Re William Ronald who owned Bennals in the 1700s - our family stories say JJ Ronald was related to them, but we have never been able to find the connection. From what I can tell from reading, they were the only land-owning Ronalds in Ayrshire, but unfortunately, William Ronald of Bennals went bankrupt in 1789. There are some notes from our Ronald history: For some years the the poet Robert Burns lived and worked for his father on Lochlea farm, not too far from the Bennals farm. In 1780, Robert Burns wrote the poem "The Ronalds of the Bennals". The two woman mentioned in this poem were Jean and Anne Ronald, two of William's daughters, considered several of the most desirable belles of the district. Robert Burns' brother Gilbert wooed Jean who rejected him due to his poverty. Robert later took an interest in Anne but it is said that he was too proud to afford her a chance of refusing him. In the poem, Burns satirizes William Ronald's wealth. In later correspondence, Burns appears to relish the misfortune of William's bankruptcy. After William Ronald went bankrupt in 1789. Burns wrote to his brother William: "'Mr. Ronald is bankrupt. You will easily guess, that from his insolent vanity in his sunshine of life, he will feel a little retaliation from those who thought themselves eclipsed by him, for, poor fellow, I do not think he ever intentionally injured anyone. I might indeed perhaps except his wife, whom he certainly has used very ill..'" Another family story is that as a youth, John James Ronald worked as a ploughboy for Robbie burns, about the time R Burns wrote "To a Field Mouse". I believe there was some back and forth between the Ronalds of Mauchline and Kilmarnock. R Burns worked on his father's leased farm, lochlea, from 1777-1784, then he and his brother rented Mossgiel farm. Both were near Tarbolton and mauchline. A William Ronald worked for R Burns father at Lochlea for some time - maybe JJ Ronald's uncle - maybe that was the connection. I think the connection between William Ronald of Bennals and JJ Ronald was not too distant - perhaps cousins, because of the similarity in the names - their children's names are almost identical. The scottish custom was to name the first daughter and second son after the wife's parents, and the first son and second daughter after the father's parents.

Hi Jim. It sounds that way to me. The closest word to "dentes" in the Scots Dictionary is "dent," which means either "a mouldy smell" or "tough clay or soft claystone." I don't think Maren ate dirt exactly, but the dictionary also says "dent" originated with an English word which meant "sooty coal." If the toxicity of inhaled coal dust was known in 1653, I wonder if Maren was hoping that ingesting it would be toxic to the child. Being carbon, coal would probably be inert if ingested, but desperate people sometimes grasp at straws. -----Original Message----- From: ayrshire-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:ayrshire-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Jim Bundy Sent: Sunday, March 21, 2010 4:29 PM To: Rootsweb Ayrshire Subject: [AYR] Kilmarnock Kirk Session Minutes, note 65 Hi Listers, I have a question re this page: Am I correct in thinking that Maren was trying to abort the chyld?

Hi Loretta and John, I appreciate both your thoughts on this. John, I really tried to fit what what I was seeing could have been "Haynous" and that would make sense, but in looking at a website re Secretary Hand formation of the letters, I just can't see it. Of course, he may have just misspelled it. Or something Latin, which is beyond me. Re "base met", you interpretation of "base intention" also makes sense (whether or not he had no base intentions :) Some days I just have to go through it as best I can, and then pick it up the next day and view it fresh. That often helps. Loretta, your interpretation certainly makes sense also. Having read a lot in different histories, I know that women have tried all kinds of dangerous substances to terminate a pregnancy in the past, often with tragic results. I'll be interested to see if there's any follow-up in this case before the Kirk Session.

Hi Jim, It certainly sounds as if Marian Neill tried to abort her child, though I can't guess what the "dentes" were that she swallowed - some kind of herb, potion or drink? As for "Johne Smith had no base met" is she or the session perhaps saying that he had no "base" intention - i.e. wasn't part of the abortion scheme? As for the next phrase, it may be that the session finds her sin “heinous” and “tables” her punishment for further consideration? Having seen a couple of samples of the writing you're dealing with, Jim, it's wonderful how you manage to pick the sense out of it all.

