|
| 4114 | John Angus' story is a tragic one. He and his wife and children lived in such a state of poverty that they were forcibly removed from the town of Lancaster as a social burden and returned to their home parish of Over Wyresdale to be placed in the care of the church wardens there. Three of their children died young. Of their surviving children, only two married, neither of whom had children of their own. Thus the line of John Angus ended with his children's generation. John Angus/Angions/Angious was baptized on 4 Apr 1779 in St Mary's parish church in Lancaster, Lancashire, England, as the son of Thomas and Jane Angions in Quarmore. John Angious was only 15 years old at the time of his father's death in 1795. The date of his mother's death is unknown. It seems likely that he would have come under the care of one of his older siblings at this point. On 31 Dec 1807, at age 28, John Angious, a husbandman* residing in Skerton, Lancashire, England, married in St. Mary's parish church, Lancaster, Lancashire, England to 23-year-old Mary Shaw from Anwoth, Kirkubrightshire, Scotland. His brother, William Angious, also a husbandman in Skerton, is named in the guarantee for the banns. John's siblings, William Angious and Betty Angious witnessed the marriage. * (A husbandman was a person who cared for livestock, however, in Northern England the term also referred to a tenant farmer.) In 1809, their son Thomas was born, although no record of his birth has been found. The only record of his existence is his death record in 1825 at the age of 14. He does not appear in any census so the location of his birth is unknown. His sister Elizabeth was born a year later in Anwoth, Kirkubrightshire, Scotland. It is presumed that Thomas was also born in Anwoth, although no record of his birth exists there either. The remainder of John's children were born in Lancaster. On 29 Jan 1818, John and his family were removed by writ from Lancaster to Over Wyresdale and placed in the care of the Overseers of the Poor. (see full text below) However, at some point they managed to return to Lancaster, as three of John's children, Thomas, Jane and Eleanor, all died in Lancaster in 1825 and he was residing in Lancaster in 1841. In 1841, at the age of 62, a widowed John Angus was residing at 72 Castle Hill in Castle Ward, Lancaster, Lancashire, England, with his daughters Betsy and Mary. He was employed as a husbandman. Residing with them was 15-year-old Jane Gardner, like the daughter of his neighbour James Gardner. In 1851, at the age of 72. a widowed John Angus was residing at 71 Castle Hill in Castle Ward, Lancaster, Lancashire, England, as a widower with his daughters Elizabeth and Mary Ann. He was employed as a general labourer. John Angus was residing on King Street in Lancaster, Lancashire, England at the time of his death in 1857. John had seven children, none of whom married and had children of their own. Most of his children died young or disappear from record, not long after they were removed by writ from Lancaster to Over Wyresdale as paupers. John's family became extinct with the generation of his children. ----------- From the Borough and Township of Lancaster, in the County of Lancaster, To Wit.

(A separate similar order was issued on the same day for Ann Blezard, widow.) | Angus, John Sr. (I397)
|
| 4115 | John Angus, or "Jack" as he was known, worked in the lumber industry like his father before him. Jack was born in England and came to Canada in the early 1900s probably for better employment prospects. Jack worked as a yard foreman at the Lawson Lumber Yard on Gage Avenue in what is now downtown Hamilton. Jack and his father, Tom, built a house for Tom and Judith at 39 Gage Avenue South right next door to Lawson Lumber. After Judith's death, Jack and Jessie moved into the house with Tom in order to take care of him. When Tom died, Jack and Jessie inherited the house, which caused a permanent rift between Jack and his siblings. In 1901, at age 2, John Angus was residing in Skerton, Lancaster, Lancashire, England, with his parents and two siblings. In 1911, at age 12, John Angus was residing at 77 Broadway, Skerton, Lancaster, Lancashire, England, with his parents and two siblings. He was was a student at Park School while also working as a butcher's errand boy. Sometime between 1911-1915, John Angus and his parents and siblings immigrated to Canada. In 1915, the Angus family were residing at 132 Birch Ave. in Hamilton, Wentworth, Ontario, Canada, when John's brother Thomas enlisted in the Canadian Expeditionary Force. In 1921, at age 22, John was residing at 35 (or 25) Gage Avenue in Hamilton, Wentworth, Ontario, Canada with his parents and siblings. He was employed as a labourer. This may be the house that he and his father built together although the address doesn't match his daughter, Jackie's recollection. John Angus claimed that the Angus family were originally from Scotland and that "the Scots ran us out of Scotland". Jack and Jessie's marriage was witnessed by Jessie's sister, Elizabeth Duncan, and Jack's brother, Thomas Angus. | Angus, John (I370)
