| 2351 | Elizabeth was 22 years old when she was baptized. It seems likely that she was baptized at the time of her wedding. | Furler, Elizabeth C. (I6417)
|
| 2352 | Elizabeth was born after her family immigrated to the USA. Her birth date is estimated to be about 1744 based on her age at her time of death. She was presumably born in Bladen County, North Carolina, USA, although no record of her birth has been found. In 1763, Elizabeth's father, Patrick Stewart, 5th of Ledcreich, dictated a detailed family tree, subsequently added to by her nephew, Dr. James Caraway, in 1789, and, at an unknown date by her nephew-in-law, Dr. Morgan Brown, in which Elizabeth is described as: "Elizabeth, the youngest daughter of Patrick Stewart, married James Stewart, by whom she had five children: Catherine, married to Thomas Caraway; James, living in the Mississippi State; Elizabeth, married to William Jordan; Margaret, married to Pope and lives in South Carolina; Charles, who joined the patriots in Mexico and has not been heard of since." Elizabeth, the youngest daughter of Patrick Stewart, married James Stewart, by whom she had five children: Catherine, married to Thomas Caraway; James, living in the Mississippi State; Elizabeth, married to William Jordan; Margaret, married to Pope and lives in South Carolina; Charles, who joined the patriots in Mexico and has not been heard of since. Stewart Clan Magazine in 1935 says, "James Stewart... married his cousin (sic), Elizabeth Stewart, daughter of Patrick Stewart of Brown's Marsh. He perhaps lived for a time in that part of Bladen county which was set off as Robeson county [cf. Charles, B:171]. Children: Catherine: m. Thomas Caraway; James Caraway: lived in Mississippi; Elizabeth: m. William Gordon; Margaret: m. _____ Pope : lived in South Carolina; Charles: joined the patriots in Mexico [1810] and was never heard from." (Edson, George, Stewart Clan Magazine, Tome C, June 1935, vol. xii, no. 12, pp.125-126.) In a later 1957 article, Stewart Clan Magazine says: "Elizabeth Stewart, born about 1744, married James Stewart, her cousin. (sic) The biographical sketch written presumably by Morgan Brown spoke of Elizabeth as "youngest daughter of Patrick Stewart" and gave the names of her five children, with a bit about them, such as "James Carraway Stewart, living in Mississippi,"* but said no more about Elizabeth or her husband, except to state that they were cousins. "As this James was not the son of William, brother of Patrick, he may have been a brother -- or even cousin -- of Thomas Stewart, who married Elizabeth's sister Margaret, for their mutual affiliation with the Carraway family is indicative of that. The earliest trace of this James Stewart+ in the land records was when he bought Dec. 19, 1766, of Joseph Clarke, for 220 pounds, 292 acres of land along the banks of Cape Fear River, on the southwest side, in Bladen County, and Pat. Stuart and Peter Broades signed as witnesses. The purchase money may have been supplied by Elizabeth's father as a dowry, for that was about the time she was married to James Stewart. Old Patrick Stewart stuck to the spelling Stewart, and it may have been William's son Patrick, of Tory leanings, who signed as a witness. Young Patrick and James may have been hobnobbing together, since the arrival of a considerable number of Highlanders who had been in the fighting of 1745-6 had stirred up a political commotion in the localities where they settled. Liberal grants of land were made to the erstwhile 'rebels', and each grant was so worded as to impress upon the recipient that it was bestowed directly by the gracious hand of his majesty, the King of Great Britain. It irked the old-timers, as if they were looked upon as the tagrag and bobtail of the population. "James Stewart sold July 22, 1775, to John Slingsby of Wilmington, New Hanover County, for 268 pounds, the 292 acres on the Cape Fear River, which he had bought Dec. 19. 