In presenting a record of the Craig farnilie~ of Goulbourn and Xorth Cower, thanks are due to so many that space does not permit of mention of all. In adcliti,m to the members of my immediate family, whose encouragement and assi,tance ha\·e been inexpressibly helpful, I \\·ish to acknowledge particu1arly my debt to the following who have giyen time and effort with unfailing kindness, as \rell as those whose names are specifically mentioned throughout the volume; Horace .'I..

If the information presented should be found inaccurate or if the style of presentation appears awkward, these contributors should not be held responsible. The data ha\·e been difficult to obtain and often impossible to Yerify; the faults of composition are my own. If reader:-.: will be so good as to use the form, (enclosed in dupli­ cate \vith the \\·ork,) to ach·ise me of corrections in the record. or criticism oi the narrati\·e, 1 shall be exceedingly grateful. \Vhile the chief object throughout the volume has been to record facts, I have also endeavoured to refrain from direct eulogy, in a personal work of this nature, but rather to express such through the medium of fact. As there must be a large store of interesting items connected with the various families, hitherto impossible to obtain, I should be especially pleased to have further information regarding the ancestral or contemporary members, whether by way of record or tradition. A fact may be commonplace in Rouleau but unknown in North Gower; an anecdote may be trivial in itself but illustrative of a period forever past. Should it be possible to issue a supplementary edi­ tion at some future date, such contributions would acid immeasurably to the value and interest of the work.

Slowly her graceful sails unrolled, \Vith wistful colonists, young and old, .-\.nd stores of corn and \\·ine in hold. :\ gilded treasure was not the quest Of these who braved Atlantic's crest, :\s the "Richardson" journeyed out into the west. "Give us a home in the wild\\·ood deep," They sang, "\ \"ith lands where from we'll reap "Fair han-ests,-\\ ith o:-;:en and cattle and sheep.'' Three families left the clear "ould sod" That day, with simple faith in God, To hew out homes in forests broad. And other members hade adieu To Ireland's Emerald Island true, At later dates to cross the blue. From Cavan to Carleton's forests that swav, To Red Stone's plains and hills of Grey, · At different times they made their ,say. Almost a centurv of vears Has passed sine~ thc{se brave pioneers Set forth 'mid varied hopes and fears. \\'here they first settled, lived and died, \Vhere their descendants now reside, And other facts you'll find inside. Fragments of History and Family Trees, Sheaves from the Scythe of Time are these; Tales since our Ancestors crossed the Seas. 11 PART ONE The Origin of the Name with a Brief Account of the Older Members in Ireland. THE ORIGIN OF THE NAME. The surname "Craig" (a) comes from the old Gaelic word "creag," -a crag, rock or steep cliff-a word often forming a part of the names of places in hilly or mountainous districts in yarious parts of Scotland, as for example, Craigellachie or .\iba Craig. The \\'ebh for111 uf the \1urd is "craig," and as the \\'elsh once in­ habited parts of Southern ~cutland, it is possible that the surname came originally fru111 the ( ;aelic, through the \\'elsh. The,;e forms are quite distinct from those of an allied word of similar import, Gaelic,-"carraig," \\"elsh,-"carreg," the former of which is the source of the place-name and the surname,-•'Carrick." .\lthough ''Craig" is derin,cl from the Caelic, those who first bore the name were Lo1\·land ~coltish. There 1ras no clan or sept of Craig and it appears that various families received the surname from associa­ tion 1rith those hilly localities inhabited by them called in whole or in part "craig." Thu,;, it may be e1·ident that the name, "John of the crag" could evolve through years of usage into "John Craig." It is also probable that, as there 11·ere many of these rocky districts through­ out Scotland, the various families bearing the name would in many cases be quite unconnected with each other. There are Craig-s 11011· in all parts of Scotland but they are more numerous in the northern and eastern portions of the country. Allied forms of the surname are Craigg. Cragg, Craik, Craigie, Gregg and Greig. (a) Courtesy of Proiessor Sir \V. A. Craigie of Chicago l~nivcrsity. 15 ANCESTR._AL TRADITIONS. The first ancestors of the family, recorded by tradition, \1·ere two brothers named Craig, (given names unknown) who left Scotland for Ireland between 1700 and 1750. If their migration \\"as due to the re­ bellion of 1715 or 17-+5, there is no tradition tu that effect. In moving from Scotland to I re land, it is probable that the two Lrothers were not going among strangers. .\ccording to \rright's His­ tory of Ireland, there was a Craig in Londonderry Lefore the siege of 1690. The settlement of Ireland by the English comnH:nced under ~ueen 11ary and was carried on under Queen Elizabeth, when Scots \1·ere introduced as \1·ell, and large trach of land 11·ere clearl'd for occupation by immigrant, from Scotland and England. The settlement 1vas con­ tinuous for O\·er a century, Oliwr Cronrn·ell being less active in the movement than his successors. ( b 1. Some of the previous immigrants, therefore, must have been known or related tc, the t11·0 brothers. They both settled first in County Fermanagh hut sometime later. about 1760, one of them remO\ed with hi, 11·iil' and t11·0 child·ren to the adjoining County Cavan. The children's name, 11·ere Thomas and Elizabeth. Thomas is the first of wlzo111 ther<' is a11y authentic raord and is the subject of further ol>srr~·atimzs 011 a11othcr page. On the map-sketch, in County Fermanagh, ,,·ill be obserwd the hamlet, Hall Craig, which, as far as any connection it may have had with the family, is now only a matter of ,;urmise hut its name and location are at least interesting. ELIZABETH CHA.IC married John :-.Ic:-.[ullen 1\·ho altered his name to Mullen, owing- to the belief current among Protestants that the prefix indicated a taint of J~oman Catholicism. ( The Boyne had been fought only in 1()90 and was more in the minds of men in 17()0 than it is in 1929.) There is still an affectionate tradition of "Aunt Betty Mullen." Two relatives of Thomas Craig and Elizabeth Mullen appear to have lived in Cavan,-JOHN and CHARLIE CRAIG. The latter confessed to being an atheist and was once in imminent clanger of drowning, when the ice gave way while he was crossing a small lake in winter. His cries for help brought his wife, Alice, who threv.- him the end of a blanket and pulled him to safety. Some clays afterwards, when dis- (h) Courtesy of Dr. G. F. Black of ):ew York PuhEc Library, 16 THE CRAIGS OF GOULBOURN AND NORTH GOWER cussing his rescue, he \\"as asked by a friend, ":'.\ ow, Charlie, \\·on't you believe in God and that It was He \\.ho sand you from drowning?" "Oh! No," he replied, '' It wasn't God at all; it was Allie and the blanket that saved me." One wonders if he were as brave \\·hen he was in the water. THOMAS*, Elizabeth's brother, married but his wife's name is now unknown.

