I think my DAR friend was not saying that the Scottish are "tight wads." She was saying the word "scotch" means "tight wad." She was trying to make a point that we are saying it wrong. That we should refer to them as Scots and not Scotch. I, too, come from a wonderful line and am not slamming our line. I just thought I would put it on the list and wake us up from the long winter months and start some discussion. I absolutely am not saying I agree with my friend. I am just sharing what she said and wanted us to open a discussion. No harm intended. Since there has been some response to my message, I pulled out my "Webster's Dictionary." (which I should have done before I sent the message.) Scotch noun 1. (plural in number) The people of Scotland 2. Scots 3. Scotch whisky Scotch adjective 1. Of or pertaining to the people, language, or culture of Scotland. 2. Close with one's money:Thrifty. Scotch-Irish adjective Of, pertaining to, or characteristic of the people of northern Ireland who are of Scottish descent, esp. those who emigrated to America. This is interesting. Because I thought the Scotch-Irish were the people who are of Irish descent and live in Scotland. That shows you that I am never too old to learn, of which I am thankful. I will add here that my husband and I were privileged to go to Scotland two summers ago. We toured Melrose Abbey which has the old tombstone for Dr. John Reid. Again......no insults were intended.

Going through my mail this morning I read with interest the Scotch-Irish information. I appreciate the person sharing this with the list because I have more than one line that comes from this great origin. I thought I would share with you some information that was given to me just last week by a wonderful 83 year old historian and researcher who is in my DAR chapter. This is what she has to say about "Scotch-Irish". She said that the word Scotch is a word meaning "tight wad". She then proceeded to tell me that we should use the term "Irish-Scots" instead of "Scotch-Irish". This group of "Irish-Scots" had fled Ireland and settled in Scotland before coming to America. I highly respect this woman. I would like some feed back on her statement.

It is only on rare occasions that I add a book to the list of "must haves" for the study of Scotch-Irish genealogy.  This one is for our friends with Pennsylvania connections and it is certainly a rare item.   Published in 1856 "by a descendant" it is titled: "A Tribute to the Principles, Virtues, Habits and Public Usefulness of the Irish and Scotch Early Settlers of Pennsylvania,"   Chambersburg, Pa., Printed by M. Kiefer & Co. 1856, 171 pages.   From the preface the following:   "The writer of the Tribute contained in this work, had long desired to see from the Historical publications in Pennsylvania, a vindication of the character and principles of the Irish and Scotch early settlers of this great State and their descendants against reproach, as well as aspersion, cast upon them in some modern publications having pretensions to Historical accuracy...The writer, feeling as if the sand of his Time glass was nearly run out, and that he ere long must be laid aside from labor... has hastily thrown together in his leisure hours, taken from other avocations, the remarks contained in the subsequent pages." Those other avocations are Dr. Foote's Sketches of North Carolina and Virginia, Day's Historical collections, Dr. Smith's Old Redstone, Dr. Alexander's Log College, Dr. Miller's Life of Dr. Rogers, Dr. Elliott's Life of McCurdy and others, Craig's History of Pittsburgh, Hazard's Colonial Records and Archives of Pennsylvania, and American Archives by Force and Gordon's History of Pennsylvania, Mr Rupp's Histories of Lancaster, Cumberland and Franklin counties. The style of writing and knowledge of early Presbyterian history indicates the author may have been a member of the clergy*.  There is a lot of detail on the early members of the church as well as problems with the Indians and the struggle over land rights during the westward expansion.   The book reads a bit like Prof. Hagy's thesis on the early frontier settlement at Castle's Woods, Virginia and it is a combination of history, genealogy and geography. *I have been told recently that Judge Chambers is the author of this work. Listed below are the other books and manuscripts previously offered to the various surname lists that are predominately Scotch-Irish: 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 Sociey of Antiquaries of Ireland, Belfast, Davidson & McCormack, 54 Kings St.  211 pages    On our recent trip to Donegal we met J.B. Shannon, age 90, who assisted in the 1975 reprinting of this book.  He is the last living person who had anything to do with these books and he 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..." Fighters of Derry, Their Deeds and Descendants, being a Chronicle of Events in Ireland during the Revolutionary period 1688-1691, by William Young, Eyre and Spottiswoode, London, 350 pages.    One of the most difficult sources to locate, in fact almost impossible.  Months worth of reading and packed with great genealogy.  Contains the following biographical sketches:    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 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 Diocese of Derry.  Includes the Battles of the Boyne, Athlone, and Aughrim and the siege and Capitulation of Limmerick by Lord McCaulay, 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 I have seen. Three Hundred Years in Innishowen, Being More Particularly an Account of the Family of Young of Culdaff with Short Accounts of Many Other Families Connected with Them, by Amy Young, 1929, The Linenhall Press, Belfast, 311 pages.    Some of the names included are Young, Hart, Harvey, Cary, Vaughan, McLaughlin, Skipton, Richardson, Knox, Ussher, Smith, Nesbitt, Chichester, Ball, Lawrence, Crofton, Boyd, Stuart and many others. The Laggan and its People, by S.M. Campbell, privately printed. A look at the history of the Laggan (Presbyterian Derry/Donegal) through the eyes of a local historian. Draws on local lore, Abercorn papers, records from PRONI. The Tinkling Spring: Headwater of Freedom, A Study of the Church and Her People, 1732-1952, by Howard McKnight Wilson, 1954, Fisherville, Virginia 542 pages    The best source of information on the Scotch-Irish of Augusta/Rockbridge Counties in Virginia.  Includes the Baptismal Records of the Rev. Craig.  In-depth study of the early families of the Shenandoah Valley. Castle's Woods: Frontier Virginia Settlement, 1769-1799, a thesis presented to the Faculty of the Department of History, East Tennessee State 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, this covers the families who settled in Russell county, Virginia when it was considered the frontier.  If your ancestors came through southwestern Virginia, this document is the history of your family.  Contains information on 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 resource for your family history. The Reverend Samuel Houston, V.D.M., by George West Diehl, 1970, McClure Publishing Co. 125 pages History of the early Virginia Presbyterians through the life of the Rev.