1766, of Joseph Clarke. "After the defeat of the Tory militia at Moore's Creek Bridge on Feb. 27, 1776, James appeared as a land-owner in Robeson County, between Sept. 17, 1777, and Oct. 10, 1787, by purchase or patent under the state government, until he owned six or seven tracts of land, mostly on Drowning Creek and Ashpole Swamp. He died or disappeared before 1790, for the census of that year showed Elizabeth Stewart, 0-3-1 [0m>16, 3m<16, 1f]; that is, no man over 16 years of age, three boys under 16, and one woman, including the head of the family. "In 1795 Elizabeth brought a suit of attachment against James' property, and as a result the sheriff sold July 18, 1795, 200 acres of his land on Drowning creek to Thomas Carraway, who conveyed it to Elizabeth on Nov. 16, 1795. Thereupon Elizabeth -- signing her name Stuart -- sold the place Nov. 23, 1795, for 60 pounds, to John Davis, who was living on the place at the time. On Aug. 20, 1800, James Stuart of Adams county, Mississippi Territory, deeded to Thomas Carraway of Cumberland county and Charles Stuart of Robeson county, for $2000, his interest in the six tracts of land in Robeson county, totaling 960 acres, which had belonged to his father, James Stewart. Witnesses to this deed were James Carraway, Hugh McLachlan and C. S. Carraway. Thomas Carraway++ and Charles G. Stuart of Cumberland County sold three of the tracts May 2, 1801, to Giles Williams, for $1000, and the other three to Absalom Williams for $1000, the witnesses to both deeds being George Moore and Benjamin Lee. Children of James and Elizabeth: [continued below footnotes] ---------------- * As the James Stuart referred to was dead by Sep. 28, 1824, this was written before that date. + Still, this James Stewart may have been Patrick's son instead of his new son-in-law. ++ Thomas Carraway and William Jordan were administrators of the estate of Charles Stewart in Montgomery county, Tennessee, in 1817, =E:237. -------------------- [Children of James and Elizabeth continued from above] Catherine : m. Thomas Carraway James*, Sep. 23, 1767 : m. May 25, 1796, Lucretia Calvert, Natchez, Mississippi Elizabeth : m. William Jordan Margaret+ : m. _____ Pope : lived in South Carolina Charles : "joined the patriots in Mexico and was never heard from" ---------------- * It was James Carraway Stewart, "living in Mississippi," in Morgan Brown's sketch. + Margaret's date of birth was probably in the late 1760s or early 1770s, and she must have been married before the census of 1790 was taken. She had some brothers who are unaccounted for. (Edson, George, Stewart Clan Magazine, Tome G, February 1957, vol. 34, no. 8, pp.185-188.) | Stewart, Elizabeth (I16072)
|
| 2353 | Elizabeth was only 16 when her first child was born. | Elizabeth (I5583)
|
| 2354 | Elizabeth was only 9 years old when her father died. In 1763, Elizabeth's uncle, Patrick Stewart, dictated a detailed family tree, which was subsequently added to by by Dr. James Caraway in 1789, in which Elizabeth is described as "Elizabeth married ___ Ventress, and had several children, names unknown." Elizabeth Stewart is recorded as age 56 at her time of death. "The Invincible" publication gives her husband's name incorrectly as "Col. Hamilton, US Army." This is a confusion for her niece Eliza Stewart, who was the daughter of Col. Duncan Stewart. | Stewart, Elizabeth (I16065)
|
| 2355 | Elizabeth was residing with her parents in 1861 and 1871 and employed as a housekeeper. | Stewart, Elizabeth (I16145)
|
| 2356 | Elizabeth was residing with her widowed mother in 1881 and 1891. | Brown, Elizabeth (I1681)
|
| 2357 | Elizabeth was the first school teacher in Pleasantdale, Saskatchewan. | Stewart, Elizabeth M. (I16135)
|
| 2358 | Elizabeth was the illegitimate daughter of King Henry I by an unknown mother. She was not the daughter of Matilda of Scotland nor was she the daughter of Sybilla Corbet as some sources indicate. | England, Elizabeth of (I5677)
|
| 2359 | Elizabeth was the sister of Henry Dunster, the first president of Harvard University. She was also the cousin of her husband's third wife. | Dunster, Elizabeth (I5402)
|
| 2360 | Elizabeth Wright and James Sterritt were residing in Portadown, Armagh, Northern Ireland in 1901 and 1911. | Wright, Elizabeth (I21036)
|
| 2361 | Elizabeth Wright and James Sterritt were residing in Portadown, Armagh, Northern Ireland in 1901 and 1911. | Sterritt, James (I21041)
|
| 2362 | Elizabeth's birth as shown here is not confirmed. It is merely a guess based on matching onomastics, geography, and chronology. | McFarlane, Elizabeth (I9971)
|
| 2363 | Elizabeth's birth date as given here is an estimate only. Her actual age at death is unknown. | Ferguson, Elizabeth (I5934)
|
| 2364 | Elizabeth's birth is according to family records; she has not been found in the Callander OPR. | Stewart, Elizabeth (I16097)
|
