  • FINDING OUR TRUE WILLIAM by Nancy J
    FINDING OUR TRUE WILLIAM by Nancy J. Lawson, 13 Sep 2017 My name is Nancy Jo Lawson from Cross Lanes, West Virginia and I am a descendant of William Lawson of Montrose Scotland. My Lawson line is: William (1733), Travis (1766), John (1791), William Banks (1825), George Washington (1865), John Dolan (1904), and Roy Lee (1935). I started researching my Lawson ancestry after stumbling upon the Lawson Family Heritage Program website in 2007. The LFHP led me to Patti Lawson’s tremendous Lawson Family Database and all the incredible research done by others, especially Bill Porter’s book, William Lawson – A Scottish Rebel (1). Like many descendants of “The Rebel”, I embraced the story of young William of Montrose and his perilous journey to America as a Jacobite prisoner aboard the ship Gildart. And although many more experienced and knowledgeable researchers had already agreed upon this narrative, I wanted to discover the facts for myself. I wanted to experience the excitement of finding those historical records on my own. In 2008 my journey began in earnest by searching in cemeteries and courthouses from Breathitt County, Kentucky to Scott County, Virginia. I wasn’t really looking for anything new; I was just following a trail that many others had traveled before me. While I have been able to confirm much of what is already known about our William, there are two facts stated by many that I have not been able to reconcile. The first is that his birth year was 1731. In History of the Wood Family in Virginia, by M.

The tenants live there, rent and rate free and receive a small pension. Funds are urgently required to complete a further ten Houses. Earlier houses, established 1915 which comprised the Bums House (in which the poet and Jean Armour began housekeeping 1788), Dr. John McKenzie's House and 'Auld Nanse Tinnock's' (the 'change-house' of Burns's poem 'The Holy Fair') were purchased, repaired and gifted to the Association by the late Mr. Charles R. Cowie, J.P., Glasgow and, until the new houses at Mossgiel were built, provided accommodation for nine ladies. They are now out-dated as homes but con­ sideration is being given to their being retained by the Association and preserved as a museum.

  • 2. Remembering Strathpeffer.Pdf
    Remembering the Strathpeffer Area: 2. Strathpeffer Photo © Margaret Spark Photo ©Margaret Spark During 2015 people gathered at Strathpeffer Community Centre and Achterneed Hall to remember the physical remains of the Strathpeffer area – Jamestown, Strathpeffer, the Heights, Achterneed and Milnain – focussing on buildings, sites, or monuments which were new, modified or no longer there. They built on previous sessions which had begun to look at Strathpeffer. Using old maps, photographs (some more than a century old), various printed sources, and memories spanning over 80 years, information about over 350 sites was gathered. Some pupils from the school joined us as well for Strathpeffer sessionsas part of their project investigating World War II. This report summarises the results of the meetings focussing on Strathpeffer, including Kinellan. The details have also been forwarded to heritage databases: the Highland Council Historic Environment Record (HER) (her.highland.gov.uk) and Historic Environment Scotland’s Canmore (canmore.org.uk) where they will provide valuable new information about the heritage of the area. The 2015 sessions were part of a project organised by ARCH and Strathpeffer Community Centre, and funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund and the Mackenzie New York Villa Trust. Funding for the smaller projects in previous years was provided by Generations Working Together and High Life Highland. Thanks also to the Highland Museum of Childhood for allowing us to see text panels from their 2009 ‘Hands Across the Sea’ exhibition. But most of all thanks to everyone who has shared their memories and photographs, often braving difficult weather. Any additions or corrections should be sent to ARCH at [email protected] or The Goods Shed, The Old Station, Strathpeffer, IV14 9DH.

To me, though I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ." (EPH. 3:7, 8, RSV) "The office does not sanctify the man; the man sanctifies the office." (A MINISTER'S OBSTACLES) "Function and not status is of the essence of the Christian ministry." (T. W. MANSON) "If you are to get the preaching that you need, you must think highly, and you must teach your minister to think highly of his sacred office." (BERNARD LORD MANNING) THE MINISTRY IS a calling set apart from other tasks. In the divine providence there is an unfolding of a design and destiny for our lives.
