Surnames: Tweed of Scammonden Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/iQTBAIB/137.2 Message Board Post: I have a family letter passed down to me from my grandfather who is the grandson of Samuel who commissioned the letter from Scammonden.

Sincerely. James Tweed P.S. You will find there are 17 children mentioned in the letter. (Note: Letter written to son, William, in the United States of America by his parents, Samuel and Mary. Original letter in the possession of James R. Tweed, of Salt Lake City, Utah (Great-Great Grandson of Samuel Tweed).) Stainland, Aug. “4” 1866 (Dear Son) I now take the opportunity of writing these few lines to you hopeing that they will find you in good health as it leaves us at present. We left Edgerton the old place where we have lived Thirty Two Years=Twelve Months since last May and removed to the place called Sower Newyard in Stainland near to Aunt Mary’s Crey so I will leave you to judge if you mother is not got home now = We were all very much rejoiced when we received your letter in February last to find that you were still in the land of the living and doing so well. We have often dureing the last Five years discoursed about you and wondered if you had got into the American War which caused you not to write but apparently you know nothing of it or you might have said something concerning the matter. It is a great blessing to your father & mother brothers & sisters that you have found a settled place living on your own farm & got so well stocked with cows oxen bull calfs & grey mare also chickens or by the time this reaches you I should say hens dogs cats & a nigger man to work for you & your riding animal which has got so good manners of comeing into your house to bid you good morning as you speak of but I am at a loss to know what kind of a animal this is = I have often told your mother since we received your letter that I would come and be man for you or otherwise go to the gold mines & dig for gold = according to your statement Hay is very dear with you at the rate of Two pence per pound which is rather surprising to me = Now I have to inform you that since you was over to England your sisters Hannah Maria & Mary Jane has got married, & your brother John Fred his dead he died on the 28th of Nov. 1862 leaving now at home with us seven & five of you married & fi! ve dead, makeing a total in number of seventeen children.. Ben is a Dyer at Broadbent Mill Longwood & has three children. John is a Cloth Milner at Victoria Mill Golcar, one child & buried one. Hannah Maria’s husband Bill a Tomy Lumbs perhaps you will know him best by that name is Blacksmithing at Royal George & has three children. Mary Jane & her husband William Henry Fairbanks is weaving & liveing in cottage belonging to the farm we occupy with one child, we have no weaving going on at home now they go to mill. Edward is a Slubber at Barkisland Mill for David Norcliffe. Whiteley is Parr Weaveing at Skyes’s Gosport, & Lucy is Parr Weaveing at Shauss Holywell Green. Walker is a Piecraer at Barkisland Mill. George Henry is a Bobbin Winder for Mary Jane & her husband. Ruth Annie & Eliza Ellin the two youngest is what we have to call players at home = Your dad is Farmer Man at home & your Mother has plenty of work yet, with cooking & following the h! ouse as usual = Therefore I think I have given you an understanding of all belonging to our family. I must not forget to tell you that your uncle John of Seyfield is dead four years ago = With regards to your wife relations they have written several times to me dureing the last four years to know if we had heard from you. I answered them stateing that when we received anything from you I would let them know. I forwarded your letter to Liverpool after peruseing it & they wrote back stateing they had received one from you the day before. Perhaps you might have had an answer from them before this = I think I ought not to forget to tell you that dureing the past winter there has been an illness running among the cattle called the Rinderspest or Cattle Plague nearly all over England & in our nieghbourhood it has swept all the stock of several farmers. But thanks be to God we have had the luck to miss it up to the present time = Now I conclude this little sermon with kindest respects from all your brothers & sisters & Gin & Old Fellow which is still living at the old! place Hey Lane hopeing that before this time you will have got well of your feet & made as you stated a race of it = And may God bless you your wife & your children, hopeing that if life permits you will not be so long between writing as you must know that we are advancing into years = So no more at present from your affectionate Father & Mother Samuel & Mary Tweed.

