The site is bounded on the west by Mill Creek Ravine, the east by 95 St., the south by 88 Ave and the north by 92 Ave. 96th Street basically bisects the Dawson Huts site. ===History=== Military barracks sitting empty in Dawson Creek, BC after WWII were moved to Bonnie Doon in 1945/46 to house returned soldiers and their families. They were taken apart in Dawson Creek, stacked on trains and hauled to Edmonton's south side station. The were trucked to present-day site of École Maurice-Lavallée, then empty fields, and erected on concrete foundations without basements. Only families with children and a yearly income less than $3500 were admitted. Monthly rents were $25 for one bedroom suites, $28 for two bedroom and $33 for three bedrooms. In 1949, responsibility for emergency housing passed from the federal government to the City of Edmonton. The City managed the Dawson Huts into the 1960s, when they were dismantled. A decade later, the french-language, Catholic École J.H. Picard opened on the site, later to become École Maurice-Lavallée. ===Population=== The sixty Dawson Huts provided accommodation for 261 families. ==Sources== * [https://www.bonniedoon.ca/history.html The History of Bonnie Doon].

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

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

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

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

The morning after the fire, the ''Guardian'' [newspaper] published the following report under the title ‘London flocks to the Palace pyre’: ''There was no mistaking the earnestness of London’s farewell to the Crystal Palace tonight.

By primarily utilising census data, we aim to establish connections between individuals or families and the broader WikiTree community, while also facilitating links back to this OPS. Furthermore, we'll explore additional resources such as street directories, occupational journals, and newspaper reports to infuse the records with intriguing facts, painting a vibrant picture of times gone by.

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

The Misses [[Plummer-4169|Plummer]] were living there some time in 1876, and [[Cownie-4|James Gibb Cownie]] rented it from 1877 to 1878. The house was advertised to let in The Scotsman in May 1878. In 1879 the tenant was [[Kemp-8489|Alexander Kemp]], and then it was rented by [[Crouch-159|David Crouch]] from 1881 to 1891. [[Bryan-2911|Mrs Louisa Nicol]]l lived there in 1895 and 1896, and [[Pennefather-186|Robert Pennefather]] was the tenant from 1897 to 1900.

