| 1801 | Cormac was one of the most famous of the ancient Ard Righean (High Kings) of Ireland. He was called "Ulfhada" = "long beard". He was described as "the wisest, most learned, and best of any of his race before him that ruled the Kingdom of Ireland. He ordained several good laws, wrote several learned treatises, among which his treatise on Kingly Government, directed to his son, Cairbre, is extant and extraordinary. He was very magnificent in his housekeeping and attendants, having always 1150 persons in his daily retinue constantly attending at his Great Hall at Tara; which was 300 feet long, 30 cubits high, and 50 cubits broad, with fourteen doors to it. His daily service of plate, flagons, drinking cups of gold, silver, and precious stones, at his table, ordinarily consisted of 150 pieces, besides dishes etc., which were all pure silver or gold. He ordained that ten choice persons should constant attend him and his successors, as High Kings of Ireland, and never to be absent from him. These were to include: a nobleman to be his companion; a judge to deliver and explain the laws to the country in the King's presence upon all occasions; an antiquary or historiographer to declare and preserve the genealogies, acts and occurances of the nobility and gentry from time to time as occasion required [note the anachronistic titles]; a druid or magician to offer sacrifice and presage good or bad omens as his learning, skill, or knowledge would enable him; a poet to praise or dispariase every one according to his good or bad actions; a physician to adminsiter physic to the king and queen, and to the rest of the royal family; a musician to compose music and sing pleasant sonnets in the king's presence; and three stewards to govern the king's house in all things appertaining thereunto. This custom was observed by all the succeeding High Kings down to Brian Boramhu, without any alteration only that since they received the Christian faith they changed the druid for a prelate of the Church." He is claimed to have converted to Christianity seven years before his death, and was said to have banished his druids thereafter. It is said that his banished druids then conjured against him and caused him to choke on a fish bone and die in 266 in the 40th year of his reign. He is reported to have had ten daughters, only two of whom are known. | Airt, Cormac Ulfhada mac (I145)

| 1802 | Cornelise Antonissen Van Slyke born in Brueckelen, Netherlands in 1604. Brueckelen, Netherlands gave its name to Brueckelen, New Netherlands which later became Brooklyn, New York. Cornelise's Mohawk-French wife Ots-Toch was born abt.1620 at Canajoharie, New York. Cornelis came to the New World in May of 1634, settling at Beverwyck and then Schenectady, New York. Cornelis was known by several names, making research on him somewhat complicated, but not impossible. He can be found in the various records of the time as Cornelis Teunissen, Cornelis Antonissen, Cornelis Van Slicht (as he himself signed his contract with Kilean Van Rensellaer in 1634), Cornelis van Breuckelen (from Breuckelen) as he was called by van Rensellaer, Broer (brother) Cornelis as called by the Mohawks and Brodeur (brother) by the Dutch. Cornelis Van Slyke's story is of a Dutchman who came to the New World as a carpenter at the age of 30, who became an interpreter for the Mohawk nation, was adopted into the tribe, and who met and married a French-Mohawk woman, Ots-Toch, who never left her native village. Their children, who were all raised at Canajoharie, one of the Mohawk castles or villages, became well-known and respected in the Dutch community. All except one left the village and married Dutch settlers. (c) Lorine McGinnis-Schulze, OliveTree Genealogy. | Van Slyke, Cornelis Antonissen (I19555)

| 1804 | Corsley Bishop's Transcripts note: "Nathan Prangley has been absent for four of five years and the child [John] is supposed to be about two years old - spurious". The Bishop's Transcripts used "spurious" to mean "illegitimate". So John was a child of Ann Prangley nee Marvin, but by an unknown father. Census records show John's birth as being anywhere between 1805-1811. In 1841 he is found living with his wife Charlotte, son Moses, and a 60 year old shepherd, John Potter. Note: Nathan Potter Prangley contemporary with his father, Nathan Prangley. | Prangley, John (I12829)

