| 1107 | (Research):The Bonhill area is mentioned in a charter of 1225 giving the monks from Paisley Abbey fishing rights on the east bank of the River Leven at the Linbrane pool. Bonhill Parish was noted in a charter of 1270 as "the parish of Buthehille", and the name became Bonyle about 1550, with the variants Binnuill, Bonuil and Bonill appearing before Bonhill was adopted by 1700. In 1650 this small poor parish was enlarged, and since then the Parish has included most of the towns and villages in the Vale of Leven. | Lindsay, Patrick 2nd Lord of Bonhill (I70186)
|
| 1108 | (Research):The Colquhouns were feuding with the MacFarlanes, the MacGregors, and the Buchanans. In order to settle the Buchanan feud, Alexander Colquhoun married the daughter of Sir George Buchanan of that Ilk, Helen Buchanan. That seems to have finally settled affairs betwixt the 2 clans. The marriage contract was signed on 25 Oct 1596. Alexander Colquhoun died on 23 May 1617. Alexander Colquhoun and his wife, Helen Buchanan had 6 sons and 5 daughters (listed as males first, then females): 1. John, who succeeded him and was created a baronet. 2. Humphrey of Balvie, who inherited the Colquhoun estate at Balvie from his father. 3. Alexander 4. Walter, who with his brother, George, moved to Sweden and became cannon makers to King Adolphus Gustavus. 5. Adam, who inherited the lands in Ireland 6. George, who went to Sweden. See Walter. 7. Jean, who married Allan, 5th Lord Cathcart in 1626. She remarried upon his death to Sir Duncan Campbell, Baronet, of Auchinbrecht. Her 3rd husband was Sir William Hamilton, Knight, and 3rd son of James, Earl of Abercorn. 8. Nancy, who married a McAuley and moved to Ireland. 9. Katharine, who married Sir John Mure of Auchindraine, Knight. 10. Helen 11. Mary | Buchanan, Lady Margaret Helen (I70210)

| 1110 | (Research):The Lindsays of Bonhill became almost as Celtic in blood as were their neighbors, the Colquhouns and McAuleys, with whom they intermarried. Moreover, they held hereditarily a Celtic offic, the Toscheagorship of the Lennox. But they were not so numerous in themselves, and their lands could not have supported such a following as would make them a body to be reckoned with. NOTE: We don't know much about Christian Lindsay. She is referred to in Colquhoun sources as Lady Christian Lindsay of Bonniel, Scotland. Bonniel is a corruption of the town name, Bonhill, aka Ballul. AND being the daughter of a Lord, she would not have been "Lady", but simply "Miss." but she married into nobility and therefore was able to use such a title. I found a reference to Adam Colquhoun "who married a daughter of Lindsay of Bonhill"...Bonhill is a town in the Vale of Leven area of West Dunbartonshire, Scotland. It is sited on the Eastern bank of the River Leven, on the opposite bank from the larger town of Alexandria. This makes total sense! The Lord Lindsay of Bonhill at that time was Mungo Lindsay (also known as Kentigern or Quentin), who died in 1641. He became the 7th Lord of Bonhill in 1604. So this should be Christian's father. Her mother would have been Mungo's wife, Marion McAulay, daughter of Walter McAulay of Ardencaple. This Bonhill is a town and parish that abuts Luss...so that would make Christian Lindsay the girl next door. History of the Colquhouns and the Irish Land Grant: In 1616, Sir Alexander Colquhoun of Luss, was gifted land in Ireland from the King. He was given a portion of 1000 English acres, in the precinct of Portlough, Barony of Raphoe, County of Donegal, Ireland, which became known as the Manor of Corkagh. His obligations as to the Irish lands were that 1) he would annually pay the King (after the 1st two years), ?5, 6 shillings, 8 cents; 2) make upon the land within 2 years a strong Court or Bawn; 3) have ready in his house at all times a convenient store of arms, with which to furnish a competent number of men for their defense; 4) Place, within 2 years, a competent number of English or inland Scots tenants upon his portion; 5) Be present, or place someone to be present, for 5 years upon the property; and 6) Enter a bond of ?200 for due performance of these conditions. Alexander sent his daughter, Nancy, and her husband, John McAuselan (younger son of the Baron McAuselan), to live on the land and to develop it to the standards of the Crown. In Alexander's first will, he gave the Irish inheritance of Corkagh Manor to Nancy and John McAuselan, but just before his death (in fact on 16 May 1617), Alexander changed his will to give over the land to his son, Adam, instead. Alexander Colquhoun died on 23 May 1617. Regardless of the disappointment on not inheriting Corkagh, Nancy and John continued living at the Manor and managing it for Adam Colquhoun (Nancy's brother). The new Laird of Luss, Nancy's brother, John... realizing what expenses Adam we have at Corkagh, agreed upon a sufficient provision for his brother Adam, to maintain the Estate. Acting under a Royal Commission, Captain Nicholas Pynner made a visit to Corkagh in late 1618, and said this: The Precinct of Portlough, appointed to Scottish undertakers, 1000 acres...the Laird of Luss hath 1000 acres called Corkagh. Upon this land there is a Bawne of clay and stone, 60 feet square, 10 feet high with 2 flankers and a poor house within it, which is thatched. I find planted and estated upon this land: 2 Freeholders, one having 300 acres, one having 100 acres; 3 Lessees, one having 330 acres, one having 300 acres, one having 195 acres; 5 Cottagers. Each of these have a house and garden plot. Total: 10 families, who with their undertenants are able to make 26 men, wherof 5 of the best have taken the Oath of Supremacy. Adam Colquhoun married Christian Lindsay of Bonhill (sometimes Bonniel or Ballul) in about 1621, probably in Dunbartonshire, where they both lived. They had at least 2 children, Robert (born about 1622) and Helen (born about 1625). There may have been other children but they did not survive infancy. Christian Lindsay died about 1629 in Dumbarton, Dunbartonshire. Adam was a merchant there. Shortly after 1629, at the death of Adam Colquhoun's wife, Christian Lindsay, he took his 2 children to Ireland for his sister, Nancy, to raise and look after. In 1630, Adam Colquhoun signed over his Irish Land Grant to his son, Robert Colquhoun. In 1641, Robert married his cousin, Katherine McAuselan, daughter of his aunt and uncle Nancy and John McAuselan. And so the Irish land stayed in the joint Colquhoun-McAuselan family after all.

