| 1454 | Baxter moved to Dawn Mills in 1835 and became a partner with William Taylor in the Dawn Mills General Store. His son, Charles, married William Taylory's daughter Mary Ann. | Baxter, A. B. (I623)
|
| 1455 | Beatrice is suspected of having married 10 MAR 1759 in Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland to John or James CAMPBELL. (Groom from Comrie parish and bride from Balquhidder, however the groom's name is recorded in Fiona's transcription as James Campbell, not John. Whereas the OPR baptism records show the father's name as John. The IGI agrees with Fiona, thus any possible error must be presumed to be in the OPR itself.) She is believed to be the mother of the family shown here but her husband and children are not confirmed. | Stewart, Bettrice (I15224)
|
| 1456 | Beatrice was baptised with the name "Beatrice" but in all later records she is shown as "Elisabeth". Her death record confirms that Beatrice and Elisabeth are the same person. It would appear that Beatrice is another Scots substitute name for Elisabeth, or vice versa, due to their common reduction to "Betty". In 1881, Elizabeth was residing with her family in Oxford West. Her brother George Cuthbert and nephew Robert Cuthbert were also residing with them. | Cuthbert, Beatrice (I3296)
|
| 1457 | Beatrice's mother's name is not given in the Balquhidder OPR. | Stewart, Bettrice (I15223)
|
| 1458 | Because their lives were cut short, Robert and Mary have left us no words of their own. There is no first-hand account of their lives. Only two of their four children left surviving descendants, and one of those is in another country, thus reducing the opportunity for even second-hand accounts of their lives to be passed down through the generations. Everything we know about them comes from the accounts of Robert's surviving brothers, Duncan and Peter, as well as public records. What follows is my best attempt to pull together a narrative from those different sources. Robert Stewart was born in 1813 in the clachan of Morell, Easter Glentarken, Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland. The Comrie OPR records his place of birth as "Moril." He was the eighth child of Robert Stewart and Catharine McNaughtan. When Robert was still a young boy, the local landlord in Scotland decided to empty Glen Tarken of residents and forcefully moved all his tenant cottars to the nearby village of St. Fillans. Economic conditions and increasing rents finally drove Robert's family to the point of deciding to leave Scotland and sale to the New World. The entire family emigrated en masse, including all 11 children, the older siblings spouses and their children, as well as Robert's widowed mother. Robert would have been 21 when the family left Scotland. The full story of their hazardous journey, including losing all their possession at the bottom of a river after their barge sank, is detailed in Robert's mother's notes. Upon arriving in Hamilton, Onario, Canada, the family was temporarily quarantined in the waterfront warehouse district due to a cholera outbreak. Having lost all their possessions on the journey, Robert's family presented themselves at the door of their distant cousin, Sir Allan Napier MacNab, latterly of Dundurn Castle, Hamilton. Robert's maternal grandmother was a MacNab from nearby to the original Dundurn in Perthshire, Scotland, not far from Robert's birthplace. MacNab provided housing in Hamilton for the older siblings and likely assisted Robert and the younger siblings in acquiring the farm property in Puslinch. Robert and his wife Mary, along with his younger siblings, Catharine, Peter, and William, as well their widowed mother, Catharine, made the 40 km treck from Hamilton to their new home in Puslinch. There was not much of a road through the forest to travel on. The journey, which today takes about 30 minutes by car, would have taken them at least a full day by horse and wagon. By March 1835 (at the latest) the family had arrived in Puslinch Township, Wellington County, in what was then called Upper Canada (present-day Ontario, Canada). They were among the earliest settlers in Puslinch. They occupied concession 3 lot 19-rear with Robert's in-laws, the Gillespies, occupying the front of the same lot. When they arrived in Puslinch their property would have been uncleared forest. There was nothing there for