Hi Jeannette, I was told by an Inglis relative that the Hamilton of Murdostown estate had no heir. So he asked a close family friend (we now know to be Alexander Inglis - thanks to the original poster!) to take his name in exchange for the estate and thus the "alias Hamilton". Does anyone else on the list know anything about this? Cheers, Ann Hamilton In this list there is an Alexander Inglis, alias Hamilton mentioned. What would be the reason for the "alias"? Just curious. Thank you, Jeannette

Lanark members: Have you considered the possibility that a young, hard to find relative might be a British Home Child? 100,000 British Home Children were sent to Canada during the years 1869 - 1948 to work with pioneer families as domestics and farm hands. In recognition of the Home Children's courage, ingenuity, vision & contributions in this forgotten period in Canada's history, the Canadian Parliament has unanimously designated 2010 as the Year of the Home Child. As well, the Canadian Stamp Advisory Board of Canada will issue one stamp in October 2010 in recognition of the Home Children, & The Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism plans to include recognition of their stories in citizenship ceremonies.

The History of West Virginia, Old and New Published 1923, The American  Historical Society, Inc., Chicago and New York, Volume III, pg.  71-72 WILLIAM BOGGS ANDERSON. The high awards that are attainable in  character and influence through a life of industry and probity, guided and  regulated by a sense of Christian obligation, are illustrated in the career  of William Boggs Anderson, for many years an agriculturist of Pendle- ton  County. Possessed of more than ordinary industry, he entered upon his life  work in young manhood and never failed to carry out the obligations laid upon  his willing shoulders nor to follow up opportunities that opened  before him with steadiness and industry, gaining step by step the rare  fruits of well-directed enterprise, until he found him- self in a position  where he was independent financially and held in high esteem by his  fellowmen. Mr. Anderson was born September 7, 1861, in  Pendleton County, and belonged to a family that originated in Scot- land,  the first American ancestor of which was his great- grandfather, who came  from Glasgow, Scotland, in the first years of the United States as a  republic. The grandfather of William Boggs Anderson, William Anderson, was  born in 1800, at Woodstock, Virginia, and served as a drummer boy there  during the War of 1812. When he attained mature years he became a business  man, and at Woodstock followed merchandising for some years. Like his two  wives, who were sisters, he was possessed of marked literary taste,  and owned a splendid home library. He was a member of the Virginia  Constitutional Convention and a prominent man generally in the State of  Virginia, which he left in 1831 to cross the mountains into Pendleton County,  settling on the South Fork of the South Branch of the Potomac River, where  he owned and carried on extensive operations on a large plantation. His son,  David Crawford Anderson, estab- lished a school for boys in Pendleton County,  and although it was located far from any communities which boasted  of populations of any considerable size he made it something of an  educational center for the youths of the county. He was a college-bred man  himself, and in addition to teaching in his own school, was an instructor in  a classical school at Franklin, and later in one at Moorefield. William  Ander- son rounded out his career on his plantation, where he died, and  his body was interred in the cemetery near Franklin with others of the  family. His first wife was Rachel White, of Greenbrier County, Virginia, and  the six children who were born to them were as follows: Mary, who died as  a maiden; David Crawford, the educator and founder of the boys' school  noted above, who married Louisa Boggs and died in 1891; William Henry, who  died young; Junius Brutus, the father of William B.; Robert Allen, who  joined the "gold rush" to California in 1849 and died in the gold fields;  and Philip Williams, who was a physician and sur- geon throughout life and  died at Charleston, West Virginia. For his second wife William Anderson  married his first wife's sister, Mrs. Alice (White) Hupp. The White  sisters were highly educated women, their father being Valentine White,  the proprietor of a school for girls at Warm Springs, Virginia. Valentine  White married a Miss Rhodes, a lady from Wales, and one of their daughters,  Polly White, mar- ried John Cowardin, of Richmond, Virginia, one of  their sons, James Cowardin, being editor of the Richmond Dis- patch during  the war between the states. Mrs. Rachel (White) Anderson died July 19, 1831.  The issue of William Anderson and his second wife was a son, Samuel,  who passed his life in the main at Franklin, as a farmer, and died  unmarried. Junius Brutus Anderson, the father of William  Boggs Anderson, was born November 19, 1824, and was educated by private  tutors who came to visit his father's home for the purpose of instructing the  children. He became one of the early merchants of Franklin, and during the  war between the states engaged in the manufacture of grey goods for  uniforms for the Confederate soldiers. He died August 9, 1870, and was buried  in the family lot at Frank- lin. Mr. Anderson married Miss Margaret Boggs, a  daugh- ter of Gen. James Boggs. She was a faithful member of the  Presbyterian Church and a pioneer of the Franklin congregation, and she  passed away in that faith July 22, 1894, aged over sixty-one years, having  been born May 5, 1833. Sallie Anderson, the oldest child of Junius B.  and Mar- garet Anderson, is now Mrs. Cunningham and a resident  of Franklin. She was born in this old country town in 1858, and completed  her education at Fairfax Hall, Winchester, Virginia, from which she was  graduated in 1881, subse- quently taking a post-graduate course in art. She  estab- lished a boarding school for girls at Franklin, growing into it  rather easily and unintentionally, until she found herself at the head of a  popular and useful institution and con- tinued its life for seven years. She  then gave up literary school work and took up art, giving over her entire  time to instructing her pupils in oil painting and pastel work.  