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. Even though he was close to bancruptcy in 1825, he kept on working for his family and to save Abbotsford House from being taken away from him.

From his humble birth in a third-floor apartment on College Wynd in the Old Town, Edinburgh he became a writer's writer, a man of great talent who was admired even by his peers. His life of works continue to be a source of inspiration to many to this day. As a victim of polio at an early age, he was sent to the farm of his grandparents in the Scottish Borders where his aunt Jenny Scott taught him to read. At age seven, he returned home to his parents in Edinburgh to start his formal education, and at age 12 he attended the University of Edinburgh, and at 18 studied law. That career path took him to being an Advocate, Sheriff-Depute of Selkirkshire, and Clerk of Session until he turned 40 and that is when he started in writing career.

Sir Walter Scott rescued the "jougs" (hinged iron collars) from Threave Castle in Dumfries and Galloway and attached them to the castellated gateway he built at Abbotsford. He also used the old Tolbooth in Edinburgh was used at the entrance. === Interior Highlights === Britain Express; https://www.britainexpress.comSecret Scotland; https://www.secret-scotland.comYelp; https://www.yelp.com The rooms today have been left virtually untouched since Sir Walter's death and a visit to Abbotsford House gives you an intimate insight into the personality and interests of this great man. Sir Walter was an avid collector of all things historical, and on display you can see many items of great historical significance to Scotland including Rob Roy's sporran/purse, gun & broadsword, a lock of Bonnie Prince Charlie's hair, a tumbler belonging to Scott's hero. Sir Walter's library contains around 7,000 books Abbotsford House is notable for its originality, even the 18th-century Chinese wallpaper in the Drawing room is original and amazingly unblemished. '''Armoury''' The Armoury displays swords and guns, including a blunderbuss (gun) used by Scott himself. Other prizes include Rob Roy's broadsword, and the keys to Lochleven Castle, tossed into the loch after Mary, Queen of Scots escaped from her island prison. '''Chapel''' Built in 1855 by his granddaughter Charlotte after she and her husband converted to Catholicism. Cardinal Newman (1801-1890) visited frequently and conducted services here. Many gifts that he gave the Scott family are on display. '''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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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 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.

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.

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.

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. Family Members: '''James Whitefoord''' (1630-1697) '''Sir Adam Whitefoord''' (1684-1727) ,1st Baronet 1701-1727 '''Sir John Whitefoord''' (1700-1763), 2nd Baronet 1727-1763 '''Sir John Whitefoord''' (1734-1803) , 3rd Baronet 1763-1803 (Patron of Robert Burns) The barony ended with the 3rd Baronet because he did not produce any legitimate male heirs. 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. Family Members: '''Sir James Hunter-Blair''', (1741-1787) 1st Baronet was created a Baronet in 1786, the Territorial Designation being "of Dunskey" '''Sir John Hunter-Blair''' (1773-1800), 2nd Baronet 1787-1800 (eldest son of James, 1st Baronet) '''Sir David Hunter-Blair''' (1778-1857), 3rd Baronet 1800-1857 (2nd eldest son of James, 1st Baronet) '''Sir Edward Hunter-Blair''' (1818–1896), 4th Baronet 1857-1896 (eldest surviving son of David, 3rd Baronet) '''Sir David Oswald Hunter-Blair''' (1853–1939), 5th Baronet 1896-1939 (eldest son of Edward, 4th Baronet) '''Sir Edward Hunter-Blair''' (1858–1945), 6th Baronet 1939-1945 (eldest surviving son of Edward, 4th Baronet) '''Sir James Hunter-Blair''' (1945–1985), 7th Baronet 1945-1985 (eldest son of Edward, 6th Baronet) '''Sir Edward Thomas Hunter-Blair''' (1985-2006), 8th Baronet 1985-2006 (son of James, 7th Baronet) '''Sir Patrick David Hunter Blair''' (b.1958) , 9th Baronet 2006-Present (grandson of 7th Baronet's younger brother) ''Note: The present Baronet, Sir Patrick and Lady Hunter Blair, still live on part of what used to be the estate, in the "old Dower House" at Milton of Blairquhan.'' === Historical Highlights Timeline === Love, Dane - Ayrshire, Discovering A County, Fort Publishing, 2003Blairquhan Castle; https://www.blairquhan.co.uk '''1346''' – A tower house was built on the land by the M’Churterr (McWhirter) family after being granted ownership and use by King David II.

'''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.

It is one of over 3000 castles in Ireland but most assuredly the most popular by tourists. It went through numerous families in its history. The castle ruin and estate receive over 500,000 visitors per year making it one of the most visited places in Ireland. ===DEFINITIONS=== Oxford Dictionary; Oxford Languages Some words or events contained in this OPS may not be known to the reader, and are defined as such herein for reference.

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. '''Dungeon''' As one might expect, this was used to hold unfortunate prisoners if needed. '''Murder Room''' It was called the murder room but no murders actually took place here (that we know of). 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.

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).

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.

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.

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. (Château Number 1) '''''15th Century''''' '''1411''' - To punish decedent Jean I Marques (XXXX-XXXX) for speaking out against authority, the original manor château was set ablaze by royal decree. '''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.

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.

It's planted with petunias, yellow, white roses, begonias and tulips within five lawns and boxwood hedges.

'''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.

== 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. They just happened to live near the Clifton House but had no connection to the building, or running, the hotel. {{One Place Study|place=Clifton House Site, Raton, New Mexico|category=Clifton House Site, Raton, New Mexico One Place Study}} {{Clear}} *{{Wikidata|Q5133256|enwiki}} * [[Special:Whatlinkshere/Space:Clifton House Site, Raton, New Mexico One Place Study|WikiTree Profiles that link here]] ===Name=== ===Geography=== :'''Continent:''' North America :'''Country:''' United States of America :'''State/Province:''' New Mexico :'''County:''' Colfax :'''GPS Coordinates:''' 36.6418439007286, -104.52471421862882 :'''Elevation:''' 1871.0 m or 6138.5 feet ===History=== ===Population=== ====Notables==== *[[Wikipedia:Clay Allison|Clay Allison]] *[[Wikipedia:Chunk Colbert|Chunk Colbert]] ==Sources== * "National Register Information System".

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.

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.

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. The estate policies (Scots for wooded area) are home to a wide range of habitats, including woodlands, marshes, ponds and streams. === Notable People === Wikitree; https://www.wikitree.comBritain Express; https://www.britainexpress.comFamily Search; https://ancestors.familysearch.orgWikipedia; https://en.wikipedia.orgGeni; https://www.geni.com '''Alexander Burnard''' (1270-1348) 1st Laird of Leys Born: Leys, Kincardineshire, Scotland Died: Leys, Kincardineshire, Scotland Resting Place: Unknown Bio Summary: Not noted Parents: Roger Burnard (1250-1292) and Sarah Hague (1254-1292) Siblings: Robert Burnard (1285-XXXX) Spouse: Unknown Issue: Symond Burnard (abt.1300-abt.1380) 2nd Laird of Leys '''Alexander Burnett''' (1540-1578) 11th Laird of Leys Born: Leys, Kincardineshire, Scotland Died: Leys, Kincardineshire, Scotland Resting Place: Unknown Bio Summary: Started building Crathes in 1553 with money from his wife's dowry.

(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.

'' ''Note: There are other Marquesses beyond this point with no direct ties to Culzean and are therefore not mentioned in this One Place Study.'' === Building History === The National Trust for Scotland; ''A Tour of Culzean Castle'', 1977Britain Express; https://www.britainexpress.comLove, Dane, ''Ayrshire, Discovering a County'', 2003Academia; https://www.academia.eduSlow Europe; https://www.sloweurope.com It is most certain that there was some form of structure located on the Culzean site between the late 12th century and early 16th century, maybe even before. 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".

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.

The estate was bought by William Crichton, 2nd Earl of Dumfries (1598-1691) in 1635. It was the 5th Earl who decided to build a new home on the site and employed the Adam brothers (Robert, John, and James) to design the structure. The house today combines neoclassical architecture with the furniture of Thomas Chippendale. Sitting within a 2000 acre estate the house is nestled between Auchinleck Burn (to the North), Nest Burn (to the East), and Pollack Burn (to the West). === The Earls of Dumfries Peerage === Wikipedia; https://en.wikipedia.orgElectric Scotland; https://electricscotland.comCracroft's Peerage; http://www.cracroftspeerage.co.uk The following is a summary of the line of succession of the Earl's of Dumfries, and one Countess of Dumfries: '''William Crichton''', 1st Earl of Dumfries (1578-1643) '''William Crichton''', 2nd Earl of Dumfries (1598-1691) '''William Crichton''', 3rd Earl of Dumfries (XXXX-1694) Died without issue.

Originally commissioned to their father William Adam (1689-1748), the sons took up the challenge after their father died. === Interior Highlights === Prince of Wales; https://www.princeofwales.gov.ukScene Therapy; https://scenetherapy.comDumfries House; https://dumfries-house.org.ukArchitectural Digest article dated February 2012; https://www.architecturaldigest.com '''Entrance Hall''' Resembling the interior design of the Palladio's villas in Veneto, Italy, the hall shows off the status of the 5th Earl of Dumfries with its hand painted cartouches and the coat of arms of the Earls of Dumfries on the ceiling and rich furniture appointments, all which make a statement that someone of importance lives here. '''Great Steward's Dining Room''' The main dining room of the house used for social functions in the old days still serves the same function today. The house today is available for meetings and weddings. '''Lord Dumfries' Study''' Originally ‘My Lord’s Dressing Room’, the study would have also been a place of rest and was furnished with a single bed. It became a classic room for the 5th Earl to work in which contains Chippendale furniture and of course his picture on the wall. '''Pink Dining Room''' This room is the best preserved room of the house from the original build. Pink accents bring out its richness in the decorative ceiling as well as the Wedgewood China and Italian pink Murano glass chandelier. '''Blue Drawing Room''' An elegant Georgian sitting room beautifully appointed with original Chippendale chairs purchased by the 5th Earl along with Samuel Smith mirrors, and George Mercer tables. A blue hand-woven damask silk upholstered sofa and chairs are located on each side of the fireplace as well as large paintings on the wall by Sir Henry Raeburn (1756-1823) of the 6th Earl and his family. '''Family Bedroom''' An stately bedroom with its blue Chippendale four poster bed and framed scene over the fireplace. The room may have originally contained elaborate and expensive furnishings and used as a reception room for the lady of the house. '''Parlor''' Originally used as a dining room in the 1800's it was converted to the parlor used by family to relax and features yellow silk damask on the Chippendale chairs, sofa and curtains possibly. '''Pewter Corridor''' A unique part of the house, this corridor is part of architect Robert Weir Schultz (1860-1951) 19th century west wing extension. It links the extension to the main eighteenth-century section next to the Blue Drawing Room. The corridor took its name from a family collection of pewter displayed there in the twentieth century. Inspired by Byzantine architecture, the corridor consists of eight square compartments, each with a circular dome above and connected by semi-circular arches. In the 2010 restoration, the original poly-chrome colour scheme was carried out by Mark Nevin (1987-XXXX) of the firm Nevin of Edinburgh who was just twenty-three years old at the time of his involvement. '''Picture Gallery''' This rectangular passageway with its rich green walls and upholstered Chippendale and Alexander Peter chairs, features a large amount of paintings loaned from both the Stuart of Bute collection and the Fleming Wyfold Art Foundation, as well as some by Teniers and Van de Velde paintings that the 3rd Earl of Bute acquired during his lifetime and would likely have come from his home 'Luton Hoo' in Bedfordshire, England which he bought in 1763. '''Tapestry Room''' The Tapestry Room was formed as part of the 19th century west wing extension by architect Robert Weir-Schultz. Commissioned by the 3rd Marquess of Bute, the room was designed to house four early-eighteenth-century Flemish tapestries acquired by the 5th Earl of Dumfries. The room was completed by the 4th Marquess, eight years after his father’s death in October 1900. The room is paneled with cedar wood, as a natural moth deterrent, helping to keep the tapestries free from damage. === Points of Interest - Estate === Prince of Wales; https://www.princeofwales.gov.ukScene Therapy; https://scenetherapy.comBritish Heritage; https://britishheritage.comGoogle Maps (Visual References); https://www.google.comDumfries House; https://dumfries-house.org.ukWikipedia; https://en.wikipedia.org '''Arboretum''' Linking the 18th-century Robert Adam designed Avenue Bridge and the Walled Garden is the Arboretum. This 10 acre site was re-created from an overgrown area of spruces and poplars, as well as non-native trees to a magnificent collection of trees of 500 different varieties along with a range of shrubs and woodland flowers by horticulturist Brian Corr. To the East of the site are two newly created lochans (small lochs), which are a haven for a wide range of wildlife. '''Avenue Bridge''' (aka Adam Bridge) Location: North Entrance - Off the B7036 (Barony Road) near the A76 on a road called 'The Avenue'. West of Auchileck town centre. South Entrance - Off the A70 at the Dumfries House Lodge. West of Cumnock town centre. Designed by the Adam brothers, the triple arch elliptical bridge was created to provide the first look to visitors as they approached the house. The bridge was built in the late 1700's but has been repaired and restored in the 19th and 20th centuries as well. '''Chinese Bridge''' c.2017 Location: West of the Avenue Bridge Designed originally by Scottish architect Robert Weir Schultz in 1899 for the 3rd Marquis of Bute but never built, this unusual (new) bridge by architect Keith Ross for the Duke of Rothesay came to fruition by CTS Bridges Company of England. The North and South supports were hand built by masons and the prefabricated steel bridge pieces brought in and placed by crane. The original concept called for red accent colour but today's version features green colour instead. '''Dovecoat''' (aka Doocot) c.1671 Built to attract and store pidgeon's for the winter month. It was likely built by the 2nd Earl in the late 1600's, since he took possession in 1635. The origin date (1671) is carved above the doorway which also features a heraldic carving likely of the McDouall's. This is interesting because that name did not enter into the family until the mid 1700's which may suggest that the shield was added at a later time possibly by the 6th Earl, Patrick McDouall-Crichton. '''Dumfries House Lodge''' c.1750 Location: Main estate entrance off the A70 roadway. A 5 star Country Guest House offering luxury accommodation available for public stays in the main guest house or self catering cottages. It was originally used by the family for many years. '''Lady's Well''' c.1759; Rebuilt 2019 The main water well for the estate dating back to Lochnorris, this well served the family for many years. It was blown up by soliders who were stationed on the estate during World War II but has been rebuilt in newer times by a team of skilled apprentices in a 16-month-long project who also built its overhead stone structure to its original design. '''Maze''' c.2016 Location: South-East of Adam Bridge Almost 2000 6ft-high trees were planted during its construction. The maze, which includes obelisks and a Japanese pagoda was created by by Fife-based landscape designer Michael Innes, and its paths stretch to over half a mile. '''Temple Gate''' The original gate house plan was shelved from the start when the adjacent land owner denied usage rights through his property and thus fell into severe decay over the centuries. It was restored as an estate feature during the restoration in the 21st century. '''Queen Elizabeth Walled Garden''' In many ways this is the flagship project of the Dumfries House Estate restoration. The five-acre walled garden is one of the biggest in Scotland and features a unique 12-metre drop from north to south. === Memorials === Goggle; https://www.google.comHirst Conservation Ltd; https://www.hirst-conservation.com '''Crucifix''' c.1900 Location: East of Dumfries House The crucifix, made of marble by Nathaniel Hubert John Westlake (1833–1921) was erected in memory of John Patrick Crichton-Stuart (1847-1900) the 3rd Marquess of Bute and 8th Earl of Dumfries upon his death.

It features an extremely strong solid surface upon which to build a fortress of great size. === Overview === Dunnottar Castle; https://www.dunnottarcastle.co.ukWikipedia; https://en.wikipedia.orgBritain Express; https://www.britainexpress.com Constructed of local red sandstone from the 'mainland', Dunnottar Castle sits alone and in ruins cliffside in Aberdeenshire, Scotland facing the North Sea. It is reported that thousands of centuries before Christ (BC), the Picts likely established a small fortress on or near the rock. FYI - The first three letters (Dun) of the name means fort in Pictish terms. Around 400AD, in an effort to promote Christianity, Saint Ninian built an early church here which was later destroyed. Small fortresses were then later established on the rock against Norse invasions. The Viking, English, and the Scots all played a historical role in Dunnottar throughout the centuries. Around 1392, Sir William Keith (1306-1407), Great Marischal of Scotland started to build his home which eventually turned into a massive castle covering about three and one half acres. It had a keep and numerous out-buildings all of which became the perfect location for privacy. === Earls Marischal === Innes, Thomas, The Scottish Historical Review, Vol. 24, No. 96 (Jul., 1927), pp. 280-297 (18 pages), Published By: Edinburgh University PressWikitree; https://www.wikitree.comKeith Clan, Succession of the Keith's as Great Marischals of Scotland; https://keithclan.net It seems that, as one reads about the Earls Marischal in various resources, that a numbering difference appears which relates to their title of Earl. The clan Keith website has two online resource pages that contradict each other, one saying there were nine Earls, and the other indicating that there were ten. In 1927, Thomas Innes wrote about a change that created much confusion as to which Earl was which as far as their number designation was concerned. He felt that there was actually another Earl that should have been in the mix which bumped all the succeeding Earls down one notch which would correspond to the theory of ten Earls. See comparison below. ''Note: The profile manager of this OPS has used the 1927 revision by Thomas Innes as the official numbering and naming convention with corroboration by Wikitree profiles as well.''

The other principal buildings are the gatehouse; the chapel; and the 16th-century "palace" which incorporates the "Whigs' Vault". '''Chapel''' Consecrated in 1276 and largely rebuilt in the 16th century. Medieval walling and two 13th-century windows remain, and there is a graveyard to the south. '''Cistern''' While not a structure, it is surely a notable feature of the castle grounds. It was used as the main source of water for the occupants of the castle. '''The Great Hall''' The centerpiece of the castle was used for feasts, meetings, and other important events. It is a large, rectangular room with high, vaulted ceilings and a fireplace at one end. '''Keep''' (aka Tower House) The late 14th-century three story tower house had a basement. It measured 40 by 36 feet (12 by 11 m), and stood 50 feet (15 m) high. The main rooms included a great hall and a private chamber for the lord, with bedrooms upstairs. '''Palace''' Built in the late 16th century and early to mid-17th century. It comprises three main wings set out around a quadrangle, and for the most part is probably the work of the 5th Earl Marischal. '''Whigs' Vault''' The cellar measuring 52 by 15 ft (15.8 by 4.6 m).

'''Potato Famine''' - Between 1845 and 1852, the potato crop of Ireland was infected by a disease destroying the crop which was the main staple of the population at the time causing mass starvation and death. This resulted in a great emigration from Ireland. === Overview === '''''Note: While this OPS focuses on the CHQ building and EPIC Museum, it also goes on to explore Irish emigration from a historical aspect as well, which is the basis for EPIC, the museum itself.''''' === CHQ Building - The Early Years === \DPpedia; https://dbpedia.orgEPIC, The Irish Emigration Museum; https://epicchq.comWikipedia; https://en.wikipedia.org/ The CHQ (Custom House Quay) building is located in the historical docklands district of Dublin along the River Liffey, and a roadway of the same name. Formerly known as 'Stack A', or 'The Tobacco Store', the CHQ building stretches North to South between George's Dock Street and Custom House Quay Road. It was built between 1817 and 1820 as a storehouse for the valuable cargo of tobacco, tea and alcohol which was offloaded from nearby sailing ships along the quay. The building was built by the manual labor of Irish bricklayers and features a barrel vaulted ceiling inside. === CHQ Building - Today === Google Maps; https://www.google.com/mapsPersonal visit by Stuart Wilson Today, the Northern half of the CHQ building is leased to commercial ventures while the Southern end is dedicated to EPIC. === EPIC - One Man’s Vision === Facts; https://facts.net/celebrity/Wikipedia; https://en.wikipedia.org/World Wildlife Fund; https://www.worldwildlife.org/EPIC, The Irish Emigration Museum; https://epicchq.com The brainchild behind EPIC comes from one man, Neville Isdell (b.1943). Born in the town of Downpatrick, County Down, Northern Ireland, Neville, as a child and his family left their home when he was only ten years old and moved to Zambia, Southern Africa. It seems appropriate that in his lifetime, an Irishman who headed an American company, traveled to 151 countries, and who lived and worked on 5 different continents would end up back in his homeland to found a museum about emigration, but that's how it all went down. Fresh out of the University of Cape Town (South Africa), he joined the Coca Cola company at age 23 as a general manager, and became President 15 years later. After earning a degree at Harvard Business School, and an honorary Doctorate from Georgia State University, he eventually became Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Coca-Cola Beverages Plc in Great Britain. He even found time along the way to author a book called “Inside Coca-Cola: A CEO’s Life Story of Building the World’s Most Popular Brand.” After a 43 year career, Neville retired in 2009, and is now Chairman of his own company, Collines Investments based in St Peter, Barbados, Eastern Caribbean. As a philanthropist, he donates in the fields of education, healthcare, and community development. Neville is also the head of The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) for the conservation of endangered species. So at some point during his retirement he must have thought of what can he do for his homeland that reflects on his and others' emigration to so many countries. He eventually got the idea of building an emigration museum to honor all those Irish that would seek out a new life in another part of the world. The result was EPIC, The Irish Emigration Museum based in Dublin, Ireland. In the words of founder Neville Isdell: “My own experience of being an emigrant has always stayed with me. And as they say, I left Ireland but Ireland never left me. Before retiring as Chairman and CEO of Coca-Cola in 2009 my career took me all over the world, to 151 countries, living and working in 5 different continents. I’ve always believed that the story of Irish people around the world was one worth telling, and so, I founded EPIC in 2016.” Neville Isdell, Founder, EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum === EPIC - A Dream Realized === EPIC, The Irish Emigration Museum; https://epicchq.comWikipedia; https://en.wikipedia.org/Google Maps; https://www.google.com/mapsPersonal visit by Stuart Wilson In 2013 Neville Isdell bought the run down CHQ Building and started renovations to bring it up to modern standards. He funded all of the project which would become EPIC, The Irish Emigration Museum. An advisory panel was formed to research the exhibition content while a London-based specialist museum design consultancy, Event Communications, was appointed to design and develop the museum’s 20 themed galleries, and EPIC was launched in 2016. EPIC overlooks the River Liffey, which was the departure point for so many people who fled the country during 'The Famine', so it’s a very fitting home for Ireland’s emigration museum. The people of Ireland mostly left during terrible times to seek out a new life under better circumstances away from their homeland. Based on that, there was a definite need to have a central point which would bring together the history of emigration and the many lives it touched. EPIC fulfills that need so that Irish descendants today can have an institution dedicated to their ancestors and the struggles they went through in those early times and the importance of the Irish diaspora in the cultural, political and economic development of both Ireland and the communities they now call home. At EPIC you’ll discover why 10 million Irish men, women, and children left Ireland and the impact they had on the world. EPIC was officially opened by former Irish President Mary Robinson in May 2016. Since then it has welcomed hundreds of thousands of visitors every year, and as current President Michael D. Higgins noted, "it has played a key role in highlighting Ireland’s emigrant experiences, its causes and consequences, and its relevance to the stories of those who are, today, escaping marginalisation, poverty and conflict.” EPIC offers each visitor a hands-on experience of Irish culture and its past in a fully interactive museum. It features video galleries with motion sensor quizzes, as well as where one can listen to remastered audio from 100 years ago and watch videos that bring Irish history to life. It's about lives, music, and the hopes and dreams of the many who fled Ireland. At the North end of the museum there is the Irish Family History Centre where one can book a one on one consultation with a genealogist to find out more about their heritage. This offering is also available online as well. EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum was voted Europe’s Leading Tourist Attraction 2019, 2020 and 2021. === Irish Emigration Facts Timeline === Fitzpatrick, David, “The Modernization of the Irish Female”, in P O’ Flanagan, P Ferguson and K.

