to Catawissa and then north by river. John and [[Brown-81305|Robert Brown]]] and their families were the first to settle in the town of Berwick,it looks like they also came about 1786,by the end of 1786 there were 7 families living in Berwick. * Owens Road was completed in 1805 and in 1818 a bridge was built over the Susquehanna river and a road was built north to Tioga,another road was built along the river from Sunbury to Wilkes Barre,between the roads and the canal which was built in 1825 it put Berwick on a pretty busy crossroads. * Another interesting fact that I've read, Berwick and [[Space:Nescopeck%2CLuzerne_Co%2CPa|Nescopeck Township]] were on the outskirts of the Yankee/Pennemite war. The Yankees,settlers from Connecticut had claimed the land that is now Luzerne County,the Penns were trying to get people interested in to moving into the same area. One account that I've read stated that Evan Owen stopped where he did because of resistance from Yankees that were living in what is now [[Space:Salem_Twp%2CLuzerne_Co%2CPa|Salem Township]] in Luzerne county which is also presently East Berwick. Another account stated that even after the land dispute was settled that there was still some distrust for a while between the people in Berwick and Salem Township. == First Businesses == == Notable Businesses == *[[Space:Jackson_and_Woodin_Manufacturing/ACF_Berwick| Jackson and Wooden/ACF Berwick]] *[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplex_(automobile) Crispin Multiplex Manufacturing] *[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wise_Foods Wise Potato Chips/Wise Foods] ==Notable People== *[[Woodin-195|William Wooden]] == Cemeteries == *[[Space:Pine_Grove_Cemetery_%28Market_Street%29|Pine Grove Market St]] *[[Space:Pine_Grove_Cemetery_%28Walnut_Street%29|Pine Grove Walnut St]] *[[Space:Roselawn_Cemetery|Roselawn]] *[[Space:Saints_Cyril_and_Methodius_Ukrainian_Cemetery|St Cyril & Methodius Russian & Ukrainian]] == Briar Creek Twp cemeteries == *[[Space:Old_Stone_Methodist_Church|Old Stone Church]] *[[Space:Briar_Creek_Union_Cemetery|Briar Creek Union]] == Salem Township == *[[Space:Salem_Twp%2CLuzerne_Co%2CPa|Salem Twp]] is a seperate municipality in Luzerne Co,because of it's close proximity to Berwick it's as close to a suburb as you'll find in the area. == Sources for local records == *[http://www.pagenweb.org/~columbia/ Columbia Co Genweb] *[http://www.pagenweb.org/~columbia/marrmain.htm marriage announcements from Columbia Democrat],Columbia Co genweb == Susquehanna and Tioga Turnpike == *[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susquehanna_and_Tioga_Turnpike Wikipedia] *[https://colcohist-gensoc.org/wp-content/uploads/susquehanna_and_tioga_turnpike.pdf Another account ot the turnpike] *[https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Shiner-72 Andrew Shiner is credited with work on both the Susquehanna and Tioga and Lusane to Nescopeck Turnpike] == Local shortline railroads == *[[Space:Local_railroads%2CNescopeck%2CBerwick_and_Bloomsburg|local shortline railroads]] == Connecticut claims to Pennsylvania territory/Yankee Pennemite war == *[https://connecticuthistory.org/the-susquehanna-settlers/ Connecticut History] == Berwick Specific Attractions == *[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Run_for_the_Diamonds Wikipedia/Run for the Diamonds] *[http://www.runfordiamonds.com Run for the Diamonds website] *[https://www.facebook.com/BerwickRiverfest/ Riverfest on Facebook] *[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackson_Mansion_and_Carriage_House Wikipedia/Jackson Mansion] *[https://www.berwickhistoricalsociety.org/bhso-Jackson%20Mansion-9.htm Berwick Historical Society/Jackson Mansion] *[http://www.berwickchristmasblvd.com/ Berwick Christmas Boulevard] *[http://www.bringstuiehome.org/Bring_Stuie_Home%21/Welcome.html Stuart Tank Memorial Assoc/WWII weekend] == Area Attractions == *[https://www.bloomsburgfair.com/ Bloomsburg Fair] *[http://www.knoebels.com/ Knoebels] *[http://www.billsbikebarn.com/ Bills Old Bike Barn] *[http://www.luzernecountyfair.com/#main Luzerne County Fair] *[http://m.dcnr.state.pa.us/StateParks/ParkDetail?ICSORG=6417 Ricketts Glen SP] *[http://m.dcnr.state.pa.us/StateParks/ParkDetail?ICSORG=6432 Nescopeck SP] *[http://www.poconoraceway.com/ Tricky Triangle] *[https://www.briggsfarm.com/ Briggs Farm Blues Festival] *[http://www.countryfolkstore.com/ Country Folk]

Benestede (Binstead) is an easy village to pass straight through on your way from Newport to Ryde. Binstead was originally recorded in 1086 in the Domesday Book as Benestede and was known for the quality of its limestone. These Limestone quarries were exploited on a large scale at least from the 11th century onwards. They were more or less worked out before the end of the Middle Ages and hence it is difficult to establish a precise location for the original quarries. https://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/archives/view/stones_ahrb_2005/cfm/Public/details/QuarryDetails.cfm?Quarrycode=BNST&BCnt=1&Choice=5 Stone pits can be seen on the 1866 O.S.

The remnants of this ancient quarrying industry are still visible today in the village’s landscape and place names. : Nearby Quarr abbey took its name from the quarry to the east of it.

Mulley's Cove and even Small Point were sometimes included as well although Mulley's Cove was sometimes also referred to as "Little Blackhead". ===History=== 1700 to 1750 * Gill: James Gill is recorded in the Colonial Office Secretary Book in September 1753 as as a resident of Blackhead. It is not clear if this is Blackhead Northshore of the Blackhead near St John's. *Moores: Thomas Moores is the start of the Moores family line in Blackhead Newfoundland. He had a fishing Room in Blackhead where he was recorded in the summer of 1708 (CO Newfoundland Fishing census for 1708). His winter residence was likely Freshwater where he had a plantation. Both the Blackhead and Freshwater properties are noted in his will of 1754 in the Wimborne Court records. He gave his plantation in Freshwater to his son John and his Blackhead property to his son Jonathan. Thomas returned to Wimborne Dorset after 1722 (last date Thomas was supplied by Boston Merchant, Thomas Ruck, see Ruck fonds, Newfoundland Archives, The Rooms) where he lived on King St (also noted in his will). Jonathan is the first Moores in Blackhead. Family link: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Moores-327 * Nicole (Nicholle): Noe (Noah) Nicole had married, Ann Thistle, the widow of William Thacker of Western Bay. They were in Blackhead before 1734. That year Noe was coming back from Jersey and wrote a will naming his wife, who was still in Newfoundland as executor. They had no children together. The will states that he had a plantation in Blackhead. The will was not proved until 1742 when Ann sent it to Jersey to be probated. What happened to the property in Blackhead? Ann remarried Richard Mullens after Noe's death and moved to the Thacker property she had inherited in Western Bay. At this time, Blackhead included the communities we now know as Broad Cove and Mulley's Cove and perhaps Adam's Cove. Since we do not know for sure where his plantation was, the family is included in the Blackhead one place study. Noe's profile starts here. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Nicolle-461 In the 19th Century an Edward Nichole and wife Margaret were living in Blackhead. The link between the early Nicholes and Edward is not known Edwards profile is here https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Nichole-13&errcode=new_profile * Pippy: The first Pippy in Blackhead may have been Philip Pippy Sr. A Philip Pippy was at the bedside of John LeGrow in 1773. He may have been in Blackhead as early as 1754 when Mary and Edward Janes named their second son Philip P(ippy?). Janes. Philip would have been in the same generation as George Pippy of Harbor Grace who was born about 1739 and died there possibly 1790. The Blackhead Pippys and the Harbour Grace Pippys may have been related. Perhaps Philip and George were brothers. While birth and death records confirm there were two families, they are often jumbled together into one. For example the Blackhead Peter Peter who was born in 1783 and died there in 1859 is confused with the Peter Pippy born 1758 and died at Harbour Grace in 1832. The Blackhead Pippy profile begins with Philip Pippy Sr. of Blackhead. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Pippy-49 Thacker: A William Thacker was in Carbornear about 1685. And on Little Belle Island about 1703 where he was stationed to defend Carbonear against the French. William and his brother Thomas fished out of Blackhead. William may have met Ann Thistle there where the Thistles had a large plantation in Little Blackhead (later Mulley's Cove). They married in the early 1700s. After William died about 1730 Ann next married Noe Nicolle of Blackhead and then Richard Mullens of Western Bay. Ann moved to Western Bay to Richards plantation. Ann and Richard had no children and Ann's children by William Thacker inherited the Western Bay plantation. Williams brother, Thomas, seems to have remained in Blackhead into the 1750s where he and his wife, Ann Boudier Thacker were recorded as living in Feb 1759 in records held by the Cour du Samedi of Jersey (pages 421-422). The Thacker profiles start here. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Thacker-2649 1750-1800 *Brehaut: (Breho): Henry Brehaut was in Blackhead by 1761 when he cleared land. His son, Henry, and family moved to PEI. In Blackhead there is a branch of the Moores family that is referred to as the Moores / Brehos Suggesting a Brehaut daughter may have married a Moores son. The porfile starts with Henry Brehaut Sr. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Brehaut-39 * Butts: Thomas Butt was likely born in Broad Cove, the son of William who arrived there in 1750. He moved to Blackhead after he had married a Blackhead girl and received property from his mother-in-law. Thomas' brother-in-law, Edward Lawrence shared the property with him. Thomas also leased property from Augustin Le Rossignol. The family information can be found at https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Butt-455 * Hudson: Matthew Hudson settled in Blackhead and inherited property there from his father. This branch of the Hudsons likely stems from the Adam's Cove Hudsons *Lawrence: Edward Lawrence moved to Blackhead when he married a Blackhead girl and received property from his mother-in-law. Edward's brother-in-law, Thomas Butt shared the property with him. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Lawrence-19820 *Le Rossignol: Augustin Le Rossignol of Jersey was on the Northshore by the 1720s and held properties in Western Bay and Blackhead. Before 1761 when he cleared land in Blackhead, he may have lived in Western Bay. We know that members of Augustin's family were in Newfoundland before 1768 when his son Edward appears in court records. By the time of the Plantation Book there is little evidence that the family lived permanently in Newfoundland. However, Augustin's sons Augustin Jr, Phillipe and Edward were ship captains that regularly carried goods between Jersey and Newfoundland. Details on the family can be found at https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/LeRossignol-2 *Moran: John Moran married a local girl and got property from his mother-in-law in 1806. However he was likely in Blackhead before this date. https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Moran-6373&errcode=new_profile *Mulley: John Mulley (Mollet) moved to Blackhead from Mulley's Cove when he got a plantation there from his father-in-law after he married before 1776. The John Mulley family starts with this link: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Mulley-253 *Parsons: Joseph Parsons was fishing at Blackhead in the summer of 1708 with his wife 4 children and 2 skiffs, which was recorded by the Census of that year. The Parsons were an old family who had settled in Clown's Cove (CO 1 census for 1675, 1676 & 1677). In 1768 William Parsons was in Blackhead with the intention of establishing a plantation on the southside of Blackhead. Perhaps this is the property the Parsons held in 1708. In September of that year his building was blocked by Joseph Yabsley. William went to court ( Colonial Office Secretary Letter Book for Sept 30 1768 #123.) The Court ruled that, William Parsons is not to be obstructed by Joseph Yeabsley or anyone else in building fishing works at Blackhead. And noted that enclosures or fences to meadows or gardens are not considered fishing works." * Whelan (Whalen Whealon: David Whelan arrived in Blackhead about 1766 when he leased 1 meadow of John Mulley (Sr.) of Broad Cove (likely part of Mulley's Cove that borders Broad Cove) who cut it out of woods. He purchased property in Broad Cove in 1766. HIs profile can be found in the Broad Cove One Place Study. *Yabsley: Joseph Yabsley was in Blackhead by 1768 when he is recorded in the Colonial Office Secretary Letters in a Blackhead property dispute with William Parsons. He and wife Elizabeth had only one child who married Thomas Moores. She inherited her father's plantation.

The origin likely came into being about 400 years prior to the Hunter-Blair dynasty. Most of the history of Blairquhan is well known and well written about, but there is one unknown factor that remains elusive. And that is how did the name Blairquhan evolve? The answer could not be found in any current written or online information. The following are some possible scenarios that might hold the key: A. We do not know much about Sir Thomas Kennedy of Dalmortoun other than the fact that he bought the 'Lands of Dalelachane' from the original owners. One thought is that he renamed his new property 'Blairquhan' based on the Scots-Blair / Gaelic-Blar connotation which signifies a "plain", "meadow" or "field", frequently a “battlefield”. ''Note: Without verification, it is the opinion of this OPS manager that Sir Thomas was the individual that named his new property acquisition 'Blairquhan'.'' B. It is believed that Sir John Kennedy (1382-1473) (later 1st of Blairquhan) was married because he had a son (later, the 2nd of Blairquhan), but there is no valid information as to whom Sir John married. Family Search says he married (Mrs. John Kennedy (1386-XXXX)) in 1405. Did he marry a relation of Sir Thomas and acquired Blairquhan through marriage? Or did he and his new spouse rename the property, and John then styled himself the 1st of Blairquhan? C. Another case would be that there was the Blair family (also called the Blair's of Blair) of Ayrshire who might have bought the "Lands of Dalelachane' from Sir Thomas and renamed it Blairquhan. They may also have had a daughter who married Sir John and that couple renamed the property from the the "Lands of Dalelachane' to Blairquhan. It is a known fact that the Blairs did marry some Kennedy's, but no connection could be found in any currently available information. So you see that there are various possible ways that the name Blairquhan came about and more research is needed to determine the correct path the name took.

The entire land was then acquired by Sir Thomas Kennedy the Lord of Dalmortoun in 1385 from nearby in the same general area. Sir John Kennedy (1382-1473) acquired Blairquhan in the early 1400's through marriage and became the 1st (Laird) of Blairquhan. The Whitefoord family acquired the estate in the early 1600's but had to sell it following the Ayr bank crash of 1772 when the family lost most their savings. Sir David Hunter Blair, 3rd Baronet bought the estate in 1798. He eventually built a new structure (today's castle) between 1820 and 1824 in the Tudor Revival style to the plans of noted Scottish architect William Burn (1789-1870) which was one of his early commissions. Previous designs prepared by J. Gillespie Graham in 1814 and Robert Wallace in 1818 were not implemented. The house was built slightly to the south of an earlier fortified building and incorporates features of 1576 within the kitchen courtyard. The 21st century saw the estate under pressure from debts and taxes. The Hunter-Blair family sold paintings and art works, which brought in a few million, but eventually Blairquhan Castle and 670 acres of the estate went on the market for £4.85 million. In 2012 Sir Patrick David Hunter-Blair, 9th Baronet, sold Blairquhan to Ganten Scotland, a subsidiary of a Chinese bottling company. === Families of the Castle === Love, Dane - Ayrshire, Discovering A County, Fort Publishing, 2003Blairquhan Castle; https://www.blairquhan.co.ukClan Hunter; http://www.clanhunter.comWikitree; https://www.wikitree.com/Google; History of McWherter Family; https://www.mcwherter.com/Wire Strung harps; https://www.wirestrungharp.comPeople of Medieval Scotland 1093 - 1371; https://www.poms.ac.ukRoots Web; http://freepages.rootsweb.comRampant Scotland; http://www.rampantscotland.com/Whitefoord; http://whiteford.itgo.comWikipedia; https://en.wikipedia.orgRed Books of Scotland; http://redbookofscotland.co.uk/Family Search; https://ancestors.familysearch.org/en/LHVC-7GS/john-kennedy-1st-of-blairquhan-1382-1473 Over the centuries there has been four families who owned and occupied the Blairquhan lands. The following is a summary of some but not all members of these families. They are listed here as reference only to their respective families. '''''MacChruiter (later var. McWhirter)''''' The first written records of the MacChruiters appear in 1190, where they are referenced as the hereditary harpers of the Carricks (the Mac Citharistes) which were a sept of the Clan Buchanan. The hereditary Citharistes (Harp players) of Carrick seem a likely origin for the surname MacWhirter (MacChruiter) in the Earldom of Carrick (later Ayrshire). The MacWhirter surname is an Anglicized form of the Gaelic “Mac Chruiteir,” a patronymic created from the occupational byname “Cruiteir,” or “a player of the crwth,” a musical instrument that figures prominently in the name’s early history. Early versions of the name would likely have used the Scottish 'Mac' patronymic but over time the frequency of the spellings using the 'Mc' variant became dominant. Variations of MacWhirter (also spelled McWherter and Macwherter, MacWherter) are Anglicisations of the Scottish Gaelic MacChruiteir, meaning "son of the harpist or fiddler", originating from M’Churterr. Less common forms of this Scottish name, MacWhorter and McWhorter, McQuarter, McQuirter, McGruder, and McCarter are found in North America. Michael ‘the Harper’ of Carrick (Michaelis Cithariste de Carryk) had settled the lands of Dalelachane in 'Ballemontyrcowyltane' in the Earldom of Carrick (Ayr) and had two son's named Andrew (1st heir) and Patrick (2nd heir). Andrew inherited and resigned the land of 'Dalelachane' in the tenement of 'Ballemontyrcowyltane' (AYR) before certain nobles of the kingdom at Ayr on the 23 May 1344. On 6 May 1346 King David II (1324-1371) granted a charter to Patrick (2nd heir) to own the land previously held by his brother Andrew. Patrick proceeded to build the first tower house here in this year. In 1385, Patrick MacChruiteir's son and heir Duncan MacChruiteir sold the whole lands of Dalelachane to Sir Thomas Kennedy, Lord of Dalmortoun for twelve cows and their calves. Family Members: '''Michael MacChruiter ''' ‘the Harper’ of Carrick '''Andrew MacChruiter''' '''Patrick MacChruiter''' '''Duncan MacChruiter''' '''''Kennedy''''' Members of the Scots Kennedy family already owned a vast amount of property in the Carrick district of Ayrshire, some titled Kennedy of Dunure, Kennedy of Cassillis, and Kennedy of Culzean, so their history is long and came further into to the picture when John Kennedy (1382-1473), the 4th son of Gilbert Kennedy (1348-aft.1408) and Agnes Maxwell (1353-1414), acquired the estate through marriage in 1405. He would be styled the 1st (Laird) of Blairquhan. Descendants of John (the 1st of Blairquhan through John the 7th of Blairquhan) held and used the estate for their respective homes. Family Members: '''Sir John Kennedy''', 1st of Blairquhan (1382-1473) '''Sir John Kennedy''', 2nd of Blairquhan (1420-bef.1471) '''John Kennedy''', 3rd of Blairquhan (bef.1450-abt.1500) '''John Kennedy''', 4th of Blairquhan (bef.1475-bef.1515) '''Gavin Kennedy''', 5th of Blairquhan (bef.1484-abt.1522) '''James Kennedy''', 6th of Blairquhan (abt.1490-bef.1558) '''Sir Gilbert "5th Lord" Kennedy''', 3rd Earl of Cassilis (1515-1558), (son of James, 6th of Blairquhan) (above), was father of John 7th of Blairquhan (below). '''Sir John Kennedy''', 7th of Blairquhan (1541-1605) son of Sir Gilbert (above) ''' Sir Rev. Thomas Kennedy''' of Culzean (1543-1602), brother of Sir John, 7th of Blairquhan, 2nd son of Sir Gilbert (above) '''James Kennedy''' (1578-1637), 1st son of Sir Rev. Thomas ''' Rev. John Kennedy''' (1580-XXXX), 2nd son of Sir Rev. Thomas, brother of James (above). ''Note: Without validation, the following summary is assumed:'' ''Sir John Kennedy, 7th of Blairquhan (1541-1605) had a brother Rev. Sir Thomas Kennedy (1543-1602) who had two sons James (1578-1637) and John (1580-XXXX). Sir Rev. Thomas Kennedy (1543-1602) died in 1602. Sir John (7th) left Blairquhan to his nephew Rev. John Kennedy (1580-XXXX) (2nd son of Rev. Sir Thomas). Rev. John Kennedy (1580-XXXX) sold the estate to brother James Kennedy (1578-1637) (1st son of Rev. Sir Thomas). In a legal dispute during the mid to late 1620s, the Kennedy's lost possession of Blairquhan to the Whitefoords of Ballochmyle. However the Kennedy's managed to remain in residence until well into the middle of the 17th century when they conceded defeat to the Whitefoord's. '''''Whitefoord''''' Following the legal dispute with the Kennedy's and having finally gained vacant possession of Blairquhan, Sir John Whitefoord rented it to the McAdams of Lagwyne, parents of the famous road improver John Loudon McAdam (1756-1836), inventor of tar-macadam. The Whitefoords of Blairquhan, in the County of Ayr, are descended from a younger son of the Whitefoords of that Ilk, who took up residence in the Ayrshire with his brother, Abbot of Crossraugel, during the reign of King James IV, who designed them Heritable Coroners of the jurisdiction of Carrick. They intermarried, at various periods, with many eminent northern houses -- Blair of that Ilk, Kennedy of Ardmillan, Cathcart of Carnock, and Inglis of Sheel. As the family grew in power and reputation and acquired considerable estates. They married into more powerful families like Semple, Somerville and Houston. They obtained substantial lands in Ayr and were hereditary coroners of Carrick. James Whitefoord married a daughter of Sir Bryce Blair of that Ilk, and their son, Adam, was created a Baronet in 1701.

The Sir John Whitefoord, 3rd Baronet was badly affected by his investment in, and collapse of the Ayrshire bank in 1769. Although they retained Blairquhan at the time, he was eventually forced to sell it in 1798 to Sir David Hunter Blair, 3rd Baronet (1778-1857). '''''Hunter-Blair''''' In 1798, David Hunter Blair (1778-1857), 3rd Baronet bought Blairquhan from Sir John Whitefoord (1734-1803) , 3rd Baronet. David also inherited the baronetcy in 1800 when his elder brother John died, and after marrying a niece of the Marquess of Tweedale, he and his family took up part time residency at Blairquhan, but he did not take up full residence there until after a major expansion of the building that he commissioned was completed in 1824. Today, the castle is largely as he created it, including all of the original furniture. The double-barrelled name arose from David Hunter, a son of a landed Ayrshire family, and Jean Blair, the daughter and heiress of John Blair of Dunskey in Wigtownshire.

'''Blairquhan Bridge''' Was also designed by William Burn. The Old Bridge of Blairquhan, at the east entrance of the estate, is a single arch, stone, hump-back bridge, possibly of the 18th century. The New Bridge, on the straightened section of road to Straiton, was built in 1820. '''Dool Tree''' The Dool Tree or gallows tree was planted early in the 16th century during the reign of King James V of Scotland. The once-spreading crown was heavily pruned in 1997, saving the much-weakened trunk from total collapse. '''The Glass House''' The Glasshouse was built in 1820. '''Ice House''' A well-preserved early 19th century barrel-vaulted ice house lies to the east of the stables.As with most ice houses, it is built on raised,sloping ground near a source of ice, in this case the Garden Pond and a stretch of the Water of Girvan known as the Icehouse Pool. It was renovated in 1997. '''Kennels''' The kennels date from the late 18th century '''Stables''' The stables were also designed by William Burn. They have recently been converted into three holiday flats and a house for estate staff. '''The Walled Garden''' The walled garden was designed by John Tweedie, who came to work at Blairquhan in1816. The bricks for the walls were fired on the estate. It is unusual in having only three walls,the fourth being unnecessary because of rising ground to the south. Flues within the main wall allowed fires to be lit to protect the fruit trees from frost. === Memorials === Historic Environment Scotland; http://portal.historicenvironment.scot '''Colonel Hunter Blair''' ( 1817-1854) monument on Craigengower Hill.

The Mac Carthaigh Mor's (as Kings of Desmond and its successors) were well established in this area of County Cork as far back as the 1100’s through the 1200’s, and it’s likely that they occupied the first wooden dwelling which was used as a hunting lodge and on the same site of the current castle as well as the 1st stone 4 storey keep (c.1210). About the 1300’s, cadet branches from the Desmond dynasty evolved, those being MacCarthy Reagh of Carbery, MacCarthy of Muskerry, and MacDonough MacCarthy of Duhallow where the leaders of each became Lords of their own territory. The Lords of Muskerry are known to have been a substantial part of the history of their area and likely occupied the 1st keep (c.1210) and eventually the (1446) keep as well. Therefore this OPS focuses on the Lords of Muskerry started by Diarmait (Dermod Mór) MacCarthy (1310-1368) 1st Lord of Muskerry who held extensive land holdings in the (now) castle area. By the middle of the 15th century, the 1st keep (c.1210) had reached the end of its inhabitable life and was replaced by the current 5 storey keep in stone by Cormac Láidir MacCarthy (1411-1494) 9th Lord of Muskerry on the same site in 1446. '''A LORD VS. A QUEEN = BLARNEY''' It’s not known if the early wooden dwelling and 1st or 2nd stone keeps had a name designation originally, but legend has it that the name 'blarney' came after an interaction with a queen. One resource states that the parapet and battlements at the top of the keep were not added until the late 1500's to early1600's. If this is true then the term ‘blarney' was born during the realm of the Cormac mac Diarmada MacCarthy, (1552-1616) 16th Lord of Muskerry after his interaction with Queen Elizabeth I (1533-1603) who had a desire to buy the castle and property, but the Lord kept stalling her to the point that she declared that the “Lords talk was just all blarney (gift of gab) and that he never means what he says”. After that, it's highly likely that Charles MacCarthy''' (1565-1641) 17th Lord of Muskerry added the battlements, parapet, whixh included the stone at the top of the castle in 1616, and that's how the stone and the castle got their name(s). ===LORDS OF MUSKERRY=== MacCarthy Family; https://mccarthyfamily.netWikitree; https://www.wikitree.comWikipedia; https://en.wikipedia.orgLibrary Ireland; https://www.libraryireland.comIrish Geneaology; Irish Genealogy; https://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ieFamily Search; https://www.familysearch.org '''''Note: Available resources vary from one to the other with regards to the title numbering system as well as birth/death dates, and some family members have no record at all.'''''

To kiss the stone one has to lay on their back and kiss facing the stone above ones head. Not an easy feat, but an experience to be sure if you can first conquer the 125 narrow steps leading up to the stone. Oh, and if you have a fear of heights or vertigo, this probably isn't for you! Through extensive testing in 2014, geologists confirmed that the stone was sourced from 330 million-year-old limestone and that it couldn't have come from England — molecular samples proved the rock was actually native to southern Ireland. '''''Note: There are numerous legends as to how the stone came into existence as noted below''.''' "One legend is that after the battle of Bannockburn, Scotland's King Robert I (aka Robert the Bruce) gave one half of the 'Stone of Scone' (aka The Stone of Destiny) to the MacCarthy's for their support in that battle." "A second one is that it's a piece of the “Stone of Destiny” used in the inauguration ceremonies of the Scottish kings. Robert the Bruce sent the stone to Ireland to be used by his brother Edward in securing his status as High King of Ireland." "A third was that it was the Lia Fáil—a magical stone upon which Irish kings were crowned." "Another legend is that was the stone used by Jacob as a pillow when he dreamed of the ladder extending up to heaven with angels ascending and descending on it, and that it was brought from the Holy Land after the Crusades by Jerimiah." "Yet another is that Cormac McTaidhg Láidir MacCarthy, saved a witch from drowning in a river. As a thank you she told him to kiss the magic stone at the top of the castle and great things would happen to him." "The most elaborate and romantic legend concerns the Queen of the Fairies in south Munster, who was the beautiful daughter of a leading druid. She fell in love with a gallant young chieftain who broke her heart by not returning her love. He was killed in battle, and she found his body on a stone on the banks of the river lee. His blood had soaked into the stone. There she grieved, her tears joining his blood in the stone which she continually kissed. This caused her magical powers to be absorbed by the stone itself. Cormac Láidir MacCarthy, being troubled by some intransigent problem, was advised by the Queen of the Fairies that this stone, on which she had wept, had been built into his castle and that if he kissed it his difficulties would be resolved." No matter what legend one goes by, kissing the stone is a must do event if you ever visit the castle, after that, you will talk your head off! And if you opt not to kiss the stone, at least there is a great countryside view from the top. === BLARNEY HOUSE === c.1874 Blarney Castle; https://blarneycastle.ieIrish Historic Houses; https://irishhistorichouses.com/The Architect article, August 21, 1875 Irish architect John Lanyon of the Belfast, Northern Ireland architectural firm Lanyon, Lynn and Lanyon designed this mansion in the Scots Baronial style with stepped gables and a turret, along with a Neoclassical pillared porch. The masonry was built by the Mr. Dixon, of Belfast. Blarney House itself is styled after Belfast Castle by the same architect. The house is located only about 300 yards from the castle, and was the ancestral home of the Jefferyes and Colthrust families. It was originally built for Louisa Jane Jefferyes Colthrust (1825-1915) in 1874 to replace the first family home that burned down in1870 which was attached to the castle keep itself. The surrounding gardens and parkland are a feast for the eyes in itself, well worth the stroll. The house is open to visitors during the summer months. No interior photography allowed. === VISITING TODAY === Travel and Leisure magazine; https://www.travelandleisure.comIreland; https://www.ireland.com '''Banquet Hall''' Used to serve lavish meals to the Lords and their families by the servants.

The name comes from the term 'Murder Hole' which was a hole in the room which was located just above the main castle entryway. When an undesirable person showed up at the entryway, the murder hole was used to drop rocks and hot oil on them by the sentry in the room above. === NOTABLE PEOPLE === Wikitree; https://www.wikitree.com/John O'Hart, Irish PedigreesWikipedia; https://en.wikipedia.org/Family Search; https://www.familysearch.org '''Diarmait (Dermod Mór) MacCarthy''' (1310-1368) 1st Lord of Muskerry Born: Munster, Ireland Died: Munster, Ireland Resting Place: Unknown Bio Summary: First in line of the MacCarthy Lords, but was slain by the O'Mahony clan.

The Parish also includes the hamlet of Enslow. Recorded in the Domesday Book as Blecesdone, it did not receive the name Bletchington until the 19th century when the railway station at Enslow received the name. In 1086 the manor was held by Robert D’Oyly and his tenant was Gilbert. As an ancestor of Roger d”Amory, Gilbert and descendants was the Lord until he died in prison in 1322. Godstow Abbey was bestowed 50 acres in 1139 and held it until the Dissolution on the Monasteries in 1539. Osney Abbey had been granted land by Ralph d’Amory in 1187 and by 1291 thanks to other benefactors, it was assessed as part of the Hampton Gay estate. By the 14th century, Roger d’Amory and his wife Elizabeth de Clare were the main inhabitants of the manor house. It was claimed that Oliver Cromwell had used it as his headquarters during the English Civil War but not substantiated. The main church in the parish is Saint Giles. The names associated with the building of the church include Charles Buckeridge, Robert and William Cor. St. Giles’ parish now includes the parishes of Chesterton Hampton Gay, Kirlington, Middleton Stoney, Wendlebury and Weston-on-the Green. Sources: Wikipedia - Ekwall, Eilert (1960) [1936].

Blue Hill is a town in Hancock County. The area that now comprises Blue Hill was known as Kolledgewidgwock [Kollegewidgwok] by the natives. It was first settled in 1762 by Captain Joseph Wood and John Roundy from Andover, Massachusetts, who built homes on Mill Island at the tidal falls. It would then be called Newport Plantation. Land grants where made in 1762 naming 6 townships of 6 square miles each. Township No. 5 East of Penobscot River is the area that became Blue Hill on January 30, 1789, named after its commanding summit overlooking the region. * Parent Page: [[Space:Hancock_County%2C_Maine|'''Hancock County ''']] * Blue Hill, Maine [[:Category:Blue_Hill%2C_Maine |''' Category page''']] *[[Special:Whatlinkshere/Space:Blue Hill, Maine One Place Study|WikiTree Profiles that link here]] {| class="wikitable" border="1" | scope="col" align="center" style="width: 80px; background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Date''' | scope="col" align="center" style="width: 270px; background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Designation''' | scope="col" align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Note''' |- | -1534|| Kolledgewidgwock|| Wabanaki peoples - the Penobscot tribe |- | 1534-1760||Nouvelle France||Under French control, no known European settlers |- |1760||unorganized territory

      Union soldiers in the war of the Rebellion, 196 ; State aid, $3,038 ; town bounty, $17,995 ; cost per recruit, $102. Varney's '''''Gazetteer of the state of Maine''''' has the following:
      '''Blue Hill''' is situated on Union River Bay, in the southwestern part of Hancock County. It is 14 miles S. S. W. of Ellsworth, and 36 miles from Bangor, and is on the stage-lines from Bucksport to Sedgewick and from Castine to Ellsworth. Surry bounds it on the north-east, Penobscot on the north-west, Brooksville and Sedgewick on the south-west. On the south-east are the waters of Union River Bay, from which Blue Hill Bay pushes up into the town. The name, Blue Hill, comes from a commanding elevation of land near the center of the town. The ascent begins at the shore of the bay, continuing in a gradual ascent for about a mile, and thence is quite abrupt to the huge mass of rock which forms the top. The height above high water is 950 feet,—so that the hill affords extended and charming views on every side. It was formerly covered with trees—principally evergreens— which, at a distance, gave a very dark blue tint,—whence its name. The soil of Blue Hill is clay loam and gravel. The principal rock is granite. There are also extensive deposits of manganese and limestone. Other minerals found in town are fluor spar, iron ore, copper ore, gold, lead ore in a form of galena, wolfram, the ore of tin, hydrate of silica, used in the making of fire-proof brick, phosphate of lime, etc. The town has an excellent quality of granite, of which at some times large quantity have been quarried. In 1876, these quarries afforded employment for 30 yoke of oxen and 300 laborers. East River Bridge, at New York, was constructed of Blue Hill granite. At the present time there are also 22 mining and smelting companies owning territory in the town.
      Mclleard's, Norris, First, Second, Third and Fourth are the principal ponds, being from half a mile to a mile in diameter. The outlets of these ponds furnish power for several small saw and gristmills. One of the bridges, constructed of wood and granite, is 200 feet in length.
      Blue Hill was first settled in 1762 near " Fire Falls," where Blue Hill Bay communicates with a salt-water pond. The pioneers were Capt. Joseph Wood and John Roundy. The third family in town was formed by the marriage of Capt. Wood's daughter with Col. Parker, who had served at the siege of Louisburg. The family of Samuel Foster was the fourth, and the next were Col. Nicholas Holt, Ezekiel Osgood, and Nehemiah Hinkley. The first child, Jonathan Darling, was born in 1765 ; the second child, Edith Wood, in 1766. Several citizens of Blue Hill served in the Revolutionary war. Christopher Osgood, one of the first settlers, was at the battle of Bunker Hill. Nehemiah Hinkley served through the war, and was honorably discharged at West Point. The town furnished 196 soldiers to the Union army during the Rebellion, and paid out in bounties $17,995. Among the notable citizens of a later period, but now deceased, were John Peters, Eben Floyd, Nathan Ellis, and Andrew Witham. There are several residents above eighty years of age, and one over ninety.
      The township was first known as "Number 5." The plantation name was " Newport. It was incorporated as a town in 1789. A Congregational church was formed in 1772, and a Baptist church in 1806. There is now an additional Baptist church, at East Blue Hill. The first post-office was established in 1795. Jonathan Fisher was the settled minister from 1796 to 1837. He, was somewhat eccentric, but a worthy minister. Blue Hill Academy was incorporated in 1803, being endowed by a grant of one half of Number 23, in Washington county. This property was sold in 1806, for $6,252. The academy has a library of about 500 volumes. The income from the fund (now about $5,000) and tuition fees sustain instruction for about half the year.

There was a small settlement at Ocean Beach. It is claimed that Ruapuke Island in the Foveaux Strait had a population of up to 2000 at one time. O'Maui (within the present day Bluff ward)had Maori residents in the mid 1800's. Bluff served more often as a stopping point for Maori on their way to the Muttonbird Islands and local Maori asked for lodgings in Bluff for that purpose.