| 1807 | Courtland was married but his wife's name and children's names are unknown. Courtland owned a farm in Zimmerman Township, Halton County, Ontario. One day he came in from the fields and found his wife in bed with one of the farm hands. In the passion of the moment Courtland went down to the basement to fetch his rifle. He stood in the basement underneath the bedroom and pointed the gun up at the ceiling to where the bed would be and fired. His shot thankfully missed his intended targets, but Courtland was charged with attempted murder. He fled the country with the assistance of his brother and ended up in England. He and his brother continued to correspond through secret messages, but his brother would burn these letters as soon as he finished reading them. Courtland's whereabouts in England is unknown. | Bridgman, Courtland Freeman (I1328)

| 1808 | Credit must go to Scottish professional family history researcher, Gordon MacGregor, author of The Redbook of Scotland, who discovered this branch. Prior to Gordon's research there was no knowledge that the Stewarts of Garchell even existed as this family became extinct within a few generations.] Alexander Stewart's birthdate is estimated based on his father's estimated date of birth. His birth location is not known. He was likely born before his father acquired the lands of Baldorran in 1457, so he was likely born somewhere in his great-grandmother's lands of the Lennox. Alexander Stewart, of Garrochquill or Garchell, brother of William Stewart of Baldoran, appears as witness to several documents concerning his brother, William, including a Charter by Archibald de Buchannan for the lands of Lettir on 1 May, 1484. Alexander obtained the lands of Garrochquill/Garrochill/Garchell, in Stirlingshire, which were held of the Stewarts of Darnley and for which he had a new infeftment from Matthew, Earl of Lennox, on 21 March, 1513. (Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland) Alexander married Janet, sister and heir of John Galbraith of Garrochquill/Garchell, by 19 January 1489 when Walter Stewart of Morphie (Alexander's cousin), acting as Janet’s procurator, appeared in the Sheriff Court in Stirling in connection with a brief for having her served heir to the lands of Garchell. (Garchell is a lazy phonetic abbreviation of Garrochquill.) Alexander died by 1505 when his son James succeeded to the estate of Garchell. | Stewart, Alexander 1st of Garrochquill (I15035)

| 1809 | Crinan was Mormaer of Atholl, Abthane of Dule, Steward of the Western Isles, and Lay Abbott of Dunkeld. He was the father of King Duncan I "The Gracious" of Scotland, and thus became the founder of the Royal House of Dunkeld. Crinan was killed in battle against MacBeth (of Shakespearian fame). | Atholl, Crinan of (I243)

|
| 1813 | Cunedda is credited with founding the kingdom of Gwynedd. (In Welsh the these words would be pronouced "Koonetha" and "G/Kooneth", nearly identical.) According to legend, he was leader of the Votadini in southern Scotland, who, in the early fifth century, led his people into north Wales, driving out the Irish with a great slaughter. Gwynedd was one of the most prominent Welsh kingdoms, based upon the Isle of Anglesey and Snowdonia. It was founded in the immediate post-Roman period and prospered in the eleventh and twelfth centuries. | Edern, Cunedda ap (I5513)