The site passed through various hands and there is no record of a house on the site until December 1886, when [[Matthew-698|John Robb Matthew]] bought the property. This makes it the last house to be built in the Crescent. It is a detached house of 13 rooms. John Matthew died shortly after buying the house, but his widow continued to live there until the end of the century. '''No 25 (Lot 236)''' No 25 is also a detached house, built in a classic style. It is the middle plot of the three bought by [[Paterson-4584|John Paterson]]. His estate sold it to [[Stratton-4464| George Stratton]], who built the house, which he then rented out. The first tenant was [[Gregory-11805|Rev James Gregory]], who lived there from 1880 to 1887. It was then let to [[Hay-5874|James Hay]] between 1888 and 1898. George Stratton died in 1897, and his trustees sold the house to [[Hall-48602|James Hal]]l, who lived there from 1899 onwards. '''No 26 (Lot 235)''' No 26 is the most westerly of the three plots owned by [[Paterson-4584|John Paterson]]. , and was sold to [[Cownie-1| Thomas Ogilvie Cownie]] in 1878. He lived there with his family until he died in 1898. The house was put up for auction soon after he died. It was described as: :‘Convenient and Commodious DETACHED VILLA of 3 Public Rooms, 6 Bed-Rooms, Dressing-Room, Bath-Room and Lavatories, Kitchen, Laundry, Servants’ Accommodation, Housemaid’s Pantry with Lift, and other Pantries, Closets and Presses. Ground Quarter Acre’ The upset price was ‘moderate’ and the Feu duty £6-5s. However it was not sold, and his widow, Margaret Cownie, continued to live in it until 1901. In the Inland Revenue survey of 1912 the house is described as a one-and-three-quarter-storey detached house with coursed rubble walls, gables and back wall. The gable to the front was fitted with bargeboards and half-timber work, and projecting eaves. There was one small attic, and the front canopy over the door was supported by wooden trusses. The boundary walls were rubble, and there was a parapet wall and railings to the front. There was a small tool house on the south boundary. Accommodation consisted of a basement kitchen with a good range. There was also a scullery with sink and a small service hoist. There was a washhouse with a brick floor, two wooden tubs, and a boiler. On this floor there was also a bedroom, a coal cellar, a WC, and a wine cellar with stone shelves. There was a larder under the stair. In addition there was a nursery with a window giving on to the garden, and a press containing a washbasin. On the ground floor, there was a dining room, another small room, a small bedroom, and a pantry. Wooden stairs led to the first floor, where there were four bedrooms, a small dressing room, a bathroom and WC. '''No 27 - originally No 30 (Lot 234)''' The last house on the southwest side of the Crescent is another large detached house, built in 1874. The land had been sold to [[Hogg-3212|James Hogg]], a builder and joiner, and during 1874 it was advertised in The Scotsman. By 1875 the house had been bought by [[More-967|Camilla More]] and her family. They were still there in 1912 when the Inland Revenue survey took place. It described the building as a two-storey detached house with rubble walls and two-storey bow windows. There was a hot-house in the back garden, with a parapet wall and railings to the front. =The People= ===Years 1862 to 1871=== :1862 ::[[Johnston-26482|Elizabeth Johnston]] had '''No 1''' built and

