    1. Re: [GLENDAY] GLENDAY, WATSON (BUTCHART,LINDSAY and others) in Rattray,Missouri, Dundee
    2. Douglas -- I was really interested in your email. I have a copy of Peter Glenday's will, plus numerous letters that Anne Glenday Durfee wrote to Helen Butchart, which were returned to Anne Durfee Gauss in the early 20th century by Ada Butchart. I just haven't gotten around to them yet. This will encourage me to finish at least scanning the Gauss stuff so I can start on the Lindsay/Glenday/Durfee stuff. If I get too out of order, I will be hopelessly lost. Too bad I have to make a living. It really interferes with my hobbies! Seriously now, folks..... There are also a couple of letters written by some of the Glenday brothers to Peter Glenday early on. One of them, I can't remember which, had such dreadful handwriting that I became discouraged. It was even worse when they cross-wrote to save on paper -- OK if they had good writing, a nightmare if they didn't. -- Susan Susan D.

    1. [GLENDAY] GLENDAY, WATSON (BUTCHART,LINDSAY and others) in Rattray,Missouri, Dundee
    2. Subj: GLENDAY, WATSON, (BUTCHART,LINDSAY and others)in Rattray,Missouri, Dundee Date: 20/08/01 To: <A HREF="mailto:ANGUS-L-@rootsweb.com">ANGUS-L@rootsweb.com</A>, <A HREF="mailto:GLENDAY-L-@rootsweb.com">GLENDAY-L@rootsweb.com</A>, <A HREF="mailto:PERTHSHIRE-L-@rootsweb.com">PERTHSHIRE-L@rootsweb.com</A> Janet GLENDAY was christened 30 May, 1802 in Alyth to Peter GLENDAY and Eliz.ANDERSON. This information is taken from the IGI. I have not seen the OPR entry but I would expect it to record that this birth was "in fornication" because, two months earlier, on 14 Mar 1802 Peter GLENDAY had married Ann LINDSAY in Alyth. Peter GLENDAY and Ann LINDSAY had five children and in 1817 they emigrated to St. Charles, Missouri. In her excellent web site, Susan Chambless ( <A HREF="http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~schmblss/home/BlackBook/LindsayGlendayDurfeeSummary.html">Lindsay Glenday Durfee Summary</A> ) has reproduced a letter written in 1817 from Peter to his father in Scotland telling of their journey and their life in USA. This letter includes "......Give my respects to Andrew and Isabel Glenday.................Not forgetting my daughter and John Ogilvy's family, Marget White and her daughters and Peter Adamson. Be so good as let all these friends of mine see this letter........" The 'daughter' referred to in Scotland was presumably his illegitimate daughter, Janet GLENDAY who may have been brought up by the family at home. She would then be aged 15. When she was 27, on 23 Feb 1829 in Dundee she married Thomas WATSON, cabinetmaker having first had a son, Thomas WATSON, born in Dundee on 25 Nov 1828. The OPR entry for the marriage describes Janet as 'daughter of Will Glenday, Vintner, Rattray' - a Vintner being a wine merchant. They had four other children including Peter Glenday Watson and Elizabeth Anderson Watson, being named after Janet GLENDAY's parents - this serves to confirm that she was the daughter of Peter and the name Will. given in the OPR for her father was a slip by Janet or the Clerk. In 1821, Anne LINDSAY died in St. Charles, Missouri and in 1823 Peter or Patrick GLENDAY returned to Scotland with his elder daughter, Helen, and became an Inn Keeper in Rattray. This could certainly correspond with the occupation of Vintner given for Janet's father when she married Thomas Watson. Susan Chambless has given extracts from a "Certified Copy of Trust Disposition and Settlement by Patrick Glenday" which was "......presented at Perth, 11 November 1836 ....by William Johnston, Writer in Blairgowrie ". The document, of 28 pages, describes his property, including three small houses in the west end of Kerrymuir and land in the Westfields of Rattray and also by the lands of Craighall. It also describes his children, being three sons in Missouri or elsewhere, daughter Ann in Missouri (by then widowed) and daughter Helen residing in New Rattray. Janet Glenday, wife of Thomas Watson of Dundee, is also mentioned. This Trust Disposition was presented at Perth after Patrick GLENDAY died on 16 October 1836 and was buried in Rattray Churchyard. His tombstone describes him as the first feuar in New Rattray. He was aged 59 so had been born about 1777. Also inscribed on the tombstone are deaths of : Wife Anne LINDSAY, died St. Charles, Missouri 3 November 1821 aged 42 (born about 1779) Daughter