THE MYTHOLOGY, TRADITIONS and HISTORY of Macdhubhsith THE MYTHOLOGY, TRADITIONS and HISTORY OF MacDHUBHSITH ― MacDUFFIE CLAN (McAfie, McDuffle, MacFie, MacPhee, Duffy, etc.) SOME PIONEERS OF OUR CLAN IN PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND, CANADA 1767 – 1881 VOLUME 5 Earle Douglas MacPhee M.M., M.A., M.Educ., LL.D., D.U.C., D.C.L. Emeritus Dean. University of British Columbia Barbara Redd MacPhee B. Ed. This 2010 electronic edition Volume 5 is a scan of the 1978 Volume VII i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS We wish to acknowledge help from many persons and organizations in this study on the "Pioneers" of our Clan of P.E.I. Mr. Brent Wood of Crapaud, who is a genealogist of distinction in the Province; Dr. Walter Shaw, formerly Premier of P.E.I.; the late Seymour Darroch,formerly of Lot 31; Mrs. Eva McNevin of Coleman who has written the story of her family in Lot 9. Mr. Robert Mutch of Mount Herbert, who has allowed us to examine his collection of records. Mrs. Nina Ross who has shared her findings from the earliest journals of the Province. Colonel Pearson of Texas, a retired U.S.A. officer, who has collected over 1600 pages on our Clan genealogy including several families in Lot 31 - 43, and comments on the Big Pond families. Andrew Ingram and his wife Marion. Barbara MacPhee and Jennie MacPhee, who joined Earle MacPhee in an investigation of records of Vital Statistics, cemeteries and Parish Registers, in the summer of 1977. Mrs. Don Campbell and Mrs. Susanna Mercer and families of Alberton for information on Lot 11. Clara Duffy for her contribution entitled "Duffy History", some references to this study are included in our final chapter. Charlotte McPhee and John J. MacPhee for their reports in Chapters X and XI, and Nina Ross for help on Chapter XII. We are very grateful to the University of Toronto Press for permission to use pages 264-269 in the book, "Three Centuries and the Island" by Dr. A. H. Clark (copyright Canada 1959) dealing with the Lot Proprietors. We have also used information from this important book, along with other references included in our Bibliography. We are indebted to the Priests of the churches, Father Dooley of All Saints Church, Father Aylward of St. Alexis, Father Dunphy of St. Columba, Father McTague of St. Georges, and Father Egan of St. Margaret's. We are most grateful to Bishop Spence who advised us to consult the Vital Statistics in the government offices in Charlottetown. The Department of Health, Charlottetown has done what no other Province has done--it obtained the church registers of all denominations, recorded them alphabetically and has made them available to any person at a reasonable cost. We wish to congratulate Mr. McAleer and his research investigator, Mrs. Claire Steadman, and their associates for an outstanding study of children on the Island. This, in our opinion, was unique in Canada. Mrs. Steadman also reviewed Appendix A for its authenticity. ii Dr. Earle MacPhee, the senior author has lost much of his eye sight and it was only the very great assistance of Barbara Redd MacPhee which has enabled this volume to be produced. The senior member had prepared a manuscript which is contained in the "Census Data" and the "Comments" (Parts C and D of each Chapter) and had organized the collection of Vital Statistics. Andrew and Marion Ingram and Barbara R. and Jennie MacPhee collected these data. The actual organization of these data and the supervision of the typing were done by Barbara; and all of the appendices at the end of each chapter and in Chapter 13 were prepared by Barbara. Earle MacPhee had indicated that this volume should be considered Vol. VIII in his recital of the history of our Clan. It is probable that queries which may occur, following the publication of this Volume VIII, should be referred to: Mrs. Barbara R. MacPhee Box 53 Raymond, Alberta TOK 2SO To our typists Dianne Robinson and Valerie Lea, we recognize the contribution of their skill in the presentation of this document. We are most grateful to the Business Education students of the Raymond High School who helped in the correlation of the data and to Mary Dalton Root for her preliminary organization of materials. We thank Irene S. Redd for her interest and concern through the long months of the book's preparation, Ann Turner for help in reading, and others who have assisted in various ways. July 18, 1978 Dr. Earle Douglas MacPhee Barbara Redd MacPhee B. Ed. iii PREFACE Dr. MacPhee has written the first substantive story of our Clan in Scotland. He is writing in this volume, with his niece, Barbara Redd MacPhee, the story of our pioneers in Prince Edward Island. He has also written on the dispersal of our Clan from the Isles and Highlands of Scotland to United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Sweden and South Africa, in the hope that other writers will add, correct and modify the reports included in these volumes. We have repeated in this book a study prepared by Colin S. MacDonald which Dr. MacPhee included in Volume IV of the Series of books on the Clan, of the boats which brought Highlanders and others of our Clan to the Isle of St. John. This was, as far as we know, the most complete documentation of the transfers to this Island of our Clan. He continued his search for other vessels and has included them in this book. We recognize that some of our Pioneers arrived in North America without permission of the British Government; it is also abundantly clear that some persons arrived in Prince Edward Island, moved immediately to the mainland, and to the United States. Some of the research recorded was carried on by Dr. MacPhee over several decades, while he visited his family on the Island. It became obvious in 1975 that the list of the Pioneers was inadequate, and he interested other members of his family in the conclusion of the study. The intention was to discover the birth, death and marriage records of the Pioneers of the Island, and to supplement this by an examination of the graveyards. We do not claim a complete list of the Pioneers. We defined our study as being those persons who were in the Provincial Censuses of 1798-1833-1841 and 1861; and used the Federal Census of 1881 as a check against other opinions. We had hoped that we would discover the names of persons of our Clan who came as emigrants from the Highlands and Islands of Scotland and Ulster; and in addition would add the names of persons who, prior to 1881, had been christened in one or other churchers of the Island – or whose names were given to us with their birth dates. For our book, we have chosen the year 1881 as the end of the Pioneer Era. It might be well to establish an earlier date for Quebec and Ontario; and a much later date, say 1900, for the end of the pioneer story in Western Canada. It is admitted that the Provincial Census of 1798 was inadequate, that the earlier censuses of the 19th Century dealt only with the heads of families; and that the total list of members of the families came at a later date under the Federal Census. iv We have included in this volume: 1. The names of persons who were reported in other volumes on P.E.I. 2. The names of persons recorded by Earle Douglas MacPhee in his family history of the West River MacPhees. 3. The names of persons collected by Colonel Pearson, Mr. Robert Mutch, Mrs. Eva MacNevin, Mrs. Clara Duffy, Mrs. Nina C. Ross, and individual names given by friends and family members. 4. The names of Vital Statistics, Department of Health, Charlottetown. This Department has collected the names of children who were christened, from the beginning of church establishment, and has these recorded names in their vault. We have obtained full information from these records of several hundred persons from our Clan, and had the Department audit our list as it appears in the Appendix of this book. The Department of Health has also provided some data with regards to marriages and deaths. 5. We obtained some information regarding deaths of members by visiting some graveyards. Our information here is quite incomplete, as sandstone was used for early grave markers and many inscriptions were weathered away, and even granite stones were broken. 6. The Parish Registers of some churches were also consulted by Dr. MacPhee and family members We are happy to have recorded some names of our Clan, but we recognize that our study is incomplete, and for very good reasons. Churches were not established when the original Pioneers opened up the Province. Fire has destroyed many of the Registers of the churches. From early days the Prince Edward Island population has moved to other parts of Canada and to the United States; and for these reasons many families will find the total number of children will be incomplete. It has seemed to us that it would be most useful to report information in terms of the original Lots as defined by Captain Holland. There is some duplication in our report, but we have chosen to include all of our records. The reader will recognize that this duplication has been deliberate, in the hope that he will find more information than he would find if we had selected one or other of the records. Under Vital Statistics we recorded five forms of statistics. 1. Vital Statistics record of birth from the Department of Health at Charlottetown appears as Appendix A, and is arranged alphabetically by the name of the child.

