Hi List, I've just found out that one of our distant PATERSON rellies may have gone to Canada; his name was William PATERSON, and he was born about 1836 in Dalziel, Lanarkshire, Scotland. He was a baker by trade, and would have emigrated sometime in the late 1850s or 1860s, I would guess. I don't know whereabouts in Canada he went. Does this ring any bells with anyone ? Cheers, Rosalind Paterson.

Our Northern Ireland adventure is over, the answers found and it is time to move on; to Stirling in Scotland with the prospect of new "finds"and more adventures. For almost six years I have researched the Presbyterian Ulsterman and in doing so found four obscure out of print publications that should be included in every library. Before my focus changes to Scottish research I am offering to interested researchers ONE last time the opportunity to purchase (cost of copies and postage) the following items. All items have either expired copyrite provisions or in the case of the Hagy thesis I have the authors permission to reproduce the document. They are: The Laggan and its Presbyterianism and In the Days of the Laggan Presbytery, 1905, 1908, by the Rev. Alexander Lecky, B.A. member of the Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland, Belfast, Davidson & McCormack, 54 King St. 211 pages. On our trip we met JB Shannon age 90, who assisted in the 1975 reprinting and he was a window to the past. He is the last living person who had anything to do with these books and says they are still the BEST source for Ulster presbyterian research. From Lecky I quote, "The lists of names of former generations of Lagganeers, and their places of abode, that are given in the Appendixes, and which NEVER before appeared in print, whilst they may of necessity prove dull reading to those who have no acquaintance with the locality, will not, I hope, be altogether uninteresting to those who bear the same name, or live in the same places...." If I send this post to your list it means your surname is listed in the appendix. Cost: $25.00 Fighters of Derry, Their Deeds and Descendants, being a Chronicle of Events in Ireland during the Revolutionary period 1688-1691, by William R. Young, 1932, Eyre and Spottiswoode, London 350 pages. Contains the following biographical sketches: (1500) 1. The leaders of the County Associations, who with their levies took part in the Preliminary operations and contributed much of the man power for the Defence. 2. The Apprentice Boys and those responsible for shutting the gates on the 8th Dec. 1688. 3. The actual Defenders during the 105 day siege (over 1200 genealogical sketches) 4. Those engaged in the relief of the city. One of the most difficult sources to locate, in fact almost impossible. Months worth of reading and packed with great genealogy. Cost: $25.00 A History of the Siege of Londonderry and Defense of Enniskillen in 1688 and 1689, with Historical Poetry and Biographical Notes, by the Rev. John Graham, M.A. Rector of Magilligan in the Dicese of Derry. Includes the Battles of the Boyne, Athlone, and Aughrim and the siege and Capitulation of Limmerick by Lord Macaulay, Toronto, 1869 The historical poems are family genealogies about those who were at Derry and where they came from. Along with "Fighters of Derry" these two sources contain more actual genealogical information than any others that I have seen. 311 pages Cost: $25.00 Castle's Woods: Frontier Virginia Settlement, 1769-1799, A thesis presented to the Faculty of the Department of History, East Tennessee St. University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts, by James W. Hagy, 1966, 150 pages. The most popular of the documents offered it covers the families who settled in Russell county, Virginia when it was considered the frontier. If your ancestors came through southwest Virginia this document is the history of your family. Contains information of specific families as well as the farmers, speculators, artisans, and preachers who resided there. Lots on the Indian battles that were a daily feature of life on the frontier. Names like Russell, Walker, Porter, Cowan, Houston, Boone, Montgomery, Fraley, Thompson, Anderson, Kilgore and 50 or so other "Scotch-irish" families make this an invaluable resourch for your family history. Cost: $25.00 I only post these offerings to a tiny fraction of the lists and only to those lists where your surnames are mentioned. After I make the offering I insubscribe because my e-mail box will fill up in about ten minutes. I am always on the Cowan and Wigton-Walker lists and you can e-mail me at cscunc@aol.com and ask any question you like. I will always attempt to answer your questions although it is unlikey I hold the key to who your great grandma was. If you are interested in the results of our trip to Donegal and Belfast please check the COWAN-L archives and you will see the posts we made during the last week or so. Thanks for your interest and I hope making this information available has helped some of you. I always enjoy getting e-mails from fellow researches. Also a big thanks to those of you who sent family information to us before our trip. It was appreciated and a special thanks to Alex Latta from Canada who turned us on to James Fleming. The trip would not have been the same without that piece of the puzzle. Regards, Robert Cowan 525 Harrogate Rd. Matthews, North Carolina 28105 (704)847-4081

Got this on one of my CA lists, notice the PATTERSON surname. Sincerely, Donna Patterson http://pattersonfamily.50megs.com cadigger@pacbell.net Dear List Members I am the Researcher for the Historical Museums of Los Gatos. My job (I am a volunteer) is to 'computerize' over 150 volumes of funeral director/undertaker records housed at the museum. The records have never been filmed by the Mormon Church. These records cover 1900-1990 and document the people who died in Los Gatos - there are huge numbers because people travelled to the town to 'recover' from their ailments. (unfortunately most did not!) At the very beginning of one set of records - those of Charles S Topping, Undertaker - it became apparent to me that he originally 'traded' in the Oroville area. The first records in the book were from Oroville .. and not Los Gatos ... so I am returning them to YOU! As a Professional Genealogist, I know the value these entries will have to those of you looking for lost ancestors .. and so they are transcribed below. I have the complete funeral record for each individual below, with much more information. Please contact me off list is you make a connection to any of these individuals. NOT IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER !!! All individuals died 1905 - The note following the name is where they died: Peter Light, Butte Co. Infirmary Samuel Mayes, Napa State Hosp. Robert W Pinchase, Butte Co.

Beginning Monday, 10 June 2002, RootsWeb will begin the complex and time-consuming process of upgrading our servers to new hardware. o What does this mean for you? Well, it means some servers will be unavailable during this time and we are asking for your patience. For up-to-date information about the different resources, you can visit http://helpdesk.rootsweb.com/ as the move progresses. o Web Pages: FTP will be down so that changes can't be made to pages until everything is working correctly on the new servers. There will be a short time that the pages will not be available as the transfer takes place. o List Administrators: When the time comes to move list servers, we will be halting operation on the machine to complete the move. We expect to have the machines down the least amount of time possible. No mail will be sent from or posted to your mailing lists. We do not expect to lose any messages. o Board Administrators: Nothing, unless your board happens to be gatewayed to a mailing list then the information for list administrators apply. Thank you for your patience and understanding while we go through a few "growing pains." - RootsWeb Staff

My brickwall was born in Ireland or possibly in VA. He appears to have arrived in Adair Co. KY in 1802/1803, probably living in the household of Alexander WALKER who I believe was from Rockbridge Co. VA. In 1803 John married Polly Hughes, dau. of Blackmore Hughes (from VA). Had 2 daughters, Nancy and Polly. Polly Hughes died, and John married 2nd time to Sarah Selby, dau. of Thomas Selby (from Post Vincennes, Indiana, formerly from Maryland). Had 8 additional children in Adair Co.: Thomas W., James, Isyphena, Avire, John Newton, Blackmoore, Amanda, and Merisse. John was of Scotch-Irish descent, and served in War of 1812. Believe his parents came over from Ireland, probably when John was very young. Family tradition says they had other kin in PA and possibly NJ prior to their arrival. Have information on many descendants, also on Selby line. Any help would be deeply appreciated.