Great Britain, primarily in the port cities of Liverpool and Glasgow, and countries under British rule including the Caribbean took most of the immigrants likely because it was close to home. Eventually the Irish set their sights on lands further afield such as America, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand, and eventually other countries as well. '''1560-1600''' - Some of the first Irish people to travel to the New World did so as members of the Spanish garrison in Saint Augustine, Florida. '''1600's''' - The India Subcontinent saw many Irish immigrants who were mostly traders, and some soldiers as well. '''1620's''' - Irish Roman Catholic merchants took advantage of the business trade boom in the Caribbean of sugar, tobacco, and cotton and fled their homeland to become wealthy. '''1641''' - The Irish Rebellion by the Catholics against the confiscation of land by the English took place. '''1649-1652''' - The Cromwellian War saw the English ruler force out the Irish Catholics. Irish prisoners of war and civilian captives were involuntarily shipped to Bermuda. This was followed by Irish indentured laborers in servitude of wealthy land owners who promised this Irish class freedom and land. The offspring of the above classes themselves later left the West Indies for America when slavery of blacks began to replace the Irish whites. These Irish, especially the ones from Barbados made a home in the Carolina's of their new found homeland. '''1680's''' - Irish Quakers (aka The Religious Society of Friends) and Protestant Dissenters who would not conform to the Church of England began to depart for Atlantic shores. '''1710-1720''' - Ulster Presbyterian, Anglican Protestant, and Catholic religious groups from Ireland’s Northern Ulster started to leave their homeland for Massachusetts when Governor Samuel Shute (1662-1742) set aside free land for the new settlers which numbered around 2600 immigrants. '''1740 -1741''' - The first potato famine (aka The Year of Slaughter or the Great Frost) struck which killed a third of the Irish population. '''1765-1783''' - The American Revolution temporarily halted Ulster immigration to America. Those Irish already in America fought against the British army. '''1776''' - The U.S. Declaration Of Independence was signed. Of the 53 signatories, 4 were Irish born and 4 were Irish Americans. '''1791-1867''' - Australia started to see a large contingent of Irish convicts arrive in this time frame. '''1812-1815''' - The war of 1812 between the U.S and Great Britain created an influx of Irish immigrants to Canada. '''1815 -1845''' - About another one million Irish left for the United States and Canada. '''1820-1860''' - More than 38,000 Irish immigrated to Argentina. '''1830-1850''' - More than 500,000 arrived from Ireland into the Canadian provinces. Many found the weather to extreme and out-migrated to the United States and Western Canada in the decades that followed. '''1845-1852''' - There was actual 3 famines but the one described here was the worst . The Potato Famine (aka The Great Hunger) was just about all the Irish could take and it caused a great migration of about two million Irish to America. During the famine years it is estimated that around ten million Irish citizens emigrated to not only America, but other lands far and near on 'Famine Ships or the 'Coffin Ships'. Their plight, was full of heartbreak and adventure all rolled into one. They were desperate for a new beginning. '''1848''' - The discovery of gold in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California lured many Irish who dreamed of becoming rich. '''1861-1864'''' - The gold mines of New Zealand also drew a lot of Irish hoping to strike it rich. Many Irish also came with the British army during the New Zealand Wars. '''1879''' - The last of the 3 famines struck Ireland again. This one was called the "mini-famine" or 'An Gorta Beag'. '''1881-1890''' - This was a boom time of emigration to the U.S. with over 5 million Irish citizens making the voyage to the U.S. east coast. '''1882''' - Because of the recent wave of immigrants to the U.S., Congress was forced to pass an emigration restriction law. '''1892-1900''' - America's 'Ellis island Emigration Center opened to accept not only Irish immigrants but other European countries as well but these people were subject to a more rigorous examination of their financial state as well as their health. A small percentage of Irish were sent back home. '''1899-1902''' - A large army of Irish troops fought in the Anglo-Boer War (aka South African war) on both sides. Some remained after the war and some left only to return with their families later, about 5000 in all. '''1912''' - Titanic Disaster - On that fateful night of April 14th when RMS Titanic struck an iceberg in the North Atlantic, then sank in early morning of the April 15th. The number of Irish passengers vary from source to source but Wikipedia accounts for 117 Irish born citizens traveling from Queenstown (now Cobh) Ireland to New York. Only 4 Irish passengers were in 1st class, while 11 were in 2nd class, and 102 were in 3rd class (Steerage). 1st class passengers paid between 30 and 870 British Pounds (BP) while 2nd paid 13 BP and 3rd paid 7 BP for adults and 3 BP for children. Immigrant Irish men, women, children, and even entire families were part of the 78 Irish who lost their lives during this event, never to fulfill their dream of a new homeland. A breakdown of died vs. survived are as follows: 1st Class - 4 Died - 0 Survived 2nd Class - 10 Died - 1 Survived 3rd Class 64 Died - 38 Survived Surprisingly, despite the titanic being built in Ireland, only one crew member was Irish. Today, the Irish keep departing their birth country, although in a much smaller amount than history shows. Irish emigration today ha taken on a global presence where Irish are found in every corner of the world. === Notable Immigrants - Irish Born === Wikipedia; https://en.wikipedia.orgStudy Smarter; https://www.studysmarter.co.ukIrish Post; https://www.irishpost.comGoogle; https://www.google.com '''Pierce Brendan Brosnan''' (b.1953) Actor; Drogheda, County Louth, Ireland '''Captain Paul Boyton''' (c.1848-1924) Daredevil; Dublin, Ireland '''John Dunlap''' (1747-1812) Signed the U.S. Declaration Of Independence; Ulster, Northern, Ireland '''Margaretta Alexandra Eagar''' (1863-1936) Nanny to the four daughters of Emperor and Empress Nicholas II and Alexandra Feodorovna of Russia 1898 to 1904. ; Limerick, Ireland '''James Gamble''' (1803-1891) Soap Manufacturer; Enniskillen, Ireland, '''Deirdre Gogarty''' (b.1969) Boxer; Drogheda, Ireland '''Paul David Hewson''' (aka Bono) (b.1960) Singer, Songwriter; Dublin, Ireland '''Liam Neeson''' (b.1952) Actor; Ballymena, Ireland '''Sister Anthony O’Connell''' (1814-1897) Nurse; Limerick, Ireland '''Bishop John Baptist Purcell''' (1833-1883) American prelate of the Catholic Church, Bishop of Cincinnati; Mallow, County Cork, Ireland '''James L.

Originally there were three dock areas feeding off the River Liffey which were adjacent to the CHQ (Stack A) building. Together they were generally referred to as 'The Custom House Docks'. The further development of the adjacent quay roadway in the early 1900's resulted in the installation of the Scherzer Lift Bridge (see below) so that boats could still access the docks. '''George's Dock''' c.1821 Designed by architect John Rennie the Elder (1761-1821) Of the three, this dock was the 'medium' sized one used as a maritime dock for general shipping, and was named for King George IV of England (1762-1830). In 1927, it was filled in due to fact that it was no longer a working dock. '''Old Dock''' c. 1796 Designed by architect James Gandon (1742-1823) The smaller of the three docks was likely used for smaller craft and was likely the first dock built. It no longer exists, but its location would be just North of George's Dock, about where the 3 level Stack B building is located today. '''Revenue Dock''' c.1824 Designed by architect John Rennie the Elder (1761-1821), and completed by his son John Rennie the Younger (1794-1874). The last of the three and the largest, it was used by Customs Authorities as a formal loading and unloading dock. It still has water in it but the dock has been developed for apartment living.

Golston had been a farmer, but it had become difficult for him to make a living farming. Mr. Golston came across a local resident who needed a house built. Mr. Golston contracted to build the house, and things developed so that he moved to Quebeck, Tennessee, where he later opened a sawmill. In 1929, a new boiler engine was bought from the Cincinnati, Ohio-based Southern Engine and Boiler Company. The boiler was one piece, and it took John Savage Kirby and Myrl Slatton four weeks to set it up. The engine only had 60 horsepower. The sawmill, a circular mill, was the first mechanism for producing lumber at the time to use technology. The ancient manual labor pit saw was replaced by circular mills. One of Golston's stepsons, John Cooper, started working at the mill. Later, Carl Cooper, John's son, took over running it until 1930. Tennessee Saw and Planing Mill was bought by Everett Rowland, a mill customer, in 1930, and became Everett Rowland Lumber Company. The mill supplied work during the Great Depression when Rowland took over when lumber was delivered to Nashville by rail as well as sawed to make house plans and lumber to build barns and other structures for local residents. The saw was self-sufficient and operated by a steam engine utilizing sawdust that was left over after usage. About 50 men worked at the mill during WWII, with 35 working in the mill and 15 chopping wood and operating six Dodge trucks to transport the logs to the mill. To move the logs to a location where a wagon could access them, five pairs of mules were used. It was a very risky task that required two or more men to load logs into trucks using skid poles and cant hooks. In 1955, Thompson & Green in Nashville sold a Caterpiller logging equipment, and Fred Clark in Sparta, Tennessee sold a Wiggler. Up until the introduction of the power chain saw to the market, the mill's lumber had to be cut with a crosscut saw, which required two men to operate. Mr. Rowland bought parcels throughout White County and even neighboring counties. Rowland remained involved in the company until he was a senior, at which point his youngest son, Thomas, took over. Everett Rowland formerly operated a log rafting company before taking over the sawmill. Mr. Rowland made 80 to 85 trips to Nashville between 1910 and 1930 while rafting logs from the Caney Fork River to the Cumberland River and into Nashville. In 1949, a brand-new office and warehouse were constructed that offered all the materials required to build a house or other structures, along with seeds, fertilizer, a complete line of hard products, and a small selection of food and dry goods. The sawmill was given to White County, Tennessee, a few years ago and, if the White County Heritage Museum can obtain funding, it might be converted into a museum. It only completed bespoke orders for clients in its final years of business before closing its doors.Information obtained due to the courtesy of White County Heritage Museum, article from the Pastfinder, a paper put out by the White County TN Genealogical-Historical Society, and an article from 2014 ===Population=== List of Owners and Employees ;[[Goldston-101|John Goldston (1803-1873)]] - Former Owner ;[[Cooper-15612|William Cooper (1843-1913)]] - Former Owner ;[[Cooper-32301|John Steele Cooper (1848-1930)]] - Former Owner ;[[Rowland-12279|Thomas Everett Rowland (1893-1983)]] - Owner ;[[Elliot-2139|Cecil Braxton Elliot (1900-1952)]] - Mule Driver ;[[Roberts-21676|Pascal Roberts (1913-1977)]] - Log Pusher ;[[Matheney_Sr-1|Buddy Lee (Matheney Sr) Matheney Sr (1956-2014)]] ;[[Seibers-14|Joe Lee Seibers (1931-1993)]] ;[[Rowland-13929|John Theron Rowland (1916-1971)]] ;[[Kirby-7426|Orville Lee Johnson Kirby (1888-1972)]] ;[[Kirby-7427|John Savage Kirby (1889-1968)]] ;[[Kirby-7428|James Willard Kirby (1920-1990)]] ;[[Kirby-7429|Arvin Boyd Kirby (1917-1988)]] - Truck Driver ;[[Kirby-7430|Freddie Lee Kirby (1937-1969)]] - Tractor Driver ;[[Roberts-47356|Thomas Clemon Roberts (1910-1994)]] - Sawer ;[[Slatten-50|Myrl Slatten (1889-1968)]] ;[[Tindle-546|Wiley Bill Tindle (1917-1976)]] ;[[Spakes-18|JB Spakes (1917-1999)]] ;[[Seibers-22|Jonas Seibers (1912-1982)]] ;[[Sanders-19434|Clifton Wright Sanders (1911-1984)]] - Stove Wood Truck ;[[Kirby-7453|Gordon Kirby (1922-1960)]] ;[[Witt-4085|Charles Witt (1896-1966)]] ;[[Goldston-61|Wiley Lasiter Goldston (1856-1923)]] ;[[Cooper-36427|Karl Russell Cooper (1896-1961)]] - Manager ====Notables==== *[[Wikipedia:|Wikipedia:]] No Known Notables at this time ==Sources== [[Space:Photos_of_Everett_Rowland_Sawmill|Photos of Everett Rowland Sawmill]] [https://www.tnvacation.com/local/sparta-white-county-heritage-museum White County Heritage Museum] [http://web.blomand.net/~wcolley/wcghs.html White County Genealogical-Historical Society]

'''History of Evergreen School as remembered by James I Mason''': "Newspapers.com"
Tri-County Press (Polo, Illinois) Thu, Apr 6, 1933, page 4
{{Newspapers.com|144048553}} (accessed 24 March 2024) Much of the history of Evergreen School is based on his memories. '''Original Schoolhouse & Location''' The school is reported to have been opened up in about 1854. It was first held in an old log house that was located 90 rods (1/4 mile) east of the home buildings on the north side of the road. This appears to not be located on the known site of Kingery & Evergreen School, but probably very nearby. The original log house was much decayed and was barely usable but it was probably the only building available. Mr. Mason reported that it had no sash, nor door and was unfinished. The hinges were wooden and were driven into the logs. The shingles were about a foot and a half long and reported to be curled and leaky. Mr. Mason reported that the teacher's desk was made from a board about 2 feet wide and 3 feet long with cleats at both ends and X's nailed to them as legs. The benches were sawed on only one side with legs put in with an auger. '''Schoolhouse at Second Location''' The next school house was built in 1858 or 1859 at a second location in the S.W. corner of John Heckman's "Wilbur Eighty". One-half acre was donated by Mr. Wilbur for the school house site. Mr. Mason recalls only 1 teacher at this site, Miss Sarah Allaban in about 1859 or 1860. '''Schoolhouse at Final Location''' Probably about 1862, the schoolhouse was moved to the final site location on the NE corner of Evergreen & Spruce roads. Mr. Mason believes there was an attempt during the 1880s to split the district differently and to move the school house about 1/2 mile north onto Fossler's NE corner, but this failed. Probably before 1900, this school house was then sold to Jacob Adams and moved to his farm where Price Heckman was living in 1918. This allowed a new schoolhouse to be erected on the same foundation. This house was destroyed by fire on Monday, Jan 20, 1902. '''Kingery Schoolhouse Burns''': "Newspapers.com"

{{Newspapers.com|144057116}} (accessed 24 March 2024) . School had been in session in the building that day with the teachers and pupils leaving at 4 o'clock. The supposition was that the cause of the fire was probably caused by a defective stove as the fire-pot was considerably cracked. The school was again rebuilt and was still standing in 1918, at the time of Mr. Mason's letter. ===Events=== Basket Socials were common as a fundraiser and get together.Nov 1910 Basket Social, Page 7, column 2 of Tri-County Press, published in Polo, Illinois on Thursday, November 24th, 1910https://polopublic.advantage-preservation.com/viewer/?i=f&d=01011865-12312013&e=evergreen%20school&m=between&ord=e1&fn=tri-county_press_usa_illinois_polo_19101124_english_7&df=1&dt=7'''1913 Basket Social''', Page 7, column 4 of Tri-County Press, published in Polo, Illinois on Thursday, January 23rd, 1913, https://polopublic.advantage-preservation.com/viewer/?i=f&d=01011865-12312013&e=evergreen%20school&m=between&ord=e1&fn=tri-county_press_usa_illinois_polo_19130123_english_7&df=1&dt=7'''1915 Basket Social''', Page 7 of Tri-County Press, published in Polo, Illinois on Thursday, November 11th, 1915, https://polopublic.advantage-preservation.com/viewer/?i=f&d=01011865-12312013&e=evergreen%20school&m=between&ord=e1&fn=tri-county_press_usa_illinois_polo_19151111_english_7&df=1&dt=7 A silver medal contest was held in 1911,'''Silver Medal Contest''', Page 1, column 5 of Tri-County Press, published in Polo, Illinois on Thursday, March 23rd, 1911, https://polopublic.advantage-preservation.com/viewer/?i=f&d=01011865-12312013&e=evergreen%20school&m=between&ord=e1&fn=tri-county_press_usa_illinois_polo_19110323_english_1&df=1&dt=7 A Fall Festival was held in conjunction with the Polo Woman's Club regularly as well.

In English, its name is Buena Vista Plantation. ''Buena vista'' means "lovely view". Hacienda Buena Vista borders one of the waterfalls along the [[Wikipedia: Cañas_River_(Ponce,_Puerto_Rico)|Cañas River]] from which is said there was a"lovely view". ===Geography=== '''Hacienda Buena Vista''' originally covered 482 ''cuerdas'' (about 468 acres). Currently, it covers about 82 acres.'''Wikipedia''': [[Wikipedia:Hacienda_Buena_Vista|Hacienda Buena Vista]] The Hacienda is 160 meters above sea level on the south side of Puerto Rico with the ground rising steeply and reaching an elevation of 460 meters.Robert Sackett, Preservationist, PRSHPO (Original 1990 draft).

In National Register of Historic Places Registration Form—Hacienda Buena Vista. United States Department of the Interior. National Park Service. (Washington, D.C.) Near the hacienda is the [[Wikipedia: Cañas_River_(Ponce,_Puerto_Rico)|Cañas River]] 0.31 miles (0.5 km) south of the hacienda and a subtropical forest 7 miles (11km) in Corral Viejo, a sub-barrio in Magueyes. It is located in Barrio Magueyes about 20 minutes north of Ponce on Highway 123. *'''Address''': Km 17.3, PR-123, Ponce, Puerto Rico 00731 :'''Continent:''' Carribbean :'''Sovereign State:''' United States of America :'''Country:''' Puerto Rico :'''Metropolitan Area:''' San Juan–Caguas–Guaynabo :'''GPS Coordinates:''' 18.084444, -66.654444 :'''Elevation:''' 202.9 m or 665.8 feet ===History=== '''Hacienda Buena Vista''' was established in 1833 by [[Wikipedia:Salvador de Vives|Salvador de Vives]], a Catalan immigrant from Venezuela, that came to live in Ponce, Puerto Rico around the 1820s with his family.Baralt, Guillermo A., and Andrew Hurley. ''Buena Vista: Life and Work on a Puerto Rican Hacienda, 1833-1904''. Chapel Hill: The University of North Carolina Press, 1999. The hacienda thrived first as an '''''estancia'' (truck farm)''' and grew a diverse range of crops including coffee, grains, beans, and tubers. By 1845, plantains became the Hacienda's major source of income. A section of land was also set aside for raising cattle, oxen, and horses. {{Image|file=Hacienda_Buena_Vista_Magueyes_Ponce_One_Place_Study-4.jpg |align=l|size=m|caption=wooden water wheel}}The Hacienda then thrived as a cornmeal flour producer. A cotton gin, a corn mill, and a coffee depulping and husking mill which were run manually or with horses were purchased. Between 1845 and 1847, a new '''water-powered corn mill''' was built that used a 16-foot diameter wooden water wheel. A canal and aqueduct were constructed to bring water from the Cañas River to the water wheel and turn the mill. https://www.nps.gov/nr/travel/prvi/pr18.htm During this time, the manor house, slave barracks, warehouse, and carriage house were also built. In 1853, a '''hydraulic turbine-powered corn mill''' was constructed. Robert Bennet, an English engineer, living in Ponce at the time, ordered the hydraulic turbine on Carlos's behalf from West Point Foundry (Cold Spring, NY), and the purchase was made through Maitland and Phelps Company (NY). The turbine was designed according to the 1841 patented design by [https://patents.google.com/patent/US3153A/en|James Whitelaw and James Stirrat] (Paisley, Renfew, Scotland). The Hacienda's cornmeal flour became known islandwide for its excellent quality. '''The Coffee Plantation (1872-1898).''' The Hacienda was developed into a coffee plantation. A new coffee depulping machine and a coffee bean husking machine was built in the old corn mill and both were run with the original wooden water wheel. Although coffee had been planted years earlier, it did not become the Hacienda's main crop until the surge in demand for Puerto Rican coffee began in 1876. During this coffee boom, the Hacienda produced and processed more than 10,000 pounds of coffee per year for export to Europe. Certain events occurred after Spain ceded ownership of Puerto Rico to the United States in 1898, causing the Hacienda to come to a halt. The Hacienda sustained heavy damage during the [[Wikipedia:1899_Atlantic_hurricane_season|1899 Atlantic hurricane season]], especially from [https://www.loc.gov/rr/hispanic/1898/sanciriaco.html Hurricane San Ciriaco], which devastated the coffee crop. Then, by 1900, the coffee market began to fail as coffee prices plummeted worldwide. The Hacienda then became an orange grower for the New York Market and was able to maintain a modest production until 1958. The government of Puerto Rico then expropriated the majority of the Hacienda's lands as part of an effort to distribute land to local farmers, leaving the Hacienda with 87 acres. In 1984, the Fideicomiso de Conservación de Puerto Rico ([[Wikipedia:Conservation_Trust_of_Puerto_Rico|The Conservation Trust of Puerto Rico]]) purchased the Hacienda from the Vives family. The Hacienda was restored to its original 19th-century look and turned into a museum ([[Wikipedia:Museo_Hacienda_Buena_Vista|Museo Hacienda Buena Vista]]), which opened its doors to the public in 1987 for educational and recreational use of the public.Fideicomiso de Conservación de Puerto Rico: http://www.fideicomiso.org/fcpr/hacienda-buena-vista-eng/index.html ===Historical & Technological Significance=== The Hacienda's historical and technological significance stems from several factors: a) The Hacienda is a prime example of a well-preserved 19th-century coffee plantation. {{Image|file=Hacienda_Buena_Vista_Magueyes_Ponce_One_Place_Study-5.jpg |align=l |size=m |caption=Barker's turbine rotor }} b) The Hacienda had advanced machinery for its time. ''"The turbine,"'' a piece of hydraulic technology machinery, at the Hacienda, is ''"the only pre-Scotch type known to exist, and it is the only surviving example of"'' a Barker's turbine, ''"a pioneering and historically significant machine invented by Dr. Barker at the end of the 17th century."'' Johnson, Robert L., and Patricia O’Reilly. ''“The Barker’s Turbine at Hacienda Buena Vista.”'' IA. The Journal of the Society for Industrial Archeology 4, no. 1 (1978): 55–58. http://www.jstor.org/stable/40967957. This resulted in the following achievements: '''1977''': The Hacienda was added to the '''Historic American Engineering Record (HAER)''', which documents historic sites and structures. '''1978''': An article about the Hacienda's hydraulic technology machinery titled '“The Barker’s Turbine at Hacienda Buena Vista.” appeared in a scholarly journal published by the '''Society for Industrial Archeology'''. '''1994''': The Hacienda was added to the '''National Register of Historic Places''' (U.S. National Park Service).“NPGallery Asset Detail.” National Parks Service. U.S. Department of the Interior. Accessed February 6, 2023. https://npgallery.nps.gov/AssetDetail/NRIS/91001499.

