| 2960 | Helen is mentioned in the Glassingall Court of Session Papers (1849-1856) as "Helen Jaffrey, born 3 Feb 1740, married Thomas Smith of Edinburgh, and had issue as follows...." Upon the death of Helen's younger brother, Alexander Jaffrey, 3rd of Glassingall, without children, the estate of Glassingall passed to Helen's sons Thomas and Alexnader Smith. | Jaffrey, Helen Heiress of Glassingall (I21717)
|
| 2961 | Helen is recorded as "adopted". She may have been illegitimate from a relationship prior to William Reid. However many of Helen's relatives from the Reid, Gillespie and Stewart families died during the 1840s (probably from smallpox). It's quite possible that this Helen could have been the orphaned child of one of those relationships. Helen and William Romans had no children. | Reid, Helen (I13296)
|
| 2962 | Helen married to George Robertson. They had four children. HELEN ROBERTSON-GRAYSTON OBITUARY We are heartbroken to announce the sudden but peaceful passing of our Mom in her 95th year after a brief illness on November 28th, 2021, surrounded by her loving family. Helen was blessed with a blended family and will be deeply missed by her children, David, Murray, the late Jayne (Peter), Gordon (Barbara), Pat, and Robert (Cindy). Helen was proud of her grandchildren, Michelle (Dave), Lynsay, Leigh, Tim (Sandra), Tammy (Mike), Jamie, Andrew, Sarah, Vanessa, Jeff and Justin. Helen also was blessed with great-grandchildren; the late David, Andrew, Myah, Ella, Jordan, Avery, Owen and Skai. Helen was born in Hamilton to Sam and Jane Duncan, who emigrated from Scotland in the early 1920s. In her younger years, Helen worked at Mercury Mills and Parisian Laundry, often washing our Tiger-Cat uniforms! Helen then moved into the next stage of her life; marriage and raising a family. As the years passed, Helen was happy and content, living in her own apartment and enjoying activities that included weekly bus trips to Fortinos (pre-COVID) and 50/50 draws within the community of Paramount Place where she lived for the past 30 years. Helen looked forward to her yearly trips to Florida - visiting Disney World as well as Anna Maria Island with her travelling buddies. In the summertime, she enjoyed being up at Wasaga Beach with family and friends. In anticipation of future travel once COVID was over, she recently renewed her passport as her zest for travel never waned. Locally, Helen enjoyed heading out weekly; whether it was weekend trips around Walmart, heading over to see her grand puppy Charlie or visits to Parkdale Fish and Chips. She was willing for an outing wherever it might take her (or where Pat would take her!) Helen loved TV, and was a lifelong fan and loyal watcher of The Young and the Restless; meeting "Victor Newman" just recently. | Duncan, Elizabeth Helen (I5387)
|
| 2963 | Helen Maxton Stewart is named after Helen Maxton, wife of William Stewart, 8th of Ardvorlich, who built the current Ardvorlich House. Helen is found residing with her parents in 1841. She has not been found in 1851 and is presumed to have married. | Stewart, Helen Maxton (I16325)
|
| 2964 | Helen Maxton Stewart was born in 1845 in Lochearnhead, Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland. She was named after Helen Maxton, wife of William Stewart, 8th of Ardvorlich. In 1851, at age 5, Helen Stewart was residing in Lochearnhead, Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland. In 1854, when Helen was 9 years old, her mother died. In 1855, a year later, when Helen was 10 years old, her father died. Helen Stewart is listed as 10 years old in 1855 on her father's death registration. After being orphaned at the age of 10, Helen went to live with her eldest sister, Mary Ann Stewart and her husband, William Rattray. In 1861, at age 15, Helen Stewart was residing at 25 King Street in the town of Stirling, Stirlingshire, Scotland, in the home of her sister, Mary Ann Rattray. Helen was employed as a domestic servant. Helen has not been found in later census records. She may have married, emigrated or died. | Stewart, Helen Maxton (I16324)
|
| 2965 | Helen presumably died young before the birth of her same-named older sister. | Stewart, Helen (I16209)
|
| 2966 | Helen's birth is according to family records. She is not found in the Callander OPR. | Stewart, Helen (I16342)
|
| 2967 | Helen's birth record shows no parents, but she is from Muthill and this is the only known family from Muthill, this she is shown here, however her birth family is unconfirmed. | Galloch, Helen (I6651)