| 1816 | Cuthbert worked on a family history and traced the Cuthbert family back to Forres, Moray, Scotland. The family were harness makers in the early 19th century. Cuthbert told a story about having travelled to Forres in Scotland where he could find no traces of the Cuthbert family having ever lived there except for one farmer who had a horse harness with the Cuthbert name on it. | McRitchie, Rev. Frank Cuthbert (I11024)
|
| 1817 | Cuthbert, James (fl. 1741-1798), legislative councillor, was the son of Alexander Cuthbert, of Inverness, Scotland, and Beatrix, daughter of David Cuthbert, of Ardresier, and belonged to a cadet branch of the barons of Castlehill. He served first in the British navy, and was present at the bombardment of Cartagena, Columbia, in 1741. Later he obtained a commission in the British army. He was attached first to the Black Watch, and then to the 15th Regiment, and attained the rank of captain. He was present at Louisbourg in 1758 and the Plains of Abraham in 1759; and he was sent by General Murray, whose aide-de-camp he was, to England to carry the news of the capture of Quebec. In 1765 he acquired the seigniory of Berthier, and he lived at Berthier for the rest of his life. In 1766 he was appointed by Murray to the Executive Council; and in 1775 he became a member of the Legislative Council. He encountered the hostility of both Carleton and Haldimand; and in 1786 he was dropped from the Council. The exact date of his death does not appear to be known; but died in 1798. He was thrice married. By his wife Catherine (d. 1785), he had three sons and seven daughters. See Abbé S. A. Moreau, L'honorable James Cuthbert, père (Bull. rech. hist., 1901). Source : W. Stewart WALLACE, ed., The Encyclopedia of Canada, Vol. II, Toronto, University Associates of Canada, 1948, 411p., pp. 168-169. Posted at http://faculty.marianopolis.edu/c.belanger/QuebecHistory/encyclopedia/JamesCuthbert1741-1798-QuebecHistory.htm James Cuthbert was confirmed by the Lord Lyon as 11th in descent from George Cuthbert of Castle Hill, and as "son and heir of Alexander Cuthbert of Inverness, Esquire and Beatrix, daughter of David Cuthbert of Ardersier, Esquire. " The Dictionary of Canadian Biography says the following about James: CUTHBERT, JAMES, army officer, merchant, justice of the peace, and legislative councillor; b. c. 1719, probably at Farness (Highlands), Scotland, son of Alexander and Beatrix Cuthbert; m. 1749 Margaret Mackenzie; m. secondly 1766 Catherine Cairns, and they had three sons and seven daughters; m. thirdly 23 March 1786 Rebecca Stockton; d. 17 Sept. 1798 at Berthier-en-haut (Berthierville, Que.). The descendant of an old noble family, James Cuthbert began his career in the Royal Navy. Captain and commanding officer of an independent infantry company by October 1760, he was also a captain in the 101st Foot until December 1762, when he transferred to the 15th Foot.

| 1819 | Cynan (Welsh for "Conan") fought with his brother, Hywel, for control of Anglesey. Cynan gained possession in 816, but died later the same year. Cynan's daugher, Ethyllt, was the mother of Merfyn Frych and founded a new line of Gwynedd kings. | Rhodri, Cynan Ap (I13553)

| 1821 | Dafydd (Welsh for "David") was the only legitimate son of Llewelyn the Great, and was due to inherit his father's land and title. However Dafydd's illegitimate elder brother, Gruffydd (Welsh for "Griffith") contested the inheritance. King Henry III of England took advantage of the dispute and led a campaign against Dafydd in 1245. Dafydd died a year later. | Llewelyn, Dafydd ap (I9008)
|
| 1822 | Dalton's first name is not confirmed. He is only found in the 1891 census where his name appears to read "Daljams." No such name as "Daljams" is known, however comparison with other close pages of the same census would lead me to believe that the name may actually be "Dalton" -- a known surname in the area. | Taylor, Dalton (I19195)
|
| 1823 | Daniel and his wife along with two children (presumably their first two) emigrated from Rotterdam, Palatine, Germany, arriving in 27 Sep 1746 in Philadelphia on the galley "Ann", under Captain William Wilson, by way of Orkney, Scotland. Whether they were themselves from Rotterdam or simply departed from Rotterdam is unknown. Daniel appears to be the only male in his family to have not served in the army during the American Revolution -- or the record of his service has not been found.

