Here's how they come down- John Tweedie + ?= Richard Tweedie + Margaret Miller (parents?)= John Tweedie + Nicolas Moffat (parents ?)= Alexander Tweedie (1797) + Mary Bruce (James Bruce)= John B. Tweedie (1824) + Mary Anne Middlemist (parents?)= John B. Tweedie (1855) + Mary Clark (Nicolas ?& Hugh Clark)= Robert R. Tweedie (1878) + Phoebe May Thompson Phoebe May dau of James Blythe Thompson and Maretta Reynolds- he goes back thru George then Andrew to abt 1740 Scotland. George's wife is Elizabeth Thomson without the 'P' dau of James Thomson & Agnes Nancy Russell (and if it's not confusing enough to have to different Thom(p)son's marry- Elizabeth's sister Jane married Elizabeth's husband George's brother Andrew.) anyway...... Maretta Reynolds (above) - her parents are Morris S. Reynolds (son of Silas Reynolds and Sarah Hilton) & Phoebe Carman. (Phoebe is the daughter of Joshua Carman & Priscilla Scutt-Priscilla daughter of Peter Scutt. Joshua Carman (abt 1790) son of James Carman & Deborah Howe. The Carman name goes back just about for as long as there were names. So... Robert R. Tweedie + Phoebe Carman= (4 boys and 2 girls. One of the girls Lelia married Stanton Jenks- I don't know much more about Laurence or brother Clair T, or brother James Wilber or sister Leta E.) Clifford Clark Tweedie (1916) + Patricia Roberts Tait. (Patricia goes back through her father William Ormiston Tait the 2nd and Patricia's mother Dorothy Mather Roberts dau of Edmund Samuel Roberts Jr. and Emily Mersereau Mather- we know she comes from Increase Mather but don't know how yet. And I figure the NY Ormiston name fits there somehow but haven't made that Tait connection to it yet. So Cliiford + Pat Tait= my good friend Mary Anne Tweedie & her brothers Clifford Clark and James Lee Tweedie (all in their 40's- no children). (I know there is a Lee connection somehow too.... If you need more siblings, dates etc., why don't you tell me what you need & how to send it to you. Do you recognize any of these names? Can you tie up any loose ends for me? Nice to gab with you.

Young and I have started a Surname Project for males with the surname YOUNG (all spellings). The Y chromosome is passed through the generations unchanged from father to son. You and/or other males within your family with the surname YOUNG can benefit greatly from participation in this project. LADIES, encourage male YOUNGs in your family to join this project and your family is involved and will benefit from the genealogical information and relationships discovered. Family Tree DNA is offering the test to us at a group rate discount. Among the benefits possible through participation are the opportunities to: 1. Identify others who are related 2. Prove or disprove theories regarding ancestors 3. Solve brick walls in your research 4. Determine a location for further research 5. Validate existing research This systematic, proven method of determining paternal relations can be very cost effective in proving genealogical relationships from the distant past and leapfrog you back to a wealth of substantiated data. I encourage you and/or male YOUNGS in your family to participate in and benefit from this opportunity to learn more about our ancestors. For more insight into the DNA project you may go to this site: http://www.familytreedna.com/ I will receive NO benefits other than those received by other participants. I am looking forward to hearing from males with the surname YOUNG. Thank you, Andrew H. Young

These surnames appear to come from 2 different sources--both from Southern Scotland. One is from the orginal surname of Tweeddale (valley of the river Tweed)--more common---and the other is from the orginal surname of Tweedwell ( a spring, (Tweeds Well) that is the orgin of the river Tweed.---Twaddle (Twaddell)comes from Tweeddale and my surname ,Twidwell,comes from Tweedwell.-Tweedwell was a more uncommon surname as it is a single-spot placename as opposed to Tweeddale, as it's an area place-name-------People of both surnames and variants went from southern Scotland to Northern Ireland in the 1600's and then from Northern Ireland to America in the 1700's and were part of the Protestant Ulster-Scots.----After they came to America they were mistakenly called Scotch-Irish, which in fact, they were not of Irish blood at all, but Scots who happened to settle in Northern Ireland for 2 or 3 generations. The Protes! tant Ulster-Scots and the native Catholic Irish were bitter enemies and didn't intermarry with each other and the fighting continues to this day between both factions, over 350 yrs later.---------My particular ancestor appears to have been William Tweedwell, who probably came to America, circa 1740, from Northern Ireland. He settled in Pittsylvania/Halifax, VA and from him, came the surnames of Twidwell, Tweedell, Tweddell, Tweedle and perhaps Tweedel and maybe others---Twaddle didn't, though

Dear Catherine I was absolutely delighted to get your email and would have replied earlier but someone sent me a hoax virus alert. Having had that before I was not game to use my computer till I had checked it out. Last time I did what it said and deleted some of my operating system. I also work full time so my spare time is quite limited. In my research I had pencilled in a David but had not confirmed it, so you can imagine my thrill. I have the 1841 census which shows David and wife Elizabeth with a daughter Margaret,also a servant Hellen. This Hellen (born 1829) would I think be the daughter of my gg grandfather Andrew Ketchen born c1806. Helen married Thomas Mercer and I have 4 children to them. My Andrew married Beatrice Lambert and they had Thomas 1827 ------ John 1828 who I think married Janet Wright and had a daughter Elizabeth Alexander Ketchen ------- Helen, Hellen 1829 who married Mercer-------- Michael c 1831 who married Elizabeth Whitehead Dods and had 6 children------- Jane 1833 ---- who in 1881 was living with Thomas and Helen along with a James Turner. Then there was James my great grandfather who married Janet Brown from Leadburn and settled in New Zealand. There is some connection with the Turners as Andrew and Beatrice had a James Turner grandson and James Ketchen grandson living with them in 1861. As neither Michael or my James had a James I think there must be more children to John or Thomas that I do not have. My big rush with all this is that I am making another trip to Scotland in May and will be spending 3 days in Edinburgh for research before going on to Gargunnock where I will stay for a couple of weeks and hopefully look up some of the places where the Ketchens lived and are buried. One thing that is strong on our Ketchen side through the generations is twins. If your neighbour has any clues at all that would be helpful I would be most appreciative and only too willing to contribute to costs of exchanging info. I thought I had been round most of the Ketchen relatives in NZ and have amassed a great deal of info and photos. I am trying without a lot of success to get it into a more readable form and track everyone down. Obviously I still have a few gaps. I am looking forward to hearing from you and pleased to know there is another researcher out there with my family interests. Regards and thanks for contacting me on behalf of your neighbour.

I would like to take the opportunity to extend my thanks to the people on this list for being so pleasant and helpful. It is difficult to imagine what ones ancestors were actually up to way back. You can see pictures /movies like Rob Roy, Braveheart etc. but to actually link them with your own timeline in your own research is often difficult. At least that's what I reckon. Living in Australia and fitting your thoughts into 18 -19 century Scotland sometimes is confusing. My Ancestors from Lanarkshire and Peebleshire I imagine could have been sheep stealing cattle duffing murdering Border Reivers maybe, or as I have discovered one was "one of the original members of what was then the Relief, but now the West United Presbyterian Church later he was ordained to the eldership" what ever that all means is a mystery to me. I would imagine that he probably was not a reiver. Looking at my map would all Lowlanders be lumped together as borderers as it doesn't look to be any great distance from say Biggar, Peebles to the border. Perhaps my thinking is all wrong if so I would love to know more. and I know there are others on this list with the same desire. I am totally enjoying the current threads re Highlanders vs. Lowlanders and the responses to my original question re the 1800's. Very gratefully Banj, banjo1@bigpond.net.au