While the Bradley Family does not appear to have lived in the Cove full time, the name continues in use to this day. ===Geography=== :'''Continent:''' North America :'''Country:''' Canada :'''Province:''' Newfoundland Colony :'''District:''' Bay de Verde :'''GPS Coordinates:''' 47.88, -53.083 :'''Elevation:''' 25.0 m or 82.0 feet Bradley's Cove is southeast of Western Bay on the south side of a point that separates Western Bay from Bradley's Cove and north east of Adam's Cove. ===History=== In the early 1700s fishing families used the coves north of Carbonear as summer fishing stations. While no one at Bradley's Cove was recorded in the 1708 summer fishing census, Richard Dean, Thomas Moores and Joseph Parsons, all from the Carbonear area, were using the coves at Blackhead. William Bradley of Carbonear may have used this cove in other years or was simply not captured in the census of 1708. The exact date of permanent settlement is not known but sometime before 1750. ===18th Century Families=== There were only four documented families living in Bradley's cove by the time of the Plantation Book circa 1805: Butts, Crockers, King and Whealon. The Whealons and Crockers arrived after 1750 while the Butts and Kings likely moved to Bradley's Cove from Broad Cove when there is some evidence of marriage with to local girls later in the 18th century. *Butt: [[Butt-2027|William Butt]] moved to Bradley's Cove about 1785 most likely from Broad Cove, which is only about 2 miles along the coastal road. He settled there about 1785 or before after he married a local girl, Catherine Whealon, and was given property rent free by consent of his father-in-law. *Crocker: Crockers are another early family in Bradley's Cove. The senior [[Crocker-4533|William Crocker's]] first name is speculation. But we know that [[Crocker-4517|William Crocker (1766-1843)]], possibly junior, inherited property in Bradley's Cove from his mother in 1796. His father had died earlier. *King: [[King-55879|James King Sr]]. arrived in Bradley's Cove in 1773 when he cut property out of the woods. He may also have been from Broad Cove: one of the known sons of John and Sarah King of that place. *Whealon (Whelan, Whalen) [[Whelan-1829|William Whealon]] was in Bradley's Cove in 1756 and may be one of the first permanent settlers there. ==Sources==

Before that time it was generally included under Blackhead. Blackhead began as a geographic navigational reference long before it became an outport community. In the 1708 fishing census, Thomas Moores, Richard Dean and Joseph Parsons were at "Blackhead." However only Thomas Moores was fishing at the location which later became the name of that community. Both Richard Dean and Joseph Parsons were most likely had fishing stations in what would later be the community of Broad Cove. ===Geography=== :'''Continent:''' North America :'''Country:''' Canada :'''Province:''' Newfoundland Colony :'''District:''' Bay de Verde :'''GPS Coordinates:''' 47.840148377639274, -53.09754462329481 :'''Elevation:''' 5.0 m or 16.4 feet ===Founding Families=== With its wide cove and sandy beach, Broad Cove provided a good location for fishing which attracted the settlement of a large number of families as well as seasonal fishing. 1700-1750 * Baker & Mulcahy: An unknown possibly Thomas Baker was in Broad Cove before 1750. He was married to Tabitha. He left her his property in Broad Cove for her lifetime and then it was to go to Baker's children. Tabitha remarried a Mulcahy. While no Bakers were living in Broad Cove by 1805. One of the children may have been Thomas Baker who testified in Oct 1788 that he was acquainted with Broad Cove for 20 years (1768) (mannioncollection.ca) Thomas married Frances Shepherd the daughter of Martin Shepherd of Carbonier on Oct 15, 1776 in the Anglican Church of Harbour Grace. Another child may have been Eleanor who married Henry Janes and had a son Thomas Baker baptised in 1811. As late as 1805 when Tabitha recorded the property she lived on, her plantation continued to be called the Baker property. (Plantation Book) The Baker & Mulcahy family begins with Tabitha: https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Unknown-639297&errcode=new_profile * Janes (Jeans, Johns): Edward Janes arrived in Broad Cove before 1765 but the exact date is not known. From his headstone his name was originally Jeans but the name was anglized to Janes some time in the late 1700s His family start here with Edward: Edward:https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Janes-1964&errcode=new_profile * King: John and Sarah were in Broad Cove before 1750 when the community was known generally as Blackhead. There is some circumstantial evidence that the Kings of Carbonear may have been using the beach as a summer fishing stations before John settled permanently in Broad Cove. The evidence is from an agreement for a farm, Bothenwood in Dorset, that a John King leased with Thomas Moores and Richard Dean of Carbonear who were both fishing in Blackhead according to the fishing census of 1708. However this link need more evidence. Therefore the King family starts with John and Sarah King. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/King-57690 * Le Gros (Le Grow, Grow) Brothers, Jean (John) and Simeon (Simon) were in Broad Cove before 1756. We know this because Simon had property there before he died in 1756. It is possible their father, Jean Sr., had been in Broad Cove before the two brothers. A number of Le Gros of Jersey were involved in seafaring and at least one, Elias, was trading in Newfoundland in the first part of the 18th century (See Keith Matthews Name Files) A search of Jerripedia for parents who had both a Jean and a Simon found only one - Jean and Denize (Pallot) Le Grow of St. Mary Parish. The Le Gros family starts with them: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/LeGros-332 *Mairs: In 1766 James Mairs (Mayers, Mahers) sold property in Broad Cove to Morgan Hinchey. Not much is known about him. * Pike: Various Pikes have been recorded in the Broad Cove area but it is not certain if they actually lived there, held a fishing station or were land speculators. William Pike was a witness to the Will of John Hudson of Adam's Cove in 1748 (Canterbury court wills and probate). John Pike of Broad Cove is mentioned in court documents in 1749 (Colonial Office Secretary Letters). John Pike may be the same Pike who purchased property from Michael Mulley Sr and then sold it to a Mr Thistle and Mr Juer. Michael Mulley Jr. was able to buy it back in 1765 (Colonial Office Secretary Letters for 1765). Finally in 1788 the four King brothers purchase a large plantation from Edward Pike, known as Pikes Room (Plantation Book) * Romerill/Rumsey: Francois Romerill arrived from Jersey sometime around 1750 and married a Thistle daughter, Catherine. Later the name was changed to Rumsey. HIs only son, Charles, took over his plantation after the death of his father in 1806. See https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Romerill-2 1750 - 1800 * Butt: William Butt may arrived at Broad Cove about 1750 at age 23 when he cleared land there. It is very likely he was from Crockers Cove / Carbonear where the Butt family had held property since before the 1675 the Census. His family starts at https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Butt-456 * Corbitt (Corbett) in 1776 Edward Corbitt cut property out of the woods. By 1805 the property was described as 57 yds. from S. to N. 65 yds. from E. to W. 2 Houses 1 Garden (Plantation Book) Not much information is known about him. * Dalton: Mary Dalton was the daughter of John Thistle. She married Matthew Dalton of Western Bay, When her father died in 1777 she and her sons inherited a small garden 43 yds. from S. to N. 32 yds. from E. to W. that they rented to Morgan Hinchey. (See Janes) * Dunn: Dennis Dunn purchased a land from Patrick Daley in 1795 3 plots 138 yards from S. to N. 63 yards from E. to West 3 Gardens and another from from John Gosse, Carbonear merchant, in 1800 204 yds. from E. to W. bounded on the E. by the Commons on the W. by the Kings and a rock marked F.G.C. 177 yds. from H.W.M. to the S.W. bounded on the S.W. by Wm. Thistle 1 S. 2 F. 3 H. 4 G. 1 Meadow. By 1805 he was also renting a third property from William Butt (Plantation Book) * Hinchey (Hingay Henchey): Morgan Hinchey was the first of that name to arrive in Broad Cove about 1760. Morgan may have remained in Broad Cove but members of the family moved to Northern Bay. https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Hinchey-197&errcode=saved * Noftle (Noftall, Noftel, Nofty): Peter Noftle may be the same Peter Noftle whos was born in Guernsey in 1746. He was in Broad Cove by 1783 when he cleared land out of the woods there. https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Noftle-41&errcode=saved *Power: Thomas Power was in Broad Cove by 1790 clearing land for a garden. He bought a plantation next to the property of David Whelan in 1796 and they built a stage together. Like David Whelan, Thomas Power does not appear in the early BMB records of the Blackhead Church or the Harbour Grace Anglican Church. It is possible he was Catholic. Perhaps he was at Broad Cove to fish but went back to his home port to baptize his children. Thomas Power's profile is at inhttps://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Power-5687 * Whelan/Whealon: David Whelan was at Broad Cove by 1788 when he bought a meadow there. By the 1790s he built and shared a stage with Thomas Power of Broad Cove suggesting kin ties. He also purchased a meadow in small Point in 1804. In 1805 neither property had a house on it. His son James took over the land when he died. Whelans of Broad Cove do not appear in the early BMB records of the Blackhead Church or the Harbour Grace Anglican Church. It is possible he was Catholic. Or he was at Broad Cove to fish but lived in another outport for example there was a David Whealon at Brigus at this time. David Whelans profile is at https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Whelan-1887 *After 1800 Squires: This family lived at the Beach on Bell Island in the late 1700s. John, William and Catherine Squires moved to Broad Cove several years after the death of their father, John Squires who drowned in 1799 in Conception Bay. They were joined by their step-father, Sylvester Tapp who died in Broad Cove in Jan of 1836. In 1807 Sylvester had married the widow Catherine Squires the mother of John, William and Catherine. No record has been found in the Blackhead Church records for Catherine's burial suggesting she may have died before the family moved to Broad Cove. From a shared YDNA match (See FTDNA Squires Surname Project) it has been documented that John Squires was the son of James Pitts of Belle Island. This is why the Squires family starts with James Pitts. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Pitts-6184 ===Population=== ==Sources==

Brooklin is a town in Hancock County, incorporated on June 9, 1849, under the name of Port Watson, from a portion of land set off from the town of Sedgwick. On July 23rd of the same year, its name was changed to Brooklin, named for the brook which formed the line (brook line) between the new town and Sedgwick. * Parent Page: [[Space:Hancock_County%2C_Maine|'''Hancock County ''']] * Brooklin, Maine [[:Category:Brooklin%2C_Maine|Category page]] {| class="wikitable" border="1" border="1" style="width: 650px" | scope="col" align="center" style="width: 80px; background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Date''' | scope="col" align="center" style="width: 270px; background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Designation''' | scope="col" align="center" style="background:#f0f0f0;"|'''Note''' |- | -1534|| Naskeag || Wabanaki peoples - the Maliseet, Micmac, Passamaquoddy and Penobscot tribes |- | 1534-1760||Nouvelle France||Under French control, no known European settlers |- | 1760||Majabigwaduce Plantation, Lincoln, Massachusetts Bay||France surrenders September 8, 1760, Britain officially takes control of the area |- |1762|| |||Several Land Grants were made from the Livermore Survey

      '''Brooklin''' is the most southerly part of the mainland of Hancock County, being also near the western side. Sedgwick bounds it on the north-west, from which it extends southeastward into the sea, and north-eastward toward Bluehill Bay. It is 26 miles from Ellsworth and 50 from Bangor. The town has good harbors. In 1856, a lighthouse was erected on Flye's Ledges, but it does not now appear in the list of the national lighthouses. The town is rather rugged in its appearance, and its rocks show evidence of a paying deposit of phosphate of lime. The soil is gravelly, but strong and productive, and the inhabitants are giving more attention to agriculture than formerly. Hay is the principal crop ; and porgy chum has been largely used for dressing the land. There was formerly a large porgy business, but little is done in it at present. Smoked herring are produced in considerable quantities ; there is a lobster-canning factory, a barrel-factory, and the manufacture of boots and shoes is also quite a business. The first permanent settler of Brooklin was a Mr. Black. His daughter Elizabeth, the first child born in the town, lived to the age of one hundred and two years. In 1688, there were two families at Naskeag, Charles St. Robins and La Flour. Naskeag Point is frequently mentioned in documentary history, and there are -said to be "signs" of its occupation at a time and by a people now unknown. The territory of Brooklin was set off from Sedgwick, and incorporated in 1849 under the name of Fort Watson. One month later its name was changed to Brooklin.
      There are in the town nine stores of general goods, one of fancy, and one of millinery goods. The town-hall is a large building of three stories, crowned with a mansard roof. The Baptists have a very good church edifice, that is much frequented. Brooklin has nine public schoolhouses, valued at $4,500. The valuation of estate in 1870 was $186,899. In 1880 it was $177,534. The rate of taxation in 1880 was 414.50 on $1,000. The population in 1870 was 966. In 1880 it was 977. ==Additional Resources== ::'''Websites:''' * [https://www.sedgwickmaine.org/sedgwick-brooklin-historical-society/ Sedgwick-Brooklin Historical Society] * [https://www.mainegenealogy.net/individual_place_record.asp?place=brooklin Maine Genealogy Net ] Resources for Genealogists and Family Historians * Family Search * Maine Encyclopedia * [https://www.brooklinmaine.com/ Brooklin Municipal Page] * [https://sites.rootsweb.com/~mehancoc/brooklin/ Maine Genweb Page] Brooklin * [[Wikipedia:Brooklin, Maine | Brooklin on Wikipedia]] * [http://www.brooklinmaine.com/ Town website] ::'''Books:''' * Fish, E.

White settlement was east of the Mississippi River concentrated around St. Anthony Falls. Hence the territorial census of 1850 does not include a population living in the area of Brooklyn Township. Hennepin County was established by the Territorial Legislature of Minnesota on March 6, 1852. The land department surveyed Township 119 R 21 starting in May 1855 with completion in July,1855 (see attached image). #Task: Quote the first paragraph of Early Settlement in Brooklyn, Chapter XLV, p. 285 Warner, Geo.

      '''Brooksville.''' the most south-westerly town of Hancock County, is bounded on all sides by Penobscot Bay and its connected waters, except on the south-east where it joins Sedgewick,-being almost an island. The next towns to the northward are Castine and Penobscot, and on the east, Blue hill. The south-western projection bears the name of Cape Rozier, in honor of James Rozier, the companion of Weymouth in his voyage to the coast in 1805, and the historian of that voyage. The Indian name of this cape was Mose-ka-chick, signifying a moose's rump. Mr. A. W. Longfellow, of the Coast Survey, gives this legend respecting the locality. In very early times, as an Indian was pursuing a moose over the peninsula upon which Castine is situated, it came to the shore, and leaping in, swam toward the opposite side of the harbor. The dogs were unable to follow the game, but the hunter himself followed in a canoe, and succeeded in killing it upon the shore. On his return, he scattered the entrails of the animal upon the water, where they may be seen even to this day, in the shape of certain rocks strung along at intervals.
      The waters of Castine Harbor and North Bay wash its shores on the north, and Bagaduce River, running northward from its ponds in Sedgewick, forms the boundary line on the east. The town is 22 miles south-west from Ellsworth, and 40 miles south of Bangor. The Deer Isle and Bucksport stage-line passes through it. The principal elevations of laud are Perkin's and Kench's Mountains and Wasson's and Clapboard hills. Perkin's Mountain is said to abound in minerals, yielding also alum and copperas. It is said that seventy or eighty years ago some mineral resembling coal was taken from its bed near the foot of the mountain and tested in a blacksmith's forge. At the foot of the mountain on the western declivity is a chalybeate spring. The granite quarry at the foot of Kench's Mountain affords a fine quality of stone. In 1875, about $26,O0O worth of worked stone were shipped from this quarry. The "Devil's Track," a peculiar formation in the solid granite of this mountain, and the clam shells lying high upon Dodge's and Haney's points, and the mound on Henry's farm, afford themes for the curious. Walker's Pond is said to be a sheet of enchanting loveliness. It is also one of the best alewive fish pastures in the country. Parker's and Smith's ponds are also attractive sheets.
      A large proportion of the male population of the town are engaged in coasting and the fisheries. There is a porgy-oil factory at Buck's Harbor; and in other parts of the town are two saw, two shingle, two grist-mills and a planing-mill, and one wool-carding, cloth and yarn- factory. The soil of the town is chiefly clay loam, and the principal crops are wheat and potatoes.
      Brooksville was formed from parts of Castine, Penobscot and Sedgewick, having been set off and incorporated in 1817. It took from Sedgewick an eighth, and from Castine and Penobscot each a fifth of their taxable property. It was named in honor of Governor Brooks, of Massachusetts. Its history is largely included in that of Castine and of Penobscot. James Rozier was the first explorer, and 1605 was the year of his visit. The first settlers were John and Samuel Wasson and David Hawes, Revolutionary soldiers. They found three squatters already in possession, a Mr. Roax, Eben Leland and Arch Haney. About 1780, William Roax and Elisha Blake settled upon the cape. The first white child born within the present town limits was Mary Grindle, May, 1765. Upon Henry's Point and near Oliver Bakerman's, the British, in 1779, erected six-gun batteries. Both have been nearly obliterated by time. The first corporate meeting was held in John Bray's house. Col. John Hawes, Col. David Walker, John R. Redman and David Wasson, esqs. were eminent citizens.
      The Methodists, Congregationalists and Baptists each have a church edifice. Brooksville has nine public schoolhouses, valued at $5,000. The town valuation in 1870 was $238,987. In 1880 it was $207,443. The rate of taxation in 1880 was 2 per cent. The population in 1870 was 1,275. In 1880 it was 1,419.

      '''Brooksville'''.—Incorporated (5-222 town) June 13, 1817. Population, 1,275. Decennary loss, 152. Wealth, per capita, $190. State valuation, $198,998. U. S. valuation, $286,557. Named in honor of Governor Brooks. It took from Sedgwick an eighth, and from Castine and Penob- scot each a fifth of their taxable property. It was a part of ancient Pentagoet. Its early history is almost entirely embodied in that of Castine and Penobscot. The first exploration was by James Rozier in 1605. First settled in 1777, by John Wasson, Samuel Wasson and David Hawes, Revolutionary soldiers. They found three squatters here, a Mr. Eoax, Eben Leland and Arch Haney. About 1780, William Roax and Elisha Blake settled upon the "Cape." The first white child born within the present town limits was Mary Grindle, May, 1765. She was born upon the farm now owned by G. M. Farnham. Upon Henry's Point, and near Oliver Bake- man's, the British erected 6-gun batteries, in 1779. The ''tooth of time" has nearly obliterated both. The first corporate town meeting was held in John Bray's house. ==Additional Resources== ::'''Web Sites: * [http://www.brooksvillehistoricalsociety.org/ Brooksville Historical Society] * [https://www.mainegenealogy.net/individual_place_record.asp?place=brooksville Maine Genealogy Net] Brooksville * Family Search * Brooksville on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brooksville,_Maine WikiPedia] * Maine Encyclopedia * [https://brooksvillemaine.org/ Brooksville Town Website] * [http://brooksvillelibrary.org/ Brooksville Library] ::'''Books:''' * Wheeler, George A.

The first settlers in the vicinity were [[Courtney-1128|John R. Courtney]], [[Hutchins-4769|Isaac Hutchins]], [[Osborn-5357|Josiah Osborne]], [[Findley-1864|William Findley]], [[Walter-8207|Elias Walters]] and Austin Walters, who arrived variously in the fall of 1845 and the spring of 1846. In the fall of 1846 came [[Blakeley-341|James Blakeley]], his uncle [[Brown-70461|Hugh Leeper Brown]], [[Keeney-576|Jonathan Keeney]] and [[Finley-2095|Richard Chism Finley]]. [[Kirk-3917|Alexander Kirk]] and his son, [[Kirk-3925|William Riley Kirk]], arrived in the spring of 1847. http://www.linncountyroots.com/Towns/Brownsville.htm Alexander Kirk set up a ferry across the Calapooia River, consisting of a stout rope, in 1847. During his frequent absences his wife [[Sweeten-89|Sarah (Sweeten) Kirk]] operated the ferry. The south side of the Calapooia was settled first. Around that time the settlement was known simply as Calapooia, and at times the place was referred to as Kirk's Ferry. A post office for Calapooia was established in 1850. James Blakeley settled a claim on which part of the town of Brownsville now stands and built the first house in 1846. In the spring of 1853 he laid out the town, hiring [[White-75718|Luther White]] to do the surveying. Hugh Leeper Brown started a store, presumably on the north side. Brown's claim was one mile east of town. [[Spalding-395|Rev. Henry Harmon Spalding]], in the aftermath of the massacre at the Whitman Mission, had been compelled to leave that area, and brought with him his two motherless girls, who were survivors. He sought a new mission field near Brownsville, but, finding that disease had decimated the local natives, and all the good land taken up, he had decided to leave. The Browns and Blakeley persuaded Spalding to stay, and shifted their claim lines enough to make room for Rev. Spalding. His daughter [[Spalding-396|Eliza Spalding]] married [[Warren-14246|Andrew Jackson Warren]]. A bridge over the river was built in 1856. In 1860 a woolen mill was set up on the north side. The mill hands who worked there formed a settlement which was called Amelia, for [[Spalding-399|Amelia Spalding]], the daughter of Rev. Henry Harmon Spalding. who married the son of Hugh Leeper Brown. The name Amelia, however, did not stick because the Browns had precedence. Ill feeling between north and south Brownsville developed about this time. The north side had the industry, the woolen mill, a tannery, and a planing mill. A narrow-gauge railroad came through in 1880. The station was built on the north side. The south side had no industry; it was more residential. But it gave the name to the entire community, from Hugh Leeper Brown, one of the original settlers of the south side.History of Brownsville, memories of Hermon Linn Robe, transcribed 1957 by his son Stanley Linn Robe, manuscript in the handwriting of Stanley Linn Robe, in possession of his daughter Margaret Robe Summitt of Everett, Washington. North Brownsville was surveyed in 1863. Blakeley platted the town in 1864. In 1874 North Brownsville was incorporated, and Brownsville in 1876. They were incorporated as a unit in 1895. North and South Brownsville continued to maintain a separate identity in other ways. Each side had its own high school until around 1917 or so. Until around 1920 there were separate grade schools with their corresponding districts. The post office, which originally belonged to the south side, was moved to the north side in 1885 or so. For a long time the rest of the community called the mill settlement Dogtown, in derision. It in turn called South Brownsville "Lickskillet." These terms were based on the wards, the political divisions of the community, South Brownsville, East Brownsville, and Depot Town. The Calapooia valley between Brownsville and Crawfordsville was called in derision Gougers' Neck. The prairie people had to travel up there to buy their lumber and fenceposts. Of course they had to pay for them and the Calapooia valley people called their country Poverty Flat. For some reason, Ash Swale, a community to the northwest of Brownsville, was called Sodom. In Brownsville itself, rivalry and competition between the two sides of the river did not reach any really organized form. The boys from the south side would not accept one from the north; he was an outsider. Rivalry was more in evidence in conversation and in the pranks that members of one side played on members of the other.History of Brownsville, memories of Hermon Linn Robe, transcribed 1957 by his son Stanley Linn Robe, manuscript in the handwriting of Stanley Linn Robe, in possession of his daughter Margaret Robe Summitt of Everett, Washington. The Linn County Pioneer Association was formed in 1887 to plan a reunion for homesteaders in Linn County.https://www.oregonencyclopedia.org/articles/linn_county_pioneer_picnic/#.Y1c9kXbMJEY Annual events since then have been the Linn County Pioneer Picnic and the Pioneer Parade in Brownsville. The first Pioneer Picnic was held Sept. 1, 1887 east of Crawfordsville. ===Population=== The 1880 U. S. Census lists 143 inhabitants of Brownsville and 307 in North Brownsville; Amelia was not differentiated. In the 1890 U. S. Census, Brownsville had a population of 580, probably a combined total of Brownsville and North Brownsville. 1900 Census: all of Brownsville is listed with a population of 698. 1910 Census: Brownsville's population was 919. 1920 Census: Brownsville's population was 763 1930 Census: Brownsville's population was 746 1940 Census: Brownsville's population was 784 http://www.linncountyroots.com/Towns/Brownsville.htm ==Research Resources== Linn County Historical Museum in Brownsville https://linnparks.com/museums/linn-county-historical-museum/ ==Sources==

== Purpose of the Study == Buchs is part of a string of villages along the valley floor of the Rheintal in the canton of St. Gallen in Switzerland. The towering mountains either side of the valley made it easier for the early population to choose their spouses from a few of the neighbouring villages. Naturally there are exceptions to this but it holds true for the majority of people well into the 19th century. As a result, local families are heavily intertwined and even one ancestor from the old families is invariably linked to many other families in Sevelen. Early migrants to lands now within Germany and beyond as well as later migrations to the USA and Brasil have spread descendants far and wide. The goal of the study is to reconstruct a family tree for the village based on the available church records. This will greatly aid family researchers with roots in Buchs, regardless of where they reside. == Location & History == Located in the South-East of the Swiss canton of St. Gallen the municipality of Buchs, together with the municipalities of Wartau, Sevelen, Grabs, Gams and Sennwald, forms the registration district of Werdenberg. Buchs was mentioned for the first time in 1213. Some 200 years later, the village became part of confederate canton Luzern and, as a consequence, part of the Old Swiss Confederacy. In 1517, the area of Werdenberg was acquired by the canton of Glarus and remained as such until 1798. The ownership by Glarus is something every family researcher in the area should be aware of for a few reasons. First, during the Reformation Glarus and its lands were early adopters of the 'new' religion. Aside from Gams, the available church registers for Werdenberg were started by followers of the Evangelisch-Reformierten Kirche. Second, many of the officials were chosen by the masters in Glarus from their ranks. Therefore, some family names in the church registers originate in Glarus. However, they did often marry locally. Most people in Werdenberg were involved in subsistence agriculture. This did not change with the introduction of mechanical embroidery machines 'Wikipedia'' (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schifflistickmaschine : accessed 25 November 2020). "Schifflistickmaschine." in the 1870s but it provided the farmers another stream of income. It was mainly a family affair although some were able to employ some neighbours as well. Researchers will encounter the term 'Sticker' on many pages of the later church records. == Useful Terms == Kirchgemeinde: similar to the English Parish Wahlkreis: Registration District Bürger: Citizen Bürger Ort or Heimatort: In Switzerland, citizenship is determined by being a ''Bürger'' of a particular municipality. Inherited through the father, sons will pass on the Heimatort to their children whereas daughters will exchange their father's Heimatort with the one from their husband. Residents of the area in Sevelen called 'Oberräfis' may hold two Heimatort, Buchs and neighbouring Sevelen. The Heimatort and place of residence can be the same but does not need to be. A person may be a Bürger of a place they never have resided in. The importance to genealogists is that Bürger registers are kept at the Heimatort whereas Family registers are kept at the place of residence. This means that if one is lost, there might be a 'backup' record in a different municipality. == Resources == In 2018, the canton of St. Gallen made the church registers available for free online through the ''Staatsarchiv St. Gallen''. The earliest register from 1672 are missing some entries. Some pastors were more inclined to keep detailed records than others. One of them in particular had to be 'removed' from office due to a less-than-ideal lifestyle. Senn, Nikolaus, ''Werdenberger Chronik, Band II'', pp 203-204. Buchs, St. Gallen, Schweiz: BuchsDruck und Verlag, 1862. == Participants == [[Staub-537|Andrea Staub]] - Growing up in Sevelen, I am a direct descendant of a few of the 'old families' of Sevelen. == Sources == * ''Wikipedia'' (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Switzerland : accessed 25 November 2020).

A Survey of Hancock County, Maine. Augusta [Me.: Sprague, Owen & Nash, printers, 1878. Internet resource. has the following:
      Bucksport.—Incorporated (9-79 town) June 27, 1792. Population, 3,433. Decennary loss, 121. Wealth, per capita, $360. State valuation, $1,219,881. U. S. valuation, $1,756,628. This was township No. 1, in the grant to Marsh. It was incorporated as Buckstown, and was not changed to Bucksport till 1817. The township was surveyed by William Chamberlain, in 1762. Col. Jonathan Buck, from Haverhill, Mass., commenced the first settlement in 1764. For him the town was named. The next year Laugh- lin McDonald and his son Roderick, took up lots. In 1766-7, Asahel Harriman, Jonathan Frye, Benjamin Page, Phineas Ames, and Ebenezer Buck came. The first preacher was Rev. John Kenney, in 1795. First settled minister, Rev. Mighill Blood, in 1803. In 17— the British burnt a part of the town. The post office established in 1799. About 1804 the Gazette of Maine was printed. In 1806, "Penobscot Bank" was established, and continued six years. The ill- treatment which the inhabitants received from the British in 1776-7-8, drove many families away, and they employed Indian guides to pilot them through the woods to Kennebec. Some of them returned in 1784.
      Union soldiers, 419; State aid, $7,345; town bounty, $56.618 ; cost per recruit, $150 Varney's '''''Gazetteer of the state of Maine''''' Varney, George J. 1886. A gazetteer of the state of Maine. Boston: B.B. Russell.has the following:
      '''Bucksport is the westerly town of Hancock County,''' and its most northerly town on the Penobscot. It is beautifully ''' situated on the east bank of the river at the "Narrows," '''forming a lovely picture, with its streets and houses rising on a gentle slope from the water. The summit of the hill is crowned by the buildings of the East Conference Seminary, which, standing in bold relief against the sky, makes the most prominent figure of the village. The streets are very regular ; for which the town is largely indebted to Stephen Peabody, Esq., one of the early citizens. Bucksport has the only railroad in the county, the Bucksport and Bangor Railroad, which, in the winter season, gives Bangor an open port. A railroad to Ellsworth is also projected. A bridge of stone and timber 650 feet in length, connects it with Verona, formerly Orphans' or Wetmore's Island, in the Penobscot. It is popularly said that Bucksport is 18 miles from everywhere, being that distance from Bangor, Ellsworth, and Castine. The centres of business are Bucksport Village, North and East Bucksport and Buck's Mills. The soil is uneven but not mountainous, and is beautifully diversified with ponds and streams. The principal elevations of land are Harding's and Picked Mountains, the first of which is 350 feet in height. The majestic stream of the Penobscot forms the western boundary; its shore being fringed with a narrow village for almost the entire length of the town. The soil is chiefly clay and clay loam, and the principal crops are hay and potatoes. The business in which the largest capital is invested is shipbuilding. Other manufactures are lumber in its various forms, carpentry-trimmings, ship pumps, blocks,, plugs, wedges and wheels, boats, cooper's-ware, carriages, leather,, boots and shoes, stone work, etc.,
      Bucksport was one of the six townships originally granted by the sovereigns, William and Mary, to David Marsh, of Haverhill, Mass.,, and 350 others, citizens of Massachusetts and New Hampshire whose' title was confirmed in 1764 by the General Court of Massachusetts.. In August, 1762, Col. Jonathan Buck, James and William Duncan,, Richard Emerson, and William Chamberlain came to the place from Haverhill, Mass., and began the survey of the town. Col. Buck built, a saw-mill upon Mill River, a small stream passing through the present village. Laughlin McDonald and his son Roderick, from Greenock,, in Scotland, came in and took up lots the next year. In 1766-7, Asahel! Harriman, Jonathan Frye, Benjamin Page, Phineas Ames and others came in and settled according to the condition of the grant, which gave to each actual settler 100 acres of land. The first preacher was Rev. John Kenney, who came in 1795. In 1803, Rev. Mighiil Blood, became the first settled minister of the town. The village was partially burned by the British in 1779. Many of the inhabitants had previously been driven away by their incursions. The town was incorporated in 1792, as Buckstown, in honor of the leading citizen, Colonel Buck. The name was changed to Bucksport in 1817. A post-office was first established in 1799. The Gazette of Maine, one of the earliest newspapers in the State, was published here in 1804. The Penobscot Bank was established in 1804, continuing six years. The town has now the Bucksport National Bank, with a' capital of $100,000. Its public library contains about 1,700 volumes. Eminent among the later citizens of Bucksport, but now deceased, were John W. Swazeyj Jotham Moulton, Joseph Lee, Stephen Peabody, Samuel M. Pond, Moody Pilsbury, Henry Darling, Enoch Barnard, and Rufus Buck;. The town furnished 367 men for the Union forces in the late Rebellion, 66 of whom were lost. A beautiful monument of Scotch granite has been erected to their memory. The East Maine Conference Seminary was established in the village in 1851, and has done a good work for eastern Maine. Bucksport has three Methodist churches and one Congregationalist. The village schools are graded. The town has nineteen public schoolhouses, valued at $9,000. The valuation of estates in 1870 was $1,219,881. In 1880, it was $1,057,500. The rate of taxation in 1880 was $27,40 on $1,000. The population in 1870 was $3,433. In 1880 it was $3,047. ==Additional Resources== ::'''Web Sites''': * Historical Society * [https://www.mainegenealogy.net/individual_place_record.asp?place=bucksport Maine Genealogy Net] '''Bucksport''' * Family Search * [[Wikipedia:Bucksport, Maine]] * Maine Encyclopedia * [https://digitalcommons.library.umaine.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1168&context=mainehistory Maine.edu] '''History of Bucksport Maine''' ::'''Books:''' ==Photos== {| Border = ''1''; text align = center |+ Photo Gallery (Click an image for details) ! style="width: 300px;" | ! style="width: 300px;" | ! style="width: 300px;" | |- |{{Image|file=Stanley-2884-1.jpg|caption=Boston Boat_ Image 2}} |{{Image|file=Bucksport-3.jpg|caption=Penobscot River Steamers}} |{{Image|file=Bucksport-2.jpg|caption=1872 Steamers in the Ice below the Narrows}} |- |{{Image|file=Bucksport-4.jpg|caption=Salmon Point Penobscot River}} | | |} == Sources ==

It was large enough to have had a post office, so it may also have had a town government and other civic offices, court, sheriff, jail, etc. It likely had other businesses, general store, dry goods, clothing, livery stable, etc. Perry was the county seat located near the southern border of the county and Burton was near the northern border, about 25 miles apart. Maps would show other towns in the vicinity which may have completed for business. While the post office was active from 1894 until 1900, the town was probably laid out before this and as a result of one of the land runs. Subsequently, the town probably took several years after 1900 until it was completely abandoned. There are articles on the relevent Cherokee Strip land runs which we can reference. Bliss was about two and a half miles east of Burton and on the route of the Topeka Santa Fe Railroad. Burton's mail was unloaded from the train at Bliss. Billings was about five miles west of Burton, and on the Chicago Pacific Railroad. Whiterock was southwest, Ceres south and Redrock to the southeast on the Topeka Santa Fe, on a mail route parallel to the Bliss to Burton route. ===Population=== Burton was made up of mainly immigrants of Bohemian origin.

As the ancetral home to the Mackenzie clan for centuries, it's now a tranquil setting which has been photographed by thousands of tourists, and featured in films as well. The island is named after Donnán of Eigg, a Celtic saint of 617 who built a church here. The island is surrounded by the convergence of three lochs, those being Loch Duich from the South, Loch Long from the North, and Loch Alsh from the West. The castle was first built by King Alexander II (1198-1249) to guard against King Hakon's Vikings who were aggressively trying to infiltrate the Scottish highland islands. Later in 1263, that kings son, King Alexander III (1241-1286) granted the castle to Irishman Colin Fitzgerald (XXXX-XXXX) for his service at the successful battle of Largs in which the Vikings were defeated. For seven hundred years, Clan Mackenzie were hailed as keepers of the castle. Most of their titles were of Kintail, but during the 1800's, the family lineage became the Earls of Seaforth whose title was later forfeited because of participation in the Jacobite rising of 1715. The peerage later ended up becoming the Earls of Cromartie. During another Jacobite rising of 1719, William Mackenzie, 5th Earl of Seaforth employed the help of the Spanish to secure the castle. Getting wind of this, the British Royal Navy sent three frigates to destroy the castle. When the 14 foot thick walls resisted cannon fire from the ships, troops were sent ashore to finish off the job by exploding gunpowder which they found, which left in the castle destroyed and in ruins. It sat empty for nearly 200 years before being restored to its former glory between 1914 and 1932. It’s history is long and the castle as it stands today is the restoration work of Lieutenant-Colonel John Macrae-Gilstrap’s (1861-1937). Explore this beloved castle and it’s history in the historical timeline heading below. ===Historical Timeline=== Eilean Donan Castle, Operated by The Conchra Charitable Trust; https://www.eileandonancastle.comWikipedia; https://en.wikipedia.orgScottish Tours; https://www.scottishtours.co.ukUndiscovered Scotland; https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.ukBritain Express; https://www.britainexpress.comCastles and manor Houses; https://www.castlesandmanorhouses.com Electric Scotland; https://electricscotland.com Geni;https://www.geni.comFamily Search; https://www.familysearch.org/Wikitree;https://www.wikitree.com Relevant Search Scotland; https://www.relevantsearchscotland.co.uk The Peerage; http://thepeerage.com ''Note: Some events listed herein happened away from Eilean Donan Castle and are listed for reference only.''

Information on Colin Fitzgerald therefore remains elusive. ''Furthermore, Wikitree and Wikipedia as well as other sites contradict each other on the family members (numerical) position of their peerage. Some say Kenneth was the 1st of Kintail, others say he was the 2nd.'' ''The author of this OPS has made every attempt to establish the correct facts and the correct peerage order of members of the Mackenzie family and therefore has chosen Wikitree profiles as the order of record. ''This OPS author welcomes any reader of this profile to clarify facts with regards to Colin Fitzgerald, and/or Mackenzie family members and their order of peerage.'' '''Clan MacKenzie History''' For seven hundred years, Clan Mackenzie was hailed as keepers of the castle. Most of their titles were of Kintail, but during the 1600's, the family lineage became the Earls of Seaforth whose title was later forfeited because of participation in the Jacobite rising of 1715. The peerage later ended up becoming the Earls of Cromartie. When (Kenneth Mackenzie (1240-1304) 2nd of Kintail) succeeded the title, he was known as Coinneach MacCoinneach in Gaelic, which means “Kenneth the son of Kenneth (It is believed that named for his father Angus Crom MacKenneth).'' This name eventually translated into Mackenzie in English, and so the famous Scottish Clan was established. During the 16th century, the MacKenzies promoted the clan MacRae to be constables of the castle whereas the MacRaes would remain fiercely loyal to the Mackenzie family for many centuries. They still remain official constables today.

The MacRae's were anything but graceful by being known as the 'wild MacRae's' for their ability to take on any battle as superior archers and warriors. The MacRaes came to Kintail where they were loyal bodyguards to the Mackenzie clan, and were nick-named as the ‘shirt of mail’ (ie: chain mail protective clothing). They later were promoted to Constables of Eilean Donan Castle around 1509, and still officially remain Constables of Eilean Donan Castle today. During the Scottish and Norwegian War, the Clan MacRae fought for Scotland's King Alexander III at the Battle of Largs in 1263. The Norwegians were defeated and the army of King Hakon IV was driven out of Scotland thanks to the MacRae warriors. '''Prominent Members of the clan''' '''Brig.

