| 7001 | William was known as "the Bastard" and later as "the Conqueror". He was the only son of Duke Robert of Normandy and thus, although illegitimate, succeeded his father. He became Count of Maine by conquest in 1063 and defeated King Harold II at the Battle of Hastings in 1066, where he claimed the English throne and founded Norman rule in England. | Normandy, William of (I11931)
|
| 7002 | William was recruited for service in WWI in 1916. His rank is not given on the Canadian Archives website. | Prangley, William James (I13172)
|
| 7003 | William worked as a crew chief lineman for Bell Telephone for most of his life. He was a Freemason and an avid bowler. William was a "very strict father" who had a strong say in who his daughters dated. He even governed their personal appearance. Once, when Winn wanted her "beautiful long hair cut short like the other girls", William humiliated her by taking her to a men's barbershop where she received a crew cut. His eldest daughters never married. In 1891 at age 18, he was residing in Hamilton with his parents and siblings and employed as a labourer. In 1901 he was residing on his own in Hamilton and employed as a telephone lineman. His youngest brother James was also employed as a telephone lineman at the same time. In 1911 he was residing in London and employed as a foreman in the accident insurance business. In 1921, he was residing in at 311 Warncliffe Road in London with his wife and three daughters. He was employed as a foreman in the telephone industry. He had converted to Anglicanism. | Brown, William John (I1999)
|
| 7004 | William worked in the shipyard in Belfast for the White Star Line and helped build the Titanic. He was supposed to sail on it as well, but Mormon missionaries talked him into a later sailing. He immigrated to Idaho, USA on the ship, Corsican, on 28 JUN 1913. William and Jennie were childhood friends who married young and were happy together. She was 3 months pregnant when they married. They had seven children, only three survived to adulthood. As a Mormon, William appears to have been a practicing bigamist. He was married to his first two wives at the same time. | Harten, William (I7725)
|
| 7005 | William's baptism is mis-transcribed in the IGI as "William Harther". | Horsley, William (I7883)
|
| 7006 | William's baptism was witnessed by William Stewart and William Young both in Doune. William is presumed not to be one of the three sons mentioned in Stewarts of the South as being a merchant in Glasgow, as he was likely too young at the time. | Stewart, William (I18462)
|
| 7007 | William's birth is recorded in the Balquhidder OPR as having taken place on 21 Dec 1738. His believed to have died in infancy prior to his parents' emigration to North Carolina, USA, in 1739, as he is not found in any later records. He is not mentioned in this father's family tree, dictated in 1769. | Stewart, William (I18438)
|
| 7008 | William's exact relationship to the family of Castlehill is uncertain. The list of provosts of Inverness shows a William Cuthbert holding that office during the years: 1569 - 1569, 1573 - 1574, 1577 - 1577, 1580 - 1580, 1585 - 1586 and 1602-1603. It is difficult to determine how many different William Cuthberts are included in these terms and how many were held by the same person on repeat occasions. It is likely that the latter term (1602-1602) was held by a different William than the earlier terms. The earlier terms could just as easily be one William Cuthbert as more than one. The latter William (if there is more than one) is cited in a Charter of Resignation dated 24 NOV 1602 (GD23/3/3) as "William Cuithbert, provost of Innernes" along with the other town bailies regarding local fishing rights. William could fit as a brother, father or uncle to John Cuthbert, 7th of Castlehill or multiple combinations thereof if there was more than one William. Note: The latter William preceded John Cuthbert 7th of Castlehill as Provost in 1602 so he must be older than John, however, John Cuthbert was created Baron prior to that in 1592 and thus must be more senior than William. (Unless the John Cuthbert, Baron, was not 7th of Castlehill, but an earlier and elderly baron, but that seems hard to reconcile.) There is nothing that shows John Cuthbert 7th as a son of George 6th. One possibility could be if William Provost was the younger brother of George 6th and father of John 7th, noting that John 7th's son and heir was William. | Cuthbert, William? (I3728)
|
| 7009 | William's exact relationship to the family of Castlehill is uncertain. The list of provosts of Inverness shows a William Cuthbert holding that office during the years: 1569 - 1569, 1573 - 1574, 1577 - 1577, 1580 - 1580, 1585 - 1586 and 1602-1603. It is difficult to determine how many different William Cuthberts are included in these terms and how many were held by the same person on repeat occasions.

