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. I need to research Henry Co. VA to see if his name exists in the pre-1790 records there. It is assumed that his widow was the Mary Grogan, neighbor to the other Grogans and that he is the father of Henry Grogan and Bartholomew Grogan who moves to Spartanburg SC, and possibly a Thomas Grogan. Also assumed is his relationship to Bartholomew Grogan, who purchased land in 1760 in Rowan Co. NC. Nothing is positive, but I have arranged the members in this family as best I could based on whatever records I could find. In 1790 census in Rockingham Co. NC: p. 527 is Henry Grogan, 2 males over 16, 3 males under 16, 6 females. He is living near John Allen, Peter Terry, Herring, Brown, on same page as John Hunter. Henry Grogan patented land in 1780 on Matrimony Creek. p. 531 is Francis Grogan, 3 males over 16. Next to him is Bartholomew Grogan over 16, with three males under 16, and 3 females. They are living near Pratts and Smith and Isaac Whitworth. The Grogans are living in the area of Paw Paw Creek off the Mayo River in the north western part of the county, on land that Bartholomew Grogan purchased in 1783. Further away on the same page is a Thomas Grogan, with one male over 16, one male under 16, and 2 females. Separated by one household is a Mary Grogan with two females(no age given for females) and two males under 16. The assumption is that Mary is the widow of this Thomas David Grogan (of which we have no record, except passed down tradition). This group is living near Winkfield Shropshire and Drury Smith, Richard Vernon, George and Peter Hunter, which would be closer to the Petersburgh Rd. it seems. p. 536 is Winkfield Shropshire, 2 males over 16, 2 males under 16, 1 female. Next to him is St. John Shropshire, 1 male over 16, 4 males under 16, 4 females. They are on the same page as James Hunter, James Scales, a John Hill and Elizabeth Hill. This area seems to be south of Wentworth, and the Hills are from the other William Hill family who patented land in 1763 south of Generation 2 (con't) Wentworth, and the Hills are from the other William Hill family who patented land in 1763 south of Wentworth. In 1800 census there is Henry Grogan, over 45, therefore born before 1755, and Mary Grogan, also over 45 on page 4/48 of the census. Also a Rich C. Grogan bet. 26 and 44, and a Thomas Grogan also 26 to 44 on page 19/48. On page 20/48 is Barthel Grogan over 45, and Bartho Jr., Daniel, and Francis, all 26 to 44. On page 20/20 is Thomas, and Thomas Jr. Grogan, both ages 22 to 44. Jr. does not indicate the son necessarily, it often just means younger than the other one. In Spartenburg South Carolina, in 1800 is a Bartholomew Grogan, born before 1755, along with a John Grogan age 16 to 25. It appears he is the son of this Thomas David Grogan. Thomas David Grogan and Mary had the following children: 4. i. HENRY3 GROGAN was born in 1748 in Ireland. He died in 1827 in Rockingham Co., N.C.. He married EDWARDS. She died before 1827. 5. ii. BARTHOLOMEW GROGAN was born in 1750 in Ireland. He died in 1820 in Spartanburg, South Carolina. He married MARY SHAVER. iii. THOMAS GROGAN was born in 1765 in Ireland. Notes for Thomas Grogan: I have seen this person listed as being Thomas David Grogan, born Jan. 10, 1769 in VA, died 1847 in DeKalb Co. GA. This seems awfully late to be a child of the Thomas David Sr. 3. BARTHOLOMEW2 GROGAN (1) 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. Notes for Bartholomew Grogan: Mary Helen Haines notes: According to Grogan descendants, two brothers came to America from Kings County (today called Offaly County), Ireland probably in the 1750s. The brothers are Thomas David and Bartholomew Grogan. Thomas David is believed to have been born around 1727 and Bartholomew around 1730. Some believe they landed in Pennsylvania and made their way south. The first documented record in North Carolina is for Bartholomew Grogan when he purchased a 384 acre Lord Granville land grant in 1760 on Buffalo Island Creek on the north side of the Dan River for ten shillings sterling. (Rowan Co. NC Deed Book 5, p. 74.) Then in 1764, Bartholomew and his wife Lurina sold 186 acres of this land to John Simons. (Book 5, p. 538) In the Rowan County Minute Book 3, p. 158, Bartholomew Grogan is appointed the overseer of the road from Grassey (sic) Spring to Orange (County) Line in 1769. There are no other records of any other Grogans in Rowan County at this time. The land in this area of North Carolina was all a part of the proprietary grant made to George Carteret, Lord Granville by the Crown of England, who established a land office and sold parcels of it in the early years. The earliest record of a Hill in the area of the Dan River, is the purchase of 160 acres by William Hill on Rock House Creek from James Sims in 1763 (Rowan Co. Deed Book 5, p. 355). Rock House Creek is south of the Dan River, and empties into it. This does not seem to be the William Hill who patents land around Buffalo Island Creek and is the family of our Thomas Hill, born 1759, living near the Bridges and Shropshires. Since our Thomas Hill was born in 1759, and he is not the son of William, but a Grogan father, he most likely is the son of Bartholomew. However, if it can be shown that Bartholomew's brother is indeed a man named Thomas David, born about the same time as Bartholomew, but died before 1790, then it is possible for him to be the father. There are no deed records to suggest his Generation 2 (con't) 1790, then it is possible for him to be the father. There are no deed records to suggest his presence, only a widow named Mary Grogan who appears in the 1790 census with 2 males under 16. One house away is a Thomas Grogan, one male over 16 (her son?), and living near Winkfield Shropshire (father of Catherine Shropshire--wife of Thomas Hill, my ancestor). Another relation also appears in the early years in this area: William Bridges. In 1755, Robert Jones sold to Wm. Bridges two plots of land, one is 190 acres on the north side of the Dan River, and the other is 100 acres on both sides of the Dan River. (Rowan Co. Deed Book 2, pp. 39-40) It is likely that William Bridges is the father of Hannah Bridges, mother of Thomas Hill and wife of William Hill. When Lord Granville died, the land office closed in 1763, so no new land grants were made in the years before the American Revolution. That does not mean that the land was uninhabited, however. Enough people had moved into the territory that demands for a county seat closer to their place of residence led to the creation of Guilford County in 1771. The county seat became what is today Greensboro. According to family researchers, Bartholomew and his wife Lurenia (Lurina) came from the same county in Ireland, probably married there, and began having children around 1750. If the researchers are correct the children are: (1) Eleanor "Nellie" Grogan born about 1750, later married to Drury Smith (2) John Grogan born about 1752, married Ann Nancy Edwards (3) Lurenia Grogan born about 1754, married Benjamin Smith (4) Samuel Grogan born about 1760 (5) Thomas Grogan born Sept.