|
| 2968 | Helen's exact place of birth is not recorded in the Kincardine OPR however her parents were recorded in the OPR at the time of their marriage as residing on the Moss and at the baptism of their son John in 1806 they are recorded as residing on the Moss. As such it is presumed that they were residing on the Moss for the intervening years also. | Stewart, Helen (I16333)
|
| 2969 | Helen's mother grew up in Portadown and remembers her great-uncle Charles Brown. She was born in 1922 and moved to Belfast before 1950 when she began dating James McCleary, who was married at the time. Helen was born in Belfast and given up for adoption afterwhich her mother moved to England. | Sterritt, Unknown (I21042)
|
| 2970 | Helen's surname is not certain. Descendant Chris Barrett shows her only as "Helen" with no surname given. Stewart is suggested as her possible surname based solely on the middle name of her second son, Robert Stewart Gillespie. A strong contender for her birth has been found as: Helen Madeline Stewart who, along with her twin, Alice Margaret Stewart, was baptized 08 JUL 1881 in All Saints Church, Lambeth, Surrey, England, daughter of Robert and Margaret Stewart. | Stewart, Helen (I16244)
|
| 2971 | Hendrick had five sons who served with the British Army during the American Revolution. Although there have been no records found of "heroism" - one of them was taken prisoner. The family lost all of its property and farms in New York because they sided with the losing forces, so the British paid to resettle them in Canada. On April 26, 1783, a fleet of twenty ships carried 7,000 Loyalists from New York City to Nova Scotia. We don't really know exactly how many members of Hendrick's family made that trip, but we do know that by 1783 he must have had a large number of descendants: figure Hendrick had five sons and just one of them, Jan (John), the eldest, himself had nine sons! Henrick also had two brothers (Jan, born 1734 and Robben, born 1737). "Hendrick BELYEA, was christened 19 Apr 1720 in (Tarrytown) Phillipsburgh, Westchester Co., NY, in the Old Dutch Church of Sleep Hallow. (This was the church of the story "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow", a classic written by Washington Irving.) He was a son of Jan BOULIER and Helena WILLIAMS. Henry married there, first on 24 Nov 1739, to Deborah CARPENTER, of North Castle, Westchester Co., NY; the daughter of Nathaniel CARPENTER and Abigail FOWLER. She died before Mar 1755 in Tarrytown, Westchester Co., NY. "His second marriage was in Mar 1755 to Angelica (STORM) Belyea, christened 20 Jun 1730 in Tarrytown, Westchester Co., NY, daughter of Jan STORM and Rachael DeREVIER. She was the widow of Abraham Jurckse/Yerxa, and her son, John, by that marriage also came to NB as a Loyalist. Angelica was said to have died abt 1804 in Greenwich Par., Kings Co., NB, buried in Greenwich Par., Kings Co., NB. "Hendrick/Henry died 1802 in Greenwich Par., Kings Co., NB, buried in Greenwich Par., Kings Co., NB." -- From GENERATIONS, the newsletter for the New Brunswick Genealogical Society, by Cleadie Barnett, 27 Dec 1998. The family's name lives on in the geography of New Brunswick in the form of "Belyea's Cove on Washademoak Lake in the Saint John River Valley, and also in the name of "Belyea's Point". | Bulyea, Hendrick (I2033)
|
| 2972 | Hengist shares the same name and dates as Hengist, Prince of the Jutes. It's possible they are the same person. | Kent, Hengest of (I8510)
|
| 2973 | Henrietta never married. Gravestone: Henrietta/ dau of Alex and Jane/ Cuthbert/ 1858-1925. | Cuthbert, Henrietta (I3347)
|
| 2974 | Henrietta was 17 years old when she married. Nelker gives no information on where Henrietta and her family lived other than to say that Henrietta died in either Switzerland or Paris, France. | Steuart, Henrietta (I22316)
|
| 2975 | Henry ("Harry") Stewart was mortally wounded at the battle of Tippermuir, fighting alongside his father for the Royalist cause. In the aftermath of the battle, Henry's father, James Beag Stewart, killed Lord Kilpont and was forced to flee the camp leaving Harry behind to die of his wounds. This account comes from the later Robert Stewart of Ardvorlich from a letter sent to Sir Walter Scott and printed in the preface to A Legend of Montrose. | Stewart, Henry (I16311)
|
| 2976 | Henry and his brother James died from Scarlet Fever as young children. (Nelker) | Steuart, Henry (I14705)
|