Helen, died 20 May 1900 aged 96. Her husband was: John BUTCHART, builder, died 6 April 1884 aged 78 and their son was: Patrick James BUTCHART, died 14 December 1912 aged 68 (wife Mary Ann Burns, died 18 April 1926 aged 83 and daughter Adamina Mary died 18 June 1930). In the 1881 Census, William GLENDAY (born about 1826, Blairgowrie) and his wife, Janet DOUGLAS were living in Coupar Angus with their children including James Patrick Butchart GLENDAY who been born at Blairgowrie on 17 March 1864. This William GLENDAY was therefore most probably a relative of Peter/Patrick GLENDAY and his daughter, Helen, mother of Patrick James BUTCHART. Was William, born about 1826, a son of the Andrew and Isabel GLENDAY to whom Peter Glenday had sent his respects in his 1817 letter to his father, James GLENDAY? An Andrew GLENDAY had married Elizabeth or Betty Clark in 1808 in Dundee (and Isabel and Elizabeth were often interchanged as were Peter and Patrick). Was Andrew a brother of Peter ? Reverting to Janet GLENDAY and Thomas WATSON and their family in Dundee : Deborah Penman WATSON , born 17 February 1833 died 12 February 1834 aged 1 year. Thomas WATSON, the father, died of fever 8 January 1837 aged 29 leaving his widow and young family. Peter Glenday WATSON born 22 August 1836 died of fever 17 February 1837 aged 6 months. In the 1841 Census, the family was : Jess WATSON 35 weaver (Janet GLENDAY, daughter of Peter GLENDAY and Elizabeth ANDERSON) Thomas 10 (Thomas WATSON b.25 Nov 1828) Elizabeth 10 (Elizabeth Anderson WATSON c.10 Apr 1831) Jean 5 (Jean McKay WATSON b.19 Dec 1834) On 4th November 1850 Jess WATSON. nee GLENDAY died of Typhus Fever (Dundee was a very unhealthy place in the first half of the 1800s). On 26 August 1854 in Dundee, a Thomas WATSON married Mary Angus MORRIS, daughter of Peter MORRIS, baker of Dundee. They were my wife's great grandparents and Thomas went on to become Manager of the Ladywell Calender in Dundee. We cannot yet prove that this Thomas WATSON was the son of Thomas WATSON and Janet GLENDAY but there is a strong possibility. If anyone can "prove" that Thomas WATSON, son of Thomas Watson and Janet GLENDAY, is their forebear and not that of my wife, or has any knowledge of these families I would be delighted to hear from them.

    3. I have heard of the name of Mary and Thomas Glendy but they are not in the Glenda/Glendy cemetery. Does anyone recall seeing or have any information on Thomas and Mary Glendy they probably was married in Knox County, Ohio or St. Francois County, Missouri. At least one of them must have passed away between 1836 and 1847. in Farmington, Missouri and is buried at the Glenda Cemetery. I'm descendended from Philip & Elizabeth Zolman. they owned the land at one time & I believe established what is known Glendy Cemetery in Farmington.. There son Basil Zolman purchased it after there death. I have probate record refferring to this. Glenda does not list all the people known to have been burried there. It is said Philip and Elizabeth are buried there also and they had flat stones as a marker that read P.Z.+ D 1842 age+ 62 and so on for Elizabrth and was seen as late as 1986. I went and they are no longer visiable. Ok now to my point or question: Philip Zolman had a daughter named Mary Zolman born: April 11, 1805 in Frederick County, Maryland. They removed from Maryland to Ohio and then on to Farmington, MO. All of Philip & Elizabeth Zolman' children followed them on to Missouri around the mid 1830's. I have found no other data on Mary Zolman so do you think it is posible that Mary Zolman marreid Thomas Glendy and one or both died and Philip had them buried here at Glenda/Glendy Cemetery establishing the name of the cemetery. Philip died in 1842 & Elizabeth in 1847. If this is so it is a great find for the Zolman family and would like what infromation may be available. respectively: George A. Zolman jngaz@ims-1.com

My ancestor, William Glendy came to the US in 1804 from Northern Ireland. His brother preceded him in 1799 (Rev. John Glendy who was exiled due to sympathy with the 1798 Irish Rebellion). They settled in VA. I have just returned from Northern Ireland ....hoping to learn more about the family. There are no Glendys left in Northern Ireland. I hired a genealogist but the search for information was fruitless due to the paucity of records there. I am glad to learn from what has been posted here especially regarding the origins.

