Some Fraser Pedigrees SOME FRASER PEDIGREES BY DUNCAN WARRAND, M.A., F.S.A. INVERNESS: Robert Carruthers & Sons 1934 To CHARLES IAN FRASER, OF REELIG, HEIR-MALE OF THE HOUSE OF CULDUTHEL, in gratitude for his unfailing interest in this work. PREFACE To every serious student of history, genealogy will, sooner or later, become a science. Without it, the Middle A.ges, and indeed the Later Ages, can never be properly understood. Where this is true of Kings and Queens, it must, when dealing with local events, be equally true of Squires and Dames. In the Highlands especially, matrimonial alliances of Lairds and Ladies played no small part in the annals of parishes, often of whole districts. The Clan or Sept as a unit, absorbing and renaming each individual coming within its sphere of influence, is so old that, scattered as its members now are throughout the world, every one of them believes that at some period, however remote, there was a close connection between his own im-me­ diate ancestor and the Chief himself. This is a very natural and a very proper belief, and it is true more often than is sometimes supposed, but the right method must be taken to prove it. Unfortunately, genealogy has sometimes been sorely mishandled. In England since the reign of Elizabeth, pedigrees have been made to suit the ambitions of the newly prosperous; and of some of the.se. that eminent historian, the late J. Horace Round, has made good sport. In Scotland the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries saw many and varied compilations. Sir Thomas Urquhart of Cromarty wrote fantastically of godlike ancestors; the Chief of the Macfarlanes made conscientious collections. But, who to-day, however honest, could write from memory or hearsay of first, second and third cousins without making slips innumerable? How much more so in times when public records were almost inaccessible? Even to-day, however complete may be the material, it is almost impossible to imagine a pedigree of several generations without any mistakes at all. In practice errors may to a great extent be avoided, by a sparse use of family histories which fail to give references. For the historian, these pub­ lications are almost valueless; for the genealogist, they form at best a basis for further inquiry. Traditions, however old, are dangerous, and legends vi. PREFACE handed down through g1·andmothers and grandaunts, however respectable, should be heard politely but without credulity. In offering these articles to the public, I have purposely stopped short of to-day, in most cases by about a hundred years, to avoid unnecessary matter. Doubtless every Fraser knows his or her descent for that period. I have, however, tried to find the younger sons of former generations, as possible links for such as are in doubt. The pedigrees chosen are of Frasers of Inverness-shire only, but the well­ known line of the Chief, so often legally debated, has been omitted. To write a complete history of all Frasers would occupy a lifetime; to find the material might cost a fortune. I therefore give what I have found, trusting that these accounts may be of use, not only to genealogists but to local historians; though in point of fact the two must go together. D. W.

  • Introduction the Place-Names in This Book Were Collected As Part of The
    Introduction The place-names in this book were collected as part of the Arts and Humanities Research Board-funded (AHRB) ‘Norse-Gaelic Frontier Project, which ran from autumn 2000 to summer 2001, the full details of which will be published as Crawford and Taylor (forthcoming). Its main aim was to explore the toponymy of the drainage basin of the River Beauly, especially Strathglass,1 with a view to establishing the nature and extent of Norse place-name survival along what had been a Norse-Gaelic frontier in the 11th century. While names of Norse origin formed the ultimate focus of the Project, much wider place-name collection and analysis had to be undertaken, since it is impossible to study one stratum of the toponymy of an area without studying the totality. The following list of approximately 500 names, mostly with full analysis and early forms, many of which were collected from unpublished documents, has been printed out from the Scottish Place-Name Database, for more details of which see Appendix below. It makes no claims to being comprehensive, but it is hoped that it will serve as the basis for a more complete place-name survey of an area which has hitherto received little serious attention from place-name scholars. Parishes The parishes covered are those of Kilmorack KLO, Kiltarlity & Convinth KCV, and Kirkhill KIH (approximately 240, 185 and 80 names respectively), all in the pre-1975 county of Inverness-shire. The boundaries of Kilmorack parish, in the medieval diocese of Ross, first referred to in the medieval record as Altyre, have changed relatively little over the centuries.