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.

Constructed by the British following the capitulation of Fort Niagara, Fort George is of national historic significance because it served as the Headquarters of the Central Division of the British Army, and played a crucial role in the defence of Upper Canada during the War of 1812. Archaeological investigations in the last 50 years have shed light on the fort’s early structures and modifications. In 2009, funding allocated through the Federal Economic Action Plan provided an opportunity to further explore the fort’s historic transformation.

  • Manuscript Collection in the Toronto Public Libraries
    GUIDE TO THE MANUSCRIPT COLLECTION IN THE TORONTO PUBLIC LIBRARIES TORONTO PUBLIC LIBRARIES 1954 GUIDE TO THE MANUSCRIPT COLLECTION IN THE TORONTO PUBLIC LIBRARIES TORONTO PUBLIC LIBRARIES 1954 PRINTED IN CANAllA THORN PRESS, TORONTO PREFATORY NOTE The manuscript collection of the Toronto Public Libra~ies consists mainly of Canadian, and more particularly of Upper CanadIan historical manuscripts, with a few British and American items. There are several large sets of personal papers and many single pieces, in­ cluding diaries, account-books, letter-books, and single documents. The collection has grown steadily since it was begun in 1886 with the purchase by Dr. James Bain, historian, collector, and first librarian, of the manuscript, An account of the Seven Years' War, 1757-1759. About the turn of the century half a dozen large sets were given to the library by Toronto families whose members have been outstanding in the early history of the country. Through the years the collection has been en­ riched by the gifts of generous and history-minded benefactors, and by purchase. In the more recent acquisitions there is greater emphasis on business history, and on regions farther afield from Toronto. A Preliminary guide to the manuscripts was published in 1940. It was intended to be no more than a rough guide to be used until sufficient work on the material warranted the publication of a definitive catalogue. Now, fourteen years later, it is again necessary to apologize for the long uncalendared sets, the unidentified or undated single pieces. The work goes steadily on, but if the public are to know and use the large number of acquisitions since 1940, another preliminary guide is needed.