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

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

It was the name of a plantation owned by J. McRobert Baker. ===Geography=== https://www.wikitree.com/photo.php/thumb/3/33/LaVilla_Jacksonville_Florida_One_Place_Study.png/300px-LaVilla_Jacksonville_Florida_One_Place_Study.png :'''Continent:''' North America :'''Country:''' United States of America :'''State/Province:''' Florida :'''County:''' Duval :'''GPS Coordinates:''' 30.3323, -81.6667 :'''Elevation:''' 6.8 m or 22.1 feet "LaVilla lies to the northwest in Jacksonville's downtown.

After the Emancipation Proclamation of 1863, Francis F. L'Engle purchased land in the area and established the independent city of LaVilla in 1866. He became the town's first mayor.[https://www.metrojacksonville.com/article/2014-dec-lavilla-the-rise-fall-of-a-great-black-neighborhood- LaVilla: The Rise & Fall of a Great Black Neighborhood] During Reconstruction and the ensuing years, African-Americans were the vast majority in LaVilla. By 1870, they were reportedly 70% of the population. Many enjoyed political positions in the community. Many were also prosperous business owners and socially prominent members of the town. A lot of the residents also worked in neighboring Jacksonville in the booming building, hotel, port, lumber, and railroad industries. In 1883, a railway station was established in LaVilla which made it a hub for people traveling down from the North. In 1919, the Union Terminal, the largest of its kind in the nation, replaced the original station. In 1887, there were 3000 people living in LaVilla. That year, Jacksonville annexed LaVilla among with 5 other small neighboring suburbs, making it a neighborhood in what became Jacksonville's downtown. Following annexation, laws were enacted that removed some of the privileges the African-Americans had been accustomed to while an independent city. In 1902, the state legislature put in place a new constitution which disenfranchised the Blacks from voting and holding political office. After annexation and through the segregation era, LaVilla became known as "Harlem of the South" and enjoyed a lively night-life culture, which drew many top performers from around the country.[https://thecoastal.com/flashback/history-lavilla-neighborhood/ Harlem of the South: The History of LaVilla] ===The Great Fire of Jacksonville in 1901=== On the morning of May 3, 1901, the workers of the Cleaveland Fibre Factory in the neighborhood of Lavilla were laying out moss to dry. While they had taken a break for lunch, embers from the neighborhood ignited the moss. By the time they had discovered that some of the moss was burning, the winds had picked up driving the fire out of control. The nearby storage shed full of dried moss was ignited and went up in flames, throwing embers everywhere in the town. The fire department equipment was no match for the rapidly spreading fire whose plumes of smoke reportedly could be seen as far north as Raleigh, North Carolina. Block after block of wooden buildings were destroyed, but miraculously only 7 people died. : "''By nightfall, the wind had died down, and the fire was running out of fuel. A total of 2,368 buildings and 466 acres of city territory had been burned to the ground. Twenty-three churches, ten hotels, and every single public building except one federal office structure was destroyed. National Guard troops rallied to the scene to preserve law and order, but the city itself was practically deserted. Nearly 10,000 people had lost their homes, and were forced to take up temporary residence in tents sent to Florida by the United States government.''[https://www.floridamemory.com/items/show/321980 The Great Jacksonville Fire of 1901] {{Image|file=LaVilla_Jacksonville_Florida_One_Place_Study-1.jpg |align=l |size=m |caption=View of Jacksonville harbor - Jacksonville, Florida. 1894. }} {{Image|file=LaVilla_Jacksonville_Florida_One_Place_Study-3.jpg |align=c |size=m |caption=City going up in smoke. }} {{Image|file=LaVilla_Jacksonville_Florida_One_Place_Study-2.jpg |align=c |size=m |caption=Looking down Forsyth Street at a devastated district after the fire of 1901. }} ===Population=== Population statistics vary by source: *In the 1880 census, the population in LaVilla was 1565, which included blacks and whites."United States Census, 1880," database with images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33S7-9YB8-89?cc=1417683&wc=XC3W-L29%3A1589395953%2C1589399648%2C1589396377%2C1589395006 : 24 December 2015), Florida > Duval > Precinct 7 > ED 31 > image 1 of 32; citing NARA microfilm publication T9, (National Archives and Records Administration, Washington, D.C., n.d.) *A graduate thesis compiled by a history graduate student, Patricia Drozd Kenney of the University of North Florida, in 1990 yielded the following results: ::{| border="1" class="sortable" !Population of LaVilla, by Race, 1870-1887 |- |Year ||Black*|| White|| Total |- |1870|| 831 (77.1) || 247 (22.9) ||1078 |- |1880|| 1541 (71.3) || 619 (28.7) || 2160 |- |1885**|| 866 (66.9) || 428 (33.l) || 1294 |- |1887+|| 849 (61.6) || 529 (38.4) || 1378 |} *Sources and Notes: U.S. Census Office, Ninth Census, 1870; U.S.Tenth Census, 1880; Florida Census, 1885; and Richard's Duplex Jacksonville Directory, 1887.