ISSN 1364-9809 http://eprints.gla.ac.uk/37849/ Deposited on: 02 April 2012 Enlighten – Research publications by members of the University of Glasgow http://eprints.gla.ac.uk EdinLR Vol 8 pp 298-328 The Early Career of Thomas Craig, Advocate John Finlay* Analysis of the clients of the advocate and jurist Thomas Craig of Riccarton in a formative period of his practice as an advocate can be valuable in demonstrating the dynamics of a career that was to be noteworthy not only in Scottish but in international terms. However, it raises the question of whether Craig’s undoubted reputation as a writer has led to a misleading assessment of his prominence as an advocate in the legal profession of his day. A. INTRODUCTION Thomas Craig (c 1538–1608) is best known to posterity as the author of Jus Feudale and as a commissioner appointed by James VI in 1604 to discuss the possi- bility of a union of laws between England and Scotland.1 Following from the latter enterprise, he was the author of De Hominio (published in 1695 as Scotland”s * Lecturer in Law, University of Glasgow. The research required to complete this article was made possible by an award under the research leave scheme of the Arts and Humanities Research Board and the author is very grateful for this support. He also wishes to thank Dr Sharon Adams, Mr John H Ballantyne, Dr Julian Goodare and Mr W D H Sellar for comments on drafts of this article, the anonymous reviewer for the Edinburgh Law Review, and also the members of the Scottish Legal History Group to whom an early version of this paper was presented in October 2003.

  • The Limits of Social Mobility: Social Origins and Career Patterns of British Generals, 1688-1815
    The London School of Economics and Political Science The Limits of Social Mobility: social origins and career patterns of British generals, 1688-1815 Andrew B. Wood A thesis submitted to the Department of Economic History of the London School of Economics for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, November, 2011 1 Declaration I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others (in which case the extent of any work carried out jointly by me and any other person is clearly identified in it). The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without the prior written consent of the author. I warrant that this authorization does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of 88,820 words. 2 Abstract Late eighteenth-century Britain was dominated by two features of economic life that were a major departure from previous eras, the economic growth of the Industrial Revolution and almost constant warfare conducted on a previously unprecedented scale. One consequence of this was the rapid expansion, diversification and development of the professions. Sociologists and economists have often argued that economic development and modernisation leads to increasing rates of social mobility. However, historians of the army and professions in the eighteenth-century claim the upper levels of the army were usually isolated from mobility as the highest ranks were dominated by sons of the aristocracy and landed elite.