{{One Place Study|place=Carrowkeel, Elphin|category=Carrowkeel, Elphin One Place Study}} Carrowkeel and Carrowkeel Upper are townlands in Elphin, County Roscommon, Ireland. To see the people who lived in this townland, go to the category Carrowkeel, Elphin One Place Study, or Carrowkeel Townland, Clooncraff Parish, County Roscommon. ==Geography== Carrowkeel is a 122.83 acre townland located in the civil parish of Clooncraff and electoral division of Elphin. It is the 1583rd largest townland in county Roscommon. Carrowkeel Upper is 97.58 acres bordering Carrowkeel to the west. ==History== ===Origins=== The name Carrowkeel comes from "An Cheatrú Chaol", meaning the "narrow quarter". By the 1600s, it was under the control of Sir Charles Henry Coote. *Who originally owned it? ===Census of Elphin 1749=== Edward Synge was the bishop of the diocese of Elphin, which was made up of parts of Roscommon, Sligo, and Galway. In 1749, he took a census of everyone living in the diocese to determine the number of Protestants compared to Catholics and vice versa. During this period, there was only five families living in "Carrakeel". * John Kelagher was a cottager living with his wife Anne. They were Protestants, the only ones in the townland, and had two children under fourteen. * Ambrose McDermott, herd, was married to Jane with two children under fourteen. They kept a male and female servant * Bryan Maxwell was the Smith of the area. He kept one servant and had two children under fourteen with Honor. * Peter and Mary Duffily were cottagers with two children under fourteen years. * Ambrose and Honor Morris were cottagers with two children under fourteen. ===The Famine=== In 1841, three years before the famine, there were 24 houses and 110 people living in Carrowkeel, and 18 houses and 83 people living in Carrowkeel Upper. All together there was 42 houses and 193 people. By 1851, ten years later and as the famine came to an end, there were 14 houses and 72 people in Carrowkeel and 12 houses and 62 people in Carrowkeel Upper. All together there were 26 houses and 134 people. Over the years of the famine, 59 people died or immigrated. ==A Topographical Dictionary of Ireland, 1840 by Samuel Lewis== Carrowkeel was located in the civil parish of Clooncraff, of which the following was recorded in Lewis's book: "CLOONAFF, or CLONCRAFF, a parish, in the barony and county of ROSCOMMON, and province of CONNAUGHT, 5 miles (N.N.E.) from Strokestown, on the shore of Lough Baffin; containing 2524 inhabitants, and comprising 9471 statute acres, as applotted under the tithe act. The lands are principally under tillage, producing good crops, and there is a proportionate quantity of bog, affording a sufficient supply of fuel. Moss Hill, the seat of Capt. Conry, is pleasantly situated; and there are three lakes in the parish. The rectory and vicarage form part of the union of Aughrim, in the diocese of Elphin: the tithes amount to £100. The ancient parish church was part of a monastery said to have been founded by St. Patrick, and which was in existence in the 12th century. The R.C. parish is coextensive with that of the Established Church; there are two chapels, one in the townland of Cloonaff, and one in that of Drummamullan. There is a school of about 120 children aided by £2. 2. per ann. from Mrs. Conry. " ==The Land Acts== ==War of Independence== The following is a list of people from the townland of Carrowkeel who played a part in the Irish War Of Independence, 1919-1921: *[[Gormley-318|Thomas "Tom" Gormley]] *[[Lynch-7820|Michael Lynch]] *[[McCormack-1521|Edward "Ned" McCormack]] *[[McDermott-1906|Delia McDermott Wilkinson]] *[[McDermott-1902|John McDermott]] *[[McDermott-1911|William "Willie" McDermott]] ==Population== '''Carrowkeel:''' Year: 1841 Houses: 24 People: 110 Year: 1851 Houses: 14 People: 72 Year: 1861 Houses: 14 People: 61 Year: 1871 Houses: 11 People: 47 Year: 1881 Houses: 12 People: 71 Year: 1891 Houses: 10 People: 51 Year: 1901 Houses: 9 People: 46 Year: 1911 Houses: 9 People: 40 '''Carrowkeel Upper: ''' Year: 1841 Houses: 18 People: 83 Year: 1851 Houses: 12 People: 62 Year: 1861 Houses: 10 People: 47 Year: 1871 Houses: 11 People: 53 Year: 1881 Houses: 6 People: 29 Year: 1891 Houses: 6 People: 36 Year: 1901 Houses: 7 People: 35 Year: 1911 Houses: 5 People: 21 ===Families=== '''1842''' Battle Greene Quinn Burne (x 2) Rooney Gormley (x 4) Rutledge Feeny (x 2) Dowd Beirne McManus Fenneran Walsh McDermott Crosbie Conry Lynch McCormack Farrell '''1858''' (Carrowkeel) McDermott Gormley Cunningham Tiernan Conry Moran Lynch McCormack '''1858''' (Carrowkeel Upper) Duignan McDermott (x 2) Dolan Gormley (x 3) Rutledge Feeny Beirne (x 2) Dowd '''1901''' (Carrowkeel) Mulvey Higgins Tiernan Lynch (x 3) McCormack Cunningham Gormley '''1901''' (Carrowkeel Upper) Green Dolan Gormly (x 2) McDermott (x 2) Beirne '''1911''' (Carrowkeel) Lynch McCormack Lannon Mulvey Tiernan Higgins Gormley Lynch Doyle McDermott '''1911''' (Carrowkeel Upper) McDermott Gormley (x 2) Beirne Dolan ==Project Members== [[McCormack-1488|Alicia McCormack]]. ==Research== ===Task List=== * Adding profiles for the landholders from the Tithe Applotment and Griffiths Valuation Books for these townlands * Researching parish and civil records for this townland to add years to existing profiles and add new profiles * Finding the measurements of Carrowkeel and how the acres we're divided up into separate names * What are the origins of the name? ===Progress=== There is a profile for every person that lived in Carrowkeel in 1901 and 1911, excluding boarders and visitors. ==Resources== *https://www.townlands.ie/roscommon/roscommon/clooncraff/elphin/carrowkeel/ Griffith's Valuation for Carrowkeel.

This effort was born of Terry Zimmerman's search for the County Mayo family of her 3rd great-grandfather, [[Carroll-6007|John A. Carroll (abt.1821-1912)]], who emigrated to New York City prior to 1845. She has tracked hundreds of Carrolls in the Kiltimagh area. This study makes all that information available to others, as well as incidentals she has turned up while researching what life was like in 19th century Ireland. The investigation has expanded to include Walshes, McEllins, Murtaghs, Brennans, and all surnames identified as occupiers of Carrowreagh in Griffith's Valuation of 1856. The goals of the study are: 1. Erect a population table for 1856 and track occupiers and their descendants through the Irish Census years of 1901 and 1911. (Progress to date is regularly updated in tables near the bottom of this page.) 2. Provide links from this page to WikiTree profiles for these former Carrowreagh residents. 3. Present history, descriptions, and information about daily life in this Irish farming community of the mid-19th and early 20th centuries. 4. Investigate the value and liabilities of bogs; Carrowreagh’s population was disproportionately high for a townland in which less than a quarter of the acreage was arable farmland. '''Caveat''' As an American studying Carrowreagh from halfway around the world, the author may misinterpret, misrepresent, or simply miss relevant information. She is pleased to accept comment and critique from current residents of the Kiltimagh area, fellow researchers, and those with personal knowledge of their Carrowreagh ancestors. Send Terry a message through WikiTree to the "Profile Manager" link in green at top left of this page. ===Geography=== :'''Continent:''' Europe :'''Country:''' Ireland :'''County:''' Mayo :'''Parish:''' Killedan :'''GPS Coordinates:''' 53.8281, -9.0091 :'''Elevation:''' 62.0 m or 203.4 feet Clicking on ''Townlands entry'' near the top of this page will connect you to an expandable map of the area. Carrowreagh measures 1.46 square miles. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiltimagh) Present day R324 road is its western boundary and the long-time route between Kiltimagh (a mile north), Ballinamore (three miles southwest), and Castelbar (sixteen miles west). Kilkinure Cemetery is located across R324 directly west of Carrowreagh. See [[Space:Kilkinure_Cemetery%2C_Kiltimagh|Kilkinure Cemetery, Kiltimagh]]. Residents of the Kiltimagh area have been interred there for at least the last five hundred years, where the ruins of a Catholic church destroyed by fire still stand. Marking the boundary with Kincon and Cloonmore Lower townlands is the Yellow River, colored in blue in the map at right. At Carrowreagh's southeast corner, the river turns abruptly west to mark the border with Cuiltybo townland on the south, emptying into and out of Cuiltybo Lough. The river becomes part of Carrownageeragh's southern border, then Ballinamore's, further to the west. '''There were large bog areas within Carrowreagh's boundaries, colored yellow in the map at right,''' that included quite variable terrain: spent bog, "reclaimed" bog, bog pasture, "bottom," mountain, mountain pasture, and roads. Back in 1834, English surveyors used these terms to describe the relative worth of leased land for the purpose of setting tithes, demanded of every tenant to support the Protestant Church of Ireland. ''Tithe Applotment Books, 1823-37,'' National Archives of Ireland (https://www.genealogy.nationalarchives.ie/ : 10 Jan 2023) Note there are three "islands" within the bogs where families lived and farmed. '''Village areas are outlined: Derrylahan in fuschia, Brackloon in aqua, and Ballyglass in lime green. Greyfield (outlined in white) was a much larger area, divided between the new townlands of Carrowreagh and Carrownageeragh.''' The next Ireland survey for purposes of taxation was Griffith's Valuation, finished in the Kiltimagh area in 1856; it used only townland names. '''Important facts''' Tenants of Carrowreagh and Carrownageeragh '''never''' acknowledged either as their place of residence. Throughout the 19th and first half of the 20th century, it was the earlier village names that residents provided and local clerks and priests recorded for births, baptisms, marriages, and deaths. Knowing this will save you so much frustration! Look instead for Derrylahan, Brackloon, Ballyglass, and Greyfield if you are trying to find your ancestors in civil and parish records within these two townlands. The Ireland Censuses of 1901 and 1911 also used only townland names, but did us the great favor of listing all household members with variably accurate ages. The two censuses will help you determine whether your Greyfield predecessors lived in Carrowreagh or Carrownageeragh, if such is important to you. '''There are other villages in Swinford Union (and throughout County Mayo) named Derrylahan, Brackloon, and Ballyglass.''' Swinford Union kept civil records for eleven civil parishes and village names arose from features of the Irish landscape. Ballyglass, for instance, translates from the Irish language to "Green Valley." Your best strategy is to scroll up to the top of any Swinford Union civil record page to be sure the '''Registrar's District is Kiltimagh.''' If it is Foxford, Swinford, Kilkelly, Lowpark, or Bohola, you have ventured too far from Kiltimagh to find a Carrowreagh village. ===History=== '''Landlords''' Carrowreagh's landowners of the 19th century were neither the worst nor the best. For the most part they were members of two families, the Ormsby family of a large estate in Ballinamore, and the Browne family of Brownestown. The Brownes had extensive holdings in and around Kiltimagh and had started a farmer's market there in the late 1700's. As land passed to heirs of the same surname, lease records from court proceedings demonstrate that the Ormsbys and Brownes continued an earlier practice of granting leases for 21- or 31-years to a father and two adult sons. This practice provided some security for a family in the event of the death of their husband/father. Mr. Ormsby contributed to the operation of a private school near Greyfield. Both families engaged in acts of charity, such as contributing to the repair of the Roman Catholic Chapel of Kiltimagh after a devastating windstorm in 1839. ''The Night of the Big Wind,'' page 42, ''Kiltimagh, Our Life and Times,'' edited by Peter Sobolewski, Betty Solan, Kiltimagh Historical Society, 1996. There were in the Kiltimagh vicinity notorious landlords who evicted tenants and burned their homes upon deciding that pastureland produced greater profits. An Outline History of County Mayo-Part 4, 1800-1900 (https://www.mayo-ireland.ie/en/about-mayo/history/history-of-mayo-part4-1800-to-1900.html '''Tenants''' Though Irish landowners were English aristocrats, in Ireland they did not provide housing for tenant farmers as was commonplace in England. A typical tenant's "cabin" in County Mayo was self-made of mud-and-wattle (straw) with a stone chimney. {{Image|file=Carrowreagh_Townland_Killedan_One_Place_Study-11.jpg |caption="Exterior of a Cabin" Originally published by Harper's Weekly, New York City, 14 Feb 1880. © Maggie Land Blanck, used in accordance with owner's instructions posted at (http://www.maggieblanck.com/Mayopages/1880.html). }} Carrowreagh's soil was gravelly clay, suitable only for growing oats and potatoes. ''Kiltimagh, Our Life and Times,'' edited by Peter Sobolewski and Betty Solan, Kiltimagh Historical Society, 1996, page 46-47. A table in the next section, ''1834 Village Occupiers,'' illustrates that only 18% of land then rented was arable. The area had formerly been used for grazing. Tallied under the new townland names, Carrowreagh counted 44 homes and 237 residents for the Ireland Census of 1841. Op cit., ''"1841 Census Shows Decelerating Increase,'' page 41. A decade later in 1851, the count was 54 homes and 275 residents. While Killedan Civil Parish lost 19.6% of its population during the decade of the Great Famine (1846-1849), just a few of its townlands saw increases. Carrowreagh's gain was Carrownageerah's loss, as the population of its neighboring townland dropped from 114 to 45. Census 1841 and 1851, Kiltimagh in Co. Mayo, (https://www.mayo-ireland.ie/en/towns-villages/kiltimagh/history/kiltimagh-census-famine.html) The largest extended families of Carrowreagh (Carrolls, Carrs, Walshes, McEllins) also held land in Carrownageeragh. The author's impression is that the Great Famine caused extended families to consolidate on land in Carrowreagh in order to pay rent. '''By 1856, the quality of Carrowreagh's soil was no better, of course, but the area had been been subdivided further and leased to 51 heads of household.''' Groups of tenants were required to lease the bog areas jointly, presumably because they harvested peat there. Famine in County Mayo was a cyclical occurrence throughout the 19th century. Ninety per cent of the county's population had come to depend upon two crops of potatoes per year, unable to grow much else in moderate-to-poor soil, lacking feed to raise pigs, sheep, or cattle, which had in earlier times satisfied biannual rent payments to landowners. Another potato blight resulted in a disastrous harvest in 1879. The winter of that year and the next saw rising fatalities from respiratory ailments and community contagions such as typhus fever. Conclusion based upon Terry Zimmerman's review of hundreds of Swinford Union civil records of deaths in this era. Meanwhile the number of tenant evictions for non-payment of rent rose steadily. Activism in County Mayo sparked land reform throughout Ireland, long overdue. The effort took two decades, but eventually a state-aided land purchase program allowed tenants to acquire land and homes, to be paid off gradually. An Outline History of County Mayo, op. cit., https://www.mayo-ireland.ie/en/about-mayo/history/history-of-mayo-part4-1800-to-1900.html '''Turf''' For thousands of years, the only combustible material widely available in Ireland was turf, what peat is called once it has been stripped from bogs with cutting tools in summer weather. It fueled cooking fires and provided some warmth in cabins. The dangerous and laborious effort was necessarily a community affair. As much as two feet of “heathy scraw” had to be cut away before useable layers of white peat could be harvested; deeper layers of brown peat burned better. Turf was soggy and many meters thick; a person might drown, standing in a deep hole, if water within the bog shifted. Peat logs had to be left for days or weeks in singel rows to begin drying, later to be stood on end and leaned against other logs for more drying. Before heavier rain fell in autumn, “bricks” were transported home by wagon, to be stacked beneath an outbuilding roof for retrieval through the long winter. '''Slow burning with low heat, turf could be trusted not to set the house afire.''' But it was the case that young children left unattended were accidentally burned, suffering death from shock within a few hours to a few days. Observations of Terry Zimmerman, author of ''Carrowreagh Townland Study'' at WikiTree.org, having reviewed hundreds of Swinford Union civil death records from the Kiltimagh area, 1864-1900. '''Spent bogs cannot be restored,''' as the process that created them took thousands of years. Stone depressions carved out by glaciers of the last ice age gradually accumulated moisture and dirt, pond scum, reeds, and a few unusual species that adapted to the unusual conditions. Detritus of dead plants did not break down in such wet, acidic, anaerobic environments. The Raised Bogs of Ireland (https://raisedbogs.ie/what-is-a-raised-bog/) Good news: gigatons of carbon dioxide were stored in bogs, so full of sphagnum and peat that they actually grew taller than the landscape around them, absorbing rainfall like sponges and preventing river flooding. Bad news: raised bogs of eastern County Mayo and the midlands of Ireland were more prevalent than good farmland which benefits by river flooding and decay of vegetation in draining soil. For an exceptional tour of Irish bogs and their ecosystems, see Emily Toner's blog, "Bog Curious: Exploring Irish Peatlands, 2018-2021." https://fieldnotes.nationalgeographic.org/expedition/irishbogs Spent bogs are now a prominent feature of the Irish landscape. {{Image|file=Carrowreagh_Townland_Killedan_One_Place_Study-7.png |caption=Spent bog appears as "moonscape" scars of brown among fields and green spaces. Color-enhanced image from Ask About Ireland-Griffith's Valuation: combined historic map and aerial view of Carrowreagh Townland, 2022.}} ===Population=== The first table below, '''1834 Village Occupiers''', is adapted from ''1834 Tithe Applotment Books'' for the area of Kiltomough (Kiltimagh). Op, cit., ''Tithe Applotment Books, 1823-37'' The antiquated spellings of surnames and village areas makes these books challenging to search. The author resorted to looking through every page for County Mayo until she encountered what resembled the four village names of Carrowreagh. Those spellings are reproduced in the table. The best part of this venture was finding senior members of the Regan, Ryan, Walsh, McEllin, and Carr families, surnames she knew from researching families of 1856, but with first names that had eluded her. '''An astonishing discovery was how little arable farmland there was in Carrowreagh, only 117 acres out of 633 total acres.''' For a helpful article about tithes, see "Tithe Applotment Books.""Tithe Applotment Books," (https://www.irish-genealogy-toolkit.com/tithe-applotment-books.html) The addition of '''& Co.''' to four names in the 1834 table does not pertain to businesses. Rather, this signifies that the person named represents his family, extended family, or a small community to the landowner. The second table, '''1856 Carrowreagh Townland Occupiers,''' is derived from Griffith's Valuation. Griffith’s Valuation, Ask About Ireland.ie, data base with images (https://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/ : accessed 03 Aug 2022), Carrowreagh, Barony of Gallen, Union of Swinford, County Mayo, Ireland. Occupier names have been alphabetized for the convenience of readers looking for ancestors, whereas in Griffith's Valuation, occupiers were presented in the order of assigned lot numbers. A √ in the 1901 and/or 1911 columns signifies that the author has traced an occupier's Carrowreagh descendants to those census years and posted their profiles on WikiTree. The village location for each family results from the author's documentation of Swinford Union and Catholic parish records for family members.

In 1746, Father Gianfranco Abati Oliviera, on his way to Montecassino, was a guest of the archpriest who sought means to enhance the glory of the church with the remains of a martyr. A Church with reliquia is more important! The problem was that they had no reliquia of a Saint to protect the town and the original patron St Nicholas of Bari had really too many towns to protect. Fortunately, Father Oliviera just happened to have a stock of 3 saints in his ‘war-chest’ arising from the will of his uncle. So, on May 27, 1747, with all pomp and ceremony, the body of Saint Onorio arrived in Casalvieri, and was placed on the main altar of the church of St John the Baptist – and there we found it. Following from Casalvieri official website - to be translated [https://www.comune.casalvieri.fr.it/il-comune/storia/ Storia] Casalvieri e la Valle di Comino sono state abitate sin dalla più remota antichità subendo, nel corso dei secoli, svariate e successive dominazioni. Resti del Clactoniano medio (350.00-400.000 anni fa) sono stati rinvenuti in territorio di Casalvieri sin dall’inizio del secolo scorso. Non è chiaro il periodo in cui le popolazioni autoctone siano state sopraffatte ma è probabile che questo sia avvenuto al seguito del grande flusso migratorio che interessò le tribù umbro-sabelliche sin dal VIII sec. A.C. I Volsci sono stata la prima popolazione preitalica che ebbe il controllo della Valle di Comino anche se il loro dominio durò poco perché soppiantati dai Sanniti che, nella loro lenta espansione verso terre più fertili, entrarono in rotta di collisione con gli interessi Romani provocando la 1^ guerra Sannitica nel 354 A.C. E’ ormai storicamente provato che l’inizio della grande espansione Romana verso sud, coincise con la vittoria sulla confederazione Sannita nella 3° guerra Sannitica (che secondo Livio iniziò nel 298 A.C.). La Media Valle del Liri e la Valle di Comino fecero da palcoscenico ad uno dei più cruenti scontri del primo periodo di espansione che consacrò la posizione dominante di Roma sulla penisola. Nel profondo medioevo la Valle di Comino, compresa Casalvieri, fu parte del Ducato di Benevento prima e del Principato di Salerno poi (Casalvieri ricorre la prima volta nell’anno 1017 in un diploma di Guaimario IV che era il principe di Salerno a quel tempo). Subito dopo fu territorio della Contea di Capua, dei Pagano Signori di S.Giovanni e di Cavalieri Normanni. Fu possedimento Pontificio ai tempi di Innocenzo III e feudo dei Signori d’Aquino e, ancora, parte integrante della Contea d’Arpino. Nel Cinquecento fu possedimento dei Della Rovere ed infine, dal 1580 fino al 1796, dei Boncompagni. Non possono certo tacersi, inoltre, le vicende storiche legate al periodo borbonico ed al successivo periodo post-unitario, durante i quali Casalvieri e la Valle fecero parte della Terra di Lavoro (Provincia di Caserta). Fasi che contraddistinsero la vita delle popolazioni locali soprattutto per il perpetuarsi delle condizioni di povertà e per l’esplodere del fenomeno del brigantaggio. Neanche dopo il 1927, anno di nascita della Provincia di Frosinone, le condizioni di vita economica e sociale mutarono. Anzi, con la tragica esperienza delle due Guerre Mondiali esplose il fenomeno dell’emigrazione di massa da terre ormai senza futuro e che, ancor oggi, conservano usi, costumi e mentalità più borboniche che papaline. La storia del nostro comune, i cui suoli furono abitati sin dai tempi più remoti, fa perdere le sue tracce dai tempi dell’età repubblicana sino al medioevo, quando esse riaffiorano, in un documento cartaceo datato 1016 D. C. e conservato a Montecassino: in esso si attesta che Landone, signore di Arpino, dona all’abbazia cassinese, un proprio tenimento sito nelle pertinenze di Vicalvi, vicino al confine con la fontana di “Casa Selberi”. Alla ricostruzione di periodi circoscritti della storia di Casalvieri hanno offerto, sino ad oggi, il proprio contributo alcuni cultori ed appassionati. Tra costoro, merita un posto di primo piano, Padre Michele Jacobelli, che seppe dare impulso alla ricerca storica in Val Comino: il suo apporto, pur discutibile e non sempre condiviso, ha consentito tuttavia di creare un interesse, dilatatosi nel tempo, verso la ricostruzione di periodi nevralgici per le sorti del nostro territorio. Pur preservandosi molte tracce, evidenti nel patrimonio architettonico, anche minore e negli importanti siti di interesse archeologico, oltre che nella memoria, alcuni periodi restano ancora oscuri: pertanto una vera e propria storia deve essere complessivamente rintracciata. E’ auspicabile, in tal senso, un contributo da tempo atteso, di Guido Pescosolido, esimio storico dell’età moderna e risorgimentale, Casalvierano, Preside presso la facoltà di Lettere e Filosofia di Roma “Minerva”.

Parent Page: [[Space:Hancock_County%2C_Maine_Place_Study|Hancock County ]] Castine, a town in Hancock County, was once known as Majabigwaduce or Bagaduce for short, now the name of the river on its eastern shore. In 1629 the (British) King's Council for New England authorized Edward Ashley to establish a trading post at what was then Pentagoet. By 1631 the post was destroyed by the French for the first time, then again in 1635. The Massachusetts Bay colonists attempted to assert their claim, to no avail. Incorporated in 1796 from portions of the town of Penobscot, it later set off land to Brooksville (in 1817) and then acquired some of the earlier land it had ceded to Penobscot. The town is named for Jean-Vincent d'Abbadie, Baron de St. Castin who held a French land grant in the area. He made friends with the Indians, attempted to accommodate the English, then fought them and the Dutch to protect the area. The British finally took the town in 1779, but now the colonists wanted them out. That year Castine was the scene of the defeat of American forces attempt, known as the Penobscot Expedition, to liberate the town. It returned to American control in 1783 at the end of the Revolutionary War. Two forts, Madison and George, are among the many historic sites throughout the community.

Castine.—Incorporated (10-105 town) February 10, 1796. Population, 1,303. Decennary gain, 53. Wealth, per capita, $335. State valuation, $461,343. U. S. valuation, $664,333. The History of this "old town," has been prepared and published by G. A. Wheeler, M. D. It is an interesting and trustworthy compilation. The town appropriated $350 therefor. Castine perpetuates the name of Baron de St. Castin, a French nobleman, who established a residence here in 1667. It ,has a traditionary history running back to 1555. Under the name of "Pentagoet," it became known to the English settlers of New England, about 1626. It has never been without a garrison from 1630 to 1783. It has been successively possessed by the Indians, French, Dutch and English. Five naval engagements have taken place on the bosom of its harbor. One of those engagements, called the " Penobscot expedition," is said to be the most disastrous issue our arms have ever experienced. The first permanent English settlements made within the present limits of Castine, were in 1760, by Aaron Banks, William Stover, and Reuben Gray. " Old Kit," who died in Brooksville, at the advanced age of 104 years, was born upon the Dea. Hatch farm. The first child, William Stover, was born upon the farm where E. H. Buker lives, in November, 1764. In 1797, one Mariam Freethy, a shiftless person, was warned to leave the place—they had "tramps" in those days. The first corporate town meeting was held at the house of Jacob Orcut, at Orcut's Harbor. During the decennial period, ending 1850, its per capita wealth, with one exception (New Haven), exceeded that of any other town in the United States. For many years it was the Fishing Emporium of Maine. The repeal of the Fishing Bounty Act, and losses by rebel cruisers, have almost completed its commercial ruin. Its loss of taxable estates, from 1860 to 1870, was nearly 40 per cent. It was the shire town from 1796 to 1838. Union soldiers, 157; State aid, $7,627; town bounty, $15,834 ; cost per recruit, $149 Varney's '''''Gazetteer of the state of Maine''''' has the following:
      '''Castine''' occupies a peninsula in the south-western portion of Hancock County, overlooking the eastern entrance of Penobscot River. The town of Penobscot bounds it on the north-east, and Castine Harbor separates it from Brooksville on the south and south-east. On the west is Penobscot Bay. Castine is 30 miles from Ellsworth, 18£ miles from the railroad station at Bucksport, and 36 miles from Bangor. The Boston steamers run regularly to this port through the year, rarely missing a trip. The foundation rocks are slate, trap, mica schist, gneiss and granite. The soil is a sandy loam. The principal crops are hay and potatoes. The village of Castine occupies a commanding position on the eastern side of the peninsula, which gradually ascends from the shore to the height of 217 feet. On the north the shore is more precipitous. At the summit is a rectangular line of hillocks, the remains of Fort George. On the southward shore below are the nearly effaced ruins of Castine's fort, built as early, probably, as 1626 ; and at several points are the remains of batteries erected during the Revolution. The lighthouse and an old block-house are also points to be noted. The whole southward side of the peninsula formerly abounded in ancient relics, articles of Indian manufacture, cannon balls, shells, etc. There is an orchard in town, planted in 1784, which still bears good fruit. The streets of the village are set with shade trees of all ages, and the buildings are in good repair. Many of the dwellings are large and old, and there is an air of elegance and repose. Before it spreads out the grand harbor, dotted with islands. The depth of the water and the movement of the tide, make it an open harbor for large vessels at all seasons, with rare exceptions. The business is chiefly related to the fisheries. There is one saw-mill and one grist-mill, a large brickyard, two canning-factories for putting up lobsters, clams and other fish ; a rope-walk, and a cod and mackerel line factory,—the latter doing a business of $20,000 annually. At the head of the peninsula is a lighthouse of stone, having a flashing, white light. For a quiet summer resort, Castine is equal to any point on the coast. The climate is very healthy, and old people abound. It is now made the terminus of numerous summer excursions; and picnicking parties find it a very convenient and attractive locality.{{Image|file=Castine_Maine-2.jpg |caption=1889 Bird's Eye View of Castine }} The history of Castine goes back to the earliest settlement of our coast. The French explorer, Thevet, who visited the Penobscot in 1555, refers to an old French fort in this vicinity. Its neighborhood was explored by James Rosier in 1605 ; and in 1626 a trading house was established here by Isaac Allerton, under the direction of the Plymouth colony of Massachusetts. In 1632, the house was surprised and rifled by the French under Rosillon. Having been re-stocked, in 1635 it was attacked and occupied by another Frenchman, DAulney, deputy governor in Acadia. From 1643 to 1651, it was sometimes the scene of the conflict waged between DAulney and La Tour, rival proprietors, the first a Romanist, the latter nominally a Huguenot. In 1648 Friar Leo laid the corner stone of a Capuchin chapel. The place was taken by the English again in 1654. In 1667 Baron Castine arrived upon Penobscot Bay, the region being then known as Pentagoet; and in 1670 Fort Pentagbet, at what is now Castine, was was formally surrendered by Colonel Temple to Grandfontaine, who represented the French government. In 1673, the place had 31 white inhabitants; and the next year it was taken by a Flemish vessel commanded by Captain Jurriaen Aernoots. Yet in 1687, we again find Castine in possession, when he was notified by the Government of New England to surrender the place to them. Two years later the heights of this peninsula were the scene of the torture of Thomas Gyles by the Indians. The locality began about this time to be called Biguaduce, later, Bagaduce, from Marche-Biguatus, an Indian term supposed to mean "no good cove." Sir William Phipps took possession of the place in 1690. In 1693 Castine was again in possession, aud temporarily gave in his adhesion to the English. In 1703, the English plundered the house of Anselm Castin, eldest son of the baron, the latter having returned to France. Anselm himself in 1722, went to France, to succeed to his father's estate, and another son, Joseph Dabadis St. Castin, was left in possession of the Acadian estate. In 1779, Bagaduce was assailed by General Francis McLean with 700 men, in a fleet of seven or eight sail. Their landing was made in front of Joseph Perkins' house, which stood on what is now the south-east corner of Maine and Water streets. Having fortified the place, the British were attacked late in the following July, by a force fitted up by Massachusetts, consisting of a fleet of 19 armed vessels and 24 transports, carrying 344 guns, under Dudley Saltonstall, and a land force of about 1,200 men, under Gen. Samuel Lovell, seconded by Gen. Peleg Wadsworth ; Col. Paul Revere having charge of the ordnance. The most striking action of this siege was the storming of the bluff by the Americans, by which they gained a permanent lodgment on the peninsula, but with the loss of over 100 of their number. They advanced their works, with continued success, upon the extensive fortifications of the enemy ; and the siege failed of its object only by the insubordination of the captains of the fleet, and the over-caution of the commander. At length a fleet of British ships arrived, and Saltonstall's ill-governed vessels made haste to escape, and were in consequence nearly all captured by the British, or run ashore and burned. The land force escaped across the river above, and thence through the woods to the Kennebec. This was the noted "Penobscot expedition," the greatest display and the greatest failure of the Americans in New England during the war. The escape of Gen. Wadsworth and Colonel Burton from their imprisonment in Fort George in June, 1780, is one of the oft-related incidents of Castine history. A fort was built here about 1811 by the Americans, which was occupied by the British in 1814-15, and called by them Fort Castine. During the late civil war it was rebuilt and garrisoned by a company of U. S. troops. It was at one time called Fort Porter. The town of Penobscot, which included Castine, was incorporated in 1787 ; and in 1788 it was first represented in the General Court, the representative being Gee rge Thatcher. Penobscot was made a collection district of the United States in 1789. The town of Castine was set off and incorporated in 1796, and was also made the shire town of the county. In 1814, the town was again occupied by the British, who held it undisturbed until April 28, 1816, more than four months after the treaty of peace. No place in Maine has experienced so many vicissitudes as Castine. It has been held successively by the Indians, French, Dutch and English; and many naval engagements have taken place in its harbor. After the Revolution, Castine became rapidly settled, and for a long time it was the most important mart of business in the eastern part of Maine. Shipbuilding was formerly a leading industry, and the fitting out of vessels for the Grand Banks was carried on largely. In 1838 the courts were removed to Ellsworth, the act granting bounty to fishermen was repealed and shipbuilding declined, all contributing to the commercial injury of the place. Isaac Parker, of Castine, was the first lawyer in the county, and represented the district in Congress from 1796 to 1798. Hezekiah Williams, also a respected member of the Hancock bar, was representative from 1845 to 1849. William Abbott, who settled in the town in 1801, was a sound, able and honorable lawyer. Dr. Joseph L. Stevens was for many years the leading physician and a valued citizen. Dr. G. A. Wheeler, author of the excellent history of Castine, has succeeded to his practice. Others highly esteemed are C. J.Abbott, Esq., Deacon Samuel Adams, William Witherell, a well-known merchant. The town furnished 106 soldiers and 19 sailors for the Union in the war of the Rebellion, of whom 18 soldiers were lost. Rev, William Mason, the first minister of Castine, was ordained as a Congregationalist, but became Unitarian ; and Castine has now one of the two Unitarian churches in the county. There are now also Congregationalist (Trinitarian) and Methodist churches in the village. The church-edifices are fine buildings. A State Normal School was opened here in 1873, with accommodations for 200 pupils. It is well patronized. The schools of the village are graded, and a high-school is sustained. The town has six schoolhouses, and the school property is valued at $10,000. The valuation of real estates in 1870 was $461,- 343. In 1880 it was $362,754. The rate of taxation in the latter year was $2.14 to $1,000. The population in 1870 was 1,303. In 1880 it was 1,215. == Sources == *john Staples[https://archive.org/details/mainehistoricalm1893bang/page/2/mode/1up?q=john+staples&view=theater'''''The Maine historical magazine page 2'''''] *John Staples[https://archive.org/details/mainehistoricalm1893bang/page/13/mode/1up?q=staples&view=theater'''''The Maine historical magazine page 13'''''] *The Maine Genealogist.

The lot eventually came into the possession of the family of [[Chapman-15285|Elisha Chapman (abt.1770-1854)]], and was split up between two of his sons, Amos and Lyman. Elisha first appears in Duanesburg in the 1810 census."United States Census, 1810," database with images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33SQ-GYB8-L2H?cc=1803765&wc=QZZZ-MP9%3A1588180303%2C1588180768%2C1588180772 : 1 December 2015), New York > Schenectady > Duanesburg > image 9 of 10; citing NARA microfilm publication M252, (Washington D.C.: National Archives and Records Administration, (n.d.). The Chapman Farmhouse is one of Duanesburg’s National Historic Register Properties. It was constructed in two phases. The larger original portion was probably built in the 1810’s or early 1820’s. It was a classic New England one and a half story structure, consistent with the original owner’s Connecticut origin. The original part has a massive hewn timber frame, with original vertical plank sheathing that once directly supported the interior plaster and exterior siding, and had a large central chimney stack as evidenced by floor repairs and the original floor framing. The original roof line was much steeper, as evidenced by the cutouts for collar ties in the existing, reused rafters. At some point, probably between 1830 and 1850, an addition was constructed. It was intended as a kitchen and woodshed. There is evidence of a large chimney stack and hearth in the current mudroom. There is also evidence of a pair of large doors, with battens on the front of the house, in the woodshed. It would appear that the woodshed consisted of two levels, one wood floored, at the same level as the presumed kitchen, extending to a bit beyond the existing attic stairway, and one at ground level for woodshed activities. The addition was timber framed, with hewn sills and plates and with all other elements rough sawn. It, too is a one and a half story building. It is a relatively delicate structure, as timber frames go. At the same time the addition was built, the original house was remodeled. The central chimney was removed, and small step or shelf chimneys were added on the second floor. Holes were cut through the ceiling and flooring for stovepipe to reach these chimneys. The siding was also changed to match that of the addition and Greek Revival elements were added to the house, including the recessed front door with transom and sidelights. Finally the roof pitch was flattened to conform with the then current style.Personal observations of Weinheimer-29 ===Residents and Owners=== * [[Cosby-1046|Alexander Cosby (abt.1685-1742)]] * [[Duane-25|James Duane (1733-1797)]] * [[Chauncey-267|Moses Chauncey (1762-1814)]] * [[Chapman-15285|Elisha Chapman (abt.1770-1854)]] Presumed Builder. * [[Davis-65452|Lucy (Davis) Chapman (1767-1835)]] * [[Burton-9307|Elizabeth (Burton) Chapman (1793-1860)]] * [[Chapman-15287|Amos Chapman (1793-1862)]] 1850, 1853, 1855, 1860 * [[Unknown-469136|Mariah (Unknown) Chapman (1796-1867)]] 1850, 1853, 1855, 1860 * [[Chapman-16781|Elizabeth (Chapman) Blanchard (abt.1817-1876)]] 1850 * [[Chapman-16782|Lucy Chapman (abt.1817-abt.1868)]] 1850 1855 * [[Chapman-15495|Rachel G.

== Charleville Circus, Sydenham, Kent One Place Study == {{Image|file=Charleville_Circus_Sydenham_Kent_One_Place_Study-5.jpg |align=r |size=m |caption=OS Plan 1951 1:1250 }} === '''Overview of the project''' === Within this in-depth study, Charleville Circus emerges as a focal point within a larger narrative, encapsulating a captivating era where Victorian innovators fashioned a remarkable attraction. Drawing massive crowds to Upper Sydenham, this area became a hub for leisure, enlightenment, and entertainment, while offering a select few an idyllic residential haven. Situated a mere 7 miles from the largest capital city in the world*, yet connected by 'new-fangled' railways, it provided a swift escape from the industrial bustle and smog of the expanding metropolis. '''Around the houses!''' Charleville Circus stands out for its unconventional layout on suburban maps of South East London. Nestled between two main thoroughfares, it was never intended to serve the typical roundabout function, thus allowing vehicles to circumnavigate in either direction. Instead, it exudes a serene residential charm, adhering to its name with a circular arrangement. Victorian residences, predominantly three or four stories high and adorned in fashionable revival styles, are scattered in a seemingly random fashion around the perimeter and within the centre of this circular layout. When observed from above, its uniqueness is further accentuated by intriguing triangular and quadrilateral garden shapes. For me, Charleville Circus holds profound personal significance as my childhood home. Despite the passage of years and living at a distance, I maintain a deep affection and a distinct connection to this extraordinary place. '''Ambitious aims of the study''' The goals of this study are ambitious. As an ongoing project, I aim to compile all available census data, historical events, human interest stories, images, and documents pertaining to the properties and former residents of this street. By linking individuals on WikiTree and cross-referencing them with this study, I hope future researchers can contextualise the lives and activities of past inhabitants. Any assistance with census data or content would be greatly appreciated. If you possess even the smallest snippets of information, documents, or images related to this area, please don't hesitate to share them on this page or reach out to me, (Steve) the Profile Manager, via message. I assure you of a prompt and enthusiastic response. ''*London was the world's largest city from about 1831 to 1925, with a population density of 802 per acre (325 per hectare).''

