William 476 Appendix 1, Scottish Links Appendix 1, Scottish Links OUTLINE DESCENDANT REPORT—CHIEF WILLIAM (REDCLOAK) BELL REVISION B The names, dates and locations outlined below are retrieved from many sources and as such cannot be totally or ac- curately authenticated. The authors posses primary and secondary sources for all of the many branches of Bell’s listed, but some dates and kinship lines may vary due to differences of various research publications. A “Bell of Blackethouse Chart,” first drafted by Donald Whyte, F.S.A., 27 March, 1986 and later revised by an un- known person, was obtained at the 2003 Clan Bell International Gathering at Daytona Beach Florida. Whyte’s genealogy data combined with mostly Charles Mosley, editor, Burke’s Peerage, Baronetage and Knightage 1050, 1051 and other data contained within the pages of this book are compiled and reconstructed below. The reader is advised to use this outline as a guide and follow up with his (her) own research and sources. This report is limited up to eleven out of a total of present day possible ^sixteen generations due to space limitations and privacy con- siderations of known living persons. Also be alert to: 1.) each individual’s information is generation numbered on a separate line, and each generation is indented slightly more than the one before it. Each descendant’s spouse is directly beneath him or her and is marked with a plus sign (+). Think of time and generations left to right horizontally. 2.) a ^(caret) to indicate that a specific fact (in the authors opinion) is either unproven, of questionable source, or a conflict of sources. Your authors have tried not to change the original source wording or spelling. 3.)# (number) of children listed for each parent as this is only an indicator of known children; i.e. there may be more children not on this record or children listed (not listed) by a previous or later spouse. 4.) facts are shortened and abbreviated to save space, thus sometimes are grammatically imperfect. 5.) the ages at death listed are occasionally calculated from born about (abt) dates and at best are only age estimates. An interesting tidbit, between 1550-1800 the average death age from the known of over fourteen thousand Bell kinship in this book is fifty seven years and two months. Also be aware of the before (bef), between (btw.), after (aft.). born (b.), married (m.), and died (d.) dates. 6.) spouses with multiple marriages may be identified with a bracketed number before their name, example [3] John Doe. Look for [3] John Doe elsewhere for another marriage. 7.) The reading of the indentures will quickly enhance the kinship relationship. For instance when reviewing, say the third generation, all ….3 indentured names are mostly siblings, but later, a limited few may include half siblings, first cousins or half first cousins. Siblings are listed in order of birth where possible. 8.) Internet sources existed at time of this book writing and some in time may be changed or removed.

    Edinburgh Graveyards Project: Documentary Survey For Canongate Kirkyard --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Canongate 1.1. Background Canongate’s close proximity to the Palace of Holyroodhouse, which is situated at the eastern end of Canongate Burgh, has been influential on both the fortunes of the Burgh and the establishment of Canongate Kirk. In 1687, King James VII declared that the Abbey Church of Holyroodhouse was to be used as the chapel for the re-established Order of the Thistle and for the performance of Catholic rites when the Royal Court was in residence at Holyrood. The nave of this chapel had been used by the Burgh of Canongate as a place of Protestant worship since the Reformation in the mid sixteenth century, but with the removal of access to the Abbey Church to practise their faith, the parishioners of Canongate were forced to find an alternative venue in which to worship. Fortunately, some 40 years before this edict by James VII, funds had been bequeathed to the inhabitants of Canongate to erect a church in the Burgh - and these funds had never been spent. This money was therefore used to build Canongate Kirk and a Kirkyard was laid out within its grounds shortly after building work commenced in 1688. 1 Development It has been ruminated whether interments may have occurred on this site before the construction of the Kirk or the landscaping of the Kirkyard2 as all burial rights within the church had been removed from the parishioners of the Canongate in the 1670s, when the Abbey Church had became the chapel of the King.3 The earliest known plan of the Kirkyard dates to 1765 (Figure 1), and depicts a rectilinear area on the northern side of Canongate burgh with arboreal planting 1 John Gifford et al., Edinburgh, The Buildings of Scotland: Pevsner Architectural Guides (London : Penguin, 1991).