PREFACE Since ever dwellers on the Continent were first able to navigate the ocean, the isles of Great Britain and Ireland must have been objects which excited their supreme interest. To this we owe in part the com- ing of our own early ancestors to these isles. But while we have histories which inform us of the several historic invasions, they all seem to me to belittle far too much the influence of the Norse Invasions in particular. This error I would fain correct, so far as regards Celtic Scotland.

This was primarily due to its strategic importance as the northern gateway into the Hebrides to the west, and Caithness and Sutherland to the north. The power derived from the earldom’s strategic situation was enhanced by the status of its earls. From 1215 to 1372 the earldom was ruled by an uninterrupted MacTaggart comital dynasty which was able to capitalise on this longevity to establish itself as an indispensable authority in Scotland north of the Forth.

  • Traditions of Strathglass. by Colin Chisholm. I
    TRADITIONS OF STRATHGLASS. BY COLIN CHISHOLM. I. IN this and the succeeding papers on the traditions of my native glen, I shall only select such legends as truthful and trustworthy people used to recite : Straghlais a chruidh Chininn Cha robh mi ann aiueol, 'S TO mli.it.h b'eol dhomh Gleanncanaich an fheoir. There is an old tradition in Strathglass that all the inhabitants of the name of Ghisholm in the district are descended from a colony of emigrants who left Caithness in troublesome times and located themselves in the Glen. From my earliest recollection I used to hear this story among the people. Some believed, some doubted, and some denied it altogether. In Maclan's sketches of the Highland Clans, there is a short account of the Clan Chisholm and how they settled in the Highlands, by James Logan, F.S.A. Scot, written by him for MacIan when he was a librarian in the British Museum, where he collected the data from which he wrote his admirable history of the "Scottish Gael." Finding the old Strathglass tradition partly, if not wholly substantiated by the following extract from No. 2, page 1, of the joint sketches by Maclan and Logan, let me place it before the reader, that he may judge for himself : — " Harald, or Guthred, Thane of Caithness, nourished in the latter part of the twelfth century. Sir Robert Gordon gives him the surname of Chisholm ; and the probability is, that it was the general name of his followers. He married the daughter of Madach, Earl of Athol, and be came one of the most powerful chiefs in the north, where he created con- tinned disturbances during the reign of William the Lion, by whom he was at last defeated and put to death, his lands being divided between Freskin, ancestor of the Earls of Sutherland, and Manus, or Magnus, son of Gillibreid, Earl of Angus.

    1816.] REGISTER OF OFFICERS OF THE UNITED STATES. 307 JANUARYn 9, 1816. With every expedient of economy that I find possible, I am living at an expense which, at the end of two years from my arrival in this country, would more than absorb the whole salary for those two yeaLs, even with tile allow- ance for the outfit. A very few years' residence here must involve my own affairs beyond all power of redemption. Extracts of a letterfrom Mr. Adams to thte Secretary of State, dated JANUARY 4, 1816. It is very desirable that some general revision of the consular establishments should be made, and some regular system concerning them be sanctioned by law. For the port of London a provision for the compensation of the consul must be made, or the office must be given to some wealthy merchant established in the city, to whom it may be acceptable for the facilities of business which le may derive from it. Colonel Aspinwall cannot hold it long without a salary, or without forming a commercial establishment connected with it, and upon which alone he must rely for support. In one of his late letters to me, (a copy of which has been transmitted to you,) Mr. Beasley expresses the convic- tion that the provision made by the laws of the United States for the relief of indigent and destitute seamen in foreign ports is liable to great abuse. The late and present excessive numbers of persons claiming the benefit of it, both at London and Liverpool, afford confirmations of that opinion; but, on the other hand, it is obvious that, with the increase of our commerce and navigation, the casualties incident to them must have proportionably multiplied.
