Robert Metcalfe, Computing Entrepreneur This issue of the Journal highlights networking in support of genealogical research. Jill Spitler's Membership News message solicits suggestions for expanding the Clan Ewing network by bringing its activities to the attention of potential members. David Ewing's Chancellor's Message identifies members who are transcribing and scanning materials, and solicits additional volunteers, in order to enhance the communication across the network from members who have prepared valuable genealogical material to members who are trying to solve their genealogical puzzles. My Web Site News message provides advice about how best to browse through materials provided via the Internet network. Clan Ewing's biannual gatherings offer premiere opportunities for concentrated, face-to-face networking among Ewing cousins and researchers. The Chair's Message from Mary Gosline reveals additional details about the plans for the upcoming 2008 Gathering. And, additional context for this gathering's focus on the Ewing settlement of Shenandoah Valley is provided by two articles: one by Jean McClure on the Great Philadelphia Wagon Road, and one by Evelyn Ewing on the Ewings who settled the Stephens City, Frederick County, Virginia, area. This gathering is shaping up to be one of the best in terms of your ability to prepare specific questions and specific data in advance and use these questions and data to focus and guide your networking with other attendees during the gathering. In his eleventh Ewing Surname Y-DNA Project article, David Ewing focuses on the connections that might exist to several other Clans as indicated by Y-DNA evidence. My third article on the Ewing settlers of Southwestern Pennsylvania focuses on the contribution of Squire James Ewing (1733-1825) to establishing Presbyterianism in rural Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, in the late eighteenth century. The records of the Montours Presbyterian Church founded by Squire James and his neighbors in 1788 identify inter-marriage connections among some forty-five-plus settler families. Both articles serve to enlarge the network by identifying collateral families. Genealogies for these families may lead to information valuable in filling in gaps in Ewing genealogical data, solving genealogical puzzles, and resolving conflicts and issues revealed by other data and information. David Ewing's article and my article offer an interesting example of the value of broadcasting information across the network. Independently, we each included information about potential collateral families. David Ewing lists three-dozen surnames of families from the Scottish Borders. I identify ten- dozen surnames of families who supported the call from the Montours and Raccoon Presbyterian congregations for ministerial support. There is a noticeable overlap between these two lists; about a dozen surnames appear in both lists. By highlighting possible connections among families, this overlap can be used to focus David Ewing's search for Y-DNA evidence and my search for understanding the spousal connections among the settlers of Southwestern Pennsylvania.

  • Richie Graham of Brackenhill Infamous Borderline Raider Who Evaded Arrest for Murder and Treason
    Border Reivers - Richie Graham of Brackenhill Infamous Borderline Raider who Evaded Arrest for Murder and Treason © THOMAS WILLIAM MOSS May 18, 2009 Richie Graham of Brackenhill was reiver, blackmailer, extortionist and counterfeit coiner. He would commit murder and treason but never answer for his life of crime. In 1584 George Graham, alias Parcivall's Geordie, was murdered by Richie Graham of Brackenhill at Levens Bridge. Today Brackenhill tower still stands near Longtown, north Cumbria as testimony to one of the most infamous of English reivers. Levens Bridge can also be seen but the river that it crosses is no longer called the Leven. Today it is the Lyne. A Border Reiver Murder Richie Graham struck Geordie Graham between the shoulder blades with a lance. With that and other wounds inflicted by his accomplice, Geordie Graham died three weeks later in Carlisle. So much for the bonds of clanship! Richie was indicted for this murder, and three others, but he was still around in 1596 whenn he took part in the rescue of Kinmont Willie. A Reiver Counterfeit Coiner Graham was a notorious horse-thief, once stealing eighty horses from the Provost of Falkland in Fife. There was, however, a more lucrative haul from his foray north of the river Forth. He also came away with £5000 worth of gold and silver. This, with similar hauls throughout his life, he used to counterfeit coin of the realm. In the top floor of his tower of Brackenhill he employed a 'koyner' who transformed the gold and silver into untold wealth for the unscrupulous reiver.

  • A Fractious and Naughty People: the Border Reivers in Ireland
    A Fractious and Naughty People: The Border Reivers in Ireland By Trevor Graham King James the Sixth faced a serious problem in 1604. He had just become the King of England the previous year, in addition to already being the King of Scotland. He had recently ordered the border between Scotland and England pacified of the “Border Reivers”, warlike families whose activities of raiding and pillaging had been encouraged (and in some cases, funded) by the Scottish and English governments during times of war. Armies were hard to maintain, but entire families of marauders were cost effective and deadly. But now, with the countries united under a single monarch and supposed to be working together, their wanton destruction was no longer tolerated and was swiftly punished by the English and Scottish March Wardens with “Jeddart justice” (summary execution). He couldn’t hang all those responsible, so James decided to relocate the troublesome families. Recently, rebellious earls in Ireland had fled the country, and plans were set up to settle that land with loyal Protestants from Great Britain. But there were not enough settlers, and many native Irish still lived on that land in the northern part known as Ulster. Hoping to solve both problems at once, James and his government sent many Border families to the plantations around Ireland. Instead of being productive and keeping the peace however, they instead caused a sectarian split within Ireland. This led to nearly 400 years of bloodshed, leaving a scar that has remained to this day in Northern Ireland. To find out how all this fury and bloodshed began, we go back to 1601, when the combined forces of Hugh O’Neil, Hugh O’Donnell, and a Spanish force were defeated by the English at Kinsale.

    Clan Lachlan Association Newsletter Fall 2020, No. 55 , Page 1 The Rowan Tree Number 55 Clan Lachlan Association of Canada Inc. www.clanlachlan.ca Hon. Patron, Euan Maclachlan of Maclachlan, Chief of Clan Lachlan President's Message Greetings Clan Members, Hope this finds you & yours well in these tumultuous epidemic times. It is astonishing how quickly “work at home” and “social distancing” have become part of our lives. On-line sales and delivery are booming. On-Line Learning is becoming standard for institutions from schools to universities. Zoom and other APPS are making world-wide meetings in person a reality. I have some comments on the Society in this epidemic world. Notice there is no reference to branch membership. The society can run with no reference to Branches whose main advantage is organizing meetings which require a physical presence, say a clan tent at a gathering. Fund raising is through the Lachlan Trust of Scotland and Lachlan Trust of Canada. Major funding sources have been Historic Scotland and the Heritage Lottery Fund. Fund-raising by Clan members is important as these bodies require evidence of public participation and support from “ancestral” tourists. (Note that Tax relief is only available for Donors who pay UK taxes) Clan Lachlan Association of Canada 80% of membership fees are made as donations to the Lachlan Trust of Canada and receive a Tax Credit if you pay Canadian Tax. You only receive a tax credit for expenditures directly incurred for work on the Old Castle Lachlan site. We will compute the amounts involved and issue cumulative tax credits in 2021.

William Mitchell, the founder and first rector of that church, and the first Anglicanminister in the colony. The Brownslived at "Brookville", Newcastle Road, Midland Junction.