| 2365 | Elizabeth's birth is not confirmed, but there were only two households of Simpsons living in Alston at the time and only one of them had a daughter named Elizabeth. Thus it is suggested that Elizabeth is the sister of Isabella Simpson, who married Joseph Dawson, first cousin of Whitfield Dawson. | Simpson, Elizabeth (I14329)
|
| 2366 | Elizabeth's birth is not found in the Callander OPR but is recorded in family records. She is presumed to have died young prior to the birth of her same-named sister in 1770. | Stewart, Elizabeth (I16096)
|
| 2367 | Elizabeth's birth record is not confirmed. Her descendant is a DNA match for me. LesliePetersen's Notes: Seem to indicate that John McKenna and Annie Brown were the McKenna sisters parents, and that they married around 1870. But that doesn't work with children's birthdates... Mary, Elizabeth and Annie's parents were a McKenna and Brown. At this time Patrick and Elizabeth seem the likeliest candidates. Elizabeth died in 1869, a year after her husband, leaving the children orphaned, all under age 13. | Brown, Elizabeth (I21084)
|
| 2368 | Elizabeth's burial is recorded in Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions for Port of Menteith Cemetery: "45 Duncan STEWART and Mary SANDS in Lochend, daughter Elizabeth 7 MAR 1826, age 15." She is buried next to her parents. Several on-line genealogies wrongly show her marrying in 1828 to John Maclean and emigrating to Oro Township, Simcoe County, Ontario, Canada, but this marriage is impossible as she was dead at the time. | Stewart, Elizabeth (I16100)
|
| 2369 | Elizabeth's burial was two days after the birth of her only child. She is presumed to have died in childbirth. Marriage: 29 Oct 1771 St John the Baptist, Pilling, Lancashire, England Robert Gregson - (X), Hamilton in the Parish of Kirkham Elizabeth Topping - (X), Pilling Witness: John Danson; James Cropper Married by Banns by: Cuthbert Harrison Register: Marriages 1754 - 1798 Baptism: 10 Apr 1773 St John the Baptist, Pilling, Lancashire, England Betty Gregson - dau of Robert Gregson Notes: [Greavon in BT's] Register: Baptisms 1761 - 1798 Burial: 12 Apr 1773 St John the Baptist, Pilling, Lancashire, England Elizabeth Gregson - wife of Robert Gregson Register: Burials 1761 - 1797 | Topping, Elizabeth (I24157)
|
| 2370 | Elizabeth's cause of death is given as "childbirth". | Houlding, Elizabeth (I7895)
|
| 2371 | Elizabeth's date of birth is extrapolated from her death certificate, as below. There is only one birth in the IGI for an Elizabeth Graham in Allendale (or nearby) within five years of this date, and that is the birth shown here. Onomastics further support this choice. However this birth is not verified. At the time of her death, Elizabeth was living with her son, Joseph, at Whitelee Shield, Allendale, Northumberland. | Graham, Elizabeth (I7084)
|
| 2372 | Elizabeth's exact relationship to the family is uncertain. She is buried with the Mayes family and could be a sister rather than a wife. | Mayes, Elizabeth (I9608)
|
| 2373 | Elizabeth's marriage to James of Ardvorlich was not very popular with the Buchanans. They charged that she had married beneath her station. However the marriage was approved by her uncle, Lord Cardross, which settled other family members' concerns. | Buchanan, Elizabeth of that Ilk (I1798)
|
| 2374 | Elizabeth's mother died in 1900 when she was only 8 years old. Her father remarried only thirteen months later. In 1908 her father violently killed himself in the home after attempting to murder his second wife. Elizabeth would have been 17 when she was orphaned. | Young, Elizabeth Brown (I21155)
|
| 2375 | Elizabeth, like her husband, was also a school teacher. She was educated at the Normal School in London, Ontario. Family records indicate Elizabeth was born in Sadorus, Illinois. 1881 Census indicates she was born in Nova Scotia. Lizzie was proud to be born a Loyalist and was embarassed that she'd been born in the United States. She'd always wished she'd been born in Canada and thus she lied about her birthplace on later censuses. IN 1965, at the time of the death of her sister Ida, she is recorded as residing in Dundas, Wentworth, Ontario. | Bridgman, Elizabeth Mabel (I1344)
|