In the early days it was also referred to as 'Charleville Crescent'. This may have been during house construction when only part of the circle was complete. But why 'Charleville'? Any connection with Charleville [Charles Town] in France? Ireland or Australia? Another clue to a northern French connection is in the name 'Caen Tower' given the the rather grand building on the corner of Charleville Circus and Westwood Hill. Further investigation is required in the future. ===Geography=== :'''Continent:''' Europe :'''Sovereign State:''' United Kingdom :'''Country:''' England :'''County:''' Kent until 1889 and the creation of the County of London :'''GPS Coordinates:''' 51.42576549100075, -0.0666529321773769 :'''Elevation:''' 304' (92.66m) above sea level.

Transported by many hundreds of horses and wagons, the grand ''Palace of the People'' was moved and rebuilt at Sydenham. Crystal Palace Foundation: [http://www.crystalpalacefoundation.org.uk/history/open-again-1854-2] The opening of the Crystal Palace in its new location in 1854 drew tens of thousands of visitors to international exhibitions, concerts, conferences, and sporting events. This surge in popularity transformed Sydenham into a highly desirable area, leading to a significant demand for opulent new residences. Consequently, numerous impressive Victorian villas were constructed around the newly established Crystal Palace park. Upper Sydenham, as it became known, swiftly developed into—and continues to be—an affluent neighborhood of South London. Charleville Circus, nestled within this burgeoning development, was located just a third of a mile away from the iconic attraction. https://www.wikitree.com/photo.php/e/e0/Charleville_Circus_Sydenham_Kent_One_Place_Study-2.jpg ''Crystal Palace, Sydenham - Rijksmuseum, Netherlands - Public Domain. https://www.europeana.eu/item/90402/RP_F_F16365'' '''1862''' '''Brickfield and Rock Cottage''' Prior to the development of Charleville Circus, the triangular parcel of land situated between West Hill (later renamed Westwood Hill) and Crystal Palace Park Road was known as Brickfield. As its name implies, this area served as a storage space for the output of the brick kilns located nearby, north of West Hill, as clearly indicated on the 1879 map. Within this area, there was only one property known as 'Rock Cottage'. Unfortunately, little information is available about this house beyond the reference provided: [https://www.google.co.uk/books/edition/Burt_s_Sydenham_Forest_HIll_guide_and_di/ueYNAAAAQAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=0 BURT'S SYDENHAM & FOREST HILL Guide and Directory 1862].

See Stanford Maps 1864-79 reference: https://www.wikitree.com/photo.php/d/d1/Charleville_Circus_Sydenham_Kent_One_Place_Study-1.jpg '''1863''' '''Penge Tunnel''' ''An engineering marvel loathed by her majesty Queen Victoria'' {{Image|file=Charleville_Circus_Sydenham_Kent_One_Place_Study-6.jpg |align=r |size=m |caption=The Penge Tunnel portal at Sydenham Hill station }} The inauguration of the Penge Mainline Railway Tunnel, stretching from Sydenham Hill to Penge East and passing directly beneath Charleville Circus, marked a significant event. The tunnel's path is distinctly indicated on the OS Plan, passing below properties numbered 10, 19, and 21. Measuring a mile and a quarter in length at the time of its construction, the tunnel was hailed as another marvel of Victorian engineering. Despite Queen Victoria's extensive travels across the nation's expanding railway network, she famously expressed her distaste for tunnels, particularly singling out the one at Penge. An intriguing side note: Between 1994 and 2007, Eurostar trains traveling between London and Paris passed through Penge Tunnel. This period coincided with the opening of the Channel Tunnel and the completion of HS1, the High-Speed rail route linking the Channel Tunnel to a new London International Terminus. During these 13 years, there was a speed disadvantage in the UK as state-of-the-art high-speed trains had to navigate the curves of the original Victorian railway network. Technical observers might have also noted, from photographs of the Penge Tunnel, that South London railways operate on third rail electrical power rather than overhead lines, necessitating the original Eurostar trains to be equipped for switching to this power source.

The morning after the fire, the ''Guardian'' [newspaper] published the following report under the title ‘London flocks to the Palace pyre’: ''There was no mistaking the earnestness of London’s farewell to the Crystal Palace tonight. The news was given out in one of the earlier news bulletins on the wireless, but long before that the flickering orange glow into the sky, which could be seen from Islington, Willesden, and even farther north and as far south as Hayward’s Heath, had begun to draw the crowds in hundreds of thousands, by bus and car and train.'' ''Men and women and children tripped and stumbled over the miles of wriggling hose-pipes, slopped about in the muddy streets, and pressed forward closer to the roaring blaze transcending even the most spectacular of Mr. Brock’s famous benefits'' [brand of fireworks advertised as supplied to Crystal Palace].

Wilson (OPS manager)Chenonceau; https://www.google.com It may be of interest to the reader of this OPS as to how the château is oriented with regards to the compass and its surrounding estate features. North - Main front entrance to the château. North of the main entrance is the Tour de Marques which is the circular shaped tower (aka donjon) (from Chateau Number 2), the carriage house, smaller support gardens, and the Labyrinth. East - Diane's Jardin. South - The gallery, and the bridge to the other side of the River Cher. West - Catherine's Jardin. === Architecture === Personal visit by Stuart M. Wilson Chenonceau is a combination of both Renaissance and Gothic architecture. Its a unique building, as it is actually built over the River Cher itself and connected to land by bridges on both ends. === Overview === The History of Chenonceau; https://www.chenonceau.comThe Blog By Javier; https://theblogbyjavier.comGoggle; https://www.google.com There were actually three château's of varying sizes built on the same site. Spanning the River Cher, today's (number 3) Château de Chenonceau is one one the most beautiful and well known in the Loire valley of France. Through its history, Chenonceau had many owners which provided a great history lesson on this property. During that history, a total of seven women resided and controlled Chenonceau, that is why it is affectionately called the 'Ladies’ Castle'. There were of course, men too. Follow the history of Château de Chenonceau in the Historical Highlights heading below. === Château des Dames === Two In France; https://twoinfrance.comWikipedia; https://en.wikipedia.orgGoggle; https://www.google.comThe History of Chenonceau; https://www.chenonceau.comThe Paris Link; https://linkparis.comTouraine Lioire Valley; https://www.touraineloirevalley.co.uk While men are generally associated with the large purchases of real estate, we must not forget the important role that women play in a household, and the field of real estate as well. In the history of Chenonceau, there was a diverse mix of strong minded women that were financially able to afford and manage such an estate as well. In sequence of their time at Chenonceau, the following is a brief acknowledgement of these women in the history of the château. '''Katherine Briçonnet Bohier''' (1494-1526) In her husband's constant absence, Katherine was the one who actually supervised the construction of the main portion of the château that visitors see today as they approach the site. Unfortunately, husband Thomas died on a trip and never got to see the completed building. Katherine died just two years later. '''Diane de Poitiers''' (1499-1566) Well educated, Diane de Poitiers was the third person in the marriage of Henri II and wife Catherine de Medici. Even though Diane was older, Henri was in love with her for many years. When Henri II inherited Chenonceau from his father, he gave it to Diane as a gift of love. Catherine, of course did not like this arrangement. Katherine and Henri II moved out. Diane was financially able to build on to the building whereas she created the arched bridge from the main building to the other side of the River Cher. She also built the large Jardin (garden) to the East (Diane's Garden) which took another 4 years of work. When Henri II died (1559), wife Catherine offered Diane a deal she couldn't refuse, another estate called Château de Chaumont in nearby Anet, Eure-et-Loir which was less attractive but livable, and which she accepted. Diane died at Chaumont after a riding accident. The end of a once powerful woman of Chenonceau. '''Catherine de Medici''' (1519-1589) Likely the most persuasive and powerful woman of Chenonceau, Catherine was the wife of King Henri II. When her husband died, she got rid of Diane de Poltiers from the estate. Catherine went to work to create her own Jardin (garden) on the opposite side of the château. She also added a multi level gallery of mixed use rooms above the bridge that Diane had built years before. Catherine and her son, King Henri III (1551-1589) both died in 1589, and Henri III's widow, Louise of Lorraine (1553-1601) took possession of the château. '''Louise de Lorraine''' (1553-1601) Louise did not make any remarkable improvements to Chenonceau. Soon after her husband died, she painted her bedroom black and lived a quiet life of the grieving widow until her own death. However, a few years before her death, Lorraine gifts Chenonceau to her 6 year old niece Françoise de Lorraine. Such a gift is unreasonable to a child and in 1600 along came Henri IV who purchased Chenonceau, by paying off the debt from the Medici years. He then gave the estate to his mistress, Gabrielle d'Estrées. When Henri IV and his mistress Gabrielle had passed, the estate went to their son, César de Bourbon, Duc de Vendôme who married Françoise de Lorraine. Their descendants lived on the estate for 110 years until it was sold to Louis Henri, the Duke of Bourbon who sold it to the Dupin's. '''Louise Dupin''' (1706-1799) Louise made many renovations to the château and hosted many intellectuals during lavish parties. '''Marguerite Pelouze''' (1836-1928) Born into a wealthy family, Marquarite Pelouze again made substantial improvements to the entire estate but eventually the costs of renovations and her lavish lifestyle overwhelmed her and she lost the château in 1888. '''Simone Menier''' (1881-1972) As a member of the wealthy Menier family, Simone Menier oversaw the operations of a 120 bed hospital in the gallery during World War I. During World War II, Simone was also instrumental in helping villagers and Jews escape from occupied France on the other side of the River Cher through the castles gallery to the free side of the river. All the a-fore mentioned women left their mark on Chenonceau in one way or another, one which provides such great historical value to the entire story line of this magnificent estate. === Historical Timeline === Goggle; https://www.google.comThe History of Chenonceau; https://www.chenonceau.comThe Paris Link; https://linkparis.comTouraine Lioire Valley; https://www.touraineloirevalley.co.ukTwo In France (The Ladies of Chenonceau); https://twoinfrance.comFamous Castles; http://www.famouscastles.netGreat Castles;https://great-castles.com Wikipedia; https://en.wikipedia.orggeneanet; https://gw.geneanet.orgGeni; https://www.geni.comBernard Smith; http://www.bernardsmith.name '''''13th Century''''' '''1200's''' - A mill on the river and adjacent medieval château was originally built and owned by the Marques family.

'''1432-1435''' - A new château and mill were built by Jean II Marques (XXXX-1460). This likely would be a small stone fortress with a cylindrical tower at each corner. The one tower (tour des Marques) that remains today (on the esplanade before the château) is the only one that has survived time. (Château Number 2) '''c.1494''' - Thomas Bohier (1460-1524), Normandy's Tax Collector is reportedly to have bought the fortress from the son of Jean II, Pierre Marques (XXXX-XXXX) in a loan process called 'rentes constituées' where Pierre Marques was required to make reverse regular rent payments to Bohier. Sort of a landlord / tenant arrangement. '''1496''' - Marques became unable to repay the loan and Bohier was all set to take re-possession of the château. But Pierre's brother Guillaume Marques (XXXX-XXXX) took up the fight against Bohier to recover the estate in the name of the Marques family. This lasted many years. '''''16th Century''''' '''1512''' -Chenonceau was finally put up for auction and Bohier and his wife Katherine Briçonnet Bohier (1494-1526) officially finalized the purchase by paying 15,641 livres. '''1515-1522''' - The Bohier's started out renovating the old château (number 2 by Jean II Marques), but finally realized that it would be better to start anew. They then demolished all the structures with the exception of one circular shaped tower (aka donjon), and a new château was built under the supervision of wife Katherine Bohier actually in the river Cher itself using the base footprint of the old mill. (Château Number 3) '''1524''' - Thomas Bohier died and his wife and family continued to live in the château. '''1526''' - After wife Katherine's death, the estate went to her son Antoine Bohier (XXXX-1565).

Maréchal Anne de Montmorency (1493-1567) 1st Duke of Montmorency takes possession of the castle in the name of King Francois I (Francis I) (1494-1547). He acts as a property manager for the king. King Francois did not really care to much for Chenonceau and it sat neglected for several years. It was just considered a get-away hunting lodge for he and his friends. '''1539''' - The castle gets a visit from Charles Quint (1500-1558) Emperor of Germany, Prince of the Netherlands and King of Spain. Perhaps he was looking to purchase it? '''1547''' - Upon the death of King Francis I, his son King Henri II (1519-1559) took possession and gave the chateau as a love present to his somewhat older mistress Diane de Poitiers (1500-1566) (cousin to Catherine de Médici), even though he was married to Catherine de Medici (1519-1589). Henri II and Catherine move out. '''1550''' - Diane de Poitiers built a bridge joining the castle with the opposite south bank on the River Cher to plans of French architect Philibert de l'Orme (1514-1570).

'''1555''' - Diane de Poitiers officially takes ownership of the castle, and creates a 12,000 sq. m (129,000 sq ft) garden, as well as many upgrades to the château itself. '''1559''' - Upon the death of Henri II in a sporting (jousting) accident, his widow, Catherine de Medici (1519-1589), forced Diane de Poitiers to exchange Chenonceau for another castle, the Château Chaumont. Catherine moves back into Chenonceau. '''1563''' - Catherine completely renovates Diane's garden with the help of Bernard Palissy (1510-1589). '''1570-1576''' - Catherine enclosed the bridge into a 3 level gallery where she added various usage rooms as well as bedrooms to designs by architect Jean Bullant (1515-1578).

'''1598''' - Louise of Lorraine gifts Chenonceau to her 6 year old niece Françoise de Lorraine. (1592-1669).

'''1610''' - At only 16 years old, César de Bourbon, Duc de Vendôme inherits Chenonceau upon the death of his father, Henri IV. Chenonceau is occupied by César de Bourbon, Duc de Vendôme his spouse, then later his descendants for a little more than a hundred years. '''1650''' - Louis XIV (1638-1715) visited Chenonceau. '''''18th Century''''' '''1720''' - One source stated that Louis Henri (1692-1740), the Duke of Bourbon bought Chenonceau in this year. He plundered the estate of all its furnishings and art work, then sold it off. '''1733''' - Squire, and farming tax collector Claude Dupin (1686-1769) and wife Louise Dupin (1706-1799) (Formerly Louise Marie-Madeleine Guillaume de Fontaine), the illegitiment daughter of family friend and financier Samuel Bernard (1651-1739) purchased Chenonceau for 130,000 livres. Dubbed the 'Lady of Enlightenment', Madame Dupin hosted many lavish affairs during the 'Age of Enlightenment' (aka Age of Reason) with such intellectual guests as Voltaire, Fontenelle, Marivaux, Montesquieu, Buffon and Rousseau. '''1769''' - Claude Dupin died. Louise still remains in the castle. '''1789-1799''' - During the French Revolution, it was Louise who saved Chenonceau from ruin by disguising the chapel as a storage room to avoid confiscation of the estate.

'''1888-1891''' - Chenonceau sat empty and neglected during this period as it awaited a new owner. '''1891''' - Cuban millionaire, José-Emilio Terry (1853-1911) bought Chenonceau from Madame Pelouze. '''1896''' - Francisco Terry (1850-1908) bought Chenonceau from his brother José-Emilio Terry for 1,080,000 francs. '''''20th Century''''' '''1900''' - The Diane's garden is renovated by landscape architect Achille Duchêne (1866-1947).

He did not get to enjoy it for long as he died just after he bought the estate. His family continued to live on the estate. '''1914-1918''' - World War I was in progress and brother Gaston Menier (1855-1934) turned the gallery above the bridge into a military hospital with a 120-bed ward and surgical facility.

'''1939-1945''' - During World War II, the bridge/gallery at Chenonceau once again was at the center point of current events. Land on the far side of the River Cher (South) was controlled by the Germans and the château which was in the free zone side of the river (North) provided a safe haven for many fleeing the battle on the German of the river. Residents from the South were smuggled across the bridge and into freedom from the Germans. '''1951''' - After World War II, Chenonceau was fully restored to its former glory both from the war and a devastating flood in 1940. This large task was performed by architect Bernard Voisin. '''1954''' - In the chapel, stained glass windows destroyed during World War II were replaced by master glass-worker, Max Ingrand (1908-1969). '''''21st Century''''' Today, Chenonceau is still owned by Menier family decedents and is open for visitation and receives hundreds of thousands of people each year from all corners of the world. === Interior === Personal visit by Stuart M. WilsonSticky mango Rice; https://stickymangorice.comOne dad One Kid; http://1dad1kid.comLoire Valley France; https://www.loirevalleyfrance.netGreat Castles;https://great-castles.com Wikipedia; https://en.wikipedia.org Chenonceau is lavishly furnished with Renaissance style furniture, and includes some of the most beautiful tapestries and artworks anywhere in the world. Among the famous painters have their works displayed are German, Peter Paul Rubens (1677-1740), Italian, Francesco Primaticcio (1503-1570), and Italian, Hyacinthe Rigaud (1679-1743). It's untold how many rooms are actually in the chateau but about twenty are open to the public. The following is only a sample. '''Black Room''' After King Henri III (1551-1589) was assassinated in 1589, his widow Louise of Lorraine (1553-1601) was in deep mourning. She had one room that she loved painted black. Known as the 'White Queen', she wore white (the royal color for mourning) and roamed around the castle and grounds as the widow of the King. '''Catherine de Medici Chamber''' This bedroom ornately painted features a ceiling which is gilded with gold, and also features artwork on the walls by Italian Renaissance painter Antonio da Correggio (1489-1534). '''Chapel''' A small chapel was used as a refuge for owners and guests alike. Furnished with Renaissance furniture, tapestries and artworks, along with many painting by renown artists. Stained glass windows were lost during World War II but rebuilt in the 1950's. '''Diane's Chamber''' The bedroom of Diane de Poitiers which is named after King Henry II's mistress, was one of the many women owners of the château. Walls are decorated with frescoes and one notable artwork include a portrait of Catherine de Medici by Belgian, Piat Joseph Sauvage (1744-1818), and Madonna and Child by Spaniard, Bartolomé Esteban Murillo (1617 - 1682). The fireplace was by French sculptor Jean Goujon (1510-1565). '''Five Queens’ Bedrooms''' Named for Catherine de Medici’s two daughters and three daughters-in-law: Daughters - Queen Margot (Margaret of Valois) 1553-16715 (wife of Henri IV), Elizabeth of France Elisabeth of Valois) (1546-1568) (wife of Philippe II of Spain). Daughters-in-law: Mary Stuart (Mary Queen of Scots) (1542-1587) (wife of Francois II), Elisabeth of Austria (Queen of France) (1554-1592) (wife of Charles IX), and Louise of Lorraine (1503-1601) (wife of Henri III). '''The Francis I Salon''' This room features a portrait of Diane de Poitiers by Italian, Francesco Primaticcio (1503-1570) which was painted in 1556, as well as 'The Three Graces' by Frenchman Charles-Andre Van Loo (1705-1765). '''Gallery''' Located on top of the bridge that spans the River Cher, this was an addition by Catherine de Medici. It measures 60 metres (197 feet) long gallery featuring black and white, chalk and share tiled floor. During World War I, it was used as a hospital for the wounded serving over 2000 soldiers. '''Green Room''' Features 16th Century tapestries inspired which displays fauna and flora, depicting pheasants, pineapples, orchids and pomegranates. '''Kitchen''' Located in the lower levels of the château, it's a Renaissance kitchen for sure and features an arched ceiling, large stove and oven, and all the trappings of a real working kitchen from that period in time. The boars head above the chimney is a wonderful addition as well. '''Queen Louise de Lorraine Chamber ''' This bedroom is decorated with many symbols of a funeral (very strange). Furnishings feature a with a four-poster bed, and many tapestries and paintings. '''The Louis XIV Salon''' This room was designed for Louis XIV (1638-1715) who visited in 1650. '''The Vestibule''' (lobby entry) Built in 1515, it has an ogival vault (arched structure). === Other Structures === '''The Carriage Gallery''' Like the garage of the old days which stores old horse-drawn wagons, luxury carriages, transport carriages, and even a tiny carriage for a pony and child. === Chenonceau Jardin's (Gardens )=== Personal visit by Stuart M. WilsonFrench Gardens; https://www.french-gardens.comGoggle Maps; https://www.google.comWikipedia; https://en.wikipedia.orgGoggle Maps; https://www.google.com There are several gardens at Chenonceau but the two main gardens consist of the larger one to the left of the castle entry (East) that was created by Diane de Poitiers, while the smaller one to the right of the castle entry (West) was by Catherine de Medicis. It's surprising that Catherine would have a smaller one! However, Catherine's garden does have a bigger water feature in the center of her small garden. Other smaller gardens on the site consist of a labyrinth, a green garden, and a vegetable garden, now called the cutting garden. '''Jardin de Diane de Poitiers''' Created in the 'French Formal' style featuring eight triangle grass areas. This garden features a variety of plants such as yews, boxwood, and laurels, along with a variety of flowers such as yellow violets, blue petunias just to name a couple. The current layout is by garden designer Achille Duchêne (1866-1947). '''Jardin de Catherine de Medici''' Designed by Bernard Palissy (1510-1589) who was actually a potter by trade. It's planted with petunias, yellow, white roses, begonias and tulips within five lawns and boxwood hedges. '''The Labyrinth''' Located North of the main castle entrance in a wooded area, is this circular maze which features 5 foot high yews. '''The Green Garden''' c.1825 It was created by Lord Seymour in the English garden style for the Countess of Villeneuve, Apolline de Guibert (who was the wife of Louise Dupin's step-greatgrandson, Count René-François Vallet de Villeneuve). It features many varieties of over 2000 yew trees in a maze format. '''The Cutting Garden''' Formerly call the vegetable garden, it's now the cutting garden, it measures in at 10,000 square meters (107,000 sq. feet) and used to grow flowers for decorating the castle. ===Notable People=== Geni; https://www.geni.comGeneanet; https://gw.geneanet.org/ History of Agriculture; https://histoire-agriculture-touraine.over-blog.com/Wikitree; https://www.wikitree.comWikipedia; https://en.wikipedia.orgEurope Nomad; https://europenomad.wordpress.comWikimedia; https://commons.wikimedia.orgEcuRed; https://www.ecured.cu '''Thomas Bohier''' (1460-1524) Born: Issoire, Auvergne, France Died: Vigelli, Milano, Italy Resting Place: Saint Saturnin, Tours, France Bio Summary: Normandy's Tax Collector who bought Chenonceau in 1513.

It's history starts in 1673, when the Seigneurie was conceeded to Charles Lemoyne. The first settlement of Châteauguay was located on what is today Ile-Saint-Bernard. In 1636, a small chapel was built in Châteauguay-Bassin near the current station; it was served by the Jesuit Fathers of Caughnawaga (today, the first nation reserve of Kahnawake). It was a good location for both the Chateauguay and Caughnawaga population. You will find many records in the registers of '''Saint-François-Xavier du Sault-Saint-Louis''' that will mention the people living in Châteauguay. But that was starting in 1735... Before that, the residents of the seigneurie had to travel to Lachine, Sainte-Anne-du-Bout-de-l'Ile (today Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue, on Montréal island), and La Prairie. We will be looking into their parish records to find our people. We will also use the help of the "''Programme de Recherche en Demographie Historique'' ", or PRDH of Université de Montréal, now affiliated with the Drouin Institute, to gather all the information we need. == Goal of the Study == The goal is to find and document everyone that lived at one time or another in Châteauguay, with the help of Census and Church Records. Then, the records will be evaluated and a profile will be created for each individual person, or the profile will be updated if it already exists on WikiTree. As mentionned above, we will look into the church records of Saint-François-Xavier du Sault-Saint-Louis, Lachine, La Prairie and Ste-Anne, for any Baptism, Marriage or burial that may have occured there of people of Châteauguay. === Current Members === * [[Boudreau-1232|Andréa Boudreau]], leader-coordinator * [[Dunlap-679|Lynn Dunlap]], assistant-coordinator === Current Tasks === "''Data, data, data...

This concession is granted to Sieur LeMoyne, says the official act, "''because of the affection he always showed for the service of the king and the promptness with which he always carried out the orders of the governors, either in the wars against the savages where he was noted on several occasions, either in the negotiations and peace treaties he made by their commands ...'' " Charles LeMoyne de Longueuil (1625-1685) and his eldest son Charles the first baron of Longueuil (1656-1729) owned the seigneurial fief of Châteauguay from 1673 to 1706. But it does not appear that the father and son, occupied as they were with matters of war and the care to be given first to their land of Longueuil, were much interested in that of Châteauguay. However, they did what was necessary to keep the property, which would have been otherwise reversible at the crown, by building the “castle” or “fort”, and, in addition, at the foot of the hill, the small windmill. whose stone tower can still be seen, which dates from 1686 and constitutes a precious relic of those remote times, as well as an historic signification, being the oldest windmill in North America, still standing today. (Patrimoine Québec In the survey of 1683, requested by Mgr de Laval, only 2 families and 6 other people live on the seigneurie. They were then served from Lachine, because Sainte-Anne de Bellevue, who subsequently served them, did not have her first resident missionary until 1703. Just to compare, the population of Châteauguay is now 46,264 (2013 data from Wikipedia). ===Récapitulation en Français === "1673 Construction, sur l'île Saint-Bernard, d'un château que Charles LeMoyne nomme château de Guay. (29 septembre) Concession d'une seigneurie (2 lieues de front sur le lac Saint-Louis commençant à 10 arpents en bas de la rivière du Loup, x 3 lieues de profondeur, comprenant les îles de la Paix, Saint-Bernard et Saint-Nicolas) par le gouverneur Frontenac à Charles LeMoyne de Longueuil qui la nomme Rivière-du-Loup ; le territoire de la seigneurie est traversé par la rivière Châteauguay et la rivière Saint-Régis. La seigneurie prend le nom de Châteauguay (65). 1685 (Début de février) Au décès de Charles LeMoyne, la seigneurie passe à Catherine Thierry dit Primot, son épouse, et à ses 12 enfants. 1686 Construction du moulin seigneurial sur l'île Saint-Bernard par Catherine Primot. 1690 (4 août) Au décès de Catherine Thierry dit Primot, la seigneurie de Châteauguay (65) passe aux 12 enfants de Charles LeMoyne de Longueuil. " === The first chapel === ~To elaborate ~ === Events === ==== Blessing of the bell ==== On February 17th, 1743, the community of the Parish of Saint-Joachim had a ceremony to bless the brand new bell. Father Clément Lefebvre, Récollet, conducted the ceremony. In attendance, Ecuyers Sieurs de la Noüe and de Robutelle children of the said widow de la Noüe who signed herself with Miss Marie Anne her daughter See image https://www.wikitree.com/photo.php/d/dd/Chateauguay_Quebec_One_Place_Study-5.jpg
Here's the transcription of the event that Father Lefebvre inscribed in the church book: ''Cejourd'huy 17e du mois de février de l'année 1743, Je soussigné Prêtre Relig & Recollet faisant les fonctions curiales en l'Eglise paroissiale de St-Joachim de Chateaugay, ayant pour Marguillier en charge Paul Primot, et pour Marguillier en second Jean Baptiste Caron, ay fais la bénédiction solomnelle d'une cloche pesante cent quarante une livre demandée en France, du temps de Joseph Desrochers alors Marguillier en charge, et arrivée en cette paroisse du temps de Jean LeGaud dit Desloriers successeur dudit Joseph Desrochers en la charge du premier Marguillier, laquelle cloche, y compris le mouton, le Rouët, les ferrures, les marbres ou fontaines, pesante 7 41/4 et le Bénéfice du Commissionaire montant à trente pour cent, acouté trois cent soixante livres, deux sols, six deniers. Dame Catherine LeMoine veuve de défunt Ecuyer Sieur de la Noue, en son vivant Capitaine d'une compagnie du détachement de la Marine, et Seigneur de cette paroisse, avoit par nous été prié de Nommer la susdite Cloche avec un parrain a son choix; mais elle a jugé à propos d'en deferer l'honneur à Ecuyer Sieur DePominville Enseigne dans les Troupes de la Marine... et à Demoiselle M. Elizabeth Charleu(?) fille d'Ecuyer Sieur Baron de Longûëil lesquels ont donné à cette susdite cloche le nom de Catherine Charleu(?). Nous prierons à Jamais le tres Gant de publier et de recompenser la manière egallement noble et généreuse avec laquelle ils ont agi en faveur de l'Eglise dans cette occasion; en foy de quoi nous avons signé les jour et an que dessus avec Ecuyers Sieurs de la Noüe et de Robutelle enfants de ladite veuve de la Noüe qui a signé elle même avec Mademoiselle Marie Anne sa fille; les parguillers ey dessus ont declaré ne sçavoir signer.'' === The English Community and St. Andrew's church === The English-speaking community began to settle at the mouth of the Châteauguay River around 1830. Initially, a lay preacher named Charles Forest visited the inhabitants and read the Holy Scriptures. In 1832, Minister Alexander Gale, a Presbyterian Reverend from Lachine, held meetings in the residences of certain settlers. At that time, the communities of Beauharnois and Châteauguay were part of the same pastoral charge. From 1833 to 1840, the Reverend Walter Roach provided regular services in the home of James Lang, located at 62, boulevard Salaberry Sud. Twenty-two families with 59 children then made up the community of St. Andrew’s. In 1837, construction began, and the first brick church opened in 1840. The land on which it stands was donated by James Lang's sister, Mrs. John Aitken. It is located on the current site of the Protestant cemetery (18A, boulevard D’Anjou). The pews were then nothing but planks placed on crates, and by this time men and women sat on opposite sides of the church. In 1880, a second stone temple replaced the first. Architect Alexander Hutchison designed it, and contractor John Stewart and mason Henry Nichol built it. Neighbors from the Francophone community help bring in land from Île Saint-Bernard, which is used for the construction of the building adjacent to the old one. It's located at [https://www.google.com/maps/place/Saint+Andrew's+United+Church/@45.3792351,-73.746828,17z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x4cc9150f9aa879c5:0x25278ab1099ac5a2!8m2!3d45.3788795!4d-73.746311?hl=fr 26 rue Dupont Ouest]. == Prominent Names == Will will surely discover a prominence of surnames; namely, Reid (also written as Ride), Primeau, Faubert, Rufiange, Gendron, to only name a few.

This is a One Place Study for the Chatham Islands archipelago in the southern Pacific Ocean. == Location == {{One Place Study|place=Chatham Islands|category=Chatham Islands One Place Study}} Although part of New Zealand, the Chatham Islands are located around 800 kilometers east of the mainland. There are over fifteen islands but only two, Chatham (2013 population: 600) and Pitt (2011 population: 38) are inhabited. == Culture == The Chatham Islands had its own distinct Moriori culture that branched off of the Māori culture around 1500. Unfortunately, the culture largely died out in the 1830s after Māori from the North Island invaded. The last non-mixed Moriori, [[Horomona_Rehe-1|Tame Horomona Rehe]] (commonly known as Tommy Solomon), passed away in 1933. Only around 700 people with Moriori ancestry remain and all are mixed with Māori and/or European ancestry. == Directory Transcriptions == New Zealand's historical censuses have unfortunately been destroyed. However, alternatives are available in the form of city/town directories and electoral rolls. Transcriptions of Chatham Islands directories can be accessed at [[Space:Chatham Islands Directories|Chatham Islands Directories]]. == Religion == Despite its remote location and low population, the Chatham Islands has numerous churches. These are: • Our Lady of the Antipodes Church (Pitt Island, Roman Catholic) • St. Augustine's Church (Chatham Island, Anglican) • St. Teresa of Lisieux Church (Chatham Island, Roman Catholic) The denominations listed are current and may not necessarily reflect the denominations the churches served in the past.

During their struggle for independence, they developed a separate, multi-generational communal identity, centered around the Chebacco Parish Church and recognized even by outsiders, who might say someone was from Chebacco, rather than from Ipswich. They finally managed to attain their independence from Ipswich in 1819, when the parish was incorporated as the town of [[:Category: Essex, Massachusetts|Essex, Massachusetts]]. This category includes profiles for people who, during the period 1677 to 1819, were identified with Chebacco Parish, as: * Part of the rebellion which formed the Chebacco Parish Church in and after 1677; * Specifically identified as being "from Chebacco;" * Recorded by the Chebacco Parish Church as born, baptized, married, died, or buried; * A resident of the area known as Chebacco Parish. The designation, "Chebacco Parish," therefore refers to the Chebacco Parish Church, which was the initial hub of the community, then to the community which formed around that church and, finally, to the physical area of Ipswich where that community was located. Thus, when part of the congregation of the Chebacco Parish Church later split off to form a separate congregation (the Fourth Church), both would be considered "of Chebacco." Note: Someone who owned property in Chebacco Parish but did not live there or worship there would probably not be considered part of this One Place Study. Someone who regularly did business in the parish but did not otherwise interact with the community would need to be considered individually, and included or excluded based on other factors. ===Population=== ===Notables=== * [[Ward-3008|Rev.

In 1899 it adopted the name of Francisco Javier Mina but 110 years after its foundation, in 1992 it was officially named Chipilo. === Origin === Chipilo was founded on October 7, 1882 by Italian immigrants from the Northern region of Veneto, although there were also some Piedmontese and Lombards among the founders. Most of them came from Segusino and the surrounding villages in the provinces of Treviso and Belluno, such as Quero, Valdobbiadene, Feltre and Maser. In this sense, Italian immigration to Chipilo differs from that of other parts of the Americas, but resembles that of the agrarian regions of Argentina, areas where most immigrants come from the regions of North-Central Italy. ===Geography=== :'''Continent:''' North America :'''Country:''' México :'''State:''' Puebla :'''GPS Coordinates:''' -98.330555,19.004185,0 :'''Elevation:''' 2139.2 m or 7018.4 feet ===Population=== Years (inhabitants) 1882 (424) 2000 (2,965) 2005 (3,084) 2010 (3,493) 2020 (4,059) === Language === Although the town people do continue to speak the Veneto dialect of Italian, they communicate with tourists (although Chipilo is not considered to be a touristic place) in Spanish. ===History=== Italian immigrants came to Mexico after the signing of a contract to bring Italian settlers to Mexico, between Francisco Rizzo and Secretary of Development Carlos Pacheco, during one of the last processes of foreign colonization to Mexico. Many of them were dedicated to livestock. Dairy products became famous in many places in Mexico. During the first 20 years of its foundation, Chipilo was a colony of foreigners called Colonia Fernández Leal.

The goal of this project is to create well-sourced profiles for every resident of Claiborne Parish, from its inception to the present day, and connect those profiles to the Global Family Tree. The first white settler arrived in the region in 1818, and the parish was formed in 1828. Based on the census, its peak population was 32,285 in 1930. In the 2010 Census, the parish had a population of 17,195. == Volunteers == Contact '''[[Murtaugh-30|Sarah Heiney]]''' if you would like to volunteer to help with this project. == Tasks == The bulk of the work for this project consists of three main tasks: '''creating profiles,''' '''profile improvement,''' and '''profile connection.''' We need to '''create profiles''' of people who lived in Claiborne Parish. Multiple sources should be consulted before any profile is created. We can '''improve''' those profiles by adding categories and writing biographies. Some pre-existing Claiborne Parish profiles have "gedcom junk" or duplicated sections from messy merges, and these could use a cleanup. Ultimately, we want every profile to '''connect''' to the Global Family Tree. Sometimes this is a quick process, but sometimes it requires deeper research that could lead outside of Claiborne Parish. Currently, we are working through the 1850-1870 Censuses, and there are thousands of profiles to create, connect, and improve. If you want to help with this effort--even if you can only contribute a small amount--contact [[Murtaugh-30|Sarah]].

== Clifton House Site == {{One Place Study|place=Raton, New Mexico|category=Raton, New Mexico One Place Study}} The location of the lodge was along the west bank of the cottonwood-shaded Canadian River, adjacent to the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad tracks. The materials were brought overland from Dodge City. For years it served as headquarters for cattle roundups. It was also a roundup point for post-Civil War cattle drives. After the abandonment of the Santa Fe Trail in 1879, it fell into disuse and burned. The Clifton House is also connected to the outlaws "Ike" and "Port" Stockton.

Indian mounds were located on the southwest corner of Pleasant Lake, a small lake at the southwestern edge of Coloma Township. (The mounds were visually noticeable as late as the 1950s but have since been destroyed with development and the building of homes in the area.)Personal knowledge of Barbara Follett Schweger. These pre-contact earthworks were built by Late Woodland peoples, possibly between the years 750-1200. Fox, George A. and C. Tagatz. Indian Remains in Waushara County. Milwaukee, WI: Wisconsin Archaeological Society, 1916. Volume I5, No. 3, October 1916. Ho-Chunk, previously called Winnebago, peoples claim that they built mounds Wikipedia contributors, "Ho-Chunk," Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ho-Chunk&oldid=1132492844 (accessed February 24, 2023). and presumably these were built by them in southwestern Coloma Township. In 1849 the Menomonee agreed to a treaty which gave the government most of the land in Waushara County. Waushara County, including Coloma Township, was created from Marquette County in 1851. While land was officially opened for settlement in 1852 Wikipedia contributors, "Waushara County, Wisconsin," Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Waushara_County,_Wisconsin&oldid=1115064726 (accessed February 24, 2023). John Drake came to Coloma in 1849 as did (first name?) Stowe and his wife. Stowe is said to have erected its first building in 1849. Soon Charles White moved to the new settlement which came to be named Ross Corners after its early postmaster. The name was changed to Coloma after two men seeking gold in Coloma, California, came to the area. Elias Follett came first to Richford township and subsequently moved to Ross Corners which soon changed its name to Coloma. Around this time J.W Smith had the sawmill, T.B Smith had the hotel. J.F. Spaulding, W.T. Bishop, and Elias Follett are mentioned in regards general stores. In the 1876 tracks were laid for a railroad being built to travel between Portage and Stevens Point. Rather than going through Coloma it was four miles to the to its southeast. Since the Wisconsin Central Railway Company "missed" Coloma, a second settlement, Coloma Station, quickly developed adjacent to the train tracks. Soon the post office was moved to Coloma Station and businesses apparently thrived near the railroad. Coloma Station became Coloma, as the older Coloma was no longer the focus of business in the area and, thus, it came this older settlement was referred to as Coloma Corners. [[Follett-864|Vilas Follett (1861-1953)]] published a small newspaper, the Coloma Free Press, between1998-1905.

