5001 Murray's baptism was witnessed by John Buchanan in Auchleskie & Alexander Buchanan Jr in Auchleshie. Murray is described in Stewarts of the South as a minor son. Stewart, Murray (I17805)
 
5002 Myrtle had no children by her first husband and adopted a daughter with her second husband. Cuthbert, Myrtle Isabella (I3651)
 
5003 Myrtle's parents had split up before 1920, but Myrtle is not found living with her mother in Michigan in 1920. Family testimony indicates that she was buried in Farmington, Michigan with her step father. Emerson, Myrtle I. (I5636)
 
5004 Nancy Eliza Cairns 8 Nov 1865 in Hinchinbrooke, Monteregie Region, Quebec, Canada. DEATH 29 Mar 1938 (aged 72). "Nancy Eliza Cairns was the dau of William James Cairns and Sarah Brown. She married Willis Thomas. She died on March 29 1938 at the age of 72 years. Huntingdon Gleaner Extract: 09-19-1917 Nettie Eliza Cairns, daughter of the late William Cairns, of Athelstan PQ, married Willis Merrill Thomas, of Malone,N.Y..

5005 Nancy Furlow (aka Sprinsteen) petitions the Crown for a land grant as the daughter of a United Empire Loyalist. It appears to indicate that she was living in Gainsboro, Lincoln County in 1820, but the reference is unclear. She appears to be widowed at this point.

Widow Furlough is shown in the 1828 Niagara census living in Gainsborough Township, Lincoln County, along with 3 males under 16 and 1 female under 16. This is certainly Nancy Furlow. However it cannot be said for certain that all of the other children are necessarily her own children. It is suspected that one of they boys may be a younger Springsteen brother. Springsteen family records show that Nancy married secondly to Gideon Kentle as show here. Gideon also seems to have died young as Nancy is again shown as a widow in the 1861 Gainsborough census. She has not been identified in the 1871 census and is presumed to have died by 1871. 
Springsteen, Nancy (I14625)
 
5006 Nancy is recorded in the 1891 census as having been born in Quebec, but of Scottish origin. Knowledge of her surname comes from "Euphemia Township History, 1849-1999" where she is shown as wife of Nathaniel Prangley. (Researched by Ron Cox). McCray, Nancy (I9820)
 
5007 Nancy is the only Tasker child to be called by her first name. Tasker, Nancy Madolin (I19041)
 
5008 Nancy McIntosh is buried in Zion United Church Cemetery, Dundee, Huntingdon, Quebec, Canada. McIntosh, Ann Nancy (I24931)
 
5009 Nathaniel was previously married to Hannah White. Kirby, Nathaniel (I8665)
 
5010 Nathaniel's birth has not been accurately identified. He would likely have been a distant cousin of his wife. Prangley, Nathaniel Potter (I13022)

5015 Nelker gives her dates as 1818-20 Feb 1881, which is certainly an error. It would make her 30 years older than her husband and 60 years old when she gave birth. Scaggs, Mary Rebecca (I22605)
 
5016 Nelker gives her location at death as Boston, Massachusettes, USA. Elizabeth and George Calvert had no children. (Nelker) Steuart, Elizabeth (I14702)
 
5017 Nelker gives no date of birth of Elizabeth, but places her between Lydia and Arthur, so 1896 is estimated. Nelker says she died about 12 years old, however the printing is blotchy so it could read 10 or 18 years old. Steuart, Elizabeth Calvert (I22631)
 
5018 Nelker gives no information or dates on Margaret other than she died young. Nelker places her in the birth order between Israel (1826) and James (1829) thus her birth is estimated here to be ca. 1828. Thorndike, Margaret (I22649)
 
5019 Nelker gives only dates, no locations, for birth and death. Thorndike, Israel (I22648)
 
5020 Nelker lists Henrietta as the youngest of seven children. Her birth date and location are not given. Her birth here is estimated as being slightly younger than her brother Charles. Her location at death is unknown. She never married. (Nelker) Thorndike, Henrietta Augusta (I22503)
 
5021 Nelly Marcle and "Nancy" the third wife are probably the same person. Marcle, Nelly (I9522)

5042 Niall of the Nine Hostages

Niall Nóigiallach, or Niall of the Nine Hostages, was one of the greatest Irish Kings. He was the only son of Eochaid Muigh-medon, High King, and his wife Carthann, daughter of an English (Breton actually under Roman control) King. Eochaid later married Mong-Fionn, daughter of the King of Munster, and had another four sons. These sons were Brian, Fiachra, Ailill, and Fergus.

It is said that Mong-Fionn was jealous of her stepson Niall and wanted her first son, Brian, to succeed Eochaid. She did not rest until she had Niall outcast and his mother Carthann reduced to her servant, carrying water for the Court. But the poet, Torna, who had raised and educated Niall, rescued him from his misery.

At this time in Irish history the power of the poet or bard in Ireland was second only to the King. As a priveleged class, they could wander freely throughout the land and any person who refused shelter to them was severely punished and his lands deemed cursed. The power of the poet Torna, in particular, is later shown in the fact that he also fostered Corc, King of Cashel, who helped St. Patrick.