Her paintings have attracted widespread attention and have received much  favorable comment from critics. Many of them grace the walls of leading homes  all over this region. On May 4, 1893, she was united in marriage with  Eliacum Cunningham at Edinburg, Virginia, while she was teaching for a  short time at Winchester. Mr. Cunningham was born July 2, 1853, in Pendleton  County, and acquired his educa- tion in colleges in Virginia and elsewhere as  he could provide the means to further his studies. He taught school for  a number of years in Lewis County, this state, and after read- ing law for  five years with William H. H. Flick, of Franklin, was admitted to the West  Virginia bar. Soon after his marriage to Miss Anderson he established his  home at Beverly, West Virginia, where he followed his profession during  the rest of his life, dying in December, 1901. He was active in democratic  politics, and was frequently an official in the State Senate, where he served  as reading clerk and clerk. He never campaigned in his own behalf.  Mr. Cunningham was at first a warm supporter of William Jen- nings Bryan  for the presidency, and while he lost some of his admiration for the  Nebraskan he always remained loyal to the democratic cause. In May, 1902,  Mrs. Cunningham resumed her connection with her native town, where she  has continued her work in art and is an active member of the Presbyterian  Church. She has not cared to exercise her right of franchise as a voter, but  has raised no objection to others voting if they wish to do  so. William Boggs Anderson was reared in a commercial atmosphere, his  father being a merchant, but when he en- tered upon his serious career  adopted agriculture and stock- raising as his own pursuits. His education was  secured in the public schools, and as a young man he taught school for a  time, but soon abandoned the educational profession for the pursuits of the  farm and became the owner of valuable lands in Randolph and Pendleton  counties. He contributed much to the development of the several communities  in which he was located by improving his own estates, and became known as  one of the large operators of Pendleton County. Mr. Anderson's chief stock in  cattle was of the Hereford strain, and he took particular pride in the  pro- duction of live stock, constantly seeking to better the breed of his  herds. While agriculture was his chief concern, he also had some experience  in commercial affairs, having con- ducted a hardware store at Franklin for  many years. He was also one of the directors of the Farmers Bank of  Frank- lin. Politically he was a stanch democrat and manifested a strong  interest in politics and political campaigns, being often a delegate of his  party to conventions. No fraternity ever won his favor. He was a member of  the board of deacons of the Presbyterian Church, and died in that  faith March 16, 1920. He is survived by a brother, Charles, who is a  farmer on the South Fork of the South Branch of the Potomac River; and four  sisters: Mrs. Sallie Cunningham, of Franklin; Mrs. J. J. Roberts, of  Culpeper, Virginia; Miss Alice Anderson, of Franklin; and Mrs. Lucy  Headley, also of Franklin. One brother, Dr. Walter, died at Franklin while  engaged in the practice of dentistry. At Franklin, December 6, 1899, Mr.  Anderson married Miss Catherine Dyer, a native of Pendleton County and  a sister of Dr. Osceola Dyer, of Franklin. She was orphaned by the loss of  her father when she was a child, and her girl- hood was spent at the home of  her uncle, John McClure, who married Rebecca J. Skidmore, a sister of Mrs.  Ander- son's mother. Three children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Anderson: J.  McClure, one of the young farmers of the Franklin community, who registered  for the World war but was not called into active service, and he married  Miss Marguerite Boggs, a daughter of Hugh Boggs; Effie Harness, who is a  high school student at Franklin; and William Dyer, who has just completed his  graded school work. The Anderson home, standing upon a conspicuous  site at Franklin, was erected by Mr. Anderson, and goes far  toward teaching the present generation his character and the manner of man  and citizen he was. ----------------------------- Researched and Submitted by Gloria  Bushong ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to VASHENAN-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

Hi again Marc I found out about St Andrews By the Green, via Iain McKenzie of this list... Here is a link to the Archives of the list. http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/index/LANARK/2010-06 where you can see Iains reply to me about the records...which he a couple of weeks ago. It includes a link to the Archives of the Mitchell to whom I wrote.. Good luck Gay Does anyone have a clue what Episcopal Church someone might have attended if they lived in Calton in the 1840s?