    1. [GLENDAY] Johns/Lindsay/Glenday/Durfee Summary
    2. Susan D. Chambless
    3. [This summary was prepared by Anne Durfee Gauss, and represents the state of the information as she knew it in the 1920s. It should not be considered definitive, but rather as a source of clues. -- SDC] Partly from PIONEER FAMILIES of MISSOURI, by William S. Bryan and Robert Rose, published by Bryan, Brand and Company, St. Louis, Mo. 1876. St. Charles was first called Les Petite Cotes (little hills), afterwards Village des Cotes (village of the hills). It was named St. Charles by the Spanish. Date of first settlement uncertain, most likely 1766 or 1769, by Louis Blanchette, the Chasseur, or hunter. Most of the pioneers (after French and Spanish days) were from Kentucky and Virginia, a few from North and South Carolina, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Tennessee. After the Catholics, the first church was the Presbyterian, organized August 30, 1818, by Rev. Salmon Giddings, assisted by Rev. John Mathews. Thomas Lindsay and wife, James Lindsay and wife, were four of the nine members. Thomas Lindsay was an elder. Rev. Charles S. Robinson was pastor. John Jay Johns was born in Buckingham County, Virginia, June 27, 1818. His father was Glover Johns, his mother Martha Jones. Glover Johns was a tobacco planter and a magistrate, an office of great honor in the Old Dominion in those days. Glover Johns' father and mother were John Johns and Elizabeth Glover. After the death of his wife, Glover Johns sold his plantation and went with John Jay (his youngest child) to middle Tennessee in 1831, where his married daughter, Elizabeth, Mrs. Cowan, lived. The Cowans lived in Memphis, at least at one time. In 1834, Glover Johns and John J., his son, went to Mississippi, where an older son, Alfred (wife, Mary Wharton) had a plantation near Clinton, named "Chevy Chase". In 1836, John Jay went to Miami University at Oxford, Ohio, where he graduated in 1840. He was married the same year to Catherine A. Woodruff of Oxford, and returning to Mississippi, became a planter. In the spring of 1844 he removed to St. Charles County, Missouri. That was the memorable year of the great overflow of the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers, by which untold suffering and sickness were entailed upon the population. In 1845, attracted by the rich lands in the point Prairie, below St. Charles, Mr.. Johns settled there. St. Charles, at that time, was a small unprepossessing village, and many of its merchants and citizens were struggling against financial ruin which threatened them on account of the stringency of the times. In 1846, Mrs. Johns died, leaving two daughters, Louisa and Mary. There were a few scattering farms on the Point Prairie when Mr. Johns settled there, but its prospects soon began to improve, and a number of enterprising persons located there. Mr.. Johns, it is said, paid ten dollars an acre; some of his land was sold as high as $180.00 an acre in 1907, when his two farms were sold, in order to divide his estate. among his neighbors in the point were Willis Fawcett (brother of Henrietta, Mrs. Eugene Gauss), B. H. Alderson, Abner Cunningham, John Chapman, Charles Sheppard, and James Judge. On the 2d day of November 1847, Mr. Johns was married to Jane Amanda Durfee, daughter of Rev. Thomas Russell Durfee, and his wife, Anne Glenday, who was the niece and ward of Thomas Lindsay. the ceremony took place at the old Thomas Lindsay farm near St. Charles. In 1849, Mr. Johns, B. A. Alderson, Willis Fawcett and John Stonebraker bought the first McCormick reaper that was ever brought to the State. This gave a new impetus to the production of wheat in this great wheat growing county. In 1851, Mr. Johns removed his family to the town of St. Charles, where they continued to reside. Within a year or two, he built the home on a hill on the southwestern edge of town, where he lived until his death in April, 1899. Mrs. Johns died in this home February 20, 