The city was the crossroads of North Georgia Mountain towns and North Carolina to expanding cities of Athens, Washington and Augusta, Georgia. , and was re-incorporated as Commerce, Georgia in 1904. Harmony Grove became the leading distribution center for Northeast Georgia specifically due to the position of the railroad track through it's downtown area.

By tracking the trajectories of X chromosomes, the ‘X-friends’ app aims to overcome the problems created by endogamy for genetic genealogy research: a myriad of cousins and namesakes existing in a town of 48,000 inhabitants, making it difficult to identify specific individuals and the families they belong to. - To be the American component of a project entitled ''“A tale of two twinned cities: Corato and Grenoble“,'' developed by the French association Atelier Généalogique. This project aims to promote the writing of the history of migration from Corato by focusing on the “memory“ of migration, as illustrated in the testimony of families who experienced the migration of some of their members. In fulfilling its dual purpose, the project relies to a large extent on genetic genealogy research for the identification of people who emigrated. This research (since 2016) has resulted in the creation of a specific family tree (entitled ''albero genealogico coratino'') containing (in May 2023) 25,000 inter-connected people, of whom about 85% originated from Corato. This family tree is backed up by a database containing more than 20,000 photos of authentic records. Throughout 2022, the development of the ‘X-friends’ app made use of gedcoms extracted from this large family tree in order to identify potential X-matches both upwards from a ‘root person’ to ‘terminal ancestors’ ; and downwards, towards living descendants who are ''potential'' carriers of the same X-chromosomes as the 'root person'. The ‘root person’ need not have taken a DNA test. It is hoped that other One Place Studies at Wikitree will make use of this app, to which end the Corato One Place Study will record its own experimentation with the app (see the ‘open space’ and GSG posts below). The need to access primary resources is the common factor between the two aims of the project. With this in mind, we support the principle of digitisation by volunteers of certain documents and registers that may be in a poor condition in existing archives. Ultimately, it is hoped that the project’s contribution to the writing of the history of migration from Corato will provide objective evidence of what immigrants bring to the socio-economic and cultural development of the destination countries, at the same time as evaluating the impact of migration on the place of origin. The project is supported by a scientific monitoring committee composed of Italian and French historians, and was instrumental in the setting up in Bari in March 2023 of an international database on migration from the southern Italian region of Puglia (see photo). ===Become a Member=== Will you join me?

That castle was abandoned in 1588 and the family moved to their other castle at Newton on Ayr. The first real substantial house was built about 1730 for Sir Thomas Wallace, 4th Baronet (1702-1770). When Sir Thomas died, the baronetcy was inherited by his his only daughter Francis Anne Wallace (1730-1815) who sold the house in 1783 to William Campbell (1749-1823), a wealthy sugar merchant who rebuilt the estate. William's brother, Richard Campbell (1751-1835) of Craigie inherited the estate in 1823 upon the death of William and the property remained in the Campbell family for a number of generations. The house was neglected until 1940 when the Ayr Town Council bought it. It was used by the army during World War II, then as a luxury restaurant and then part of a teaching college, but is now a business centre. === Families of the House === WikiTree; https://www.wikitree.comWikipedia; https://en.wikipedia.orgGoogle Books; https://books.google.co.ukGeni; https://www.geni.com '''Sir Hugh Wallace''', 15th of Craigie, 1st.

Colborne, Cramahe and a fair portion of Southern Ontario was transferred to British by the Gunshot Treaty of 1787. On September 23 of that year, a meeting was held between Sir John Johnson, representative of Lord Dorchester, Governor of Quebec (which included this region, prior to the creation of Upper and Lower Canada), and a number of Mississauga representatives at Carrying Place, just a few miles east of present-day Cramahe Township's eastern border. The lands to be conveyed by this treaty extended from Carrying Place, along the north shore of Lake Ontario to the Etobicoke River. The land was paid for in "goods" Page 12 of the book "How Firm a Foundation: A History of the Township of Cramahe and the Village of Colborne" by Ellen Argyris. Available at the Colborne Public Library in Colborne, Northumberland, Ontario, for study. ________________ From an Instagram post: Opened in 1792. Joseph Keeler, the first settler, came to the district in 1789 from Vermont, and later brought forty other Lovalist settlers. He was the founder of Colborne and built the first mills at Norwood, in Asphodel Twp. ________________ Nathaniel Gaffield and Joseph Keeler: Nathaniel Gaffield's name appears on the Augustus Jone's report of Cramahe township compiled in 1799. His original land grant was Lot 32. Con. 2. approximately the western half of the present-day village of Colborne. He was granted a patent on this land on May 1,1804, but sold it a few years later to Joseph Keeler. the township's first settler and father of Joseph A. Keeler, Colborne's founder. He appears to have been on friendly terms with Keeler as he farmed the properly after the sale, for the remainder of his Iife. Page 15, How Firm a Foundation: A History of the Township of Cramahe and the Village of Colborne _____________ In a revolutionary war that lasted from 1776-83. the former Thirteen Colonies had won independence from Britain and had formed the United States of America. However, a number of Americans, even some whose families had been in the New World for generations, were not keen on the new republican style of government, and these "United Empire Loyalists” began looking for a new home where they could livc under British rule. Loyalists were not all British: many were of German, Dutch, African and native ancestry. American patriots made life difficult for their neighbours who chose to remain loyal to King George Ill . History records incidences of burning of Loyalist homes and tarring and feathering of their occupants. It was difficult for Loyalists to add to their holdings of land and some had property confiscated to pay war reparations. Whether they were lured to new territories by the promise of land grants, or forced out of their former homes as political refugees, the Loyalists started migrating to British North America after 1783. Some Loyalists headed for the regions that now comprise Canada's Maritime Provinces. but their arrival created a demand for land elsewhere in British North America. By 1790, despite these hardships, it is estimated that about 10,000 people had moved from the Thirteen Colonies into what is now the province of Ontario. Page 18-19 How Firm a Foundation: A History of the Township of Cramahe and the Village of Colborne Of course, there had been people living in Ontario for many, many, many years before 1790 which is a huge study in itself. This study is concentrated on the period between 1830, and sometime before that, through about 1900, no absolute cutoffs. It follows the lives of many of my maternal ancestors who emigrated from New York state at various times and settled in Northumberland, particularly the Cramahe area. ====NOTABLES==== There are notable First Nations men found in the book How Firm a Foundation: A History of the Township of Cramahe and the Village of Colborne. Among them are John Sunday who was Chief among the Grape Island and Alderville Mississauga for 50 years and preached in Ojibwa to the Alderville Wesleyan Church which was built in 1870. Fred Simpson, was a Mississauga Objibwa who ran for Canada in the 1908 Olympic Marathon in London, England.

The earliest settlers on the Cranberry Isles had made no permanent stay. They spent a year or two fishing and cutting staves, and then moved on. The Bunker, Spurling, and Stanley families were the first to establish themselves permanently. '''Benjamin Spurling''', who came from Portsmouth, N. H., in 1768, was, as we have seen, the founder of a large and prosperous family that has for four generations flourished on Great Cranberry. The lot of '''Aaron Bunker''', containing one hundred acres, was laid out by John Peters in 1790. His descendants still occupy the land and are numerous in the community. John Stanley, who died on Great Cranberry in 1790, was the ancestor of many families of the '''Stanley''' name on the islands and in Hancock County. His widow's lot of sixty-two acres was at the entrance of the Pool, which is the characteristic feature of Great Cranberry Island. Button's Island [''' Suttons Island '''], or Lancaster's Island, as it was originally called, was first settled by '''Joseph Lancaster''', who came from Sullivan, and by '''Isaac Richardson''', son of '''James Richardson''', town clerk of Mount Desert. '''William''' and '''Joseph Moore''' were also early settlers. Sutton, from whom the island takes its present name, was apparently a squatter, who, it is said, was a sympathizer with the British in the War of 1812 and " moved on " to the Provinces. William Moore kept sheep on Bear Island, and later moved there and was the first keeper of the Bear Island lighthouse. '''William Gilley''' settled on Baker's Island in 1812, and he too became the keeper of the lighthouse built in 1828. His descendants still live on the island. The first inhabitants of Little Cranberry were '''John Stanley''', son of the '''John Stanley [John Stanley Sr. of Little Cranbery, who died 7 May 1783 at Sea]''' who died on the greater island in 1790 ['''ERROR NOTED''' the Stanley who died in 1790, at Great Cranberry, was John Stanley Sr.'s brother Sans Stanley], and '''Samuel Hadlock '''[see Samuel Hadlock Jr. who moved to Little Cranberry in 1791], who, as we have already seen, moved from '''Hadlock's Pond''' to Little Cranberry . Samuel Hadlock the younger cleared a large tract and engaged successfully in farming, but his first money was gained by a fishing-trip on the Labrador coast. There he dried his fish and then proceeded with them to Spain in a schooner of forty-eight tons, making a successful voyage and very profitable sale of his cargo. He then built a store on the west side of the island at Hadlock's Cove, where he did a good business in general merchandise. He died on the island at the age of eighty-four years in 1854, and his wife Sarah (Manchester) died in 1861 at the advanced age of ninety. Edwin, the youngest son of '''Samuel Hadlock''', succeeded his father in business. He also built and commanded vessels, as had his father before him. The last vessel built at the island was named the Samuel Hadlock and commanded by Edwin for several years. She was a brigantine of 120 tons, and was finally wrecked off Cape Hatteras. The other sons of Samuel Hadlock were also seafaring men, and died or were lost at sea in distant parts of the world. His daughters married and moved away, excepting Abigail, who married Captain Samuel Spurling of Great Cranberry Island. Edwin died on the island in 1875, and his sons William Edwin and Gilbert Theodore then conducted the business on a larger scale. They greatly improved the wharves and buildings, and sent vessels to Labrador, Grand Banks, and other distant fishing grounds. They also engaged in mackerel and herring fishing nearer home. Colonel William Edwin Hadlock, the oldest son of Edwin Hadlock, was born at Little Cranberry Island in 1834, and was educated in the Winthrop School of Boston and the Classical Institute of Yarmouth, Me. After some years of business life in Portland he returned to the island to engage with his father in the ship stores and fishing business established by his grandfather. He was elected to the legislature of Maine in 1861, and served as a member of the House in the session of 1862, and was then commissioned lieutenant-colonel of the 28th Regiment of Maine Infantry. After a year's service at the front, in which Colonel Hadlock distinguished himself for ability and personal bravery, he was obliged to retire from the army because of impaired health, and again resumed his business at Cranberry Isles. He was twice elected senator from Hancock County, and was chairman of the Committee on Military Affairs in the sessions of 1872 and 1873. In 1876 he was again elected to the House of Representatives. Colonel Hadlock has for many years maintained an influential position in the affairs of his native town, and to his enterprise is largely due the development of the island and village of Islesford. Gilbert T. Hadlock, another son of Edwin, was one of the builders of the Life Saving Station established at Islesford in 1879, and served as the first keeper. Captain Hadlock held this position for several years, and then resigned to establish a steamboat route among the islands. He holds a medal from the government for heroic service in the saving of life. Captain Franklin Stanley succeeded Captain Hadlock as commander of the Life Saving Station, and with his efficient crew of hardy surfmen has prevented many wrecks and brought much credit to the service. Harvey Denning, the youngest son of Edwin Hadlock, chose the legal profession, and was employed in important cases in Bucksport and Portland, and later in Boston, New York, and Washington. He was a man of marked personality, who died suddenly in Boston, in the height of his power, on the 13th of April, 1897. The 200 acre cranberry marsh on Great Cranberry Island influenced Governor Bernard in 1762 to name the town, which is composed of this and four additional islands: Islesford, Baker, Bear, and Sutton. Sutton was purchased by Ebenezer Sutton in 1755. Varney's '''''Gazetteer of the state of Maine''''' has the following:
      '''Cranberry Isles''' is a group of islands in Hancock County, lying from 3 to 6 miles south of Mount Desert, and 36 miles from Ellsworth. Their names are Great Cranberry, Little Cranberry, Sutton's, Roberson's and Baker's Islands. They were originally included Mount Desert, but set off and incorporated in 1830. They take their name from a cranberry marsh of 200 acres in extent on the large island. The soil is suitable for potatoes, and there are a few small orchards. Some grade Shorthorns and Ayrshire cattle, and Oxford and Southdown sheep, are found in town. But the tables and occupations of the people are chiefly furnished by the briny deep. In 1876, there were on these islands, according to the enumeration of Colonel Hadlock, thirty-eight establishments for smoking and curing fish. The first English settler within the present limits of the town was John Roberson, who settled upon the island which bears, his name in 1761. The first settlers upon Cranberry Isle are supposed to have been Mr. Bunker and William Foss. The first selectmen were Samuel Hadlock, Enoch Sparling and Joseph Moore. The town furnished 27 men for the Union in the war of the Rebellion, costing per man $232. The Methodists have a church-edifice in the town. The public library contains 578 volumes. The Cranberry isles have_ four schoolhouses, valued at $850. The valuation of real-estate in 1870 was $61,514. In 1880, it was $52,063. The population in 1870 was 350. In the census of 1880 it is 343. ==Additional Resources== ::'''Web Sites''': * Historical Society * Maine Genealogy Net * Family Search * WikiPedia * Maine Encyclopedia ::'''Books:''' * Dodge, E.

Later in 1323, for having supported Robert the Bruce (1274-1329) against Edward I (1239-1307) of England in the War for Scottish Independence, the lands of Killenacholerach (alt spelling 'Illenachclerach') on the banks of the River Dee, as well as land in the Forest of Drum were granted to Alexander Burnard (1270-1348) by 'The Bruce' (Robert that is). The Bruce created a 'Royal Forest' here, and named Alexander as the first Royal Forester of Drum. In honour of his position, Alexander was given the 'Horn of Leys' (see 'Special Treasures' heading below) that still hangs on the wall at their ancestral home, Crathes Castle. ''Note: Somewhere along in this time, the name of Burnard was changed to Burnett.'' Alexander built a 'crannog' (an ancient fortified dwelling constructed in the Loch of Leys, but it was not until 1553 that the real castle was started by Alexander Burnett (1540-1578) 11th Laird of Leys, which was funded by his wife's dowry. The wife died before it could be completed, and the castle was finally completed in 1596 by Alexander Burnett MP (abt.1570-abt.1619), the 12th Laird of Leys . The family name has had variations throughout almost 350 years such as Burnard, Burnet, and Burnett all of whom had possession of Crathes at some point until 1952 when it was given to the National Trust for Scotland by the 13th Baronet of Leys. While no family members actually live there today, Crathes remains the official Burnett family home to which all Burnett's and descendants are still welcome to this day. === Family Burnett === Geni; https://www.geni.comWikitree; https://www.wikitree.comRootsweb; http://freepages.rootsweb.com/~houseofburnettClan Burnett; https://www.burnett.uk.comWikipedia; https://en.wikipedia.org/Undiscovered Scotland; https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk Besides Burnett of Leys there are numerous Burnett branches throughout the UK.

'''1700's''' - An additional wing was added by the 3rd Baronet of Leys, Sir Thomas Burnett, who with his wife over the course of 22 years had 21 children.....Wow!. To accommodate them, the couple built a three storey East wing This burned down in 1966 and was replaced by the two storey wing which exists today.

'''1966''' - A fire destroyed the 3 storey Queen Anne wing. === Castle Structure === Undiscovered Scotland; https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk Crathes Castle is L-plan in shape of six storey's tall. The upper levels are a mix of turrets, corbels and highly elaborate string courses, plus a Victorian era clock. The original entrance retains its iron 'yett' (metal grid) which was designed to help protect the doorway from intruders. The one striking feature about Crathes is the smooth finished walls, whereas most castles have exposed stone. === Interior Highlights === Undiscovered Scotland; https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.ukThe Travel article by Aunindita Bhatia published Mar 3, 2022; https://www.thetravel.com From the main entrance door visitors make their way into the vaulted basement which was part of the original castle. A spiral stair takes you up each level via a series of rooms ending at the Long Gallery. Another spiral stair heads back down through the levels of the castle leading back to the more modern wing. The furniture is original such as a four poster bed in the Laird's Bedroom. Tapestries and or wood paneling cover walls just like they did in the early years. The amazing painted ceilings are a most prominent feature of the entire castle which are painted in complex and colourful designs and motto's. Most were restored in the 1800's remain in good condition today. The Stair Chamber, as well as rooms such as the Nine Nobles Room, the Green Lady's Room, and the Muses Room all of have great Scottish Renaissance fresco ceilings which were made in the late 1600s, but wood and plaster ceilings kept them buried until 1877. The designs on the panels and oak support pillars were most likely painted with water-based adhesive tempera paint by a native Scottish artisan. The boards and beams were painted white, with black writing and ornamentation, and were filled in with colorants. === Special Treasures === Clan Burnett; https://www.burnett.uk.comGoogle; '''Horn of Leys''' The most fascinating object in the castle is the legendary 'Horn of Leys'. This beautifully carved, jewel-encrusted ivory horn was bestowed upon Alexander Burnard (1270-1348) 1st Laird of Leys by Robert the Bruce himself in 1323 to celebrate the family's title of 'Royal Foresters'. === Ghostly Sightings === Hidden Scotland; https://hiddenscotland.coThe Travel article by Aunindita Bhatia Published Mar 3, 2022; https://www.thetravel.com What's in a colour? '''The Green Lady''' ‘The Green Lady’ which is described as an apparition of a lady dressed in green roams the hallways with a child in her arms. It is said that ‘The Green Lady’ was a servant girl who got pregnant out of wedlock by an unknown male of the castle from which she fled....... or did she......apparently not! 100 years later in the 1800s, workmen repairing the castle uncovered the skeletal remains of a woman and a child buried beneath the hearthstone of a fireplace. All this adds to the history and gives some credibility to the ghost story. '''The White Lady''' The White Lady is the soul of a young woman named Bertha who fell in love with Alexander Burnett (1502-1574) 9th Laird of Leys . They were planning to marry but Alexander's mother, Lady Agnes did not think Bertha was suitable for her boy, so he waited till Alexander was gone for the night before poisoning his future bride while having a meal together.....or so the story goes! When Alexander returned to Crathes he suspected his mother was responsible for Bertha’s untimely death. And when the girl’s parents came to collect her body, Lady Agnes went as white as a sheet, pointing into the distance and screaming before dropping dead. It’s said that once a year the White Lady travels between the old castle and the new on the anniversary of her demise. === Estate Gardens and Policies=== Visit Scotland; https://www.visitscotland.comUndiscovered Scotland; https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk Covering almost 4 acres, the walled garden is divided into eight sections which contains every green plant and flower possible which are all sculptured into topiary. At the upper end of the gardens there are yew trees and closer to the castle itself is the more dominant collection of mature trees from around the world planted here around 1860 by Sir James Horne Barnett (1801-1876), the 10th Baronet of Leys.

(Where is my home?) === Czechs are a Slavic people who lived primarily in the Moravia and Bohemia since the fifth century. Now provinces of the Czech Republic, the home land was a landlocked area that was frequently overrun with invaders who would impose their own languages, as well as religious and political views on the inhabitants. Many of the Czechs believed that migration was the best way to escape the suppression of their culture and language, and the first wave of migrants started to land on the southeastern shores of the state between 1830 and 1850. By the second-half of the 19th century, a second wave of families started their journey to Texas. Landing in Galveston, the Czechs spread out to join their existing families in the communities of Snook, New Tabor (originally Nový Tábor, meaning New Camp), Caldwell or various places around Fayette County. Many extended further out, searching for new farm lands. By 1896, Czechs became the second largest ethnic group to colonize Crosby. The Czech farmers having come from Fayette County, searching out the fertile lands of the Crosby quadrangle. ---- ===Late 19th-Early 20th Century=== {{Image|file=Steve_s_Tools-1.jpg |align=l |size=300px |caption='''Crosby Railroad Depot'''
''view from atop the railroad water tower; circa 1929'' }} :The railroad was eventually taken over by the Southern Pacific and rebuilt. The platform which had been built with a sign showing the name "Gentry" was located and a depot built. The name of the settlement was later changed from Gentry to Crosby after an official that worked for the railroad, Josiah Frazier Crosby.Texas History Paper by Ireane Moore April 20, 1933. Rail transportation continued to be a key factor in the growth and development of Crosby, even contributing to the name that is still used today.

Josiah Frazier Crosby was a judge, legislator, and secessionist leader, born on January 3, 1829, in Charleston, South Carolina. He was the son of William (a merchant) and Mary Ann (Frazier) Crosby. The family moved to Alabama a few years after Josiah's birth, and after the death of his father in 1837, he was adopted by his uncle Josiah J. Crosby, a lawyer, who brought him to Texas. Crosby was educated by private tutors, including Joel Ankrim, and in 1844 began reading law with another uncle, William Crosby, and James Willie, the former attorney general of Texas, in Brenham. On January 10, 1848, an act of the legislature admitted Crosby to the state bar despite his minority, and he was appointed district attorney of the Third Judicial District. His former tutor, Ankrim, who had become district judge in El Paso County, convinced Crosby to move west to recover his health, and in the spring of 1852, Crosby, Ankrim, and several others bought an ambulance and mule team in San Antonio and attached themselves to one of William T. Smith's wagon trains for the two-month journey to San Elizario. In July 1852 he was appointed, along with James Wiley Magoffin and Hugh Stephenson, to a committee investigating Indian attacks. In 1853 Crosby was appointed to the Texas House of Representatives, where he advocated the passage of laws designed to curb Indian depredations. He also sponsored railroad legislation and campaigned for a rail link between Central Texas and the El Paso area. In 1854 he was elected district attorney of the Eleventh Judicial District, but shortly thereafter was elected to the legislature and resigned the office of district attorney. Crosby was reelected to the legislature in 1856, but that same year his friend and mentor Ankrim resigned and left El Paso County. A year later Crosby was elected district judge to replace him. In the late 1850s he became a forceful advocate of secession. He was a delegate from Texas to the Charleston convention that met on April 23, 1860, to select the Democratic presidential candidate, and on July 28, 1860, he denounced the Northern Democrats at a mass meeting in San Antonio. At the time Crosby was suffering from lung disease, so he returned to El Paso to recover and resumed the district judgeship. He ruled that a Fort Bliss deserter had been within his rights in leaving the army, since the United States was no longer recognized as a legitimate government. Shortly thereafter, when the Civil War broke out, Crosby left to join the Confederate Army. He was acting quartermaster general on Henry H. Sibley's feckless invasion of New Mexico and later adjutant general on the staff of Gen. Edmund Kirby Smith. On Smith's orders he spent nine months in Europe buying arms and munitions. He returned to Texas in early 1865 and spent the remaining months of the war serving under Governor Pendleton Murrah. In December 1865 a Union judge in New Mexico began ordering the seizure of property belonging to Confederate sympathizers, including Crosby. He argued successfully before the New Mexico Supreme Court that the jurisdiction of the New Mexico courts did not extend to El Paso, and on March 28, 1868, in United States vs. Hart, the United States Supreme Court upheld the New Mexico Supreme Court ruling. A companion case, United States vs. Josiah F. Crosby, Henry S. Gillett, and James S. Gillett, confirmed the decision. In October 1865, the war over, Crosby settled in Houston, where he practiced law and became vice president and general manager of the Texas and New Orleans Railroad and president of the Street Railroad Company of Houston.

'''Humphrey Jackson'''
(November 24, 1784 - January 18, 1833)

Educated in law, Humphrey Jackson left his native Ireland in 1808, during a period of political conflict. He migrated to the United States and settled on a sugar plantation in Louisiana. While there he served in the 1815 Battle of New Orleans. Unable to manage his plantation without the use of slavery, which he opposed, Jackson sold his land and came to Texas in 1823 to join Stephen F. Austin's colony. Not realizing he was locating outside the colony's boundaries, he settled on land at this site. when the error was discovered, he joined other area settlers in successfully petitioning the Mexican government to form the San Jacinto District under control of the Austin colony. Jackson was elected to serve as alcalde of the new district. One of the pioneer settlers in present Harris County, Jackson was active in the early local government. His efforts on behalf of the surrounding settlement and his ability to mediate disputes impartially led to further development of the area. In 1833 Jackson was killed by a falling tree while clearing his land. Twice married, he was the father of four children. His descendants include prominent business, professional and political leaders.

===Humphrey and Sarah Merriman Jackson=== :The Texas State Historical Marker for Humphrey and Sarah Merriman Jackson is located at the east intersection of 4th Street and Avenue C, near the location of the burial in Hollingsworth Cemetery.

'''Humphrey and Sarah Merriman Jackson'''

Humphrey (1784-1833), Sarah Merriman Jackson (1796-1823), and their family came to Texas as members of Stephen F. Austin's Old 300 colony in 1823 and settled east of the San Jacinto River. Jackson's land grant opened up the San Jacinto District and expanded the perimeter of Austin's grant, providing an additional area for Anglo settlement. Sarah was mother to four children and died one year after settling in Texas. Humphrey and Sarah Jackson are buried nearby. The zinc marker at their grave site was built by the Monumental Bronze Works of Bridgeport, Connecticut.

---- ==Legends== ===Lick Skillet=== :According to local legend, the name "Lick Skillet" came from the phrase "The East Texas oxen team drivers sipped the spring sweet water and licked their skillets clean." ===Black Hope Cemetery=== :Popularized by the book ''The Black Hope Horror: The True Story of a Haunting'' (and later the movie [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0104365/ ''Grave Secrets: The Legacy of Hilltop Drive''] starring [[Duke-1897|Patty Duke]]), the Newport Subdivision in Crosby, Texas gained quite a bit of controversy when an African-American slave cemetery was discovered beneath the homes.

Ben and Jean Williams loved their quiet little subdivision just outside Houston. They were thrilled with their brand-new dream house, shaded by a tall, majestic oak. They never noticed the cryptic symbols etched on the tree's trunk. But as the months went by, eerie things kept happening.

First came the plagues of stinging ants blackening the floors and of deadly snakes devouring the birds in the yard. Strange sinkholes opened up on the lawn, emitting clammy chills. Appliances went haywire, switching on and off, spooking the workmen who could never seem to fix them. Then anxiety turned to horror as weird illnesses-mental and physical-swept the neighborhood, yielding divorces and, worse, five surprising deaths. Finally, desperate neighbors dropped their fears of seeming crazy and confided in one another, discovering that at least eight families had experienced bizarre phenomena or shockingly real "visions".

Nothing could explain the neighborhood's afflictions until one couple tried to build a swimming pool. The bulldozer broke ground and unearthed a grisly cache of undeniably human remains. The Williamses' scarred oak had marked the site of the abandoned Black Hope Cemetery; and the subdivision, ultimately driving eight families from their homes-a story that is all the more horrific because it is true.Williams, Ben, Jean Williams, and John Bruce Shoemaker. 1991.

(Scots: Cullain) On South Ayrshire's West coast overlooking the Firth of Clyde sits the major tourist attraction Culzean Castle. It's views of the isle of Arran and Ailsa Craig (aka Paddy's Milestone) add to the beauty of the site and make it a photographers paradise. Most of what exists today was the work of David Kennedy (1734-1792) 10th Earl of Cassillis who employed Scottish architect Robert Adam (1728-1792) to re-build the castle with an opulent interior and a Gothic exterior which would reflect the high status of the Kennedy's. Including the gardens, the entire site encompasses 563 acres, all of which currently falls under the protection of the National Trust for Scotland. With ancestral ties to Robert the Bruce (1274-1329), Clan Kennedy made Culzean their home for many centuries. To protect the area against invasion by Napoleon of France, Archibald Kennedy (1770-1846) 12th Earl of Cassillis started the Ayrshire Yeomanry Cavalry Regiment in 1745. In 1794, at Culzean Castle to guard against any potential invasion by Napoleon of France. Starting in 1972, the Royal Bank of Scotland displayed the castle on the back side of their five pound note. The scene was removed starting in 2016. Most tourists visiting the castle today are unaware of the sea caves 150 feet below which were reportedly used for smuggling in the old days. The Kennedy's coat of arms reflects the dolphin motif seen around Culzean. It was Charles Kennedy, the 5th Marquess of Ailsa who gifted Culzean to the National Trust for Scotland in 1945, but he continued to live there until his death in 1956. === Clan Kennedy === The National Trust for Scotland; ''A Tour of Culzean Castle'', 1977Wikipedia; https://en.wikipedia.orgUndiscovered Scotland; https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.ukGeni; https://www.geni.comClan Kennedy; https://www.ayrshirescotland.comRevolutionary War Journal; https://www.revolutionarywarjournal.comWikiTree; https://www.wikitree.comGenenet; https://gw.geneanet.org The Kennedy's were recipients of several elevated titles such as Baronet, Lord, Earl, and Marquess throughout their history. Decended from the Earls of Carrick, South Ayrshire had been populated by the Kennedy's not only in Culzean but also in nearby Dunure and Cassillis Castles as well throughout the centuries. Family 'de Carrick' (aka MacKenedi) started in South Ayrshire with Fergus Galloway (abt.1078-1161) declaring himself Lord of Galloway. His grandson, Duncan de Carrick carried on the family name until he became the 1st Earl of Carrick, he then started using the name Kennedy, and thereafter becoming head of Clan Kennedy. The first real seat of the clan in the area was nearby Dunure Castle which was acquired by John Kennedy (1436-1508) and who later also acquired the lands at Cassillis. When the family seat changed to the Cassillis area, the Earl of Carrick title was replaced by the Earl of Cassillis starting with David Kennedy (1463-1513). '''Kennedy Peerage''' ''Note: To put everything is perspective it is fitting to start with Fergus Galloway and work our way through the history of Culzean, Dunure, and Cassillis with the titled members of Ayrshire's Kennedy family.