|
| 7010 | William's father is not confirmed. His granddaughter, Nancy Elvira Furler (daughter of David Orren Furler) wrote in a letter about attending her cousin Ervin Furler's birthday on June 22. By our present accounting that would make Ervin a first cousin to Elvira's father, David, and it would make William Henry Furler the brother of Jonas Furler, Ervin's father. It's possible that William Henry and Jonas were not brothers, but instead were first cousins, but it is suggested that it is less likely that Nancy would be attending her father's second cousin's birthday party. Furthermore, in 1861 and 1871 William Furler and his suggested father, Cornelius Furler, were both residing nearby to each other in Gainsborough, Lincoln County, Ontario, Canada. Thus, in the absence of confirming or refuting evidence, the closer relationship is to be preferred for now. According to family tradition among Conrad Hosiah Furler's descendants, William and Mary had thirteen children including more than one set of twins, and one of the daughters was apparently committed to a mental institution. William and Mary's family Bible records their children as follows: 1. David Oron Furler, born 12 Mar 1851 (twin) 2. Margaret Furler, born 12 Mar 1851 (twin) 3. Joseph Henry Furler, born 8 Nov 1853 4. Mary Agnes Furler, born 27 Mar 1858 5. Conrad Hosiah Furler, born 27 Mar 1860 6. Harry (or Henry or Harvey) Elmer Furler, born 19 Dec 1862 7. Garner Emerson Furler, born 22 Dec 1866 8. James Alexander Furler, born 11 Mar 1867 9. Charles William Henry Furler, born 4 Jan 1869 (twin) 10. Charlot Ann Furler, born 4 Jan 1869 (twin) 11. Nancy Margaret Furler, born 2 Dec 1870 (Marilda Harriet Furler, born 1877 is missing from this record, presumably the Bible was not updated after 1870. The seven year gap would suggest that another child may have been born 1871-1876 who did not survive.) ========= Ont. Death Reg. William Furler, 28 MAR 1907, farmer, 5th concession, Wainfleet, Welland (believed to be the registration location, not his actual residence), married, place of birth: Ontario. On his son David's death registration, David's father's place of birth is recorded as "unknown", informant being David's son (William's grandson) Marcellus Furler, then crossed out with "Penna, USA" written in as a correction entered in 1932 by an unknown person (possibly initials SDL). Thus it would appear that by the time of William's grandson, knowledge of the family's origin was already lost, but by 1932 the erroneous legend of Pennsylvania Dutch origins had evolved. The myth that this family originated in Pennsylvania persisted until the end of the 20th century. -------- In 1861 William and his family were living in Gainsborough, Lincoln County, Ontario, Canada where William was employed as a farm labourer for Elias Davis. In 1871 William is recorded as Furlow and is found living only a few farms away from Eli Furlow/Furler, further suggesting that they are brothers. He is also living next door to his in-laws Joseph and Mary Doughnee and their son Charles Joseph Doughnee. William's place of birth is given as "Ontario". | Furler, William Henry (I6460)
|
| 7011 | William's identity was recorded by his grandson, George Stewart, in the family history written in 1848. William's date of birth is given in family records as 1754, but that is chronologically impossible. His first son was allegedly born in 1770 and even that date is questionably late. The IGI reveals a birth for an Alexander Stewart, bap 9 DEC 1762 in Old Deer, son of William Stewart and Jean Warrender. The original film has not yet been consulted to verify place of birth. However IGI and census records show that there was no other Stewart family in Old Deer parish except this one until the mid-19th century. Thus it seems nearly certain that this entry pertains to this William and is likely the correct birth for his son Alexander. This would make the likely birth for his eldest son John more likely to be ca. 1760 and William's birth to be more likely ca. 1735. Such a date fits better with the family tradition that William was with his father while his father was living as a fugitive and would thus have been born prior to 1745. | Stewart, William 2nd in Hythie (I18799)
|
| 7012 | William's relationship to his father Samuel is not confirmed. Hardingstone parish records show a small number of persons surnamed Harrold who all fit chronologically well into one family. Census records show these suggested family members all residing nearby to each other. And the male heads of household are all employed as agricultural labourers. Thus it is suggested, but not confirmed, that William is probably a son of Samuel Harrold as shown here. In 1841 William was residing in "Centre of Village", Hardingstone, Northampton, England. He has not been found in 1851 or later. William is mentioned in the following court notice: Northampton Division Petty Sessions -- William Harrold of Hardingstone was allowed to settle with Thomas Partridge for an assualt committed on him on the 23d May last (1843) at Great Houghton. http://www.northants-familytree.net/1843.html | Harrold, William (I7711)
|
| 7013 | William, 5 (Charles, 4 John, 3 Robert, 2 Walter, 1 ) b. in Londonderry, N. H., Feb. 12, 1733; came to Colrain with his father and resided on the old homestead, and was prominent and active in the affairs of the town, both in peace and war, serving as a soldier in the last struggle with the French and Indians, in 1755, 1 1S& an d 1757, under Capt. Israel Williams at Colrain and Charlemont. He was one of the Minute-men who marched on the Lexington Alarm in April, 1775, under Capt. Hugh McClellan; later served as Lieutenant in the militia. He was chosen selectman in 1769, 1779, 1781, 1783, 1784 and 1786, m. Elizabeth, b. 1738, dau. of Matthew Clark of Colrain who was killed by the Indians in 1746. In 1770 he with three others bought land lying in Bernardston Gore cc on a river called Green River/' and in 1771 was one of the signers of a petition to have the Gore annexed to Colrain. He sold his old homestead to William Nelson, and went to live with his son in the Gore. He died about 1804 and like his predecessor "rank growth and tangled grass alone crown the rough sod beneath which he sleeps," but Nature forgets not his resting place and scatters her sparkling jewels upon the spot, u and no more brilliant victories could be achieved than those which speak from those old graves, unmarked by human hands." From the following inventory of his estate we catch an imaginary portrait of this brave and stately Colonial forefather in his velvet breeches and silver knee buckles : An Inventory of the Lt.