  • PASSAGES of MEDICAL HISTORY. Edinburgh Medicine, 1750-1800.*
    PASSAGES OF MEDICAL HISTORY. Edinburgh Medicine, 1750-1800.* By JOHN D. COMRIE, M.A., B.Sc., M.D., F.R.C.P.Ed. In my ten-minute talk last May about the Edinburgh medical school I dealt with the founding of the Royal College of Physicians, the botanic garden, and the expansion of the Town's College into the University of Edinburgh through the establishment of a medical faculty in 1726. In the second half of the eighteenth century the medical school at Edinburgh became much more than a local institution, and not only attracted students from all over the British Isles, but was the chief centre to which men desiring to study medicine had recourse from the newly-founded British colonies through- out the world. Several of the teachers were men who attained great reputations. Dr Robert Whytt succeeded John Rutherford as professor both of the theory and practice of medicine in 1747, and was appointed largely because he was interested in medical research, a rare pursuit in those days. Stone in the bladder was a serious and frequent complaint which attracted great public interest and produced many reputed solvents for these calculi. Whytt had carried out an elaborate series of experiments in the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh with lime water, which he found to have a considerable power in disintegrating calculi, and he had published A n Essay on the Virtues of Lime Water and Soap in the Cure of the Stone. The treatment upon which he finally settled was to administer daily by the mouth water. He an ounce of soap and three pints or more of lime also published An Essay on the Vital and Other Involuntary Motions of Animals which brought him into conflict with the great Albrecht von Haller and gained him prominent notice on the Continent.

  • Introduction
    Introduction Glasgow University Library possesses an extensive collection of the papers of the Thomsons, a family of eminent nineteenth-century medical men. These form part of a larger set of Cullen-Thomson material. Some of these manuscripts were donated to the Library by John Millar Thomson in 1920; the remainder was discovered in the University Library Store in 1973. Among this latter set are a series of letters between Allen Thomson (1809-84) and William Sharpey (1802-80).' The bulk of this correspondence consists of letters from Sharpey to Thomson; but there are also several copies and drafts of the letters Thomson sent. These are valuable because Thomson's side of the correspondence has not otherwise survived. Letters from other individuals mentioned in the correspondence are also present. It seems that Thomson brought together all these letters, along with other documents, as sources for the obituary of Sharpey he was writing. A calendar of these letters will be found in the Appendix. This edition consists only of a selection of the letters. I have chosen those of most interest to the historian of medicine, and, in particular, those that bear on the roles played by Thomson and Sharpey as influential medical scientists and medical politicians in nineteenth-century Britain. Sharpey is the better-known of the two; he has been the subject of a lengthy article by D. W. Taylor.2 However, Taylor did not have access to a manuscript biography of Sharpey that Thomson composed in 1880, which provides much new information especially about Sharpey's early career.3 He was born at Arbroath in Forfarshire, Scotland in 1802, the stepson of a local medical practitioner.

FOREWORD. For several years it has been my effort to assemble the names of the de­ scendants of William Wilson and Elizabeth Blackburn, who settled finally in what is now Hardy County, West Virginia. The task has been an arduous one with many discouragements, but after much labor it is here presented in the best form pos­ sible under the circumstances. It was my main purpose merely to assemble the names of which there are now over 7,200. It is my guess, (not even an estimate,) that at least 1,500 are not yet included. Many of the "children" disappeared in the early part of the eigh­ teenth century and no further traces have been found. A word as to the accuracy of this list. Please remember all had to be ac­ cumulated by correspondence. In many cases no replies were received and informa­ tion had to be gathered from the best available sources. Very often the data were given from memory. Many of the dates and the spelling of the names have been changed three or four times as later information would come in.

Benjamin Bell (1749- 1806) Until the latter half of the 18th century, the influence of Edinburgh surgeons was largely confined to Scotland. Some members of the Incorporation like Archibald Pitcairn and Alexander Munro primus had established European reputations, the former in the field of medicine and the latter in anatomy . It was Benjamin Bell, regarded by many as the “father of the Edinburgh Surgical School", who was the first to establish an international reputation for Edinburgh Surgery. Working in Edinburgh in the age of the Scottish Enlightenment, Benjamin Bell was truly a son of that Enlightenment. A polymath, original thinker, and innovator, he was the first to publish a comprehensive surgical text book in the English language. Like two other sons of the Enlightenment, Allan Ramsay and Thomas Carlisle, Bell was born in Dumfriesshire. After local schooling he was apprenticed to Mr James Hill, surgeon in Dumfries, and in 1766 entered the Edinburgh Medical School.