|
| 1825 | Daniel has not been found in any later records and is presumed to have died young. | Cuthbert, Daniel (I3166)
|
| 1826 | Daniel has not been found in any records other than his birth. His father, John Stewart, is described in 1815 in Stewarts of the South as having 5 sons, two of whom were adults. Therefore Daniel must have been alive around 1815 when Stewarts of the South was written. His niece, Susan Stewart, in Australia, named one of her children Donald Stewart Bain, possibly after this Donald Stewart. So it's possible that Daniel Stewart migrated to Australia ahead of his nieces. | Stewart, Daniel (I15494)
|
| 1827 | Daniel has not been identified in the 1881 census for Canada or the 1880 census for the USA. He is presumed to have died by 1880/81. | Furler, Daniel L. (I6443)
|
| 1828 | Daniel is a substitute name for Donald. Daniel is given in Stewarts of the South as the patriarch of 4 Line of the Stewarts of Dalveich. This branch resided in Walbeich. No such place has been identified on any maps, but its name would suggest that it was located somewhere in Glen Beich. It may be an Anglicization of Bhalbeich, or Balbeich, suggesting "farmstead of the birch trees". Daniel's parentage is not known. He is shown here as a son of Donald Stewart in Wester Ardveich simply because he fits chronologically and onomastically as well as fitting the accounting pattern of Stewarts of the South. Daniel is described in Stewarts of the South as "once a tacksman in Walbeich" and also as the father of John, Duncan, Lt. Alexander, and Donald. However current research suggests that Stewarts of the South is off by one generation and that Daniel may have been the grandfather of these four brothers, but their father appears far more likely to have been Robert, as shown here. All of the four sons named in Stewarts of the South had eldest sons named Robert, strongly suggesting that their father was named Robert. There is a family headed by a Robert Stewart in Dalveich whose children match almost perfectly with the sons shown for this branch. | Stewart, Daniel in Walbeich (I15593)
|
| 1829 | Daniel is described in the 1814 Moss Census has having been born in 1791 and having died in infancy. His baptism was recorded in 1795. It seems most likely that the Moss Census has his date of death incorrect. Otherwise there would have to have been two Daniels who both died as children, but the Moss Census mentions only one. | Stewart, Daniel (I15495)
|
| 1830 | Daniel Stewart Jr has not been found in records after his baptism. 18 year old James Stewart is found in the 1851 census residing with Daniel Stewart Sr and Christian McNab. His relationship to them is not given. He's too young to be their son. He's exactly the right age to be their grandson by their first son, Daniel Jr, who is presumed to have died before the 1851 census. | Stewart, Daniel Jr. (I26134)
|
| 1831 | Daniel Stewart was born in 1822 in St. Anicet, Huntingdon, Quebec, Canada. In 1825, Daniel's father, Duncan Stewart is shown residing in a house with 11 occupants: 2 under the age of 6 (Charles 6 and Daniel 3); 2 between 6-14 (John 13 and Peter 9); 2 between 14-18 (Archibald 16 and Jannet 16); 2 males between 18-25 (Alexander and James D); one male over 60 (Duncan 50); one single female between 14-45 (Mary); one married female between 14-45 (unknown); and one married female over 45 (Agnes McGregor). Also residing in Dundee at the time was Robert Stewart with one child under 6, one male 18-25, and one married female between 14-45. Robert is of no known relation to Duncan. In 1861, at age 38, Daniel Stewart was residing in St. Anicet, Huntingdon, Quebec, Canada, with his wife Sarah, age 28, and their children Margaret Ann 3, Agnes 2, Also residing with them was his sister, Jennet Stewart, age 49, and his mother, Agnes McGregor, age 80. Daniel was employed as a farmer. In 1871, at age 47, Daniel was residing in St. Anicet, Huntingdon, Quebec, Canada, with his wife Sarah and their children, Margaret Ann 13, Agnes 11, Janet 9, Archibald 8, and John 3. His sister, Janet, age 60 was residing with them. They were living two houses from his sister-in-law Nancy, widow of Daniel's brother John. Two houses further away was his brother Charles and family. 04-25-1876 Daniel Stewart, died in the Parish of St Anicet, Aged 54 years. (The Gleaner newspaper, Huntingdon, Quebec, 1876) Daniel Stewart is buried in Zion United Church Cemetery, St. Anicet, Huntingdon, Quebec, Canada. | Stewart, Daniel (I24941)

