PREFACE. the Earl of Soutliesk intrusted me with the editing of a Book on the family of Carnegie, I had already become well acquainted with the history of the Earls of Soutliesk and their ancestors, from the investiga- tions made by me to aid in substantiating the claims of the Earl and his father, the late Sir James Carnegie, to the peerage. It is due to Lord Soutliesk to record that he was one of the first noblemen who proposed a work of this description, although from peculiar circumstances, which it is unnecessary to explain, similar Memorials of other families have been undertaken and completed by me whilst the present work was in pre- paration. The delay in executing his commission, however much to be regretted in other respects, has been attended with the advantage of bring- ing to light several documents of interest, which would not have appeared in this work had it been finished at an earlier period. The charters of the Carnegie family were destroyed by the burning of the mansion-house of Kinnaird after the battle of Brechin in the year 1452. The family afterwards formed an extensive collection of muniments, particularly in the time of Sir Eobert Carnegie, and his sons. Sir John and David Carnegie, and his grandson, the first Earl of Southesk ; but these again suffered from the confusion of the times, having been dispersed on the forfeiture of the fifth Earl in 1716, when the Family papers were taken possession of by the Commissioners on the forfeited estate of South- esk. Another disaster awaited these papers, for many of them, while in the 1 possession of the Barons of Exchequer, who came in place of the Com- missioners on the Forfeited Estates, appear to have been burned in the fire which occurred in the early part of the present century in the Old Exchequer Chambers at Edinburgh, where they were deposited. But notwithstanding these misfortunes, there still remained in the Charter-room at Kinnaird a large collection of valuable muniments, all of which were placed at my service by the present Earl. The labour of dealing with this mass of writings was much increased by the want of any pre- vious arrangement or inventory of them, but they have been all carefully examined, and it is believed that little contained in them, having any material bearing on the family history, has passed unnoticed in the present work. The Introduction, which forms the first division, contains a history of the territorial Earldom of Southesk, including the baronies and castles of Carnegie, Kinnaird and Farnell, also of the Earldom of Montrose, com- monly called Old Montrose, the Great Moor or Forest of Monrommon, the lordship, castle, and church of Leuchars, the lands of CoUuthie, the barony and castle of Pittarrow, the barony and mansion-house of Ethie, and tlie baronies of Kedcastle, Bahiamoon, and Lour. In the account of the barony of Carnegie some remarks will be found on the etymology of that surname, and on the reputed origin of the family of Carnegie ; while under the history of Kinnaird is given a full descrip- tion of the castle, policies, and parks, as these have recently been enlarged, improved, and ornamented by the Earl of Southesk. To the Introduction is added a brief account of tlie armorial bearings of the Carnegie family. The History of the Main Line of the Carnegie Family, which occu- pies the fii'st part of the work, traces the descent of the family from John de Balinhard in the thirteenth century, to the present Earl of Southesk. This division includes notices, in some instances brief from scantiness of mate- PREFACE. VU rials, of tlie Balinhards of Balinhard, and of the Carnegies of that Ilk, and afterwards of Kimiaird, and fiill memoirs of the Lords Carnegie and Earls of Southesk. After the main line of the Family, are given detailed Memoirs of those houses which branched off from time to time from the parent stock. These include the line of Pittarrow, which has carried on the male representation of the family, and from which have sprung many influential families of the name of Carnegie. Under this head notice is taken of Margaret Carnegie, Lady Salton, and her husband, Henry Fletcher of Salton, and their eldest son. Lord Milton. The next in order is the branch of Carnegie of Tarrie, followed by the junior branch of Pittarrow, in which notices are given of another lady of great worth, Susan Scott of Benholm, who, as ]\Irs.

THE "SETON-GORDONS " Of the cadet branches of the family of Seton by- far the most Important, and the largest, is that which, only two generations after its emergence from the parent stem, dropped the patronymic and. assumed the surname of the heiress of Gordon. In so far as the history of Scotland is concerned, this family of "Seton-Gordons", i.e. the Gordons who originated from the Setons, was a more consistently im- portant factor in the affairs of State than the main line, from the early 15th Century onwards. To their undoubted success many factors contribu- ted. When Alexander de Seton, second son of Sir William de Seton, married in 1408 Elizabeth de Gordon he became through her, and her maternal relations, the .possessor of large properties. He found himself at once in the position of one of the great land owners in the North; and he and his successors were particularly skilful in "birsing yorifj;" their boundaries.

