Foreword ·--.... \ Tnis compil ..., ~ ~~- ;: f 1 There are cert&in marked abilities and charaoteristics.which have appeared in many of the Ralston families. Not all of ua possess them, . but in those who do, these traits are f4uite definite, and 1t can be said of these persona nthey are RalstonsfM One trait is a remarkable capability with their hands, and deftness of fingers, no matter what their work. It is an old saying that • a Ralston can do anything with his hands.d This ability might be illustrated by this story: a young woman, an acquaintance of a •Ralston" who possessed this trait, accepted a position in a large concern in a distant cit1 where, he told her, a rel~tive ot his happened ··to be employed. No mention was made of the relative's name, nor of the department or capacity in which she worked. One day the supervisor o! one of the departments was surprised by a young woman asking her 'Are you a relative of Mso-and-so~ (mentioning the •Ralston•s~name)? dWhy, yes,n replied the supervisor, "but how did you know?• 1 ! knew you,• the young ,:l;~~oma.n,_::;:e:;~· ~!~e!!~ ota~~j~Hl~\h!0~!ttt~! 8t~l~i!a!~~.!~~~·:iited'<~ttli···. ! a.rtist1o ability, manifested. in various fields, some to a professional degree, and' many although they do not have .creative ability, nevertheless . have a definite appreciation, or artistic sense. ·. This is true also of ·.~sical ability, which appears in quite a number of the families. there were rugged old Scottish character1st1os in the older genera _tiona, and a semblance of these is still noticeable, even with some who are not robust but have a remarkable wiriness, endurance and physical re ·'·aerve. 'l'he, old family saying of •you ca.n•t kill a Ralston• has seemed true many times when members have·recuperated from almos-t hopeless ill nesses. And one still sees the resolute determination to keep active ·and well. and the personal confidence that "there is nothing wrong with , ,me.' . " . ' John Ralston at 83 ( in 1888) is remembered by one of his grand daughters as etill active, and that he thought nothing of walking from his home in Berv1e,Ontar1o to Kinca.rdine,seven miles distant, to visit one of his children, and then on three miles farther to Stoney Island ~o his :daugnter Jane's. If offered a ride,-he would decline, saying he 1ras in .& hurry! , . · Another story illustrating this old :ruggedness, is told ot one ot 'he older Ra.lstons. After being plagued by a tooth-ache, he was finally ·.~:-~erauad~ to go to. tn,~ de_ntist.,.; ·W~el':l.ll~._.r.e~urn,ed,J;on,ae, ~~,.4~~cov~r~~··t•:,; J·'/• ·~> '"~~bat';~he' dentist, bad pulled· the' wrong ··tooth.· ., ·y·nruria'ted; be seised a. ,... ,f~fir/,'f,y. · pair of pliers. and pulled the tooth himself! Unfortunately, be used such force tna.t· he.broke off still another tooth! ··~· Have we lost· something ot that rugged qua.li ty. in th1 s age of pa.in- k1llers·and ••tre.nquilizera~•? Perha.ps in tll1s one way, beoauae our modern ~ayot lite does not demand it, in this particular way. But each genera .'&1on has shown its own strength, a.nd in many ways has improved. · f There is. another qual1 ty that still appears in some o! ua, in every gonera.t1on. we won't aa.y it is a Ralston trait - perhaps it ia ·just & manifestation ot some of that good old Sooteh Mdeterm1nation~. This c<:~.n be a good quality in some ways, but at times it makea ua difficult for others who ltJIJ.Y have different views. We won't call ii • atubbornneaa", ·but if we think eometning, we pretty much &dhere to that ideal We hope, bowever, not to the extent of one old Scotchman ( not a Ralston in tnia •Oase), who could not be persuaded that he was mistaken about a certain regulation. Even when confronted with tho book of ruloa and regulations, ne declared there was a mistake in the printing! ::: there ia u.n old family atory of a Ra,laton who •oouldna ta.ce hie , .. · friendad because one of the family married aomeone of Irish ancestry, a and of another who told of how on the Sabbath, he would w~lk with his wife to her churo.tl, leu.ve her there. and go on to the nhooae ot God"...... "~" I wish I could include in this record something about the life and attainments of all of the members ot the Ralston family; but this wo~ld be impossible, for my personal knowledge and acquaintance ot many of the fami- ly branches is limited. · To consider the ayerage, one would most certainly find, for the moet part, u. staunch and energetic and industtious family in the·Ralatons,whoae successes and &~abi tions 1fould compare most favorably with those of the average family of similar stock and bae.kground,-a family of considerable · ambi t1on, ability n.nd talent...... -. . .• • • • • .1 .• .• .• • • .• .• There is little of the origin and early history of t.ne Ralston name . ~t~!·•bat we can .. be, certain of, ·d.ue to the laok ot available •"erial, 'and tbe .,~l{#·' Confliction of information in the references that have been consulted. The sources of information differ considerably. One reference, - Craw ford, aaya that "Ralph, a younger son of Mac~xff,Tnane of Fife,obtained a grant of land in Renfrewshire (Scotland), and called it Ralphstown,thus originating the name • 11 Douglas, in his "Peerage 11 begins the line of the .Thanes or Earls of Fi.te witll MacDuff, wnom be also styles 11 Thane of Fife• • .John de rordun, who flourished in the latter half of the 14th. century, seems to 'be the first to create llaoDuf:f 11 T.tw.ne and Earl of fife", his. etory later·. er.a.bellisheci by Wygtoun, Boece and Buchanan. _ Scotland's past is steeped in traditions, Which sometimes cloud the actual facts of history. Shakespeare's classic "Yaobeth" is based on legendary .material from Boeoe. here ~cDuff, Thane of F1te,opposee Macbeth a.nd assists ilalcolm to the throne - a a legend apparently discredited by later historians (Ohalmflrs,Skene}M, says Paul in his •scots• Peerage•o Black 1n '*SUrnames of Scotland• asserts that MacDuff was not a surname a.t the tiw.e of lliiloolm' s reign, and aocordin~~ to Skene, a.ny record of the earls of Fife of the family of WacDuff did not appear until much later, when Edelred ( or Ethelred), 1st. Earl of Fife, describes himself ( in the latter part of the llth.century) as lfson of Malcolm Oanmore,king of Soot land; Abbot o:f Dunkeld; Earl o! Fyf". Thus, if tlle Ralston name did originate through aome connection with -~,.',the MaCDI.tfts •.:tit:::ia ·an:~. .,b,scure connection, and could.on~y be.:i:l'eferred.~o · as a 11 tradi t1ontt. .. · · ·· \ ·. , · .· · At any rate, the name of Ralston first appears in Renfrewshire,Scot land, from the lands or Barony of Raieton, near Paisley. The Ralstons-of that-Ilk are mentioned in charters aa far back as 1272,1346. Early in the - 15th.oentury John de Ralston or Ralphstown was Lord High Treasurer and Bishop of Dunkeld. . c. Burke's peerage shows only one coat-of-arms used by the early Ra.lstons, and is described: ''Arms: (argent) on a bend (azure), three ec.ore in the seed (or) Crest: A falcon (ppr) f "'~"-..

