Stirlings of Ardoch and Grahams of Airth Family STIRLINGS OF ARDOCH AND GRAHAMS OF AIRTH FAMILY LETTERS: A PERSONAL VIEW OF THE VALUE OF KINSHIP Transcribed and Edited by Sarah Harrison 1 Introduction This book is about the search for the man in the photograph on a carte de visite taken in Exeter, date unknown. His name was Thomas Stirling and the little I knew about him came from a biography of his son, Waite Stirling, Bishop of the Falkland Islands1. The author, Frederick Macdonald, hinted at some reticence on Waite's part to reveal very much : “The story of his life, so far as he allowed it to be known...” but that his father, “Captain Thomas Stirling, belonged to the family of Sir Henry Stirling, created a Baronet in 1666...” From his granddaughter, Minnie's, Birthday Book I found that Thomas was born 6th October 1792, but that was all. One of the great joys of living in the age of the Internet is that it has become possible to do research without having to travel to archives or to spend weeks on fruitless hunches. Using online resources, I discovered from the 1851 census that Thomas was born in Jamaica . I traced the Stirling Baronetcy to that of Ardoch but could find no mention of any Thomas born in 1792. I had found that the Stirlings of Keir and Kippendavie had estates in St James Jamaica so searched for Thomas there. Then, by chance, I found the burial of Charles Stirling Esquire 18 January 1795 in St Catherine's Cathedral, Spanish Town. Through the Jamaican almanacs I traced him to Ardoch Penn in St Ann's. From the St Ann's register I found a baptism of Charles Stirling, son of Charles, 22nd October 1791. Unusually for this register no mother's name was given. I found another son, William, “son of Charles Sterling by Rebecca Ash was born on the 5th of June last and baptized on the 22nd of October 1794”. However, there was no mention of a son Thomas in that register or in any other Jamaican registers around the given birth date. The breakthrough came in December 2010 when I found a reference in the Graham of Airth papers in the National Library of Scotland to “letters from Charles, William and Thomas Stirling, natural sons of Charles Stirling of Ardoch Penn, Jamaica, mostly relating to their naval careers, 1808-1835”. It is as a result of transcribing these and other related documents and letters that I can now give a fuller account of the background to the life of Thomas Stirling. [A link to the ancestry of the Stirling and Graham families www.alanmacfarlane.com/wstirling/index] The Letters What follows is a largely unedited selection of letters, given in chronological order rather than by writer, from people tightly or loosely connected with the Stirling family of Ardoch and the Graham family of Airth living in the Lowlands of Scotland, over a period of some eighty years. The writers tell their own stories, with a little background information by the editor in the form of endnotes, so that the reader is left with the pleasure of a researcher trying to make his or her own assessment of the historical past, and how different or similar our lives are to theirs. Letter from Thomas Stirling2 to his brother Sir William Stirling3 of Ardoch GD24/1/458/1 Camp at Montreall 9th Sept 1760 Dear Willie I had the pleasure of your Letter of the 14th Aprill, Yesterday morning acquainting me of your intention, and near approach to marraige I will not use many words to assure you how very agreable it is to me, your good choice in one who is endowed with so many good Qualifications & 2 so much sweetness of temper, convinces me that you will enjoy all the happiness that you can wish for or the state will admit of, which is the only objection I ever could have had against your entering into it As I make no doubt at our having thoroughly studyed your affairs I very much approve of your following the dictates of a well grown deep assion, on which the happiness of your future Life depended that sacrifising that, for money which would only have increased your Misery wt your fortune by not being able to enjoy it. With regard to Mally4 and Annies5 marraiges all that a womans friends has to say in that is to take care that she does not marry below herself nor to one who cannot maintain her, as neither I believe is the case wt them, I am very well pleased, they are the only judges on regard to happiness in that affair and therefore ought to be allowed to make their own choice. may you all three be happy, May you enjoy every Satisfaction & pleasure that can be wished for, from the Company of an agreable friend or the conversation of a Sensible Companion, and may your familys encrease wt your happiness and that as long your lives, is the sincere and ardent prayer of one who desires nothing so much as the Prosperity and Welfare of his Brothers and Sisters I wrote you from Oswego6, I hope it came to hand as in it was enclosed a draught on the agent Mr Henry Drummond7 for 159£ 15sh in case you have not got it you should write immediately to Mr Drummond to stop payment, as I have now got out of the break I have set myself to follow the Soldier trade and at same time I have as much money ready that I may purchase when an opportunity offers wtout being an burthen to my friends that is my only reason for having saved and as soon as I can command that of my own than I propose to live up to every shilling of my income I wrote you from Oswego of my just setting out wt the advanced of the army, I was luckily detained two days after them by being on a Genll Court Martiall, for of three boats that my Comp. was in two of them was overwhelmed by [unclear] the waves and Dashed to pieces against the rocks in crossing the Lake the boat I should have been in was one of them, in it I lost my field stores, wine, biscuit, smoke beef &c. which we are obliged to carry wt us, as we sometimes cannot be supplyed wt any kind of necessary otherwise the Army left Oswego the 10th the 17 came before [c.o.