  • An Old Family; Or, the Setons of Scotland and America
    [U AN OLD FAMILY OR The Setons of Scotland and America BY MONSIGNOR SETON (MEMBER OF THE NEW YORK HISTORICAL SOCIETY) NEW YORK BRENTANOS 1899 Copyright, 1899, by ROBERT SETON, D. D. TO A DEAR AND HONORED KINSMAN Sir BRUCE-MAXWELL SETON of Abercorn, Baronet THIS RECORD OF SCOTTISH ANCESTORS AND AMERICAN COUSINS IS AFFECTIONATELY INSCRIBED BY THE AUTHOR Preface. The glories of our blood and state Are shadows, not substantial things. —Shirley. Gibbon says in his Autobiography: "A lively desire of knowing and recording our ancestors so generally prevails that it must depend on the influence of some common principle in the minds of men"; and I am strongly persuaded that a long line of distinguished and patriotic forefathers usually engenders a poiseful self-respect which is neither pride nor arrogance, nor a bit of medievalism, nor a superstition of dead ages. It is founded on the words of Scripture : Take care of a good name ; for this shall continue with thee more than a thousand treasures precious and great (Ecclesiasticus xli. 15). There is no civilized people, whether living under republi- can or monarchical institutions, but has some kind of aristoc- racy. It may take the form of birth, ot intellect, or of wealth; but it is there. Of these manifestations of inequality among men, the noblest is that of Mind, the most romantic that of Blood, the meanest that of Money. Therefore, while a man may have a decent regard for his lineage, he should avoid what- ever implies a contempt for others not so well born.

  • Larry Chance & the Earls Provide Crowd-Pleasing Doo-Wop Harmony
    Larry Chance & The Earls provide crowd-pleasing doo-wop harmony Bill Herald Oldies Pop Music Examiner REVIEWED: Larry Chance and The Earls DATE: February 16, 2012 VENUE: Broadway Palm Dinner Theater, Fort Myers, Fla. When Larry Chance & The Earls took the stage, a sellout dinner-theater crowd soon found that "E" represented both the group's name and Entertainment with a capital E. The program featured a steady stream of flawless harmony, stage presence and crowd-pleasing vitality, reflecting Larry's comedic talents and obvious devotion to his fans. The show opened with one of The Earls' first recordings, an excellent doo-wop rendition of "Life Is But A Dream" from 1961. The group demonstrated its versatility on two numbers, the first being "Never", the follow-up to its most-recognized hit "Remember Then." And after a rendition of "Never" that sounded much like the 1963 recording, The Earls sang the same song in a slow, effective ballad style approximating the tempo of The Classics' 1963 version of "Till Then." The versatility came to the forefront when the group performed the Ritchie Valens classic song "Donna." For that number, Chance became drummer while percussionist Bobby Tribuzio handled keyboards. Meanwhile, keyboardist Vitto Garcia switched to guitar and Chuck Mearizo became lead vocalist. Audience interaction was prominent throughout. Chance chose two crowd members to come onstage to sing backup on "Don't You Just Know It." On subsequent numbers -- "Banana Boat (Day-O)" and the Lloyd Price classic "Personality" -- he had the crowd hand-clapping and repeating some of the lyrics. Four theatergoers were summoned as backup singers on "Charlie Brown" after which Chance strolled among the dinner tables, giving high-5s to fans and selecting random individuals sing the phrase "Why's everybody always picking on me?" When presenting a pair of Tom Jones' hits -- "It's Not Unusual" and "I (Who Have Nothing)" -- Larry delivered powerful vocals and likely sang those songs as well as anyone except, perhaps, Jones himself.

    Scottish Tradition Vol.24 1999 NEGLECTED SOURCE MATERIALS ON THE JACOBITE RISINGS hile conducting research for a new biography of John Stuart, 3rd Earl of Bute, I have come Wacross several manuscript collections contain- ing valuable information on the Jacobite rebellions of 1715 and 1745 - material which seems to have been overlooked in the numerous works on Jacobitism that have appeared in recent years.1 The purpose of this article is to draw attention to this material and where appropriate, briefly summarize the more important items in the collection in the hope that scholars will be encouraged to undertake a detailed study of the originals either in microfilm format or by personally visiting the holding institution. The first collection comprises the papers of John Calcraft (1726-1772), on deposit at Dorset County Records Office.2 Deputy Paymaster (1745-1757), Calcraft was well known in high political circles, and his correspondence is a rich resource for contemporary events, both domestic and foreign. Of special interest to those engaged in Jacobite studies is Calcraft’s out- letter book (1745/46), containing letters and notes from General Thomas Wentworth co-commander of the 13 Scottish Tradition Vol.24 1999 government forces mobilized against the Highland army, as well as detailed references to Jacobite military movements. Also important is the out-letter book of Henry Fox (Secretary at War, 1746-1754) which contains much material on various aspects of the ’45 and its aftermath, including letters describing the trial of Lord Lovat. Another important resource is the collection of the papers of Edward Weston (Under-secretary, 1729-46; 1761-4) in the Lewis Walpole Library at Farmington, Connecticut.3 A seasoned professional with extensive connections, Weston devoted much of his correspon- dence to diplomatic matters, and this material has great value previously because of its confidential and informal nature, because he had access to vital information and because the collection contains letters and dispatches unobtainable elsewhere.