| 2977 | Henry and Jessie were residing in Detroit, Michigan, USA at the time of their marriage. (Ontario Marriage Register). In 1910 Henry and his family were residing in Ward 17, Detroit, Wayne County, Michigan, USA. Henry was employed as a clerk in a varnish factory. | McCulloch, Henry B. (I9839)
|
| 2978 | Henry Blackman Plumb's 1885 History of Hanover Township, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, USA, provides a five-generation family tree for this family through Alexander's son, William Brown. The full tree can be found here: http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~culbert/Hanover/brown.htm. Plumb shows William's generation as: "William BROWN 2 (Alexander 1) was born in Lancaster County; lived in Kingston, PA; married Sarah LEWIS; died young, in Kingston. They had: William BROWN, b. 1797, d. 1880, m. (1) Amanda DILLEY, (2) Julia MOSIER" In 1973 Ruth Brown of Scranton, since deceased, informed Linda Brown (Homer's granddaughter and daughter of Clarence L. and Dorothy Brown) that she believed Alexander came from what is now Berks County, or that portion of Lancaster Co. now in Berks. Ruth Brown indicated that William Brown was the son of Alexander Brown who came from Northern Ireland and settled in Reading, Pennsylvania, USA. William Brown is noted as being born in 1770 and having married about 1794 to Sarah Lewis (born 1778). Their children were William Brown Jr., born June 1, 1797 and Elizabeth, who died in infancy. William Brown Sr. died May 1797, a month prior to the birth of his only surviving child. His cause of death is unknown. His widow, Sarah Lewis-Brown, then married in 1805 to Archibald Smiley. Their children: Samuel, John (died 8 yrs old), Archibald, and Lewis. A Letter of Administration for the estate of the late Alexander Brown, dated 26 AUG 1796, who died intestate, lists Elizabeth and John Brown as Administrators and William Brown as Surety. In 1810, William Brown was residing in Hanover, Luzerne, Pennsylvania, USA, with his stepfather's family, Archibald Smiley. William is shown as a male between under 10 years of age. In 1820, William Brown was residing in Hanover, Luzerne, Pennsylvania, USA, with his stepfather's family, Archibald Smiley. William is shown as the lone male between 16-25 years of age. In 1830, William Brown was residing in Hanover, Luzerne, Pennsylvania, USA, in his own household. | Brown, William (I1996)

| 2980 | Henry Haywood Sharp was born in Derby, England and came to North America sometime before 1849 when he is recorded marrying Barbara Farslow. Henry's marriage is recorded in the Dibean Marriage Collection for St. Clair, Michigan, USA, as is the marriage for his brother-in-law, Joseph Farslow. It's not known if they were residing in Michigan at the time or if this is the record of an itinerant Methodist preacher travelling in Kent County, Ontario, Canada (which is not far from St. Clair, Michigan, USA), of if they eloped. Since the Farslow family was residing in Bothwell County, Ontario, Canada at that time (and prior) and as Henry began having children in Kent/Bothwell County only two years after his marriage, then all of these explanations are equally plausible. LDS has an exact match for Henry and Barbara's marriage and records a relative of Henry's as Elizabeth A. K. Farrar, possibly from the Dibean Collection or from will documents. LDS also has an exact match for the birth of Henry Haywood Sharp as the child of Sarah Sharp and unknown father. Henry's siblings are extracted from the same parish record. All are recorded as the children of Sarah Sharp with no father named. [See notes on John Sharp and Sarah Draper for more information.] A published genealogy for Henry Haywood Sharp has been found by Peter Groen, 2000 Hillwood Drive, Lake Orion, Michigan, USA 48360. Groen names James Page Sharpe and Elizabeth Spencer of Lancashire England as Henry's parents. This family appears to have been residing in St. Clair, Michigan, USA at the time. At this point it appears the Peter Groen's research is incorrect and that John Sharp and Sarah Draper are his probable parents. However it cannot be stated with absolute certainty at this point. There are three persons named Henry Sharp(e) found in the 1841 census for St. Alkmund, Derby, England, all about the right age to be Henry Haywood Sharp. Any one or none of them could be Henry Haywood Sharp. It's not possible at this point to confidently identify Henry. (See web site for further details.) Henry is not found in the 1850 census in Michigan, USA. The 1851 census for Bothwell/Kent County, Ontario, Canada no longer exists and the 1861 Census shows Henry living in Camden Gore, Kent County, Ontario, Canada and working as a farmer. | Sharp, Henry Haywood (I14138)
