The Book of the Duff's Compiled by Alistair and Henrietta PREFACE As long ago as the year 1889 itwas pointed out, in the pages of the Genealogist, that there existed noproper history of the Duff family in ancient times. Again, in subsequent years, the present writers havefrequently been asked by members of this large and scatteredfamily to compile an account of 'the nineteenth century Duffs,'showing their connections with each other. It was determined to combine the twoobjects, and while providing a record of a long-lived and energetic family fromthe earliest days, to collect at the same time, from all possiblesources, printed and otherwise, interesting details of what may be called the 'medimval'and modern members, and to bring the history of thefamily and the genealogical tables thoroughly up to date. The present volume, therefore, aims atproviding a record, complete as far as possible, of those Scotsmen who havebornc, and now bear, the name of Duff, giving the legendary loreconnected with this family (even though some of it may be discreditedby modern historians), as well as a full personal history of those Duffs who have(listinguishcd themselves in any way (and brief mention of theothers), with their intermarria.ges and their Iflatrjmonjt1 connectjoiis withotlicr Iimilies. The only attempt previously madeat anything of the kind is the Memoirs of the Duffs, written about the:ycar 1770, by William Baird of Auchrncildc (whose wife was one of thedaughters of William Duff of Dipple), and privately printed in 1869 byMajor Lachian Gordon Duff of Drummuir.1 Several original manuscripts of this workexist. One, belonging to Gcncalogicat .lfe,izojy.ofthe Duffs. Printed for private circulation. ii. Aberdeen, 1869. Wyllie and Son, 1' V1TL PREFACE Miss Fyffe Duff of Corsindae, bears (late September24, 1772, which prc- suniably was the date of thecompletionof one portion, as some births and deaths, etc., connected with the families dealtwith, occurring in 1778, are recorded. William Baird himself died in 1775. Baird's original manuscripts contain frequent blanks fornames both of persons and of places, and there aremany inaccurate statements and conjectures, due doubtless to enforced relianceupon hearsay evidence, to the difficulty of communications, and theimpossibility at that period of verifying references and dates, or obtainingaccess to original documents. When we consider the expenditure of time andenergy involved, even now, in correspondence with outlying members of the family, and in research in public offices at home and abroad,we are filled with admiration for the courage and energy displayed, and thelarge amount of information collected by our forerunner,a hundred and forty years ago. For permission to make copious extracts from this chroniclewe are indebted to Thomas Cordon Duff, son of the original editor,among whose papers is also preserved a schedule of questions sent by William Baird to various members of the family, showing themeagre response he sometimes elicited. rrhe arrancment of the first few chapters of thepresent history explains itself, as it is purely chronological. After that, it has been found best to carry the elder line down to thepresent day, and then revert to the younger sons, in order. It is hoped that the fullgenealogical tables and the smaller key tables will make this plain. After tracing the descendants of John of Muldavit and hisson, Adam of Cluñybcg, in over twenty separate lines of descent,1 the later chapters dca.l with other branches of the Duff family (which it has been found impossible to correlate with the Muldavit stock), and with one or two other families with which the Duffs have intermarried sofrequently as to make some account necessary. Other sources, besides Baird, which have been found of great value,are the family trees preserved in various branches of thefamily, old family 1Thechart of these vi11 be found at end of Volume I.

Innumerable histories of other families, and historicaland genealogical collections of every sort have been laid undercontribution; wills, records of sasines, hornings, deeds and decreets,commissariat records, school chronicles, files of old newspapers, everything whichmight yield the smallest scrap of information, has been consulted, and the writers would further like to place on record their debt to thepersonal recollections and traditional information of several old friends inevery walk of life, some of whom have, unfortunately, not lived to see the appearance of the book. 'All which doth require Briareus his hundred hands, Argus his hundred eyes, And Nestor's century of years to marshal.'