The river originates near the northern boundary of Rocky View County and the Town of Crossfield, and flows south through Airdrie and Calgary, joining the Bow River near the Calgary Zoo. :The names Nose Creek and Nose Hill had a unique origin coming from the Blackfoot Indian tribes who frequently camped in the area . It was customary for Indians to give places names according to topographical features. One theory suggests that because the Bow River flows on one side of Nose Hill and Nose Creek on the other that the protrusion of the hill was referred to as an "The Nose". Another myth about the origin of the name suggests that during a whiskey-induced brawl a Blackfoot man bit off the end of a Blackfoot woman's nose. The most likely explanation was given by Frances Fraser, a student of Indian lore, and by George H . Gooderham, former Indian agent to the Blackfoot, that a women who was found to be unfaithful to her husband might have her nose cut off as an example to the others.

[https://www.nosecreekpartnership.com/watershed Nose Creek Watershed] In the Calgary portion of the creek where it flows into the Bow River, the beauty of the wide valley was soon ruined by development. ('''N.B.''' More photos of the area can be seen by hitting "View All" on the right side of the page.) {{Image|file=Nose_Creek_Alberta_One_Place_Study-11.jpg |caption=Aerial View of Calgary by W. J. Oliver }} :The following description is from James H. Gray's book ''Red Lights on the Prairies: :''In the early days of settlement the valley of Nose Creek was one of the most beautiful of prairie streams. Once it had been a mighty river a half-mile wide and 100 feet deep. Now reduced to a babbling brook, it meandered through a lush valley where the grass grew waist high from its deep black loam. When the C.P.R. decided to build its branch line to Edmonton in 1891, it took the path of least resistance out of Calgary up the Nose Creek Valley. That was the end of the beauty spot. First a brewery, then a packing plant, a cooperage, and an incinerator discovered that the little stream would make a perfect sewer for their wastes. Around these plants the usual clusters of workmen's house sprang up and it was at the southern edge of the workmen's settlement that the whores from Riverside moved late in the (Chief) English regime.'' Gray, James H., ''Red Lights on the Prairies,'' Macmillan of Canada (Toronto, Ontario, Canada), 1971, p. 119 :Alan Zakrison discussed Nose Creek on his Facebook site called ''Old Calgary Sidewalk Stamps'': :''In 1888, the road around Tom Campbell Hill- then called Nose Creek Hill- was widened to provide better access to travellers on the north side of the river. But otherwise, the confluence of the Nose Creek and Bow River was a quiet and pastoral place until 1890, when crews arrived to begin work on the new Calgary-Edmonton Railway. A wooden bridge over the Bow was built, and tracks were laid on the east side of the meandering creek. The first siding north of the Bow would later be known as “Titian”, and would be sited where the tracks crossed the old trail to Blackfoot Crossing.'' Zakrison, Alan, ''Nose Creek," (published on Facebook through his site called Old Calgary Sidewalk Stamps) 7 March 2023 :''Businesses began to locate at the Nose Creek-Bow confluence, but they were not the sort that most people would want anywhere near their homes. In 1906, the Dominion Meat Company announced plans for a packing house, and a year later, the Golden West Brewing Company did the same. Associated industries- like abattoirs- followed shortly afterward, and a Winnipeg Oil plant opened at Titian siding in 1911. About 1912, just north of the brewery, a grain elevator was built. Further up the valley were market gardeners, who were mostly of Chinese ancestry.'' Zakrison, Alan, ''Nose Creek," (published on Facebook through his site called Old Calgary Sidewalk Stamps) 7 March 2023 :''About 1907, brothels first began to appear, since the area was still outside city limits. Many of the prostitutes who established themselves in the Nose Creek environs had moved there from other Calgary communities like the Langevin Bridge area in Riverside, or 6th Ave East downtown.'' Zakrison, Alan, ''Nose Creek," (published on Facebook through his site called Old Calgary Sidewalk Stamps) 7 March 2023 :Eventually the city dump was located in this area. But there were still homes nearby. In the 1970's the City began turning the valley into parkland. But only in a certain sense. Deerfoot Trail runs up the east side of the valley. And in the 3rd photograph, one can see the train running through. The Calgary Zoo parking lot and the new Telus Spark Science Centre are located in this area. The McInnis-Holloway Funeral Home established a memorial garden north of 8th Avenue, changing the prairie into a forest. Farther north is the Fox Hollow Golf Course. But at least there is lovely walking trail alongside the creek. :Some of Calgary's earliest settlers established ranches in this area. Mayor George Murdoch's spread would have been around the golf course. This becomes a pretty walking area. But closer to the Bow, the valley became out of sight, out of mind, somewhat beyond the pale until around 1970. There are steep slopes cutting the area off from Mayland Heights on the east and Bridgeland-Riverside to the west. It never was a defined neighborhood like those communities although the children of the area would have gone to school with the children of Bridgeland-Riverside. In 1901 there was a census district called Nose Creek but the area which it encompassed was vast, far beyond the valley, and this one-place study. ===Population=== ==Sources== *[https://www.nosecreekpartnership.com/watershed Nose Creek Watershed] *[https://www.facebook.com/groups/544848417336674/ Save Nose Creek], Facebook *[https://nosecreekvalleymuseum.com/ Nose Creek Valley Museum] *Alberta Electoral Boundaries Commission (February 2003).