1915. They had a family of eleven children. Believing a cultivated and well trained mind to be more valuable than wealth, he gave all his children a good education and those who are grown occupy honorable and useful positions in society. Mr. Johns was made an elder in the Presbyterian Church at twenty-one years of age. Thomas Lindsay and his family lived in Scotland. The names of his children were, Thomas, Jr., James, John, Martha, Mary, Anne and Jane. James was married in Scotland to Charlotte Kettray, and came to America and settled in St. Charles County in 1817. Johns settled in South Carolina, where he died. Anne married Peter Glenday, of Forforshire and Perthshire, Scotland. They came to St. Charles in 1817. The names of their children were: James, Ellen or Helen, Thomas, Anne and Andrew. When they came to St. Charles, Helen was twelve and Anne, six. Peter Glenday remained in St. Charles six years. During that time his wife, Anne Lindsay Glenday died. He returned to Scotland with his daughter, Helen. Anne chose to remain behind with her uncle, Thomas Lindsay, Jr. Anne L. Glenday's grave in St. Charles was lost in the changes that came in the town but there is a gravestone for her in Rattray Kirkyard, Blairgowrie, Perthshire, Scotland, where her husband, Peter Glenday, is buried. Their son, James, was married a merchant with trading operations in Scotland, Mexico, Missouri, and other places. He married Mary Thom of Forfar, Scotland. They lived in St. Charles and in the County. James Glenday died when middle-aged or a cut on his foot which was not properly cared for. His children died young. His widow spent the latter half of her life in the home of her husband's niece, Mrs. John Jay Johns. she died, aged 80 years, at St. Joseph's Hospital, St. Charles, in spring of 1899. Helen Glenday, who returned to Scotland with her father, after his death, married Mr. Butchart and lived to be over ninety years of age. They had one son, James Patrick, who died in Rattray, December, 1912, leaving his widow, a son, Edwin, and daughter, Ada. James Patrick Butchart was 68 years of age when he died. Thomas Glenday, of a daring temperament, made expeditions into new country. He married "Polly" Cayce of Missouri and they lived in St. Charles County. some time after her death he went far west and never returned; was supposed to have been killed by Indians. Andrew died rather young in Mexico. Anne grew up in the home of her uncle, Thomas Lindsay, in St. Charles County, and married in 1828, Rev. Thomas R. Durfee. Rev Thomas Russell Durfee came to St. Charles from Fall River, Massachusetts, in 1827. He was a graduate of Brown University, Rhode Island, and of the Theological Seminary at Andover, Mass. In 1828, in St. Charles County, he was married to Miss Anne Glenday, who was a niece of Thomas Lindsay and then living with him. Mr. Durfee lived for a time after his marriage in Callaway County, as pastor of the Presbyterian Church at Auxvasse. He afterward returned to St. Charles, and was agent of the American bible society, and in 1833, the great Cholera year - he died (not of Cholera but a congestion) at the house of Thomas Lindsay. He was 32 years of age, was a man of great worth and a fine preacher. He left two daughters, Jane Amanda, who afterwards was married to John Jay Johns, - and Margaret Lindsay, who married Edward Payson Borden of Philadelphia. Mrs. Durfee, after the death of her husband, continued to live with her uncle, Thomas Lindsay, until his death in 1843, At her uncle's death, she was, by his will, possessed of his old homestead, where she continued to reside until 1850 when she went to live with her son-in-law, John Jay Johns. she died at his home in April, 1890, aged 80 years. She was a great enthusiast on the subject of education, and used her means freely in educating her grandchildren. Her elder daughter, Mrs. Johns, was educated at Lindenwood and at Monticello, Godfrey, Illinois; and Mrs. Borden at Bradford Seminary in Massachusetts.