| 1111 | (Research):The Pooles in Ireland: From Herb Norry: c1709, prior to 1715, the Pooles arrived in Wexford. John and Jacob Poole were heads of households in Gorey, Wexford. In 1720, John, Jacob and William (probably a son of John or Jacob) were heads of households in Gorey, Wexford. Around 1750, some Pooles moved from Gorey, Wexford to Old Ross. Both were Palentine settlements. John Pool of Old Ross had a lease dated 14 Sep 1787 for 7 acres, 2 roods and 8 perches for the duration of the lives of the lessee (age 70 : b.1717), his wife (aged 60: b.1727) and their son William (aged 30: b.1750). A note in 1818 is: Town Park, John Pool's part is for the life of the lessee, aged 70, Anne, his wife aged 60 and their son, aged 30 who is the only life of any value. The Pooles appear to have been good farmers and may have arrived in Ireland with assets because they bought land: Matthew in 1750 John in 1758 Matthew and John in 1761 Rich(ard?) in 1761 Matthew and John in 1789. After the 1798 rebellion several received compensation for losses: *Matthew William *John (would this be John 1?) William Elizabeth John Robert *indicates they received major compensation. There was a Phillip Poole killed during the Rebellion | Poole, John Frederick (I3447)

| 1112 | (Research):The Rev. David Mackay, was the minister of the parish upwards of half a century. Amid the varied trials he was called to bear during a life of eighty-four, and a ministry of more than fifty-one years, the word of God was his support. Perhaps the most remarkable feature in his character was the interest he took in young men of talent, and unwearied efforts he made to bring them forward from humble life, to stations of usefulness and respectability. The land-owners of this parish are; Sir John Gordon Sinclair of Murkle, Bart., the Duke of Sutherland; Major Innes of Sandside; James Sinclair of Forss; and Captain Macdonald of Shebster. | McKay, Hugh (I49165)

| 1113 | (Research):The story of the Frank Slide - http://www3.sympatico.ca/goweezer/canada/frank4.htm It is interesting that I cannot find birth records for any of this family although baptisms may exist. I have some thought that Mary Ann who was born 4 months after Isabella marriage to William may have been James' child as registered on her death certificate but was raised by Isabella. James seems to have preferred the military life and may have been involved in travel and training/management with them. It is interesting that Lucy's death certificate also lists James as her father. Could it be that James and Isabella had a relationship, Mary Ann was on her way, and William stepped in to marry Isabella because James was elsewhere? Could this be where the dual name James William started to appear in the records? What became of William? William mysteriously disappears, never to be found. James cannot marry Isabella because William's death is not known or recorded. The census taker in 1871 is confused and enters both names? Where a mother's name is recorded on most of the children's death certificates, some do not mention a father. I think the true story will never be known, lost in family/community lore, maybe whispered about but never formally acknowledged. | Warrington, James (I29703)