  • The Later Posthumous Coinage of William the Lion
    SHORT ARTICLES AND NOTES 241 THE LATER POSTHUMOUS COINAGE OF WILLIAM THE LION IAN JONES AND KEITH SUGDEN Introduction ON 4 December 1214, at the age of seventy, William the Lion died at Stirling Castle, having been ill for some months. His son Alexander, a boy of sixteen, was inaugurated as King Alexander II of Scotland at Scone the following day, and only after a delay of a further four days was the old king buried at Arbroath. The haste to establish Alexander as king hints at the uncertainty in the succession: the principle of male primogeniture was still recent in Scotland, and William’s younger brother David, as well as the McWilliam family in the North, were potential rivals for the throne. It is all the more surprising, therefore, that coins in William’s name appear to have been issued for some twenty years after his death (though of course this parallels the situation in England, where neither Richard nor John felt the need to remove their father’s name from their coins). The Short Cross coinage issued by William the Lion commenced in 1195, and has been divided by Ian Stewart (Lord Stewartby) into five phases.1 In Stewart phase (a), coins identify- ing both moneyer and the mint of issue were struck by Hue at Edinburgh, by Walter at Perth and by Raul at Roxburgh. Phase (b) is a large series in the names of Hue, Walter, and Henri le Rus, but without mint names; at the end of phase (b) Hue is replaced by Adam. In phase (c), all struck at Roxburgh, Adam continued, but Walter is replaced by Peris, Aimer, and then Adam, the latter being joined in phases (d) and (e) (coins in the name of King Alexander II) by other moneyers.

  • Scottish Society at the Time of William Wallace
    46 Scottish Society at the time of William Wallace That the Scots were identified as separate people by the late tenth and early eleventh century can be seen from the chronicles of Durham which record their passage and both successful and failed attempts at conquest. I Whether they were independent or vassal kings was not a matter of major significance at the time. Some of them looked to England for support. Malcolm Canmore in 1072 was forced to submit to William the Conqueror at Abernethy. This did not stop him raiding southwards later. His son Edgar said in a charter that he was king "by the grant of my lord, William, king of the English and by paternal inheritance"2 and he bore a sword at William Rufus's coronation. Henry I took to wife a Scottish princess. Later kings of Scotland took English queens. The Scottish kings did homage to the English for English lands such as the earldom of Huntingdon, but then the English kings did homage to the French for some of the lands they held in France.3 More interesting perhaps is the question 'What was Scotland in Wallace's time?' It was an area which lacked the cultural homogeneity of Ireland or Wales. The Islands and the West Coast were part of the Scandinavian kingdom down to 1100, spoke Norse and used Odal law. The kingdom ruled by the descendants of Kenneth MacApline (died c.858) who called themselves kings of the Scots, which had held sway over Gaels and Picts in the west, had by Wallace's time spread to the south and east which was 'English' speaking.

    THE MYTHOLOGY, TRADITIONS and HISTORY OF MacDHUBHSITH ― MacDUFFIE CLAN (McAfie, McDuffie, MacFie, MacPhee, Duffy, etc.) VOLUME 2 THE LANDS OF OUR FATHERS PART 2 Earle Douglas MacPhee (1894 - 1982) M.M., M.A., M.Educ., LL.D., D.U.C., D.C.L. Emeritus Dean University of British Columbia This 2009 electronic edition Volume 2 is a scan of the 1975 Volume VII. Dr. MacPhee created Volume VII when he added supplemental data and errata to the original 1792 Volume II. This electronic edition has been amended for the errata noted by Dr. MacPhee. - i - THE LIVES OF OUR FATHERS PREFACE TO VOLUME II In Volume I the author has established the surnames of most of our Clan and has proposed the sources of the peculiar name by which our Gaelic compatriots defined us. In this examination we have examined alternate progenitors of the family. Any reader of Scottish history realizes that Highlanders like to move and like to set up small groups of people in which they can become heads of families or chieftains. This was true in Colonsay and there were almost a dozen areas in Scotland where the clansman and his children regard one of these as 'home'. The writer has tried to define the nature of these homes, and to study their growth. It will take some years to organize comparative material and we have indicated in Chapter III the areas which should require research. In Chapter IV the writer has prepared a list of possible chiefs of the clan over a thousand years. The books on our Clan give very little information on these chiefs but the writer has recorded some probable comments on his chiefship.

