THE HOUSE OF DUNLAP by The Reverend James Arthur MacClellan Hanna, A. B., B. D. Minister of the Oak Hill and Horeb Presbyterian Churches, Oak Hill, Ohio - With Illustrations - Copyright, 1956, by the Reverend James Arthur MacClellan Hanna Portions of this work may be reproduced upon request from the author First Impression Lithoprinted in U.S.A. EDWARDS BROTHERS, INC. Ann Arbor, Michigan Family: DUNLAP Arms: Azure, an eagle displayed with two heads argent, holding in the dexter paw a sceptre and in the sinister a rose proper within a bordure of the second, charged with cinquefoils and mullets alternately of the field. Interpretation: The arms or shield is blue (azure) and on this is an eagle with two heads and wings wide apart (displayed) and silver (argent) in its right (dexter) paw is a sceptre and in the left (sinister) is a rose and these items are to be in natural or prop- 1er tinctures and they are within a bordure of the second tincture mentioned (silver) and on this silver is a charge of cinquefoils and stars (mullets) arranged alternately and they are to be of the tincture of the main p~rt of the shield-the field. This is blue. (Authority; Burke's, "General Armory" London.) The eagle is the king of all heraldic fowl with a long symbolic ancestory of warfare and divine power. The double head is a symbol of power over the east and the west. Of course the sceptre represents ruling authority and the rose is for peace. A border was granted on which are five-leaved flowers (cinquefoils) and mullets (stars). Such items of design were frequent as indicating differencing (between families such as sons of the head family). When warranted tinctures were granted to the first one to receive the coat of arms according to the man's chara~teristics. For instance, silver represented sincerity and peace; blue was for loyalty and truth. The official record does not show a crest registered for this family. The very oldest heraldic designs did not have such registered. To the arms the knightly helmet and mantle or robe has been added. These are arranged like they were frequently seen in Days-Of-Old, when our knightly ancestor would hang his shield on a wall peg, then his helmet on the same peg over the shield and lastly he draped his battle torn cloak over the helmet with the ends falling down around the helmet. Our heraldic ancestors were very proud of their coats of arms for they were a mark of social distinction. Without such an honor a man, "Was no gentleman" and of course his wife was no lady as families were rated in those days. So, frame this coat of arms > well and hang it proudly as a document of family history. Compiled by, A. Vernon Coale ~ P. 0.

    Clan Macpherson, 1215 - 1550 How the Macphersons acquired their Clan Lands and Independence Reynold Macpherson, 20 January 2011 Not for sale, free download available from www.reynoldmacpherson.ac.nz Clan Macpherson, 1215 to 1550 How the Macphersons acquired their traditional Clan Lands and Independence Reynold Macpherson Introduction The Clan Macpherson Museum (see right) is in the village of Newtonmore, near Kingussie, capital of the old Highland district of Badenoch in Scotland. It presents the history of the Clan and houses many precious artifacts. The rebuilt Cluny Castle is nearby (see below), once the home of the chief. The front cover of this chapter is the view up the Spey Valley from the memorial near Newtonmore to the Macpherson‟s greatest chief; Col. Ewan Macpherson of Cluny of the ‟45. Clearly, the district of Badenoch has long been the home of the Macphersons. It was not always so. This chapter will make clear how Clan Macpherson acquired their traditional lands in Badenoch. It means explaining why Clan Macpherson emerged from the Old Clan Chattan, was both a founding member of the Chattan Confederation and yet regularly disputed Clan Macintosh‟s leadership, why the Chattan Confederation expanded and gradually disintegrated and how Clan Macpherson gained its property and governance rights. The next chapter will explain why the two groups played different roles leading up to the Battle of Culloden in 1746. The following chapter will identify the earliest confirmed ancestor in our family who moved to Portsoy on the Banff coast soon after the battle and, over the decades, either prospered or left in search of new opportunities.

The syllabus constitutes no part of the opinion of the Court but has been prepared by the Reporter of Decisions for the convenience of the reader. See United States v. Detroit Timber & Lumber Co., 200 U. S. 321, 337. SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES Syllabus MCDONALD ET AL. v. CITY OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, ET AL. CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SEVENTH CIRCUIT No. 08–1521. Argued March 2, 2010—Decided June 28, 2010 Two years ago, in District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U. S. ___, this Court held that the Second Amendment protects the right to keep and bear arms for the purpose of self-defense and struck down a Dis- trict of Columbia law that banned the possession of handguns in the home. Chicago (hereinafter City) and the village of Oak Park, a Chi- cago suburb, have laws effectively banning handgun possession by almost all private citizens. After Heller, petitioners filed this federal suit against the City, which was consolidated with two related ac- tions, alleging that the City’s handgun ban has left them vulnerable to criminals. They sought a declaration that the ban and several re- lated City ordinances violate the Second and Fourteenth Amend- ments. Rejecting petitioners’ argument that the ordinances are un- constitutional, the court noted that the Seventh Circuit previously had upheld the constitutionality of a handgun ban, that Heller had explicitly refrained from opining on whether the Second Amendment applied to the States, and that the court had a duty to follow estab- lished Circuit precedent.

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.

    NOTES AND DOCUMENTS Thomas Paine's Response to Lord North's Speech on the British Peace Proposals Thomas Paine, whose book Common Sense proposed the formation of a "declaration for independence'* and stirred thousands to the cause of inde- pendence in 1776, supported the cause throughout the war effort with his American Crisis series of pamphlets and numerous newspaper publications. The newspapers played a crucial role in the American Revolution by supply- ing a war of words, which kept the colonists focused on their goal of inde- pendence. The printers had become active participants early in the war par- tially due to their anger at the British Stamp Act, which taxed newspapers.1 Writers, using multiple pseudonyms to mask their identities and produce an appearance of greater numbers, produced poems, essays, and letters for the newspapers to combat loyalists as well as the pernicious effects of fear and ignorance among the colonists.2 Paine's use of pseudonyms kept some of his newspaper contributions from being identified for many years. In 1951 A. Owen Aldridge identified a number of pieces, including an article written by Paine in York, Pennsyl- vania, on June 10,1778, and published in the Pennsylvania Gazette on June 13, 1778, signed "Common Sense," which had not been included in the published canon of Paine's writings.3 Similarly, it appears that Paine contrib- uted a letter and associated commentary in the April 25,1778, "Postscript" edition of the Pennsylvania Packet^ published in Lancaster, which has also been overlooked.