In the 16th century a stone tower house (Coif Castle, or Cove Castle, named so since it was located above the coves below) was built. In 1762 Sir Thomas Kennedy, the 9th Earl of Cassillis decided to rebuild the tower house on the site overlooking the Firth of Clyde. And again, in 1771 the 9th Earl started to made further improvements to the existing structure as well as add a wing between the old castle (tower) and cliff side, all done by architect Robert Adam. In 1777 the 10th Earl of Cassillis again employed noted Scottish architect Robert Adam (1728-1792) to make some more improvements which was expanded as time went by. The tower house was rebuilt again and a turreted block structure added to the East and West. As structure go, they are only as good as the foundation that supports them. Being next to a cliff, Adam knew the importance of a good foundation, and pillars or pylons were sunk into the earth to support the new extensions being located near the cliffs edge. Interior wise, in the center of all the construction, between the old and the new structures, Adam was challenged and came up with his greatest idea yet, that being a grand oval staircase that provided access to various areas of the completed structures. But Adam was not just a building designer, he also designed many of the interior attributes as well like carpets, furniture, mirrors, and lighting fixtures. After Robert Adam died in 1792, changes continued through the following years planned out by other architects such as Glasgow based David Hamilton (1768-1843) in 1830, and later by the Edinburgh firm of Wardrop & Reid in 1879 who replaced the 1779 brew-house with the West wing for the 3rd Marquess of Ailsa. The overall results of Robert Adam and other designers, as well as the masons that actually built the castle, is a regal structure fit for a king (or at least an Earl), one which now welcomes hundreds of thousands of visitors each year from all over the world making Culzean Castle a 'Go To' point for any visitor to South Ayrshire. ''The story of Culzean continues as we explore some of the main rooms within the castle walls in the house tour that follows.'' === House Tour === The National Trust for Scotland; ''A Tour of Culzean Castle'', 1977Wilson. Stuart; Personal Visit, 1998National Trust for Scotland; https://www.nts.org.ukAbout Scotland; http://www.aboutscotland.comSlow Europe; https://www.sloweurope.com Following is a tour of rooms on the first floor which are the finished rooms of the castle that are available for visitation. All completed by Robert Adam. '''Armoury''' if you are into weapons, this is one of the most fascinating places in Culzean which was actually created out of at least two smaller rooms during the times of Adam, those being the original entrance hall, and buffet room. Today, it features a collection of weapons by the 12th Earl of Cassillis dating back to the era's of King George II and III. Total pistol count in the room is 716 which is almost 75% of the overall total weapon count in the castle which numbers a thousand pieces. Covering many battles, the display of weapons are from the Jacobite period in Scotland, the Napoleonic Wars, the Peninsular War, the actions of the East India Company and the American Revolutionary War as well. Most of the weapons came from those early 1800's battles while others were purchased from the Armoury of the Tower of London. Light Dragoon Flintlock pistols from about 1775 form a large oval shape on the wall with the coat of arms of the Marquess of Ailsa in the middle. This is all surrounded by a lattice design made up of 111 Hanger Swords. A small display of 19th century miniature cannons are located at floor level. Above the fireplace on the adjacent wall is a display of 40 standard issue pistols in a circular display surrounded by Heavy Dragoon Flintlock holster pistols. Other pistols displayed are either Turkish or North African issue. Another wall displays 12 inch barrel Heavy Dragoon holster pistols surrounding the inner display of 10 inch barrel Light Dragoon pistols. A notable and unusual object within the room is the 'Propeller' mounted on the ceiling with a light attached which is from a B.E.2c night fighter flown by Lieutenant William Leefe Robinson during World War I in which he shot down a German zeppelin just outside of London in 1916. Another item on display is a model of the 40-gun French frigate 'Hortense'. Its crew were captured during the Napoleonic Wars (1803–15) and imprisoned in Portchester Castle on the south coast of England. They occupied their time to make this model (aka 'The ship of bones') from the bones they saved from their beef rations during captivity. Another treasure in the room is the 'Bloodhound Clock'. It's a silver clock that Archibald Kennedy, the 3rd Marquess of Ailsa had made. As an avid yachtsman he had a racing yacht called the "Bloodhound'. The clock also shows Shakespearean scenes from 'A Midsummer Night’s Dream' and 'The Tempest'. '''Bedroom and Dressing Room of Lord Cassillis''' Not as opulent as you might think but sufficient for a Lord to sleep in. It features a four post Chippendale bed with canopy which was typical of the period. The room features an ornate fireplace as well. '''Dining Room''' Originally this large room was two rooms, those being the library and a dressing room. The dining room was created by Robert Adam in the 1870's to the wishes of the the 3rd Marquess of Ailsa. The colour scheme is the same as the original from the 18th century. The 19th century dining table is centered under the Victorian frieze ceiling and chandelier (originally designed for gas lighting). The detail work in frieze ceilings was traditionally done using plaster but this ceiling was done using papier-mâché. It looks just like plaster but was actually made from layered and pulped paper. A fireplace also sits adjacent to the dining table. Four side tables are Chippendale. China is porcelain dating to the late 18th century. There are multiple painting around the room of some of the Marquesses of Ailsa and their spouses. '''Eiisenhower Presentation Room''' A mini museum explaining the connection of Dwight D. Eisenhower to Culzean Castle. Read more in the 'The Eisenhower Connection' heading later in this profile. '''First Drawing Room Anteroom''' A service room to the dining room, that features a barrel ceiling. It originally had a fireplace which was removed at some point in time. Colours have been done to match originals in a 1970's restoration. '''First Drawing Room''' The ceiling roundel was originally painted by Italian Antonio Zucchi (1726-1795), and has been restored to its former glory. Various paintings hang on the walls of some of the past Earls. Chimney glass, girandoles, and mirrors are designs of Robert Adam. A mixture of chairs and other furnishing are of Chippendale, English, and Dutch. '''Old Eating Room''' This room occupies the exact location of the original castle tower house. It was the first room to be remodeled by Robert Adam in 1777, but was converted to a library in the 1870's for the 3rd Marquess of Ailsa during the enlarging process. The ceiling was again painted by Antonio Pietro Francesco Zucchi, an Italian painter and print maker of the Neoclassic period. The original colour scheme was restored in 1973 when the room was again converted into a sitting room. '''Oval Staircase''' Through all the remodeling that Robert Adam did to Culzean, he ended up with an odd oval space in the middle of everything and had to come up with some sort of creative feature for the space. The end result was an oval staircase fit for a castle. It reaches through all three floors with a graceful oval sweep. Multiple white colonnades on the second level are capped with Corinthian capitals trimmed in gold leaf. To give an illusion of extreme height on the third level the colonnades are slimmer at the top. All the columns are painted white and stand out against the pale blue walls and bright red carpet. '''Picture Room''' Originally part of the old tower, it was used as the 'High Hall', but now functions as a sitting room with various picture and portraits of some of the Earls. Mirrors, sconces, and torcheres are to Robert Adam designs. Furniture includes chairs of the Queen Anne design, an English sofa from the late 1700's, Colours have been updated to original shades in the 1970's restoration. Ceiling was painted by Antonio Zucchi. '''Saloon Anteroom''' Used as a service room, it sits next to the saloon and is furnished very simply. It does have a barrel organ from the late 18th century by Broderip & Wilkinson of London. Again, the original colour scheme of the room was restored during a 1970's renovations. '''Saloon''' Located in the 'Drum Tower', the saloon sits above the cliff side with the rocky beach 150 feet below. It has dramatic ocean views of the Firth of Clyde, with the Isle of Arran, Mull of Kintyre, and Loch Fyne all off in the distance. During a 1970's restoration, the walls and ceiling were brought back to their original colour scheme. Carpet design was by Adam and made locally in nearby Maybole. There is a mixture of chairs, some by Adam and some are French made. Adam also designed the torcheres, mirrors, and candle sconces. === Caves of Culzean === Smithsonian Magazine; https://www.smithsonianmag.comNational Trust for Scotland; https://www.nts.org.uk Most visitors are unaware that there are caves below Culzean that they can actually visit. Most people are not that ambitious or physically able to explore these hidden gems, but if you are of the adventurous type, they are worth the effort. The caves likely hid smugglers during the18th century when they were used for hiding contraband alcohol, tobacco and silks within its sprawling tunnels. Digs within the caves were undertaken in 2017 and radiocarbon testing results from charcoal samples taken revealed them to be between 135 and 325 A.D., suggesting the caves were occupied during the Iron Age which predates any above-ground structures. A medieval-era doorway was found on one exploration of the caves in 2018 measuring three and a half feet wide which lead to a find of artifacts that included shards of modern pottery, glass and 18th-century wine bottles. === Ghostly Stories === https://scotlandwelcomesyou.com Several ghost stories persist, such as the following. One ghost is thought to be a Kennedy ancestor, a ghostly piper who plays the pipes in the castle grounds in celebration of the marriages of Kennedy Clan family members. Legend has it that a piper and his dog once ventured into the caves below and were never seen again. In 1976 two tourists reported seeing a misty shape moving up the oval staircase, and this could be the ghost of a princess who was killed in the Green Room, and who now haunts the castle and rearranges the furniture. This has been sighted many times. Another is of a supernatural knight who abducted a young heiress and held her captive in the castle. This may be confused with a true story, as May Kennedy from Culzean was abducted by Sir John Cathcart, and she pushed him to his death off the cliff. === Eisenhower Connection === Daily Record article by Sean Murphy, Feb 11, 2021The National Trust for Scotland; ''A Tour of Culzean Castle'', 1977Wilson. Stuart; ''Personal Visit'' In 1945 when the 5th Marquess of Ailsa donated Culzean Castle to the National Trust for Scotland, he stipulated that part of the castle be presented to U.S. General Eisenhower (aka 'Ike') (later U.S. President), as a thank you from the British people for commanding the allied forces during World War II. This gift became known as the 'Scottish White House'. The opulent suite offers panoramic views of the Firth of Clyde, Arran and Campbelltown as well as the majestic Ailsa Craig. Ike first visited Culzean in 1946 and continued to visit in retirement as well. When he and his family were in residence, the U.S. flag was always flown above the castle. The residence comprises of a 6 bedroom suite on the top level providing enough space for the general and his family on numerous visits. The bedrooms are named as follows: 'The Eisenhower' (the General and President), The Ailsa' (derived from Ailsa Craig, a volcanic island located in the Firth of Clyde), 'The Gault' (named after General Sir James (Jimmy) Gault, Eisenhower's Chief of Staff during the Battle of Europe), 'The Adam' (named for architect Robert Adam), 'The Cairncross' (named after Hugh Cairncross, the Clerk of Works employed by Robert Adam during the late 18th Century re-design of the Castle), and 'The Kennedy' (named after the family of the Earl of Cassillis and the Marquess of Ailsa). The 'Eisenhower' also has a circular Drawing Room and elegant dining room attached and is available for private stays which is one of the most exclusive places to stay anywhere in Scotland. The Drawing Room features panoramic views across the Firth of Clyde towards the Isle of Arran - and on a clear day you might even catch a glimpse of the coast of Ireland. === Gas House === Canmore; https://canmore.org.ukHistoric Environment Scotland; https://portal.historicenvironment.scotGeograph; https://www.geograph.org.ukHevac; http://www.hevac-heritage.orgThe National Trust for Scotland; ''A Tour of Culzean Castle'', 1977Wilson. Stuart; Personal Visit Culzean's Gas House was commissioned by the 12th Earl of Cassillis; one of his numerous improvements. It sits to the North of castle nestled in a clearing above the beach. The Gas House provided coal gas for lighting and cooking in the castle up until the 1940's when the castle was electrified. It was restored in 1992 to it's former glory. The Gas Managers House has been converted into a Museum which through a series of information boards tells the story about the life and achievements of William Murdoch (1754 -1839) who is generally regarded as the "Father of Gas Lighting". ''Note: This OPS author is a (very) distant relative of William Murdoch.'' === Country Park === Slow Europe; https://www.sloweurope.comThe National Trust for Scotland; ''A Tour of Culzean Castle'', 1977Wilson. Stuart; ''Personal Visit''Engine Shed; https://blog.engineshed.scotWord Press; https://culzeancastleandcountrypark.wordpress.comHistoric Environment; historicenvironment.scotBritain Magazine; https://www.britain-magazine.com The country park is overseen by the National Trust for Scotland and is open to the public. Created in 1969, the 500 acre park is planted with conifers and beech and finished off with a 'swan pond', an ice house, flamboyant formal gardens, fruit-filled glasshouses, and rich with wildlife. It's has over 17 miles of walking path's and has many out-buildings and other features as well. Following is a summary of its features. '''Fountain Court''' Facing the castle, the fountain in the aptly named 'Fountain Court at Culzean Castle'. It dates from 1877 and was built in the Baroque style from pink granite. It shows Triton holding up a conch shell with dolphins spouting water below. The fountain was based on Bernini’s Triton Fountain in the Piazza Barberini, Rome, Italy.` '''Orangery''' The Orangery is situated beside the Fountain Court and the castle terraces, and is believed to date back to 1840. It was designed by John Patterson (XXXX-1832), a Scottish architect who trained with Robert Adam and worked with him on several important projects. The earliest record of oranges being grown in Britain was at Beddington, an estate near London. In 1580, Sir Frances Carew (c.1530-1611) managed to grow orange trees from the seeds of oranges brought back by Sir Walter Raleigh (1552-1618) from one of his expeditions. Today, a wide range of citrus trees from the Citrus Centre in Sussex, including specimen clementines, blood and navel oranges, a lemon and a lime are lovingly cared for at Culzean as they were for the Kennedy's of old. They were a symbol of prestige and wealth for their owners. The earliest structures built to protect citrus and other tender plants were to built to protect trees over winter period, from where the word greenhouse comes. Some of these evolved into orangeries in the 18th and 19th centuries as it did at Culzean. '''Camellia House''' The Camellia house was built in 1818 possibly by James Donaldson (pupil of Robert Adam). Originally planned as an orangery with an underfloor heating system, it failed to produce fruit and so simply acted as a conservatory. Growing Camellia flowers were very successful though and gave the house its later name. The National Trust for Scotland excavated Camellia House in 1994. They discovered the boiler system was powered by heat from 2 external fires to create warm air which was then distributed underneath the stone-slabbed floor in the house (hypocaust). The only controls were either 'on or off' as you cannot control the heat coming off an open flame. The lowest temperature was controlled by the outdoor temperature and the maximum temperature was around 37ºC. Humidity can also be added by heating pools of water. Hypocaust systems are no longer used because toxic fumes including carbon monoxide created by the fire in the furnace often crept into the main building. Also if the fire went out of control it could easily destroy or damage the building and anyone inside. When the building was restored in 1995 with new windows, the original heating equipment was removed from the floor and replaced anew. Today's version is called radiant heating and is quite common in most new homes. '''Aviary''' The bird house was designed by architect Robert Lugar (1733-1855) in 1820. Early survey drawings made by Ian G Lindsay, circa 1950, reveal that the arcade on the west elevation was a framework for wire mesh, prior to being glazed. A photograph, dated 1959 shows the cottage with a different chimney stack, it having been altered during stonework repairs of 1990-91. '''Swan Pond''' Designed by Thomas White and son Thomas White Junior for the 10th Earl of Cassillis, it was built between 1790 and 1816 and refurbished in 1903. It is an Irregularly-shaped artificial pond of 13 acres and is home to white swans as well as geese. It was subsequently rebuilt and enlarged for the 12th Earl, who later became the 1st Marquess of Ailsa, probably with the advice of White's son. Swan Cottage, a dwelling with poultry houses in its wings, was built at the time of the enlargement of the pond, to designs by Robert Lugar. '''Home Farm''' Designed by Robert Adam in 1777 the 'Home Farm' was converted to a visitor centre by The National Trust for Scotland. The Home Farm complex is built around a courtyard and contains a restaurant, shops, information and exhibition space. === Walled Garden === At the heart of the landscape is the Walled Garden. Laid out in 1786, the garden is used to grow plums, pears, blueberries, among other fruit. The greenhouse was built in the 19th century (very modern for its time). The design of the brick wall also has its uses: the laying of the brick is designed to keep in heat, and therefore save on costs to maintain warm temperatures. Built in the 18th century, the Walled Garden at Culzean is one of the largest in Scotland and a significant garden by anyone's standards. It consists of two sections divided by a spine wall – the pleasure garden and the kitchen garden, which supplies fruit and vegetables to the castle kitchen staff. This was once one of the most innovative gardens in Scotland –pushing horticultural boundaries in the past included the cultivation of peaches, nectarines and apricots. The ‘Ailsa Craig’ onion was bred by a gardener working at Culzean in the 1870s. It is said that the wall was built over the site of former slave servants Scipio Kennedy's house. === Lady Ailsa’s Pleasure Garden === Adjacent to the Walled Garden is Lady Ailsa’s Pleasure Garden. The thriving garden is full of exotic plants, creating a peaceful atmosphere. Designed in a Victorian fashion, the garden provides visitors to enjoy a sunny afternoon, all made better by the colour display of the flowers. === Notable People === Wikipedia; https://en.wikipedia.orgBritannica; https://www.britannica.comGeni; https://www.geni.comWikitree; https://www.wikitree.com/My family tree; https://www.myfamilytree.scotFamily Search; https://www.familysearch.orgThe Scotsman; https://www.scotsman.comNational Trust for Scotland; https://www.nts.org.ukAcademic Dictionary; https://en-academic.com '''Robert Adam''' (1728-1792) Architect and Designer, FRSE FRS FSAScot FSA FRSA Born: Kirkcaldy, Fife, Scotland Died: At home, 11 Albermarle Street, London, England Resting Place: Westminster Abbey Bio Summary: Robert was the designer and builder of the first New Brig of Ayr in 1750-1799.

== Dalrymple Crescent, Edinburgh, Midlothian One Place Study == {{One Place Study|place=Dalrymple Crescent, Edinburgh, Midlothian|category=Dalrymple Crescent, Edinburgh, Midlothian One Place Study}} When we moved into Dalrymple Crescent in 2006, I was intrigued by the information on the seller’s schedule which stated that the house had been built circa 1862 by a builder named Samuel Hunter ‘along with numbers 7 and 8’ and that ‘Hunter’s daughter was in fact the first occupant’. I started to investigate the history, and was spurred on by receiving the original title deeds from our solicitors, since the deeds were no longer required for legal purposes. What I found was so intriguing that I decided to investigate the whole of Dalrymple Crescent, from its creation in 1862 up to 1901. I drew mainly on the abstract of the Register of Sasines, which recorded the buying and selling of property, and also the census records for the four decades: 1871, 1881, 1891 and 1901. This information gave such a fascinating glimpse of the people living here in Victorian times that I decided to follow up some of the stories; and then wrote a [[Space: Dalrymple Crescent Book|book]]. In addition to the census records, I used the records of births, marriages and deaths, and The Scotsman archives also gave some useful insights. In addition, trawling the Web disclosed other snippets of information, and the Edinburgh and Leith Post Office Directory was an invaluable source. Dalrymple Crescent is located in an area called the Grange: a conservation area to the south of Edinburgh’s city centre. It is a highly sought-after residential area, with good access to the centre, shops and schools. It has many beautiful streets, and Dalrymple Crescent is one of its gems. Running between Findhorn Place and Lauder Road, it is a quiet street. The road itself is quite narrow, but the houses are set well back, giving a feeling of spaciousness. The gentle curve of the Crescent seems to pull the houses together, strengthening the feeling of community. All the houses were built in the latter half of the 19th century. Although there have been a number of additions, divisions and conversions, the street retains its Victorian identity. The houses are of different styles and sizes, but the use of similar stone and slate, and the uniform lengths of the gardens give a sense of unity. This then is the street whose history I set out to explore. Who were the Victorians who built the street and lived and worked here? I published the book ( [[Space: Dalrymple Crescent Book|Dalrymple Crescent, A Snapshot of Victorian Edinburgh]] ) which sold all the 500 copies that were printed, so then I decided to add the people in the book to Wikitree. I have now entered most of them, and so I have started to link them together in a ONE PLACE STUDY. *{{Wikidata|#|enwiki}} *[[Special:Whatlinkshere/Space:Dalrymple Crescent, Edinburgh, Midlothian One Place Study|WikiTree Profiles that link here]] **See '''The People''' ===Name=== *Dalrymple Crescent ===Geography=== :'''Continent:''' Europe :'''Sovereign State:''' United Kingdom :'''Country:''' Scotland :'''County:''' Midlothian :'''GPS Coordinates:''' 55.93367557423527, -3.182433873017228 :'''Elevation:''' 79.0 m or 259.2 feet ===History=== In 1825 [[Dick_Lauder-2|Sir Thomas Dick Lauder]], by Act of Parliament, obtained permission to feu his lands in the Grange, upon certain conditions that were designed ‘to maintain a high standard in the layout of the streets, the design of the houses, the value of the properties, and the exclusion of all development other than for residential use’. A feuing plan was drawn up by Grainger and Miller. However, also in 1825, there was a stock market crash that started in the Bank of England, and, although Scotland was less affected, there was a decline in the rate of property development in Edinburgh. A few houses were built in 1845, but Sir Thomas died in 1848, and it was left to his heir, [[Dick_Lauder-4|Sir John Dick Lauder]], to implement the enterprise. In 1851 another feuing plan was drawn up by David Cousins, based on the 1825 plan, but breaking up the grid pattern by introducing Dalrymple Crescent, St Catherine Place and Tantallon Place as curved streets, softening the geometric layout of the first plans. The names of the streets are mostly linked to the Dick Lauder family. Dick Place and Lauder Road are obvious. Dalrymple Crescent was named after Sir John’s wife, [[Dalrymple-116|Anne Dalrymple]]. ==Feuing Dalrymple Crescent== In January 1862 an advertisement appeared in The Scotsman. There would be ‘Exposed to FEU by Public Auction, within the Rooms of Messrs Dowells & Lyon, No 18 George Street, Edinburgh, upon Monday 21st day of March 1862, at Twelve o’clock noon’: THOSE PORTIONS of the ENTAILED ESTATE of GRANGE consisting of Sixty-six Lots, laid out for Feus, as the same are delineated on a Feuing Plan, prepared by Mr Robert Reid Raeburn, Architect, Edinburgh, and situated in the Roads or Streets called, or to be called, the Mansion-House Road, Dick Place, the Lauder Road, Cumin Place, the Grange Road, Findhorn Place, Seton Place, Tantallon Place, Saint Catherine Place and Dalrymple Crescent The architect was now Robert Raeburn, and in his feuing plan of 1864, nine houses had already been built in Dalrymple Crescent. The lot numbers are shown in the diagram to the right The lots numbered 176 to 183, that is, all of the north side of Dalrymple Crescent except the corner site, had to be ‘one storey or one storey and a half only’. The plans and elevations had to be approved by Sir John Dick Lauder, and no building could commence ‘until the same had been sanctioned’. The south side of Dalrymple Crescent was offered in a similar auction on 22 September 1864, and, if anything, the conditions were even more strictly spelled out, with comments about the height of boundary walls, and the rights of adjacent properties that had already been feued. This time 54 pieces of land were auctioned, and those in Dalrymple Crescent were numbered 234 to 243. ==The Houses== In 1912 the Inland Revenue conducted a survey of houses in Scotland, and the National Archives of Scotland have the field workers’ note books in their possession. Although slightly later than our period, they offer the best insight into the physical structure of the houses in the late Victorian period. I have therefore drawn on them for the physical descriptions of the houses. In passing, I have noted where the field books give more information about the residents of the Crescent during the period we are interested in. ===House Nos 1 to 4 === '''No 1 (Lot 176)''' No 1 Dalrymple Crescent is described as a small detached house, two storeys high, with a slight camp1 on the first floor. Like most of the building in the street, the walls were of coursed rubble – that is the stones are evenly spaced, but unpolished. It had one bow window, with a polished stone surround. There was a single storey wing at the back. In 1912 the entrance was by a wood and glass vestibule on the west gable. It and the hall had tiled flooring. There was a pantry, and a press under the stairs. The lower rooms consisted of a dining room, a sitting room, and a kitchen, with a washhouse out the back. Upstairs there were four bedrooms, and a bathroom. [[Johnston-26482|Elizabeth Johnston]] had the house built in 1862 and rented it out. From 1863 to 1867 it was let to [[Gorrie-296|William Gorrie]]. Then [[Fraser-8572|Robert William Fraser]] rented it in 1868. Elizabeth died in 1869, and on 4 December 1869, the house was advertised for sale in The Scotsman, and on 20 January 1870 it was announced that it had been sold for £795. It had been bought by [[Gilmour-1290|David Gilmour]]. Robert Fraser continued to live there until 1873. Between 1875 and 1881 it was occupied by [[Phillips-42369|Mary Ann Philips]], and from 1882 until 1901 it was inhabited by [[Hicks-13913|Wallace Hicks]], who bought the house from David Gilmour in 1893. Wallace Hicks still owed the house at the time of the 1912 survey of buildings. '''No 2 (Lot177)''' No 2 Dalrymple Crescent was a cottage with six main rooms. It has been considerably enlarged since Victorian times, but the original building can still be easily discerned. [[Sinclair-1575|Elizabeth Sinclair]] and her sister Janet had the house built in 1863 and rented it out. The first tenant was [[Aitken-2071|Alexander Aitken]], who lived there from 1864 to 1865. Then [[Watt-5138|John Watt]] rented it between 1867 and 1869. [[Patterson-22796|John Crosbie Paterson]] was in residence from 1870 to 1882. The Sinclair sisters returned to the house in 1884. Elizabeth died in 1888, but Janet continued to live there until 1894, when the house was sold to [[Stewart-51607|John Stewart]], who was still living there in 1901. '''No 3 (Lot 178)''' [[Lothian-128|Edward Lothian]] had the house built in 1863 and lived in it. We have a description of the cottage, as given in The Scotsman when the property was advertised in February 1878. It contained a dining room, drawing room, three bedrooms, kitchen washing house, etc. The grounds were ‘laid out with much taste’ and there was a large conservatory and small forcing house. Sometime between 1881 and 1885 the house was altered, and a new storey was built onto the original cottage, and a tower was added. The 1881 census reported that it had five rooms, but by the time of the 1901 census it had ten rooms. Edward Lothian sold the house to [[ Stewart-51627|Duncan Fraser Stewart]] in April 1878, who lived in it until 1884, when he rented it out. The first tenant was [[Bertram-1164|David Noble Bertram]], who lived there from 1886 to 1889. The house was empty at the time of the 1891 census, but [[Bett-146|James Bett]] died there in September 1891 and between 1892 and 1894 his daughter, [[Bett-147|Mrs John Willison]], was living there. In December of that year Duncan Stewart transferred the property to his wife, [[Divine-465|Mary Catherine Divine]] . From 1895 to 1901 it was occupied by [[Gibson-25588|Richard Gibson]] and his family. Mrs Stewart still owned the house in 1912, when it was let to [[Boulton-465|Mrs Edith R Ransome]], the mother of the author [[Ransome-173|Arthur Ransome]]. '''No 4 (Lot 179)''' No 4 is described in the 1912 survey as a single-storey detached house. The front walls were of polished ashlars, with a front bow window and an attic window. The side and back walls were of coursed rubble. There was a wing to east, and an outhouse to the back. Since then a more modern extension has been built on it, but the original house is still discernible. The feu for the land was bought by [[Inglis-1862|Robert Inglis]], who then sold it to the builder [[Rutherford-6633|David Rutherford]]. who built No 4 in 1866. He sold it to [[Smith-259391|Robert Sinclair Smith]] the following year. Smith lived there until 1869, when he sold the house to [[Sinclair-8319|James Sinclair]]. James lived there until 1886, and he and his family then rented it to [[Graham-28506|David Graham]] from 1887 to 1895, and to the [[ Buist-149|Buist]] family from 1896 to 1901. In 1912 the owner was [[Sinclair-8329|Martha Stevenson]], the daughter of James Sinclair ===House Nos 5 to 8=== '''No 5 (Lot 180)''' No 5 is also a single-storey cottage. Extensive work has been done to the back of the house, but the front is relatively unaltered. In 1912 it was described as a one and a half, ‘almost two’ storey building with a wooden porch to the door. The ground floor consisted of a dining room, drawing room, kitchen and servant’s room. There was also a washhouse. Behind there was a one-storey cool house, and also a one storey wooden room that led into the back of the house. On the first floor there were two bedrooms, a small room, and ‘a good size room’ as well as a bathroom with a WC, a basin in good condition, and a bath. It was built by [[ Hunter-21342 | James Hunter]] and sold to [[Newcombe-713|Henry Newcombe]] in July 1864. He who owned the house until his death on 2 October 1898. The house was then put up for auction and acquired on behalf of [[Grieg-381|James Thomson Grieg]], who was still living in the house in 1901. '''No 6 (Lot 181)''' No 6 was built by [[ Hunter-21308 | Robert Hunter]] in 1862 for his own use. In March 1874 when the house was put up for sale it was described as a ‘Handsome Cottage’ with a dining room, drawing room, five bedrooms, kitchen, scullery, bathroom ‘(Hot and Cold Water)’. The garden is described in detail: ‘about a quarter of an Acre, with Greenhouse, Two Vineries, Boiler &c’. The advertisement states that the house was ‘built for proprietor’s own occupancy’, After the [[Space:Murder at 6 Dalrymple Crescent|tragic events]] of 1865, Robert Hunter sold No 6 to [[Henderson-26306|David Henderson]], who lived there from 1866 to 1874.. It was then bought by [[Brechin-130|James Brechin]], who lived there until February 1878, when he sold the house to [[Thomson-12546|Isabella Thompson]] and her two sisters, Helen and Mary. They lived in the house until 1886, when they sold it to [[Middlemass-76|John Middlemass]]. He lived there from 1886 to 1898, and sold it to [[Ritchie-5330|Elizabeth Ritchie]] in May 1898. She lived in the house until 1901, when she sold it to [[Maccalman-41|Isabella Maclea]]n in March 1901. '''No 7 (part of Lot 182)''' No 7 is a semi-detached house, one of a pair built by [[Hunter-21310|Samuel Hunter]] in 1864. The Inland Revenue survey of 1912 merely describes it as being similar to No 8. It has two floors, with dormer windows in the upper floor. In May 1864 Samuel Hunter sold No 7 to [[Wilson-92972|Charles Wilson]], who lived there with his wife until he died in 1884. His son inherited the property, but his widow lived there until 1894, when the property was sold to [[Rutherford-6214|Frank Rutherford]], who was still living there in 1901. At that time the house was known as Neworth Cottage. '''No 8 (part of Lot 182)''' This is the other half of the pair of semi-detached villas built by [[Hunter-21310|Samuel Hunter]] . The survey of 1912 describes No 8 in a rather succinct manner. There was a dining room with an oriel window, and a kitchen with provision for a bed and accommodation for a maid, but no scullery. There was a servant’s room and WC, and a coalhouse outside. Upstairs there was a drawing room, and two bedrooms, both in excellent condition. The front wall was of polished ashlar, and the back wall had a course of ‘Squared snecked rubble’. The gable was of coursed rubble, and the roof of slate. In January 1865 Samuel Hunter sold the house to [[Campbell-51604|George Campbell]] who subsequently sold it to [[Bell-36931|William Bell]] in 1878. William Bell was still living in the house in 1912. ===House Nos 9 to 12=== '''No 9 (part of Lot 182)''' In the Inland Revenue survey, No 9 is described as a one and a half storey cottage of rubble walls with polished stone surrounding the windows, and two small gables. The front was covered in ivy, and there was a wing to the back. The accommodation consisted of a drawing room with a white marble fire surround, a dining room, with a press which went right back under the landing of the stairs. On the ground floor there was also a bathroom and kitchen. The upper floor had three bedrooms. Off one was a small closet ‘not large enough for a room’, but it had a roof light. There was a small dressing room with a window between the other two bedrooms. The general structure of the house has not changed much since it was built by [[Hunter-21310|Samuel Hunter]] in 1864. In January 1865 Samuel Hunter sold it to [[Mudie-261|David Cowan Mudie]], who lived here until 1871, when he bought No 10, and moved into it. No 9 was rented out, first to [[Henderson-21259|Andrew Henderson]], from 1872 to 1877, and them to [[Usher-1423|Andrew William Usher]], from 1878 to 1888. From 1889 to 1897 it was occupied by [[Paterson-4486|Robert Paterson]] and his son, Andrew. Then from 1898 to 1901 it was rented by [[Jamieson-3540|George R Jamieson]]. '''No 10 (part of Lot 183)''' No 10 is a substantial detached house, built by the architects [[Leadbetter-317|Leadbetter]] & Smith and sold in May 1864 to [[Duncan-13633|Rev John Duncan]] . He died in February 1870 and his trustees appear to have rented No 10 to [[Anderson-58765|Rev Harry Anderson]] and his sisters Helen and Susan Anderson. In April 1872 the trustees sold the house to David Cowan Mudie, who lived there until his death in 1893. The house was then rented out, to Harry Lawrence Usher from 1896 to 1898, and to [[Gracie-503|Robert S Graci]]e in 1900 and 1901. '''No 11 (part of Lot 183)''' No 11 is also a detached house, similar in style to No 10, also built by Leadbetter and Smith. The Inland Revenue survey of 1912 describes its accommodation. Downstairs there was a dining room and sitting room, in good condition, with a marble fireplace in the sitting room. There was a kitchen and a servant’s room, and a washhouse with tubs and a sink. Upstairs there were four bedrooms and a modern bathroom. [[Bathgate-225|George Tod Bathgate]] bought it in April 1863, but in March 1864 he advertised it in The Scotsman for sale by Public Roup and was bought by [[Lister-2171|Richard Lister]]. It was sold in May 1870 to [[ Banks-7834|Henry Haig Banks]]. In 1879 Henry Haig Banks sold no 11 to [[Anderson-59013|John Anderson]]. It was rented to [[Gardiner-4136|John D Gardiner]] in 1881 and 1882, and thereafter the Anderson family lived in it until 1901. '''No 12 (Lot 184)''' Throughout Victorian times the house on the north-east corner of the street was known as 25 Findhorn Place, but later became renumbered as 12 Dalrymple Crescent. It was owned by [[Middlemass-75|Robert Middlemass]], and he and his family lived there throughout the period. In 1871 The house had twelve rooms, but in 1876 the architect Charles Leadbetter extended or modified the house, which was now known as Rathan, and by the 1881 census it had 16 rooms. The Journal of Decorative Art of 1877 described it as a ’luxurious decorative scheme by Joseph Shaw & Co’ Gifford, J., McWilliam, C. and Walker, D. M., ‘Edinburgh (The Buildings of Scotland)’, Harmondsworth: Penguin Books Ltd, 1984 ISBN 014071068, page 598 ===House Nos 13 to 16=== The houses on the south side of Dalrymple Crescent fall into two groups: No 13 and Nos 24 to 27 are substantial detached houses, mostly lived in by their owners. Nos 14 to 23 are three-storey semi-detached villas, built by [[Alexander-17814|George Alexander]] specifically for renting. The landscape of the south side also affects the design of the houses. There is a substantial drop in the land running east to west through the grounds of the houses on the south side. Consequently most houses are two-storey at the front, facing the street, but three-storey at the back. Nos 24 to 26 were developed considerably later than the rest. '''No 13 (Lot 243)''' No 13 occupies the corner site on the south east of Dalrymple Crescent. The Inland Revenue record of 1912 describes it as a one and a half-storey detached house, with front wall of coursed rubble. It has two small gables with bargeboards projecting in front. There is a three-storey gable to the back, and a low two-storey part to this wing to the east. (The ground slopes to the rear, so the back has more stories than the front). In the basement there was a kitchen with a concrete floor, and a ‘jaw box’ (a sink and drain) and a washhouse. There was also a WC with an old seat, a pulley, and cellarage. There were three steps up to the ground floor, where there was a bedroom, a dining room and a drawing room. In the wing there was a small bathroom with a zinc lined WC, and also a pantry. On the upper floor there were two good-sized bedrooms to the front, with camp ceilings, and another bedroom to the back. There was also a small store and two presses, with a small window to the back. [[Chalmers-1979|Alexander Henderson Chalmers]] had the house built by 1865. [[Gemmell-50|Reverend Robert Gemmell]] bought the house from Alexander Henderson Chalmers, the transaction being dated 28 July 1865. From 1879 to 1881 the house was let out to [[Jenkinson-1242|William Jenkinson]], but the Gemmells returned in 1882. Robert died there in November 1886, and the house was again let out. [[Peach-1145|Benjamin Peach]] occupied it between 1887 and 1891. [[Wilson-93565|David Hugh Wilson]] lived there 1893 and 1894, and [[Watson-28842|Mrs Anne Kinmont]] rented it from 1895 to 1897, or possibly later. In February 1899 house Elizabeth Gemmell sold the house to [[Scott-41533|William Blues Scott]], whose family lived there from 1899 to 1901 '''No 14 (part of Lot 242)''' No 14 is an eight-roomed semi-detached villa, the first (from the east) of the houses built by [[Alexander-17814|George Alexander]]. In 1871, it was rented by [[Wellstood-4|Stephen Wellstood]], and Robert Beattie was also listed as living there in that year. From 1873 to 1877 it was let to [[Cleland-556|Miss Cleland]], and [[Brodie-5910|William Brodie]] lived there from 1878 to 1881. [[MacKinnon-1680|Donald MacKinnon]] occupied it from 1883 to 1886, and [[Paterson-4571|Jane]] and Isabella Paterson rented from 1888 to 1901. '''No 15 (part of Lot 242)''' No 15 seems to have been a much bigger house than No 14 as there were 13 rooms recorded in 1871. This is probably due to the slope of the ground, which means that there was more headroom in the basement of No 15, allowing for proper rooms and not just storage. Also built by [[Alexander-17814|George Alexander]]. No 15 seems to have been a much bigger house than No 14 as there were 13 rooms recorded in 1871. This is probably due to the slope of the ground, which means that there was more headroom in the basement of No 15, allowing for proper rooms and not just storage. It was rented by [[Pulsford-85|Rev John Pulsford]] from 1869 to 1879. [[Whyte-1805|David K B Whyte]] occupied it from 1882 to 1885, and [[Russell-29539|Mrs William Steel]] was living there between 1887 and 1890. [[Strang-1532|Walter Strang]] had the house from 1891 to 1894. The [[MacKillop-163|Mackillop]] family lived there from 1895 to 1901, and the villa was again available for rent in October 1901. '''No 16 (part of Lot 241)''' The Inland Revenue survey of 1912 describes No 16 as a semi-detached villa with a polished ashlar front wall. There is a two-storey bow window, with moulded quoins and a heavily moulded wall head course. There is a three-storey bow window to the back. On the ground floor the accommodation consisted of a sitting room with a marble mantelpiece, a pantry, dining room and nursery room. On the first floor there was a small bedroom over the hall, another bedroom, a bathroom and a drawing room with a white marble mantelpiece. Downstairs there was a small bedroom, the kitchen, with a small room off it, and various storerooms and cellars. Nos 16 to 19 are slightly grander than the other houses built by [[Alexander-17814|George Alexander]], as they all have bay windows on both floors. Nos 14, 15 and 20 to 23 have ‘flat’ frontages. From 1869 to 1874 the house was occupied by [[Sibbald-230|John Sibbald]]. [[Sime-194|James Sime]] was living there in 1875 and 1876, and the [[Cleland-1060|Misses Cleland]] had the house between 1877 and 1879. In 1879 [[Brown-146269|Hugh Andrew Brown]] died there. From 1881 to 1887 it was rented to [[Smith-269545|Mrs Oliver Russell]]. From 1888 to 1897 it was the home of [[Macdonald-10382|Alicia Sutherland]]. [[Crawford-22631|Miss Margaret Crawford]] died there in 1899, and from 1900 onwards it was rented to [[Scott-47833|Agnes Gibson]]. ===House Nos 17 to 20=== '''No 17 (part of Lot 241)''' No 17 was built slightly later than some of [[Alexander-17814|George Alexander]]’s houses, being first occupied in 1872. [[Leitch-1080|Margaret Rosie]] moved here from No 20 in 1872, and lived in it until 1874 when [[MacCalman-31|Archibald MacCalman]] was the tenant. He lived in the house until 1876. [[McLachlan-1087|W B McLachlan]] rented it in 1877, and [[Fisher-30749|Rev G Fisher]] occupied it in 1878. From 1879 to 1886 it was the home of[[ Ballantyne-1005|Margaret Lamb], and [[Patterson-23924|Leslie O Paterson]] was the tenant from 1888 to 1893. John Bruce lived there in 1894, but we have no further information about him. [[Stevenson-9918|George Stevenson]] and his family occupied it in 1895, and were still living there in 1901. '''No 18 (part of Lot 240)''' No 18 is one of four semi-detached villas built slightly later than the rest, and with more architectural detail. It was not occupied at the time of the 1871 census, but [[Don-167|Mrs Webster]] lived there later in the year, and Miss Webster was living there from 1872 to 1874. It was then rented by [[Lawson-615|William Lawson]] from 1877 to 1881. [[Pearson-10862|Charlotte Dalziel]] lived there from 1882 to 1884. There was a change of tenancy in February 1885, when the ‘household furniture and other effects’ were auctioned at Dowell’s auction house. [[Brook-1335|George Brook]] was resident in 1888. [[Shiells-196|C. J. Shiells]] lived there in 1890 and 1891, and [[Black-24858|James H Black]] in 1892 and 1893. Finally [[Mustard-511|Alexander Mustard]] lived in the house from 1894 to 1901. '''No 19 (part of Lot 240)''' We only have a description of the accommodation of No 19 from the Inland Revenue records of 1812. On the ground floor there was a drawing room, a dining room, one bedroom, a small press with a wash-hand basin, and another press in the hall. There was a small room used as a kitchen. In the basement there was another kitchen with a servant’s room off it, a coal store and a wash house. On the first floor there was a drawing room, a bedroom and a bathroom. [[Dick-5373|John Dick]] rented the house from 1872 to 1885, and during that time, in 1875, [[Wauch-19|Charlotte Algeo]] died at the house. [[Oliver-12651|Archibald Oliver]] was the tenant from 1886 to 1894, and [[Johnston-25584|John G Johnston]] rented the house in 1897 and was still living there in 1901. '''No 20 (part of Lot 239)''' No 20 was rented to [[Leitch-1080|Margaret Rosie]] from 1868 to 1871. Then [[Walker-42407|Colonel W Walker]] became the tenant from 1872 to 1874. [[Rodger-709|Mrs Williamson]] lived there in 1876, and [[Cownie-1|Thomas Ogilvy Cownie]] rented it in 1877 and 1878. [[Dymock-126|Rev Thomas Dymock]] lived there from 1881 until his death in 1888, and his widow continued to live in the house until she died in 1897. Her son, Thomas Dymock junior was living there in 1898, and in 1901 it was occupied by [[Robertson-23684|William F Robertson]]. ===House Nos 21 to 23=== '''No 21 (part of Lot 239)''' The house was first occupied by [[Simpson-17842|John Simpson]], from 1868 to 1873. [[Lockhart-2558|Mrs Mary Amelia Downie]] and her daughter Mrs Jean Campbell Firmstone were both living there in 1875. The Misses [[Plummer-4169|Plummer]] were living there some time in 1876, and [[Cownie-4|James Gibb Cownie]] rented it from 1877 to 1878. The house was advertised to let in The Scotsman in May 1878. In 1879 the tenant was [[Kemp-8489|Alexander Kemp]], and then it was rented by [[Crouch-159|David Crouch]] from 1881 to 1891. [[Bryan-2911|Mrs Louisa Nicol]]l lived there in 1895 and 1896, and [[Pennefather-186|Robert Pennefather]] was the tenant from 1897 to 1900. Subsequently [[Pearson-18225|Frank R T Pearson]] was renting the house in 1901. '''No 22 (part of Lot 238)''' No 22 had a large number of tenants over the period.[[ Balfour-1784|Mrs J Forster Pratt]] was living here in 1869 and 1870. At the time of the 1871 census, it was occupied by [[Inglis-2037|Charlotte Brand]]. Then [[Lister-2171|Richard Liste]] rented it from 1872 to 1876, and he was followed by [[Stuart-6649|Rev James T Stuart]] in 1877 and 1878. [[Fowden-8|Eleanor Fowden]] rented the property from 1878 to 1880, and [[Legendre-69|Mrs Jas Hay Ower]] was living there from 1881 to 1884. In 1887 it was occupied by [[Lundin_Brown-1|R. L. Lundin Brown]], and from 1889 to 1893 [[Little-16988|Jane McJerrow]] rented it. During this time, in 1892, [[Rowe-10629|Mrs H M Parry]] gave her address as 22 Dalrymple Crescent. From 1895 to 1900 it was occupied by [[Young-45596|George A Young]]. Finally, [[Robertson-23944|James Robertson]] was renting it in 1901. '''No 23 (part of Lot 238)''' .No 23 was also rented by a large number of people. [[Crouch-155|Henry Brougham Crouch]] was the tenant from 1869 to 1971, and he was followed by [[Dick-4226|Robert Dick]] in 1873 and 1874. [[Banks-10116|John H Banks]] was living there in 1876, and from 1877 to 1884 the tenant was Fulton-3246|James J Fulton]]. [[Mackie-2853|George Macki]]e lived there in 1887 and 1888, and [[Cowan-4668|Mary S Edgar]] was the tenant at the time of the 1891 census. [[Binny-62|Mrs G C Rosebank Hay]] was living there in 1894, and [[Salmon-2662|Mrs Anne S Paterson]] in 1896. {{Paterson-5453|Rev Alex Paterson]] was there in 1897 and 1898, and [[Stewart-52186|John Stewart of Ensay]] died there in 1899. [[Cotton-4029|Mrs J A Bryden]] was in residence at the time of the 1901 census. ===House Nos 24 to 27=== '''No 24 (Lot 237)''' No 24 is built on one of three plots of land owned by [[Paterson-4584|John Paterson]]. The site passed through various hands and there is no record of a house on the site until December 1886, when [[Matthew-698|John Robb Matthew]] bought the property. This makes it the last house to be built in the Crescent. It is a detached house of 13 rooms. John Matthew died shortly after buying the house, but his widow continued to live there until the end of the century. '''No 25 (Lot 236)''' No 25 is also a detached house, built in a classic style. It is the middle plot of the three bought by [[Paterson-4584|John Paterson]]. His estate sold it to [[Stratton-4464| George Stratton]], who built the house, which he then rented out. The first tenant was [[Gregory-11805|Rev James Gregory]], who lived there from 1880 to 1887. It was then let to [[Hay-5874|James Hay]] between 1888 and 1898. George Stratton died in 1897, and his trustees sold the house to [[Hall-48602|James Hal]]l, who lived there from 1899 onwards. '''No 26 (Lot 235)''' No 26 is the most westerly of the three plots owned by [[Paterson-4584|John Paterson]]. , and was sold to [[Cownie-1| Thomas Ogilvie Cownie]] in 1878. He lived there with his family until he died in 1898. The house was put up for auction soon after he died. It was described as: :‘Convenient and Commodious DETACHED VILLA of 3 Public Rooms, 6 Bed-Rooms, Dressing-Room, Bath-Room and Lavatories, Kitchen, Laundry, Servants’ Accommodation, Housemaid’s Pantry with Lift, and other Pantries, Closets and Presses. Ground Quarter Acre’ The upset price was ‘moderate’ and the Feu duty £6-5s. However it was not sold, and his widow, Margaret Cownie, continued to live in it until 1901. In the Inland Revenue survey of 1912 the house is described as a one-and-three-quarter-storey detached house with coursed rubble walls, gables and back wall. The gable to the front was fitted with bargeboards and half-timber work, and projecting eaves. There was one small attic, and the front canopy over the door was supported by wooden trusses. The boundary walls were rubble, and there was a parapet wall and railings to the front. There was a small tool house on the south boundary. Accommodation consisted of a basement kitchen with a good range. There was also a scullery with sink and a small service hoist. There was a washhouse with a brick floor, two wooden tubs, and a boiler. On this floor there was also a bedroom, a coal cellar, a WC, and a wine cellar with stone shelves. There was a larder under the stair. In addition there was a nursery with a window giving on to the garden, and a press containing a washbasin. On the ground floor, there was a dining room, another small room, a small bedroom, and a pantry. Wooden stairs led to the first floor, where there were four bedrooms, a small dressing room, a bathroom and WC. '''No 27 - originally No 30 (Lot 234)''' The last house on the southwest side of the Crescent is another large detached house, built in 1874. The land had been sold to [[Hogg-3212|James Hogg]], a builder and joiner, and during 1874 it was advertised in The Scotsman. By 1875 the house had been bought by [[More-967|Camilla More]] and her family. They were still there in 1912 when the Inland Revenue survey took place. It described the building as a two-storey detached house with rubble walls and two-storey bow windows. There was a hot-house in the back garden, with a parapet wall and railings to the front. =The People= ===Years 1862 to 1871=== :1862 ::[[Johnston-26482|Elizabeth Johnston]] had '''No 1''' built and

{{One Place Study|place=Danby Wiske, Yorkshire|category=Danby Wiske, Yorkshire One Place Study}} == Introduction == My earliest known paternal ancestor is '''John WILKINSON''' who married at Danby Wiske in '''1736''', and there are earlier WILKINSONs I would like to lay claim to. Coincidentally, it turns out that I grew up right across the road from the ancestral farm.

