  • A Final Chapter
    A FINAL CHAPTER Compiled By J. L. HERRERA A FINAL CHAPTER DEDICATED TO: The memory of my father, Godfrey (‘Geoff’) Allman Clarke; who saw a good book and a comfortable chair as true pleasures … AND WITH SPECIAL THANKS TO: Mirka Hercun-Facilli, Eve Masterman, Ellen Naef, Cheryl Perriman, Patrick Herrera, Sheila Given, Marie Cameron, Poppy Lopatniuk, and the Meeting House Library. INTRODUCTION So much for thinking it was time to cut and run, or descend heavily into a comfortable armchair, and say “No more”. I did actually say just that. And then the old itch came over me. Like someone becoming antsy at the sight of a card table or roulette wheel. One more go won’t hurt— The trouble is—the world may be drowning under books most of which I don’t particularly want to read but there are always those which throw up an idea, a thought, a curiosity, a sense of delight, a desire to know more about someone or something. They sneak in when I’m not on guard. I say “I wonder—” before I realise the implications. On the other hand they, the ubiquitous ‘they’, keep telling us ordinary mortals to use our brains. Although I think that creating writers’ calendars is the ultimate in self-indulgence I suppose it can be argued that it does exercise my brain. And as I am hopeless at crossword puzzles but don’t want my brain to turn into mush … here we go round the mulberry bush and Pop! goes the weasel, once more. I wonder who wrote that rhyme? At a guess I would say that wonderful author Anon but now I will go and see if I can answer my question and I might be back tomorrow to write something more profound.

  • Mcnair, Mcnear, and Mcneir GENEALOGIES
    McNAIR, McNEAR, AND McNEIR GENEALOGIES Compiled oy JAMES BIRTLEY McNAIR CHICAGO PUBLISHED BY THE AUTHOR i9z3 COPYRIGHT 1923 BY ]ADS BIR.TLE1!' MCNAIR All Rights Reserved Published April 1923 Composed and Printed By The University of Chicago Press Chica~o. Illinois, U.S.A. PREFACE In this book is given the legends which show that the McNairs are a division of the MacFarlane clan and that their home was on the borders of Loch Lomond, Scotland. It is also shown that the name Macnayr has been found on documents as early as 1390 and that a coat-of-arms was given by King Robert Bruce to a chieftain of the McNairs at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314. All the McNair, McNear, and McNeir genealogies obtainable have been collected in their more or less complete forms. Those in the United States have been arranged as far as possible under the states in which the head of the family resided at the time of the the first census in 1790. In order to show the distribution of McNairs in the United States at that time, that part of the census of 1790 which deals with McNairs is included. It is hoped that a later edition can be published which will con­ tain more information about the McNairs and McNair genealogies. I wish to express my grateful appreciation to those many members of the clan whose assistance has made this work possible, as well as to Mr. Albert C. McFarland and Miss Mary D. Alexander, of the University of Chicago Press, for careful editing of the manu­ script.

While there are 5 million residents in Scotland today, there are more than 15 million people of Scottish extraction scat- tered all over the world. Many of the displaced modern Scots celebrate their ancestry by wearing kilts, displaying tartans, and attending “Scottish Games” every summer.

  • The History of the Loch Sloy 1877 – 1899
    The History of the Loch Sloy 1877 – 1899 In the mid 1870’s the owners and share holders of Aitken, Lilburn and Co, were looking to expand their fleet of clippers. They had just finished the 1500 tonners Loch Vennachar and Loch Garry, but they were proving expensive with their unusual rigging and design features. The investors wanted a cheaper but no less capable version and approached David and William Henderson to fulfil their company’s needs. They wanted their new vessels to have the same level of luxury and safety as their premier liners, but not the expense of their construction. Thus James Lilburn and William Aitken placed an order for 2 nearly identical clippers in the 1200 ton range, the full rigged ships Loch Sloy and Loch Shiel. Other yards along the Clyde also produced 1200 ton clippers for the rapidly expanding Glasgow Shipping Company. The order was placed for the ships in late 1876 and the Loch Sloys’ keel was laid down soon after when space became available on one of the Henderson slipways. By August of 1877 the construction of the hull and deck fittings had been completed. After her first marine survey, the masts were stepped in and the rigging attached. By the end of October the Loch Sloy was all but complete. With her three masts towering high above the workers in the dry dock the final touches being applied to her interior preparations were made for her official launch. Lloyds marine surveyors conducted their second to last inspection of the hull and pronounced her 100 A1 and ready for launch.