My paternal grandfather, Rupert S. Rodriques, married into this Shaw family in the 1900s. This history of the estate encompasses the period of 1792-1839. The only known example of the first printed map of Ocho Rios (St. Ann, Jamaica) and the surrounding village of Shaw Park Estate is from an 1836 survey of Ocho Rios. The information below is taken directly from the record of a rare map sale. The source is: https://www.raremaps.com/gallery/detail/34466aj/a-plan-of-shaw-park-estate-in-the-parish-of-st-ann-county-maclure-macdonald-lithographers “The present map is an unrecorded plan of the Shaw Park Estate, a plantation which surrounded the village of Ocho Rios on the north coast of Jamaica. As such, it is the earliest known printed map to focus on Ocho Rios and its environs. The Shaw Park Estate was part of the vast land holdings in St. Ann's Parish that had been in the Shaw family since the late seventeenth-century. An especially well planned and landscaped property, it commanded excellent views of the harbour. Occupying almost 600 acres, it was primarily planted with sugar cane, along with groves of pimento. When the family patriarch John Shaw died in 1821, the property was left to his son-in-law, James Walker (1784-1844), a Scottish doctor who had married Shaw's daughter, Elizabeth Olivia Shaw. Walker attained prominence in his own right, being elected to the island's Legislative Assembly, representing St. Ann's. The site of Shaw Park figured prominently in the history of Jamaica. During the Spanish period, the area was called "Las Chorreras" (The Waterfalls), owing to the numerous cataracts formed as the rivers cascaded over the limestone ridge which backs the bay. This name was eventully corrupted by the English to become 'Ocho Rios'. One of these falls is the now famous Dunn's River Falls. The location of Shaw Park was notable as the site of the Battle of Las Chorreras (1657), where the English Colonel Edward D'Oyley defeated the last Spanish governor of Jamaica, Don Cristobal Arnaldo de Ysassi, which presaged the Spanish departure from the island. It was said that at the time that this map was produced, ordnance from the battle could still be seen amidst the cane fields. The Shaw Park Estate was the scene of a dramatic incident which transpired only a couple of years before the present map was drafted. It had been decreed that slavery was to be abolished throughout the British Empire on August 1, 1834. Following that date, the freed slaves were to be obliged to a system of apprenticeship for a period of four years, although the terms of this arrangement were (perhaps deliberately) left to be rather vague. This transition was relatively peaceful on most plantations, as the estate proprietors, who had themselves been granted financial compensation by the crown, agreed to pay thier workers some form of wages or support in kind. Walker had apprently made no such provision, and upon the stroke of emancipation, his workers immediately threw down their hoes, declaring that King William had 'made them free'. They then refused to resume their work unless they were paid. Walker was indignant, and a tense standoff ensued. He sent an express messanger to the capitial, Spanish Town, to request help from the governor, the Marquess of Sligo. The governor, in turn, dispatched a small force under Lt. Colonel Sir Henry Macleod, which sailed from Kingston aboard the HMS Rhadamanthus around the eastern part of the island, before landing at Ocho Rios. Macleod arrived to find a very serious situation, in which the former slaves were on the verge of open insurrection. Through a mixture of cojoling and coersion, Macleod managed to difuse the situation. Shaw Park continued to function as a sugar plantation until 1892, when its acreage switched to orange production destined for the American market. The present map is a very finely surveyed plan of a Jamaican estate, and provides a wealth of information on plantation life at the time of Emancipation. The estate is carefully divided into sectors, colored in an attractive blue wash. The various aspects of production correspond to the 'Reference' table located to the right of the map, which meticulously details land use by acre. All buildings and works are marked, as are the major roads, as one of the principal routes connecting the north and south coasts of Jamaica ran strait through Shaw Park. Walker evidently went to considerable expense to have his lands professionally surveyed, and even more extraordinarily went to the trouble of having it lithographed in Glasgow, a testament to the great value he placed on the plan. The present example is likely the only surviving copy, as the map would have had a practical use, making it especially vulnerable to wear and damage in a tropical climate. The excellent condition of the present example, which appeared in Scotland, suggests that it was likely secreted away for safe keeping by an associate of Walker in his native land. The village of Ocho Rios occupies the upper center of the map. While consisting of only a cluster of wharehouses and fishing shacks, it was nevertheless an important local center of comemrce. The bay's fine anchorage and the abundance of fresh water, ensured that it was a popular haven for trading vessels and naval frigates. Importantly, the present plan is the earliest printed map to focus on Ocho Rios and its envirions. Ocho Rios remained a sleepy agrarian and fishing community until the 1950s when tourists began to flock to the area, attracted by its fine beaches, waterfalls and the botanical phenominon 'Fern Gully', which lines the road leading into the interior. Much of Shaw Park was eventually sold off to make way for the expansion of the town, although the core of the estate now hosts a botanical garden which commands magnficent views of the bay.” '''Present Day Shaw Park Botanical Gardens''' The Shaw Park gardens is still operational today (2024).