|
| 2981 | Henry I was known as "Beauclerk" or "Lion of Justice". | Beauclerc, Henry (I646)
|
| 2982 | Henry is not confirmed as a son of Samuel Harrold. (See Samuel's notes for more information). Henry is found in the Hardingstone parish records as having a wife Josefina and a daughter Elizabeth as shown here. They have not been found in any census records. Henry's birth date as shown here is purely a guess. | Harrold, Henry (I7736)
|
| 2983 | Henry married secondly abt 1900 to "Mary" by whom he had a daughter. The reason for the break up of his first marriage is unknown. | Hartsell, Henry Josiah (I7730)
|
| 2984 | Henry served in the Confederate army during the American Civil War. He "settled in the west after the war." He never married. (Nelker) | Latrobe, Henry B (I22483)
|
| 2985 | Henry was created Lord of Methven in 1528. | Stuart, Henry Lord Methven (I18695)
|
| 2986 | Henry was married the day before his sister Mary. In 1911, Henry was residing in West Toronto, Ontario, Canada, with his wife and three children. He was employed as a steel worker in a foundry. They lived on Margueretta Street near Bloor Street West and Lansdowne Ave in West Toronto. In 1918, Henry, age 40, died of pneumonia. | Stewart, Henry Allan (I16315)
|
| 2987 | Henry was one of four children. Full family information is available from Chuck Speed of Texas. Henry was called "Lewis" or "Lute". He was four years old when his father, Charles S. Speed, died leaving his mother with five children to raise. Although this early history does not reveal much of the detail of how they managed to survive, letters from cousins described how several related families by marriage would share a closeness and live within a close proximity of each other. Just as the Stewarts, Speeds, Brantlys, and Browns intermarried and supported each other in their move from North Carolina to Montgomery County, Tennessee, so too did the Speeds, Cowells, Waggeners, Coles, and Baldridges in their move from Montgomery County to Weakley County. Following Martha Cowell Speed?s death in 1872, it appears that the four brothers and one sister stayed near Martin, Tennessee in Weakley County until the late 1870's. On 24 August 1877, Henry Lewis Speed married Ada J. Waggener. Family records indicate that Ada died shortly after that during childbirth. Neither mother or child survived. The three brothers and one sister all then moved to Denton County, Texas and are shown in the 1880 census for Denton County. A notation in the census indicates that George Speed, Mary Speed?s twin, had died a year earlier. Living in one household at that time was Henry Lewis Speed (my great grandfather), his sister, Mary Speed, and youngest brother, Charles Speed, along with deceased George Speed?s widow, Anne Lewis Speed, and their daughter, Florence Speed, and Anne?s mother, Martha Lewis. In this census, Henry?s occupation is shown as farmer. Anne?s occupation is shown as housekeeper and Mary Speed is shown as assistant. Robert Stuart Speed and his wife, Cally Burgess Speed, were living in Denton County as a separate household. During the 1880's, life for this Speed family was changing rapidly. Henry Lewis Speed married Lucy Florence Abbott on 13January 1884 in Denton County. Henry or "Lute" as his brothers and sister called him had already suffered a severe loss from his first marriage back in Weakley County to his cousin, Ada J. Waggener, when she died sometime in 1878 of child birth with the child not surviving either. Henry and Lucy Florence Abbott were married by Sylvestor Mosaly, a preacher and new husband to Henry?s sister, Mary, having married just a year before on 11 March 1883. During 1884, Robert Stuart Speed moved his family to Fort Worth, Texas where they lived until around 1890. Robert and his family then moved to Washita County, Oklahoma where they homesteaded at the time of the Oklahoma land rush. Charles Speed never married and died in Denton or Dallas County on 16-July-1889. Little is known about how he died or where he is buried. Nothing is known of whatever became of George Speed?s widow, Anne Lewis Speed, and their daughter, Florence Speed. During the 1880's, Henry Lewis Speed and Lucy Florence Abbott started their family with their first son, Charles Griffin Speed born in Elzabethtown, Denton County, Texas born on 16-February-1885. Over the next ten to twelve years, the