From produce cultivation, especially plantains (1833-1845) to flour production, especially cornmeal flour (1847-1872) to coffee production (1872-1898). ===Historical Population=== Hacienda Buena Vista is located in Magueyes.

== Hindman Settlement School == In the 1880s a social reformist movement began in England and the United States, known as the settlement movement. Its goal was to alleviate poverty and encourage socialization across economic divisions. England's early efforts were concentrated in London, and when [[Addams-2|Jane Addams]] and others brought the movement to the United States, they focused on urban areas, where growing immigration and industrialization had increased socio-economic divisions. {| cellpadding="10" align="left" | {| border="3" cellpadding="4" align="left" style="background:#D4E6F1;" |-align="center" |'''Geography of Hindman, Kentucky ''' {| border="1" cellpadding="8" |- bgcolor=#E9F7EF | '''Continent:''' | North America |- bgcolor=#E9F7EF |'''Country:''' | [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:United_States United_States] |- bgcolor=#E9F7EF |'''Region:''' |[[Space:Central_Appalachia_Team|Central Appalachia]] |- bgcolor=#E9F7EF |'''State/Province:''' |[[Space:Kentucky|Kentucky]] |- bgcolor=#E9F7EF |'''County:''' |[[Space:Knott_County%2C_Kentucky|Knott]] |- bgcolor=#E9F7EF |'''City:''' |[[:Category:Hindman,_Kentucky|Hindman]] |- bgcolor=#E9F7EF |'''GPS Coordinates:''' | [https://www.google.com/maps/place/Hindman+Settlement+School/@37.334982,-82.9838847,17z/data=!4m7!3m6!1s0x8844d91906af6247:0x84f892ac7ead5757!4b1!8m2!3d37.3349778!4d-82.9794!16s%2Fm%2F03yd9ys?authuser=0 37.334982,-82.9838847] |- bgcolor=#E9F7EF |'''Area:''' |8.06 sq km or 3.11 sq mi |- bgcolor=#E9F7EF |'''Elevation:''' |340 m or 1,115 feet |} |} | |- |} Inspired by these ideas as well as the work of Susan Chester's Log Cabin Settlement in Asheville, [[Space:Buncombe_County%2C_North_Carolina|Buncombe County, North Carolina]], May Stone and Katherine Pettit saw a similar need in the communities of eastern Kentucky, where geographic isolation had severely limited the educational and economic opportunities of the residents. In 1902 the women aquired three acres at the forks of Troublesome Creek in Hindman, [[Space:Knott_County%2C_Kentucky|Knott County, Kentucky]] and established the Hindman Settlement School, the first settlement school in the United States. The school also provided a community center for the county, offering health care clinics, social clubs, a library, an extension service, and a department of fireside industries to assist in marketing local craftwork. By 1920 the school had over 100 resident students and 250 day students. The facilities had expanded from 3 to 230 acres with 14 buildings. In addition to regular classes, students were offered industrial education: agriculture, carpentry, dairying, mechanics and woodwork for boys; cooking, home nursing, laundry, sewing and weaving for girls. The Hindman Settlement School is one of the few settlement schools still in existence today. As public education became more available in remote rural areas, many closed. The Hindman Settlement School now serves to offer education and service programs; to promote cultural awareness; and to address health and food insecurity issues. * Hindman Settlement School [https://hindman.org/about/ Official Website] * Motto: Celebrating Heritage, Changing Lives * Established: 1902 * Campus size: 200 acres == People == *[[Special:Whatlinkshere/Space:Hindman Settlement School, Hindman, Kentucky One Place Study|WikiTree Profiles that link here]] === Notables and People of Interest === {{Image|file=Hindman_Settlement_School_Hindman_Kentucky_One_Place_Study-1.jpg |align=r |size=l }} The following list of names was compiled from various source materials while researching the school.

''Note: This One Place Study will focus on the last of the royal yachts, HMY Britannia that served the monarch of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II (1926-2022) and family for 43 years (1954-1997).'' HMY Britannia was ordered by King George VI (1895-1952) (the Queens father) just 2 days before he died. The shipyard of John Brown and Company in the West Dunbartonshire town of Clydebank, Glasgow was famous for not only Britannia but also other famous ship such as Queen Mary I, as well as Queen Elizabeth I and II. Britannia was commissioned on January 11, 1954 by Captain J. S. Dalglish of the Royal Navy (1861-1964). Her first (long term) Master being Vice Admiral Sir Conolly Abel Smith (1899-1985). Britannia saw 11 masters in her career. Ultimately, the royal yacht undertook 968 official voyages all over the world, hosting dignitaries including U.S. presidents, multiple prime ministers, and foreign heads of state. In 1996, PM John Major of the British Conservative party wanted a replacement for Britannia but the newly installed Labour Party of 1997 under PM Tony Blair rejected the idea due to budget cuts, and the fact that Britannia needed updating at a cost £17 million pounds.

King George VI (1895-1952), having just come through World War II made sure that Britannia was easily adaptable for use as a hospital ship if needed in any future war(s). The ships hull was painted a midnight blue which Prince Phillip required. This was the colour of his personal racing 19.2m sailboat, the ‘Bloodhound’. Britannia’s steering wheel was reclaimed from Britannia’s namesake also named Britannia which was King Edward VII’s 1893 racing yacht. A wheelhouse wheel also came from the racing yacht Britannia, owned later by King George V as well. A gold-and-white binnacle (housing the ship’s compass) was salvaged from King George III’s yacht ‘Royal Charlotte’ and installed on the Veranda deck of Britannia. === Interior === Royal yacht Britannia; https://www.royalyachtbritannia.co.ukTown and Country magazine; https://www.townandcountrymag.comArchitectural Digest; https://www.architecturaldigest.com Insider; https://www.insider.com The original interior design plans was by the Glasgow design firm McInnes, Gardner, & Partners, but the interiors were ultimately redesigned by London architect Sir Hugh Casson (1910-1999). To save money, the queen and her husband recycled furniture, linens, and paintings from the former royal yacht ‘Victoria and Albert III'. '''Admiral’s Suite''' - Located forward and just below the bridge, this was where the commanding officer slept and entertained guests. The admiral's accommodations featured a day room, bedroom, bathroom, and pantry. The sofa and armchairs in the day room are over 100 years old and came from the previous royal yacht 'Victoria and Albert III'. '''Bridge''' - The top most located room where the officers and selected crew alike steered the ship. '''Crew Quarters''' - Located forward and below decks was where the crew (not officers) slept in hammocks and in very tight quarters. '''Engine Room''' - Located amidship, this was the heart of Britannia. Every piece of equipment was well maintained and performed as expected during the ships lifetime. '''ForeDeck''' - This was a working area located on the bow deck for the deck crew, but was also used as an outdoor theater to entertain the crew and royals alike. '''Galley’s''' - There are three. One for the royals, one for the officer’s, and one for the crew. '''Honeymoon Suite''' - Surprisingly this room was located near the queen’s bedroom, and was used for the royal honeymooners when at sea. Prince Charles had a double bed brought aboard for his time with Diana. The room also served as a nursery for the young royal children before it became a honeymoon suite. '''Laundry''' - Britannia was the only ship in the Royal Navy to have a laundry service permanently on board. The washers, dryers, and steam presses worked non-stop to keep the officers and crew well clothed and looking sharp at all times. Temperatures could reach 120 degrees when all the machines were in use at once. '''NAAFI Shop''' - (Navy, Army and Air Force Institutes) was established in Britain to serve the needs of all service members, land, sea, and air. This was basically a ships store where officers and crew could buy just about anything they needed while at sea. '''Officers Anteroom''' - Used just by the officers on board for their time off-duty. It had an adjoining ward room used for officer dining only. '''Royal Bedrooms''' - The queen and the prince did not sleep in the same bedroom. They each had a separate 'suite' connected by an adjoining door. Each suite had its own bathroom. Each bedroom also had a button next to the bed to summons room service. '''Royal Garage''' - Large enough to fit the queen’s Rolls Royce and a Land Rover inside plus some more small tenders. '''Sick Bay''' - A mini-hospital at sea served the crew and officers as needed. '''Sitting Room''' - This is where the queen performed her royal duty on a daily basis when at sea. Both the queen and prince had their own sitting room. '''Sun Lounge''' - Located looking aft, this was yet another spot for the royal family to relax with a view and have a cup of tea with scones. It was the queen’s favorite room she used to take a break from her royal paperwork duties. It featured solid teak walls. '''State Dining Room''' - A grand room used for lavish meals with Heads of State. As standard protocol each place setting was measured with a ruler to ensure consistency. '''State Drawing Room Anteroom''' - A casual room used to gather the family for cocktails with guests before dinner in the dining room. '''State Drawing Room''' - A place for the royals to relax , but also served as a reception room for up to 250 guests. It featured a baby grand piano played by members of the family and even some of their famous guests, including composer Noel Coward. “The Welmar baby grand piano cost £350 when it was supplied in 1952, and was firmly bolted to the deck to stop it taking off in choppy seas. Veranda Deck - Adjacent to the royal suites are where the family enjoyed the sunshine and salt air, swam in a portable pool, or played deck hockey. As an artist, Prince Phillip also enjoyed painting here as well. === Special Features === Royal Yacht Britannia; https://www.royalyachtbritannia.co.ukTown and Country magazine; https://www.townandcountrymag.comArchitectural Digest; https://www.architecturaldigest.comBritish Heritage; https://britishheritage.comWikipedia; https://www.wikipedia.org/History Hit; https://www.historyhit.com Britannia always traveled with an escort war ship from the Royal Navy as protection. A ships elevator reserved for royal use moved between decks. This was the only one on board. Britannia had a phone system which was designed to match the unique configurations of Buckingham Palace's telephones. Each of the queen and prince’s bedrooms had an adjoining bathroom which was equipped with a thermometer so that the Royal bath water was always at the correct temperature. The crew also included a detachment of Royal Marines, who would dive underneath the ship each day while moored away from home to check for mines or other threats. The young royal children were accompanied by a 'Sea Daddy' who was tasked with keeping them entertained. === Ships Masters === Wikipedia; https://www.wikipedia.org/ The commanding officer, or ships master was likely chosen based on their experience and years of service in the Royal Navy. With the exception of the commissioning officer, the other ten ships masters (all Flag Officers) averaged 4.3 years of service in command of Britannia. '''HMY Britannia Masters''' '''Captain J. S.

Unfortunately, the 2nd Duke died shortly thereafter. When Archibald Campbell, the 3rd Duke of Argyll (1682-1761) got his title, he wanted to go ahead with the newcastle but chose architects Roger Morris (1701-1754) and William Adam (1689-1748) who drew up a conception which mixed different styles like Baroque, Palladian and Gothic Revival. It seemed that this new build was doomed as the architects of record both died during construction and again it was shelved until Henry Campbell, the 5th Duke of Argyll (1723-1806) came along and he decided to keep the Adam architectural firm which was now lead by the Adam brothers James Adam (1732-1794) and Robert Adam (1728-1792) who brought the castle to completion in 1789. So it took 43 years to build this new magnificent structure. A fire in 1877 damaged the roof and most of the upper floors, but all were rebuilt in a timely manner. The current castle sits on 60,000 acres (24,000 hectares) of land which includes a 16-acre (6.5-hectare) garden and woodland. === Family === Goggle; https://www.google.comInveraray Castle; https://www.inveraray-castle.comGeneaology On Line; genealogieonline.nlWikiTree; wikitree.comUndiscovered Scotland; https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.ukWikipedia; https://en.wikipedia.org Campbell Family motto is ‘Ne Obliviscaris' - Latin for "Do Not Forget" The following ancestral connections and peerage of the Campbells are for reference only within this One Place Study of Inveraray Castle.

One of the more popular stories was that a young Irish (boy) harpist was murdered in the state bed of the MacArthur's of Loch Awe by the soldiers of the Marquess of Montrose when they attacked in 1644. The ghost moved to haunt the current Inveraray Castle as well because the four-poster that bed now stands in the MacArthur Room. It’s said that when a member of the family is about the die, harp music can be heard coming from the room, welcoming them into the afterlife. Another manifestation is said to be a 'spectral birlinn' which is reputedly seen when one of the Campbell family is near death, seen in 1913 on the death of Archibald Campbell, as well as gatherings of ravens. === In The Movies === Inveraray Castle; https://www.inveraray-castle.comImdb; imdb.com Inveraray Castle was shown at its best is some series and specials, with magnificent shots of the castle, gardens and surroundings.

== Jingling End, Kirkby Lonsdale, Cumbria One Place Study == {{One Place Study|place=Jingling End, Kirkby Lonsdale, Cumbria|category=Jingling End, Kirkby Lonsdale, Cumbria One Place Study}} ===Introduction to Jingling End=== The house now known as Jingling End was formerly known as Prospect Cottage and was built in 1829 for a local joiner, Thomas Garnett. It is a Grade II listed building and sits at the corner of Jingling Lane and Back Lane, with entrances from both (the house is technically on Jingling Lane but often appears on Back Lane on census forms). It is a short walk down Jingling Lane from Kirkby Lonsdale's market square and enjoys views of the surrounding Cumbria hills. Throughout much of it's history Jingling End was inhabited by members of the Smith family who operated a joinery business in the joinery workshop behind the house (now a separate domestic property). The name Prospect Cottage was presumably given with reference to the fine views from the house. At some point in the 20th century it was renamed as Jingling End (date not known but the first documented use appears to be on the 1921 census). The property should not be confused with the separate property now known as Prospect Cottage which is further along Jingling Lane. A chronological history of the property is given below, with links to appropriate references. Further information about individual inhabitants of the house can be obtained by clicking the named link to go to the WikiTree profile for the individual.

Thomas Garnett (45) in Kendal registration district. Born in Westmorland, England. {{Ancestry Sharing|30063782|6431a2}} the house was occupied by joiner Thomas Garnett (for whom the house was constructed) and his wife Ellen (nee Smith). Also in the household were a young female servant and a surgeon William Batty. William's wife had died several years earlier and possibly he was living in the household as a lodger instead of running his own household as a single widower.

James Smith (61) head of household in Kendal registration district. Born in Liverpool, Lancashire, England. {{Ancestry Sharing|30063743|8cfb10}} the head of household was another joiner, James Smith. As Thomas Garnett's wife Ellen was a Smith by birth and both James and Ellen are recorded as being born in Liverpool within a few years of each other it is possible that James and Ellen were related e.g. brother and sister. If so James would have been the brother-in-law of former owner Thomas Garnett. However as the name Smith is so extremely common this may just be coincidence with no actual connection between the 2 families. In 1851 James Smith was living at Prospect Cottage with his wife Elizabeth and 4 adult and teenaged children. All 3 sons appear to be working in the family joinery business. Another adult daughter (Mary Ann) who will later appear in multiple censuses at Prospect Cottage does not appear with her family in this census as she is working at a separate address in Kirkby Lonsdale for spinster and landed proprietor Anne Cragg. The family in 1851 have 2 servants in their household and 3 solicitor's clerks are lodging in the household. One of these clerks ([[Holker-4|John Holker]]) would later have a very high profile legal and political career as a conservative MP, solicitor general and attorney general for [[Disraeli-2|Benjamin Disraeli]]. Another of the solicitor's clerks listed ([[Preston-9154|John Preston]]) married into a wealthy local landowning family (the Craggs of Arkholme) before sadly dying of epilepsy aged only 33 years old in 1862.

James Smith (71) head of household in Kendal registration district. Born in Liverpool, Lancashire, England. {{Ancestry Sharing|30063154|154bf3}} the household was still headed by James Smith and his wife Elizabeth (aka Betty). Their sons were no longer recorded living at home but daughters Ellen and Mary Ann were both part of the household. Ellen was now recorded under her married name (Bownass) and her baby son was also present N.B. the name of the baby seems to be recorded incorrectly on the census form, he is recorded as Richard but per the next census and baptism records was actually Robert. Immediately after the family members and servants on the census form are recorded 3 single/ widowed men who are all heads of single person households. These appear to be lodgers in the Smith household (although not clearly described as such on the form) and include the widowed surgeon William Batty who appeared at the house previously in 1841, now retired. Another lodger in both 1861 and 1871 was Oswald Allen, a bankers clerk who was also a writer of hymns. His collection 'Hymns of the Christian Life' was published in 1862 and may have been written at Prospect Cottage.

The house was built for Bradford banker Alfred Harris. It was designed by [[Waterhouse-336|Alfred Waterhouse]] (who also designed Manchester Town Hall and the Natural History Musem in London) and featured stained glass windows produced by William Morris and Company. The construction of the mansion would have dominated the local area and in 1869 an article in the local press Lancaster Gazette, Saturday 02 October 1869, accessed at www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk described how Jingling Lane had become "ankle deep in mud and filth" as a consequence of "the large number of heavily-laden carts frequenting the lane with stone etc for the new building at Lunefield". Lunefield is no longer standing having fallen into disrepair and been demolished in the 1950s. ====1871 census==== {{Image|file=Helen_F_photo_bank-1.jpg |align=r |size=m |caption=1867 receipt from Smith joinery business }} James Smith died in 1867 and at the time of the 1871 census '''1871 Census''': "1871 England Census"

N.B. one of Elizabeth's granddaughters is listed as Elizabeth Ellen Smith but there is no record of any girl of this name being born in the right timeframe. This is likely to be [[Smith-257971|Elizabeth Alice Smith]] but with her middle name recorded incorrectly. The 8 year old boy listed on this census (James Smith Bownass) sadly died less than a year later, a few days before his 9th birthday, of enteric fever (aka typhoid fever, a bacterial infection which was a relatively common cause of death before antibiotics were available).

Mary Smith Smith (75), widowed, Private Means, head of household at Prospect House.

This Mary Smith was the sister-in-law of Mary Ann Smith, widow of Mary Ann's brother [[Smith-257979|James]]. Mary's 5 children are living in the household, with her 3 sons working as joiners in continuation of the family tradition. Unusually none of Mary's 5 adult children had married, meaning that there would be no direct heir of this branch of the family to inherit the house in future. Also present in the household in 1911 is Mary Metcalfe (the same Elizabeth Mary Metcalfe who appeared in the household as a toddler 20 years earlier). Mary Metcalfe has initially been recorded on the census form just as 'relative' then this has been crossed through and replaced by 'grand daughter'. The correction is wrong as she was actually Mary Smith's great niece.

The remaining 3 children were the owners of Jingling End but had rented it to tenants. The Smith siblings are still living nearby at 2 Jingling Lane. As 2 Jingling Lane is the property now known as Prospect Cottage it seems likely that the Smith siblings took the name Prospect Cottage with them when they moved on, leaving Jingling End with it's new name. Living in Jingling End in 1921 was Millicent C Mathews who was the widow of the local doctor. She had moved from the local doctor's surgery to Jingling End after her husband's death and was living with her mother (also a widow). Also in the household was a servant, Nellie Hodgson, who appears to have moved with the widows to Jingling End having previously been recorded working for the family at the doctor's residence in 1911.

[[Mathews-870|Dr R G Mathews]] was the son of Millicent C Mathews, the doctor's widow seen on the 1921 census. His wife was [[Helme-100|Frances Croft Mathews (nee Helme)]] and they had married only a couple of months earlier in Lancaster. The couple may have been living at Jingling End as tenants, like Dr Mathews' mother before him. After a short period they moved to the doctor's house and surgery at nearby Green Lane. This was the surgery where Dr Mathews' father had previously been the GP. Another doctor had run the surgery for just a few years between the death of the older Dr Mathews and the younger Dr Mathews being qualified and ready to take on the practice. ====1939 register==== The 1939 register '''1939 Register''': "1939 England and Wales Register"

[[Smith-256665|Margaret Massy]] was a divorcee. The 3 rows immediately below her on the 1939 register are redacted for privacy reasons at the time of writing and are presumably 3 of Margaret's children with former husband [[Massy-164|Wing Commander Derek Fitzgerald Massy OBE]]. A girl called Dorothy Faith who is visiting the household is likely a friend or relation. Dorothy appears to have died young only 3 years later which would explain why her record on the register is not also redacted for privacy. Margaret Massy was the cousin of [[Helme-100|Frances Croft Mathews]] who was the doctor's wife living at Jingling End in 1927. Possibly Margaret may have come to live at Jingling End after her divorce on her cousin's recommendation? The 1939 register also shows that Mary and Joseph Smith who were at Jingling End in the 1911 census are still living nearby at 2 Jingling Lane. Their brother John who was living with them in 1911 & 1921 had passed away in 1937.