The Property was in the family at least until 1920 when Timothy O'Leary left it to his son and grandsons. Will of Timothy O'Leary of Small Point 1920. While the connection still needs to be found, a Richard Leary of Harbour Grace, a bootmaker, witnessed the will of James Reynolds in 1834. James, who lived near Timothy Leary, had originally been apprenticed as a bookmaker in 1769 (See the Profile of James Reynolds in the Mulley's Cove One Place Study). Could Richard be Timothy's son?

I hope that gathering more information about where they lived, who their neighbors were, etc. will lead me to find the location in Ireland that they came from. *Families who lived in or around Turks Row for several generations in the 1800s: :Murphy: 17 Turks Row (1851), 8 Morby's Yard (1861), 18 Turks Row (1871), 13 Franklins Row (1881), 142 Pimlico Road (1891) :Nutley: 18 Turks Row (1871), 142 Pimlico Road (1881) *How do I incorporate information on the families that lived in Turks Row: names, relationships, census data, events? ==Sources==

This will include excerpts from a number of the plentiful sources found on-line with url links. ''"Ebenezer Zane was a Virginian who established Fort Henry on the Ohio River in 1769, the site of what was to become the city of Wheeling, Virginia, now West Virginia. Zane and his brothers defended Fort Henry during the Revolutionary War, and he was given the commission of Colonel by the Virginia Militia for the duration of the war. After the creation of the Northwest Territory in 1787, Zane ended up with control of both sides of the most advantageous ferry crossing site on the Ohio River for emigrants moving into the new Northwest Territory. Most locals still referred to the area as “the Ohio Country,” which became the focus of the first western land speculations in America. Initially, the Ohio Country was promoted by private land developers with large tracts of land along the Ohio River. After some ten years experimenting with a new land surveying system, the federal government got into the land sales business in a big way. The first federal tracts of land opened for public land sales and settlement in 1796. As a result of his strategic location near the first public land sales, and with a monopoly on ferry crossings, Ebenezer Zane would soon become a wealthy man.
''Colonel Ebenezer Zane was known for another accomplishment as well. He was in charge of the construction of the first wagon road into the Ohio Country, which became known as Zane’s Trace. In 1796, Zane made a deal with the U.S. Federal Government to construct a road, beginning at his ferry landing across from Wheeling, and heading west into the public land areas of what was to become the state of Ohio. Zane said he would build the road from Wheeling, Virginia to Limestone (now Maysville, KY), in exchange for land grants where the new road intersected the Muskingum, Hocking, and Scioto rivers."''
This article was written by Bill Dollarhide.
https://www.genealogyblog.com/?p=18354 ''"Ebenezer Zane, of Danish descent, was born in Virginia's Potomac River Valley on October 7, 1747. In 1796 Ebenezer, his wife, the former Elizabeth McCulloch, and his siblings: Silas, Jonathan, Andrew, Isaac, and Elizabeth, settled at present Wheeling, West Virginia, and built Fort Fincastle. Ebenezer later renamed kit Fort Henry (renamed in 1771 to honor Virginia's governor, Patrick Henry).
''In 1777 and in 1782 Fort Henry withstood major attacks by both the British and their Indian allies. One of those battles is where Samuel McCulloch and his horse survived a leap off a cliff to evade the Indians (Even the Indians cheered his daring leap). One of those battles is also where Elizabeth Zane made her daring run from the fort to a nearby blockhouse to fetch more powder and lead. Other residents of this community were: Lydia Boggs, Hamilton Kerr (or Carr), the McCulloch brothers, Abraham, George, Samuel, and John; and the Wetzel brothers: Martin, Jacob and Lewis.
