Hi Listers, I'm searching information about my 4x-great grandfather, Donald ROSS. He was a Loyalist during the American Revolution and was evacuated from New York at the end of the war. He was with the group that was transported to Guysborough, Nova Scotia in 1783. Donald was granted land as well as a town lot near the church in Guysborough in 1784. Donald's wife's name was Ann MORRIS, daughter of Richard MORRIS, also a Loyalist. I'm trying to learn where Donald came from in Scotland, when he was born and died, who his ancestors and siblings were, and which unit he served with during the war. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. ~~~Pam Outgoing mail scanned by Norton Antivirus 2004

Hello Listers, I have just joined this list, having found out that my Great Great grandmother, Margaret McLennan was born on Isle of Lewis, Ross Shire about Aug. og 1814. She married Angus McNaughton from Perth, and they immigrated to Canada in 1852. They had at least 2 sons with them, Donald, born about 1848 and John born Dec1849 or Jan 1850. Can someone tell me the parishes on the Isle of Lewis so I can begin looking for her family? Any information about Margaret would be wonderful. Thanks so much Lynn in Michigan

My MACKIE family belonged to the Free Church, i.e. were 'wee frees'. I have a photo of the Kilmuir Easter Church which is where Mary MACKIE and James DEAS were married. I realise that there is probably more than one church in this area but this is a rectangular stone building (possibly 15th century) and has an older building with a tower attached, at one end. Can anyone tell me if this is or was a Free Church? Regards Helen Herbert

Many thanks for posting this, Janet. I found my 2nd great grandfather, James DEAS, in the Records, and it added to my knowledge of him. I knew from his Death Certificate that he had died in the Tain Union Poorhouse after a two year illness. I wondered why he was there, as he captained ships around the coast until a couple of years before his death, (ie was always in work), and his wife and family were living in Rosskeen. The Records told me that he was in the Poorhouse for only a month before he died. Presumably it was used as a hospital when the family could no longer cope with the patient at home. It is always satisfying to solve these puzzles.

Hi all, I was updating my local genealogy group website with website links from our newsletter, and came across this... Am Baile - The Gaelic Village http://www.ambaile.org.uk which has amongst its many jems, the admission registers for the Easter Ross Union Poorhouse. Its doesn't appear to be transcribed - but who needs that when you can view the original pages online. (Looking around some more I find that there are index pages too) The book covers from the opening of the poorhouse in 1850 - 1907 Hope someone finds this useful Best wishes Janet Connochie Christchurch, New Zealand

To Bobbie and others I do not pretend to be an expert in land tenure but from stories I have read or heard here is how I understand it went. Before croft tenure was regularised following the Napier Commission land was let for a few years at a time with regular reviews of tenancy. Most times the land would be re-let to the families who had use of it unless they had displeased the head person of the area. There is a tale of the 1600's where the head person was too ill to oversee the lettings and his son took advantage of his power to shift certain families from land they had held for generations to poorer lots. On hearing this, the sick father left his bed wrapped only in a blanket and remonstrated with his son to return the lands to the families who had it previously. From the late 1800's croft land has been passed through the family and could be assigned to your chosen descendant I believe, as it has not always been the oldest son who succeeds, indeed it has sometimes been a daughter and son in ! law. Tina

From Black's 'Surnames of Scotland' (New York Public Library 1946) - BEATON: Two learned families named Macbeth and Beaton or Bethune practised medicine in the Isles in the 16th and 17th centuries. Their names in the 17th century and 18th centuries became merged in English in one surname of Beaton. The Macbeths practiced in Islay and Mull, and the Beatons in Skye. . . . . . . . (a lot of information follows which I'm not going to type out until it comes to): The Beatons of Skye were really Beatons or Bethunes from Fife, descended from the Lairds of Balfour. A grandson of the 5th laird, Dr. Peter Bethune, settled in Skye about the middle of the 16th century. His descendants were numerous and intermarried with the best families in Skye and the Isles. They are still strong in Skye. . . . . The last of these hereditary physicians came to an end in 1763 in the person of Niel (sic) Beaton. Under BETHUNE it says: Of territorial origin from the town of the name in the department of Pas de Calais (France). The name first appears in Scotland between 1165-1190 (which probably means they came into Scotland with other Norman French knights, invited there by the Scottish kings). Lachie

Hi list members, I am trying to work out how the tenancy of crofts worked in the old days. I have recently transcribed the 1841 census for Applecross and am now looking at the tenants at Lonbane, Applecross, through the 19th century. Using the 1795 Militia records and the Parish register from 1798 onwards, I have been trying to sort out who lived at Lonbane. Can any one enlighten me about how the tenancy worked? Was it passed down through families? I had assumed that the same families would have stayed in the area but it doesn't seem to have operated quite like that. The families that were there in 1795 seem to have left. The married daughter of one family seems to have stayed but the rest of the tenants/ residents seemed to have changed over several times. The main clearance in Applecross from the better land on the Applecross estate was around 1811 and presumably the number of families swelled from 7 from that time. By 1841 census there were 14 homes at Lonbane. Bobbie

Hi list members, I have been transcribing Applecross families and have noticed that several have changed the way their names are said/spelt over time. My McLeas became McLeays/ Macleays and lots became Livingstone, with a few changing back to McLeay. McGillise lost their Mc and became Gillies/Gilles. McGillenders became Gillenders/Gillanders My query is, did McBeath become Bethune or not? Are there any other names from Ross and Cromarty that list members know that changed? Bobbie, Upper Hutt

Throughout his life he gave his birth year as 1833 but it may have been 1836. His parents were Alexander Corbett & Janet MacLeod, who were married 13 April 1810 in Fearn. Their family, according to the IGI, was as follows: - Alexander, b 9 Dec 1811 - Fearn Henry, b 11 Sep 1813 - Tarbat Alexander, b 2 Aug 1820 - Tarbat Ann, b 1 Mar 1823 - Tarbat John, b 25 Feb 1825 - Tarbat (in 1841 census) Simon, b 28 Jun 1827 - Tarbat (in 1841 census) Margaret, b May 1829 - Tarbat Isabella, born c1831 (not in IGI, but in 1841 census, aged 10) Donald, born c1836 (not in IGI, but in 1841 census, aged 5) Tarbat 1841 Census Head Alexander Corbett 55 Wife Janet McLeod Corbett 49 John Corbett 16 Simon Corbett 14 Isabella Corbett 10 Donald Corbett 5 Many thanks for any reply.

Thanks to everyone who has given me advice on finding the Middlesbrough Yorks William ROSS family roots in Ross Shire. I'm still putting 2 and 2 together (and coming up with 5!) and will let you know the results when I have it all sorted! Thanks Kyle, you have found the right Frederick ROSS, son of William Robert and Elizabeth... now I have to determine that he is OUR Frederick ROSS by contacting some elderly relatives!