| 1832 | Daniel was a rabbit catcher and gamekeeper at Westerton on the Ochtertyre estate. He descends from the Stewarts of Lednascriddan. He was born in 1818 in the village of Strathyre in Balquhidder parish, Perthshire, Scotland. Nothing is known of his younger years. On 7 Nov 1839, Daniel Stewart married in Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland, to Catherine Ann McDiarmid. There is another couple with exactly the same names who also married in 1819 in the adjacent parish of Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland. In 1841, at age 20, Daniel Stewart was residing at House of Burn in Monzievaird, Perthshire, Scotland. He was employed as a male servant in the household of 45 year old Duncan McGregor and his family. Also residing in the house was 20 year old Catherine Drummond (possibly an error for his wife Catherine McDiarmid as they were married at the time but had not had their first child yet and she has not been found elsewhere in 1841.), 20 year old Robert Bryson, and 10 year old Peter Stalker. (note Janet Stalker in 1851) In 1851, at age 32, Daniel was residing in Westerton, Monzievaird, Perthshire, Scotland, with his family. He was employed as a church officer. His place of birth is given as Balquhidder in 1819. Also residing with them was 36 year old Janet Stalker who is listed as a daughter. This may be an error. On 25 Jun 1856, he departed London on the ship Cresswell and arrived in Nelson, New Zealand on 6 Oct 1856. He travelled with his wife Catherine (41) and their children Betsy, James, Margaret, Catherine, Jessie, William Robertson, Cambell Colquhoun. His occupation was listed as a rabbit catcher. On Donald/Daniel Stewart's death notice in the Nelson, NZ, it says that Donald was a Gamekeeper at Ochtertyre in the Parish of Monevaird, Perthshire to Sir William Murray. According to family records: "Daniel Stewart was born in 1815 (sic) at Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland. He was married in 1839 at Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland to Catherine McDairmid who was born 1815 at Killen, Perthshire, Scotland. They came to Nelson, NZ in 1856 on board the "Cresswell" along with their 7 children; Elizabeth [Betsy]. James, Margaret, Catherine, Jessie, William Robertson & Campbell Colquhoun. They settled in what was called 'The Wood' area, and is still referred to that to this day in time. Daniel’s occupations over the years varied, but the main one was as a Rabbit catcher, one that he was also employed at in Scotland. Daniel & Catherine died within a short time of each other - Catherine in February 1894 and Daniel in July 1894. They are both buried at Wakapuaka Cemetery, Nelson, New Zealand."

| 1834 | Daniel was one of several children from this family. Full descendant information is available from John Jennings of Australia. Listed in Register of Emigrant Labourers applying for Free Passage to SA as No 434, farm labourer of 59 Hatton Gardens, London. The Wickham family arrived in South Australia on the "Africaine" on 12 Nov 1836. "Africaine" landed at Glenelg from London. The Wickhams lived at Glenelg, then Adelaide.

| 1835 | Daniel Zwears was born in Germany in 1744. His exact place of birth is unknown. He emigrated with his parents when he was only 2 years old. The Zwears family settled in Lancaster Township, Worcester County, Massachusetts, when it was still a British Colony. This is where it is believed that Daniel was raised. He was a member the Church of Christ in Lancaster. He married Abigail Willard in 1770 and began a family with her in Lancaster. Daniel Zwears is believed to have served as a private in the American Revolution in 1776. After the war, the family moved to Dummerston Township, Windham County, Vermont about 1778 where they spent the remainder of their life. Three of their children were born in Massachusetts and the remaining three were born in Vermont. With Daniel, the surname Zwiers undergoes its first Anglicization shift to Zwears. Two generations later it will have become Sweers.

Daniel is recorded in Mitchell's Monumental inscriptions for Kilmahog Cemeter #25 as: "son Daniel, banker (at) Doune, 21 MAR 1857, age 69." Daniel Stewart was Schoolmaster in Doune prior to becoming the banker. Mackay, in his book, Doune Historical Notes, cites that sometime around 1818 Daniel Stewart, schoolmaster in Doune, became secretary of the Kilmadock Parish Savings Bank in Doune. In 1840 he became the first Doune agent of the Glasgow Union Banking Company (later known as the Union Bank of Scotland). In 1852 a man named William Morrison broke into Daniel Stewart's house by way of a window and stole a metal box containing just over £1000 (equivalent to about £60,000/$120,000 US/$150,000 Cdn today). The money was said to have been hidden under the schoolmaster's bed. Morrison was caught and sentenced to 14 years transportation to one of the colonies. The indictment also identifies Daniel's sister, Jean Stewart, as another victim of the crime; she had a thimble stolen. William Morrison - Robber Colleen Caygun, a descendant of William Morrison contacted us confirming that Morrison was tried and convicted on 21 Jul 1852 at Edinburgh and transported on 20 Sep 1856 to Australia and sentenced to 14 years. He was forced to leave behind a wife and two sons whom he never saw again. He eventually took a new wife in Australia and had a second family of 8 children whose descendants continue in Australia to this day. The 1841 census shows Daniel Stewart, b abt 1796 in Perthshire, res Doune School Lane, Kilmadock, occ teacher, residing with Janet McArthur, servant, age 15, and Alex McFarlan, age 6 (no relationship given). The 1851 census shows Daniel Stewart, b 1790 in Callander, res 6 Church St., Doune, Kilmadock, occ schoolmaster, with sister, Jean Stewart, b, 1788 in Callander, occ domestic, Ann Mclaren, b 1831 in Kilmadock, servant, Alexander McFarlane, nephew, b 1836 in Callander, scholar, and John McFarlane, nephew, b. 1840 in Callander, scholar. It would appear that Daniel never married nor had children. | Stewart, Daniel (I15595)