| 2376 | Elizabeth/Betty Angus/Angious was baptized on 3 Aug 1777 in St Mary's parish church in Lancaster, Lancashire, England as the daughter of Thomas Angus in Quarmore (Quernmore). On 16 Jun 1811, at the age of 34, Betty Angious had her illegitimate son, Thomas Angious, baptized in St. Mary's parish church, Lancaster, Lancashire, England. He died two years later. On 15 May 1814, at age 37, Betty Angus, a spinster, married in St Mary, Lancaster, Lancashire, England to Thomas Simpson, a sawyer and widower from Skerton. The marriage was witnessed by Betty Tonson and Thomas Bibby. They had no known children. | Angus, Elizabeth (I468)
|
| 2377 | Ella is found residing with her parents in 1881. | Stewart, Ella Teresa (I16126)
|
| 2378 | Ella was a war bride from England. | Stewart, Isabella (I16393)
|
| 2379 | Ellen Angus was born in 1839 in Otley (near Bradford), Yorkshire, England. In 1841, at age 2, Ellen Angus was residing in Otley, Yorkshire, England, with her parents and siblings. In 1851, at age 12, Mary Ann Angus was residing at 38 Craven Street in Bradford, Yorkshire, England, with her parents and siblings. She was employed as jobber in a worsted factory. It is worth emphasizing that at age 12, Ellen was not in school but was working in a factory. Ellen was only 13 years old in 1852 when her father died. In 1861, at age 21, Ellen was residing at 21 Wapping Road in Bradford, Yorkshire, England, with her younger brother and living next door to their widowed mother. Ellen was employed as a worsted spinner. Ellen was 23 years old in 1862 when her mother died. On 19 Mar 1864, at age 24, Ellen Angus married in Bradford, Yorkshire, England to William Whitaker. In 1871, at age 32. Ellen Whitaker was residing at 18 Magerison in West Bradford, Yorkshire, England, with her husband and their children. William was employed as a dragman. In 1881, at age 39, Ellen Whitaker was residing at 27 Farrar Square in East Bradford, Yorkshire, England, with her husband and their children. William was employed as a raily dragman (?). In 1891, at age 52, Ellen Whitaker was still residing at 27 Farrar Square in East Bradford, Yorkshire, England, with her husband, William, and their children. William was employed as a dragman. Ellen died in 1898. | Angus, Ellen (I23283)
|
| 2380 | Ellen's baptism was witnessed by James Thomson and John Thornton both in Doune. | Stewart, Ellen (I16128)
|
| 2381 | Ellen's birth has not been found. It is not certain that she is a child of Thomas Angus and Jane Bleazard, however, her marriage in 1805 was witnessed by Thomas Bleazard and Elizabeth Angus who also witnessed the marriage of Thomas Angus, III, shown here as her brother. On 28 Jan 1805, Ellen Angus married in Gartstang, Lancashire, England to Thomas Sturzacre of Kirkland (Churchtown) in Garstang parish, Lancashire, England. The marriage was also registered in St. Mary's Lancaster, Lancashire, England. They had three children. | Angus, Ellen (I23608)

|
| 2384 | Elsie never married. | Prangley, Elsie (I12625)
|
| 2385 | Elspet's marriage record shows her as daughter of Peter Cuthbert, merchant in Keith. http://libindx.moray.gov.uk/subjects/subject_people_report_view.asp?REF_ID=NM242395 | Cuthbert, Elspet (I3474)
|
| 2386 | Elvira Furler described herself as being of Pennsylvania Dutch ancestry. This has since been shown to be not entirely accurate. The term "Pennsylvania Dutch" is largely misunderstood by most North Americans. The Pennsylvania Dutch were not of "Dutch" origins -- that is, they were not from the Netherlands. They were of "Deutch" origins -- that is, German. The Furlers were of Germanic origin and came as Loyalists to Canada from Ulster County, New York, USA where they had lived since the 1600s. It is possible, indeed likely, that some of their cousins moved from New York to Pennsylvania, and there are persistant stories of the Furlers visiting relatives in Pennsylvania, though no record of any specific relatives have been found in Pennsylvania. In a letter dated June 15, 1898 Elvira writes to her future husband John Thornton (seven months before they were married). In the letter she mentions a party for her cousin Ervin Furler whose birthday is June 22. This reference provided the link necessary to establish the connection between Elvira's grandfather William Henry Furler and his brother Eli S. Furler. In the same letter, Elvira also mentions taking out the cows with her "ma", and that her "pa" has been working on building roads. So they were farmers. Elvira's obituary describes her as a woman who "devoted her life as a wife and mother, and a faithful member of the church. She sought to make her life a benediction to others. She showed great interest in all activities of the church, especially the children of the Sunday school, the CGIT and the WMS. Elvira appears to have belonged to the United Church. Early census records show the family was Methodist before 1925. In her personal correspondence she signs her name "Elvira", and that is the way her descendants knew her, but her census records and gravestone record her name as "Alvira". Lapham records her name as "Nancy Elvira" or "Vira" for short. Lapham says that Vira, Frances, and Ellis used to visit his farm at Fulton. | Furler, Nancy Elvira (I6472)