|
| 4116 | John Angus/Anghurst was born in 1729 in Over Wyresdale, Lancashire, England. John Angus' wife's name is not known. He had two children, neither of whom survived infancy. A John Angus (possibly this John Angus) married on 29 April 1753 in St. Peter, Burnley, Lancashire, England, to Mary Embley. Both were of the parish of Burnley. Burnley is located midway between Preston, Lancashire, and Bradford, Yorkshire, where other descendants of this family ended up. John Angus from Wyresdale is the only John Angus known to be living in the area, but Burnley is far enough away (about 30 km) that it could be a different John. A contemporary Jonathan Angus appears in east Yorkshire having children around this time, including a son, Robert. (See Angus of Raw House.) | Angus, John in Over Wyresdale (I20636)
|
| 4117 | John Angus/Angious was born in 1831 in Lancaster, Lancashire, England. John Angus' grandson, Jack Angus, used to say that the Angus family originally came from Scotland and that "the Scots ran us out of Scotland". Like his father, son, and grandson, John worked his whole life as a sawyer (carpenter). John is shown at his birth as John Angious, son of James and Jane Angious. His marriage record indicates that his father's name was James and that his father was also a sawyer at the time of John's marriage. The origin of John's middle name "Cline" is not known. Such names are often derived from a grandparent. The surnames of three of John's grandparents are known, but his paternal grandmother, Ann's birth surname is not known. It is possible that her surname may have been Cline. In 1841, at age 9, John Angus was residing at 4 Palasades, St. Mary's District, Lancaster, Lancashire, England, with his parents and siblings. In 1851, at age 19, John Angus was residing in St. Mary's Parish, Lancaster, Lancashire, England, with his parents and siblings. He was employed as a sawyer (carpenter). St. Mary's is located on the south side of the River Lune, not far from Lancaster Castle. John's place of birth is given as Skerton, Lancashire, England. On 23 June 1855 in the Lancaster parish church, Lancaster, Lancashire, England, 25 year old John Angus, residing at Bridge Lane, son of James Angus, a sawyer (carpenter), married Sarah Robert, age 22, daughter of Thomas Roberts, a labourer. She was residing at Leonard Gate. She signed the marriage record with an 'X'. In 1861, at age 29, John Angus was residing 48 Damside Street in Castle Ward, St. Mary's Parish, Lancaster, Lancashire, England, with his wife and three children including Robert C Roberts. John was employed as a sawyer (carpenter). In 1871, at age 39, John Angus was residing in 4 Lune Street in Castle Ward, St. Mary's Parish, Lancaster, Lancashire, England, with his wife and eight children. He was employed as a sawyer (carpenter). Ann Atkinson and her daughter Elizabeth were boarding with them. At his son John's baptism in 1871, the family's address was given as St. George's Quay in Lancaster, Lancashire, England In 1881, at age 49, John Angus was residing at 4 Lune Street in Castle Ward, St. Mary's Parish, Lancaster, Lancashire, England, with his wife and 11 children (including Robert Roberts). John is recorded as an unemployed sawyer (carpenter). John is shown as unemployed that year. Sarah's 38 year old brother, Charles Roberts, a general labourer, was residing with them. Sometime between 1881-1891, John and his family moved from the south side of the River Lune to the north side in Skerton. In 1891, at age 59, John Angus was residing in Skerton Ward, St. Luke's Parish, Lancaster, Lancashire, England with his wife and their seven youngest children. John was employed as a sawyer (carpenter). In 1901, at age 69, John Angus was residing at 6 Brough Court, St. Leonard's Gate, in St. Ann's Parish, Lancaster, Lancashire, England with his wife and three of their children. John was employed as a wood sawyer (carpenter). Robert Roberts is shown as a step-son. | Angus, John Cline (I391)
|
| 4118 | John appears to have been named after John Lorne Stewart of Glenbuckie, who owned Stronvar and also resided in Campbelltown in Argyll. Presumably John Lorne Stewart was either a close friend or employer of the family. It should be noted that when one discounts the birth of John Lorne Stewart MCINTYRE then the remainder of the children all follow customary onomastic patterns. John immigrated to Renfrew County, Ontario Canada in 1831 with his parents. | McIntyre, John Lorne Stewart (I10154)

| 4119 | John Arthur Harold served in WWI. He had descendants. | Harold, John Arthur (I7596)
|