Bear Kilsyth (Bt1r l1ngeh1re), where many SOots were killed in the defeat of the Covenanters in 1845, there were Ralstons among the slain. With the information at hand at present, it would be impossible to state from which branch our family of Ra.lstons is descended. Since Paisley is close geogrii.phica.lly to the parishes where our first known &A.rncestors lived, it seems po&:&ible that our descent might have been from the Paisley branch; however, this certainly could not be stated as a fact. · Prior to 1855, the records that were kept in Scotland of births and marriages, were kept in each parish under the administration of the estab lished church. These records are now in the custody ot the Registrar Gen eral in the Register House, Edinburgh. Th(~re are some 1000 parishes re presented in these records, so unless one knows 1n what parish the family lived, a search is almost impossible. """· . The. earliest Ralston listed in a.

Their search of the records of Iirk1nt1llocn ud ne'-gh oor1ng par1anes :na.a established for us tne record of two generations pre vious to this James Ralston. Tbe Society wa.s unable to traoe the line any ·. farther back, due to lack of extant records.

Since John and ldargaret Ral.s-. ton were married in the shire of Lanark in Bcotla.u·, it seems possible th¢1t they might have lived in t.hu.t shire or county when their first two children were born; and since later generations knew oi" the fa..tllily' s residence in Lanark County, Ontario, it seems possible that '•m;,unty of Lanark" might have been assumed to be that of Ontario. This is only a conjecture,nowever, and unfortunately we have not found any family or public record to est~bliah the facts as to the birthpl~ce of these older children. John and Margaret Ralston emigrated from Scotland to What was known as the uperth and Lanark Settlelliente".In .1814 the British government, in order to divert the etrea~ of emigra tion to the United States, of'tered inducements !or settle - ment in Canada, - tree passage, 100 acres of land, and 1aple ments o.nd r~J.tions for a time. ~~bout 700 persons embarked ;• . ,'fi; ' / . ~.~ .... re~1n1ng ~,·r~: , !rom Greenock in 1815,some in Kontreal and Cornwall l . ·and the remainder in 1816 settling in the townships of Bat- . ~ :..., . hurst,Drummond and Beckwith.There are preaer~ed in the ar- ------~-·------· 9 chives of Ontario a series of letters, giving an interesting account concerning this settlement, by Rev; William Bell,who wu.s sent as pastor of the settlement.