Following her death Jingling End was purchased by [[Metcalfe-1700|John Gibson Metcalfe]] who had been recorded at the property on the 1901 census as a 9 year old boy visiting his great aunt. At the time of the purchase he was recorded as being of Ackworth, Pontefract and a draper. The legal documents state that the house was still tenanted by [[Smith-256665|Mrs M V Massy]] at the time of the sale. John G Metcalfe only owned the property for a few years. The house then sold several times (in 1948, 1952, 1955 & 1957) with each of the purchasers also only owning Jingling End for a few years before selling it again. Some of the purchasers appear to have bought the property to live in themselves while others had tenants in the house. After 1957 the ownership appears to have reached a more stable period with the house remaining under the same ownership until the 1980s. *Owners of Jingling End 1948-1952: [[Parrington-41|John Mason Parrington (1912-1984)]] and [[Atkinson-12954|Betsy Wharton (Atkinson) Parrington (1915-2004)]] *Owners of Jingling End 1952-1954: [[Brierley-756|John Dick Brierley (1877-1953)]] and [[Gaitskell-24|Eleanor (Gaitskell) Brierley (1876-1954)]] *Owner of Jingling End 1955-1957: [[Howson-539|Emily Howson (1907-1999)]] *Owner of Jingling End 1957-1982: [[Kennard-1014|Donald Kennard (1898-1984)]] ==Research notes== I have not been able to identify the following individuals recorded at Jingling End with any degree of certainty: *15 year old servant Ann Martindale on the 1841 census. The 1841 census did not record people's exact birthplaces (just whether or not they were born in that county) and the ages are frequently wrong by a couple of years as they were often stated to the nearest 5 years. There is more than 1 individual named Ann Martindale born in Westmorland in about the right timeframe and it is not possible to say which was the Ann Martindale who is recorded as a servant in 1841. *John G W Smith, solicitor's managing clerk on the 1861 census. As the name John Smith is so very common it is difficult to research men with this name, especially in the absence of any further information such as names of parents, siblings, spouse etc. ==References== N.B.

Owned by the [https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Jégou%20du%20Laz Jégou du Laz] family since the mid-1800s, it had been already in the hands of their ancestors in the 17th century. Lost just before the French Revolution, it was brought back through [[Saisy-1|Marie Thérèse de Saisy de Kerampuil (1831-1906)]], who married [[Jégou_du_Laz-6|Adolphe René Marie Jégou du Laz (1804-1861)]]. Marie Thérèse died in 1906 in Kerloguennic, a place she had contributed to restore. A genealogist, she left a precious history of her husband's family. The current study gathers profiles of both landowners and tenants of the property, and other people known to have lived in the place, family members or servants. In this very endogamic area of central Britanny many of those are strongly connected through multiple paths. All profiles gathered in this page are so far connected to the "Single Tree". Among the noticeable (if not notable) dwellers of Kerloguennic are [[Vatant-5|Jean-Joseph Vatant (1804-1875)]], the original focus of the [[Space:100_Circles|100 Circles]] study, and his father [[Vatant-8|Maurice Vatant (1769-1838)]], tenant of Kerloguennic under the French Revolution, who tried without success to buy it when it was confiscated as "bien national" and sold in auction. == Introduction == Cette page a pour objectif de rassembler et connecter les personnes dont la vie a été liée au domaine de Kerloguennic en Paule, soit en tant que seigneurs des lieux, soit en tant qu'habitants à titres divers : métayers et fermiers exploitant les terres, leurs familles, leurs alliés et domestiques. Dans cette région très endogamique du Kreiz Breizh, les uns comme les autres sont souvent liés par une ou plusieurs relations de parenté et de cousinage, et donc pour la plupart (tous, en principe) "connectés" entre eux et au "Grand Arbre" de WikiTree par de multiples chemins. Comme l'illustre la première image choisie pour cette page, la grande majorité des profils rassemblés seront ceux des cultivateurs et de leurs familles, souvent nombreuses, qui ont travaillé ces terres ingrates de Bretagne pendant des siècles. Bien sûr les seigneurs des lieux, et en particulier la famille Jégou du Laz, toujours propriétaire aujourd'hui, ne seront pas oubliés! Les uns et les autres sont ici réunis dans un unique travail de mémoire, qu'on espère durable ... et en accord avec la devise attribuée à la famille Jégou du Laz : ''Nec opes mea felellit'' - mon oeuvre ne s'écroulera pas.Devise selon François Moal, à vérifier : d'autres sources donnent : ''Nec spes ne mea fefellit'' dont le sens m'échappe (B.V.) {{One Place Study|place=Kerloguennic, Paule, Côtes-d'Armor|category=Kerloguennic, Paule, Côtes-d'Armor One Place Study}} Les profils rassemblés dans le cadre de cette étude seront repérés par le "sticker" ci-contre, et regroupés dans la [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Kerloguennic%2C_Paule%2C_Côtes-d%27Armor_One_Place_Study catégorie correspondante].

Marie Budes avait épousé en 1629 [[Jégou-27|Gilles Jégou (1610-1676)]]. Gilles Jégou fait de Kerloguennic sa résidence principale jusqu'en 1652, date où il rachète les seigneuries de Glomel, Kergrist-Moëlou et Maël-Carhaix, et déménage pour le château de Saint-Péran en Glomel qu'il entreprend de restaurer.

Le domaine est à cette date la propriété de la famille Saisy (de Kerampuil), mais on ignore qui y réside. Aucune naissance n'y est enregistrée pendant les années qui suivent, au moins jusque dans les années 1820. Il est possible que le domaine, en mauvais état après la Révolution, n'ait pas été habité de façon permanente durant quelques années. En 1825, au mariage de leur fille [[Saisy-4|Marie Anne Marthe (1795-1868)]], [[Saisy-3|Emmanuel de Saisy]] et son épouse [[Rospiec-1|Marie Anne Marthe de Rospiec]] sont dits domiciliés à leur château de Kerloguennic. On peut imaginer qu'il y avaient du personnel. Ce n'est qu'à partir de 1841 que les habitants de Kerloguennic sont connus en détail par les recensements de la commune de Paule, disponibles en ligne aux Archives départementales des Côtes d'Armor. Le recensement de 1836 est global et ne donne pas d'indication des lieux d'habitation. Entre 1841 et 1866, la ferme est tenue par la famille de [[Berthou-21|Nicolas Berthou (1790-1848)]] et [[Le_Bras-57|Marguerite Le Bras (1795-1867)]].

It was built around 1863 and demolished in the 1940s, having lain vacant for a few years. The site was subsequently redeveloped for housing. Kin Edar (sometimes written Kin-Edar or Kinedar, and pronounced Kin-EE-dar) comes from a placename that occurs across northern Scotland. It was presuambly chosen as the name for the house by Henry Hawkins, the builder and original occupant, who came from the east coast of Scotland. The name was also given to several other, unconnected, houses around Ireland; locally, there was one, built slightly later, in Windsor Park, South Belfast. Kin Edar stood on Sydenham Avenue, in what is now East Belfast. Although this is now a built up residential area, at the time Kin Edar was built it was still fairly rural and outside the boundaries of the then town of Belfast. Kin Edar lay between the two small settlements of Strandtown and Sydenham, in the townland of Strandtown, Holywood parish, Co Down. In the Victorian period, the greater Belfast area saw rapid development due to industrialisation, and Strandtown / Sydenham was one of the areas which was transformed – in its case mostly due to its proximity to the shipyards on Belfast Lough. Much of this development involved the building of housing for the workers, but the area also attracted wealthy manufacturers and industrialists who built large houses like Kin Edar. The area around Sydenham Avenue became particularly known for these houses. The site where Kin Edar stood now consists of Norwood Avenue, Norwood Drive, and Edgcumbe Drive. Kin Edar’s namesake, Kinedar Crescent, is a short distance away.

Few records exist of the household staff, although we get two ‘snapshots’ from the 1901 and 1911 censuses. The staff who lived in the workers’ cottages in the grounds are better recorded, particularly through land records and street directories. ===Residents=== [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Kin_Edar_House%2C_Belfast_One_Place_Study Alphabetical list of profiles in this category] ====Owners and their Families==== '''The McILDOWIEs (1885 - c.1890)''' *[[McIldowie-9|George McILDOWIE]] *[[Mantell-168|Charlotte (MANTELL) McILDOWIE]] *[[McIldowie-28|George McILDOWIE junior]] *[[McIldowie-74|James Mantell McILDOWIE]] *[[McIldowie-6|William McILDOWIE]] *[[McIldowie-22|Elizabeth Bruce (McILDOWIE) TULLIS]] *[[McIldowie-21|Charlotte 'Lottie' (McILDOWIE) FINNIGAN]] *[[McIldowie-27|Catherine 'Katie' (McILDOWIE) McCREA, formerly WATSON and FERRIS]] *[[McIldowie-23|Henry Seeds McILDOWIE]] *[[McIldowie-24|Louis Mantell McILDOWIE]] *[[McIldowie-25|Robert Mantell Bruce McILDOWIE]] - died at Kin Edar *[[McIldowie-26|John Mantell McILDOWIE]] '''The PAYNEs (1923 - c.1939)''' *Charles PAYNE *[[Browne-8086|Grace Agnes (BROWNE) PAYNE]] *William ''Norman'' PAYNE *Charles ''Trevor'' PAYNE - married at Kin Edar *Grace ''Eveline'' (PAYNE) DAVISON - married at Kin Edar ====Staff==== '''Under Gardeners:''' *[[Stirling-2102|James STIRLING]] - 1880s '''Head Gardeners:''' *[[Stirling-2102|James STIRLING]] - c.1887 - c.1890 *[[Duffin-488|William John DUFFIN]] - 1890s *William Henry RICHARDSON - c.1909 - 1923 '''Coachmen and Chauffeurs:''' *[[Donnelly-4740|John DONNELLY]] - 1880s/90s - c.1922 *[[Donnelly-4742|Joseph DONNELLY]] - c.1918 - 1923 '''Grooms:''' *[[Donnelly-4742|Joseph DONNELLY]] - c.1901 ====Staff Families who lived at Kin Edar==== '''The DONNELLYs''' *[[Donnelly-4740|John DONNELLY]] *[[Martin-94675|Sarah (MARTIN) DONNELLY]] *[[Donnelly-4741|Mary Anne (DONNELLY) GILLEN]] *[[Donnelly-4742|Joseph DONNELLY]] *[[Donnelly-4743|Margaret DONNELLY]] *[[Donnelly-4744|Sarah Jane DONNELLY]] *[[Donnelly-4746|John DONNELLY junior]] *[[Donnelly-4747|Thomas Elias DONNELLY]] *[[Lamph-18|Margaret (LAMPH) DONNELLY]] *[[Donnelly-4748|John DONNELLY]] *[[Donnelly-4750|Vincent Malachy DONNELLY]] '''The RICHARDSONs''' *Mary (HOGAN) RICHARDSON - died at Kin Edar *William Henry RICHARDSON *Jessie Steel (COOK) RICHARDSON *Eileen Mary (RICHARDSON) BROSGARTH *Jessie Steel RICHARDSON *Mildred (RICHARDSON) McNAUGHT *Violet (RICHARDSON) JAMISON *Laura (RICHARDSON) GORDON - born at Kin Edar *Phyllis (RICHARDSON) NICKELL - born at Kin Edar *William Henry RICHARDSON junior - born at Kin Edar *Malcolm Louis McNAUGHT (infant) - born and died at Kin Edar ==Sources== * [https://kinedar.wordpress.com/ Kin Edar - A One Place Study]

After all, what women doesn't want to marry a rich man and live in a castle? After Mitchell Henry (1826-1910) of London married Margaret Vaughan (1829-1874), they had a honeymoon in Connemara at a hunting lodge surrounded by 14,000 acres of woodlands and bog, and sitting at the base of Druchruach Mountain (1,736ft). Mitchell, being the romantic, told his wife that he was going to build her a castle....and he did. He bought the lodge and adjacent land from a family named Blake and proceeded to construct a castle for his bride facing Pollacapall Lough and surrounded by mountains and enchanting woodland. He named it Kylemore which originates from the Irish words Coill Mór – meaning Great Wood. They lived a good lifestyle in the castle for almost 30 years and traveled the world as well, but on a trip to Cairo, Egypt, Margaret contracted an 'Nile Fever' and died. Mitchell had her body returned to Kylemore where he built a Gothic chapel in her honor as well as a small mausoleum where she was interred. When Mitchell died, he too was interred in the mausoleum, and they were together forever more. The estate was bought by a Duke in 1903 who eventually lost his fortune to gambling, then the nuns came from Belgium took refuge in England, and later in Co Wexford before the Benedictine Monastery bought Kylemore in 1920 and it became a boarding school. Kylemore was the first Irish Benedictine Abbey in Ireland. Today, the nuns produce a variety of products sold in the gift store which supports Kylemore operations. === Historical Timeline === Irish Tourism; https://www.irishtourism.comWikipedia; https://en.wikipedia.orgKylemore Abbey; https://www.kylemoreabbey.comThe Planet D; https://theplanetd.com\Five Minute History of Kylemore; https://fiveminutehistory.com '''Mitchell Henry''' '''1826''' - Mitchell Henry (1826-1910) was born in England, the last of nine siblings.

All of them are listed simply with a given name and no patronym: Joen [https://www.digitalarkivet.no/view/208/gm00000000031423], Christopher [https://www.digitalarkivet.no/view/208/gm00000000031424] and Peder [https://www.digitalarkivet.no/view/208/gm00000000031425]. In 1705, the land register [https://www.digitalarkivet.no/view/208/gm00000000061655] shows residents Joen, Christopher and Lars, again with no patronyms given. In 1711, the land register notes [https://www.digitalarkivet.no/view/208/gm00000000058076] that the residents were Gunder, Christopher and Hans, no patronyms given. Other documents from this year start showing surnames in the tax records, which lead to some record of descendancy on this farm. Tax documents from 1711 (Skoskatten, literally a shoe tax: 5 Danish shillings were taxed on each pair of shoes made. See ''Note'' below) show Gunder Haagensen [https://www.digitalarkivet.no/view/199/pt00000000109688], Christopher Joensen [https://www.digitalarkivet.no/view/199/pt00000000109689], and Hans Pedersen [https://www.digitalarkivet.no/view/199/pt00000000109690]. There was also an "extra tax" levied in 1911, showing Gunder Haagensen and Haagen Haagensen (presumably brothers) [https://www.digitalarkivet.no/view/125/gt00000000194914]. In household tax documents for 1720, there is a record of Hans Pedersen [https://www.digitalarkivet.no/view/199/pt00000000101717] (likely the son of the Peder mentioned in 1696) and, in 1721, of Gunder Haagesen [https://www.digitalarkivet.no/view/199/pt00000000101799]. Records from the "extra tax" levied in 1721 (probably to pay for the war with Sweden[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norway_during_the_Great_Northern_War]) include Gunder Haagensen [https://www.digitalarkivet.no/view/198/gt00000000026218], Hans Pedersen [https://www.digitalarkivet.no/view/198/gt00000000026219], and Christen Kristophersen [https://www.digitalarkivet.no/view/198/gt00000000026220] (likely the son of Christopher in the previous records). Almost certainly, Christen Kristophersen is [[Christophersen-779|Christen Christophersen (abt.1691-)]], which would make the earlier Christopher [[Jonsen-1599|Christopher Jonsen (abt.1653-)]]. In 1726, the land register[https://www.digitalarkivet.no/view/208/gm00000000062774] shows that the residents are Gunder Haagensen, Christen Christophersen, and Hans Pedersen. They were probably getting pretty grumpy about all the taxation, since there was also a household tax levied on Gunder Haagensen (court judge) [https://www.digitalarkivet.no/view/199/pt00000000102033] in 1727, and again in 1729 [https://www.digitalarkivet.no/view/199/pt00000000102253]. In 1734, the taxman also caught up with Hans Pedersen [https://www.digitalarkivet.no/view/199/pt00000000102624]. The 1734 land register[https://www.digitalarkivet.no/view/208/gm00000000060438] shows Christen Christophersen, Hans Pedersen and a new name, Bottel Johannesen. A decade later, the 1744 land register[https://www.digitalarkivet.no/view/208/gm00000000059204] indicates the same farmers: Christen Christophersen, Hans Pedersen and Bottel Johannesen. Another new name crops up in 1755 household tax records: Svend Rasmusen [https://www.digitalarkivet.no/view/199/pt00000000103295]. Bottolph Johannesen [https://www.digitalarkivet.no/view/199/pt00000000103305] and Christopher Christensen [https://www.digitalarkivet.no/view/199/pt00000000103306] continue to work the land. A tax census in 1755 appears to be the first time that the farm itself was separated into farming households. The first[https://www.digitalarkivet.no/view/109/gt00000000103756] shows Bottolph Johannesen as court judge, with Ole Jonsen and Jon Olsen (probably father and son, although there are no ages or birth dates listed, so it is unclear who is elder), Arve Gundersen and Halvor Pedersen. There is also a supervisor on this piece of land, Peder Gladholt, listed above Jon Stuverud and Niels Usterud. A second household[https://www.digitalarkivet.no/view/109/gt00000000103757] is headed by Christopher Christensen, court judge, with Halvor Gundersen, Gunder Christensen, and Ole Tovsen in the household We see Svend Rasmusen [https://www.digitalarkivet.no/view/198/gt00000000064021] again in 1756, with these taxes likely connected to the launch of the Seven Years' War[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Years%27_War]. Although Norway (part of Denmark) didn't enter the conflict, they nearly did twice, so it was probable that Frederick V was gathering funds. In 1799, a mill tax was levied, on Lars and Peder, no surnames given. ''Note'': Not surprisingly, there was resistance to the shoe tax and its companion servant tax in 1711, which laid a disproportionate share of the tax burden on the common people. The leader of the uprising threatened to "adorn with staves" anyone who came to his farm to collect ["Kongens tru tenarar?

He and the other German speaking emigrants in the area; [[Scheidel-112|Jacob Scheidel (abt.1837-1913)]] who came from Alsace-Lorraine, Germany, the Charles Schmittmeyer family and [[Strauch-180|David Strauch (1830-1896)]] family both from Bavaria, Germany wanted a school for their growing families. They built a wooden one room school on the northwest corner of David Strauch’s homestead about a half mile from the house. There was no plumbing and no electricity. Very few of the students could speak English because their families were all German speakers. {{Image|file=Images_for_History_of_The_Lincoln_School_District_American_Township-2.png| size=l |caption=The Original Lincoln School House on the Strauch ranch From Thompson and West's History of Sacramento County, California 1882 }} In '''1860''' the school was formalized and a school district was created out of Township. No. 12, North Range, 6 East, Mt. Diablo Meridian. It became District No. 23, known as Lincoln School District.

S acramento, California Page 6 {{Image|file=Images_for_History_of_The_Lincoln_School_District_American_Township-5.png |size=l |caption=Tax Election Notice }} This exercise was repeated in March of '''1865''' for a vote on April 1, 1865. Sacramento Bee (published as THE DAILY BEE.): Page 2 March 13, 1865 Student attendance was very sporatic as the children all had to participate in the work of the family farms. [[Scheidel-94|Albert Jacob Scheidel (1884-1959)]] had to help with the spring planting and other regular farm work. [[Strauch-186|Charles Christopher Strauch (1867-1958)]] had to churn butter before school, wash the milk pans at lunch break, and hurry home after school to help with the milking. His daughter Pearl relates: “Pa received a music box in the 5th grade there for being the best speller. He was proud of that. We kids got to turn the handle to play a tune once or twice a year when Ma cleaned the dish cupboard.” [[Johnston-7768|Thomas Johnston (1855-1904)]] was also a student who did not attend very often although his younger brothers and sisters seem to have attended more. Thomas was 18 when he was in the second grade. Eventually his own children also went to the Lincoln School when their farm work allowed. The children often had farm work from sun-up to 10 PM daily. Added to their farm work, some of the students had to walk more than 3 miles each way to school! In addition, the school terms were very short, from 6 to 8 months a year. An 1873 report says that the school year ran from August 5th to March 3rd. The teachers also had a difficult time doing their job. The 1873 report says teacher George Smith earned $60 per term. Due to lack of transportation, teachers often lived with one of the local families. The Charles Strauch family housed teachers. By '''1873''' the large Schandoney family started adding to the school population. In '''1874''' there was a kerfuffle at the schoolhouse. Apparently a fistfight broke out. Wm. E."Tule" Johnston, was charged with battery. Thomas Johnston was charged with the battery of Mr. Wallace and disturbing the peace and George Smith was charged with battery against Thomas Johnston. O. W. Wallace was convicted on a charge of battery of Tule Johnston. Justice Conger who heard the cases, delivered some appropriate remarks on the occasion, bearing upon the inopportueness of a free fight at a meeting held tor the purpose of organizing a Sunday-school. Sacramento Daily Union, April 1874 In '''1876''' the Daily Bee November 28, 1876 Sacramento Bee (published as THE BEE.) Sacramento, California Page 3 reports: "F. L. Landes, County Superintendent of common schools, has been visiting many of the country districts and reports as follows concerning a few of these: Lincoln school, situated about twelve miles from the city on the Marysville road, is thriving under the careful management of Miss Fannie Cole. The pupils are fully up to the average in their studies; the recitations are conducted in a lively animated manner and the various subjects are so simplified by the teachers as to be readily comprehended by all the pupils." The report goes on to discuss Oak Grove, Antelope, and Sylvan Schools. The school was used for community meetings and as election polling place, and for political gathering for the township. For example [[Johnston-7769|William Ekenhead Johnston (abt.1821-1898)]] , Inspector, [[Strauch-181|Victor Friedrich Strauch (1850-1914)]], Judge are mentioned. Sacramento Daily Union, Volume 83, Number 136, 28 July 1892 In '''1895''' the school was broken into and a number of books were taken, most of them being the histories of different European countries. Sacramento Daily Union, Volume 89, Number 39, 8 April 1895 In '''1896''' the schoolhouse was named the polling place for the Seventeenth Precinct: "SEVENTEENTH PRECINCT (Lincoln School House).