The outcome will be connecting those facts -'' 'joining the dots' ''- to tell the stories of ordinary people and families living their lives in an ordinary Yorkshire village, and to establish their connections to each other and larger historical events.

George's parents were regularly pressured to conform to the state religion, one result being that brothers George and Christopher were given a Protestant education at Bilton near York. Academically inclined, George went on to Oxford University at the age of 14 to study foreign languages, and by '''1597''', had earned his degree. After university, George is known to have travelled extensively on the continent, broadening his mind and worldview far beyond his humble parochial origins. Since the 1559 ''Act of Uniformity'', anyone aspiring to hold high office had been required to swear an ''Oath of Allegiance'' to the Queen as monarch and as head of the Church of England, and indeed George Calvert's career and attendant success would not have been possible without doing so. Religious persecution aside, Elizabethan England was an era of progress and opportunity, and George boldly navigated his path in life from local gentry to national prominence in the latter part of the reign of [[Tudor-1|Queen Elizabeth I]], and later achieving fame beyond England's shores. '''1603''' was the final year of the Queen Bess' reign, and it was after her death that George Calvert was hired as a '''private secretary''' to [[Cecil-3|Sir Robert Cecil]], Secretary of State and famed spymaster to [[Stuart-2|King James VI of Scotland, James I of England]] at the beginning of the Stuart era. In '''1616''', George Calvert was granted the manor of '''Danby Wiske'''. 3 years later in '''1619''', George received a knighthood and with it, the right to style himself 'Sir George Calvert.' The same year, King James I issued a license granting George Calvert permission to purchase the Kiplin estate of his birth from Philip Lord WHARTON, wherein George is described as the King's "'''secretary of state, and faithful counselor'''."By '''1622''', George is in the midst of building himself a Jacobean mansion that would be known as '''Kiplin Hall''', and it's reasonable to think he spent a significant amount of time in Yorkshire over the previous 6 years, tending to his interests in Kiplin and in the manor of Danby Wiske. Between his boyhood spent in Yorkshire, and later managing his properties as a grown man, George Calvert was plenty fond of Yorkshire, declaring in a 12 Sep 1630 letter to fellow Yorkshireman Sir Thomas Wentworth: '''''"I love Richmondshire with all my heart and it warms me when you talk of it, as cold a country as it is"'''''. Both a compliment and a 'put down,' the remark perfectly encapsulates the Yorkshire art of humourous backhanded compliments ideally delivered in a deadpan manner. 1620, he founded the colony of Avalon in Newfoundland, eventually spending £25,000 to support it. Wife died in 1622 In 1625, George was in middle age and ever more inclined to revert to the 'Old Faith' of his youth and his heritage, but such a decision would have serious consequences, especially for a man lately risen to status and property. By year's end, George had publicly declared his Catholicism. Catholic or not, the King granted him lands in County Longford, Ireland and the title 1st Baron Baltimore (after a hamlet in Longford of the same name) Like many victims of religious persecution before and after him, George's faith ultimately led him to his most ambitious project yet: emigrating to a new continent in 1627-28. He went of course to his own colony of Avalon, but discovered the harsh climate did not suit him, so moved on to Virginia in 1628. Unwilling to swear an oath of loyalty to the King, the Burgesses of Virginia refused his request for a charter to found a colony there. .... MORE STUFF... Known as the ''"founder of the Colony of Maryland,"'' Lord Baltimore never set actually foot in the Colony, dying in '''1632''' 5 weeks before the charter for lands in Maryland was granted, whereupon his son '''Cecil''' become 2nd Baron Baltimore. Danby Wiske boasts at least 1 ''possible'' tribute to the 1st Baron Baltimore, namely a place identified as '''''Calvert's Field''''' on 1850's Ordinance Survey maps and located a little over 1 mile south of the village along '''Mounstall Lane''', but by the 1890's had been renamed '''''Brogden'''''. Foster, James W, "George Calvert: His Yorkshire Boyhood" in Maryland Historical Magazine Winter (1960), Vol 12, p261-274 [https://archive.org/details/msa_sc_5881_1_220/page/n1/mode/2up '''Internet Archive'''] accessed 28 Feb 2022 {{YouTube|xBHGmK3QAAc|A Kiplin Hall Treasury - Calvert}} (29 Mar 2020) Youtube video created by Kiplin Hall & Gardens, featuring curator Dawn Webster (11:01 min) accessed 28 Feb 2022 ---- ====Maud Balliol, sister to a Scottish King==== '''[[Balliol-30|Maud (Balliol) FitzAlan -(1340)]]''' was not a local girl, or even an English one, but her husband '''[[FitzAlan-658|Sir Bryan FitzAlan]]''' was Lord of the manor of BEDALE (8 miles SW of Danby Wiske), and descended from '''[[Rufus-1|Count Alan Rufus, 1st Lord of Richmond]]''' (12 miles due West of Danby Wiske), a companion and kinsman of '''[[Normandie-32|William the Conqueror]]'''. Maud was a 5th generation descendant of '''[[Dunkeld-68|King David I of Scotland]]''', and fate was such that Sir Bryan FitzAlan's position as Guardian of Scotland meant he was tasked with ensuring that Maud's brother '''[[Balliol-8|John Balliol of Scotland]]''' inherited the Scottish crown in 1292. John's reign was disastrous and ended 4 years later in 1296, when he was forced into exile. But Maud had now met the man she would marry, and her future would unfold in Yorkshire. Maud died in 1340 and 202 years after her ancestor King David I's soldiers had rampaged their way through the Danby Wiske area in 1138 during '''[[Blois-94|King Stephen I]]''' 's reign. They had left the scars of their swords on the parish church before the slaughtering began on Cowton Moor at the '''Battle of the Standard''''. =====A Hypothesis for Maud's 'Effigy'===== Who would want to have an effigy in the village of Danby Wiske? It's presence could only benefit the local inhabitants, but to what end? And for what purpose? It's no small undertaking to move a big slab of stone, or an entire tomb, so it wouldn't be a trivial reason or purpose.... Locals likely still told, and felt, the gruesome tales of the battle fought by their ancestors going back a mere 5-7 generations. It's not unreasonable to think that they may even have commemorated such an important local historical event. The 200th anniversary of the battle might have been especially poignant, and provided the impetus for a special commemoration, perhaps the kind where an important physical object connected to the Scottish king might be used to enact a ritual to avenge their slaughtered ancestors? The existence of life-sized likeness or effigy of a 5th generation descendant of King David I would be almost too perfect for such a purpose, and perhaps a few years after the bicentennial, providence supplied an opportunity to 'acquire' the tomb cover that would be repurposed as an effigy. ---- ===Excerpts from the Parish Register=== ====Horse Thief Executed at York==== Between '''1724''' and '''1730''', '''John CHAPPELLO & Cecily FRANK''' (married 7 Jun 1724 at Middleton Tyas) had 4 children baptized at Danby Wiske. By '''1734''', John had been executed at '''YORK''' for the crime of horse stealing. With 4 fatherless children to feed, Cicely had remarried to John WHELDON at Danby Wiske by later that same year. I can be confident that the fellow hung at YORK is the same John CHAPPELLO who fathered the children baptized in Danby Wiske, because the parish priest saw fit to go back in the register and make note of the execution in the margins beside the entry for several of the children's baptisms. '''John CHAPPELLO executed 1734 | York Castle''' ---- ====A Generous Village==== '''Mr. Roger WILKINSON''', later High Constable, was the first 'WILKINSON known to be baptized at Danby Wiske on 26 Mar 1636/37, by parents Roger & Alice. In '''1676''', Roger was entrusted with the money collected by parishioners for victims of a fire in '''Southwark''' in Middlesex. Danby Wiske residents had donated '''£0 8s 3d''' to the cause, with a further '''£0 2s 0d''' collected from '''Yafforth'''. The receipt in the parish register reads: # '' "For Southwark w[hic]h by a fire on May 26 1675 [should be 1676] lost in goods £26,000 13s 0d in buildings £58,375 0s 0d, in total £84,375 13s 0d gathered eight shillings and three pence[.] This and two shillings for Yafford was paid to Mr Roger WILKINSON High Constable January 1676/7"' --- [Roger WILKINSON's signature]" '' [Overshadowed in popular history, the fiery destruction of an estimated 624 houses in Southwark was comparable to the '''[[Wikipedia: Great Fire of London|Great Fire of London]]''' 10 years earlier in '''1666'''.] The same page in the parish register is filled with similar donations for the period 1673-1679, nearly always on account of fires. Donations were collected for towns, for churches and even for individuals. The generosity of Danby Wiske villagers' generosity benefitted poor souls across the country in places such as: *John Baker of Knaresborough, Yorkshire - fire 10 Mar 1673 resulting in loss of £150?. Donation: 16d: (Yafforth: ???) *Northampton, Northamptonshire - fire 20 Sep 1675 caused £102,008 4s 6d in losses, and "£50,000 more" in damage to public buildings. Donation: £0 10s 4d 1/2 (Yafforth: 3 shillings) *Newent, Gloucestershire - due to church falling, rebuilding cost £2,000. Donation: £0 1s 3d (Yafforth: 1 shilling) *Oswestry?, Shropshire - church pulled down. Donation: £0 0s 19d 1/2 (Yafforth: £0 0s 13d) *Eaton (near Windors), Buckinghamshire - fire on 14 Dec 1676, rebuilding cost £2,399 8s 0d. Donation: £0 2s 9d (Yafforth: a? shilling) *Cottenham, Cambridgeshire - fire 29 Apr 1679 resulting in losses of £13,342 5s 0d. Donation: £0 2s 0d (Yafforth: £0 1s 11d) *Towcester, Northamptonshire - fire resulting in losses of £1,637 6s 8d. Donation: £3 1s 6d (Yafforth: £1 6s) *Wem?, Shropshire - fire resulting in losses of £3,077 3s 4d. Donation: £3 4s 1/2d (Yafforth: ???) *Pattingham?, Staffordshire - fire Donation: £3 5s 0d (Yafforth: £1 6s 0d) '''Roger WILKINSON''' was not alone in being entrusted to remit parishioners donations, other such trustees include: '''Miles OVINGTON'''(2x), '''John STRANGEWAYS'''(1x), '''James DARLING(?)'''(1x) and '''William HUNTBOARK col'''(5x). Another donation receipt is dated 14 Jul 1701 in the amount £0 4s 6d for the benefit of '''''"ye Captives of Maihater??"''''' is further testament to the generous spirit of humble Yorkshire folk. ---- ====Connections to I'ANSON Family==== =====Captain John I'ANSON of Hauxwell===== The METCALFE Society is well-known among Yorkshire genealogists, but another famous genealogy: '''"A History of the I'Anson Family"''' by '''Brian I'Anson''' was published in 1915. The early '''I'ANSON''' lineage of one '''Captain John I'ANSON''' of a '' 'man-of-war' '' during the reign of '''Henry VIII''', and his descent from French nobility are largely unsubstantiated, but Hauxwell parish registers start in the late 16th century, so the book becomes useful at that point. The first '''I'ANSON''' family connection to Danby Wiske begins when '''Elizabeth I'ANSON''' of HACKFORTH married '''DANBY WISKE''' native '''Ralph ALCOCK''' in '''1742''' at '''HORNBY''' (near BEDALE). '''Elizabeth I'ANSON''' is listed in the I'ANSON genealogy, and the '''EAST HAUXWELL''' parish register shows she was baptized on '''9 Jan 1719/20''' by parents '''Richard & Deborah I'ANSON''' living at HACKFORTH. '''Elizabeth & Ralph ALCOCK''''s first 2 children were baptized at BIRKBY, followed by 7 children baptized at Danby Wiske. Remarkably for the period, all 9 children survived infancy and most of them lived well into old age: 2 living into their 90s, and 5 more living into their 80s. ---- =====Other I'ANSONs in Danby Wiske to Research===== * 1736 Will of '''Elizabeth (Wooller) I'ANSON''' widow of Northallerton who died 1740, probate files shows her son '''John I'ANSON''' is living in '''Williamsburg, Virginia''' in 1748 when he signed an affadavit regarding his mother's estate that was witnessed by '''Mayor John AMSON'''. * '''John ROGERS alias JANSON''' was the father of '''Jane ROGERS''' baptized at Danby Wiske in '''1721''', and his wife's burial in 1729 records her name as '''Mary ROGERS alias JANSON, wife of John'''. John married 3 times: to '''Mary Gill''' at Brompton in '''1721''', to '''Grace ROGERS''' at Great Smeaton in '''1729''', and finally '''Catherine MASTERMAN''' at Danby Wiske in '''1731'''. ** Why was he using the names '''ROGERS''' AND also '''I'ANSON'''? * Other '''I'ANSONs''' BMDs recorded on early parish registers at Northallerton and at Danby Wiske, often under the surname spelling variations: '''JANSON''', '''JINSON''' or '''JHINSON'''. ---- ===Other Snippets=== ====Evaluation of Little Danby in 1361==== Known as '''Little Danby Hall''' today, Little or 'Parva' Danby is located 1.5 miles south of the village along Mounstall Lane, and documents for a Chancery case from the year 1361 exist at The National Archives (UK) in Kew [https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C9536230 DOC REF: C 131/12/11] concerning creditor Thomas [no surname] chaplain of Danby Wiske's claim against debtor Thomas [no surname] of Little Danby. As ''"Thomas de Little Danby has no goods or chattels in his bailiwick"'', on 9 Jan 1361/62, the bailiff of the liberty of the Abbot of St Mary's, York made an 'extent' [appraisal] of Little Danby, and recorded the following: {| border="1" !Quantity!!Unit!!Description!!Category!!Shillings (s)!!Pence (d)!!Value (s) |- |1||||a capital messuage "clear"||Property||20||||240 |- |34||acres||meadow||Land||3||4||1360 |- |200||acres||land||Land||3||||7200 |- |26||acres||wheat||Crops||3||4||1040 |- |1||in the sheaf||wheat||Yield||24||4||292 |- |1||in the sheaf||barley & oats||Yield||46||8||560 |- |1||in the rick||hay||Yield||33||4||400 |- |1||||beans & peas||Yield||6||8||80 |- |1||in the sheaf||mixtil||Yield||16||||192 |- |3||bushel||rye||Yield||||5||15 |- |5||||calves||Animals||2||||120 |- |5||||pigs||Animals||2||||120 |- |7||||piglets||Animals||||10||70 |- |1||||a cart with iron tyres||Goods||3||8||44 |- |1||||a jug and bowl||Goods||||18||18 |- |1||||a lead cistern||Goods||3||||36 |- |2||||brass pots||Goods||3||4||80 |- |2||||bowls||Goods||7||6||180 |- |1||||an andiron and a lamp||Goods||||16||16 |- |1||||a little tub||Goods||||12||12 |- |||||GRAND TOTAL||||1006||3||12075 |} ''The pound (£) was introduced in 1497 by [[Tudor-18 |Henry VII]] - 138 years after this 1361 document was created, so the 'pounds, shillings and pence' (£ s d) notation was not yet in existence, and thus is not used here.'' ---- ==Resources== ===Village=== * '''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danby_Wiske Danby Wiske|Wikipedia]''' * '''[http://www.danbywiske.org.uk Village of Danby Wiske ]''' including 2010 Parish Plan * '''[http://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/yorks/north/vol1/pp172-176 "Parish History: Danby Wiske"|British History Online(BHO)]''' in A History of the County of York North Riding: Volume 1, ed.

The remaining 9.7% practiced other religions, did not belong to a church, or declined to answer. ===Cemeteries=== The area of land used for cemeteries in Switzerland has remained the same for many years. There is no extra ground to expand them thus forcing them to cycle through their various plots. Many cemeteries have headstones that only date back 25 years, but varies according to location. Seldom will you find a headstone dating back more than 40 years unless it is a headstone of a pastor or very prominent citizen in their town. Even in smaller, more rural communities the headstones are not older than about 30 years.''FamilySearch'' (https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/Switzerland_Cemeteries : 1 January 2023), "Switzerland Cemeteries". ===Resources=== *[https://www.query.sta.be.ch/archivplansuche.aspx?ID=233340 Canton of Bern Record Books] *[http://www.ordiecole.com/gen/html/bern_kirch_cd.html Index of Record books available for Canton of Bern] *[https://hls-dhs-dss.ch/famn/index.php Register of Swiss Surnames] *[https://hls-dhs-dss.ch/de/ Historical Dictionary of Switzerland] *[https://www.sta.be.ch/en/start.html State Archive of Bern] ==Sources==

"Main Street of Dawson, New Mexico" 1916 Legends of America Archives |size=l }} In 1870, Lucien Maxwell sold his interest in the Maxwell Land Grant. The property was then sold two more times and in 1872 it was owned by a Dutch group who tried to get rent from squatters living on the grant. But they had problems finding out who was a legal landowner and who was not. When they found out that the Dawson land was heavily laced with coal, they attempted to evict Dawson. He consented to settle the matter in court. The case was tried in the fall of 1893. The court held that the Land Grant Company could not prove Dawson did not own the land and the mineral rights. The courts also found Dawson had not bought only 1,000 acres instead he purchased 20,000 acres. John Dawson and Charles Springer ranched the land until 1901. He then sold all but 1,200 acres of the property to the Dawson Fuel Company for $400,000. He continued to ranch his remaining land. The Dawson Family Cemetery is NOT part of the Dawson Company Town cemetery and is located on private land. The Dawson Fuel Co. was founded by Charles Eddy of El Paso, Texas. A 137-mile-long railroad was built from the Dawson mine to Tucumcari, New Mexico to link with the Rock Island Line. By August 1, 1901, Dawson was well on the way to becoming the center of the largest coal mining operation in New Mexico. Tragedy struck the community on September 14, 1903, when a fire broke out in the No. 1 Mine, followed by several explosions. Luckily, 500 miners escaped. After a week the fire was controlled and three were dead. By 1905, 124 coke ovens were belching fire and the town was thriving with about 2,000 residents. The town had a post office, mercantile, school, newspaper, and a large hotel.} The Phelps Dodge Corporation bought the Dawson mines in 1906 started to build a company town. Spacious homes for all miners were built and each home was supplied with water from the company's water system. {{Image|file=Dawson_New_Mexico_One_Place_Study-4.jpg |caption=Miners Homes[[#POG|POG]]: "Dawson, New Mexico" 1900 Negative: 148140 }} {{Image|file=Dawson_New_Mexico_One_Place_Study-2.jpg |caption=Phelps Dodge Mercantile Company store[[#POG|POG]]: "Phelps Dodge Mercantile Company store, Dawson, New Mexico" 1920s Negative: 134375 |align=r }} A four-story brick building housed the Phelps Dodge Mercantile Department Store which sold food, clothing, shoes, hardware, furniture, drugs, jewelry, baked goods, and ice from its own plant. A modern hospital was built complete with a laboratory, surgery, and x-ray equipment. The town included a movie theater, swimming pool, bowling alley, baseball park, pool hall, golf course, lodge hall, and even an opera house. Phelps Dodge also supported two churches, one Catholic and one Protestant. Children attended either the Central Elementary School in downtown Dawson or the Douglas Elementary School on Capitan Hill. A large high school building was built that eventually employed 40 teachers and their athletic teams won many state championships. The company also built a steam-powered electric plant, which powered not only Dawson but also the nearby towns of [[Wikipedia:Walsenburg, Colorado|Walsenburg]] and [[Space:Raton, New Mexico One Place Study|Raton]]. Providing good-paying jobs for the residents, the extra features of the company town helped keep the employment stable and under the new management, Dawson's population grew quickly to 3,500. Dawson drew miners from [[Project:Italy|Italy]], China, Poland, [[Project:Germany|Germany]], Greece, [[Project:England|Britain]], [[Project:Finland|Finland]], [[Project:Sweden|Sweden]], and Mexico. The miners worked together to dig the coal that fueled an area equal to 1/6 of the US and Dawson grew into a company town of about 9,000. ==== Mining Disasters ==== Dawson had two coal mine disasters, one in 1913 and another in 1923. Phelps Dodge tried to make the mines as safe as possible. In 1913, [[Space:Stag_Canon_No._2_Mine_Disaster_1913|Stag Canyon Mine No. 2]] was considered by coal-mining experts as "the highest achievement in modern equipment and safety appliances that exists in the world." The New Mexico Inspector of Mines completed two days of inspection of the Dawson pits on October 20, 1913, and reported that Stag Canyon Mine No. 2 was totally "free from traces of gas, and in splendid general condition." Yet, two days after the mine inspection, Dawson suffered its worst catastrophe. On October 22, 1913, 284 miners reported to work at Stag Canyon Mine No. 2. Work went on as usual until a little after three p.m. when the mine was rocked by a huge explosion that sent a tongue of fire 100 feet out of the tunnel mouth shaking the homes in Dawson two miles away. Phelps Dodge sent a trainload of doctors, nurses, and medical supplies up from El Paso. Colorado miners who were striking stopped picketing and offered to form rescue teams. Working around the clock, rows of bodies were brought to the surface. The distraught wives and family members clogged and impeded the operations around the mouth of the mine. Only 23 of the 286 workers were found alive. Two of the rescuers were themselves killed by falling boulders in the shaft. Mass funerals were conducted for the victims and row upon row of graves dug, making it necessary to extend the [[Space:Dawson_Cemetery_Dawson_NM_USA|cemetery]] far up the hill. The cemetery was marked by white iron crosses and the burials continued for weeks. It was the second-worst mine disaster of the century. Investigators determined that the explosion had been caused by an overcharged blast in a dusty pillar section of the mine. The Bureau of Mines set that blasting was to be conducted only when all miners were evacuated and water sprays were to be used to settle the coal dust. These rules had been ignored. Safety measures were increased after the disastrous explosion and subsequent accidents had only a few fatalities. In 1918 the Dawson mines reached their peak production of over four million tons of coal. Tragedy hit Dawson again February 8, 1923, at about 2:20 PM, in [[Space:Stag_Canon_No._1_Mine_Disaster_1923|Stag Canyon Mine No. 1]]. A mine train jumped its track, hit the supporting timbers of the tunnel mouth, and ignited coal dust in the mine. There were 123 men in the mine at the time. Early the next morning two miners who had been in an isolated section of the mine walked out. Many women who lost husbands in the earlier disaster lost sons in this incident. {{Image|file=Dawson_New_Mexico_One_Place_Study-3.jpg |caption=Aerial view of Dawson 1932[[#POG|POG]]: "Aerial view of Dawson, New Mexico" 1932 Negative: 180528 }} Dawson continued to thrive for almost three decades, but gradually railroads began to convert to diesel-electric locomotives, and natural gas and heating oil replaced coal as the fuel to heat homes. There was a brief resurgence of mining during World War II, but on April 30, 1950, the mine and company town was shut down. === Present Day === Phelps Dodge sold the whole town, buildings and all, to a salvage company in Phoenix. The giant coal washer was shipped piece by piece to Kentucky and several houses were moved out and relocated. The company safe ended up in the Phelps Dodge headquarters in Bisbee, Arizona, where it is still displayed at the mining museum. Over the next dozens of years, ranchers operating Phelps Dodge's "Diamond D" ranch occupied the few dwellings remaining. {{Image|file=Dawson_New_Mexico_One_Place_Study-1.jpg |caption=Historic Marker - Dawson[[Robinson-27225|Robinson, Azure]]. "Historic Marker - Dawson" 2013 }} === Cemetery === The cemetery, a deeply moving site, is now the only part of Dawson still open to the visitor. Over 350 white iron crosses in the [[Space:Dawson_Cemetery_Dawson_NM_USA|Dawson Cemetery]] mark the graves of those who perished in the mining disasters. These silent sentinels, some with individual names and some unmarked, are poignant reminders of the tragic deaths of the victims, and, more importantly, their lives. {{Image|file=Dawson_Cemetery_Dawson_NM_USA-6.jpg |caption=NRHP Plaque[[Robinson-27225|Robinson, Azure]]. "NRHP Plaque" 2013 |align=r }}Dawson had been forgotten until two brothers went on metal detecting expedition in 1991. Dale and Lloyd Christian found the abandoned cemetery. Dale Christian returned to Albuquerque and petitioned the New Mexico State Historic Preservation Division to place the cemetery on the National Register of Historic Places.[https://npgallery.nps.gov/NRHP "National Register Information System"], database (https://npgallery.nps.gov/ : accessed 12 Nov 2021) National Register of Historic Places. National Park Service. The New Mexico Office of Cultural Affairs was unaware that the cemetery even existed and asked Christian to provide measurements of the site. Not only did he provide the measurements, but he also provided pictures and an accounting of the number of graves and pictures. The Office of Cultural Affairs placed the Dawson Cemetery on the National Register on April 9, 1992. The site is currently part of a working ranch and except for the cemetery, the townsite is on private property. === Population === ==== Notables ==== *William R Federici (1917-2009) [[Wikipedia:New_Mexico_Supreme_Court|New Mexico Supreme Court]] (1977-1986), [[Wikipedia:New_Mexico_Supreme_Court#Chief_Justice|Chief Justice]] (1985-1986)Bullis, Don.

The Keep was built around 1350 by Sir Robert Boyd's son Sir Thomas Boyd (1323-1367) 2nd of Kilmarnock. The Palace was built aone hundred years later by Sir Robert Boyd (1420-1482) 1st Lord Boyd of Kilmarnock. The Castle possesses strong historical connections with many people and events famous in Scottish history. Robert the Bruce gifted the land; King James III of Scotland whose sister married a Boyd; the Covenanters, some of whom were imprisoned here; Bonnie Prince Charlie, whose Jacobite rebellion was joined by William Boyd; and Robert Burns who was encouraged to publish his poetry by the James Cunningham, the 14th Earl of Glencairn (1749-1791) who owned the Castle at the time. === Families of the Castle === Wikipedia; https://www.wikipedia.org/Wikitree; https://www.wikitree.comThe Castles of Scotland; https://www.thecastlesofscotland.co.ukLove, Dane - Ayrshire, Discovering A County, Fort Publishing 2003 The land where the current castle sits was once the seat of the Lockhart family, then the Soulis family. Then held by the Balliols, but the lands were given to the Boyd's by Robert the Bruce after the Balliols forfeited. The Boyd's held the estate for 4 centuries until a major fire in the early 1700's started many centuries of decline for the castle itself. After the death of William Boyd (1705-1746) 4th Earl of Kilmarnock, the peerage title was confiscated and the estate was sold between 1748 and 1751 by his son James Boyd who was upset because he did not receive his title of 5th Earl. The estate and castle went through numerous owners going forward including James Cunningham, the 14th Earl of Glencairn (1749-1791), the Scott's of Balcomie (likely wealthy Major General John Scott (1725–1775), and the 4th Duke of Portland (1768-1854), and his son, the 5th Duke of Portland (1800-1879). Lady Lucy Joan Scott Bentinck (1807-1899) (daughter of the 4th Duke of Portland) and her sister Charlotte (Lady Ossington) co-inherited the estates of (her brother) the 5th Duke of Portland upon his death in 1879 (who had no legitimate children). Sister Charlotte died in 1889 and widower sister Lady Lucy Joan retained the estate. Lady Lucy and the 6th Baron's son, Frederick George Ellis, 7th Baron Howard de Walden (1830-1899) who would have inherited the estate both died in 1899, and Thomas Evelyn Scott-Ellis, 8th Lord Howard de Walden (1880-1946) then inherited the estate and restored the castle. Upon the death of the 8th Lord in 1946, John Osmael Scott-Ellis, 9th Lord Howard de Walden (1912-1999) inherited the estate who gifted 13 acres of the estate to the citizens of Kilmarnock in 1974. He further gifted the castle to the citizens as well in 1975. The Kilmarnock Council bought the remaining 187 acres of the estate in 1977 from the 9th Lord as well. === Boyd Peerage === Wikipedia; https://www.wikipedia.org/Wikitree; https://www.wikitree.com The following is a reference list of the Boyd family members and their relative peerage throughout the centuries: '''''Ancestors''''' '''Hato de Dol''' formerly Dol (abt.0990-1060) '''Flaald "Fledaldus" de Dol''' formerly Dol (abt.1011-abt.1076) '''Sir Alan FitzFlaald''' (aka fitz Flathald) (1055-1121) '''Walter FitzAlan''' Ist High Steward of Scotland (1105-1177) '''Simon FitzWalter''' (abt.1130-XXXX) '''Robert "Robertus Dominus" (Boyt) Boyd''' (aka Boyt) (abt.1185- bef.1240) '''Sir Robert (de Boyt) Boyd''' "The Hero of Goldberry Hill" (abt.1230-abt.1290) '''Sir Robert (de Boyt) Boyd''', 1st of Kilmarnock (bef.1280-1333) '''Sir Thomas Boyd''', 2nd of Kilmarnock (1323-1367) '''Sir Thomas Boyd''', 3rd of Kilmarnock (1360-1410) '''Sir Thomas Boyd''', 4th of Kilmarnock (1385-1432) '''Sir Thomas Boyd''', 5th of Kilmarnock (1405-1439) '''''Lord Boyd of Kilmarnock''' - Title created in 1454 for Sir Robert Boyd , 1st Lord Boyd of Kilmarnock (1420-1482)'' '''Sir Robert Boyd''', 1st Lord Boyd of Kilmarnock (1420-1482) '''Sir James Boyd''', 2nd Lord Boyd of Kilmarnock (c.1469-1484) '''Sir Alexander Boyd''', 3rd Lord Boyd of Kilmarnock (1452-1508) '''Sir Robert Boyd''', 4th Lord Boyd of Kilmarnock (1485-1558) '''Sir Robert Boyd''', 5th Lord Boyd of Kilmarnock (1517-1590) '''Sir Thomas Boyd''', 6th Lord Boyd of Kilmarnock (1547-1611) '''Sir Robert Boyd''', 7th Lord Boyd of Kilmarnock (1595-1628) '''Sir Robert Boyd''', 8th Lord Boyd of Kilmarnock (1618-1640) '''James Boyd''', 9th Lord Boyd 0f Kilmarnock (1597-1654) '''Sir William Boyd,''' 10th Lord Boyd of Kilmarnock (1646-1692) '''''Earl of Kilmarnock''' - Title created in 1661 for William Boyd previously the 10th Lord Boyd of Kilmarnock (1646-1692)'' '''William Boyd''', 1st Earl of Kilmarnock (bef.1646-1692) '''William Boyd''', 2nd Earl of Kilmarnock (1664-1692) '''William Boyd''', 3rd Earl of Kilmarnock (1683-1717) '''William Boyd''', 4th Earl of Kilmarnock (1705-1746) ''Earl of Kilmarnock title forfeit in 1746 with the execution death of the 4th Earl.'' === Howard de Walden Peerage === Wikipedia; https://www.wikipedia.org/Love, Dane - Ayrshire, Discovering A County, Fort Publishing 2003 Baron Howard de Walden is a title in the Peerage of England.

...It was reported that the recommendation of the committee that No. 1 State Sawmill, near Manjimup, should be named Deanmill, had been adopted by the Lands Department. The name was given in honour of Mr. Alfred Dean, who was the first manager of the mill and who served the sawmills at that and in connection with other mills from 1914 to 1931, when he retired. He is now residing at Cottesloe.

      '''Dedham''' in Hancock County, adjoins Ellsworth on the N.N.W., and is on the stage-route from that city to Bangor. The "Lake House," in Colony Village, is 15 miles from Ellsworth and 11 miles from Bangor. The town is an aggregation of abrupt metamorphic granite hills. There are ten considerable peaks, of which Bald Mountain is the highest. Between these peaks are about as many ponds ; also some excellent farms and orchards. Potash is a large ingredient of the soil, which needs a deal of stirring to render it available for plant food. Potatoes, oats and corn are the principal crops. Fitz's Pond, having an area of three square miles, is well stocked with black bass. Hat-Case Pond is notable for a fine display of bowlders near it. On the outlets of the ponds are some fine water-powers. The manufactures consist of one grist-mill, a carding-mill, saw-mill, shingle-mill, and a large tannery. Dedham, named for a Massachusetts town, was originally a part of Township Number 8, and was incorporated under its present name in 1837. The Colony settlement was for years known as New Boston, and the inhabitants were accused of "putting on airs." The Congregationalists have a church-edifice, and sustain worship. Dedham has five schoolhouses, and the school property is valued at $1,000. The town valuation in 1870 was $102,752. In 1880 it was $98,308. The rate of taxation in the latter year, 21 mills on the dollar. The population in 1870, was 448. In the census of 1880 it was 406. == Sources == * Varney, George J. 1886.

" page 288 History of Deer Isle_Hosmer " ''' William Swain ''' was the first settler upon the lot of land adjoining that of Captain Gray on the southeast, on the southwest side of the island. He was a native of Scotland, and came with the British army to Bagaduce in 1779. He was a master-mariner, and in former years a man of enterprise. ..." page 183 History of Deer Isle_Hosmer Varney's '''''Gazetteer of the state of Maine''''' has the following:
      '''Deer Isle''' in Hancock County, is a group of three islands lying between the northern part of Isle au Haute Bay and Brooklin and Sedgewick on the mainland. It is 35 miles south-south-west of Ellsworth. The town includes Little Deer Isle, Great Deer Isle, and Eagle Isle. The first mentioned and most northerly of the group has an area 6f 1,000 acres, which is well suited to agriculture. Great Deer Isle is about 10 miles in length, from north to south, and near 5 miles in width. The surface in the northern part is rather level, while in the south it is rough. Micaceous limestone was undoubtedly the parent rock of Deer Isle, but it has been crystalized, and is thus rendered unfit for quicklime, though suitable for architectural sculpture. At the "Reach "is a quarry which is operated for this marble, affording a yearly product of 4,000 tons of rough and cut stone ; while roofing slate of a good quality has been found on Little Deer Isle. At this place, it is stated, are found conclusive evidences of an extinct volcano, which in some of the by-gone years, belched forth its showers of ashes, and poured out its molten lava. As will be apparent, the transition series of rocks is well characterized in these islands. Large deposits of silver, also, have recently been found, and two companies now hold property on the island for the purpose of mining this mineral. The soil is loamy, and the largest crop is potatoes. The forest trees are principally spruce and fir. Along the roadsides in the most thickly settled parts of the town, are many shade trees from five to forty years old, of various kinds, but mostly chestnut. Adam's Hill, is the principal eminence, reaching a height of 256 feet above the sea. Torry's and Marshall's are the only considerable ponds, one being a mile long, the other two miles. Smith's mineral spring has a local celebrity. The manufactures consist of sails, wrought granite; while at Oceanville and at Green's Landing, are establishments for the packing of the various kinds of fish. Deer Isle was incorporated in 1789, being the fourth town in the county. The first known visit of Europeans was that of Weymouth in 1605. It early received its name from the abundance of deer in its forests. The first settlement was commenced by William Eaton near what is now known as the " Scott Farm," in 1762. The first church was built in 1773, and the first preacher was Rev. Mr. Noble; the first pastor was Rev. Peter Powers. In 1809. Rev. Joseph Brown, a dissenter, 'was installed. The first white child was Timothy Billings, born May, 1764. The privations of the settlers during the war of the Revolution were terrible. The number of Deer Islanders in the service of the Union during the war of the Rebellion was, soldiers and sailors, 386, and of these 55 were lost. The amount of bounty paid by the town was $59,128. The climate is quite salubrious, as is apparent from the number of old people, there being 10 between eighty and one hundred years of age. As a summer resort, it is highly esteemed by its visitors, having good hotels, ample boating and fishing facilities, as well as drives. The roads are good, and the buildings are generally in good repair, and a look of thrift prevails. There is a nice town-hall, three stories in height. There are in town two Congregational church-edifices, two Methodist and two Baptist. Deer Isle has three high-schools, and its public schoolhouses number twenty. The school property is valued at $8,810. The valuation of estates in 1870 was $417,211. In 1880 it was 1373,182. The rate of taxation in 1880 was two per cent. The population in 1790 was 682; in 1870, 3,414; in 1880, 3,267. ==Additional Resources== ::'''Web Sites''': * Historical Society * Maine Genealogy Net * Family Search * WikiPedia {{Wikidata|Q142486|enwiki}} * Maine Encyclopedia *[https://maineanencyclopedia.com/deer-isle/ '''Haulover: "At Northwest Harbor''', the Island of Deer Isle is almost split in two.