| 4120 | John Black (August 11, 1800 - August 29, 1854) was a politician from the U.S. state of Mississippi, most notably serving in the United States Senate as a Whig from 1832 to 1838. He was a slave owner. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Black_(U.S._senator)) U.S. Senator. He was a lawyer in practice in Louisiana, when he moved to Winchester, Mississippi and opened a legal firm. He was elected judge of the fourth circuit and Supreme Court, serving (1826-32). In 1832, he was appointed as a Jacksonian to the United States Senate to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Powhatan Ellis, reelected as a Whig in 1833 and served until he resigned in 1838. After leaving the Senate, he practiced law, later moved to Virginia and operated sugar plantations until his death at age 54. (FindAGrave) | Black, Sen. John (I23760)
|
| 4121 | John Black Stewart, attended the University of Virginia, graduating in 1878. He then moved to New York and married Elizabeth Luzby. They made several extensive trips to Europe. John Black Stewart returned to New York City and worked as a stock broker for Charles D. Barney & Co. (later Morgan Stanley Smith Barney). (FindAGrave) John Black Stewart was a member of the Gaelic Society of Inverness (An Comunn Gàidhlig Inbhir Nis), http://gsi.org.uk/ . He was a financial contributor to the Culloden memorials. He died in New York, but had his remains transported to Scotland and is buried in Inverness, Scotland. | Stewart, John Black (I23763)
|
| 4122 | John Black was born in 1822 in Cornhill-on-Tweed, Northumberland, England within walking distance of the Scottish border. His future brother-in-law, Leonard Tait, was born in the same place only a year earlier. The baptism register says: "John Black, son of John & Margaret Black of Shidlaw was born 22nd Mrch 1822 and baptized by David Aitkin, Min." (Shidlaw Farm is located in Cornhill-on-Tweed, Northumberland, England, directly across the Tweed from Coldstream, Berwickshire, Scotland. John married Margaret Ord, whose eldest sister, Jane Ord, married Leonard Tait. Given that John Black and Leonard Tait were born in the same village and married two sisters, it seems likely that they were childhood friends. John remarried after his wife, Margaret, died giving birth to their youngest daughter, Margaret. John's birthdate of March 25, 1822 is according to the inscription on his gravestone. Census records show him being from England. The following IGI entry seems very likely and matches with known data on his parents. See father's entry for more information. | Black, John (I1082)
|
| 4123 | John Bridgman came from Tavistock, Devonshire, England to America about 1767 and settled in Long Island, New York. He was a gardener. After the American Revolution broke out he fled with other Loyalists to Nova Scotia. It is believed that he died on route to Nova Scotia. | Bridgman, John (I1446)
|
| 4124 | John Brown is mentioned in Ruth Brown's family tree where he is shown as one of four sons of an unknown Brown who came from Berks County, Pennsylvania, USA to Kingston, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, USA in 1786. The four sons are named as: George, Alexander, James and William. No further information is given about the sons, except William. Their father's name is not given. According to Plumb's 1885 History of Hanover Township, John Brown was a son of Alexander Brown and Mary Tyler. He is said to have "went away", or moved away from Luzerne County. 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. He is presumed to be this John Brown. Elizabeth Brown has not been identified, but may be John's wife. William Brown is presumed to be John's brother. If this document correctly applies to this family then it may indicate that John Brown was still residing nearby at the time of his father's death. John's date of birth is merely estimated based on the above references in conjunction with the birth dates of those of his siblings which can be confirmed. John has not been identified in later records. Many online trees show differing birth and death information for him that cannot be verified. | Brown, John (I1846)
|
| 4125 | John Brown is not recorded in the 1830 census. He is beleived to have died young as he is also not mentioned in Plumb's History. | Brown, John (I1842)
|
| 4126 | John Brown was born in 1846 in Derryagh, Milltown parish, Armagh, Ireland on the shore of Lough Neagh, Ireland's largest inland lake. However, he was not baptised until 1852 at age 8. The reason for the delay is unknown, however the fact that he was baptized in the Anglican Church, rather than the Presbyterian Church, at a time when the government was not recognizing Presbyterian baptisms as legitimate may have been the reason. Sometime in the late 1850s or early 1860s, when John was still a child, his parents and family moved to the village of Tandragee, County Armagh, in Ulster, Ireland. John, like his father, became a baker by trade. He presumably worked in his father's bakery on Church Street in Tandragee. In 1867, at age 21, in Milton, Lurgan, Armagh, Ireland, just northeast of Tandragee, John Brown married Sarah Cooke. Various conflicting sources indicate she was somewhere between 13-18 years old (most likely 13-15) at the time of their marriage. Given the uncertain date of birth of their first daughter, Ruth, Sarah may have been pregnant at the time of their marriage. It is worth noting that John and