| 7015 | Winn, like her sister Merrill, never married the two sisters lived together for life. Winn was a strong leader. She was captain of the girls' basketball team in high school and was an executive in the insurance industry (personnel manager for London Life) years before it was socially acceptable for women to hold such positions. Winn was a strong caretaker who lived with, and looked after, her parents in their later life. She also lived with her younger sister Merrill for life. | Brown, Sarah Winnifred (I2000)
|
| 7016 | Winnifred and Lloyd lived on Cowley Avenue in Ottawa after they were married. In 1948 the couple moved to Brookings, South Dakota. In 1951 the couple moved back to Canada, to London, Ontario. | Richardson, Dr. Lloyd Thomas (I13496)
|
| 7017 | Winnifred is not found with her parents in 1910 and is presumed to have died in childhood. | Owen, Winifred (I12240)
|
| 7018 | Winnifred was an elegant woman who was fond of the arts and fashion. She had a particular passion for hats. She loved to paint, knit, write and read. She was an excellent homemaker. She loved to can fruit and vegetables from Lloyd's garden and she liked to bake pies and muffins. She was such a consummate host that she even kept a record of every meal she ever hosted including a list of who the guests were, what food was served, and which dishes were used, so that she would never repeat the same hosting experience twice for the same person. Winnifred was involved in the United Church Women's Association at Robinson United Church in London, Ontario. She was president of the Women's Canadian Club of London. She participated in the University of Western Ontario Faculty Wives' Club, the London Council of Woman, and in her book club. | Thornton, Winnifred Pauline (I19353)

| 7038 | [James Stewart] had an only child, Ann, who married (in 1794) Edward Tonge. A news- paper published at Charleston, in its issue of Tuesday, Nov. 3, 1794, gave a brief announcement of the wedding of Edward Tonge, esq., of St.Paul's parish (Colleton) and Miss Ann Stewart of St.George's Dorchester. This would indicate that Ann's father resided, or had resided, in St.George's parish, Dorchester. And this suggests that he, very likely, belonged to the same family of Stewarts as the Duncan Stewart of St.George's Dorchester whose will, dated May 1, 1746, and probated July 5, 1748, named his brothers and sisters John of St. Paul's parish, who had sons James and John; Daniel; Alexander, Janet; Grizel; Elspeth; and Margaret, F: 174. The surname was spelled Stuart in the will. Edward Tonge, esq., was born Sep. 13, 1769, son of John & Susanna Tonge, and died Oct. 18, 1809, at his mansion house on Cane Acres in St.Paul's parish, as shown by a tombstone "Erected to his memory by his most affectionate wife Ann" in an old graveyard by the side of the road between Bacon's Bridge and Charleston. Ann was Edward's second wife, he having married when rather young Elizabeth Murray, who was born Oct. 25, 1772, in Charleston, and died July 15, 1788, in thar city, aged 15 years and 8 months, as stated on a stone erected by her husband in 1794. Ann's mother-in-law, Susanna Tonge, continued to reside at Cane Acres until her death Aug. 18, 1828, at the age of 86 years. Ann had no children by Edward, and awhile after his death in 1809 she married a man named Gist and went to live in Union County, S. C. There Mr. Gist died, and some time afterward she died, childless. In her possession was a big bible which had belonged to her father, James Stewart, and placed within it was the family lineage running back to King Robert II of Scotland which her grandfather, Patrick Stewart, had had his son Charles write out from "uncontroverted history." A brother of Ann's second husband, upon request, sent "this ancient paper" to Morgan Brown, who married Elizabeth Little, born Nov. 24, 1765, daughter of William and Catherine (Stewart) Little. Elizabeth Little was a cousin to Ann. (Edson, George. Stewart Clan Magazine, Vol. 34, Tome G, No. 8, Feb. 1957.) | Stewart, Ann (I15195)