|
| 2387 | EMANUEL LEWIS UNDERWOOD, dairyman, Wilkes-Barre, was born at Forty Fort, this county, November 17, 1833, and is a son of William and Margaret (Swetland) Underwood. His paternal grandfather, Gideon Underwood (formerly of New England) was among the pioneers of Forty Fort, where he engaged in farming, dying there. The father of our subject was a native of Forty Fort, was a carpenter by trade, and resided at his native place until his death. His children were as follows: Sarah (Mrs. Thomas Hale), Melissa (Mrs. John Hufford), Emanuel L., and Frank. Our subject was reared in Scranton from seven years of age, was educated at Wyoming Seminary, Kingston, and after attaining his majority taught school fourteen consecutive years. He then embarked in the milk business at Wilkes-Barre, at which he still continues. He was twice married, his first wife being Harriet W., daughter of Alvah and Ann (Pierce) Phillips, of Wyoming, this county, and by her he had four children: Frank L., Fred, Orran and Eva (Mrs. Penn Spencer). Mr. Underwood's second wife was Mrs. Mary Becker Hay, widow of Peter H. Hay, of Wilkes-Barre. Mr. Underwood has been a resident of Wilkes-Barre since 1879. In politics, he is a Republican. http://www.usgwarchives.org/pa/Luzerne/1893hist/1893bios/93u.htm | Underwood, Emanuel Lewis (I20772)
|
| 2388 | Emeline Brown is recorded in family records as being a daughter of William's first marriage and having died young. She is likely the duaghter shown as under five years of age in the 1830 census as she's the only known daughter to be born before 1830. Her birth year shown here is merely a guess based on the belief that she was born within 5 years before the 1830 census. | Brown, Emeline (I1686)

|
| 2391 | Emigrated from Wiltshire, England 1830 with 8 children, settling Lot 22, Con VI, Euphemia Township. 4 more children were born in Euphemia. Esau and Elizabeth were preceded to Canada by their son Charles. Esau Prangley and a band of men and women left Corsley in Wiltshire England in 1830 to sail to Quebec. They sailed from Newport South Wales on 6th June 1830 and arrived in Quebec on July 7th 1830. Ship 'Euphrosyne' along with 65 other passengers. Bishop's trancripts record Esau's occupation as a labouer. | Prangley, Esau (I12646)
|
| 2392 | Emily is found with her parents until 1851. She married her first cousin-once-removed, Maj. John Stewart, son of John Stewart in Little Ealing shown above. | Stewart, Emily Mary (I16105)
|
| 2393 | Emily never married. (Nelker) | Steuart, Emily Baxter (I22298)
|
| 2394 | Emma's birth name is unknown. She was previously married and had one child from her previous relationship. It is believed that Stephenson is her married name from her first marriage. | Stephenson, Emma (I14737)
|
| 2395 | Emma's daughter Mary's marriage record records Emma's surname as Kirkby. However this is the same surname as Mary's husband and may be a confused clerk. All other records show her surname as Harold, the same as her husband. Her son Samuel's death record gives his mother's name as "Emma Moor", however this is given by a later informant and may be incorrect. No viable IGI birth record has been found. | Brown, Emma (I1688)
|
| 2396 | Emmaline is found only in family records and has not been found in any census or birth records. | Stewart, Emmaline (I16107)

|
| 2398 | Eoghan = Ewan (Scots), Owen (Welsh) Eoghan's territory was called the Tír Eoghain (Territory of Eoghan). This name later contracted to "Tyrone" and is synonymous with the Irish county of that name today. From this Ewan descended the families of O'Cahan, O'Cane, O'Daly of Leath Cuinn (= Leath, Ulster, Connaught), O'Crean, Grogan, O'Carolan and others. Eoghan, Prince of Ulster, King of AIleach, was baptized by St. Patrick at the Royal Palace of Aileach. His foot was pierced by the Bacchal Iosa during the ceremony. | Neill, Eoghan mac (I11690)