Sarah, like the previous generation, maintained the traditional Scottish naming pattern for their children. It appears that this tradition was preserved in Northern Ireland. In 1888, at age 42, John Brown immigrated to Canada with his family. They settled in Hamilton, Ontario. He was preceded by nearly 20 years by William James Brown, who would later become his brother-in-law. William James Brown immigrated from Tandragee to Hamilton in 1866 at age 16. William later returned to Ireland in 1873 to marry John's little sister, Rachel Brown. It is not known why they moved from Ireland to Canada, although with the level of poverty in Ireland at the time and the increasing tension between Irish patriots and British loyalists, they most likely emigrated in hopes of a more prosperous and more peaceful life. John Brown's family sailed on the ship Sarmatian from Londonderry, Ireland and landed in Quebec on 7 MAY 1888. Listed on the manifest on ticket 14148 are: John Brown, 36, farm labourer Minnie Brown, 17, spinster William J Brown, 15, farm labourer Robert Brown, 11, child They are recorded as being bound for Quebec. And on ticket 23676 are: Sarah Brown, 39, matron James Brown, 7, child They are recorded as being bound for Hamilton. Conspicuously absent are Anne and Tom Brown. I would read into this that Anne and Tom remained back in Ireland and followed later. John is recorded as a baker in an early Hamilton Directory and in census records. As his father was also a baker, it is strange that we find John and his son listed as "farm labourers" above. This may suggest that they had connections to a family farm in Tandragee as well as the bakery. John and his sons were staunch Presbyterians and members of the (anti-Catholic) Irish Protestant Benevolent Society. John was a member of the Orange Order and attended Victoria Lodge in Hamilton. In 1891, at age 42 (sic), John Brown was residing in Ward 7, Hamilton, Wentworth, Ontario, Canada with his family. He was employed as a baker. They were living next door to Edward W Hyde and family. (Edward Hyde is found elsewhere in this database. Edward's daughter, Mabel, later married Archibald Stewart, first cousin of Jane Ord Stewart who married John Brown's son, Tom Brown.) In 1901, at age 46, John Brown was residing at 175 Wilson Street in Ward 3 in Hamilton, Wentworth, Ontario, Canada with his wife and children. John was employed as a baker. In 1911 at age 58, John Brown was residing at 323 (or 325) Main Street in Hamilton in Hamilton, Wentworth, Ontario, Canada. On 1 Jun 1914, at age 60, John Brown died in Hamilton, Wentworth, Ontario, Canada of pernicious aneamia. He is buried in Hamilton Cemetery on York Street in Hamilton. The informant at his death is "Mr Brown", presumably Tom. John's parents' names are left blank on his death registration. An old photo, dated 1916, shows Sarah living at 175 Wilson Street, Hamilton, Wentworth, Ontario, Canada after the death of John. It seems the Browns were neither a close nor a healthy family. Two of John's sons, Tom and William, were described as overly strict disciplinarians. John's son Tom is known to have been violent. John's son Jim, "Col. William", was outcast by his brother Tom. And son Robert left the country never to be heard from again. Only William, Tom, and Annie remained in contact with each other as the children grew up and had families. It's likely John was as violent as his son Tom as the story of "The Strap" may indicate: On the occasion of his marriage, John Brown's eldest (Canadian) grandson, Kenneth Brown, inherited a leather disciplinary "strap" from his father, Stewart Brown. This strap had been handed from father to son for an unknown number of generations at least as far back as John. "The Strap" was much more gruesome than simply a father's leather belt. It had a heavy wooden handle and was made of heavy 1/4-inch thick leather, much like a barber's sharpening strap. The leather was cut into three tongues. It was used by the fathers in the family to discipline their children. When John's great-grandson, Kenneth Brown, inherited it, he described it as "well worn from generations of use". John passed the strap to his son Tom, who is believed to have used it on his son Stewart to excess. Stewart thankfully never used it on his children, Ken or Beverly, but it always hung on their kitchen wall as an ever-present threat and reminder of paternal authority. Stewart gave it to Ken who disposed of it permanently. Subsequent research has identified the strap as a "Tawse" -- a device used in the British school system, especially in Scotland and Northern Ireland, until as late as the 1980s when it was finally outlawed. | Brown, John (I1831)

