Malcolm and Maureen live in Sonora, and Malcolm is the 3rd Chieftain of the S.F. Caledonian Club.

Paulette and I invited Nancy to spend a couple of days with us so she could attend the meet- ing, and we really enjoyed her visit. A potluck, generous with main dishes and a very delicious dessert made by Cheryl Hurst, was followed by a brief business meeting and a very interesting presentation by author Naida West. Naida spoke mostly of her award winning novel, 'Symon's Daughter: A Memoir of Elizabeth Symon Smith'. Elizabeth was the daugh- ter of a Scottish Presbyterian minister who immigrated to Utah, and is Naida‘s grand- mother. She also introduced her trilogy, historical novels of early California.

  • Can You Identify the Clan
    Who Fought On What Side At Culloden Most people will tell you The Battle of Culloden was fought by the Scottish clans on the side of Prince Charlie and the British army with the Duke of Cumberland on the other side, Scot’s against the English. This is not quite right. You had clans on both sides, and you had clans that did not come out for either side. Some clans such as Clan Gordon and Clan Grant were represented on both sides. In the case of Clan Gordon, the chief of Clan Gordon took the side of the English but his brother Lord Lewis Gordon with many from Clan Gordon joined the Jacobite side. Clan Grant of Glenmorriston came out to fight on the Jacobite side, while Clan Grant of Freuchie opposed them on the English side. Clan Rose tried to remain neutral, on 14 April 1746 Hugh Rose of Kilravock, chief of Clan Rose entertained Bonnie Price Charlie. On 15 April Hugh Rose entertained the Duke of Cumberland. Can’t get more diplomatic than that. The chief of Clan MacQuarrie took no side but did not stop his clansmen from doing so. This also happened with a lot of small clan groups. So the question is what clan was on what side? The following list is compiled from present day sources. Some clans may not be listed, if your clan is not listed, take the time and find out which side they may have been on. CLANS WITH BONNIE PRINCE CHARLIE Boyd Cameron Chilsom Davidson Drummond Farquharson Fraser Hay Livingstone MacBean MacColl MacDonald of Glencoe MacDonald of GlenGarry MacDonald of Keppoch MacDonald Clan Ranald MacDuff MacFie MacGillivray MacGregor MacInnes MacKinnon MacKintosh MacIntyre MacIver 2 MacLachlan MacLaren MacLean MacLea MacNeil of Barra MacNaughten MacPherson Menzie Morrison Oglivy Oliphant Robertson Stewart of Appin Along with the clans listed on the side of Bonnie Prince Charlie was the regiment of Atholl Highlanders made up of Clan Murray and the following clansmen of Clan Ferguson, Stewart of Atholl, men from Clan Elphinstone, Forbes, Keith, MacKenzie, MacLeod of MacLeod, Macleod of Lewis, MacTavish, MacMillan, Maxwell, Ramsey and Clan Wemyss.

    ********************************************************************************* GENEALOGISTS FOR THE SCOTTISH CLANS by Robert D. McLaren 7810 Kincardine Court Alexandria, VA 22315-4025 (703) 971-6924 [email protected] 8 April 2000 Version 2000-3 © Copyright 2000 Robert D. McLaren The following list is a compilation of Clan Genealogists or Clan points of contact for genealogy (for the Scottish Clans and Family Associations). The amount of information available from these genealogists varies greatly, with some having extensive records. For example, the clan genealogist for Clan Scott maintains a database of all SCOTTs and is a coordinator of the SCOTT One Name Society. He has about 53,000 records on file dealing with more than 2,000 family lines. The clan genealogist/historian for Clan Barclay also is a coordinator for the BARCLAY One Name Society. She has about 19,000 BARCLAY/BARKLEY and collateral names on file dealing with 125 family lines. The Clan Morrison historian has a 6,000-name database of MORRISON families in the U.S. and Canada. Some clans have genealogy committees. When I learn about them I will include committee members in this listing. Some of these members only cover one or a few states. In these cases, I note the states that particular member covers. Also, some clan genealogists specialize in one surname of a clan. Clan MacKay, for example, has many surname genealogists. I am listing these surnames under the parent clan with a note (i.e., See also Mackie). The actual genealogist and his/her address will be listed under the surname (i.e., Mackie). For some clans, more than one society exists.

His widow, Princess Mary, was then compelled to marry the elderly Lord Hamilton who was created Earl of Arran and thus made the Hamiltons next in line to the throne rather than the Boyds. The line of Boyds did however continue through the second son of Lord Boyd and the title was restored in The 10th Lord Boyd was made Earl of Kilmarnock by Charles II in but less than a century later the title was stripped for the part played by the 4th Earl in the Jacobite rebellion. The title was passed through the female line to the Earl's second son who inherited the title of the Earl of Erroll and adopted the name of Hay. He was succeeded in by the 7th Lord Kilmarnock. An origin in the Isle of Bute 'Bod' in Gaelic has also been promoted. Their reputed Anglo- Norman ancestor was Simon, younger brother of Walter the first High Steward, and the fess-chequey in the Boyd arms might support this origin. They supported Bruce in the struggle for Independence and following Bannockburn in Sir Robert Boyd was granted the lands around Kilmarnock lately forfeited by Balliol.
