| 4902 | MCLEAN, NEIL Fatal Accident in Puslinch On Monday, August 16, 1875, Mr. McLean was helping his sons to take in a load of grain and reached over behind the horses to give his son the lines, when one of them kicked him in the neck and broke it. He only lived for a few minutes after the accident. He was one of the oldest and most respected residents of Puslinch and was father of Kenneth McLean of Lemon, Peterson and McLean of Guelph. He was 80 years of age. --- Information from the death certificate: Born in Rosshire. Informant - Mrs. Neil McLean. --- Information from Annals of Puslinch, 1850-1950: Neil McLean settled on lot 20, front of the 7th concession in 1852. --- Husband of Mary McKenzie. Known children were: Ann (born c.1842) married Samuel Waldo of Teeswater; Catherine (born c.1843) married Peter Stewart: Kenneth (c.1845- Jan. 13, 1921), a lawyer in Guelph; Roderick, also a lawyer, died in Los Angeles on Aug. 26, 1911; Margaret McLean, died in July 1936 in Los Angeles; and Mrs. Mary Clark of Wellwood, MB. ------------ Another McLean family from Ross-shire who settled in Puslinch was: John McLean, 1780-1883, his wife, Margaret McPherson, 1782-1868, their sons, Angus, 1830-1894, Donald, 1835-1914, natives of Inverness-shire, Scotland. Note this family moves from Ross to Inverness at the same time as Neil's family. This family married the family of Donald Cameron from Lochbroom, Ross-shire. | McLean, Neil (I10698)

| 4903 | McVean, from the Gaelic, MacBheathan = son of the lively one. Sources conflict as to their origins. Once sourse says they were a branch of Clan Chattan, allied with (and possibly descended from) the MacIntoshes. Whereas Deacon John McVean who authored the history of the Glen Lochay McVeans claims they were a sept of Clan MacNab. It's quite possible that both are true. It may be that the Glen Lochay McVeans are not related to their northern neighbours. Or it's possible that as they moved south they broke from Clan Chattan and allied themselves with the MacNabs. Lived in the most remote part of Glen Lochay, in a narrow valley 5 miles from ythe top of the mountain ridge. Thru the valley flows the river Lochay which emptys from the west into Loch Tay near the villiage of Killen. | MacBean, Donald (I9068)

| 4905 | Melvin B. Ormes was born and bred at Castleton, Vermont, and as a young man went to New York state, where he lived until 1863. Coming with his family to Michigan in that year, he located in Houghton county, settling there before the railroads had penetrated into the wilds of the Upper Peninsula, the people coming here by way of the Lakes, or with teams, the mails, in the winter seasons being transported with dog teams. The country was covered with heavy timber, and he, with characteristic energy and foresight, embarked in the lumber business, first establishing a sawmill at Hancock, and later building one at Menominee, Michigan, and another at Marinette, Wisconsin. Going to Unity, Wisconsin, in 1876, he remained there about eight years. In 1884 he located in Gogebic county, establishing a sawmill near the present site of Marenisco, which was then a dense wilderness, with not a building of any description near. Engaging in the manufacture of lumber under the firm name of the M.B. Ormes Company, he continued it successfully until his death, at the age of sixty-five years. He married Mrs. Jane (Stewart) Scott, who was born in Perthshire, Scotland, and as a child of seven years was brought by her parents to Canada, where they spent their remaining days. She married first John Scott, a contractor, who had charge of the construction of sections of several railroads passing through Ohio, his home being in Hamilton, Ohio, where he died, leaving his widow with four children, Archie, Walter, Aleck, and Katie B. Of her union with her second husband, four children were born, namely: Martha, Mary, Eugene Allen, the subject of this brief sketch, and Melvin L.

| 4911 | Met for the first time on Aug. 16, 2007, Mary Virginia Brown, widow of Stacy E. Brown. She gave me considerable information about the Brown family and herself. Stacy's first wife was Vee and she died shortly after Stacy retired from the Air Force as a LCol. I understood that Stacy and Vee married young. Stacy next married Lavelle (about 10 years before he died) whom other sources have identified as Laura. He married 3rd. Mary Virginia Polaynar (maiden name which was properly spelled Polajnar in Slovakia) about 6 years before he died. Mary married first Richard Pitts and they were married about 48 years when he died. Richard was a commercial fisherman, fishing boat owner, and boat repairman. Mary was born in 1920. Stacy had a twin brother Roddy. Mary gave me a copy of a picture of taken of Stacy and General Dwight Eisenhower which appears to have been taken in 1947. The Packard in the background has a 1947 Minnesota license plate and the picture is inscribed "For major Stacy Brown - with best wishes & personal regard, Dwy O(?) Eisenhower" The onlookers across the street appear to be caucasion, but the buildings in the background appear foreigh. Mary thought it might have been taken in Japan as Stacy was in charge of an airbase there. Mary also gave me a copy of a sheet of paper listing what are apparently Clarence L. Brown's family. She also gave me 2 pages of descendantancy charts for Dwight, Mary, and Clarence's families. | Hanson, Vernice (I7525)