| 4129 | John Carmichael along with his family immigrated on the ship Curlew in the summer of 1818 and settled in London Township, Middlesex, Ontario, Canada. On 20 May 1819, John Carmichael and friends wrote a letter to his brother Archibald Carmichael and others back in Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland, about their settlement in the Talbot Settlement, London Township, Middlesex County, Ontario, Canada. He received a letter from his brother Archibald Carmichael, dated at Glentarken, 1 Jun 1831, in which his brother refers to their mutual siblings, Peter and Margaret. He sends the letter in the care of Malcolm McLaren who immigrated about that time and whose daughters married John's sons, Alexander and John. | Carmichael, John (I25846)

| 4130 | John Chew was a baker. He married first to Mary Hibbert. She died during the birth of their first child, John Chew. Five months later John (Sr) married secondly to Ann "Nanny" Walker. John died in 1809 in England. John's estate at his time of death was valued at less than 100 pounds. Sometime after John's death his widow and children immigrated to Canada. It is believed they came first to New York around 1815 (John's daughter Sarah was married in New York in 1815) and then later on to Toronto around 1818, settling initially on the Humber River in Weston, Ontario. They are confirmed in Weston by 1819. John's sons John and Samuel were pioneer settlers in Weston -- John was a miller and Samuel was a distiller. John's widow Nanny and daughter Sarah later moved to Kent County with Sarah's husband, William Taylor, where they founded the village of Dawn Mills. Weston was initially named Farr's Mills. It is now part of Metropolitan Toronto area, in the borough of Etobicoke, near the intersections of highways 400 & 401. The proposed birth family for John Chew is probable, but not confirmed. | Chew, John (I2594)

| 4132 | John Cuthbert is recorded as "John Cuthbert of Drakies" in the passenger list for the ship, Prince of Wales, which set sail from Inverness, Scotland in Oct 1735 and arrived in Georgia, USA on 10 JAN 1736. John is shown with fellow passengers, George Cuthbert of Inverness and another John Cuthbert. However, it would appear this 1736 passage was not his first trip across as John is also recorded as "Capt. John Cuthbert" serving under General James Oglethorpe who founded the state of Georgia, and as having received a grant of 500 acres of land at Joseph's Town on the south bank of the Savannah River (near the present-day city of Savannah, Georgia, USA), along with Capt. Patrick Mackay, Capt. George Dunbar and others on 3 SEP 1735. Capt. John Cuthbert planted a grove of Mulberry trees on his property in order to assist with the state of Georgia's fledgling silk industry. Silk worms thrive on Mulberry leaves. Capt. Cuthbert named his plantation Mulberry Grove. Running a plantation was costly and difficult to make profitable. At the time, Georgia did not permit slavery, whereas the neighbouring state of South Carolina did. Thus the plantation owners in Georgia felt they were at a distinct financial disadvantage to their neighbouring plantation owners across the Savannah River. In 1735 the Georgia plantation owners petitioned for permission to use slave labour, but their petition was rejected. There was a John Cuthbert in Darien, Georgia, USA who on 3 JAN 1738 signed a petition against slavery with members of the Darien Colony, New Inverness, Georgia, USA. It is believed that the John Cuthbert who signed this petition was not Capt, John Cuthbert of Mulberry Grove who had already participated in a petition in favour of introducing slavery. It is believed that the petioner in Darien was the other John Cuthbert from the ship, Prince of Wales. In 1739, John Cuthbert "of Drakies" (believed to be Capt. John Cuthbert of Mulberry Grove) and George Cuthbert of Inverness (believed to be his cousin) were witnesses to a treaty between the Creek Indians in Georgia and Gen. James Oglethorpe. (Bulloch) Capt. John Cuthbert seems to have been an exceptionally competent plantation manager as Mulberry Grove appears to have been the only plantation in the Savannah area that prosperred. However, that prosperity was cut short in 1739 by the untimely death of Capt. John Cuthbert due to illness. Capt. John Cuthbert never married and had no children. He passed the estate of Mulberry Grove to his sister, Ann Cuthbert. ======= Mulberry Grove From Savannah River Plantations, Edited by Mary Granger, Savannah Writers' Project, The Georgia Historical Society, Savannah, 1947. http://content.ancestry.com/Browse/BookView.aspx?dbid=22927&iid=dvm_LocHist008471-00077-1 Mulberry Grove from its beginnings as a plantation embraced 500 acres; and though today the tract encompasses hardly more than its original size, at the peak of its history it took in 2171 acres. To trace this expansion, a brief note is necessary regarding the activities of the "Scots gentlemen" who early in 1736 settled the district. According to tradition, these Scotsmen were Capt. John Cuthbert, Capt. Patrick Mackay, Capt. George Dunbar, and Thomas Bailey, who received each a grant of 500 acres, and Archibald McGillvray whose grant was for 50 acres. there is definite authority for asserting the the first three men were at Joseph's Town, but the only grounds for placing the other two in this district are that the names of all five were recorded