  • The Sinclair Macphersons
    Clan Macpherson, 1215 - 1550 How the Macphersons acquired their Clan Lands and Independence Reynold Macpherson, 20 January 2011 Not for sale, free download available from www.reynoldmacpherson.ac.nz Clan Macpherson, 1215 to 1550 How the Macphersons acquired their traditional Clan Lands and Independence Reynold Macpherson Introduction The Clan Macpherson Museum (see right) is in the village of Newtonmore, near Kingussie, capital of the old Highland district of Badenoch in Scotland. It presents the history of the Clan and houses many precious artifacts. The rebuilt Cluny Castle is nearby (see below), once the home of the chief. The front cover of this chapter is the view up the Spey Valley from the memorial near Newtonmore to the Macpherson‟s greatest chief; Col. Ewan Macpherson of Cluny of the ‟45. Clearly, the district of Badenoch has long been the home of the Macphersons. It was not always so. This chapter will make clear how Clan Macpherson acquired their traditional lands in Badenoch. It means explaining why Clan Macpherson emerged from the Old Clan Chattan, was both a founding member of the Chattan Confederation and yet regularly disputed Clan Macintosh‟s leadership, why the Chattan Confederation expanded and gradually disintegrated and how Clan Macpherson gained its property and governance rights. The next chapter will explain why the two groups played different roles leading up to the Battle of Culloden in 1746. The following chapter will identify the earliest confirmed ancestor in our family who moved to Portsoy on the Banff coast soon after the battle and, over the decades, either prospered or left in search of new opportunities.

The Council area is split into two distinct geographical types: the western part of the Council area is dominated by the Grampian mountain range and includes large areas of forest and moorland. The northern, eastern and southern parts of the Council area are somewhat less mountainous with large expanses of agricultural land, coastal grassland and a greater density of small towns. The population of the Aberdeenshire Council area is approximately 240,000 with largest urban populations residing in Peterhead, Fraserburgh, Inverurie, Stonehaven, Westhill and Ellon. A large proportion of the Aberdeenshire population is involved in the off-shore oil and gas industry. A significant proportion of the population are also involved in the traditional industries of farming, forestry and fishing with approximately one third of Scotland’s agricultural produce originating in the region. The industrial and commercial areas are primarily located in the east of the Council area around Aberdeen, Stonehaven, Peterhead and Fraserburgh.

  • The Private and Public Religion of David II of Scotland, 1329-71
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Stirling Online Research Repository Christian Days and Knights: The Religious Devotions and Court of 1 David II of Scotland, 1329-71. Michael Penman Abstract This article surveys the development of the religious devotions and court life of David II of Scotland (1329- 71). Using contemporary government and chronicle sources it discusses David’s favour to a wide range of chivalric and pious causes, many with special personal resonance for the second Bruce king. This patronage attracted widespread support for his kingship after 1357. However, such interests also had political motivation for David, namely his agenda of securing a peace deal with Edward III of England and overawing his Scottish magnate opponents. His political circumstances meant that his legacy of chivalric and religious patronage were obscured after his early death. Accepted for publication in Historical Research by Wiley-Blackwell. Edward III (1327-77) was celebrated by late medieval writers as a king in the biblical style: as an exemplar of Christian virtue, a warrior and generous patron of the church, founder of several royal chapels and of the knights’ Order of St George. Similarly, Philip VI of France (1328-50) received praise for the time and energy he dedicated to attempting to organise a Pan-European crusade to recover the Holy Land, attracting hundreds of European knights, Counts, Princes and lesser kings to his realm in the 1330s. Meanwhile, Robert I of Scotland (1306-29)

The settlement is characterised by the woodland setting of Balmedie House and the long sand beaches of Balmedie Country Park. Balmedie is a key settlement in both the Energetica area and the Aberdeen to Peterhead strategic growth area (SGA). As such, Balmedie will play an important role in delivering strategic housing and employment allowances. In line with the vision of Energetica, it is expected that new development in Balmedie will contribute to transforming the area into a high quality lifestyle, leisure and global business location. Balmedie is expected to become an increasingly attractive location for development as the Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route reaches completion and decreases commuting times to Aberdeen. It is important that the individual character of the village is retained in the face of increased demand. The village currently has a range of services and facilities, which should be sustained during the period of this plan. In addition, the plan will seek to improve community facilities, including new health care provision.

Adams Committee Members, Adam Seipp James Hannah Head of Department, David Vaught December 2011 Major Subject: History iii ABSTRACT “Trafalgar Refought”: The Professional and Cultural Memory of Horatio Nelson During Britain’s Navalist Era, 1880-1914. (December 2011) Bradley M. Cesario, B.A., University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. R.J.Q. Adams Horatio Lord Nelson, Britain’s most famous naval figure, revolutionized what victory meant to the British Royal Navy and the British populace at the turn of the nineteenth century. But his legacy continued after his death in 1805, and a century after his untimely passing Nelson meant as much or more to Britain than he did during his lifetime. This thesis utilizes primary sources from the British Royal Navy and the general British public to explore what the cultural memory of Horatio Nelson’s life and achievements meant to Britain throughout the Edwardian era and to the dawn of the First World War.