October 28, 1896 Sacramento Bee (published as The Bee) Sacramento, California Page 6 In '''1897''', the school house was moved to one acre of land donated by [[Strauch-181|Victor Friedrich Strauch (1850-1914)]] and [[Steinmuller-13|Emma (Steinmuller) Strauch (1854-1933)]] located on the corner of Elverta Road and Elwyn Avenue. The land was deeded to W.S. Wait and C.T Horgan, the Trustees of the Lincoln School District dated October 19, 1901 from Victor Fredrich Strauch and Emma Strauch. The document stated that if the land was not used for a school at any time, the ownership would revert to Victor Strauch. Sacramento BeeThursday, Oct 24 1901 Sacramento,CA Page 6 As reported October 24, 1901 Sacramento Bee (published as The Bee) Sacramento, California Page 6 the location was provided. "V. T. and Emma Strauch to F. Strauch, W. S. Wait, C. T.

The original Alpha School in Placer County was a two-room school house on Baseline Road between Elder Street and Pleasant Grove Road At this time the word “Joint” was added to the District’s official name because the District now included parts of two counties. In '''1903''' "There was a large and enthusiastic meting of farmers last night at the Lincoln school house, on the Marysville Road. The object of the meeting was to consider some plan whereby the farmers could co-operate with the county in the matter of securing better roads all over Sacramento County. The main desire is to improve the principal highways and make them passable in the rainy season. C. R. Christianson was elected Chairman and William Cippa Secretary of the meeting. It is desired first to improve the Marysville Road. one of the principal highways leading to Sacramento. After considerable discussion it was agreed by the farmers that they would donate enough work toward the plan to improve two miles of the Marysville Road, extending south of Dry Creek, providing the Supervisors will agree to improve and straighten out the Lower Marysville Road. Supervisor Morris Brooke, who was present at the meeting, agreed on behalf of the Supervisors that the county would do the work requested, upon the proposition made by the farmers. A Committee consisting of C. T. Horgan, Carley Wait and Willlam Basler was appointed to lock after the improvement of the Lower Marysville Road. Fred Strauch and Fred Harms were appointed Committee to look after work on the Old Marysville Road. [[Schandoney-4|Charles Louis Schandoney (1866-1915)]] was appointed to act as Superintendent of the work. February 20, 1903 Sacramento Bee (published as THE Evening BEE) Sacramento, California Page 10 In '''1909''' the Lincoln School District held an election to sell Bonds $2,400 for a new Schoolhouse May 10, 1911 Sacramento Bee (published as THE SACRAMENTO BEE) Sacramento, California Page 9 In '''1919''', the Elverta community started looking for a larger tract of land for the Lincoln School. The Sacramento Bee PAGE 10 Sacramento, California  Tuesday, October 07, 1919 The community chose from 4 designs for the school. One of the designs was shown in a newspaper article. In the early 1920’s, the new Lincoln school was built on Rio Linda Boulevard, and the old school on Elwyn Avenue and Elverta Road was used as a lodge hall for the Modern Woodsmen of America. The new school which was wood and stucco had one small classroom and one large classroom with large folding doors to make two classrooms when needed. In the larger classroom there was a stage where silent movies were screened for the community for night recreation. Desks were one piece, bolted to the floor and the school was heated by coal stoves. {{Image|file=Images_for_History_of_The_Lincoln_School_District_American_Township-4.png |size=l |caption=Third Lincoln School }} In '''1921''' this letter to the editor appeared in The Sacramento Bee: '''WATER LACKING AT SCHOOL''' To the Editor of The Bee--Sir: It seems almost inconceivable that a state of affairs could exist in our most modern Twentieth Century schools as that which reigns supreme at the Elverta School at Elverta Cal. Through my sister and her children who attend school there I learn that drinking water is not much in evidence unless the good Lord sends wind as a means of utilizing the windmill The lack of motive power for the only means of securing water has resulted in no drinking water for periods of two weeks or so. The flushing bowls in the toilets have no water making the place the most nauseating and unhealthful feature of it all. Conditions such as these require the immediate attention of the county health authorities Normal progress in education is impossible under such a shocking state of affairs. D.M. The Sacramento Bee Sacramento, California 09 Nov 1921, Wed • Page 16 The people started calling the school interchangeably Lincoln School or Elverta School, and in 1922 the residents petitioned for the Lincoln School District to be formally renamed Elverta School District. This served to differentiate the district from the City of Lincoln Schools up the Marysville Road from Elverta. Sacramento Bee Monday, Aug 21 1922 On December 2, '''1924''' the Lincoln School was closed by a diptheria outbreak for a week. While it was not deemed critical, the officials thought it wise to close the school to prevent the spread of the disease. The Sacramento Bee PAGE 22 Sacramento, California Tuesday, December 02, 1924 On '''November 23,1927''', the school burned to the ground from a fire starting in one of the coal stoves. Only a few desks, the piano and phonograph were saved from the building. Sacramento_Bee_1927-11-23 The students were to return after Thanksgiving vacation to the old one room school building and the Methodist Church for classes. About 50 children attended the school and after awhile the following situation developed: the first, second and third grades were taught in the home of [[Scheidel-94|Albert Jacob Scheidel (1884-1959)]]on Rio Linda Boulevard; the fourth and fifth grades in the home of William Boolinger on Eloise Avenue; and the sixth, seventh and eighth grades were taught in the Elverta Community Church. When the school was opened in September 1928, it was equipped with steam heat which rendered it fireproof. {{Image|file=Images_for_History_of_The_Lincoln_School_District_American_Township-1.png|size=l |caption=Rebuilt after the fire, 4th Lincoln School. This new school had 3 classrooms, an auditorium, a library, rest rooms, a kitchen and a cafeteria. }} Throughout the years, members of the Strauch and Scheidel families continued to support the school, serving as school board trustees. [[Strauch-186|Charles Christopher Strauch (1867-1958)]] and [[Scheidel-94|Albert Jacob Scheidel (1884-1959)]] were both trustees. In '''1956''', the last remnant of the Lincoln School was erased when a petition was submitted by 36 members of the Community Club of Elverta and approved, to formally change the name of the school from Lincoln School to Elverta Elementary School, Elverta School District. Sacramento Bee Wednesday, Feb 08, 1956 On November 15, 1957, three classrooms were completed; and on November 15, 1960, three classrooms, a kindergarten, administrative office, multi-purpose room and kitchen were added, giving a total of 13 classrooms. The Cornerstone Ceremony for the Elverta Elementary School was held Saturday, April 30, 1977. https://core-docs.s3.amazonaws.com/documents/asset/uploaded_file/592302/2011-2012_Elverta_Elementary_SARC.pdf ===Newspaper Reports of Attendance and Enrollment=== The following attendance information was gleaned from local newspapers.

This study is being conducted to follow the path of development for this very specific area. Meadowstone is a very old home for the area. Researching the people who lived here over time creates a better understanding of the way of life in this specific location in various times. Researching a specific home or building provides a genealogical and historical source for all who were in and around the building. This type of source shows us about the way of life and possibly even culture rather than just dates and locations that can be gleaned from vital records and tombstones. In the future I hope that studies can be worked on for many historic homes that are in close proximity to one another. This will allow for a better understanding of the community as a whole. Meadowstone is in the South and records of enslaved people are part of the history of the area. If many historic homes in the area had One Place Studies, it may be easier for the Black Heritage Project to trace when people moved around in the area and get a look at the way of life in specific times and locations. I hope you enjoy this work in progress and decide to create a page for historic buildings in your community. ===Location History=== Meadowstone started out in Virginia, by 1776 it was in Kentucky County, Virginia. In 1780 this location was in Fayette County, Virginia. Continuing division of counties put this location in Woodford County, Virginia for 4 years beginning in 1788. Finally in 1792 the County of Scott and State of Kentucky formed and remain the location name of Meadowstone. {{Image|file=Meadowstone_Georgetown_Kentucky_One_Place_Study-27.jpg |align=r |size=m |caption=Miller's Run Historic District. }} ===Name=== Meadowstone is a stone house built near Newtown, Scott County, Kentucky, United States about 1786. It is a central hall single pile plan symmetrical on both the front and back facade. Undressed logs provide floor and roof support. exterior stone chimneys, upstairs windows of six-over six pane sash, downstairs windows of nine-over-six pane sash, ash floors. A two-story stone el addition, with an additional staircase was added before 1800. A two-story Log addition was added 2017 with new basement. The log addition was formerly the Henry Hall cabin Paris Pike (South Edgewater Road), Harrison County, Kentucky, United States built 1799. This cabin was carefully dismantled and moved to its present location and rebuilt attached to the existing stone house to form what today is called Meadowstone. Meadowstone is one of 8 homes listed in the National Registry of Historic Places as the [https://history.ky.gov/markers/millers-run-historic-district Miller's Run District]. A [https://www.hmdb.org/m.asp?m=162996 historical marker] for the district was erected on rt. 460.https://www.hmdb.org/m.asp?m=162996 ==In Print== '''From: A History of Scott County, As Told By Selected Buildings''' Miller's Run Stone Houses: Between 1790 and 1800, so goes the legend, two brother build on the banks of Miller's Run houses somewhat similar of field stone. Because of the scarcity of early source material in Scott County records, on cannot be certain but can certainly presume that if the story is true, the brothers were named Whitaker and they disposed of their land near the turn of the century. It is fact that both of these houses, owned in 1980 by Mrs. Warren Nash and Mr. and Mrs. V. A. Bradley, were built on the odd shaped land grant assigned to Abraham Whitaker by Robert Johnson. Abraham was one of three brothers who surveyed and "improved" tracts in this vicinity in 1776 along with other Pennsylvanians. In 1800 Aquilla Whitaker entered a deposition during land trials in Lexington recalling that he, his brothers James and Abraham, and others had explored and improved on Miller's Run in 1775 and 1776, and that they had returned in 1780 to the forts to await the opportunity to occupy their claims. These brothers are sparsely represented in available county records. The Rev. Charles Egbert believes that one of these brothers, probably Charles, built the home located midway between the Cynthiana and Newtown roads. Later histories of these two homes are more clear than are their undefined earlier years. But it is plainly obvious that both stand on the larger Whitaker grant. The Nash house was sold as part of a 273-acre farm in 1806 to Joseph Herndon by George Shannon. John Zachariah, and Joseph Herndon owned it before 1818, when it was bought by Harvey Miller. Wyatt Webb bought it in 1830, and sold it in 1833 to Garland Webb who owned it until 1844. Since 1862 when bought by John A. Carrick from Jabez Risk, it has been owned by Mrs. Nash's family. Keystone detail and arrangement of the front door give the house a slightly more sophisticated appearance than it's neighbor. Eight-panel twin doors provide the central entrance bay with added charm. Undressed logs provide floor and roof support. Both houses have basically similar exterior stone chimneys, upstairs windows of six-over-six pane sash, downstairs windows originally of nine-over-six pane sash, ash floors, and similar staircases. The Nash house underwent some alterations during the Greek Revival period, but otherwise is basically early Kentucky in flavor. The Bradley house was acquired very early by the Keene family. The 1800 tax list include the names of Charles, Hopewell, Richard, Samuel, Samuel L., and Thomas B. Keene. Several Keene wills are among the earliest recorded here. Will Book A shows William Keene leaving to Richard Keene "property that I left him possessed of in Maryland." Also named were daughter, Mrs. John Hunter, and grandchildren, Margaret and Greenup. The will of Samuel L. Keene was probated in 1807 with his widow Hillary getting most of the estate. His sons were listed as Greenup, Richard L., and Benjamin. Thomas Keene's heirs include his widow Mary and sons Vachel, Richard, and Marcellus. Richard H. Keene's will, probated in 1822, named sons John, Richard and Benedict C. During the 1830s John H Keene purchased the interest of several Keene heirs, including Richard and Benedict, in a two-hundred acre farm on Miller's Run. Then he deeded in 1844 to Charles Herndon, who sold it to Jabez Risk, ad he in turn to Andrew Wilson. Walter Tisdale acquired the farm in 1864.Bevins, Ann Bolten.

Although the exact date of construction ins unknown, an examination of early Harrison County land purchases indicates it probably dates to between 1795 and 1806. According to information gathered by the farm owner, Angie Riddle Walker, Henry Hall purchased thirty acres from Thomas Hinkson in 1797 (DB 1 p.234), 52 1/2 acres from James Harrison in 1796, 200 acres from John Hinkson in 1788 and 100 acres from William Cown in 1806. The Hinkson family aquired the first deeds in the area, alongside William Woods, whose land was part of the Harrison sale to Henry Hall. It is believed by the present farm owners that Henry Hall built the log home, which was later part of the farm of his son, Daniel Hall. In 2016, the family sold the log home to Jeffrey Gillispie, who hired a crew experienced in dismantling and rebuilding log buildings, and had it rebuilt as a wing on his existing 18th c. stone home on the Oxford-Newtown Pike in Scott County.

It was at that time the Log Home was moved from Harrison County to become part of Meadowstone. It was necessary to have an addition to the build for plumbing. The stone walls are 42" thick at the bottom of the basement and are dry stacked up to the eaves of the attic. The thick walls do not lend to running modern electric, heating and plumbing. The original house looked exactly the same in the front and the back. We don't actually know what they considered the front. It was 2 rooms over 2 rooms with a central hall. A few years later they built an additional 2 rooms that you can see to the left of the photo. These rooms were offset from the original building to allow one of the back windows in the attached room to remain. The addition had an additional staircase. the upstairs room could be locked from the bottom of the stairs as a travelers room. {{Image|file=Meadowstone_Scott_Kentucky_One_Place_Study-9.jpg |caption=Hall Log Home becomes part of Meadowstone. }} {{Image|file=Meadowstone_Scott_Kentucky_One_Place_Study-7.jpg |align=r |size=m |caption=Hall Log Home just before being dismantled. }} When the Log home was attached to Meadowstone it became the Kitchen, 3 bathrooms, laundry and office. To run Heating and Electric the floor had to be changed on the second floor. Originally it was just board width. Now there are two layers of boards with space between for modern amenities. The original first floor, floorboards of the log home, became the celling of the first floor in the rebuilt log home. The log home had two chimneys that were moved. Only one chimney was rebuilt, and it was widened in places to house the stove and oven in the kitchen. The other chimney was not rebuilt because the logs on that side are directly against the stone portion of the house.   {{Image|file=Meadowstone_Georgetown_Kentucky_One_Place_Study-3.jpg |caption=Meadowstone Front showing early stone addition, Sep 2022 }} === Project Stickers and Categories === Copy and paste the following to add a Meadowstone as a sticker and category or only category to a profile. *[[Category:Meadowstone, Scott, Kentucky One Place Study]] {|cellpadding=10 |'''OPS Sticker''' |- |{{One Place Study|place=Meadowstone, Scott, Kentucky|category=Meadowstone, Scott, Kentucky One Place Study}} |{{One Place Study|place=Meadowstone, Scott, Kentucky|category=Meadowstone, Scott, Kentucky One Place Study}}

Known as “the West Point of the West,” NMMI is a globally recognized high school and junior college for young men and women. NMMI operates under the auspices of the State of New Mexico, under a dedicated Board of Regents that reports to the Governor of New Mexico. Located in downtown Roswell, NMMI enrolls nearly 1,000 cadets at the junior college and high school levels each year. It is the only state-supported military college located in the western United States.[https://www.nmmi.edu/ "New Mexico Military Institute"], official website, NMMI, accessed 31 July 2023. {{Image|file=New_Mexico_Military_Institute.jpg |align=r |size=m |caption=NMMI Color Guard. }} Academic school years at NMMI usually begin with nearly 1,000 cadets enrolled, with slight attrition occurring during the school year due to demanding academic and physical requirements. NMMI’s Junior College program has been accredited by the [https://www.hlcommission.org/component/directory/?Itemid=&Action=ShowBasic&instid=1503 Higher Learning Commission] to offer Associates Degrees in Arts and Science. The high school program is accredited by the New Mexico Public Education Department and [https://home.cognia.org/registry Cognia]. The school's two-year Army ROTC Early Commissioning Program (ECP) commissions approximately 30 cadets annually as U.S. Army second lieutenants, and almost 100 cadets each year go to one of the five United States Service academies.Wikipedia contributors, "New Mexico Military Institute," Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia, [[Wikipedia:New Mexico Military Institute]] (accessed August 2, 2023). Thousands of former cadets have served in the United States Military. NMMI has many notable alumni who have served at senior levels in the private and public sectors. NMMI's motto is "Duty, Honor, and Achievement". The Cadet Honor Code, which was unanimously voted into place by the Corps of Cadets in 1921, states, "A Cadet Will Not Lie, Cheat, or Steal, Nor Tolerate Those Who Do". It is administered by an honor board of cadets, advised by cadre and staff. The school's men's and women's athletic teams are the Broncos, who compete in the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA), and the Colts (high school), completing in the NMAA (New Mexico Activities Association). NMMI colors are scarlet and black. *{{Wikidata|Q7010214|enwiki}} *[[Special:Whatlinkshere/Space:New Mexico Military Institute, Roswell, New Mexico One Place Study|WikiTree Profiles that link here]] ====In Memoriam==== "They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn;

It was recorded in the Domesday book. The area has a long agricultural tradition (particularly dairy) and the village has a centuries old butter market building near the centre. Audlem (in Cheshire) is also very close to Shropshire and Staffordshire. Hence the main streets are named Cheshire, Shropshire and Stafford Street. The Old Bakery is just across Stafford Street from [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audlem St James Church]. The [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:St_James_Church%2C_Audlem%2C_Cheshire_One_Place_Study St James Church] was built mainly in the 13th century on a hillock that is the highest point of the village. It is likely that this was the site of an earlier church or religious building. The church suffered minor damage in an earthquake in 1777. The architecture and records suggest the core of the current 'Old Bakery' was built in the mid 1600's. This was at around the same time as the nearby [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q17964974 Audlem Grammar School] was built (completed c. 1655) https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101312614-the-old-grammar-school-audlem (accessed 10 Aug 2023).

The proximity of the Old Bakery to the church has led to unsubstantiated speculation regarding possible priest holes and secret passages in the foundations. There are plausible explanations that the timbers used in the construction of the Old Bakery were from old ships.

Although this may be a slight digression from the main focus of the study, it provides a rare insight into the past lives of local people. It is notable that almost every smallholding included a buttery for cheese making, etc. "The inventories of seven yeoman homes which gave particularly detailed descriptions of the possessions inside and out of the house were studied. The years covered are a narrow range from 1665 to 1724 and the people concerned and estate values are :Ralph Hansall of Audlem 1665 £62 :Hugh Bolton 1 of Hankelow £69 (£281) :John Cramall of Bureton 1675 £39 :Richard Clough of Audlem 1677 £31 :Richard Pickstock of Buerton 1680 :Robert Bickerton Hankelow 1680 £134 :Richard Bickerton of Newall 1724 £65" :"The animals are listed first and are the most valuable possessions - :Cows were valued at £2-£3 and each man had some :from £10 10s for 3 cows & 3 calves to :Robert Bickertons 27 cows, 4 heifers, 2 bulls worth £54 :They all owned a horse be it a bay nag, mare or colt :two owned sheep but only three a piece worth £7 6s & £9 6s :Four kept pigs but only Robert Bickerton had more than three with his sow an 10 piggs and 4 rearlings. :All but four keep some poultry and Ralph Hansall had some stalls of bees worth 10s. :So the main animal kept was the cow and four of them had cheeses in the house so we get a clear picture of dairy farming prominent with mixed farming to support the family." "Each man has corn in the barns or on the ground but no quantities are mentioned. Only Hugh Bolton has other cereals which were 3 bushels of oats and 6 bushels of other cereals. Hugh Bolton's house in Hankelow was probably the house belonging to Ralph Bolton when they were assessed for hearth tax for 5 chimneys. Ralph was a gentleman and a trustee of the charities. Five rooms are listed - :the best chamber contained one counterpain, four curtains, two pillows, four stools, 2 small tables and one old chest, six pairs of course sheets and two dozen of old course napkins were stored there. :the little parlour contains one little table and five chairs. This room that is clearly not used for sleeping shows it to be a spacious residence. :the great parlour contains the feather bed with 3 cushions, 3 chairs and one old trunk :the low buttery has four barrells and some coopery ware and was probably used for brewing etc. :the low parlour has a second & third feather bed, curtains, an old cording (for support of the mattress), a bolster, two old chests, two stools and an old bedstead. The linen includes 12 pairs of sheets, four tableclothes, four pillowbeares (cases) one dozen flaxen napkins and eleven hemp napkins." "Hugh Bolton owned 16 pewter dishes, 2 flaggons, 3 candlesticks, 2 tankards, 4 saucers, 2 pomingers, 2 salt cellars, 5 brass pots, 3 brass kettles, one brass pan and dish, a skimmer, a pestle and mortar and a warming pan. He had a sword, silver tankard, one tumbler and thirteen spoons, the last 3 items valued at £5. The debts due to the deceased are four times the value of his goods." "Richard Bickerton of Newall died fifty years later, eight rooms are listed - the 'house', the buttery, the parlour, the kitchen, the salting house, kitchen chamber, best chamber and cheese chamber. There were beds in the buttery, parlour, kitchen chamber and the best chamber. His more interesting possessions include wall hangings, a looking glass, an oval table, scales. Equipment for cheese making was 5 cheese vats, 1 churn, 1 chesses tub, 3 pales, 1 cheese press, For cooking a salt chest, a spit, an iron dripping pan, a tin dripping pan, a hack knife and a flesh fork, 3 brass kettles, a spoon and a saucepan, an iron pot, a kettle,a furnace pan." "Ralph Hassall owned a clock worth 1 guinea, a smoothing iron and a griddle stove." "Richard Clough may have lived in a one hearth house but he had a horn tipt with silver, a case of pistols, a bible and other little books The following is a 'true and perfect inventory' of all the goods cattle and Chattels of Richard Clough late of Audlem in the County of Chester deceased .. the ninth day of December in the Twenty Eighth year of the reign of our sovereign Lord Charles the second by the grace of god of England Scotland France and Ireland King defender of the Faith by William Huett and Richard Alcott - :One cow £3 :Two cows and three calves £7-10-0 :one mare £2 :one swine £1 :geese and hens 4s :three sheep 9s :corn un-thrashed £4-14-0 :corn growing in the ground 9s :three hundred weight of cheese £2-5-0 :beds and bedding £2 :four coffers and one trunk 9s :one table and one form 5s :one marl cart a wheelbarrow a plough and farrow 11s 6d :A trine of Folies and four Axle trees 7s :One grate a pair of potworks fire shovel pot hooks and other small things 4s :two iron pots one kettle and warming pan 4s :five pewter dishes one quart and one candlestick 7s :pack saddle with other saddles bridles chains and all things other belonging to horses 15s :one case of pistols 4s :one axe with other tools 1s :one cheese press a wheel and a dish board 3s :all fuel about the house 5s :one bible with other little books 4s :one horse tipt with silver 10s :all the deceased wearing apparel 11s" "Richard Pickstock has a 'yellow' chamber indicating the use of paint on walls, ladders, books worth 13/6d, wool, hemp and flux 'dressed' and a winnow sheet." "Robert Bickerton owned 2 spinning wheels and so did Richard forty years later so possibly they were the same ones still in the family." "There is much to be learnt from the study of these inventories and tracking down the old meanings of the old expressions and equipment, for example - : 'A trine of felles and four axletrees' a trine was twenty five, the felle is the curved part for the circumference of the wheel and the axle tree is the bar joining the two wheels. :'broach, colberts, landiron' The broaches were pits with a handle to turn the meat, the colberts were supports for the spits and the landirons were similar." ==== Audlem Post Office History ==== {{Image|file=Old_Bakery_Audlem_Cheshire_One_Place_Study-5.jpg |caption=old Audlem Post Offices (top left and right) }} There is a drawing of the Audlem Post Office but this is more likely to be a depiction of the more recent Post Office which was very close to the old one but on the opposite side of the junction of School Lane and Stafford Street https://drawingthestreet.com/tag/old-post-office-audlem/ (accessed 13 Aug 2023).