| 4919 | Milton Walker's existence is not confirmed. His mother is recorded in 1941 crossing the border at Lewiston, New York, USA. It appears she is bound for Florida to visit her son Milton. The record is difficult to read, so uncertain. This is the only record of Milton's existence. His date of birth is estimated here based on the face that he would presumably have been adult age in 1941, yet born after the 1921 census, or he would have appeared with his parents in that census. There is an undated obituary index notice from Windsor, Essex, Ontario, Canada, for a Milton J Walker, son of William Joseph Walker. | Walker, Milton J. (I22094)

| 4921 | Minnie had five children, but only two made it to adulthood. It may have had something to do with the rheumatic fever she had as a teenager, but one boy was stillborn. Another boy named Donald died shortly after birth. The youngest, Joann, was injured at birth by a doctor's negligence. She had severe brain damage and died at the age of 5. | Brown, Minnie Aileen (I1830)

| 4922 | Minnie was born in 1873 in Hamilton, Wentworth, Ontario, Canada as the youngest of four children. her parents were first cousins. In 1881 and 1891, Minnie was residing in Hamilton, Wentworth, Ontario, Canada with her parents and siblings. In 1898, Minnie married John Cameron, a police constable, later detective. Her first cousin, Jean Stewart (daughter of Hugh Stewart), married Tom Brown who was also a police officer and later became Chief of the Hamilton Police Force. Minne and John had two children who both died in infancy. The Stewart and Cameron families both came from pioneer settler families in Wellington County, Ontario, Canada. In 1901, Minnie and Jack were living in a multi-family lodging residence in Hamilton. In 1911 and 1921, Minnie and Jack were residing in Hamilton, Wentworth, Ontario, Canada. Minnie and Jack had two children who did not survive infancy. After the death of her first husband in 1921, Minnie married secondly in 1924 to Beniah Baer (Bear). He was a locomotive engineer. They had no children. | Stewart, Minnie Catharine (I17848)

| 4924 | Mistakenly shown in Comrie OPR as son of John Dochardach and Mary Stewart in Wester Glentarken. There is no such couple having another child in the parish, let alone Wester Glentarken, thus it is suggested that his father's name is mistakenly recorded as John instead of Peter. | Dochardach, John (I22224)

| 4938 | Moderator of the Presbyterian Church in Canada 6 Sep 1875 in Elgin, Monteregie Region, Quebec, Canada. "Walter George Brown was the son of Charles Brown and Christina White." -- FindAGrave Wikipedia: "Walter George Brown (September 6, 1875 - April 1, 1940) was a Presbyterian Church in Canada minister who opposed the formation of the United Church of Canada and was a United Reform Movement MP in the Canadian House of Commons. Born in Athelstan (now Hichinbrooke), Huntingdon County, Quebec of Scots-Irish parents, Brown was educated at McGill University where he received an Honours B.A. Degree in 1899 and at The Presbyterian College, Montreal, where he graduated in 1902 with a B.D. degree, the Silver Medal, a $60.00 Theological Scholarship, and a prize ($10.00 in books) in public speaking. He also won other scholarships and prizes during his time at Presbyterian College. During his summers, he went into the newly opened lumbering camps of Northern Ontario, serving first as a student missionary, was ordained on 30 September 1902 as an Ordained Missionary to Canada Atlantic Lumber Camps, from Rainy Lake to Whitney under the North Bay Presbytery. He remained in this post until July 1903, when he moved west to work amongst miners in the West Kootenay area of British Columbia at Salmo, New Denver and Silverton, all in proximity of Nelson. While serving in ministry in British Columbia, he earned his M.A. degree from McGill, with a paper titled "History and Philosophy of Socialism", and was married to Martha Rowat of Athelstan, Quebec; her father, Andrew Rowat (1839-1918) served as minister at Elgin and Athelstan from 1884 - 1909; her mother, Margaret, was the daughter of Donald MacKenzie pioneer minister in Zorra Township, Oxford County, Ontario. After leaving the Kootenays to study in Montreal and at the United Free Church of Scotland College in Glasgow, he was called and inducted in March 1908, as minister of Knox Presbyterian Church in Red Deer, Alberta, and would remain there until 1925. He also served as convenor of Home Missions for the Red Deer Presbytery supervising three congregations and fifteen missions. He served as Moderator of the Synod of Alberta in 1915. At the 1925 General Assembly, Brown was one of 79 Commissioners who refused to join the United Church, and met in a corner of Toronto's College Street United Church at the conclusion on June 9 in order to resume business later that night at nearby Knox Presbyterian Church and legally claim their continuity. Brown left Red Deer later that year to oversee the re-organization of some Presbyterians in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan that had voted against joining the United Church. St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Saskatoon was formed under his pastoral leadership, and remains the largest PCC congregation within the province. In June 1931, he was elected Moderator of the Presbyterian General Assembly, and during his Moderatorial year, travelled to Asia, and visited Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and the Manchuria portion of China. Reverend Walter George Brown is one of the few Moderators of the Presbyterian Church who was or is not a Reverend Doctor; he refused to accept Honorary Doctorates from his Alma Mater, nor Toronto's Knox College. His funeral took place in Ottawa, and is buried at the Athelstan Presbyterian Cemetery." | Brown, Rev. George Walter (I21920)