them to live in. They had to clear the land themselves and build their own accomodations. According to Robert's brother Peter's memoires, Robert and Mary and their family initially lived in a shanty "without any door, but an old country blanket hung over." A later biography of Peter Stewart indicates that the land was originally owned by a Mr. Burnside, however it's more likely that he was just the clerk who sold them the land. The Stewarts appear to have been the original settlers of the property. The Stewarts and the Gillespies seem to have arrived at the same time. It's quite probable that the two families knew each other before coming to Puslinch, and possibly even before coming to Canada. Early census records indicate that the Stewarts were Secessionist Presbyterians, not Church of Scotland. The Secession Presbyterian Church (United Synod) Congregation in Puslinch was organized in part by Hugh Gillespie in 1837. This congregation soon merged with the local Church of Scotland congregation to become Duff's Presbyterian Church. In 1842, Robert Stewart was residing in Puslinch, Wellington, Ontario, Canada with his wife and children. Between February 1848 and January 1849 Robert, his wife Mary and mother Catherine, all died within 11 months of each other. There was a small pox outbreak in the community that year. It is presumed that was their cause of their collective deaths. Robert and Mary had four children (ages 1-11) who found themselves orphaned. Robert's younger brother Peter and sister Catherine were in their 20s by this point (and residing on the same family farm), and assumed guardianship of their orphaned niece and nephews. In 1851, Robert and Mary's older children, Robert, Hugh and Catharine, were residing in Puslinch, Wellington, Ontario, Canada, on the Stewart family farm in the care of their uncle Peter Stewart and aunt Catharine Stewart. Robert and Mary's youngest son, James, was residing in Hamilton, Wentworth, Ontario, Canada in the care of his oldest aunt Margaret McCallum (nee Stewart) and her husband, William McCallum. James would have been still nursing at the time and would have needed a guardian capable of breast feeding him. Aunt Margaret was still having children at that point. Robert Stewart and Mary Gillespie, along with Robert's mother, Catharine McNaughtan, are buried in Crown Cemetery in Puslinch, Wellington, Ontario, Canada, directly across the road from Duff's Presbyterian Church. | Stewart, Robert Jr. (I18087)

|
| 1471 | Benjamin served in 40th Foot under Wellington. Battles of Albuhera, Ciudad Rodrigo, Badajoz & Salamanca. Awarded Military General Service Medal 1793-1814 with four bars. Pensioned in 1813. "Meadows Heritage" - 1983 - indicates he was a British Army Captain at the Battle of Waterloo. [The Somerset Electoral Register - Eastern Division for 1832 - has Benjamin WICKHAM leasing houses and the Horse and Groom Inn at Frome (East Woodlands, Frome, Somerset). Is this the same Benjamin?? Seems highly likely given his activities in 1838/39 below!] Benjamin arrived "Africaine" 12 Nov 1836 with wife Tabitha and children Eliza, Daniel R, and Lucy. Benjamin was present at the Proclamation of South Australia. On 31 Dec 1838, Benjamin was granted a licence to sell wine, beer and other malt liquors. He owned Wickham's Hotel South Tce (Town Acre 691) in 1838-1839. In 1839, property to be 'let or sold'. Benjamin also owned quite a lot of land at various times. Allen's Almanack 1849 has him owning 320 ac Hd Kuitpo, 584 ac Hd Willunga, 84 ac Hd Noarlunga. In 1837 he owned Town Acres 691 on South Terrace, 609 on Gilbert St and 602 on Gilles St. In Noarlunga, owned Sections 725 and 726 on Onkaparinga River. In Hundred of Kuitpo, Sections 3509 and 3510, known as Clear Hills. In Port Lincoln, half acre allotments 25, 131, 197, 237, 262, 389, 422, 474, 764, 929, 941. Also 20 acre blocks 8 and 58. On Boston Island, half acre lots 66 and 115. In the Hundred of Willunga, he owned Sections 568, 569, 572, 573, 574, and mentioned in his will, Sections 530, 722, 723, 533, 724, 725, 726. The Govt. Gazette of 6 Aug 1876 also shows Sections 717, 719, 720 and 301 in name of Mary Ann Wickham. A newspaper obituary at his death indicates he was 104 years old at death. However, the SA Biog. Index indicates born 1791, religion Methodist. An application was made to the Development Assessment Commission by Alistair Gray on 28 February 2002 for restoration and addition to the 1870's Benjamin Wickham Cottage, 245 Elliot Road, Mclaren Flat, Section 717 hundred of Willunga Certificate of title 5362 Folio 210. The cottage was recommended as a place of Local Heritage Value in the Willunga District Heritage Survey 1997 and is proposed to be listed in council's Heritage PAR which is currently being prepared. | Wickham, Benjamin (I20138)