Hamon Massy, the first baron of Dunham-Massy, held the towns of Dunham, Bowdon, Hale, Ashley, and half of Owlarton, in Bucklow Hundred, under Hugh Lupus earl of Chester, in the reign of William the Conqueror; all which one Elward held formerly, as appears by Doomsday Book: so as it seems to me, that this Elward was dispossessed of his right therein, and these lands given to Hamon by earl Hugh.

The main construction was overseen by [[Burlison-130|John Burlison Sr (abt.1810-1868)]] with the assistance of his son-in-law [[Bell-30860|Alfred Bell (1832-1895)]], from renowned stained glass window makers Clayton & Bell. The houses were intended for themselves and their families, and originally had an internal door between the two. There was also another building, Conduit Lodge, which was later demolished. The buildings were constructed near to Conduit Fields, meadows with a source of drinking water called Shepherd's Well. Fitzjohn's Avenue was built over the source in 1875, with the site of the well being marked by a drinking fountain and plaque. '''Stained glass artists biography''': Citing: Archive.org Family History 1976-11 Vol 9 Issue 36 Pages 16 to 55: "Some 19th Century stained glass artists and their families, by Francis Skeat."; [https://archive.org/details/sim_family-history_1976-11_9_36/page/36/mode/1up Article page 36] Accessed 9 January 2022; '''UndergroundMap.com''': Citing: [https://www.theundergroundmap.com/wp/conduit-fields/ Conduit Fields, TheUndergroundMap.com] Accessed 9 January 2022; Burlison Sr. died in 1868 and Bell's family took over the whole building naming it Bayford House, after the village he lived in as a child in Dorset. The interior was renovated to a wildly ornamented gothic style, by Bell and [[Buckeridge-110|Charles Buckeridge (1833-1873)]], who was married to his sister-in-law [[Burlison-197|Ann (Burlison) Buckeridge (bef.1834-1919)]]. A detailed account of the interior of Bayford House was written by Bell's grandson, who knew it intimately.

"Upon entering the front door the outer wall presented the appearance of a mediaeval castle. The floor was laid with white marble and panels of tiles of mediaeval design. The walls were of rough yellow brickwork with a centre column from which sprang the groined roof. The principal staircase was of yellow brickwork with wooden Gothic ballustres. {{Image|file=Old_Conduit_House.jpg |caption=Entrance Hall Bayford House }} Through a colonnade of pointed arches one approached the Music Room, where, every Saturday evening, a large concourse of guests assembled to perform some religious oratorio, sometimes stages with full dress and scenery, such as Elijah, also secular works headed by Gilbert and Sullivan operettas and others. Upon these occasions eminent personalities would appear, such as Sir [[Sullivan-7415|Arthur Sullivan]] himself, Sir [[Barnby-12|Joseph Barnby]], Edward Lloyd and on one occasion the Abbé Liszt came and played on the Steinway grand piano, the first [[Grossmith-4|George Grossmith]], Charles Santley, Sir [[Scott-44416|George Gilbert Scott]] and Antoinette Stirling. This room was fitted with a stage beyond an arched proscenium and with a trap door above for scenic effects. At the rear of the stage were marble columns surmounted by floriated capitals and supporting full-size statues of Saint George, in full panoply of gilded armour, complete with dragon, whilst on other columns stood Saint Cecilia, King David and others, all with gilded decorated canopies over them. From the capitals of two of the columns sprang a pointed arch leading to a second staircase through which could be seen lancet windows filled with stained glass depicting saintly subjects. {{Image|file=Old_Conduit_House-2.jpg |caption=Music Room }} From thence led a stone spiral staircase up to a tower suggestive of Saint Barbara, whose father Dioscorus, enraged at his daughter adopting the Christian faith, shut her up in a high tower - or perhaps the lady named Rapunzel, whose lover came to the tower at the top of which she was imprisoned and implored her to let down her hair so that he might climb up to her. "Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down thy hair: after which we do not know what happened. Also upstairs was a large room designated 'The Picture Gallery', the walls of which were covered with water colours, mostly by Alfred Bell - an adjunct typical of Victorian houses.

Adjacent to the Music Room was the Dining Room designed on the lines of a mediaeval Banqueting Hall to which reference has been made in Chapter V. Upon entering and before arriving at the main room one had to proceed through the carved and decorated screen running transversely across, in true mediaeval style, with in place of a Minstrel's Galeery above, a niche containing a life-sized figure of Saint John the Divine looking over the screens as if blessing the feast. The room being for the then modern requirements had its chimneyiece of stone, set at the end as being a more convenient place than on the side-flank; it was in the place where the dais would have been had the room been true to type, though a bay window was set at the side as in a mediaeval hall. The chimney-piece was surrounded by linen-fold panels, above which was fixed a copy, by a member of the family, of Fra Fillippo Lippi's picture, 'Saint John the Baptist with six other Saints'. Two of the windows were filled with stained glass - this time the four Evangelists, Saints Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The walls were lined with decorated wood panelling into which were set a series of small panels depicting the life of Our Lord. {{Image|file=Old_Conduit_House-1.jpg |caption=Dining Room, Bayford House }}

Every Saturday evening the board groaned with sumptuous and lavish fare such as might have graced the tables of the Tudors or Plantagenets. The feast ended, grace was sung in Latin, 'Non Nobis Domine'; after which all repaired to the Music Room to take part in, or listen to, the aforesaid music and acting.

At the top of the house was situated a Chapel, designated the Prayer Room, a small apartment with an apsidal end who's walls and ceiling were decorated after the manner of the thirteenth century, and pierced with lancet windows filled with stained glass. Here the family, including the servants, would assemble for prayers every morning, summoned by the master, whose beard was of the true square Victorian type, by means of a bell attached to a rope. On one occasion the Pomeranian and the pug came in and walked round, but this was an unusual occurrence. The inevitable Nannie was naturally much in evidence and it was the custom of this particular Nannie, after prayers, to dose the family with brimstone and treacle out of a basin, much to the discomfiture of those participating. Downstairs was a laundry which served as a useful adjunct to this very family affair."

However information from a living grandchild records 3 people that have passed away and can therefore be named.Personal recollection of a living grandchildren of Ernest Goodwin, as related by email to [[Burlinson-44|Burlinson-44]] on 5 Feb 2024. Notes in possession of [[Burlinson-44|Burlinson-44]]. (If you know the identities of the other people or if the 1939 Record is updated, please update the above information.) Ernest and Louise had 2 further children, both of whom are still living at time of writing. Author [[Goodwin-14405|Ernest Goodwin]] had purchased Bayford House in about 1932. By 1934 he had renamed it as Old Conduit House.'''Book''': Camden History Society. Street History Group - More Streets of Hampstead: An Historical Survey of Streets, Houses and Residents in the Southern Sector of the Old Borough. United Kingdom: High Hill Press, 1973. Page 32 Author and novelist Fay Weldon was a frequent visitor to the house, describing it as her second home. She wrote about the house in her 2002 memoir ''Auto Da Fey'''''Book''': Weldon, Fay. Auto Da Fay: A Memoir. United States: Grove Atlantic, 2007. Page 175, and also in her 1995 novel ''Splitting'''''Book''': Weldon, Fay. Splitting. United Kingdom: Flamingo, 2008.. She met Ernest Goodwin's daughter Flora on her first day at South Hampstead School for Girls, and it turned out that Flora's mother Louise was a friend of her own grandmother. Louise was an unmarried mother of 9 children with Ernest Goodwin, and was living at the house, apparently, "next door to the house in which he kept his wife and legitimate brood." The 1939 Register shows the couple as "married". A conversation with a living grandchild of Ernest Goodwin confirms that they were in fact unmarried, but Louise changed her surname to Goodwin when setting up home with Ernest in about the mid 1920's. They certainly lived as though they were a married couple. It also seems that Fay Weldon's book was embellished somewhat. Ernest's first wife and children were not literally living next door, but elsewhere in the Hampstead area. The register also shows a further 12 people living at Old Conduit House. (9 currently listed and 3 closed records. These were all Jewish refugees. By 1944, Ernest Goodwin had passed away and the house became Louise's. In her capacity as a property manageress she had purchased many houses in Hampstead and converted them to flats, in order to house many more refugees. At the beginning only a minimal rent was charged, but it took some decades for the purchases to accumulate more substantial gains. During the 1960's according to another living grandchild, "the family lived in the basement and ground floor, and the upper floors were entirely inhabited by tenants who lived in single furnished rooms, and shared bathrooms and kitchens. That was not an unusual arrangement in London during and after the war." Old Conduit House was Grade II listed on 30 September 1983.'''Grade II listing''': Old Conduit House at Historic England website: [https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1379406?section=official-listing Listed Status]Accessed 9 January 2022; Louise lived at the house until her death in 1995, and the family sold the place around the turn of the millenium. Substantial renovations took place to modernise it, however during these renovations in 2004 the building was burgled. Stained glass windows, a unique fireplace with a handwritten inscription, and other fitments were taken.BBC News website article, "Listed building's windows stolen"; 28 May 2004, Accessed 6 Feb 2024. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/3758313.stm More recent estate agent's details describe stained glass windows in the house, but it is not clear if these were new or the stolen ones were recovered.

But this OPS will focus on the Old Library at the ancient school of learning. The old library building exterior is a beautiful piece of work in itself, but it's what's inside that will amaze you, it's something you have never seen in a library as we know it, where one used to do their homework after school. Today, the library not only stores books but also journals, newspapers, magazines, sound and music recordings, databases, maps, prints and manuscripts, a total of approximately 7,000,000 volumes. === Building Exterior=== Dictionary of Irish Architects; https://www.dia.ie/architectsTrinity College Dublin; https://www.tcd.ie/library/old-library/Wikipedia; https://en.wikipedia.org The building originally was a one level structure which took 20 years to build (1712 and 1732), and was designed by Irish architect Thomas Burgh (1670-1730). Construction material is limestone and gray sandstone from the Darly Quarries in Scrabo, County Down. The building itself is of the Georgian architecture style. The windows on the original level feature both vertical and horizontal mullions with 3 lights of glass on the bottom that integrate with a rounded top with 3 lights of glass as well. These windows are currently blacked out due to the exhibits inside the gallery. The second and third levels were added in1860 by architects Thomas Deane (1792-1871) & Benjamin Woodward (1815-1861) of Deane & Woodward of Cork, Ireland. The windows on the upper two levels are 9 over 9 true divided light which allows for natural light to be displayed inside the 'Long Room'. === Building Interior === Trinity College Dublin; https://www.tcd.ie/library/old-library/Wikipedia; https://en.wikipedia.orgArran Q. Henderson Website; https://arranqhenderson.comGo To Ireland; https://www.go-to-ireland.comLonely Planet; https://www.lonelyplanet.comHistory Ireland; https://www.historyireland.com/brian-boru-harp/ The original library was only 1 level and featured a flat horizontal ceiling and single level vertical book stacks. In 1801, the library became a copy right library (aka 'Legal Deposit') whereas it was granted the right to a copy of every book published in Ireland and all of Britain as well. The Old Library at Trinity is the only library with this designation in all of the United Kingdom. Because of this honor, It became apparent by 1850 that more space was needed to keep this endeavor going. Today, published works also include books, sound, music, recording, and database electronic versions as well as regular books. In 1860, a reconstruction was started which would add the second and third levels to the building (aka 'The Long Room') which would include a barrelled ceiling. The first level is now referred to as 'The Gallery'. The two level vertical book stacks are separated by a floor and are spaced equally between the second and third level windows to provide natural light into the gallery. There is a spiral staircase used for access to the third level, but this is used only for authorized library personnel. '''1st Level''' (aka 'The Gallery') Rich dark oak wood is used throughout the gallery which enhances the luxurious feel of the environment. This level contains very old manuscripts which relate to the four Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. '''The Book of Kells''' c.850 AD In 1661, Dr. Henry Jones (1605-1681) Bishop of Meath, presented the college with the Book of Kells, a 9th-century medieval Gospel calf vellum (calfskin parchment) manuscript calligraphed and illuminated by the monks at St Colmcille's Monastery on Iona, Scotland which is featured in the 'Turning Darkness into Light' exhibit in the first level gallery. A side note is that the manuscript was stolen in 1007, then rediscovered three months later buried underground. The next stop on this level is an one volume of the Book of Kells on display. Only one volume is displayed at any one time to preserve and safeguard all the works from damage or theft. The 680-page (340-folio) book was rebound in four calfskin volumes in 1953. '''The Book of Durrow''' c.650 AD-700 AD Given to the college between 1661-1663, These works are an early extant Insular script manuscript which takes its name from Durrow Abbey in County Offaly, Ireland which was founded by Colum Cille (St Columba) (521 AD-597 AD). It contains text from the four Gospels and written in an Irish adaption of Vulgate Latin. The true author is unknown. This works was also presented to the college by Dr. Henry Jones (1605-1681) Bishop of Meath. '''The Garland of Howth''' (aka Codex Usserianus Secundus), designated by r2 or 28 (in the Beuron system) c.9th-10 Century Originally, These works were of the four Gospels, but time has taken it's toll and only the Matthew and Mark have survived. The rarely studied manuscript was found on 'Ireland’s Eye', an island north of Howth, and later brought to the village of Howth on the mainland. '''Other Ancient Works''' '''Veterum Epistolarum Hibernicarum Sylloge (Ecclesiastical history) (1632) and Brittanicarum Ecclesiarum Antiquitates (The History of the Irish Church) (1639)''' It was the Archbishop of Armagh, James Ussher (1625–1656) who left his works to Trinity College which comprises of several thousand printed books and manuscripts. His complete works were published by the Library in twenty-four volumes. '''2nd and 3rd Levels''' (aka 'The Long Room') Upstairs from level one is the main chamber of Trinity old library (aka 'The Long Room' ). This is not your typical library, it's a place of wonderment and it's likely that every visitor that has ever walked into it has been awed by it's shear massive volume and architectural beauty. At 65 meters (213.25 feet) in length it's considered as the most beautiful and impressive library in the world. '''200,000 of the oldest books''' The libraries oldest and most valuable books are housed in the 'Long Room'. '''The 1916 Proclamation of the Irish Republic''' (aka The Easter Proclamation of 1916) As a result of the 1916 Easter rising of Ireland, this proclamation basically gives notice that the New Republic of Ireland is now a 'Sovereign Independent State', and officially is thereby split from the United Kingdom. It also goes on to declare that every citizen is guaranteed religious and civil liberty, equal rights and equal opportunity. This proclamation was read outside the General Post Office on 24 April 1916 by Nationalist Patrick Henry Pearse (1879-1916) at the start of the Easter Rising. Pearse died just three weeks later at the age of 36. '''Marble Busts''' Beginning in 1743, Flemish sculptor Peter Scheemakers (1691-1781) was asked to make 14 busts of philosophers and writers of great renown, as well as the 'who's who' of Trinity College. Busts also represent the arts and sciences as well. Other sculptors followed throughout the centuries to provide a great array of famous people. Many great men like Shakespeare, Plato, Aristotle and Socrates, and many more of the 40 plus busts line the floor within the room. It took 268 years to finally get some women represented here as well like Rosalind Franklin the scientist, folklorist dramatist and theatre-founder Augusta Gregory, mathematician Ada Lovelace and the pioneering women’s rights advocate Mary Wollstonecraft. These were installed on an appropriate day of St Brigid’s Day (Ireland's' only female patron saint) in 2023. '''Brian Boru Harp''' c.15th century The oldest known harp in Ireland is on display in the long room as well was presented to Trinity College in 1782 by Right Hon. William Burton Conyngham (born William Burton) (1733-1796) of Slane Castle . It has 29 strings and is made from willow and oak woods. Since 1922 it became the official symbol of Ireland and used on Irish coinage as well. Its size measures in at 85 cm (33½ inches) with maximum width of 32 cm (12½ inches). Legend has it that it is said to be connected to Irish King Brian Boru (941-1014) who was known to be a harp player, but since the harp is authenticated from the 15th century, the connection is likely not true. ===Notable Alumni=== Dictionary of Irish Architects; https://www.dia.ie/architectsWikipedia; https://en.wikipedia.orgGoggle; https://www.google.comWikipedia; https://en.wikipedia.orgWikitree; https://www.wikitree.comFamily Search; https://www.familysearch.org/The Nobel Prize; As one might imagine, the list of notables from Trinity College is very long and covers many fields. The following is only a sample selection. While some attended Trinity before the Old Library was built, the latter of them likely walked the 'Long Room' at Trinity College during their years there.

'''Great Gallery''' Used by Bonnie Prince Charlie as an Audience Chamber during the day, and transformed in the evening for extravagant balls and receptions lit by hundreds of glowing candles and alive with the sound of music, laughter and dancing. '''Great Stair''' Multi-level staircase which features fine Belgian tapestries from the 1500's and a small collection of Highland broadswords '''Kings Bedchamber''' Likely the grandest room of Holyroodhouse, it features a red four-poster bed and an ornate fireplace. A painting of 'The Infant Hercules Strangling Serpents' is by Jacob de Wet II. '''Mary Queen of Scots' Chambers''' Contain three room which Mary used during her six year stay at Holyrood (1561-1567). ''The Bedchamber'' is known for its original decorative oak ceiling, painted frieze and incredibly low doorway. While people were much smaller in the 1500s when this tower was built, Mary grew to be six feet tall. ''The Supper Room'' Just off the bedchamber is the tiny Supper Room where Mary was dining on 9 March 1566 when she witnessed the murder of her private secretary, David Rizzio who was killed by her jealous husband, Lord Darnley, and a group of powerful Scottish lords. Rizzio was stabbed 56 times. It is claimed that the bloodstains from Rizzio's body are still visible in the Outer Chamber where he was left for all to see. ''The Outer Chamber'' was where Mary received visitors. The devout Roman Catholic Queen enjoyed many a debate with John Knox (c.1514-1572), the headstrong Scottish Protestant cleric. The oak-panelled Oratory is where she said her prayers, the original ceiling is decorated with the cross of St Andrew (Patron Saint of Scotland) encircled by a royal crown. Also on display is the spectacular Lord Darnley Jewel, one of the finest treasures in the Royal Collection. '''Morning Drawing Room''' This room features wall-to-wall French tapestries. '''Privy Chamber''' This room was created for Charles II (1630-1685) in the late 1600's, and was used for private audiences with the First Minister of Scotland and visiting dignitaries. A large round painting 'Bathing by the River' by Jacob Jacob de Wet II (1641/2 -1697) hangs over the fireplace. '''Royal Dining Room''' This is where the Royal Family ate when they stayed at Holyroodhouse. The silver banqueting service set on display was presented to King George V and Queen Mary to mark their Silver Jubilee in 1935. Commissioned specifically for use at Holyroodhouse, the service was Scottish made in Edinburgh and based on Scottish examples from the early 17th-century. In honour of the Scottish people, George IV had a complete Highland dress outfit especially made for his visit to Holyroodhouse in 1822, which he wore to a grand reception in the Throne Room for 1,200 gentlemen. You can see a portrait of the king in his kilt by Sir David Wilkie’s (1785-1841) on display here. '''Throne Room''' During Holyrood Week the reigning monarch hosts lunch here for the Knights and Ladies of the Order of the Thistle, the highest order of chivalry in Scotland. With its regal red carpet and ornate ceiling, this room is used for receptions and other State occasions. The centrepiece of the room is the pair of thrones at one end of the room, commissioned by King George V in 1911. His ancestor, George IV visited Scotland in 1822, the first reigning British monarch to do so in almost 200 years. === Ghostly Sightings === Article by Susan Bowery, 31st October 2021; https://royalcentral.co.uk '''David Rizzo''' (1533-1566) The spirit of an Italian man named David Rizzio who was first a musician at the Palace and later became the private secretary to Mary, Queen of Scots still roams the hallways. In 1566, Mary’s husband Henry Stuart, also known as Lord Darnley, believed that Mary and Rizzio were having an affair and became extremely jealous of the close bond between them. Darnley conspired to murder Rizzio and forced Mary to witness his execution. Rizzio was repeatedly stabbed 57 times, directly outside Mary’s private chambers before being thrown down the staircase. To this day, the bloodstain remains on the wooden floor where he was murdered. His ghostly figure has been seen in this area and unexplained noises heard late at night. '''Henry Stuart, Lord Darnley''' (1546-1567) was later killed in a separate attack elsewhere and Mary was suspected of having something to do with it. His spirit has been seen on numerous occasions in and around his old quarters at Holyroodhouse as well. '''Agnes Sampson''' (XXXX-1591) During autumn of 1590, Agnes was hunted down by witch hunters, falsely accused of witchcraft and arrested. The witch trials were introduced and organised by King James VI. Agnes was then imprisoned at the Palace of Holyroodhouse, put on trial and tortured. When the torture became too much for Agnes to bear, she pled guilty and was sentenced to death on the 28th January 1591. Since her death, the spirit of Agnes has been seen many times, wandering naked through the corridors of the palace with scars on her body from the torture she endured. === Palace Treasures === Scotsman Magazine; https://www.scotsman.com '''Lord Darnley Jewel''' aka the 'Lennox Jewel' Made of gold, and enamelled and decorated with rubies and emeralds, the heart shaped jewel that belonged to the grandmother of James VI and I is known as the Darnley Jewel. It holds an inscription that is believed to convey the Countess of Lennox’s wish for James – the son of Mary, Queen of Scots – to become the King of England, as well as King of Scotland. Written in Old Scots, the motto translates as: “Who hopes still constantly with patience shall obtain victory in their claim.” The locket’s design includes “complex symbols”, some of which are hidden from view. One compartment opens up to reveal a skull, symbolising death. === Holyrood Park and Gardens === Royal Collection Trust; https://www.rct.uk The beautiful formal gardens cover 10 acres cared for by a team of Historic Environment Scotland gardeners. They are a dramatic contrast to the wild, natural backdrop of Arthur’s Seat which was once a monastery garden where monks grew plants for food and raised medicinal herbs for use in their infirmary. There is also a sundial in the garden which was made for Charles I’s Scottish coronation in 1633. === Memorials === Wikipedia; https://en.wikipedia.org '''Edward VII Memorial Statue''' Location: Fourcourt front of Holyroodhouse. By Scottish architect Sir George Washington Browne (1853-1939). '''Forecourt Fountain''' Location: Centre of the Forecourt Sandstone fountain in the was erected in 1858 by architect Robert Matheson (1808–1877) and is based on the design of the 16th-century fountain at Linlithgow Palace. === Holyrood Abbey === Historic Environment Scotland; https://www.historicenvironment.scotWikipedia; https://en.wikipedia.org aka Church of the Holy Rude (Scots for 'Holy Cross') Named after its most precious relic – a fragment of the true cross, a piece of the holy rood, it was the abbey of the Canons Regular in Edinburgh, Scotland. The abbey was originally served by a community of Augustinian Canons Regular from Merton Priory. During the 15th century, the abbey guesthouse was developed into a royal residence. The abbey’s choir and transepts were lost soon after the Protestant Reformation, though the nave survived as a parish church. But it too fell to ruins after the Catholic James VII King of England and King of Ireland as James II, and King of Scotland as James VII evicted the worshippers in 1687. The Royal Vault is the final resting place of both royalty and Augustinian canons. === Notable People === Wikitree; https://www.wikitree.comWikipedia; https://en.wikipedia.orgDictionary of Scottish Architects; http://www.scottisharchitects.org.uk '''Sir William Bruce''' (1630-1710) 1st Baronet Balcaskie, Scottish Architect Born: Blairhall‎, ‎Fife‎, Scotland‎ Died: Edinburgh, Scotland Resting Place: Kinross East Burying Ground, Kinross, Perth and Kinross, Scotland.

