To: Members of NCSCOTS-L From: Carol Edmisten Re: Edmisten ancestry I am interested in any information regarding arrival of my Edmisten ancestors in the US. I have little to go on. 1)According to Black's "Surnames of Scotland" the Edmisten name probably is a shortened form of Edmondstone, deriving from the geographical location of Edmondstone near Edinburgh. 2) The largest cluster of the 600+ Edmisten households currently in the US are located in North Carolina. I am assuming therefore that some Edmistens migrated from Scotland to North Carolina at some point in time. 3) My great-grandfather was George Washington Edmisten born in Missouri in 1846. Exact location and his parents' names are unknown to me. George died in 1920 in Wessington Springs, South Dakota. Any and all help greatly appreciated! Thank you- Carol Edmisten

Hello, Does anyone have a copy of the NC Genealogical Society Journal, Vol. 4, Issue 4, dated November 1978? Someone had placed and atricle/advertisement in regard to a family bible that had a Thomas Noble in it. Other surnames were Shine & Fuller. Does any of these names sound familiar to you good folks out there? Thanks, Cory CTCory6353@aol.com

Victor, I am simply attempting to find an authority who can speak on the subject of Scottish cuisine in colonial America with an emphasis on North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia. This speaker will address a major conference if he or she can be found. And no I don't think this subject is akin to "goosing a ghost". Yes people in different stations of life ate different foods, sometimes. But I would be happy to find information on what was available to the common folk. What dishes did they bring with them from Scotland? And no they did not bring grits and barbecue. Over time I am sure that any particular cuisine of the Scots was assimilated into the general culture or forgotten all together. None-the-less it is still a subject worthy of discussion and one that has generated some interest on this discussion list.

A great uncle of mine (grandson of Nancy Carmichael) who lived an active life until his death at about age 94, told me that he that he owed his vitality to two things. The first was that when he woke up each morning, he asked God, What good things do you have in store for me today? The second was that he had a bowl of oatmeal each morning. Then he'd tell me about how much stronger the Scottish people who ate oatmeal were than the puny British who dined on tea cakes. Mitzi

Hi Guys and Gals.... I do not have a colonial Scottish cookbook but I do have one I picked up in Scotland a couple of years ago, title is A Feast of Scotland by Janet Warren Helen Stevenson HSteven899@aol.com

Doug, I saw your post and have run across one book that covered many aspects of colonial life including cuisine. Although it did not identify Scottish cuisine per se, it did cover the subject by region of colonial america. The title of the book is, "Everyday Life in Colonial America from 1607-1783" by Dale Taylor. It is published by Writer's Digest Books, 1507 Dana Ave., Cincinnati, Ohio. It is fascinating reading.

Dear searchers of Colonial Scots Cuisine, We need to consider what part of Scotland our Scots in America came from. What was their status in society? What foods were readily available to them. Then once they are over here -- where are they living -- near water of a stream or the ocean. what is their social status. The Governor probably had a different menu than that of a newly arrived servant. Trying to tie down Scottish Colonial Cuisine is a bit like trying to goose a ghost. Where do you plan to go with the Colonial Cuisine project? Come to the North Carolina Scottish Heritage Society's Scottish Heritage Celebration at St. Andrews Presbyterian College in Laurinburg NC on 18-19-20 March and we will try and solve your problem. Regards, Col Vic Clark

Colonial Scottish cusine consists of some tasty dishes such as haggis. The author, one of the "Two Fat Ladies" of television cookbook fame, handles the history of the haggis with aplomb in this little cookbook. Haggis, for the unititated, is a dish commonly made in a sheep's maw, of minced lungs, hearts, and liver of the same animal. See URL http://pelicanpub.com/scottish/haggis.htm

I am looking for Slys in North Carolina. My 4th great-grandfather John Sly was born in 1764 in Duchess Co, NY. We have taken the tree back to various parts of the Eastern Seaboard and wonder if there are any people who are researching Sly in that part of the USA. Hope to hear you soon.

Dear Fellow Researchers, I'm new to this list and hope some of you can help a bunch of us "cousins" find our CAMERON connection. I have been personally searching for about 10 years and some of my other cousins even longer for guys family. Here is the basic summary of info on who we seek: The Parents and siblings of Bryant Cameron- b. 1778 in NC. (according to 1850 census)- d. aft 1850 in Williamsburg, SC. possible sister: Cecelia Cameron- b. 1790 in NC (same census) d. 1855 in Williamsburg, SC. Bryant and Cecelia married into the same families. There is an Issac Cameron in the same area of Williamsburg, SC, that was born in NC and old enough to be a brother of Bryant and Cecelia. We only have suspicions and coincidences of time and place. Nothing concrete. There was an Issac in Sampson Co. NC census along with Phillip and a Daniel. We do have some possibilities with Issac and Phillip CAMERON being ours, this info from a cousin: Now...about your Isaac CAMERON of Sampson Co., NC. Received this (below) yesterday!!! and it something to run with, because there is mention of William LEE. The Lee's were related to our McCallister's. Also it mentions Benjamin Mills and the MILLS were connected with our McCallister's too. First listing on page 7 of Pruitt's book in the Duplin Co NC Land Entries 1778-1795 section (no references in Sampson Co.) I've included references to Isaac and Philip since they show up together and are most likely kin. entry No.99. Jan. 21, 1778Isaac Camron enters 300 ac on Six Runs Cr and Hoes Swamp;border: Wm Lee, Phill Camron, & Benjamin Mills. On page 39 is entry No.592. Jan. 20, 1779 Philip A Cammaran enters 100 ac on W side of Hoes Swamp;border: his own line, Isaac Cammaran's new entry, & Benjamin Atwell. page 72 entry 1105. (still Duplin Co.) Oct. 21, 1779 Benjn Atwell enters 100 ac;border: Isaac Camron's (sic) corner and Phillip Alexander Cameron. page 79 entry 1210. Dec. 29, 1779 Philip A. Camron enters 200 ac on the head of Hoes Swamp;border: Stephen King. Hoe Swmp and Mill Swp are northernmost tributaries of Six Runs Creek, which itself is a tributary of Black River. Six Runs courses parallel to the Sampson/Duplin Co. line and toward the Wayne (Dobbs) County line. Sorry to be so long, and for any duplications as I'm sending this to another list too. Thank you in advance for any help or info. Heather

I'm searching for the family of John and Britton Bridges, who bought land in Livingston County, KY in 1804. Before coming to Livingston County, they evidently came through Williamson County, TN, where Britton purchased the land in Livingston from Jacob Scott. Britton married Polly Scott, and she and at least one of their 3 children (Rebecca, Edwin, William) were born in TN. Britton died by 1810. His children inherited from the estate of a John Bridges in 1816, whose estate was administered by a Jesse Williams. One person said that Britton and John may be the children a John Bridges, son of Faith and Edwin Bridgers/Bridges of NC. Does anyone know to whom this family belongs? Or do any of your lines connect to Caldwell/Logan/Christian Counties in KY? These counties neighbor Livingston, and there were lots of Bridges there, too. Thanks. Dawnene Bridges Young