As Niall was entering manhood, he was returned to the Court and welcomed by his father. One of Niall's first acts was to restore his mother to her rightful place. Niall underwent many tests as a young man as did all five of Eochaid's sons. The High King had to choose an heir and young Niall frequently did extremely well. In one story, the five brothers were helping in a smith's forge learning the art when it suddenly caught fire. The King who just happened to be there (it is believed that he set the fire), told his sons to save what they could. Niall's brothers saved the chariots, a sword, a shield, the forge trough and a bundle of wood. Niall saved the Bellows, sledges, anvil and anvil-block thus saving the smith from disaster. After this test Niall was selected as successor of the Ard-Righ or High King.

But Niall's stepmother, Mong-Fionn, still had her hopes for Brian and upon Eochaid's death circa 357 AD, she managed to get her brother Crimthann pronounced King until Brian came of age. Once in power, however, Crimthann betrayed his sister and took full control of the Kingdom instead of regency.

To Crimthann's credit, he proved to be a strong king and ruled for twenty years. His death came at the hands of his own sister who tricked him into drinking a poison drink after taking some herself. Her last effort to make her son Brian king failed, as Niall was crowned High King in 377 AD.

During his early reign, Niall consolidated his power at home by subduing his enemies and taking hostages from the royal families in opposition. Meanwhile the Picts were getting wary of the small Irish colony of Dalriada in what is now Scotland. They attacked and severely damaged the colony. In response Niall ventured to Scotia Minor and the land of the Picts here again subduing all and gaining submission through the taking of royal hostages - hence the name Niall of the Nine Hostages. After a short consolidation, he marched south with his Scot and Pict allies against the Romans in Britain. It was there that Niall's forces took hostage one Succat, who is better known by his later name of St. Patrick.

Niall continued to harass and raid the Romans, for it is said that the bounty from such raids filled his ships. He even raided into Gaul (France) and gained control of a small kingdom there. It is on one of these raids into Gaul in 405 AD that Niall was finally killed. Ironically, Niall was felled by the arrow of an enemy from home. He died on the banks of the River Loire, after being ambushed by Eochaid the son of the King of Leinster, who was hiding in the bushes.

Besides taking St. Patrick in his youth, Niall's reign is known mainly for two things. First, he consolidated the northern region of Ireland and created a dynasty that kept his descendants High Kings of Ireland for 600 years. Second, his military ability led him to the Irish Control of all of Alba and a large part of Britain. He seriously damaged the Romans ability to control Britain and even managed to carve out some Irish controlled territory in France. It is said this Irish Empire was only eclipsed in size by Dathi's, Niall's nephew and successor.

Nóigiallach, Niall Mor (I11835)
 
5043 Nicholas is listed in the following documents:

The Subsistence List of 1710 & 1712 - This list was compiled from the "journal" of Palatine debtors to the British government for subsistence given either in New York City or in the Hudson River settlements, from their landing in 1710 to September, 1712. He is listed as "Feller, Niclaus 2-2, 4-2 (1710 - 2 over 10, 2 under 10, 1712 4 over 10, 2 under 10)".

List of Palatines who volunteered for the expedition against Canada in 1711
Feller, Niclaus from Queensbury (East Camp) along with "Maisinger, Cond. from Annsberg," (Schoharie settlement). (He is believed to be Conrad Meisner, whose descendants later married into the Furler family.)

THE SIMMENDINGER REGISTER - 1717, as "Feller, Nicolaus, in Nuu Quunsberg (New Queensbury, East Camp, Livingston Estate), wife Elisabeth and 6 children." 
Feller, Nicholas (I5887)
 
5044 Nicholas was a son of Walrath Wohlbeen and Anna Catharina Baumann. His baptism was witnessed by Hans Adam Schipper and Nicolaus Susar, R.C. Nicholas was a patentee of Burnetsfield in 1723, and of Staley's in 1755/65. Nicholas wrote his will on 23 Feb. 1773, and it was proved 11 Nov. 1783. Wohleben, Johannes Nicholas (I20265)
 
5045 Nicolas does not fit chronologically with this family and is probably accounted here erroniously. He is presented here as found in the Colbert Genealogy. Colbert, Nicolas (I2767)
 
5046 Nicolas was a freeman merchant and banker in Paris. Camus, Nicolas (I2426)
 
5047 Nicolas was a merchant in Rethel and served as Commissioner of War. Colbert, Nicolas (I2766)
 
5048 Nicolas was a wealthy merchant and cloth dealer in Reims. His daughters controlled the great abbeys of Sainte-Marie de Challot, of Sainte-Claire de Reims and of the LeLys near Melun, although it's not known which daughter was in charge of which abbey. Colbert, Nicolas (I2765)
 
5049 Nigel was educated at Winchester College and also Royal Military College, Sandhurst, where he gained the sword of honour. Lt Nigel Neis Ramsay 2nd Battalion Black Watch, Royal Highlanders, was killed in action at Magersfontein during the Boer War on the 11th December 1899, aged 23 years. A rather unique memorial to him is located inside St Ninians Episcopal Church, Alyth. A brass effigy of Lt. Ramsay exists in the church and is available for brass rubbings. Ramsay, Lt. Nigel Neis (I13332)
 
5050 No baptism record has been found for Alexander. He is found residing with his parents in Deanston in 1841. However neither he nor his mother are found with the family in Deanston in 1851 and it is presumed they both died between 1841-1851. Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions has no burial records for this family. Stewart, Alexander (I14924)