together in a list of land petitions read at a meeting of the Trustees of Georgia, 3 SEP 1735. It will be noted that a sixth colonist, John Mackay, appears on the list. This was Patrick Mackay's brother whose grant has been definitely placed at Joseph's Town, but of whose activities there no more is known than of Bailey's and McGillivray's. It is appropriate to mention here that as far as available colonial records are concerned, none of these three ever settled in the Joseph's Town district. Moreover, in June 1738, William Stephens, agent of the Georgia Trustees, wrote in his journal: "we took boat, and went back to Joseph-Town, where in our way up the river before, we had viewed the plantations of Mess. Pat McKay, Dunbar, and Cuthbert." It is possible that though the grants of the colonists in question were at Joseph's Town, they never settled on or cultivated these lands; or else very shortly after coming to the district they departed for other sections of the colony. Certainly it is true that in the first two years of Joseph's Town's existence its conditions were such as to discourage any settler. In fact, John Cuthbert, owner of Mulberry Grove, was the only one of the Scotsmen to make an outstanding success of his land in spite of the odds against him. Not at all in conformity to the little square on the 1735 map was the actual laying out of Joseph's Town's area. The grants were spread along the river, each comprising 500 or more acres. It is definitely established that the easternmost was Captain Dunbar's grant, that the next was Captain Cuthbert's, present sit of Mulberry Grove, that the third was Capt. Patrick Mackay's, which later became a part of Mulberry Grove, and that the fourth was the tract of John Mackay, deserted probably from its granting. Adjoining John Mackay's was the grant that might possibly have been Thomas Bailey's. Black Creek, curving from the west, cut a wide rich belt of swampland through the inland section of the territory and flowed across the eastern end of Cuthbert's land into the Savannah River. Regardless of the name given to the district, it is doubtful if the Scotsmen had in mind the development of a municipality, as they were settled far from each other. They evidently desired to become an independent district, however, for in 1735 they petitioned for self-government and were refused. At this time slavery was prohibited in the Colony of Georgia, and even for field work indentured white labour was used. In the almost tropical climate of Joseph's Town white workers sickened of "fevers and fluxes". Thus the settlers discovered that their lands, owing to the labour conditions, were investments operating at a heavy loss. They petitioned the Trustees "for the liberty of making use of negro slaves" but the petition was rejected and the outlook was indeed a discouraging one. The Mulberry Grove tract was the only one in the Joseph's Town that was kept tenaciously to the original purpose of development into a plantation. It's owner, Captain Cuthbert, appears to have been an earnest and industrious young colonist, eager to cooperate with the Trustees in their desire to develop the silk industry, for he immediately set out a mulberry nursery that was eventually to give the plantation its name. That he built a house may be gathered from the information that he and his sister resided on the place. He also probably constructed the barns for cattle and the other farm buildings. By 1739, thirty acres of the tract had been cleared and planted in general crops. Before the close of the year this propitious beginning of the plantation's activities was halted by the death of Captain Cuthbert. Having been placed in command of a company of rangers and sent by Oglethorpe to South Carolina to buy horses and equipment, "he unhappily sickened and died in that country...news of his death occasioned grief to many people, being a good-natured, sprightly man, generally beloved; ...He had made considerable improvements upon his five hundred acres up the River Savannah and was judged to have one of the best plantations yet in the colony: He died unmarried, leaving a sister (who took care of his house)...." The five hundred acres were inherited by Cuthbert's sister, Ann, for in the very year of the young Scotsman's death, the Trustees' regulation was lifted whereby only a male relative was entitled to inherit land. On March 5, 1740, Ann Cuthbert became the wife of Patrick Graham. Some time before his marriage, Dr. Graham, physician and apothecary, had given up his practice and by 1740 was considered "so industrious a planter that he maintained himself." The romantic circumstances surrounding his courtship of Ann Cuthbert and consequent removal to Mulberry Grover were reported to the Trustees by William Stephens in his journal: Mr. Patrick Graham, Surgeon, who has made considerable improvement in building on his lot in this town, as well as been a constant planter for two or three years past, having Mrs. Cuthbert (sister to the late Capt. Cuthbert, deceased) for his patent dangerously