[[Peek-1521|Franklin Frederick Peek (1832-1905)]] & [[Eaton-9863|Martha (Eaton) Peek (1843-1912)]] donated their land for an orphanage and the Methodist Church ran the Peek Home Orphanage from 1916-1961. Nearly 300 children were housed there over those years. :''To the Woman's Home Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church, the described real estate, formerly known as the "Old Peek Homestead." I wish that an orphanage be established there, known as the Peek Orphanage, and I direct all income derived from said land, after the payments, go to my sister Mary E. Savage and (sister-in-law) Melona Peek. And, after the payment, enough money go to the orphanage for repairs and improvements. :''If the society shall not want to establish said orphanage, or fail to maintain it, then the property shall revert to my estate and that half be equally divided between my heirs, and the other half equally divided between my late husband's heirs.'''Probate''': "Illinois, U.S., Wills and Probate Records, 1772-1999".

Children residents at that time came from destitute homes with perhaps a parent no longer living. Some children spent a short time in residence and other spent the rest of their childhood years at the Peek Orphanage. Also, the majority of children came from, as Elwin Matthews, Director, put it, "the fourth great 'faith' in this country - the unchurched." Children helped with the farming, chores, garden, canning, cooking and cleaning of the home. As a result, they developed good work ethics and they were proud of what they accomplished. Also, they had good memories of life in the country. When they graduated from high school many area people helped them with college expenses, jobs and their living arrangements. Nearby communities also had entertained children in their homes over weekends, holidays and during the summer. With changing times, there were many children from homes lacking parenting skills. They were unwanted, abused, uncared for and sadly lacking educational skills.

It is pronounced Pen-ah-wine. Like many Welsh house names, it has been spelled in a variety of ways over time; :Penywaun, Penywaen, Penwaen, Penwaun, Penwain ===Geography=== :'''Continent:''' Europe :'''Sovereign State:''' United Kingdom :'''Country:''' Wales :'''County:''' Carmarthenshire :'''GPS Coordinates:''' 51.9403038, -3.8620638 :'''Elevation:''' 54 metres ===History=== Pen-y-waun was originally a small cottage located a mile east of the village of Llangadog in Carmarthenshire. It was knocked down in the 1950s and a new house, a bungalow, was built on the site which was also named Pen-y-waun. There is nothing special about Pen-y-waun, it just happens to be the house I live in. It appears on Ordnance Survey maps going back to the 1800s. This One Place Study is an extension of my interest in finding out who lived here in the past. ===Owners=== *1836 Edward Pryse Lloyd of Glansevin * 22 December 1943 Lieutenant Colonel Morgan Francis Pryse Lloyd-Harries of Plas Glansevin, Llangadog sold Pen-y-waun to Mrs Margaret Griffiths, widow for £280. There was an existing yearly tenant, Elias Thomas. *18 April 1946 Margaret, who remarried and was now Jacob, sold to George Edward Butler of College View, Llandovery for £500. *Sometime between then and 1958 Pen-y-waun was sold to [[Enoch-288| Mr B. T. Enoch]] of Penybont, Llangadog. On 20 December 1958 he received planning permission to knock down the old cottage and store and build a bungalow. *By 1997 it was owned by Mr & Mrs Ted Stretch. *On 7 January 2008 it was bought by Living Bruce & Living Lloyd. *22 July 2011 Pen-y-waun was bought by [[Beer-1597| John Beer]] & [[Armstrong-17381| Jutta Beer]] ===Residents=== *1836 Timothy Daniel *1841 *1851 *1861 *1871 *1881 *1891 *1901[[Thomas-55401| Elias Thomas]], sister & brother *1911[[Thomas-55401| Elias Thomas]] and wife Susan *1921[[Thomas-55401| Elias Thomas]] and wife Susan *1939 - [[Thomas-55401| Elias Thomas]], retired postman, widower.

Its goal was to alleviate poverty and encourage socialization across economic divisions. England's early efforts were concentrated in London, and when [[Addams-2|Jane Addams]] and others brought the movement to the United States, they focused on urban areas, where growing immigration and industrialization had increased socio-economic divisions. Inspired by these ideas as well as the work of Susan Chester's Log Cabin Settlement in Asheville, [[Space:Buncombe_County%2C_North_Carolina|Buncombe County, North Carolina]], [[Stone-24616|May Stone]] and [[Pettit-3668|Katherine Pettit]] saw a similar need in the communities of eastern Kentucky, where geographic isolation had severely limited the educational and economic opportunities of the residents. In 1902 the women established the [[Space:Hindman_Settlement_School%2C_Hindman%2C_Kentucky_One_Place_Study|Hindman Settlement School]], the first settlement school in the United States. {| cellpadding="10" align="left" | {| border="3" cellpadding="4" align="left" style="background:#A9BA9D;" |-align="center" |'''Geography of Harlan County, Kentucky ''' {| border="1" cellpadding="8" |- bgcolor=#FFEBCD | '''Continent:''' | North America |- bgcolor=#FFEBCD |'''Country:''' | United States |- bgcolor=#FFEBCD |'''Region:''' |[[Space:Central_Appalachia_Team|Central Appalachia]] |- bgcolor=#FFEBCD |'''State/Province:''' |[[Space:Kentucky|Kentucky]] |- bgcolor=#FFEBCD |'''County:''' |Harlan |- bgcolor=#FFEBCD |'''GPS Coordinates:''' | 36.948611, -83.183056 |- bgcolor=#FFEBCD |'''Area:''' | 1,210 sq km or 468 sq mi |- bgcolor=#FFEBCD |'''Elevation:''' |532.0 m or 1745.4 feet |} |} | |- |} In 1912 [[Creech-1634|William Creech]] of Harlan County convinced Katherine Pettit and Hindman principal Ethel De Long Zande to start a new settlement school in his area. Initially classes were held upstairs over a store and post office while Creech's donated land was cleared and drained. Pioneering female architect [[Rockwell-3437|Mary (Rockwell) Hook (1877-1978)]] designed the campus layout and several of the buildings. Construction continued through 1937. As a settlement school, Pine Mountain has operated a farm and a health clinic as well as offered job training, community services, and support for cultural arts and music initiatives. In 1937 it became the regional headquarters of the WPA's [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pack_Horse_Library_Project Pack Horse Library Project]. The school has been designated a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Historic_Landmark National Historic Landmark District]. It is one of the few settlement schools still in operation today.

The original purpose was to provide for the spiritual welfare of sailors and fishermen in the port, particularly those who had served in the [[Wikipedia:Napoleonic Wars|Napoleonic Wars]]. A floating chapel was created on a sailing vessel ''The Valiant'' which was moored in the Humber Dock: before long this became a meeting place for sailors and their families. Before long the society extended its remit to include the physical welfare of the men and their families: a school for sea apprentices was opened in 1824, followed by the ''Sailors Orphan Institute'' in 1837. Initially the Orphan Institute was concerned with clothing and educating the children of deceased seamen and rivermen. In 1862 an [[Wikipedia:Orphanage|orphan house]] was opened where they could provide "board, lodging and education for the orphan children of sailors and rivermen" (''Lifebelt & Anchor'', p. 68). The institute occupied a property at 12 Castle Row, before movng to a larger property at 8 Spencer Street. {{Image|file=Port_of_Hull_Society_Sailors_Orphan_Home_One_Place_Study.jpg |align=r |size=m |caption=The former Sailors Orphan Home, in Park Street |label=The former Sailors Orphan Home, in Park Street }} In 1867 the society purchased a large property, Thanet House, in Park Street which was adapted and extended to accommodate around 100 orphans: this purchase was largely funded by a generous donation from the [[Wikipedia:philanthropy|philanthropist]] [[Salt-291|Titus Salt]]. The property was subsequently further extended to enable it to accommodate some 200 children of deceased mariners from ports along much of the East Coast of England as well as from inland ports. By 1892 more applications for places at the orphanage were being received than could be accommodated, and further expansion of the Park Street home was not possible. In line with the latest thinking, the society planned to build a [[Wikipedia:Cottage homes|community of smaller homes]] where the children could live in family-style groups. A site at [[Wikipedia:Newland, Kingston upon Hull|Newland]], on the outskirts of the borough was acquired and the first of these new homes was officially opened in 1895. These would become known as the [https://historicengland.org.uk/services-skills/education/educational-images/newland-homes-cottingham-road-8686 ''Newland Cottage Homes'']. The Newland site would eventually comprise ten residential homes, arranged round a central green space, along with a school, sanatorium and other buildings. The buildings were named after some of the major benefactors of the organisation. This study considers the home and its residents whilst at Park Street. A separate (linked) study could be created for the years at Newland. Any such study would, however, be limited due to data protection regulations ensuring that records of identifiable persons are closed for 100 years: currently only the censuses of 1901 and 1911 are readily available (1921 is available at additional cost, but is expected to be more readily available in about 2025). ===Population=== Click the link to access the page with a table of those enumerated in the relevant census. {| border="1" class="sortable" !Year!!Inhabitants!!Notes |- |[[Space:Port_of_Hull_Society_Homes_-_1871_census|1871]]||150|| |- |[[Space:Port_of_Hull_Society_Homes_-_1881_census|1881]]||218|| In progress [[Jowett-548|Jowett-548]] 15:49, 11 June 2022 (UTC) |- |[[Space:Port_of_Hull_Society_Homes_-_1891_census|1891]]||187|| |} Although not resident in the homes, this study will also consider [[Space:Port_of_Hull_Society_Homes_-_Patrons%2C_Trustees_etc|patrons, trustees, committee members]] and others who were influential in the formation of the society and the management of the institution during the years at Park Street.

The name Montserrat means 'serrated mountain' (“Mont” (mount) and “serrat” (serrated))., and this is evident in the profile of the surrounding rocks above the monastery. As you pass through the facade of the Abbey, you enter the atrium which is a work of art in itself and features numerous sculptures and works of art. The nave itself is cruciform in plan and measures 68.32 meters long (224 feet) and 21.50 meters (70 feet) wide, with a height of 33.33 meters (109 feet). If the statue of the 'The Virgin of Montserrat' (aka 'La Moreneta', or aka Black Madonna) (Catalonia's patron saint) located at the head of the monastery's basilica doesn't wow you, the landscape of the area outside surely will, with its unique 1,236 meter high mountain range nestled and rising 300 meters (984 feet) above from the Monestery which sits majestically above Barcelona, and the island of Mallorca in the distance. The statue itself is located in the sanctuary of the Mare de Déu de Montserrat. It's just one of those places on earth that is both magical and religious in every way. === The Legends of Montserrat === The castle Experience; https://www.castlexperience.comCatalunya; https://www.catalunya.comWikipedia; https://en.wikipedia.org Legend 1: Angels descended from heaven and serrated the mountain with a golden saw to create a throne for the Virgin Mary.

Known as one of the “Black Madonnas of Europe”, the one at Montserrat measures 95cm / 3.1 ft. and is made out of poplar wood in the Byzantine style, and is believed to have been carved in Jerusalem. The local people called it 'Jerusalemite'. It was hidden in a mountain cave to keep it out of the hands of the Moors during their invasion of the Iberian Peninsula in the 8th Century. Pope Leo XIII declared the Virgin of Montserrat the Patron Saint of Catalonia in 1844. Over time, and the exposure to candle smoke, it started to take on a darker skin color. It was once refinished with a brown face then eventually was refinished with black color during multiple restorations. While the statue sits behind a sheet of glass, one of her hands that is holding a sphere (symbolizing the universe) is projected outside the glass allowing visitors to kiss or touch the Virgin's hand whilst opening out the other hand to Jesus. If you are willing to wait in a long line, you can actually get up close and personal with the Black Madonna where you can touch the sphere. === Other Attractions === Barcelona Tourism; https://www.barcelonaturisme.comWikipedia; https://en.wikipedia.org '''Museum''' The monastery features a museum that is divided into different sections: Catalonia Artists - Ramon Casas (1836-1992), Salvador Dalí (1904-1989), Joaquim Mir (1873-1940), Joan Miró (1893-1983), Isidre Nonell (1872-1911), Santiago Rusiñol (1861-1931), and Antoni Tàpies (1923-2012).

WilsonGoggle; https://www.google.comWikipedia; https://en.wikipedia.orgCulture Trip; https://theculturetrip.com aka 'The Giants of Montserat' The monastery is built into the hillside rocks which project 300 feet above of which were formed by natural erosion between hard rocks (conglomerates) and softer rocks (clay and sandstone). It's all part of a National Park in the 1,236 meter Catalan Pre-Coastal Range. Its natural beauty is awe inspiring to say the least. If you stand looking up, some rocks will take on an almost human body form which is fascinating in itself and which were formed 45 million years ago. If you get really lucky on your visit you might see climbers on the face of the mountain making their way to the top of Montserrat. Make sure to take your camera! === Awards === The Monastery of Santa Maria de Montserrat and the Way to the Holy Grotto have been listed as Assets of Local Cultural Interest (BCIL) by the Catalan government since 2001. === Interesting Facts === Goggle; https://www.google.com American singer, Stevie Wonder recorded Ebony & Ivory in Montserrat together with Englishman and former Beatle member Paul McCartney in 1981. === Activities === For the more adventurous people, take the tram up to the top of the mountain for terrific views. Hiking Montserrat is also another great way to see the surrounding area. Then of course for real adventurous there is rock climbing the face of Montserrat. ==Sources==

Their oldest daughter was the first woman married in that church. They were very religious people. Even after a hard day's work, a passage from the Bible would be read before they retired. Many a time they would walk to church on Sunday, a distance of four and a half miles, so that their horses could rest after the hard work of the past week. ===Families=== One of the focuses of this study is to identify the foundational parents of the church, and the major family branches that converged here, where their descendants intermarried. Many of them migrated from what was then Prussia, now Poland, in a fairly tight circle of communities within Kuyavia-Pomerania, Poland and neighboring Wielkopolskie, Poland. Of particular interest is the number of persons who came from what is now [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludomy Ludomy] (see [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Ludom%2C_Obornik%2C_Posen Index of Ludomy profiles]), a village said to have about 500 inhabitants.

The 1980s cutoff is not a hard and fast rule, just a suggestion. - Was named in the church record books of St John's in Black Creek, either as a principal (the person who was baptised, confirmed, married, or had a funeral at St John's) or as a parent or witness of such a person or event. - Was buried in the Black Creek Evangelical Cemetery, which has also had other names, such as the Sassman Cemetery and the St John's cemetery. {{One Place Study|place=St John Evangelical Lutheran Church, Black Creek, Wisconsin|category=St John Evangelical Lutheran Church, Black Creek, Wisconsin One Place Study}} {{Clear}} *[[Special:Whatlinkshere/Space:St John Evangelical Lutheran Church, Black Creek, Wisconsin One Place Study|WikiTree Profiles that link here]] ===Name=== The church has been known under these names: - St. John's Evangelical and Reformed Lutheran Church , or just St John's Evangelical and Reformed Church - St. John's United Church of Christ In 1961, the Evangelical and Reformed Churches of the United States merged with the Congregational Christian Churches, to form the United Churches of Christ.

A short list of sources is expected to be broadened in time, but for now I am concentrating on copies of early church records from the book kept by pastors between 1871 and 1903, along with cemetery sources like the records published by the Wisconsin State Genealogical Society in the 1980s and sites like Find A Grave. The church book is available at the Family History Libraries. The copy I worked from in making my index originated there, but was printed and placed in a binder on the shelf at the public library in Seymour, Outagamie, Wisconsin, USA. The index of the church records is complete and PDFs of that index are attached to the images page so that others may use them. I thank Ellen PIehl for her contributions to the review of these records. Minor corrections are being made to the indexes as needed, as I am working with the indexes to add profiles to the study. ==Research Notes== In the early days of this church community, it appears as though there was a lot of movement of families into and out of the area. In addition, I would guess that the pastors serving this church probably also served in other nearby churches, because it appears that some families from Center, Cicero, and other areas with known "St John's" churches that are separate entities also appear in these church records. There are many profiles yet to add to this study. A large percentage of the profiles are new - not previously appearing on WikiTree.

Location: 25 Riverside Drive, Ormond Beach, Florida 32176, at the east end of the Halifax Bridge. The Casements has been officially listed on the National Register of Historic Places, as well as designated as a Florida Heritage Site. The Casements is a 9000 square foot 3 story mansion sitting on the eastern bank of the Halifax River in Ormond Beach, Florida and was the Winter home of oil tycoon John. D. Rockefeller. The mansion is so named because of its generous use of casement type windows in every room. It seems that in the late 19th century (Victorian age), casement window sashes transitioned from iron to oak. Therefore when Casements was built they were all hand cut oak frames. Also in this era, window glass making was still in its infancy, so only small panes were used in casements type windows. That's why there are so many grids used herein. NASCAR was formed from the early car races in this area which gave Ormond Beach another title, that being “The Birthplace of Speed.” John D. Rockefeller, his son John Jr., and close friend Henry Ford were great fans of the local speed races on Ormond Beach as well as nearby Daytona Beach. FYI - In 1907 Glenn Curtiss (1878-1930) set an unofficial world record of 136.36 miles per hour (219.45 km/h), on a 40-horsepower (30 kW) 269 cu in (4,410 cc) Curtiss V-8 motorcycle along Ormond Beach.

Harwood Huntington (1861-1923) of New Haven, Connecticut on land given to his wife Grace Beecher Goodhue (1872-1958) by her father. After only 5 years in the home, the Huntington’s sold Casements in 1918 and moved to Los Angeles in 1919 to continue Mr. Huntington’s religious work in the church there. While working in New York, an executive and co-founder of Standard Oil Company named John Davison Rockefeller had his employees try to find him a location in the U.S. that was pollution free where he could spend his winter months and invigorate his health. They found it in Ormond Beach, Florida. He started coming down to Ormond Beach in the winter of 1914 and would stay at the (old) Ormond Hotel which was located just across the street from the (current) Casements. He rented an entire wing of the hotel for himself, family, and his personal staff, which became known as the ‘Rockefeller Wing’. Being a resident of the hotel, Rockefeller was nicknamed ‘Neighbor John’ by the locals as he would stroll by Casements every day on his walks around the area handing out dimes to the neighborhood children as a friendly gesture. At some point, it seems that the Ormond Hotel was going to raise his rental rate which he objected to. So when ‘Casements’ came up for sale in 1918, he was thinking that the sea air and rounds of golf, which he played every day at near Oceanside Golf and Country Club (est. 1907) would help him live to be 100 (he came close), he bought the Harwood estate at the age of 78 for $75,000 dollars, and an additional 6 lots for another $14,000 dollars giving him a total of 9 acres of property. Well known guests at Casements included Harvey Firestone (1868-1938) (Firestone Tire Company), Edward VIII, Britain's Prince of Wales (1894-1932), Henry Flagler (1830-1913) (American industrialist), Henry Ford (1863-1947) (Ford Motor Company), Will Rogers (1879-1935) (Vaudeville performer, and actor), and Sir Malcolm Campbell (1885-1948) (World land speed record holder in 1935), all of whom visited and stayed with Rockefeller at Casements off and on for his many parties. Upon Rockefeller’s death, his family had planned to have Casements torn down but Instead it was sold in 1940 for $37,500 dollars to Maud Van Woy (1876-1966), owner and headmistress of the Fairmont Junior College of Washington, D.C.. Van Woy transformed the building into the Casements Junior College. Following the closing of the college in 1951, Casements was sold to Rev. C.A. Maddy to be used as a religious retirement facility and school. It later became Casements Manor, a secular retirement facility. In 1959 the property was purchased by the Hotel Ormond Corporation for $128,000 dollars with plans for development, but those plans never materialized. Over the years, two fires, vandalism, and overall neglect caused Casements to be destined for demolition. By the late 1960s much of the property was destroyed and plans were drawn up to build an $8 million condominium complex, but Casements was saved by local citizens instead. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973, and the City of Ormond Beach purchased the property in 1974 for $500,000 dollars. It was restored with a Federal Economic Development Administration grant under the Local Public Works Act in 1978 and reopened in 1979 as The Community Enrichment Center of Ormond Beach, a historical, educational and cultural facility also hosting community events. === Interior === Stuart M.