| 4942 | Morgan Brown added additional information to Patrick Stewart's 1763 history of the Stewarts of Ledcreich in which Morgan Brown is referred to as " the writer of these sketches." His own unknown later biographer says: "The author, Dr. Morgan Brown, came to Tennessee from South Carolina in 1795, and was one of the leading citizens of Montgomery County from that time until his removal from the state in 1808. He laid out a town on the south bank of Cumberland River, at the mouth of Deason's creek, which was established by the legislature in 1796, under the name of Palmyra. Through his influence Congress made Palmyra a port of entry in 1797, then the only port of entry in the West. At this time Knoxville was his nearest post office. Palmyra was a port of entry for only two years, when it was deprived of that distinction in favor of Cincinnati. About 1802 he built a furnace some three and a half miles from the mouth of Yellow Creek, which is believed to have been the first "iron works" operated in Montgomery County. He was chairman of the Montgomery County Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions from 1800 till he moved to Kentucky in 1808. The writer does not know at what time he returned to Tennessee. He died in Davidson County, Tennessee, in 1840, at the advanced age of 82 years. He was a man of strong convictions and resolute purpose. He writes with great clearness, as well as force and vigor, and outside of his family history and genealogy, his sketch of the Revolutionary period in North Carolina is a valuable contribution to the history of that great struggle. Unfortunately, he does not bring his memoirs down beyond the early years of the Revolutionary War." (source: Family history dictated in 1763 by Patrick Stewart, formerly 5th of Ledcreich, and supplemented by Dr. James Carraway in 1789, and by Dr.Morgan Brown at an unknown date. This was preserved in the Brown family bible.) | Brown, Dr. Morgan L. (I23856)

| 4943 | Mormaer Maol Domhnaich (sometimes anglicized as Maldoven) was the son of Mormaer Ailín II, and ruled Lennox 1217-1250. Like his predecessor, Ailín II, he showed absolutely no interest in extending an inviting hand to oncoming French or English settlers. He has, moreover, gained a reputation amongst modern scholars as being one of the more conservative Gaelic rulers in thirteenth century Scotland. Despite that, he seems to have remained loyal to his royal overlord. There is no evidence that he participated in any of the western-oriented rebellions which were so frequent in the era. The Mormaer even sent his son Maol Choluim with the king's expedition to Moray in 1232. He was also a witness to the treaty between King Alexander II of Scotland and his brother-in-law Henry III of England at Newcastle in 1237, concerning the much disputed northern counties of England.[1] Nevertheless, in 1238 Alexander distrusted him sufficiently to remove the Castle of Dumbarton from his control, giving the Scottish king an important foothold in the Mormaerdom. As part of the same act, Alexander II regranted the Mormaerdom to Maol Domhnaich as a military fief, indicating perhaps that the Mormaerdom's prior status was ambiguous. He married Beatrix, the daughter of the High Steward of Scotland and had two known sons (Maol Choluim and Donnchadh), and one daughter. Maol Domhnaich's reign came to an end with his death in 1250.

| 4945 | Moses moved to south Wales around 1858. In 1876 he was killed in a pit explosion. Based on 1881 census data, it appears that his wife, Elizabeth, then remarried to John Fisher. In 1881 Moses' children are found living at 36 Farm Road, Gelligaer, Glamorgan, Wales with the family of John Fisher and his wife, Elizabeth. | Prangley, Moses (I13020)

| 4947 | Most promising birth: 30 DEC 1787, Buchany, Kilmadock, Perth, Scotland son of Alexander Stewart and Janet McKinlay. James and his family are not found in 1841. In 1851 there is a James Stewart, b. 1828 in Kilmadock, residing in Calton, Lanark with his parents James & Catharine both aged 48. There is only one James Stewart born in Kilmadock with parents James and Catharine 1820-1840 and that being James Stewart son of this couple. Thus it would appear that it must be the right son, James. But the parents James and Catharine are far too young to have married in 1812. Thus, it seems that the ages of James Sr. and his wife Catharine must be either incorrectly recorded or transcribed. | Stewart, James (I16431)

| 4948 | Most sources show Walter as the second son of King Robert II, However, Oram shows Walter as the eldest son, which makes more sense onamstically. Walter married to Isabella, Countess of Fife. She had inherited the earldom just a year before when her father died. Walter died before they had any children. Her father-in-law, the king, convinced her to surrender her earldom to the king's next son, Robert Stewart, Earl of Menteith. | Stewart, Walter Lord of Fife (I18426)