|
| 1472 | Benjamin's family can be found in the 1852. He is a farmer and they are living in a single story log house on lot 9, concession 6, Blenheim, Oxford County, Ontario. | Swears, Benjamin (I18878)
|
| 1473 | Bernard's relationship is inferred from census data. In 1820 he is found in Ripley, Chautauqua County, New York, USA. The only other Furlow family in the entire count is that of Bernard's suggested father, Jacob Furlow. In 1810 Jacob is shown in Onondaga County with an older son, unaccounted for by later family records and matching Bernard's age. From these records it is suggested that Jacob Furlow had a son by a first marriage (previous to his marriage to Mehitable) and that that son was the Bernard Furlow found in Ripley in 1820. Bernard is not found in the 1830 census or any later ones. In 1820 Bernard is shown with his wife and 4 children under 10: 3m-10, 1m26-44, 1f-10, 1f26-44. None of their names are known for certain, but Bernard's cousin, Joseph is found in 1850 with a 50 year old Minerva Furlow who is unaccounted for. It is suggested that she could easily be Bernard's widow. | Furlow, Bernard (I6465)

|
| 1476 | Bessie Miller Macrosty Wife of Robert S. Fisher D. At Greycraig, Saline, Fife 9.12.1910 Aged 31y. | Macrosty, Bessie Miller (I25650)
|
| 1477 | Bessie's name is recorded as Julia E. Pranglin in the 1880 census, but in most other records she is recorded as Bessie. | Henning, Julia Elizabeth (I7643)

|
| 1479 | Bethia was previously married to a man surnamed Stewart. | Bowman, Bethia (I1173)
|
| 1480 | Betsy is not found with her family in 1881 and is presumed to have died as a child. | Tasker, Betsy Isabella (I19087)
|
| 1481 | Betty Udell (nee West) was the wife of David Udell (Bap 3/6/1739, Corsley). They married in Corsley on 24 April 1763. David died 8 Aug 1770 (aged about 31)leaving Betty his widow. They had only one recorded child Sarach Udell (Bap 15/12/1765). | Udell, Betty (I19425)
|
| 1482 | Betty was born in 1935 in Minnesota, USA. In 1940, at age 5, Betty was residing in Flint, Genesee, Michigan, USA, with her parents and siblings. In 1945, Betty's parents divorced. Betty's whereabouts at that time is unknown. It's not known if she was even alive. Betty has not been found in the 1950 census or any later records. Her later whereabouts is unknown. It is not known when she died. | Angus, Betty (I23638)
|
| 1483 | Betty's baptism was recorded on 15 Nov 1797, but a margin note indicates that it was conducted on 12 Nov. Another Betty Bradley, daughter of William and Mary Bradley was baptised nine months later in August 1798. It is presumed that this Betty died in infancy and had a same-named sister baptised nine months later. Or it may be another family with the same parents' names. | Bradley, Betty (I20654)
|
| 1484 | Betty's birth is not verified. It is suggested from the best of two possible IGI matches and onomnastics. | Roscoe, Betty (I13765)
|
| 1485 | Betty/Betsy Angus was born in 1865 in Lancaster, Lancashire, England. She was presumably named after her mother's sister. Her parents were residing at Bridge Lane. Her father was a sawyer. In 1871, at age 5, Betty Angus was residing at 5 Lune Street in Castle Ward, Lancaster, Lancashire, England, with her parents and siblings. In 1881, at age 15, Betty Angus was residing at 4 Lune Street in Castle Ward, Lancaster, Lancashire, England, with her parents and siblings. No marriage record has been found for her. She is not found after 1881 in England or Canada. | Angus, Betsy (I467)
|
| 1486 | Bhaltair = Walter. However he is sometimes elsewhere recorded as William. It may be that William was used as a substitute name for Bhaltair, much as Peter was used as a substitute for Padraig (Patrick). | de Buchanan, Bhaltair 4th of Buchanan (I4129)
|
| 1487 | Bill never married. His parents brought him to Canada as a child to be treated for polio at Toronto's (world renowned) Hospital for Sick Children. | Duncan, William James Hunter (I5348)

