From: <merle@mail.fea.net> on another website. I didn't write it so can't vouch for it. Just thought I'd throw it out there for us to chew on: In a world like our ancsetors lived in, in which surnames were viewed in the Gaelic side of things much as social security numbers (a way for the gov. to keep track of you to tax you), they changed frequently. There was no tradition of having one surname all your life. How English! If you wonder where I learn all this strange stuff, check out the introductory lectures to these surname books. They are all the genealogy libraries. The one in Black "Surnames of Scotland" is very interesting and even funny. It corrects a lot of misconceptions we tend to have about surnames. Anyhow, there are lots of exceptions. Genealogy is the study of one specific family. You don't particularly care about the others.The opposite of surnames. The clan-thing in Scotland is very much a modern development largely for the purpose of making money. So nowadays there are surname books and if you have that surname you can buy a nice necktie in that tartan or if you are really loaded in dough, you can buy a whole outfit. Actually most Scotsmen never had a clan. That's kind of like expecting all Americans to have a tribe. Nope, Indian-Americans have tribes, and in Scotland Highlanders had clans. But the clans were not exactly based on kinship. Most highlanders used a patrynomic - ie their father's name, and if some English person showed up from Edinburgh demanding a surname, they might give the name of the Laird. If they moved to another hill and had a new laird, they gave the new lairdie's name. If they got into trouble and wanted to lay low, they changed the surname they used. This practice drove the English to distraction as they liked people to have one name. They eventually got their way, didn't they? In Black "Surnames of Scotland" a story is recounted of Sir Walter Scott going on a highland hunting expedition and encountering a man he'd met before, only this time he was introduced with a different surname. Sir Walter made enquiries and the man explained he'd moved to the other side of the hill. It seemed as odd to Sir Walter (a lowlander from a border 'clan') as it would to us. When the Campbells were given their land in Argyll, suddenly the parish records were full of little Campbells being baptised. What happened to the McDonalds? Were they all killed off? Nope, those had been little McDonalds the week before. The same essay in Black talks about how people seem to think there was some village that produced crops of people of a certain surname. But actually, surnames often originated in various spots. So I sure wouldn't bet one cent that all of the same surname actually came from the same place in Scotland, though I am sure the clan there would assure you otherwise if they thought you wanted to hear that. To do genealogy we need to be very suspicious, like Columbo, and check all our clues.

Surnames: ARMSTRONG Classification: Obituary Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/kQB.2ACIB/2509 Message Board Post: "The Kansas City Journal" (Missouri) Thursday, March 24, 1881 CRUSHED BY A LOCOMOTIVE. A terrible accident occurred, Tuesday, at Belleview, Kansas, by which Alexander ARMSTRONG, a brakeman on the Kansas division of the Union Pacific railroad, came to his death. It seems that the train was switching near Belleview and that ARMSTRONG, in endeavoring to uncouple the engine from the front car, fell under the wheels and was crushed to death by the tender and the rear driving wheel. The remains were brought to Kansas City and an inquest held at Carlat's, yesterday, at which a verdict was rendered in accordance with the above facts. The deceased lived near the Kaw Valley hotel in West Kansas, was a single man, of good habits, and universally liked by his associates. He leaves a brother and sister to mourn his untimely death. "The Kansas City Times" (Missouri) Thursday, March 24, 1881 BRAKEMAN KILLED. About 8 o'clock Tuesday night, Alexander ARMSTRONG, a brakeman employed by the Kansas Pacific railway, was instantly killed while coupling cars near Belleview. ARMSTRONG's home was on Genessee street between Eleventh and Twelfth, in this city, where his mother resided, and there the remains will be taken today. It seems the poor fellow was coupling cars and in some way slipped and was cut in two by the engine. He was working between the engine and the first car behind, at the time, and did not have time to give even a warning cry before the life was crushed out of him. The body was brought in on the passenger train yesterday morning and taken to Carlat's, where Coroner Day at once held an inquest, the verdict being that deceased came to his death while coupling cars. "The Kansas City Times" (Missouri) Friday, March 25, 1881 The funeral of Alex. ARMSTRONG, the brakeman killed on the U. P. road last Tuesday, was largely attended yesterday from his sister's residence in West Kansas. (I have no connection with this family.) neirbo

Some of you may already have all this information, but just in case. Lots more information too. From: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~merle/History/index.htm "...They continued to migrate westward to New York (Newburgh area) and beyond to Pennsylvania. Then they joined other newcomers in the Great Migration southward and westward. The first five ships who brought Ulster immigrants are know as the Five Ships. Pennsylvania Though a Quaker, William Penn, the proprietor of the Pennsylvania colony, provided freedom of religion in his great experiment. It wasn't long till it was the destination of choice for all kinds of European dissenters, especially Germans. Philadelphia was an important port. However many also came through New Jersey and various Delaware ports. They first settled in Lancaster County but soon began moving westward and southward since they didn't like living with the Germans who were also moving to Pennsylvania. In Pennsylvania they clustered on the frontiers where they bore the brunt of the Indian massacres during the French and Indian War in the 1750's. The failure of the nonviolent Quaker government to provide protection caused great bitterness. Only a few hardy souls survived the French and Indian Wars and the American Revolution west of the Alleghenies. After the Revolution, though thousands poured west to Pittsburgh and beyond. Before the Revolution, outgrowing their cradle in Lancaster County, many treked southward down the great Philadelphia Wagon Road to the Virginias and the Carolinas. Southern Colonies The Scotch-Irish moving down the Wagon Road from the north were joined by countrymen arriving from Ulster. They moved southward and settled the inland Great Valley of Virginia first, then moved to the hilly Carolina Piedmont area to the south. In the 1750's and later the Scotch-Irish were still arriving via Philadelphia and then traveling by land up to 700 miles southwest to the Carolinas. However they also entered through Charleston though almost none are known to have entered ports in North Carolina. The South Carolina colony had developed a plan in 1731 to increase immigration by offering poor Protestants land. It gave 100 acres were given to the head of the family and 50 to each additional family member. The grantees had to pay quit rent two years after receiving the grant. Then he was entitled to another grant on the same terms. The grantee had to clear and cultivate the land at a rate of 3 acres out of every 100 acres per year. In 1752 grantees were provided with tools and provisions. In 1761 the colony offered to pay passage for these poor Protestants but required a certificate from their church testifying that they were of good character. These terms expired in 1768 though the Council ruled that poor Protestants would still be given land free of charge but still were charged various fees. They also had to travel to the land and to appear in person before the Governor in Council to request land. Thus the names of grantees appear in the Council records. Families from Ulster and elsewhere (Pennsylvania, Scotland) began to flood in in the 1750s, while still more came in the 1760s and even after the bounties expired. They continued to come after the Revolution. Note that some Catholics also came from Ireland, including a few that were granted land though their religion was known. The most well known group was that of the Rev. William Martin, arriving on five ships in 1772. In Ulster he had ministered to scattered Reformed Presbyterian societies on either side of the Bann till 1760, when they were divided, and he chose the Kellswater congregation in Antrim. Conditions worsened in Ireland with higher taxes and economic hardship. He received a "Call" to go to Carolina following violence related to high rents. After he preached a sermon calling his congregation to join him, some 467 families did so in five ships. His leaving destroyed the fledgling Reformed Presbyterian Presbytery in Ireland. The Rev was the first Covenanting minister in South Carolina, serving at the Catholic (universal) Presbyterian Church on Rocky Creek. All kinds of Presbyterians worshipped there in common: Associates, Covenanters, Burgher, Anti Burgher, Seceders. He was a patriot in the American Revolution. His families settled throughout South Carolina..."