Marc, Perhaps the church may have been St Andrew''s by the Green...Episcopalian Church.. St. Andrew's by the Green was built in 1750, and is the oldest Episcopalian Church building erected in Scotland since the Reformation See http://www.gamh.org.uk/GAMHStAndrews.html and Wikipadia which says St. Andrew's-by-the-Green is an 18th Century Grade A-listed former church in Glasgow, Scotland, and the first Episcopal church built in the city. It is situated on the corner of Turnbull Street and Greendyke Street, overlooking Glasgow Green, on the edge of the City's East End. The Mitchell Library holds a database of Christenings at St Andrew''s by the Green, which are not included in the OPRs on Scotlands People and the Glasgow Archives are very helpful if you contact them.. I am searching for information on a Christening in that church as well.

Does anyone have a clue what Episcopal Church someone might have attended if they lived in Calton in the 1840s?       I'm looking for births of my McIntyre family who were in Calton in 1851 census.  I can't find them for the 1841, but a son b. in 1841 listed Glasgow as birth.  Later, when they lived elsewhere they were married in St. John Episcopal in Dumfries, and the mother was from Brampton, Cumberland, so I'm wondering if that is why I can't find anything on the IGI.       It has come to my attention from a private email, that Mr. Cann thinks he is following the proscripts of the mailing list to the T.  Which may be true.  He just doesn't have any social graces....nor patience...nor good tact.  Try and be patient with him.  Two wrongs don't make a right.    

Hi Betty Although Sligo is in the province of Connacht and not Ulster, your KERR and HENDERSON families may well have been descendants of the Scottish lowland (and English) families who were sent to colonise Ulster starting in the early 17th century and carrying on into the 18th century. Sligo is not far from Ulster. My 1995 Collins Pocket Reference book of Scottish surnames by David Dorward, has this to say about the name 'KERR': "Kerr (the Scots form of Carr) is a locality name although there is no such place nowadays. The Roxburgh branch of the family spelt their name Ker, while the Lothian branch was Kerr. There were numerous offshoots in the Borders" [two of which were united by marriage in 1631.] "From the union derive the earldom and marquessate of Lothian and the earldom and dukedom of Roxburgh. There grew up a legend that the Kerrs were left-handed, and built their spiral staircase with a left-hand thread for better defence by southpaw swordsmen; a derivation of the name Kerr (from the Gaelic 'cearr' meaning 'left' or 'wrong') has been devised as evidence, but there is nothing in history, etymology or even common sense to support this notion". The name 'HENDERSON' is according to David Dorward among the top 30 in Scotland and the distribution is very wide. It is a patronymic from the given name, Henry and its older form was 'Henryson'.

Don, Historically nowhere east of Elgin was ever considered part of the Highlands. Indeed arguably nowhere east of Nairnshire was considered the Highlands.

Margaret, I don't think there is an official line but the simplest description would be to draw a line from say Dumbarton to Stonehaven (Aberdeen). Although my father always said it was everyplace higher or lower than the place you were before (it didn't make sense to me either).

Perth has always been known as the gateway to the Highlands but in the 18th century the Highlands included all of the Trossachs and anywhere north-west of Stirling. Aberdeenshire, Angus and Kincardine have never been considered part of the Highlands.

Margaret there is no official line. Generally people consider the Highland fault as the dividing line but since large parts of the Highlands lie to the south-west and east of it, that is a geological definition only. Generally people would consider upland Stirlingshire and Perthshire to be part of the Highlands but then is that part of Aberdeenshire or Banffshire or indeed Morayshire which lie to the north and west of the Cairngorms part of the Highlands? Goodness only knows. The Highlands for administrative purposes includes the counties of Argyll, Inverness, Ross, Sutherland, Caithness and Nairn. Generally people would add the western half of Moray too. That is probably as useful as a chocolate teapot but it is the best I can offer. As someone living 40 miles north of Inverness, to me the idea of a glen 30 miles from Glasgow as forming part of the Highlands is nonsense but it wasn't in the 18th century.

I remember from school geography lessons (1) the Highlands, i.e. the area north of the Highland Boundary Fault (Helensburgh to Stonehaven) (2) the Central Lowlands, i.e. the area between the Highland Boundary Fault and the Southern Upland Fault (3) the Southern Uplands, i.e. the area south of the Southern Upland Fault (Girvan to East Lothian) (1) is further subdivided into (1a) the northern Highlands, i.e. north and west of the Great Glen Fault (1b) the Grampian Highlands, i.e. between the Highland Boundary Fault and the Great Glen Fault but all these definitions are geological and probably don't help at all with genealogy.

I grew up in Perthshire. Perth was always called the Gateway To The Highlands.