It encompasses one street in the Columbia Street Waterfront District in Brooklyn, New York. This street was a haven for new immigrants from Sicily who were able to find work on the docks. It differs greatly from the more "up-scale" neighborhoods that are found south and east of I-278, the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway (BQE). The purpose is to track families that lived here and what happened to them. Most of the profiles will be of Italian immigrants who worked as day laborers and longshoremen. They lived in multi-family tenements and often inter-married. {{Image|file=Degraw_Street_Brooklyn_New_York_One_Place_Study.jpg |align=c |size=m |caption=The Degraw Street Project area of interest is highlighted in red. }} === Name === Apparently Degraw Street was named for an early landowner, James Degraw. There is not much known about the man, but on 16 April 1764 he did offer some land for sale, : "James Degraw, Brooklyn, offers for sale his farm opposite the church, and joining Mr. Harvey's, a mile from the ferry. It is convenient for the New York market, having ten acres of land and forty fruit-trees." - Stiles, Henry Reed, ''A History of the City of Brooklyn,'' 1867. === Geography === :'''Continent:''' North America :'''Country:''' United States :'''State/Province:''' New York :'''County:''' Kings :'''GPS Coordinates:''' 40.68615953375129, -74.00375604417357 :'''Elevation:''' 3.0 m or 9.8 feet === History === === Population === ==== New York Census, 1925 ==== {| class="wikitable sortable" style="text-align: center;" border="2" bgcolor="#FF E4 E1" |- ! width="50"|House Number ! width="200"|Name !

* South Brooklyn Boys (SBB) are a famous New York City street gang which formed around the 1950s of mostly ethnic Italian youth. South Brooklyn consists of present-day Carroll Gardens, Cobble Hill, Park Slope, Red Hook, Gowanus, and Boerum Hill; all are sections of Brooklyn. ** At it's inception, SBB was made up of smaller neighborhood gangs including: *** South Brooklyn Devils (Union St. and 4th Av.) *** Garfield Boys (Garfield Pl. and 5th Av.) *** South Brooklyn Angels *** South Brooklyn Diapers (5th Av. and Carroll St.) *** Wanderers (featured in a film of the same name) *** Degraw Street Boys (Degraw St.) *** Sackett Street Boys (Sackett St.) *** Butler Gents (Butler St. and Douglass St. between 3rd Av. and 7th Av., Park Slope) *** Gowanus Boys *** Kane Street Midgets *** The Little Gents (5th Av. between Union St. and President St.) *** Young Savages ** Since the 1980s, the gang is said to have concentrated around Bensonhurst, Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights, Sheepshead Bay, and Gravesend. * Untouchable Bishops (Latino). * The Mau Mau Chaplains (Black) '''Butler Gents.'''
They wore wore black, button-down, v-neck sweaters with white piping and a white, intertwined "BG" logo on the breast. They hung out at Joes Luncheonette on 5th Av. and Sterling Pl. '''Sources.''' * [http://www.stonegreasers.com/greaser/sbb.html Stone Grease] [Wayback Machine] ==Sources==

=== What is this page about? === {{One Place Study|place=Dhronecken, Germany|category= Dhronecken, Rhineland-Palatinate One Place Study}} This is a collection of inhabitants, pictures, literature, anecdotes and genealogical resources for the small village of Dhronecken. Other village name variants throughout history were for example Troneck, Throneck, Thronecken. Also enclosed are the inhabitants of Rothmühle and Boussermühle, two mills on the outskirts of the village. Technically they belong to the neighbouring village of Malborn. But the people who live(d) in these mills are and have always been part of the Dhronecken community, and for this reason they are included. The page is still under construction, and will be that for a while. If you would like to contribute or if you have ancestors from this village, feel free to contact me. === Where is Dhronecken? === Dhronecken is part of the Landkreis (district) Bernkastel-Wittlich, which is part of the German Bundesland (county) Rhineland-Palatinate. Dhronecken is located in the Hunsrück area and is about 10 km away from its highest peak, the Erbeskopf. It's also not far from the Moselle river, Trier and Idar-Oberstein, as well as the Saarland region. The village is part of Verbandsgemeinde (municipality) Thalfang, also called "Mark Thalfang". === Denominations and Churches === Dhronecken was a protestant village from 1564 onwards, when the reformation was introduced here by the Wild- and Rheingrafen (the local gentry). Still there were some Catholics and Jewish people living here, too. The nearest '''protestant''' church was and is located in Thalfang, about three kilometres from Dhronecken. Protestant Dhronecken citizen would have been baptised, married and buried in Thalfang. Art-historically it is an important building - one of the oldest churches in the area, partly rebuilt in 1300, 1450 and around 1600. The pulpit was donated by Dhronecken bailiff [[Heusner-16 | Friedrich Christian Heusner]]. Thalfang also had a '''synagogue''' which was built in 1822 and partly destroyed in 1938. The remains of a Jewish cemetery are still visible. First Jewish people in Thalfang were documented in 1660. [see source 10]. There also were Jewish families in Dhronecken. The castle in Dhronecken had its own chapel, though, where services were held on certain days. In the 18. century these services were limited to every three weeks in winter and every two weeks in summer. This chapel doesn't exist anymore; it was torn down and replaced by a bell tower in the middle of the 19. century. The nearest '''catholic''' churches are in Malborn (which is just up the hill, within the range of vision from Dhronecken) and Thalfang. The protestant church in Thalfang was used for catholic services from 1690 until 1911, when the new catholic church was introduced. Many catholics also went to Geisfeld church for marriages and baptisms. [see source 1, page 217ff.] The '''registration office''' responsible for Dhronecken is Standesamt Thalfang. Records have been kept from 1798 onwards when the area was under French government. They are now archived. Luckily both church records as well as registration office records have been indexed in "Familienbüchern" - family books (see section on sources) listing all the people mentioned in the records and grouping them into families - which considerably simplifies research. === History of Dhronecken === Dhronecken started with the castle which was probably built during the 10th or 11th century, as archaeologists have found remains of walls from that time. There are celtic remains in the area, and a Roman road used to run right through the village. Not later than 1223 the castle must have come into the ownership of the Wild- and Rheingrafen. In 1297 Dhronecken was first explicitly named as "Throneck" in a document - a knight called Conrad of Dhronecken is mentioned in it. 1309 sees the first mentioning of the castle. Wildgraf Friedrich, the local count, entrusted his uncle, a noble Templar also called Friedrich, with one half of it. Friedrich probably used it as his retirement home. In 1341 Archbishop Balduin of Trier took the castle as his fiefdom. The Wild- and Rheingrafen weren't too happy about this, some quarrels followed. The counts usually owned many small castles and villages in one area, travelling from one to the other took a long time. As they were not able to visit them all, the counts usually gave them to lower nobility as fiefdoms. For most of the time it's unclear whose fiefdom Dhronecken was. Next to the Archbishop of Trier, only three noblemen are mentioned in the old documents: * Berchram von Budenburg in 1373 * Simond von Rüdesheim in 1427 * Claus von Kellenbach in 1495. Wildgraf Otto (+1409) is said to have resided on Dhronecken castle, also Graf Gerhard (+1490) who seems to have extended its animal husbandry during his residence. A village at this place, either originating in the outer bailey (today called Hostert) or located further down the river, was first mentioned in 1220, and again in 1476. In 1427 a document deals with a fief of a "Haus in der Vorburg" (a house on the outer bailey) so we can safely assume that by then the Hostert was already settled upon. For more than three decades Graf Jacob the Blind used the castle as his main residence. An inventory of his mobile possessions was made in 1532; probably because both the castle and village were Gräfin Anna von Isenburg's "wittum" (hers to use in case of her husband's death so she would have some place to live and to feed her). Anna must have taken possession of it shortly before or after Jacob's death in 1532 or 1533, and she probably lived here for most of the rest of her life which ended in 1557. After Anna the castle was lived in by Graf Otto who introduced the reformation to the area in 1564. In 1637, during the 30-year-war, the castle in Dhronecken was first destroyed. And more wars and destructions were to come around 1680, 1690 and 1700. The end of the 17. century saw rebuilding activities on the castle; the archway on the way up to the castle probably stems from this time - only for the castle to be destroyed again in 1714 by French troops. Another rebuilding created the castle as seen today, with the main building in the Baroque style, a former barn with living quarters for servants, now converted to a community hall, the small tower which now serves as a lookout point, a stable building and the remains of the big tower and guardroom. In 1794 the French Revolution ended serfdom, but it also meant Dhronecken became part of the municipality of Thalfang and lost its importance. Since 1815 it was part of the Preußen kingdom. From 1803 onwards most of the possessions of the local aristocracy were auctioned off, and much of it was bought by the bailiff family Heusner. Most inhabitants were poverty-stricken and either emigrated or started to work in the industrial plants in the Saarland or Ruhrgebiet. Since 1817 the castle is the seat of the local forestry commission. In 1903 a railway line was built through Dhronecken. In WW II, Dhronecken was part of the supply line for the Westwall. V2 missiles were fired from a forest nearby. While the Allies bombed Dhronecken, more damage was done by German soldiers who blew up all bridges in the village. [see source 1] Sometimes '''Brabach''' is mentioned in old documents (also Probach, Bropach). This was a small hamlet very near to Dhronecken which does not exist anymore or is now part of the village Dhronecken. Brabach was mentioned in 1570 and 1578, still lived in after the 30-year war and also during 1777-1788. Possibly it was where now the lower part of Dhronecken, called "Unterdorf", is located. One inhabitant of Brabach was [[Hildenbrand-146|Johann Daniel Hildenbrand]], and there was a house of the Hildebrand family in this part of Dhronecken, though later. As it was torn down, it's hard to decide if it could already have been there when Johann Daniel was alive. [[Image:Dhronecken_Rhineland-Palatinate_-_One_Place_Study-2.jpg|200px]] '''''The Hildebrand house, unfortunately replaced by a modern house in 1973/1974''''' === Historic Houses in Dhronecken === '''Burg Dhronecken''' The oldest wall remains on castle Dhronecken are from the 10. and 11. century. In 1309 the castle is first mentioned. It was destroyed at least twice but always rebuilt. (see above) {{Image|file=Dhronecken_Rhineland-Palatinate_-_One_Place_Study.jpg |size=l |caption=Dhronecken Castle }} These days the castle is used as headquarters of the local forestry commission, and also for village festivities. {{Image|file=Dhronecken_Rhineland-Palatinate_-_One_Place_Study-6.jpg |size=l |caption=Dhronecken Castle - the remaining guard tower }} {{Image|file=Dhronecken_Rhineland-Palatinate_-_One_Place_Study-19.jpg |size=l |caption=Dhronecken Castle - stables and village hall }} {{Image|file=Dhronecken_Rhineland-Palatinate_-_One_Place_Study-20.jpg |size=l |caption=Dhronecken Castle - tunnel underneath main building }} '''Hostert''' "Auf der Hostert" is a term referring to "Hofstatt" - a farmstead. It used to belong to the castle of Dhronecken as an outer bailey, and is in fact located right at the foot of the castle. The Hostert is first mentioned explicitly in 1638 as the location of the bailiff's house and a chapel belonging to Thalfang church. A document from 1427 also talks about a house on the outer bailey which had been the fief of Johann Freioff von Numagen, also Hansmann Klebesaddel von Wilspiliche as well as Symond and Johann Bock from Veldenz and their ancestors. There is a map from 1770 which shows the castle and the Hostert surrounded by the castle wall. {{Image|file=Dhronecken_Rhineland-Palatinate_-_One_Place_Study-1.jpg |size=l |caption=Bell tower and front houses on the Hostert }} Here the castle's farm was to be found, together with administration buildings. In the course of time, the Hostert in Dhronecken accommodated the hunter's house, a chapel, a baking house, a guardroom also used as a prison if necessary, the bailiff's office and a flower garden, probably also some storage rooms and maybe stables and a barn. Today it consists of four residential houses and three gardens. '''"Treine"''' The two lower ones are called "Treine" after former residents - today the Freudenreich-Fuchs family lives here. Their carport is located where once the bailiff's office stood. The prison was in one of today's houses, probably in the cellar. The houses probably came into the Fuchs family when [[Trein-23|Louisa Trein]] married Philipp Fuchs. '''"Neis"''' The upper two houses are lived in by descendants of [[Neu-277 | Michel Neu]] who came to Dhronecken from Pilmeroth sometime before 1860. {{Image|file=Dhronecken_Rhineland-Palatinate_-_One_Place_Study-13.jpg |size=l |caption=The Neu family in front of their houses on the Hostert in Dhronecken }} Originally one of the houses was a barn - it was converted sometime in the Forties or Fifties, and [[Neu-286 | Hermann Neu]] moved in with his wife. Hermann also had a shoemaker's workshop here. After his and his wife's deaths a son of Julius Neu bought and modernized the house. The other house must have been the hunter's house. It was used by [[Neu-274 | Julius Neu]] with his wife [[Marx-1241 | Martha]], and also by [[Neu-287 | Emma Neu]] and her son Gerhard (called Migo). The living situation must have been cramped: Emma lived upstairs with Migo - they must have shared one bedroom, or that bedroom was divided into two smaller rooms already. They also had a kitchen. Julius and Martha lived in two rooms downstairs - they slept in their kitchen while their five children shared the other room. When Emma and Migo moved to Thalfang, Julius and Martha took over the whole house and built an additional room into the attic. {{Image|file=Dhronecken_Rhineland-Palatinate_-_One_Place_Study-3.jpg |size=l |caption=Martha Neu and a friend in front of the hunter's house, having a chat }} Still living here was no luxury: in order to reach the bathroom Julius built into the cellar, they had to cross the barn and walk down a narrow wooden staircase, at least in winter in freezing temperatures. There was no bath or toilet in the part of the house they slept in, and the bedrooms were not or only rudimentarily heated until the house was modernized in 2015/2016 by Julius' and Martha's granddaughter. The chapel had been torn down, and around 1850 a bell tower was built here. The bell is still rung - every Saturday evening at 6 pm, on New Year's Day, and whenever a citizen of Dhronecken passes away. [see source 1] '''Haags''' The housename "Haags" refers to the last owners, Waldi and Resi Haag. From the 18. century onwards the house had been used as an inn, and Waldi and Resi kept that tradition and ran a successful business here, much missed even today by Dhronecken citizens. {{Image|file=Dhronecken_Rhineland-Palatinate_-_One_Place_Study-10.jpg |size=l |caption="Haags" seen from the Hostert side }} Originally the house had been built by bailiff [[Heusner-16 | Friedrich Christian Heusner]] as a residential home for himself and his family, sometime between 1700 and 1720. By then he had seven children, five more followed. Heusner's origins lay in Franken, and he built a house in the tradition of his home area. It is a huge house in the baroque style, with an impressive garden loggia and an oak-pillared hall in the basement. {{Image|file=Dhronecken_Rhineland-Palatinate_-_One_Place_Study-14.jpg |size=l |caption="Haags" seen from the back, with view of the loggia - the left part of the building is modern, as the old annex had to be pulled down and was rebuilt }} Many people still think it also was the location of the bailiff's office - maybe due to its impressive looks; the official bailiff's house, however, was on the Hostert. "Haags" was private property and stayed in the family until 1975. Heusner also ran a bark and oil mill here which was destroyed when in 1945 the bridge right next to it was blown up. [see source 1] The house could then have come into the Haags family through [[Haag-791|Julius Haag]] who must have inherited it from his mother, [[Heusner-43|Juliana Heusner]]. In modern times the house, although already listed by the time, was sadly neglected. Several owners tried to restore it to its former glory, but the house swallowed a lot of funds, and they gave up. In the end it was bought by an university lecturer who brought it back to life. '''Café Hildebrand''' This not-so-historic but comparatively striking house was built in 1934/1935 by Jakob and Luise Konrad. This big white house at the crossways in the middle of the village was the first house in Dhronecken which did not have buildings for farming etc. (barns or stables). Instead it had central heating and a bathroom - luxuries unheard of in those times, complete with a swimming pool in the garden! A small shop which had been opened in the Haags house moved here. [see source 1] {{Image|file=Dhronecken_Rhineland-Palatinate_-_One_Place_Study-9.jpg |size=l |caption=The former shop, post office, B&B and café Hildebrand }} Later the house was the residence of Waldi and Resi Haag's daughter Ruth who had married Hugo Hildebrand, and they continued to manage the shop which now incorporated a post office; later they used it as a café and hotel. Today it is a holiday home. '''Schreinersch''' "Schreinersch" is a pretty little farmhouse in the center of Dhronecken, at the crossways of Weyer Damm and Zur kleinen Dhron. Its name can probably be explained by the profession of its former owner. It might have belonged to Carl Hildebrand, who is mentioned in 1797 as a joiner ("Schreiner" in German). Damp pastures right next to the house, due to the vicinity of Röderbach (a small creek), did not allow for a cellar, instead there is a barn and a small shed for storage of farming produce. Around 1866 the house was upgraded, probably the first floor was added to it. The date is engraved in the door lintel. There used to be an oven for baking in the back of the house which could be filled from the kitchen area, and a service hatch to the living room still exists. It used to belong to Carl and Ida Hildebrand later and was renovated by their heirs Ruth and Hugo Hildebrand in the 1980s. Until recently it was used as a holiday home but has just been sold to new owners. [see source 6, Heft 58 Dez. 2001] '''Lochers''' Striking due to its red half-timbered construction, this house really stands out from the other farmhouses in Dhronecken. It does not have the customary slate roof but a red one, and it has a beautifully decorated oak balcony. Two barns in the back suggest farming activity in the past. An intermediate floor did not only serve as storage for potatoes but was also used to hide a person from the Nazi regime. It was the home of the Fetzer family. [[Neu-285 | Elisabeth (Neu) Fetzer]] moved here with her three children after her husband fell in WWII. Four more hungry mouths, though, were not too welcome, and Elisabeth moved to Thalfang. The house was later lived in by the Kimmling family. Currently it is being restored by its new owner. '''Hellebrands''' Hellebrands was a house named after its owners, the Hildebrand family. It was later used by the Marx family and then torn down to make way for a modern house. It had a slate corridor and a storage for baked bread. {{Image|file=Dhronecken_Rhineland-Palatinate_-_One_Place_Study-2.jpg |size=l |caption=The Marx-Weinig family in front of their house in the lower part of Dhronecken }} '''Schütze / Strouvelle (Struwwel)''' Schütze was named after his inhabitant, [[Hildebrand-1580|Friedrich Hildebrand]], who had the nickname "Schütze Fritz". His nickname stemmed from his occupation as "Schütze" (gunman). The house is directly next to the spot where the two creeks Röderbach and Thalfanger Bach merge and form the "Kleine Dhron" river. Schetze Fritz was a true original and is mentioned in the Dhronecken chronicle by Carla Regge. He was cared for by the Strouvelle family who took over the house and opened an inn here ("Gasthaus zum müden Wanderer"). Later it also became an old people's home and is nowadays the residence of the Becker family. '''Hirtenhaus / Peese''' Supposedly this house, used for the accommodation of the local shepherd, is the oldest in Dhronecken, except for the castle buildings. On the 1770 map of Dhronecken it was the only house on the path to the neighbouring village Burtscheid. In 1861 it couldn't be used as a residence anymore due to its derelict state, and thus shepherd Conrad Dahm had to look for another job. As the village needed a shepherd, a repair was performed by nailer Carl Manz (probably [[Manz-221]]). Obviously he was successful, as in 1868 the house is mentioned as being in a good condition, the roof tiled with slate. It had one room, a kitchen, a little chamber (maybe a bedroom) and stables as well as some room for storage. Around 1905 the village community gave up sheep farming, and the house was let. In 1910 it was let to Katharina Jakob (born Nix) who had come from a mill in Heimbach/Nahe with her five children. She was accompanied by mill hand Jakob Pees who gave the house its current housename although he wasn't allowed to live there with Katharina - the community thought this would be immoral. Around 1925 the rental contract was taken over by Johann Klein who was married to a daughter of Katharina, and in 1950 they were able to buy the house. The Klein family still lives here. [see source 1] '''Eckepatts''' The name Eckepatts refers to a godfather ("Patt" in Dhronecken dialect) who lived in one corner of Dhronecken, directly at the village exit to Thalfang and Lückenburg. "Corner" in German is "Ecke", so Eckepatt was the godfather who lived in a corner of Dhronecken. There are two houses here. One was owned by the Conrad family (Erich Conrad and his wife [[Neu-289 | Martha Neu]]), the other one by an old lady called "Elsmutter", Elsa Mark, who was a descendant of the Fuchs family and is still fondly remembered by the village community. Her voice can be heard on a CD made in 1996 by a local TV station. '''Deckerschmill''' This old mill consists of several parts from different building periods, with the oldest being the part with the mill machinery. It was used as a saw mill but also housed a wool spinning mill around 1850. This might be the saw mill a contract from the year 1690 deals with; the contract is about the reconstruction and reactivation of the manorial saw mill which seems to have suffered from neglect during wars and sieges. Miller [[Kirst-64 | Nikolaus Kirst]] is willing to take over the task of reactivation. This could be the same Nikolaus Kirst who is also mentioned as gunman and later as forester in Dhronecken. Until the middle of the 19. century the mill thus was called "Kirstenmühle". The saw mill kept going until modern times; one of the men working there was [[Neu-274 | Julius Neu]]. In the 50s the house was leased to a miller called Reich who died around 1960. The family then took over the house as the Decker family's holiday home. {{Image|file=Dhronecken_Rhineland-Palatinate_-_One_Place_Study-8.jpg |size=l |caption=Deckersmühle with mill wheel }} The mill wheel can still be seen from the outside. It was made in 1900, by a clockmaker from Papiermühle. '''Neimillersch''' This "new mill" (Neumühle) was built in 1820 but on the site of an older bark mill. It is the home of two branches of the Krämer family; also some areas of the former barn and stables are let as flats. '''Rothmühle''' Technically Rothmühle does not belong to Dhronecken but to the neighbouring village of Malborn. But as the Rothmühle people take an active part in the Dhronecken village community, they should be added here. This mill was the home of the Echternach family, with [[Echternach-27|Johannes Echternach]] as yet being the oldest known miller there. He probably came from a miller family from the Moselle area. The mill then went to the Paulus family who had married into the Echternach family. It is still lived in by this family and the site of an organic farm although the mill machinery isn't used anymore. '''Kehreinsche Mühle''' This mill does not exist anymore; the site now is the location of Dhronecken's voluntary fire brigade. It was probably the most important mill in Dhronecken and should thus be mentioned. This mill was a "Bannmühle" which means that people were duty-bound to have their grain milled here, at least if they were from most of the neighbouring villages. It is first mentioned in 1505. Quite a number of millers are listed as working here during the decades, among them [[Morlang-50 | Nikolaus Morlang]] and later his widow [[Rauh-196 | Johanna Catharina Rauh]]. There also was a miller called Kehrein who gave it its name. '''Kunstscheune''' This house, built into the slate hills on a narrow strip of land on Hirtenweg, was lived in by a single lady called Minna. Minna had no bathroom or toilet in the house, she had to cross the street to use a wooden outhouse. After Minna's death it was bought by a lady who lived here with her son Rene, a potter. Rene modernized the old barn and turned it into a potter's workshop. The lady passed away, and Rene moved away, and the house has been empty for more than a decade now. Showing many signs of neglect, it desperately needs some loving care (and a certain budget) to save it from being pulled down. {{Image|file=Dhronecken_Rhineland-Palatinate_-_One_Place_Study-11.jpg |size=l |caption=Minna's house, later a potter's workshop }} === The People of Dhronecken === For a list of people who lived in or were connected to Dhronecken and have profiles in Wikitree, see the [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Dhronecken%2C_Rhineland-Palatinate_One_Place_Study Category Dhronecken One Place Study] (under construction). '''Numbers''' Numbers of inhabitants are not given in the Dhronecken chronicle and offical documents - but there were two "Feuerstätten" (fireplaces - one could also call them households) in 1505. Until 1618 the settlement had grown to nine fireplaces, only to shrink again until 1638 (only one fireplace) - probably due to sieges during the 30-year-war and the destruction of the castle. Another factor was the plague - it reigned in the area in 1597, in 1607 and around 1612, as well as during the 30-year war. In 1650 there were two households again, in 1779 there were nine, and in 1788 there were twelve households in Dhronecken. There were probably more people living here than these numbers suggest, as only those households were counted which had to pay their due to the counts. There must have been day labourers and privileged castle servants who were not obliged to pay. In 1527, for example, there were 17 servants here, including the bailiff (a Caspar von Francken), the custodian of all farm produce ("Keller" Wolff Thies of Imeraidt) and the chaplain (Johann Schroeder), and some probably lived here with their family members which were not mentioned. [see source 1] In 1819 there were 130 people living in the village, in 1833 there were 238 inhabitants. These were probably too many people to be fed now - around 1835 the number of people started to shrink as many emigrated to other countries. Emil Fröhlich mentions the following inhabitants for Dhronecken in his "Geschichte der Mark Thalfang" [see source 9]: 1650 * Kirst * Höfner * Seitz, Gg. (Forstmeister = forester) * Cauer, Dietrich (Amtmann = bailiff) * Schmidt * Kiefer, Claus * Höfner, Briktius (in Brabach) 1779 * [[Kirst-81|Kirst, Magnus]] * Kirst, Carl * Juncker, Johann Wilhelm * Pauli, Peter * [[Loch-234|Loch, Ludwig]] * Scherer, Gg. (probably [[Scherer-1142]]) * Jakob Arrenz Gg. Pet. * Mantz, Michel (maybe [[Manz-158]]?) * Mantz, Johann Philipp * Mantz, Magnus * [[Hildenbrand-145 |Hildebrand, Leopold]] * [[Heusner-7 | Heusner, Friedrich Karl]] * Bauer, Philipp Today roughly 120 citizens are living in Dhronecken. '''Bailiffs in Dhronecken''' as mentioned in old documents * Junker Jost - 1498 * Peter Ringrave Bastart - 1505 (obviously an illegitimate son of one of the counts) * Casparen von Franken - from 1527, 1532 * Briktius Littich - 1548 * Georg Diether - 1592, 1607, 1620 *[[Bürgel-23|Dietrich von Bürgel]] - until around 1640 * Dietrich Cauer - 1650 * Johann Eckard, "Kyrburgischer Sekretarius" - 1661, 1674 *[[Jaeger-1155| Johann Georg Jäger]] - 1691 mentioned, officially 1692-1701/06 * Philipp Ludwig Stumpf, "Kirchenschaffner" from Kirn while Jäger was suspended - 1694 * [[Heusner-16 | Friedrich Christian Heusner]] (I) - 1701-1746 * [[Heusner-22 | Walrad Leopold Heusner]] (II) - 1749-1791 * [[Heusner-28 | Valentin Daniel Wilhelm Heusner]] (III) - 1791-1798 [see source 1] '''Foresters and hunters in Dhronecken''' Hunters and gunmen were always part of the castle staff, with game being a part of the diet. The hunter and maybe later also the forester usually resided in one of the houses on the "Hostert" (today's "Neis" house, as a map made in the 18. century shows it as "the hunter's house"). * 1648: Georg Seitz, forest master[see source 2, p.418] * [[Kirst-64 | Nikolaus Kirst]], gunman and later head forester (born before 1630), father of * [[Kirst-69 | Johann Philipp Kirst]], forester (he lived 1651- after 1710) * [[Kirst-63 | Johann Dietrich Kirst]], forester (he lived 1661-1740) * [[Röder-202|Georg Caspar Röder]], head forester from 1779, 1791 mentioned as Jäger (=hunter) [see source 2, p.422 and source 4, no 10220] * around 1865 Oberförster (= head forester) Helbron * Förster (= forester) Berresheim - he was said to have owned 31 pairs of hunting shoes [see source 1, p. 214] * Förster Müller - a devout catholic, arrested in 1933 by the Nazi government for not being a member of the NSDAP [see source 1, p. 214] === Local Traditions === '''Pfingstquak''' Dhronecken is one of few villages in the area to celebrate a "Pfingstquak" during Pentecost. Local children will build a tiny hut on a handcart, using branches of trees and gorse. The hut will be decorated with spring flowers, and one child will sit inside this little hut. The children now walk from house to house and tell each household the same story: they say they have caught a raven on a local hill ("Reizenberg"), and that the household members now have to guess its name. The child in the hut will cry like a raven so people can hear his/her voice. If they can't guess its name, they have to pay a penalty (usually consisting of some eggs or a small bag of flour, or some milk; these days often money or candy, too). {{Image|file=Dhronecken_Rhineland-Palatinate_-_One_Place_Study-12.jpg |size=l |caption="Pfingstquak" children in Dhronecken, probably taken in the 1920s }} People will of course guess wrongly (even if they recognize the child's voice) and pay their penalty. Having visited all houses, the children will take their loot to a fireplace and make pancakes out of the ingredients they collected. This tradition can still be found in a few protestant villages in the Hunsrück area, and also in some parts of Alsace. With less children being born, the tradition was almost lost in recent years but was revived by a parents' initiative. '''Dhronecken Carnival''' Carnival is mainly celebrated in the west and southwest of Germany. The date for Carnival changes every year; usually it is at the end of February or beginning of May. It starts on a Thursday (Weiberfastnacht, "Women's Thursday"), continues for the whole weekend and the following days - Rosenmontag ("Shrove Monday") and Fastnachtsdienstag ("Carnival Tuesday") - and ends on Aschermittwoch ("Ash Wednesday"). In Dhronecken, children used to dress up in costumes and walk from house to house in a group, collecting candy and money. When the door of a house visited was opened, they would chant a short rhyme in dialect. ''"Hahn Appel Hahn ''de Fasnacht es aan'' ... ''schneid ma e Stickche Schinge'' ''loss mich nit so lang lo stehn,'' ''eich muss nochn Haisje wäirer gehn."'''' which roughly translated means: ''"rooster apple rooster'' ''carnival has started'' ... ''cut a piece of bacon for me'' ''don't let me stand around here too long'' ''I still need to walk further to the next house"'' (note: one line of this chant I can't remember; will add it at a later time) Sadly this custom is not seen anymore but there is now a Carnival party at the castle. '''A final goodbye''' Inhabitants of Dhronecken who have passed away are traditionally given a farewell from the bell tower on the Hostert. When the hearse takes the corpse out of the village, the bell will be rung manually, with several breaks indicating if it is a man, a woman or a child who is leaving the village for the last time. For a man, there is one break during ringing the bell, for a woman two breaks, and for a child three breaks. The bell is rung until the hearse has passed the last visible curve of the road to Thalfang and is thus out of sight of the village. {{Image|file=Dhronecken_Rhineland-Palatinate_-_One_Place_Study-18.jpg |size=l |caption=Bell tower on the Hostert, view from main castle gate }} The bell is also rung every Saturday evening at 6 pm. === Genealogical Resources === There are three '''family books''' ("Familienbücher") listing the inhabitants of Dhronecken in the last few centuries. The fourth one lists catholic marriages in the whole area. * Detemple, Markus. Familienbuch der Mark Thalfang 1650-1805. Thalfang, 1989. * Giebel, Armin. Ortsfamilienbuch Standesamt Thalfang bis 1934. Gusenburg, 2012. * Karbach, Franz-Josef. Familienbuch der evangelischen Kirchengemeinde Thalfang 1818-1879.

It was named for the post office established in 1886. :Often in these small, rural areas, the post office becomes the center of the community. This village is no different. When I lived there, the area was nothing more than my father’s general store and gas station with the post office tucked inside. The Clear Creek Baptist Church sat on a hill above the store (and still does). :The building was located at a three-way intersection: one road leads to Big Hill (Jackson County), one road leads to Berea (Madison County), and the other leading to the county seat of Mount Vernon. ===Geography=== :{| class="wikitable" style="padding:4pt;" width="80%" |- ! ! |- | style="width:40%;" |'''Continent:''' North America | '''Country:''' United States |- | '''County:''' Rockcastle County | '''GPS Coordinates:''' 37°29′18″N 84°15′27″W |- | '''State/Province:''' Kentucky | '''Elevation:''' 425m / 1394feet |} :[https://www.kyatlas.com/ky-disputanta.html Disputanta] is in the northern part of Rockcastle County. Rockcastle County (established 1810) is about 50 miles south of Lexington, KY in the central portion of the state. {{Image|file=OPS_-_Disputanta_KY.jpg |align=C |size=M |caption=[https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Map_of_Kentucky_highlighting_Rockcastle_County.svg State of Kentucky] with excerpt of old map showing [http://www.davidrumsey.com Disputanta.] }} ===History=== :In 1855, the Reed Family of Lexington, acquired a tannery from [[Dodd-7410|Travis Dodd (1804-1884)]] near Clear Creek's Todd Branch. From their newly purchased 600 acres, they expanded operations to create a company town of Reedsville. :This company may have been the county's biggest business. The tannery and a church were at the center of this community. To serve the business, there were several area mills, a general store, and some 225 residents. The US Postal Service opened the Reedsville Post Office on 18 June 1878. Thomas Scott was the first postmaster. In December 1884, after the business failed, the post office closed. :The residents needed a centrally located post office. However, they could not agree upon a suitable name. Finally, the editor of the Mt. Vernon Signal, [[Maret-176|Colonel Jim Maret (1855-1936)]], suggested the name Disputanta. It is Latin for that which is disputed. Note: There is also a Disputanta in Virginia with a similar story. {{Image|file=OPS_-_Disputanta_KY-1.jpg |align=C |size=L |caption=Request for Disputanta Post Office from Henry Wood. }} :On June 25, 1886, [[Wood-49819|Henry H Wood (1858-1929)]] re-established the post office north of the mouth of Clear Creek's Loman Branch, half a mile below (southeast of) the old Reedsville site to serve a sawmill and the store Henry inherited from his father, [[Wood-49820|Joseph Wood (1820-1886)]]. :The post office moved multiple times as the village grew. In 1912, the office moved about a mile toward Davis Branch Road. Then in 1927, it moved a quarter of a mile to the mouth of Davis Branch.

He eventually started a general store and ran the post office. :Other [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Disputanta%2C_Kentucky_One_Place_Study profiles] related to this area. ===Population=== :The 1900 Census was conducted on 4 June 1900 by [[Cress-809|Thomas J Cress (1865-1904)]]. The census officials divided Rockcastle County into four districts as shown in the following figure. Disputanta was in the second district in the Scaffold Cane Precinct. You can hardly make out the word. {{Image|file=OPS_-_Disputanta_KY-2.jpg |align=C |size=L |caption=1900 US Census Map for Rockcastle County, KY }} :There were 269 families and 1,344 people in the precinct. It was a young population. Percentage wise, the minors were 51% of the population. The men outnumbered the women by a count of four. {{Image|file=OPS_-_Disputanta_KY-3.jpg |align=l |size=m |caption=1900 Census Age & Gender Analysis }} :The oldest person in the precinct was the widow [[Rhodes-10550|Elizabeth Rhodes (1811-1910)]]. She was born in North Carolina where she married her husband [[Northern-202|Joseph Northern (abt.1800-aft.1880)]]. They lived in Tennessee in 1850 but relocated to Knox County, KY prior to the Civil War. In 1900, she resided with her grandson,[[Northern-238|John F Northern (1878-1960)]] who had just married [[Gabbard-616 |Lucy Gabbard]] in April 1900. Later, John and Lucy moved to Tennessee where he was a sawmill operator. After he retired, they returned to Rockcastle County where they both died. :As for the youngest person, the rules were slightly bent. According to the rules, only those born prior to 1 JUN 1900 were to be counted. However, [[Viars-83|Cleatus Edwin Viars (1900-1985)]], who was born June 2, is listed. :His parents perhaps did not settle on a name because it is listed as Bryan in the census, but he went by Cleatus Edwin. Cleatus moved to Berea where he worked as a carpenter. He married [[Brockman-1376|Nora Lee (Brockman) Viars (1909-1990)]] who was also a native of Rockcastle County. ===Marital Status=== :Marriage was important in this culture. Women could not vote in 1900 and were seen as second-class citizens. When living in a rural area and running a farm, it required two adults and all the children you could have. This was a strong religious culture so being married was viewed as essential. {{Image|file=OPS_-_Disputanta_KY-4.jpg |align=r |size=m |caption=1900 Census Marital Status Analysis }} :There were 660 people over 18 and 80% were married or widowed. Of the unmarried population, as you can see in the following chart the majority were under twenty-five, so probably just a matter of time. :Of the unmarried and over thirty, there were fifteen. Nine of the fifteen were males under thirty-three so it seems like they were also just establishing themselves and would settle soon. :Being an unmarried female at this point may have felt like a curse. If you were not married by thirty, you were an old maid or spinster. Your life would be spent in servitude if your family lacked means. :There were six women who were not married and over thirty. It was difficult to find their death dates. Perhaps they married later or moved to another location. Without a husband, you were nearly invisible. :Some of these women were coming of age as the Civil War began in 1862. The war did two things: removed men of marriageable age and also took the men out of the area. Others may have been the youngest daughter and fell into a caretaker role for her parents. When her parents passed, she then became a helper in a sibling's home. *Mary Smith (1867-19??) *Cindy Morgan (1863-19??) *[[Chasteen-404|Elizabeth Chasteen (1856-)]] lived with her sister's family and was listed as a servant. *Josephine Allen (1856-19??) lived with her sister’s family. *Sara F Brock (1849-19??) lived with her parents. *Vivanna Cook (1842-1901) lived with her nephew’s family after her parents had died. ===Occupations=== :Farming was the chief occupation of the area families. Seventy-three percent of those who listed an occupation named farmer as the occupation. If you were not a farmer, you were a day laborer most likely at a farm. There were three attorneys listed.