== The Lake Mansion, Hebron, Nebraska One Place Study == {{One Place Study|place=The Lake Mansion, Hebron, Nebraska|category=The Lake Mansion, Hebron, Nebraska One Place Study}} {{Clear}} *[[Special:Whatlinkshere/Space:The Lake Mansion, Hebron, Nebraska One Place Study|WikiTree Profiles that link here]] Imagine a landscape of rolling hills and rich farmland, roughly caressed by the ceaseless winds that the "Great American Desert" is known for. This countryside is dotted with villages and towns, but the dominant features are the vast fields of cultivated crops, pastures for grazing livestock and patches of tangled forests that follow the creeks drainage. The farms are fairly evenly space with the obvious headquarters of each centered around a modest farmhouse, a barn and several other out-buildings. This is the story of a very immodest house that is far out of scale in its surroundings. This is also the story of how it came to be built and the people who lived in it. {{Image|file=The_Lake_Mansion_of_Hebron_Nebraska-1.jpg |align=c |size=l |caption=The Lake Mansion from the Southeast }} ===History=== The beginning of the story is about two half-sisters, Retta and Mary. Retta was born in Massachusetts in 1847 with the name of Bridgett and her mother was Mary Kelly. Her half-sister, Mary, was born in Wisconsin in 1854 and the daughter of Sarah Rogers. Their father, John McConnelogue, had two sons and two more daughters with his second wife, Sarah. [[McConnelogue-5|Bridgett/Theresa Loretta/Retta]] left home, married a Civil War veteran, changed her name to Theresa Loretta, settled in Chicago, had two sons and became a widow before age 30. [[McConnelogue-1|Mary]] stayed at home, moved with her family to Iowa, taught school and kept house for her father after her mother died, and finally married at age 30. Retta married her second husband in 1886 and his name was [[Borden-218|Henry Lee Borden]], who was the oldest son of the founder of the famous condensed milk company of the same name. Mary married an Iowa dirt farmer named [[Lake-1776|Joseph Henry Lake]], three years her junior, who had a wanderlust. Mary and Joe lived in at least three different counties in Iowa, plus North Dakota, before ending up in Nebraska by about 1902. Retta and Mary's father died in 1902 and so did Retta's husband, Henry Lee. These were pivotal events. Retta now had a fortune of over a million dollars. Mary had two children about to go out on their own and a husband who wanted to move again. Mary did not want to move again, ever. Retta and Mary came up with a plan. Retta would build a house on Joe's farm and put the deed in Mary's name. You have heard of Peter the pumpkin eater who had a wife and couldn't keep her? {{Image|file=The_Lake_Mansion_of_Hebron_Nebraska.jpg |align=c |size=l |caption=Mary's New Mansion }} Their plan was successful, but not at all practical. Retta was used to the mansions of the wealthy and besides that, she already had at least five residences in Chicago, New York, St. Clair, Michigan, Houston, Texas and Tonti, Illinois, all probably with a resident staff. Retta would build a similar house for her dear sister Mary. Instead of a structure sized for two middle-aged empty-nesters supporting themselves meagerly on only 80 acres, Retta built a place big enough for a family of at least six with a staff of at least two, who would be able to entertain on a grand scale of at least twenty, and as many as one hundred, guests. Joe was never happy there and was so resentful of the house that he never maintained it, never repaired it and never painted it. It was a good thing that it was built without running water or electricity because just the utilities would have put them in the poor house, they could barely afford to heat one or two rooms and only lived in three, the kitchen, dining room and one bedroom, all on the main floor. In the kitchen, by the sink was a pump that drew rainwater from a cistern. Next to the kitchen was a small room with a bathtub and they heated water for bathing on the kitchen wood stove. One "advanced" convenience of the house was that it had an indoor privy and it was a two hole-er. In the winter it was just as cold as an outhouse. Instead of a pit next to the foundation, there was a tile gutter that directed the waste into a cesspool down the hill. There was a waiting room next to the indoor privy that had a door to the outside. Mary used that waiting room to house her chickens in the winter. Mary and Joe died in the 1940's, making way for the second generation of Lake occupants. {{Image|file=The_Lake_Mansion_of_Hebron_Nebraska-2.jpg |align=c |size=l |caption=Lake Mansion from the Northwest }} [[Lake-1211|Frank Lake]] was the son of Joe and Mary. Frank's wife, [[Corliss-262|Nell Corliss]], had grown up just down the road from the big house, but they were married in Hebron in 1910, took their honeymoon in Iowa, and then homesteaded on one section in the Sandhills of northwest Nebraska. Frank had lived in the big house after it was built, but he was also attending high school in Chicago and living with his Auntie Retta for part of that time. His sister, [[Lake-1781|Alta]], was about sixteen when the house was built, and was probably the youngest occupant. After thirty years of raising cattle, Frank, Nell and their youngest son, [[Lake-1215|Wallace]], moved across the state, from Hooker county to Thayer county to raise corn for a living. Frank had running water and electricity installed in the house. Their youngest son, Wallace, trained as a pilot and died in World War II, but the short time he lived in the mansion, he was probably the third person to live upstairs, Frank and Nell continued to live in three rooms on the main floor. They did, however, replace the wood stoves with gas stoves, stopped using the indoor privy in preference to a flush toilet, but did not evicted the chickens. Nell had a chicken-raising operation where she had the chicks in the privy waiting room and the older chickens on the front enclosed porch. Nell died in 1969 and signaled the ending of the second generation's time in the house. [[Lake-1214|Gene]] was the middle son of Frank and Nell. Gene and his wife, [[Folk-132|Irene Folk]] were both born on Nebraska Sandhill homesteads and were married in 1934 in Hooker county. They managed to raise a family of five on two sections of grassland bordering the Dismal River. After all their children were married and living on their own, it came time to take their turn of residing in the Lake Mansion. They probably had some regrets for leaving the Sandhills they loved. This would not be the first time they had had to leave, they had moved to the state capital of Lincoln two different times when their kids were in college. But those times were temporary and this move was permanent. Irene said that she did not want to move to a house where she would probably die, but there were other more important practical considerations. It was another career change for Gene, which he probably did not look forward to doing. So they made the best of it and really had an attitude that they were on an educational adventure. They learned about house remodeling and landscaping. They learned about antique collecting. They made new friends. When their thirty years were nearly up, the poor health of them both made it impossible for them to care for themselves and they had to move into a nursing home in Hebron. Their time there was pleasant enough, for Irene had worked there as a nurse not long before, but mercifully their time was brief. Irene died in May of 1998 and Gene died five months later. Both were laid to their rest of grace until their Lord's return in the Rose Hill Cemetery, along side Frank, Nell, Joe and Mary. {{Image|file=The_Lake_Mansion_of_Hebron_Nebraska-3.jpg |align=c |size=l |caption=Lake Mansion from Southwest about 1975 }} Gene and Irene's children had many happy memories of their parents, grandparents and great-grandparents living in the big house and visiting them many times, but none of them wanted themselves to live in it. They mutually decided to sell the house and the 80 acres it sat on. It was a monumental job to clean it out to get it ready to sell. It was so big that no one had had to throw anything away, each generation had moved the previous occupants' belongings upstairs to make room for their own. Gene and Irene had worked on getting rid of a lot of trash, but their antique collecting had taught them what was not junk and they added quite a bit to what was already there. Much of the original furniture that Retta had bought was still there. All of this made for a very large estate sale and auction. The house that was built in 1906 for about $10,000 was sold in 1999 for about $100,000. THE INTERIOR OF THE HOUSE The tangible monument of our relationship to Retta was this large mansion that has stood for over one hundred years on a small farm on the rolling prairies of southeastern Nebraska in Thayer county, near the town of Hebron. One mile south on the old US highway 81 and one mile east on US highway 136 will take you to county road 6300 and one half mile south will take you to this house. The photos below were taken in 1990 by the author. This wood frame house was built on a brick and mortar foundation, with a cedar shingle roof. It had an attic that was a full story high, so its five chimneys were three stories tall. It was often said, and always with pride, that each chimney contained a car-load of bricks and there are five chimneys. Stories vary regarding the year that the house was built, but a bill of sale for the furniture ordered for the house by Mrs. H.L. Borden of Tonti, Illinois, from the Toby Furniture Company located at corner of Wabash and Washington streets in Chicago, Illinois, was dated 30 April 1906. This order furnished ten rooms. There was a bedroom each for Retta, Mary, Alta and Frank plus one odd and one spare bedroom. I don’t know if Joe shared Mary’s room or if he was considered “odd” or “spare.” The living room, dining room, porch and hall were also included. The total cost for this order was $2,878.50. It was thought that the cost to build the house was about $10,000. {{Image|file=The_Lake_Mansion_of_Hebron_Nebraska-5.jpg |align=c |size=l |caption=Furniture Order 1906, page 1 }} Above is an image of page one of the furniture order. It shows the prices of individual pieces, such as three chairs for 12.75, 18.00 and 18.00 dollars each. The bed was 125, the box spring 45 and the mattress 35, for a total of $205. Alta’s room also got a dresser and a special wash stand. There was no running water in the original house and the only bath room in the house, mentioned above, only had a metal, or possibly porcelain, bath tub and the hot water for it was carried in buckets from the kitchen stove. Only in the 1950’s were there added a large porcelain tub, a porcelain pedestal sink, and a flush toilet. The wash stand, therefore, was for the minor, everyday sort of washing done out of a large porcelain basin with matching pieces, such as a pitcher, soap dish, flower vase, among others. {{Image|file=The_Lake_Mansion_of_Hebron_Nebraska-6.jpg |caption=Washstand }} The wash stand had a horizontal rod above and behind the top for hanging wash cloths and towels for drying, and the one pictured above has been converted to display a matchbook collection on strings. Although this list of bedroom furniture seems rather spartan compared to modern times, there doesn’t seem to be much difference between the bedroom of a large house in a city for wealthy person, and the bedroom of a small, rural house for a farmer. The differences were probably more apparent in the dining room. A farmer’s house would more often have had the eating area in a large kitchen, with most of the food preparation work done on the dining table, as well as the eating. In the home of a wealthy family, food prepared by a staff would be done in a separate kitchen and the family would sit at a dining table in a dining room and be served by the staff. Besides the size of the Lake Mansion, this is the most obvious sign that it had been built by a wealthy person, not a practical and frugal farmer. The kitchen had its own entrance from the outside, its own stairs leading up to staff quarters, a hallway leading to the bathing room and another passage through a “butler’s pantry” leading to the dining room. This kept the work areas hidden from the living space of the family. The butler’s pantry had floor-to-ceiling open built-in shelves for storing china, crystal and serving dishes, with drawers below for storing table linens, silverware and other eating utensils and accessories. Below are photos of the original china cabinet and dining sideboard, purchased for 67 and 93 dollars respectively. The bill shows ten dining chairs for $110, or eleven dollars apiece. There were actually enough leaves for the table to seat twenty and the room was large enough for that many to dine with room to walk all the way around, but only with the table oriented diagonally. All ten of those matching original chairs are like the one pictured in front of the buffet. {{Image|file=The_Lake_Mansion_of_Hebron_Nebraska-4.jpg |align=c |size=l |caption=China Cabinet and Sideboard Buffet }} This is only one page of the seven page bill of sale for the original furniture, and two examples of rooms where this furniture was located and photos of the original pieces bought in 1906. ===Name=== The Lake House, also known as The Lake Mansion. ===Geography=== :'''Continent:''' North America :'''Country:''' United States of America :'''State/Province:''' Nebraska :'''County:''' Thayer :'''GPS Coordinates:''' 40.13838170400027, -97.55703538683764 :'''Elevation:''' 469.0 m or 1538.7 feet ===Residents=== Person who had the house built and the original owner: [[McConnelogue-5|Bridget Theresa Loretta (McConnelogue) Borden (1847-1927)]] The house was built on the property owned by her brother-in-law, Joe Lake.

House and property was inherited by Mary and Joe's son, [[Lake-1211|Frank Martin Lake (1885-1976)]]. He and his wife, [[Corliss-262|Nellie Pauline (Corliss) Lake (1886-1969)]] resided in the house from about 1942 until 1969. Frank and Nell had three sons. Mirza Joe was married in 1940 and did not live in the house. Their second son, Gene, was married in 1934 and remained in the Sandhills until 1969. Their youngest son, Wallace, was 21 years old in 1942, and lived there until he enlisted in the army Air Corps in 1943. Next generation to inherited the house and property were [[Lake-1214|Harold Eugene Lake (1913-1998)]] and [[Folk-132|Irene (Folk) Lake (1908-1998)]]. Gene and Irene resided there from 1969 until 1998. {{Image|file=The_Lake_Mansion_Hebron_Nebraska_One_Place_Study.jpg |caption=Four Generations of Lakes }} ===Community=== This section will be for listing as many members of the surrounding community who were more distant relatives, friends, associates and neighbors. Joe and Mary's son, Frank married a neighbor girl, Nellie Corliss. Nellie had a sister, Rhoda, and four brothers; George, Fred, Martin and Reuben. Their daughter, Alta, left home when she was about 16 or 18 years old, to travel with her Aunt Retta, and as far as we know, never returned. Joe's family was all back in Hardin County, Iowa, and they had little contact. Mary's family was also in Hardin County, Iowa. One brother, one sister later went to Minnesota and one sister went to Colorado. After Frank and Nell returned from the Sandhills, they were close to the Corliss relatives. {{Image|file=The_Lake_Mansion_Hebron_Nebraska_One_Place_Study-2.jpg |align=c |size=l |caption=Nell's Corliss Family. }} No doubt, Nell renewed contact with all of her friends and classmates who were in the area. {{Image|file=The_Lake_Mansion_Hebron_Nebraska_One_Place_Study-3.jpg |align=c |size=l |caption=High School Graduates. }} Frank and Nell had made a honeymoon trip to Iowa and a few of his cousins made honeymoon trips to Nebraska. Gene and Irene had made many acquaintances in the Hebron area over the years, when visiting Gene's grandparents and parents. After their arrival as the third generation they made many friends among the neighbors and also among Irene's co-workers at the hospital. One of the most important resources for this section is the collection of photographs found in the house before it was sold. Three fourths of the collection were labelled predominately as relatives. The remaining one quarter are probably mostly from this group of of FAN's. Group photos would be the best way to illustrate these people instead of individual pictures. One example is a photo of The Avalon Club. {{Image|file=The_Lake_Mansion_Hebron_Nebraska_One_Place_Study-1.jpg |caption=The Avalon Club }} This section may also be a way to connect with more recent members of the community. There is a FaceBook group called, "You Know You're From Hebron If" and we can mention people who have a memory of the house or the occupants. ==Sources== * Recollections and photos of Steve Lake, oldest grandson of Gene and Irene Lake.

This could include in-patient and out-patient. ===History=== :Construction for the Weston State Hospital began in 1858 prior to the Civil War. Once the start of the Civil War occurred, the building ceased. Union and Confederate troops both occupied the grounds as Weston repeatedly changed hands during the war. :It eventually opened in 1863, once West Virginia had become an official State, sectioned off from, mostly, Virginia. Patients started to arrive in 1864 despite final construction not complete until 1880. :In 1994, the hospital was vacated and abandoned; left without funding for maintenance. There are 15 miles of pipe and 921 windows, that cost $300,000 a year to maintain. Eventually, the state cut back to groundskeeping and security, for a continuing annual cost of about $100,000. {{Image|file=Trans-Allegheny_Lunatic_Asylum_Weston_West_Virginia_One_Place_Study-2.jpg |align=r |size=m }} :In 2007, the hospital was put up for auction and bought by a private owner. Joe Jordan, an asbestos demolition contractor from Morgantown, West Virginia, bought the asylum for $1.5 million. There is no minimum bid, but the state retains mineral rights and the right to reject any offer.

Following its secession from the United States, the government of Virginia demanded the return of the hospital's unused construction funds for its defense. : Following the admission of West Virginia as a U.S. state in 1863, the hospital was renamed the West Virginia Hospital for the Insane. :Patients were admitted into the asylum for a variety of reasons including asthma, laziness, egotism, domestic troubles (including infidelity or a man simply wanting rid of his wife to marry another), and even greediness. {{Image|file=Trans-Allegheny_Lunatic_Asylum_Weston_West_Virginia_One_Place_Study-4.jpg |align=r |size=m |caption=Outside the Realm. }} ====20th Century==== :A gas well was drilled on the hospital grounds in 1902. In the surrounding area, selling the mineral rights is very lucrative for property owners. :Its name was again changed to Weston State Hospital in 1913. :Weston State Hospital found itself to be the home for the West Virginia Lobotomy Project in the early 1950s. This was an effort by the state of West Virginia and Walter Freeman to use lobotomy to reduce the number of patients in asylums because there was severe overcrowding. ====21st Century==== :Three small museums devoted to military history, toys, and mental health were opened on the first floor of the main hospital building in 2004, but were soon forced to close due to fire code violations. :The hospital was auctioned by the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources on August 29, 2007. :In 2008, the hospital became a tourist attraction with the hospital being called the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum, a name that is had used in the past and presumably more popular for tourism. The grounds are currently used for festivals, flea markets, paintball, and bbq competitions while there are also tours of the inside of the hospital along with paranormal tours.

It's construction is indicated to date from a much earlier time. There is a historical citation in Vokovi z Buřenic otherwise from Kříženec. In the beginning of the 15th century Oneš settled here, the brother of the State Chamberlain Zikmund Huler from Orlík. The same is also mentioned in the year 1407 by a gentleman in Vožice where he advanced goods from Mikuláš from Prague, but even after, when he settled in Kříženec, he remained friends with citizens of Vožice. When, in the year 1410 on the 20th of April, he swore perpetual chaplaincy in Vožice, they established and continued, added to this chaplaincy of Ondřej Zbraslavský was the Priest Oneš. Already before that had come for goods from Mikovský, after whom they were later named. Mikuláš Zajíc z Valdeka otherwise from Kříženec reminiscent of the year 1420, the 23rd of September. The same identical one was probably with Mikuláš Zajíc from Valdek which the year 1419 answered by way of the hussites of Prague. His unfriendly fancies against the party was also a reason those from Tábor took the Kříženec fortress and settled it with their poeple. When Czechs in the year 1423 did not have anything to be afraid of from foreign enemies, they got bogged down deeper into various and civil wars, they solicited the people from Prague whom went strongly into the field. With infantry and cavalry along with many cannons and catapults, they closed in on the Kříženec fortress. However, it is said that the structure took a few weeks, they themselves suffered more casualties than they were able to besiege. When, however, Mr. Bohuslav from Švamberk gathered up the surrounding municipalities from Tábor, he asked them for help, the people from Prague went with him into deliberations, and left Kříženec again. Then again after this war the Kříženec lords received their goods from Talmberk along with goods from Jankovský, even though it was quite far from Kříženec. After the stormy time period it was followed by destruction to the Kříženec fortress and the village was burned down, so that both up to our time no longer remain. The castle landscape vévodícího seest the right side of the road instead of Táborské. Zizka said, "to kitchens" between top and Křtěnovicemi, and to this day between the Potters and Krizenecky, "killers" he says, where he said the 30-year war, a great battle was fought. The first mention of the former fortress Krizenec comes from 1292, when it was of Buřenice differently from Krizeneckeho. The demolition of the old granary in Still Life (formerly Fraunhoff) which was built of stone obtained from the fortress, was according to historical records discovered part of a Gothic arch carved with the year 1247. It was a moated fortress which had an irregular octagonal floor plan, and access to it was protected. a system of ponds, wetlands and embankments, whose remains are still visible in the vicinity. In the early 15th century, the fortress was settled by Oneš brother chamberlain of King Wenceslas IV. Zikmund Huler of Orlik, who was executed in 1405 for the fraud enriched at the expense of the royal chamber. Nicholas Hare from Valdek. the fortress remained in 1420 a year after he declared war Hussite Prague residents. His hostile attitude to a devotee Utraquist was the reason that Taborites stronghold was conquered and occupied. In 1423, the fort was tried unsuccessfully to conquer Taborites using cannons and catapults. Praguers In later times were during demolition there was debris found at the abandoned fortress silver bowls and near the field Hussite cannonballs Even during the Hussite wars won Kříženecká goods and gentlemen of Talmberk were Jankovskému attached to goods. In 1573, Elizabeth Kaplírova z Malovic won Krizenec at no surrender, which was connected to Šebířov and in 1678 the manor Vožickému. ===Population=== ===Notables=== *[[Wikipedia:|Wikipedia:]] ==Sources== Cikhart, Roman.

Grants Tower (Keep) is at the extreme North end of the Neither bailey (enclosure), the lower of the two baileys. At the higher South end of the Upper bailey is where the Doocot is located. The two baileys are surrounded by a loose figure eight curtain wall dating from the 1300's. The castle was likely built on top of an earlier Pictish fortification. Names like St. Columba, Scottish King Robert I, Clan MacDonald, Clan Grant , and the English all played a role in the battles, sieges, and attempted takeovers it had throughout its history. It remains the third most visited castle in Scotland (after Edinburgh, and Stirling) while tourists from around the world are in the area trying to get a glimpse of famous 'Nessie' in the adjacent Loch Ness. ===Historical Timeline=== Wilderness Scotland; https://www.wildernessscotland.comHistoric Scotland; https://www.historicenvironment.scotWikipedia; https://en.wikipedia.orgLoch Ness By Jacobite; https://www.jacobite.co.ukEuropean Waterways; https://www.europeanwaterways.comUndiscovered Scotland; https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.ukCastles of Scotland; https://www.thecastlesofscotland.co.uClan Grant; https://clangrantvisitors.orgAbout Scotland; http://www.aboutscotland.comJacobite Trail; https://www.jacobitetrail.co.ukHidden Scotland; https://hiddenscotland.co '''300 AD-500 AD''' - Picts likely occupied the North of Scotland and had some form of Pictish fortification on the former site of Urquhart Castle.