Hello, folks, within the next few days, RootsWeb will be changing its mail list software from "Smartlist" to "Mailman". (The software used by the Boards will also be changing but THIS notice deals with the change in List software only.) You can access a software migration schedule that will tell you when to expect this list to be migrated at: http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/migrate_sched.html If you have any questions pertaining to the migration schedule, you can contact me at the admin address for this list: mailto:[INSERTLISTNAME][email protected] . How will this change in maillist software affect you as a user? The plan is "Not Much", but there are a number of changes of which you should be aware: 1. Most importantly, the distinction between "list" mode and "digest" mode will change such that users can only access one of these two modes using a single e-mail address. If you wish to subscribe to both modes, you must do so using two different addresses. 2. As a result, the "list" mode will no longer require the "-L" for subscriptions, unsubscriptions, and to send mail to the list. You will still be able to send messages to the list using the mailto:[INSERTLISTNAME][email protected] address you use now OR you can choose to drop the "-L" and send your messages to mailto:[INSERTLISTNAME]@rootsweb.com . Both addresses will work after the list has been migrated. (The "-D" will still be required for all "digest" mode actions.) 3. The deletion of the "-L" for "list" mode mail means that some of you will have to do some tweaking to your mail filters, but this should not be too onerous a task. 4. Unlike Smartlist, Mailman is more restrictive in respect of subscribes and unsubscribes. To subscribe or unsubscribe, the word SUBSCRIBE or UNSUBSCRIBE MUST now be in the Subject line of the e-mail ... just putting it in the text will be insufficient. On the plus side, there will be a "NO MAIL" mode now! 5. There will also be changes to the way in which (a) bounces, and (b) e-mail address on the "Reject" list are handled ... for example, List Admins. now won't be notified of any bounce until the bounce threshold for the list has been met, at which time the address(es) will be automatically unsubbed. This will take me some getting used to because I won't see from post to post who's bouncing, or why ... Why change at all? The "why" is that Smartlist, the software that is currently used for Rootsweb's lists is not only no longer supported but is held together with generations of bailing wire and bubble gum. The choice to migrate to new software was really no longer a choice, but a necessity if we are to continue to enjoy the ease of doing genealogy via our email in boxes. Take a deep breath. Count to ten. Do not panic. The tutorial (YES, there will be a tutorial available!) is very user-friendly. The software is easy to use. It will take a wee bit of getting accustomed to and life with it will be a bit different. There is also a new list for anyone to ask questions, seek advice, etc., on the new maillist software, and has been designed for list subscribers to discuss the updates and get/give peer assistance in adjusting e-mail filters, etc.: [email protected] (NOTE: No "-L"!! ... subscribe at mailto:[email protected] OR at mailto:[email protected] ). No doubt there will be other things that arise from time to time as well. As we enter this brave new world, pls contact me at the above admin address with any questions ... as usual, I'll try to assist as quickly as possible! Thanks, and continued good hunting! Peter Wyant List Admin.

Hello, I have placed my "Tweed" index that I extracted and compiled for my own research use on the following website. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~tweed/ I thought it would be a useful tool for others researching the “TWEED” name.

Hello, folks, I'm writing this to advise you of certain difficulties RootsWeb has had over the past several weeks in delivering mail to certain of its lists. In the most recent occurrence, earlier this week, the problem was affecting lists that are on RootsWeb "lists8" server only. This list is on that server, hence this post. Briefly, the problem is that a number of smaller ISPs make use of various commercial services in an effort to control spam. One of those services is SpamCop ... you can find the SpamCop home page at: http://www.spamcop.net/ . Unfortunately, this particular spam control service doesn't really care very much about the accuracy of its protective services. In this recent instance, the RootsWeb "lists8" server was "blacklisted" by SpamCop and thus any ISP that uses this commercial service has rejected all legitimate list mail that it has received from RootsWeb for delivery during the period of outage. The result has been that significant volumes of legitimate list mail to various lists have been undelivered and many subscribers have been bounced off their lists. If you're wondering why the list was quieter than usual earlier this week, this is the reason. SpamCop blacklists for 24 hours and then removes the blacklist item. RootsWeb has done all it can to resolve the issue. They suggest that one thing that subscribers can do is to contact their ISP and request that RootsWeb list mail be "whitelisted", meaning that it will be delivered and the SpamCop settings will be ignored. This will help if the situation reoccurs again in the future. Happy to respond to any subscribers' questions on this, of course ... there are many technical details I haven't provided in this notice ... pls contact me OFF-LIST at: [listname]- [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Regards, Peter Wyant List Admin.