family grew in number and moved from Denton County to Baylor County and to Archer County each time pursuing better farm land at cheaper prices. The other children born during this time were Clara Lavina Speed born 16 October 1887 and died as an infant on 9 August 1888, Edward Lewis Speed (my grandfather) born 26 July 1889, Mable Florence Speed born 8 February 1892, and Mary Bulah Speed born 4 December 1894. Each child was born in a different location as the family migrated west. Clara was born in Denton County, Edward was born in Argyle, Denton County, Mable was born in Baylor County, and Bulah was born in Archer City, Archer County. Baylor and Archer Counties are located south of Wichita Falls, Texas. In 1897, Henry Lewis Speed is shown in land records to have homesteaded on land near Cordell, Oklahoma in Washita County. His last and youngest child, Esther Catherine Speed, was born 24 October 1899 in Cordell. Henry Lewis Speed lived there for approximately ten years when he sold his farm and homestead for $1,600 on 18 March 1908 and moved his family to Clarendon, Texas. On 21 March 1917, Henry Lewis Speed died at his home. He had been suffering from a bad flu weeks earlier but had decided to get up out of bed to prepare his garden for spring seeding. Soon he was back in bed experiencing a relapse of the illness. When it became apparent that he was taking a turn for the worse, Henry called his family to his bedside. My grandfather, Ed Speed, always told us the story of how his father made him promise that he would marry and have sons. He was deeply concerned that his Speed line would end without male descendants to carry on the name. At the time, Ed?s brother, Charlie was married to Mary Eugenia Moore and had two daughters, Edith Clara Speed born 26 July 1910 and Catherine (Kitty) Leota Speed born 20 October 1912. Years later, my grandfather Ed would get tears in his eyes when he would tell this story and he would be emotional about how his only son, Homer Charles Speed, had three sons to carry on his Speed line. | Speed, Henry Andrew Lewis (I14475)
|
| 2988 | Henry worked as an agricultural labourer. He married Elizabeth and had children. | Taylor, Henry (I19161)
|
| 2989 | Henry's baptism is recorded as "Henry McQuan". | McEwen, Henry (I9955)
|
| 2990 | Henry's brother Benjamin married Henry's wife's sister. | Willard, Henry (I20249)
|
| 2991 | Henry's name may be Harry or Harvey -- the handwriting in the family Bible is difficult to read. As he does not show up in later census records, it is presumed that he died young. His exact date of death is unknown. | Furler, Henry Elmer (I6426)
|
| 2992 | Her baptism was witnessed by her aunt Anna Catharina Braun from Udenheim. | Feller, Anna Catharina (I5825)
|
| 2993 | Her birth is estimated. She was 64 years old at her time of death. (Nelker) She emigrated alone at age 19 from Sweden on 30 May 1892, departing from Stockholm, intended for Amerika. Her occupation is given as "piga" which Google translates as "servant/wench." She arrived on 12 Aug 1892 in Hull, England, bound for Birmingham, England. On 24 Aug 1892, she arrived in New York City, New York, USA, having travelled from Liverpool, England. She married on 3 July 1902 in Delaware City, Delaware, USA, to Charles David Steuart. It is not known how they met. | Lodén, Anna Olivia (I22627)
|
| 2994 | Her birth name may have been "McGill", having been Anglicized to "Megill". | Megill, Mary (I11112)
|
| 2995 | Her birth record is not certain, but it is the only IGI match in the parish. Her father's name is known from her marriage record. | Charlton, Elizabeth (I2513)
|
| 2996 | Her descendant, Terry Osborne, (deceased) late of Dundas, Ontario, Canada, provided the testament for Duncan McLaren. | McLaren, Catherine (I25631)
|
| 2997 | Her existence is extrapolated from the 1828 Niagara census (see notes on mother). Her name is not preserved in family tradition, thus she may have died young, or may have married an unknown man. | Furlow, Daughter (I6486)
|
| 2998 | Her father, Benjamin Atkinson, owned Prospect House on Chapel Lane in Keighley, Yorkshire, England. He was a tailor and draper and employer of four. The house is currently listed for £530,000 (2023). | Atkinson, Mary Ann (I19)
|
| 2999 | Her first husband died in prison in 1866. His reason for imprisonment is unknown. | Hunt, Mary (I23275)
|
| 3000 | Her forename is not recorded in the parish record and she is not with the family in 1861 so it is presumed that she died at birth. | Stewart, Daughter (I15574)