Laws, history, struggle with Unfreemen and with the Crafts, Administration, Merchandising, Conditions of entry, etc. and the second part which is about the life of John Cowane, Dean of the Gild and his contributions to it. Well there you have it.  The best documents I have found.  If you are interested in purchasing any of the above items (I would like to make copies for free but I can't) contact me at [email protected] for  details.

My maternal g.grandfather was George William Reid, Keeper of Prints & Drawings at the British Museum 1866-1883 +1887. His father George was an attendant in the Museum but died prematurely in 1843 aged 45. He was baptised in Folkestone March 1799 having been born 1 August 1798 son of George who, according to a book of reminiscences about the Museum an the people employed there published in the 1860s "held an appointment at Dover Castle during the wars with France" and also stated that the family came from the Dunkeld area. Explorations at Dover Castle, PRO and Kent Archives have been negative. Examination of OPRs around Dunkeld does not produce a George, a William or an Andrew (bro to GW). Whether George was the one who came south or an earlier one is not known. Can anyone help John Reid Hebden

Hello, This past June I travelled to Londonderry and Belfast accompanied by my research parter, John Giacoletti, former Curator of Rare Books at the University of North Carolina, and we experienced three action packed weeks in various libraries and research facilities and pubs. This was my 20th trip to Ireland, but the first for genealogical research. We are both skilled researchers and we were prepared. We were also LUCKY. If you would like to read about our genealogical findings just go to the main rootsweb.com page and look for the link to "threaded archives" Type in COWAN and search June and July 2002 and see what you think. It took me almost seven years of intense research to prove what I set out to prove and along the way I stumbled across a few research tools that I have shared with people before and will do again now. They are rare, out of print books and manuscripts which I doubt most people have ever seen. One of the items is found in only six Universities in America and a couple of them are not found here at all. They are as follows: 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 Sociey of Antiquaries of Ireland, Belfast, Davidson & McCormack, 54 Kings St. 211 pages On our recent trip to Donegal we met J.B.

He is the last living person who had anything to do with these books and he says they are still the BEST source for Ulster Presbyterian research.

I am looking for any descendents of Andrew Jackson Reid. Our line is from Nathan Pearce Reid listed in the 1880 Census. I sent off for Nathan's brother's death certificate and it showed Andrew Jackson Reid as the father and it looks like Ellen Pearse as the mother. We see her name as Elsie and as Ellen. We are trying to figure out if Andrew remarried. I cannot find anyone from the other lines. Nathan left AL and went to Gonzales, Texas as a young man. He met and married Nellie Hood, daughter of William Hood, founder of Glen Flora, Texas. Nathan later became an attorney and then district attorney for Wharton County, Texas. I have been told that Nathan's brother lived near Ennis, Texas, which would be Ellis county. This is the census I have so far on Andrew Jackson Reid..... They are listed in the following census: 1860 Troup County GA A J Reed age 30 E A Reed age 22 W J Reed age 1 1870 Clay County GA A J Reed age 39 E A Reed age 32 W J Reed age 11 J D Reed age 1 H W Reed age 6/12 1880 Tallapoosa County AL Andrew J Reid age 51 F GA M GA Elsie A Reid age 42 F SC M GA William J Reid age 21 John S Reid age 12 Henry W Reid age 10 Thomas W Reid age 9 Leana Reid age 7 Lee Dora Reid age 5 Nathan P Reid age 1 Thanks, Etta Reid