| 1837 | Daniel's date of birth is not known. His year of death is known but his age at death is not known. The only point of reference is that his brother Seth John Cuthbert was born in 1741. It's not known if Daniel was an older or younger brother. Daniel and his brother Isaac were members of the District Congress of Darien, Georgia in 1775 (Bulloch). According to several affidavits sworn in 1835 and 1836 in application for Daniel's pension, he is said to have been a soldier in the Georgia Continental Line during the Revolutionary War. In one of these affidavits he is described as having died at Sunbury, Liberty County, Georgia in or about 1804, "leaving neither wife nor legitimate child. His next of kin at the time of his death were his brother Isaac Cuthbert and two nephews: Alfred and John A. Cuthbert." His two nephews are said to have been his "only heirs". http://www.southerncampaign.org/pen/blwt2142-300.pdf Pension application of Daniel Alexander Culbert BLWt 2142-300 fn15Ga Transcribed by Will Graves Georgia, City of Savannah Personally appeared before me Joseph Stiles of the City of Savannah and State of Georgia who being duly sworn deposeth That he knew one Daniel Alexander Cuthbert to have been in the Georgia Continental line, during the revolutionary war.

| 1842 | Data on this family comes from a member-submitted Ancestral File at LDS. The fact that Amelia shares the same date of birth (but a different year) with her same named sister suggests to me that there may be an error here. I suspect there is only one Amelia and that either the second is based on a trascription error or a later baptism. | Miskin, Amelia (I11394)

| 1849 | David Angus was born 12 Sep 1817 in Lancaster and baptized on 30 Nov 1817 in St Mary's parish church in Lancaster, Lancashire, England, as the son of John Angus, a labourer, and his wife, Mary. On 29 Jan 1818, at age 16 months, David Angus is listed among the children of John Angus who were removed by writ from Lancaster to Over Wyresdale and placed in the care of the Overseers of the Poor. (See full text John Angus' notes.) However, at some point they managed to return to Lancaster, as three of David's siblings, Thomas, Jane and Eleanor all died in 1825 in Lancaster, Lancashire, England. In 1851, there is a David Angus residing in Everton, Liverpool, Lancashire, England, born about 1818 in Lancaster, Lancashire and married to Mary, who was born in Gerthon, Galway, Ireland. It is not certain that it is the same David, though no other contemporary David Angus has been found in Lancaster. Assuming that it is this David Angus then a matching marriage record can be found for David Angus, a porter, of full age, son of John Angus, a labourer, who married on 12 Sep 1844 in Liverpool, Lancashire, England to Mary Shaw, of full age, daughter of David Shaw, a labourer. Both bride and groom were from the West Derby Hundred, which area includes Everton. It should be noted that if this marriage is correct, then David's bride and his mother had identical names. No David Angus, born in England around 1817 can be found in Lancashire in the 1841 census, however there is a David Angus, born 1817 in Scotland, residing in 1841 in Liverpool, Lancashire, England, in a group boarding house, employed as a male servant. He is not found in any other records. Given that it was a boarding house, it's highly possible that the enumerator got his place of birth incorrect. There is a corresponding death for a David Angus in Liverpool on 9 Apr 1853, who is buried in the Necropolis (Low Cemetery) in Liverpool, Lancashire, England. | Angus, David (I20657)
|
| 1850 | David continued on the family farm at Wester Cowden. One child's birth is recorded as being at Burnt Cowden, which is west of Cowden. It is possible that Burnt Cowden and Wester Cowden are the same place. | Drummond, David (I5090)
