"The Heraldry of the Preface. THE Hamiltons, so far as trustworthy evidence goes, cannot equal in descent either the Stewarts or Douglases, their history beginning about two hundred years later than that of the former, and one hundred years later than that of the latter ; still their antiquity is considerable. In the introduction to the first chapter I have dealt with the suggested earlier origin of the family. The Hamiltons were conspicuous in their loyalty to Queen Mary, and, judging by the number of marriages between members of the different branches, they were also loyal to their race. Throughout their history one hears little of the violent deeds which charac- terised the Stewarts and Douglases, and one may truthfully say the race has generally been a peaceful one. In hereditary honours they have reached the highest rank, having acquired the Dukedoms of Abercorn, Chatelherault, and Hamilton ; the Marquisates of Earldoms of Abercorn, Arran, Abercorn, Clydesdale, and Hamilton ; the Cam- bridge, Clanbrassill (twice), Haddington, Lanark, and Rothes ; the Viscounties of Boyne, Claneboye, Hamilton, Limerick, and Strabane ; the Baronies of Aber- brothwick, Abercorn, Avon, Bargany, Belhaven, Binning, Brancepeth, Claneboye, Holmpatrick, Innerdale, Kilpatrick, Machaneschyre, Melros of Tyninghame, Paisley, Polmont, Stentoun ; also the Baronies of Hamilton of Dalzell, Glenawly, Hambledon, Mountcastle, Strabane, and Wishaw. They have also had fourteen Baronetcies conferred on them. In personal honours they have been Knights of the Garter, Thistle, and St. Patrick, and also of all the lower orders of Knighthood. The standard history of the family is John Anderson's Historical and Genea- logical Memoirs of the House of Hamilton, published 1825, but its author admits that many of the accounts of the smaller branches are not to be trusted owing to " the suspicious assertions of family vanity and doubtful tradition." In this work, where no better account was to be found, I have in the main followed Anderson, correcting and supplementing his account wherever possible, giving my authority for doing so. One reason for following the House of Hamilton is that many of the Armorial Bearings appear to have been granted on the assumption that the pedigrees there given were correct. — PREFACE ARMS. The distinguishing Arms of the family are a red shield charged with three argent or ermine cinquefoils, generally pierced. By referring to the Plates it will be observed that the cadets usually differenced by adding a small charge in the centre of the shield. HAMILTON BOOKS. In addition to Anderson's work above referred to are : (i.) George Chalmers' Hamilton Family, 1807. (2.) Wm. Aiton's An Enquiry into the Pedigree, Descent, etc., of tlie Chiefs of the Hamilton Family, 1827. (3.) T. R. Buchanan's Memoirs of the House of Hamilton, 1828. (4.) J. Riddell's Reply thereto, 1828.

Sir William Fraser's Memorials of the Earls of Haddington, 1889. See also Douglas' Peerage and Baronage, Scots Peerage, etc. In order to save space I have dealt with the males alone, and I have omitted courtesy titles. In conclusion, I have to thank Sir James Balfour Paul, Lord Lyon, for allowing me to consult the Records in the Lyon Office ; Mr F. J. Grant, Lyon Clerk, for valuable assistance ; and Mr W. Rae Macdonald, for allowing me to examine Hamilton Seals in his possession, accounts of which have not yet been published. G. H. J. Edinburgh, November iqo8. Contents. PAGE CHAP.

    The Four Iron Steamships of William Alexander Lewis Stephen Douglas – Hamilton

    The Four Iron Steamships of William Alexander Lewis Stephen Douglas – Hamilton. KT 12th Duke of Hamilton, 9th Duke of Brandon, 2nd Duke of Châtellerault Second Edition. 1863 Easton Park, Suffolk, England (Demolished 1925) Hamilton Palace, Scotland (Demolished 1927) Brian Boon & Michel Waller Introduction The families residing in the village of Easton, Suffolk experienced many changing influences over their lives during the 92 year tenure of four generations of the Hamilton family over the 4,883 acre Easton Park Estate. The Dukes of Hamilton were the Premier Dukedom of Scotland, owning many mansions and estates in Scotland together with other mining interests. These generated considerable income. Hamilton Palace alone, in Scotland, had more rooms than Buckingham Palace. Their fortunes varied from the extremely wealthy 10th Duke Alexander, H.M. Ambassador to the Court of the Czar of Russia, through to the financial difficulties of the 12th Duke who was renowned for his idleness, gambling and luxurious lifestyle. Add to this the agricultural depression commencing in 1870. On his death in 1895, he left debts of £1 million even though he had previously sold the fabulous art and silver collections of his grandparents. His daughter, Mary, then aged 10 inherited Easton and the Arran estates and remained in Easton, with the Dowager Duchess until 1913 when she married Lord Graham. The estates were subsequently sold and the family returned to Arran. This is an account of the lives of the two passenger paddle steamers and two large luxury yachts that the 12th Duke had built by Blackwood & Gordon of Port Glasgow and how their purchase and sales fitted in with his varying fortunes and lifestyle.

  • Ireland: an Island of Cultural Variety

    1 INTRODUCTION IRELAND: AN ISLAND OF CULTURAL VARIETY Throughout its history, Ulster, the northern province of Ireland, has been a place where many different peoples have left their influence. In the last millennium Vikings, Anglo-Normans, Huguenots, Moravians, Italians, Jews and many others have settled here. The strongest cultural influences, however, have been English, Irish and Scottish, a triple blend that has given Ulster its distinctive character. At the narrowest part, only 13 miles separate Ulster – Ireland’s northern province – and Scotland. The sea has been a bridge rather than a barrier. Almost 2 million people make the crossing by ferry every year. THREE NAMES FOR THE SAME PEOPLE Ulster-Scots, Scotch-Irish and Scots-Irish are three names for a people whose origins can be traced to Scotland. In Ulster, where they settled in large numbers in the 1600s, they are known as the Ulster-Scots. In America, they are known as the Scotch-Irish or Scots-Irish. All three terms have a long pedigree – the earliest recorded use of ‘Scotch-Irish’ can be found in Maryland in 1690. THE SCOTCH-IRISH AND AMERICA Over the centuries Scotch-Irish families have travelled to every corner of the globe in search of new lives and new opportunities. In the United States their influence has been huge and their legacy includes pioneers, presidents, military commanders, religious leaders, educators, philanthropists Only two names appear on the printed Declaration of Independence. and giants of industry and commerce. John Hancock is thought to have had County Down ancestry, while Charles Thomson was born in County Londonderry.

IT has been no part of my intention in compiling these lists entitled "The Bench and Bar of Philadelphia," to give a history of the organization of the Courts, but merely names of Judges, with dates of their commissions; Lawyers and dates of their ad- mission, and lists of other persons connected with the administra- tion of the Laws in this City and County, and in the Province and Commonwealth. Some necessary information and notes have been added to a few of the lists. And in addition it may not be out of place here to state that Courts of Justice, in what is now the Com- monwealth of Pennsylvania, were first established by the Swedes, in 1642, at New Gottenburg, nowTinicum, by Governor John Printz, who was instructed to decide all controversies according to the laws, customs and usages of Sweden. What Courts he established and what the modes of procedure therein, can only be conjectur- ed by what subsequently occurred, and by the record of Upland Court.