''The Zanes were all very knowledgeable in wood-lore and in Indian cultures. Isaac Zane was captured and then adopted by the Wyandot tribe. He later married Myeerah, daughter of Wyandot Chief Tarhe (the Crain). Isaac later assisted the American government with peace negotiations and was awarded some land near present-day Zanesfield in Logan County.
Ebenezer's great-grandson was the famous western writer, Zane Grey (nee Pearl Zane Gray). His first three novels, "Betty Zane," "Spirit of the Border," and "The Last Trail," were fictionalized accounts of the Zane family at Fort Henry during the American Revolution.
''Colonel Zane, who finished a route from Pittsburgh to Wheeling, proposed a route that would start across the Ohio River from Wheeling and would travel to Limestone (now Maysville), Kentucky. Not only would this route be used for the new homesteaders, it could also be used as a mail route."''
By Gordon Mitchell
https://freepages.rootsweb.com/~harringtonfamilies/history/ZaneTrc.htm ''"In 1796, Ebenezer Zane petitioned Congress for permission to build a road through the region, with the stipulation that the American government would grant him land where the road crossed the Muskingum, Hockhocking, and Scioto Rivers. The government agreed to his terms and required the road to be open by January 1, 1797. It was widely believed that a road would encourage increased trade and settlement in Ohio.
''Zane's Trace was more a trail than a road. Zane used existing American Indian trails wherever possible and cut down trees to create a primitive path. Tomepomehala, a member of the Shawnee tribe, guided Zane and helped him plot the road."''
https://ohiohistorycentral.org/w/Zane%27s_Trace ''"In 1796, Ebenezer Zane petitioned Congress for permission to build a trail through the Ohio Territory that would be suitable for a horse and rider. In exchange for doing this the federal government would grant him land where the road crossed the Muskingum, Hockhocking (today is the Hocking River), and Scioto Rivers and pay for his surveying costs. The government agreed to the terms and required the trail to be open by January 1, 1797.
''As soon as Congress authorized the construction of the road, Ebenezer Zane and his brother Jonathan, along with John McIntire (Ebenezer's brother-in-law) began clearing the land. They often followed existing Indian trails or paths that had also been used by former military expeditions."''
http://touringohio.com/history/zane-trace.html {{Image|file=Zane_s_Trace_-_Road_through_Ohio-1.jpg |caption=Zane's Trace Map }} ''"After serving in the Continental Army in the American Revolutionary War, Col. Zane traveled to Washington, D.C., in early 1796. He petitioned Congress for money to finance the construction of a road to encourage settlement in the Northwest Territory and speed up travel times to Kentucky. Zane would profit by construction of the road, both because he owned most of the land at its starting point of Wheeling, and also because he intended to buy tracts of land along the route (see below). Nonetheless, it was in the national interest for such a road to be built. Congress approved a contract financing the project in May 1796.
''Col. Zane was assisted in overseeing the construction by his brother Jonathan Zane and his son-in-law John McIntire, as well as by a Native American guide Tomepomehala.''"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zane%27s_Trace ''"With the help of his brother, Jonathan, whose knowledge of the country was immense due to years of service and exploration in the area, his son-in-law John McIntire, John Green, William McCulloch, Ebenezer Ryan, Joseph Worley, Levi Williams, and an Indian guide, Tomepomehala, the overwhelming task of building the road began. There were undoubtedly others in the corps, forgotten or unmentioned by history. Blazing trees to mark the route and clearing underbrush where it was necessary consumed more than the next year. The "Trace" would not be completed until mid- late 1797, well after the Jan 1797 deadline set by Congress."''