  • THE MYTHOLOGY, TRADITIONS and HISTORY of Macdhubhsith
    THE MYTHOLOGY, TRADITIONS and HISTORY OF MacDHUBHSITH ― MacDUFFIE CLAN (McAfie, McDuffie, MacFie, MacPhee, Duffy, etc.) VOLUME 2 THE LANDS OF OUR FATHERS PART 2 Earle Douglas MacPhee (1894 - 1982) M.M., M.A., M.Educ., LL.D., D.U.C., D.C.L. Emeritus Dean University of British Columbia This 2009 electronic edition Volume 2 is a scan of the 1975 Volume VII. Dr. MacPhee created Volume VII when he added supplemental data and errata to the original 1792 Volume II. This electronic edition has been amended for the errata noted by Dr. MacPhee. - i - THE LIVES OF OUR FATHERS PREFACE TO VOLUME II In Volume I the author has established the surnames of most of our Clan and has proposed the sources of the peculiar name by which our Gaelic compatriots defined us. In this examination we have examined alternate progenitors of the family. Any reader of Scottish history realizes that Highlanders like to move and like to set up small groups of people in which they can become heads of families or chieftains. This was true in Colonsay and there were almost a dozen areas in Scotland where the clansman and his children regard one of these as 'home'. The writer has tried to define the nature of these homes, and to study their growth. It will take some years to organize comparative material and we have indicated in Chapter III the areas which should require research. In Chapter IV the writer has prepared a list of possible chiefs of the clan over a thousand years. The books on our Clan give very little information on these chiefs but the writer has recorded some probable comments on his chiefship.

  • Former Fellows Biographical Index Part
    Former Fellows of The Royal Society of Edinburgh 1783 – 2002 Biographical Index Part Two ISBN 0 902198 84 X Published July 2006 © The Royal Society of Edinburgh 22-26 George Street, Edinburgh, EH2 2PQ BIOGRAPHICAL INDEX OF FORMER FELLOWS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF EDINBURGH 1783 – 2002 PART II K-Z C D Waterston and A Macmillan Shearer This is a print-out of the biographical index of over 4000 former Fellows of the Royal Society of Edinburgh as held on the Society’s computer system in October 2005. It lists former Fellows from the foundation of the Society in 1783 to October 2002. Most are deceased Fellows up to and including the list given in the RSE Directory 2003 (Session 2002-3) but some former Fellows who left the Society by resignation or were removed from the roll are still living. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT Information on the Fellowship has been kept by the Society in many ways – unpublished sources include Council and Committee Minutes, Card Indices, and correspondence; published sources such as Transactions, Proceedings, Year Books, Billets, Candidates Lists, etc. All have been examined by the compilers, who have found the Minutes, particularly Committee Minutes, to be of variable quality, and it is to be regretted that the Society’s holdings of published billets and candidates lists are incomplete. The late Professor Neil Campbell prepared from these sources a loose-leaf list of some 1500 Ordinary Fellows elected during the Society’s first hundred years. He listed name and forenames, title where applicable and national honours, profession or discipline, position held, some information on membership of the other societies, dates of birth, election to the Society and death or resignation from the Society and reference to a printed biography.

Also, stray records found in the Senior Reference Archivist’s office from 1836-1920 in Box 164 and interfiles (bulk 1860) from 2 Hollinger boxes found in the stacks, a portion of which are in Box 164.
