Descendants of Grogan
Descendants of Grogan Generation 1 1. GROGAN . Notes for Grogan: Mary Helen Haines notes: Some researchers have mentioned they think that there is a connection to the Croghan family. There was a William Croghan on the Rev. War Rolls, and a George Croghan in Augusta County at Pittsburg in 1775, but I don't think they are related. Back in Ireland, while the Grogans and the Croghans were of the same line originally, they were using different spellings there as well. Thomas Hill, born in 1759 in Rowan Co. NC is a DNA Grogan. Therefore his father is either Thomas David Grogan or Bartholomew Grogan. The DNA of multiple descendants of Thomas Hill matches very closely the DNA of a descendant of Thomas David Grogan, through his son Henry Grogan. Grogan had the following children: 2. i. THOMAS DAVID2 GROGAN was born in 1727 in Kings Co., Ireland. He died before 1790 in Rockingham Co., N.C.. He married MARY. She was born in 1712 in Ireland. She died between 1800-1810 in Rockingham Co., N.C.. 3. ii. BARTHOLOMEW GROGAN was born about 1730 in Kings Co., Ireland. He died about 1817 in Rockingham Co., N.C.. He married LURENIA SMITH about 1749. She was born about 1730. She died after 1820. Generation 2 2. THOMAS DAVID2 GROGAN (1) was born in 1727 in Kings Co., Ireland. He died before 1790 in Rockingham Co., N.C.. He married MARY. She was born in 1712 in Ireland. She died between 1800-1810 in Rockingham Co., N.C.. Notes for Thomas David Grogan: Mary Helen Haines notes: So far, there has been no record that I have seen naming this "Thomas David" Grogan.

Monuments and Memories in Ontario, 1850-2001
FORGING ICONOGRAPHIES AND CASTING COLONIALISM: MONUMENTS AND MEMORIES IN ONTARIO, 1850-2001 By Brittney Anne Bos A thesis submitted to the Department of History In conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada (September 2016) Copyright ©Brittney Anne Bos, 2016 ii Abstract Commemorations are a critical window for exploring the social, political, and cultural trends of a specific time period. Over the past two centuries, the commemorative landscape of Ontario reaffirmed the inclusion/exclusion of particular racial groups. Intended as static markers to the past, monuments in particular visually demonstrated the boundaries of a community and acted as ongoing memorials to existing social structures. Using a specific type of iconography and visual language, the creators of monuments imbued the physical markers of stone and bronze with racialized meanings. As builders were connected with their own time periods and social contexts, the ideas behind these commemorations shifted. Nonetheless, creators were intent on producing a memorial that educated present and future generations on the boundaries of their “imagined communities.” This dissertation considers the carefully chosen iconographies of Ontario’s monuments and how visual symbolism was attached to historical memory. Through the examination of five case studies, this dissertation examines the shifting commemorative landscape of Ontario and how memorials were used to mark the boundaries of communities. By integrating the visual analysis of monuments and related images, it bridges a methodological and theoretical gap between history and art history. This dissertation opens an important dialogue between these fields of study and demonstrates how monuments themselves are critical “documents” of the past.

Bishop's Gambit: the Transatlantic Brokering of Father Alexander
Bishop’s Gambit: The Transatlantic Brokering of Father Alexander Macdonell by Eben Prevec B.A., The University of British Columbia, 2018 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (History) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) July 2020 © Eben Prevec, 2020 The following individuals certify that they have read, and recommend to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies for acceptance, the thesis entitled: Bishop’s Gambit: The Transatlantic Brokering of Father Alexander Macdonell submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements by Eben Prevec for the degree of Master of Arts in History Examining Committee: Dr. Michel Ducharme, Associate Professor, Department of History, UBC Supervisor Dr. Bradley Miller, Associate Professor, Department of History, UBC Supervisory Committee Member Dr. Tina Loo, Professor, Department of History, UBC Additional Examiner i Abstract This thesis examines the transatlantic life and journey of Father Alexander Macdonell within the context of his role as a broker in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. While serving as a leader for the Glengarry Highlanders throughout the British Isles and Upper Canada, Macdonell acted as a middleman, often brokering negotiations between his fellow Highlanders and the British and Upper Canadian governments. This relationship saw Macdonell and the Glengarry Highlanders travel to Glasgow, Guernsey, and Ireland, working as both manufacturers and soldiers before they eventually settled in Glengarry County, Upper Canada. Once established in Upper Canada, Macdonell continued to act as a broker, which notably led to the participation of the Glengarry Highlanders in the colony’s defence during the War of 1812.