Please add similar sketch and link for any and all other members of this expedition if you know of any. Colonel [[Zane-8|Ebenezer Zane (1747-1811)]] (1747-1811)
''"Ebenezer Zane was born in the Potomac Valley, October 7th, 1747. He had four brothers and one sister. 1 The assertion that Ebenezer Zane together with two brothers, was a captive of the Wyandottes for thirteen years has not sufficient evidence behind it to give it credence. His wife was Elizabeth McCulloch. She was a sister of the McCulloch brothers who were no less renowned as frontiersmen than the Zane family. It is said that she was in every way an estimable helpmeet to her husband.
''No better man than Ebenezer Zane could have been found to cut a road through Ohio. His influence in the new settlement, his wealth and his general knowledge of the country made him the logical man to assume the responsibility. His brother Jonathan was his right hand man in everything he did, and this was a great aid to him in all of his undertakings.

''"The experience of Jonathan Zane stood him well in hand, in the laying out of the road. The route determined upon was the result of his advice. However Jonathan Zane was not the originator of the route, in its entirety, for the Indian had gone over practically the same ground, that the Trace afterward covered. The work of blazing trees and cutting out small undergrowth and removing fallen timber began in the summer of 1796. ''The patent transferring the three mile tracts to Ebenezer Zane was not made by President John Adams until February 14th, 1800. But the survey of the Muskingum tract was made by the order of Rufus Putnam in October, 1797. Col. Zane gave this tract to his brother Jonathan and his son-in-law McIntire for their services in opening 1 the "Trace." The deed transferring the same was signed by Ebenezer Zane and Elizabeth Zane, his wife, on the 19th of December, 1800, for the consideration of one hundred dollars. Jonathan Zane and McIntire in turn, leased it to William McCullough2 and Henry Crooks for five years on condition that they move their families and provide a ferry. In the fall of 1797 they arrived and thus became the first settlers at Zanesville. Zanesville was formally laid out by Jonathan Zane and John McIntire, April 28th, 1802."''

''"If Col. Zane could not have accomplished the work he did without the help of his brother Jonathan, it is equally certain that he would have done much less had he not been assisted by his son-in-law John McIntire, who now appears as a factor in the achievements of Ebenezer Zane.
''Born of Scotch parentage in Alexandria, Virginia, 1759, John McIntire came to Wheeling in the capacity of a shoemaker. Possessed of a handsome figure and much native ability and address, he succeeded in winning the affections of Sarah Zane, the second daughter of the Wheeling proprietor. She was at this time but fifteen years of age and over twenty years younger than her gallant admirer. The old adage of "true love running not smooth," was verified in this case to an ultimate certainty. For Col. Zane and his wife opposed the match with great vehemence. But the result is the same old story. They were married in spite of parental objection. During the wedding festivities, the father-in-law absented himself, by taking a hunting trip. The mother-in-law used her slipper over the shoulders of her daughter to show her disapproval. It is said that sometime after the marriage Col. Zane in passing the cabin of McIntire saw his daughter chopping wood. He did not hesitate to remind her that if she had stayed at home she would not have had to do such manual labor. But everything was righted before long and McIntire became a favorite of Mr. Zane. Now that he had the contract to cut a road through the Ohio woods, it was but natural that he should leave the real work to this son-in-law and his brother Jonathan.
''It is said that John McIntire met with quite a severe accident on the route between Zanesville and Limestone. While loading his gun the stock slipped off a root and the contents went through his right hand crippling it for life."''

Merge of McCulloch-47 and McCulloch-991 completed.
''"Of the daughters, Nancy, the oldest, had made a visit, about the date of 1796-7, to her grandfather, Tarhe, who was at the time living in the vicinity of Lancaster, Ohio, and while there had met her fate, a happy one, in the person of William McColloch, who was assisting her uncle, Ebenezer Zane, Sr., in cutting the early thoroughfare known as "Zane Trace." William and Nancy were married in 1797, and did not come to Zane's Town to live until 1803, when their son, Noah Zane McColloch, was five years old. (Little Noah was already distinguished as the first white child born in the village of Zanesville.) It may be told that the Zanes and McCollochs had long been neighbors and friends in the Culpeper vicinity in Virginia, and that the marriage of William and Nancy was the second tie of wedlock between different branches of the family. Solomon and Samuel McCulloch arrived to settle permanently in Zane's Town in the same year (1803), bringing their families."''

''"The party consisted of Jonathan Zane, John McIntire, John Green, William McCulloch, Ebenezer Ryan and several others whose names are not known. '''John Green''' had charge of the pack horses, that carried the tent and provisions. Being also a boot and shoemaker and not used to handling the ax, he was selected to kill game of which there was an abundance. He was also the cook and general service man of the party. At night a fire was built to keep away beasts of prey and two men were kept on watch for fear that a straggling party of Indians might attack them. But there was no need of this precaution for the spirit of the Ohio Indian had been broken by Mad Anthony two years before at Fallen Timbers and the chances for attack were remote."''

Thus Zane's Trace became the first federally funded road in Ohio. ''"Zane's Tracts were three parcels of land in the Northwest Territory of the United States, later Ohio, that the federal government granted to Ebenezer Zane late in the 18th century, as compensation for establishing a road with ferry service over several rivers.''"