ill in a fever, at that time a lodger in his house, the Doctor took the opportunity of prescribing matrimony to her, as a specifick he was sure would compleat her cure; and on consenting to take his advice in it, they were married at her late brother's plantation. [Dr. Graham died on 30 MAY 1755 and his will leaves his lands to his brother (un-named), a relative named Mungo Graham, and to his widow, Ann Cuthbert. Thus it would appear that Dr. Graham and Ann Cuthbert had no children.] In 1758 Mrs Graham married James Bulloch, a planter of South Carolina, and through a marriage contract vested the ownership of Mulberry Grove in her new husband. Ann died 19 MAY 1764 and James Bulloch continued as proprietor of Mulberry Grove. James Bulloch sold Mulberry Grove on 19 NOV 1770 to Josiah Perry. Mulberry Grove became famous later for the activities of it's later proprietor, Widow Catherine Greene, who was mistress to President George Washington, and Eli Whitney who invented the cotton gin at Mulberry Grove. | Cuthbert, Capt.

| 4134 | John Cuthbert of Drakies served as Provost of Inverness from 1683 to 1689. His monumental inscription in Inverness records the death of "John Cuthbert of Drakies, lately Provost of Inverness" on 21 NOV 1711. On Apr 4, 1685 in his capacity as Provost, John protested in the Court of Session for the precedence of Inverness to be above the burghs of Haddington and others. On 23 APR 1685 he signed the opening of the Court of Session. On 18 March 1689 John Cuthbert of Drakies is listed as a Commissioner for the burgh of Inverness. John is believed, but not confirmed to be the father of the children shown here. | Cuthbert, John (I3370)
|
| 4135 | John Cuthbert of Wester Drakies is recorded as Provost of Inverness from 1636-1638. He is recorded as having received a remission on 1 NOV 1646 and 16 JAN 1647 from Maj. Gen. Middleton, presumably for his participation in the Scottish Civil War of 1645. If so, then he must have been a Royalist under Montrose. John's father, siblings and children are not confirmed but represent this author's best guess based on available evidence as to the likely accounting of the family of Cuthbert of Drakies. ========== Major General Middleton did this day, according to the ordinance of parliament, produce a list, subscribed with his hand, of the names of those persons to whom he has granted passes and of those to whom he has likewise given continuations for acting of themselves according to the passes and after the time thereby prescribed, of which list the tenor follows: roll of those to whom the major general has given remissions and assurance upon their enacting themselves between the time stated and 1 November 1646, record ref. 16 JAN 1647 John Cuthbert of Wester Drakies | Cuthbert, John (I3501)

| 4136 | John Cuthbert was created a Baron of the States of the Kingdom by King James VI on 19 AUG 1592 in favour of John "and his heirs male, or assignees bearing the name and arms of Cuthbert." He is believed to be the John Cuthbert of Auld Castlehill, who served as Provost of Inverness, 1583, 1607-1614 and 1616-1617, however it's possible these terms were served by more than one person with the same name. On 31 JUL 1582 "John Cuthbert of Old Castlehill" was cited as a witness in a Retour of Service for Duncan Makconquhe Dowe (GD176/130). Also cited in the same document is an Alexander Cuthbert in Inverness who has not been identified. On 10 SEP 1593 "John Cuthbert of the Auld Castellhill" was cited as a witness to the following historical bond for the prosecution of the Earl of Huntly for the murder of the Earl of Moray (Murray) in which the provost, bailies and councillors of Inverness are commanded by the King to defend the town of Inverness against the Earl of Huntley: Bond by the town of Inverness for the prosecution of George, Earl of Huntlie [Huntly] and his accomplices. Lachlan McYnthosche [McIntosh] of Dunnachtyne [Dunachton], as one of the commissioners with Andrew, Lord Ochyltree [Ochiltree], and John, Earl of Atholl, for the prosecution of George, Earl of Huntlie [Huntly], and his accomplices for the slaughter of the Earl of Murray [Moray], understanding that the said Earl of Huntlie is convocating for the pursuit of him and his kin and followers and to seize the house of Inverness, which was delivered by the King's command to John, Earl of Atholl, has charged the provost, bailies and council and community of Inverness to render to him their house and fortalice of Inverness called the Steeple, for the defence of the town and lieges, and the provost, bailies, council and community have all in one voice declared that they will defend and keep the foresaid Steeple against the invasion of the Earl of Huntly; and if they do not so that then they will accept the deadly feud of the said Lachlan; Dated at Inverness, 10th September 1593; Witnesses: William McQueyne [McQueen] of Correbroche [Corrybrough], John McPherson in Breyne [Brin], James Innes in Hulleryt [Urlarust], Duncan Thoshe [Tosh] of Pitgany [?Pitgaveny, Elgin], and others.