The Battle at Queenston Heights‐1812 a National Historic Site Commemorates a Battle Fought on October 13, 1812 Overlooking the Niagara Escarpment at Queenston Heights
The Battle at Queenston Heights‐1812 A National Historic Site commemorates a battle fought on October 13, 1812 overlooking the Niagara Escarpment at Queenston Heights. Today, there is park commemorating a British victory in turning back the first American attack on the Niagara front. More detailed information regarding the battle and other information can be found on http://www.historyofwar.org/articles/battles_queenston_heights.html and https://www.thoughtco.com/war‐of‐1812‐ battle‐queenston‐heights‐2361372. The battle took place not far from Niagara‐on‐the‐Lake. It involved Major General Isaac Brock, British Commander in Upper Canada (today Ontario). Brock and his aide‐de‐ camp, Lieutenant Colonel John Macdonnell fought at Queenston. Brock and Macdonnell were killed during the Queenston Heights battle. A monument was erected to commemorate Brock’s efforts. Ultimately, the British and the Mohawk Indians surprised the Americans who surrendered within fifteen minutes. Both Brock and Macdonnell’s remains are under the monument. It is higher than the Nelson monument in London. Quote from “Brock: The Legend” at the monument: “Brock’s death at Queenston has become one of the most memorialized in Canadian history. Brock became a bold target for American marksmen and provided the sort of heroic death which has been the inspiration of legends and songs. In truth Major General Isaac Brock was a dedicated military man who was often discouraged by his posting in Canada and who longed for an assignment on the battlefields of Europe. Yet grateful Upper Canadians raised this monument to him which is as grand as any other memorial in Canada.

RECORDS of NIAGARA 1805-1811 the Sudden
RECORDS OF NIAGARA 1805-1811 The sudden death of Lieut.-Governor Hunter at Quebec on 21st August, 1805, left the Government of Upper Canada without a Chief as he had steadily refused to nominate an administration during his absence in the Lower Province. News of his death was received at York about ten days later. When Simcoe applied for leave of absence on the 1st of December, 1795, he had recommended Hon. Peter Russell as the "Senior Executive Counsellor. (not a Roman Catholic)" for appointment as Administrator and his recommendation had been approved. He called the Members of the Council residing at York together at once, expecting to be recognized as President but to his great surprise and disappointment found that Chief Justice Allcock announced his opinion that Alexander Grant, whose name preceded that of Russell in the list of Executive Councillors named in the Royal Instructions was the Senior, although Russell had taken the oath before him. The other Members of the Council concurred and Russell reluctantly assented but did not conceal his discontent at being required to act in a subordinate position to that which he had formerly held. As Grant was then Senior Naval Officer on Lake Erie and lived at Amherstburg, a message was sent to him to come to York and administer the affairs of the Province. When Hunter's death became known in England, little time was lost in appointing Francis Gore, then Governor of Bermuda, to succeed him as Lieutenant Governor of Upper Canada. His commission was dated on the 22nd of January, but he did not assume the administration until the 25th of August, following.

Weaver Volume 13, Number 2, October 1984 Article abstract This article is both an empirical inquiry and a theoretical declaration. It URI: https://id.erudit.org/iderudit/1018120ar stresses, in opposition to a view of urban history that presents fairly distinct DOI: https://doi.org/10.7202/1018120ar periods, that there are very important elements of continuity. Indeed, continuity may be the essence of the urban experience in Canada, especially See table of contents across the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The layout of the city, the vital promotional actions of the civic elite, a concentration of wealth, and the spatial expression of economic and social traits all have deep roots — extending to the Publisher(s) earliest decades in the case of Hamilton, which is the site for this study. In terms of source materials, this article employs an 1839 assessment Urban History Review / Revue d'histoire urbaine manuscript, but warns that such material can be abused or misunderstood. Indeed, it raises questions about American studies that have attempted ISSN comparisons of concentrations of property wealth over time. The article argues that a vital ingredient of wealth and power was and is the intangible factor of 0703-0428 (print) access to credit. That access is a feature of metropolitanism, an historiographic 1918-5138 (digital) theme which too indicates continuity in the history of urban Canada.