But they have to be related somehow. They were Farmers and not tenant farmers either. Some of the Ronalds owned Bennels farm which at its peak was about 200 acres. It stayed in the family until 1885 according to the author of the biography of Robert Burns. This thick book I've had for 20 years and never getting round to reading it. Ronalds were more prosperous than the Burns and apparently Burns wanted to court Wiliam Ronald's (b abt 1725) daughter Anne but would not approach her for fear of being rebuffed because of the class differences. So there is a poem written about her. But that is another lot of Ronalds I need to get my head around. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Suzanne, I don't know anything about Robert Kennedy's descendants, but I can tell you that the father of the Robert Kennedy of Daljarrock who is found in National Archives of Scotland records dated 1754-57 was William Kennedy of Daljarrock, who died sometime before 13 September 1750. Robert's mother is unknown to me, partly because she predeceased William and partly because my research is not of the Kennedys but of the Linns. William's second wife, Agnes Linn, was a daughter of Fergus Linn of Larg, Wigtownshire. The Linns of Larg had clear connections to the Linns/Lynns of Ayrshire. While William and Agnes apparently had no children, I can offer some notes on William and Robert Kennedy of Daljarrock (also spelled Dalljarrock, Daljarroch, Daljarnock, Dalgarnock, and Daljanock). 1750 September 13 - A testament dative and inventory for William Kennedy of Daljarroch, parish of Colmonell, was entered in the Glasgow Commissary Court [228:CC9/7/61]. 1754 March 15 - Elizabeth Lin, daughter of the deceased Fergus Lin of Little Large, executed a Heritable bond to Robert Kennedy of Dalgarnock on her sixth part of the lands thereof; following with sasine in favour of said Robert on 30 March [224:GD135/956]. 1754 March 21 - Agnes Linn or Lin, widow of William Kennedy of Dalljarrock, gave a receipt and discharge in favour of Robert Kennedy of Daljarrock, his son, for her share of household plenishing as relict; the witnesses included Alexander Kennedy, her son [224:GD1/857/1] The language in the third item clearly identifies Robert as "his son" and not "her son." The language used in a fourth and fifth transaction makes this distinction even clearer ... 1755 May 29 - Agnes Lin, relict of William Kennedy of Daljanock and daughter of the deceased Fergus Lin in Little Larg and Katharine McCubine, his spouse, made disposition for her share and portion of Little Larg to Robert Kennedy now of Daljarnock, eldest surviving son of said deceased William Kennedy [224:GD135/957]. 1757 November 20 - John, Earl of Cassillis, obligated himself to Robert Kennedy of Daljarrock, stating that he had retained the sum of 8,000 merks Scots from the purchase price of the lands of Nether Kilmore, which had been disponed to him by Robert, to satisfy the liferent annuity of Agnes Linn, relict of William Kennedy of Daljarrock, father of the said Robert, and binding himself to pay 400 merks Scots to the said Agnes yearly and 8,000 merks to the said Robert after her death [224:GD25/8/1282c].

Hi, Just wondering if the Chelsea records give any more info than would be obtained from "Soldiers Papers". I have the latter for my guy discharged 1846 and includes medical (hair/eye col. complexion etc, reason for discharge) attestation for regiment etc about 8 pages in all. Signed with an "x" on joining up and rudimentary mis-spelled signature on discharge. Anyone got both sets to compare?

I agree with Jeremy's comments. One great grandfather had 8 children with my great grandmother between 1870 and May 1893 when she died. He then remarried in November 1893 and had another 8 children that I know of with his second wife between 1893 and 1906. Another Irish grandparent had 2 children in Ireland pre 1835 and then remarried in Australia in 1851 and went on to have another 12 children with the last born when my g grandfather was in his 70s. Also I have a friend who is an aunt to a nephew who is older than she is. She is the youngest of the family and her nephew is her oldest sister's child. There is over 18 year difference between the birth of the two sisters. Another friend is one of 13 children and the youngest child was born 25 years after the oldest. Anne

Did he not have a daughter Mary who married Samual Dunlop? She was born 20 April 1794. And could J J be the father of Claude Alexander Ronald b 1790? I tell you why. On the records it shows that Claudes parents were James R born 1735 died 1806 and he was a 'labouring man' in Ayrshire. His wife was Elizabeth Kay b 1734.But that would make her 55 yrs old when she gave birth to Claude. So that is why I am wondering.

This will allow you to find them in a census and go further back on the family tree. Jo-Ann Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Are you in Agnes Stewarts line? I have her birth certificate. I haven't been working with the tree much lately but you've got me sorting through my stuff again! I do have some information on John Dixon's family if you need it. Hope to hear from you. Lynn Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I have missed 2 recordings of "Digging up ypur roots" jan/Feb 2010 am trying to find them as WMV recordings podcasts. I am missing Part1, aired about 4 Jan 2011 Part6, aired about 8 Feb 2010 Not sure what the titles were, one might have been something to do with European roots? I have Migration, death, Criminal Anc, Military, Female anc, and Colourful anc. If you can help I really appreciate it. I just discovered these in Jan, but new to podcasts. If you know of any others please let me know. Or maybe pass on my request. Thank you Eliz'th Argall-Andrews Somewhere, Nova Scotia, Canada Women are Angels.