    1. [GLENDAY] posting family info
    2. Susan D. Chambless
    3. I was looking back through some old emails, and found one about posting family information which I either did not answer, or answered from work -- which doesn't leave me a paper trail. Anyway, I thought I would answer it here. There are a number of resources for posting information on this family at RootsWeb, which we can use. 1) Post new information to this list. Odds are, somebody reading it will be interested. 2) Post your own GEDCOM at http://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com/ 3) Use the surname resource pages: http://resources.rootsweb.com/surnames/index.html http://resources.rootsweb.com/surnames/b/o/BORDEN/ http://resources.rootsweb.com/surnames/c/h/CHAMBLESS/ http://resources.rootsweb.com/surnames/d/u/DURFEE/ http://resources.rootsweb.com/surnames/g/a/GAUSS/ http://resources.rootsweb.com/surnames/g/l/GLENDAY/ http://resources.rootsweb.com/surnames/h/o/HORNE/ http://resources.rootsweb.com/surnames/j/o/JOHNS/ http://resources.rootsweb.com/surnames/s/a/SANDERSON/ Post your personal web site on the pages that are relevant. Each resource cluster has links to the surname bulletin boards. There are boards for Queries, Bible Records, Bios, Deeds, Obits, Pensions and Wills. You may request to be notified whenever information is added to each bulletin board. I think these could amount to a rather impressive collection of information about our surname. At the moment, there is not much traffic on any of these boards for the above surnames, but I think they have great potential. There are also resource clusters for geographical areas. -- S Susan D.

    1. [GLENDAY] Ada Butchart -- 1913-10-14
    2. Susan D. Chambless
    3. Several people wrote to tell me they enjoyed the other letter from Ada Butchart, so I thought I would post the others, if there are no objections. I also have one from a D. B. Burns, and several from family members that visited the Butcharts in Blairgowrie. -- S To: Miss A. D. Gauss 701 Tompkins Street St. Charles Mo U. S. A. The Cottage Rattray 14th Oct. 1913 My dear Miss Gauss If you only knew how much pleasure you have given to Mother & me by sending us that charming picture of your beautiful house. I can't tell you how much we appreciate it, & not only the picture itself but the kind thought that prompted the sending of it. What a lovely place it is. Mother & I never tire looking at it. We wonder if it is near the old home of Uncle Thomas Lindsay or if his house is still standing. It was at this Uncle's house that my great grandfather -- your great great grandfather -- Patrick Glendy with his wife & family stayed at first for a time after they emigrated nearly one hundred years ago. After his wife died My great grandfather pined for the old country & after being in America for about six years, he came back to Scotland bringing with him his elder daughter Helen - my grandmother - she was then eighteen years of age, her sister Anne whom you are named after was six years younger. she remaind [sic] behind with her Uncle & Aunt Lindsay who adopted her. We have old letters from them in which they speak very affectionately of their "Little girl. Mother & I were just remarking to-day that we must look over some of the old letters & send you a packet of them to read. I know you would find them of great interest. It seems so strange to me when I go along to the Rattray Church yard, as I often do with flowers -, to think that my great grandfather is lying there & his wife so far away, in St. Charles. Cousin Shirley took a photograph of the tombstone so you will probably have seen it. My dear Father's name is now added to the others. We are so sorry to know you have lost your Father also. I expect Mrs. Johns had mentioned it when she wrote, but I am afraid we had forgotten perhaps our own grief had made us a little selfish, & then at that time we were so anxious about my brother who was so ill. I can truly sympathise with you, as only those can who have gone through the same sorrow. Many thanks also for your very kind & most interesting letter. We feel now as if we had made the acquaintance of another of the American Cousins. I suppose we may claim cousinship? My grandmother & your great grandmother were sisters so it's not so remote after all. we are from the same old stock. I shall be so glad to hear from you again. Tell me all about yourself & your family & all the other connections. any little item will be interesting Mrs. Shirley Johns & Jane write to me sometimes & we do enjoy their letters. I just wish we could meet with you all & always hope that we shall. How is your grandmother - Mrs Johns? The last news we had of her from Mrs Shirley was that she was getting very weak & her memory going, that must be very sad and trying for you all. She is the only cousin Papa had on his Mother's side so we are greatly interested in here. We should like so much to have a photo of her, & also any others of the family would be greatly appreciated. I have got muddled somehow with the sheets of paper, commenced on a second sheet after only filling one side of the first. Can't think what I was about. I hope you will manage to find the connexion it will seem a much bigger letter than it really is. Please accept our heartiest thanks for the beautiful photo and with kindest regards to you all from us both. I am Yours very sincerely Ada M. Butchart Your letter & the picture came by same post yesterday morning. there was no extra charge for latter. Source: Handwritten original in the private collection of the Chambless family.