| 4147 | John Dubh Mhor had eight sons who all grew to adulthood and had descendants. Charles is suggested as the name for one of his younger sons from evidence in the following letter: "1713 - Letter by Alex Stewart to brother Charles Stewart of Dalveich. Herewith by (James Murray of) Strowan's servant, your wallet and wife's provisions." (Garth Papers) There is only one Charles Stewart listed in the Balquhidder OPR, so he is believed to be the same Charles Steuart who married on 12 Feb 1721 in Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland to Isobell Campbell of Killin parish and had the children shown here. This suggestion is further supported by the fact that the birth locations for these children coincide with known residences for other lines of this family. None of the unclaimed descendant lines shown in Stewarts of the South have been matched to this Charles. It's not known if he had later descendants beyond the children suggested here. | Stewart, Charles mac Iain Dubh Mhor (I15531)
|
| 4148 | John Dubh Mhor Stewart had eight sons who all grew to adulthood and had descendants. Alexander is the only son of John Dubh Mhor for whom we have any confirmed documentary evidence of his identity and for whom we have an unbroken descendant genealogy. Alexander is recorded in the Walker Family History as being a son of "Iain Dubh Shenman", son of James Stewart of Ardvorlich. There is no such Gaelic word as "Shenman". This would be a transcription error for "Iain Dubh (mac) Sheamuis," or "Black John (son of) James", known to us as John Dubh Mhor Stewart of Dalveich, progenitor of this clan. The following letter appears to be from this Alexander to his brother, Charles: "1713 - Letter by Alex Stewart to brother Charles Stewart of Dalveich. Herewith by (James Murray of) Strowan's servant, your wallet and wife's provisions." (Garth Papers) Alexander's descendants are shown as 7 Line - The Stewarts in Carnlia, Glentarken and Moral. | Stewart, Alexander mac Iain Dubh Mhor in Dalveich (I15089)

| 4149 | John Dubh Mhor Stewart had eight sons who all grew to adulthood and had descendants. Following traditional custom, his eldest son would have been named, James, after John's father, James Beag Stewart of Ardvorlich. However no documentary evidence has been found to confirm this James' exact identity. He is presumed to be the patriarch of 1 Line - Stewarts in Thornhill and possibly 2 Line - Stewarts in Greenloaning as well. | Stewart, James mac Iain Dubh Mhor in Dalveich (I16276)
|
| 4150 | John Dubh Mhor Stewart had eight sons who all grew to adulthood and had descendants. Following traditional custom, his second son would have been named after his father-in-law whose name is unknown. According to the Atholl Hunting Rolls, John Stewart (presumably our John Dubh Mhor) and Donald McCara were joint-tenants in Carnlia in 1667. As the name Donald/Daniel became prominent in the first four of his eight descendant lines, then this strongly suggests John likely married a daughter of Donald McCara. In which case, following tradition, his second son would have been named Donald. Donald is suggested as the patriarch of 3 Line - The Stewarts in Ardveich, Lochearnhead and Kichp and possibly also of 4 Line - The Stewarts in Walbeich. Based on our current interpretation of known evidence, it is suggested that John may have had the following sons, though we are not certain exactly how Lines 3 & 4 actually descend from John Dubh Mhor Stewart. | Stewart, Donald? mac Iain Dubh Mhor (I15868)