  • Former Fellows Biographical Index Part
    Former Fellows of The Royal Society of Edinburgh 1783 – 2002 Biographical Index Part Two ISBN 0 902198 84 X Published July 2006 © The Royal Society of Edinburgh 22-26 George Street, Edinburgh, EH2 2PQ BIOGRAPHICAL INDEX OF FORMER FELLOWS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF EDINBURGH 1783 – 2002 PART II K-Z C D Waterston and A Macmillan Shearer This is a print-out of the biographical index of over 4000 former Fellows of the Royal Society of Edinburgh as held on the Society’s computer system in October 2005. It lists former Fellows from the foundation of the Society in 1783 to October 2002. Most are deceased Fellows up to and including the list given in the RSE Directory 2003 (Session 2002-3) but some former Fellows who left the Society by resignation or were removed from the roll are still living. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT Information on the Fellowship has been kept by the Society in many ways – unpublished sources include Council and Committee Minutes, Card Indices, and correspondence; published sources such as Transactions, Proceedings, Year Books, Billets, Candidates Lists, etc. All have been examined by the compilers, who have found the Minutes, particularly Committee Minutes, to be of variable quality, and it is to be regretted that the Society’s holdings of published billets and candidates lists are incomplete. The late Professor Neil Campbell prepared from these sources a loose-leaf list of some 1500 Ordinary Fellows elected during the Society’s first hundred years. He listed name and forenames, title where applicable and national honours, profession or discipline, position held, some information on membership of the other societies, dates of birth, election to the Society and death or resignation from the Society and reference to a printed biography.

  • Hornblower's Ships
    Names of Ships from the Hornblower Books. Introduction Hornblower’s biographer, C S Forester, wrote eleven books covering the most active and dramatic episodes of the life of his subject. In addition, he also wrote a Hornblower “Companion” and the so called three “lost” short stories. There were some years and activities in Hornblower’s life that were not written about before the biographer’s death and therefore not recorded. However, the books and stories that were published describe not only what Hornblower did and thought about his life and career but also mentioned in varying levels of detail the people and the ships that he encountered. Hornblower of course served on many ships but also fought with and against them, captured them, sank them or protected them besides just being aware of them. Of all the ships mentioned, a handful of them would have been highly significant for him. The Indefatigable was the ship on which Midshipman and then Acting Lieutenant Hornblower mostly learnt and developed his skills as a seaman and as a fighting man. This learning continued with his experiences on the Renown as a lieutenant. His first commands, apart from prizes taken, were on the Hotspur and the Atropos. Later as a full captain, he took the Lydia round the Horn to the Pacific coast of South America and his first and only captaincy of a ship of the line was on the Sutherland. He first flew his own flag on the Nonsuch and sailed to the Baltic on her. In later years his ships were smaller as befitted the nature of the tasks that fell to him.

The collection was delivered to the Medieval Department of the museum, where it was housed until its transfer to The Cloisters Archives during the summer of 1993. Funding for the first year of a two-year processing project was provided through the generosity of Shelby White and Leon Levy. The first year of the project to process the Harry Bober Papers began in August of 1994 and ended in August of 1995, conducted by Associate Archivist Elaine M. Stomber. Tasks completed within the first year included: rehousing the collection within appropriate archival folders and boxing systems; transferring original folder titles to new folders; conservation repair work to the deteriorating card file system; creating a container list to Bober's original filing system; transferring published material from research files; and preparing a preliminary finding aid to the collection.

Brussels PRINTED FOR MELINE, CANS A.ND C"., EOILEVARD DE WATERLOO, Zi. M DCCC XXXIX. MR V. un:ve PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION. To assist in the detection of spurious and the correction of inaccu- rate pedigrees, is one of the purposes of the present publication, in which respect the first Volume has been of acknowledged utility. The two together, it is hoped, will form a comprehensive and tole- rably correct Register of Pedigrees. It will be observed that some of the Mares which appeared in the last Supplement (whereof this is a republication and continua- tion) stand as they did there, i. e. without any additions to their produce since 1813 or 1814. — It has been ascertained that several of them were about that time sold by public auction, and as all attempts to trace them have failed, the probability is that they have either been converted to some other use, or been sent abroad. If any proof were wanting of the superiority of the English breed of horses over that of every other country, it might be found in the avidity with which they are sought by Foreigners. The exportation of them to Russia, France, Germany, etc. for the last five years has been so considerable, as to render it an object of some importance in a commercial point of view.

  • Freedom by Reaching the Wooden World: American Slaves and the British Navy During the War of 1812
    Freedom by Reaching the Wooden World: American Slaves and the British Navy during the War of 1812. Thomas Malcomson Les noirs américains qui ont échappé à l'esclavage pendant la guerre de 1812 l'ont fait en fuyant vers les navires de la marine britannique. Les historiens ont débattu de l'origine causale au sein de cette histoire, en la plaçant soit entièrement dans les mains des esclaves fugitifs ou les Britanniques. L'historiographie a mis l'accent sur l'expérience des réfugiés dans leur lieu de réinstallation définitive. Cet article réexamine la question des causes et se concentre sur la période comprise entre le premier contact des noirs américains qui ont fuit l'esclavage et la marine britannique, et le départ définitif des ex-esclaves avec les Britanniques à la fin de la guerre. L'utilisation des anciens esclaves par les Britanniques contre les Américains en tant que guides, espions, troupes armées et marins est examinée. Les variations locales en l'interaction entre les esclaves fugitifs et les Britanniques à travers le théâtre de la guerre, de la Chesapeake à la Nouvelle-Orléans, sont mises en évidence. As HMS Victorious lay at anchor in Lynnhaven Bay, off Norfolk, in the early morning hours of 10 March 1813, a boat approached from the Chesapeake shore.1 Its occupants, nine American Black men drew the attention of the sailors in the guard boat circling the 74 gun ship. The men were runaway slaves. After a cautious inspection, the guard boat’s crew towed them to the Victorious where the nine Black men climbed up the ship’s side and entered freedom.