|
| 1489 | Biography Early life and education She was born in Edinburgh on 6 November 1874, the daughter of Sir James Henry Ramsay, 10th Baronet. She was educated at Wimbledon High School and the Royal College of Music. On 20 July 1899, she married John Stewart-Murray, Marquess of Tullibardine, who succeeded his father as the 8th Duke of Atholl in 1917, whereupon Katharine became known as the Duchess of Atholl. Political career She was active in Scottish social service and local government, and was appointed a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE) in 1918. She was the Scottish Unionist Party Member of Parliament for Kinross and West Perthshire from 1923 to 1938, and served as Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Education from 1924 to 1929, the first woman to serve in a Conservative government. She resigned the Conservative whip first in 1935 over the India Bill and the "socialist tendency" of the government's domestic policy. Resuming the Whip she resigned it again in 1937 over the Anglo-Italian Agreement. Finally she resigned her seat in parliament in 1938 in opposition to Neville Chamberlain's policy of appeasement of Adolf Hitler. To permit her resignation (technically proscribed by law), she was named Steward of the Chiltern Hundreds on 28 November 1938. She stood in the subsequent by-election as an Independent but lost her seat. She argued that she actively opposed totalitarian regimes and practices. In 1931 she published The Conscription of a People - a protest against the abuse of rights in the Soviet Union. According to her autobiography Working Partnership (1958) it was at the prompting of Ellen Wilkinson that in April 1937 she, Eleanor Rathbone, and Wilkinson, went to Spain to observe the effects of the Spanish Civil War. In Valencia , Barcelona and Madrid she saw the impact of Luftwaffe bombing on behalf of the Nationalists, visited prisoners of war held by the Republicans and considered the impact of the conflict on women and children in particular. Her book Searchlight on Spain resulted from this involvement, and her support for the Republican side in the conflict led to her being nicknamed by some the 'Red Duchess'. However, Cowling cites her as saying that she supported the Republican government because "a government [Franco's] which used Moors could not be a national government". Her opposition to the British policy of non-intervention in Spain epitomised her attitudes and actions. She campaigned against the Soviet control of Poland, Czechoslovakia and Hungary as the chairman of the British League for European Freedom from 1945. In 1958 she published a biography of her life with her husband entitled Working Partnership. She was also a Vice-President of the Girls' Public Day School Trust from 1924-1960. She was also a keen composer, composing music to accompany the poetry of Robert Louis Stevenson. Military Appointments She was closely involved in her husband's Regiment the Scottish Horse and composed their march "The Scottish Horse" which was designed to be played on the bagpipes. When her husband died in 1942 she took over the appointed of Honorary Colonel a position she retained until 1952. She died on 21 October 1960. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katharine_Marjory_Stewart-Murray,_Duchess_of_Atholl The Duke and Duchess of Atholl had no children. | Ramsay, Dame Katherine Marjory DBE.

| 1491 | Birth and baptism as shown here are unconfirmed. However, the 1841 census shows only one William Tasker in Leeds and the IGI shows only one William Tasker born in Leeds and the dates are close. In 1841 William is recorded as a border, age 20, in Leeds, residing with Samuel Stead, age 15. 1871 Census: 15 - TASKER , WILLIAM, Age [55] Birthplace [ENGLAND] Religion [ CE] Ethnic Origin [ ENGLISH] Occupation [ FARMER] District [2] Sub District [B] Division Page [2] Page [29] County [KEN] Description [Tilbury East Twp.] 1901 census gives William's date of birth and shows him as having emigrated from England in 1843. It shows his third wife, Philedelphia, having emigrated in 1874. As family tradition says that they met on the boat it is presumed they married shortly after 1874. Job Tasker's death certificate gives his father's place of birth as "Leeds, Yorkshire". | Tasker, William (I19035)