See following notes for John Miller, Bathurst. Bathurst, Concession 3 Lot 30 W, 100 acres. He fulfilled settlement requirements as military settler on 18 Apr 1819. or Bathurst Concession 1 Lot 11 NE, 100 acrs. He fulfilled settlement requirements 10 Jun 1819. Determination of Which John Miller belongs with my Family The John Millers of Lanark and Dalhousie township Background I have never been able to match the multiple 'John Miller(ar)s who emigrated to Lanark and Dalhousie township to John, son of William and Elizabeth and other family members who emigrated in 1820-21. Did John arrive with the family? If so was he married? Did he arrive in 1820 and if so, John's wife and child(ren) accompany William and Elizabeth in 1821? A review of on-line trees does not reveal any clues indicating others have not found an answer to these questions. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lanark and Dalhousie Townships Conclusions: 1.John Miller with a wife and six children settled on Lanark Township C2 L22 and not Dalhousie C2 L22. 2.This is unlikely 'my' John Miller. If born in 1789, it would be unlikely for him to have married before 1809, and although possible, unlikely to have travelled with six children. Lanark Township C2 L22 In 1820 John Miller receives this grant of 100 acres 24th July 1821. Charles Rankin listed him as indebted to the British government in October 1829. In 1834, John Miller is identified as the settler associated with this lot which is described as stony and swampy. It is noted that he has two sons in western Ontario. In 1838 John Miller states that he was located many years ago on this lot and it was barren and request permission to relinquish and select 100 acres of land elsewhere. John Miller does not appear on this land in 1842, nor could he be found on land in the townships in the study area (Lanark, Dalhousie, Bathurst, Burgess). John Miller did not receive the patent to this land. Dalhousie Township C2 L22 In the same document as noted for Dalhousie C2 L21*, John Miller is located on C2 L22, 100 acres on 24 July 1821. A second John Miller is noted as settling on C3 L21E on 25 July 1821. In some documents, the settlement of Dalhousie C2 L22 has been associated with John Miller, North Albion Society, arrived on the ship Commerce in 1821. He was accompanied by a wife and six children, 2 males over twelve years, one female over twelve years, one male under twelve years, two females under twelve years. However, it is more likely those who associated John Miller with wife and six children located on Lanark Concession 2 Lot 22 are correct. William Graham, head of this group did not sail, and John Miller led this group which included three families. Two other members of group, Peter Baxter, located on Lanark C3 Lot 13, and John Parker located on Lanark C4 L4. C. Bennett also makes note that 'J. Miller has two sons in Western Ontario' which also appears in the notes about Lanark C2 L22 above which suggests confusion as to the township associated with this land allocation. John Miller did not receive the patent for this property. Dalhousie Township C3 L21 E John Miller arrived in 1821, a member of the Cambuslang Society, on the George Canning with three children, 2 sons under twelve, 1 daughter under twelve. (other Miller family members on this ship but in the Glasgow Canadian Society). The ship sailed on 14 Apr 1821 and arrived at Quebec on 2 Jun 1821. The settlers proceeded to Montreal aboard the Lady Sherbrooke. John Miller settled on lot C3L21E, 100 acres, on 25 July 1821, the same day as his father and brothers. He can be matched to settler #495 in the Location Report of Settlers. These records indicate it was Concession 3 Lot 21 E not concession 2. Baptismal and Marriage Records of Presbyterian Churches in Dalhousie and Lanark Townships, Lanark County, Ontario, J.R. Ernest Miller and Robert E. Sargeant. 1989. John Miller's son, John Miller was baptised on 24 May 1833. In 1834 Col. Marshall notes that the lot is vacant and 'Miller gone thirteen years, no information'. The lot is hilly and rocky. John Miller did not receive the patent for this property. In previous research This was believed to be John Miller, born 1794, who settled near Morristown, St Lawrence County, New York. See John Miller #4061 who married Catherine Young. Current research suggest this is not John Miller 1789. Dalhousie Township C2 L21 No record of this lot being assigned in 1821*. He may have moved to this lot after the settlement year but no records to support this was found. Col Marshall associates John Miller with this land in 1834. He describes this lot as half the lot is middling, the remainder is indifferent, timber maple, elm, beech, hemlock, basswood on ridge, cedar & tamarack in swamp. Will Purchase ?2 per acre. Two miles to mill. Unimproved value ?0. 3. John Miller did not obtain the patent to this property. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MILLAR JOHN CATHARINE YOUNG/FR190 (FR190) 07/12/1816 627 10 / 308 CAMBUSLANG I have tracked this family in great detail as it was suggested as a possiblity by Chares McPherson in 2014. I have recently been able to confirm that Catharine's father, John Young, settled in Ramsay township, Lanark County concession 1 Lot 15E. I have now determined that John Miller(ar) was the son of John Miller and Isobell Brown and was born 9 Nov 1794 in Old Monkland or Coatbridge, Lanarkshire, Scotland. The fact that Catherine's father was among the assisted settlers leads me to believe that John and Catherine were also. However, John may have been among those who initially sought employment on the canals, or was in search of better land because he appears on the US census for 1830. Others - less likely John, (age?) was possibly in Hennipen Co, Minnesota, in 23 Aug 1870, Minneapolis ward 3, pg. 40, in lumbering, with Mary, 50. Also listed on page are: Sarah Gilmour, 29, 1841, England Henry Gilmour, 14, 1856 Roxanna Miller, 50, 1820, Canada Mary Connley Miller, 14, 1856, Minnesota William Connley Miller, 11, 1859, Minnesota. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Did John even come to Canada? Yes Inspection Report of Bathurst District Clergy Reserves in 1828, Charles Rankin also Canadian Land Patent (CLP) Inspection Report Bathurst District 1840 Searched for: Report nothing found at this time, need to revisit this info Looking at possible Scotland marriages for John Miller It is probable that John did not marry before his 20th birthday in 1809. I could not find a trace of children for most of these couples suggesting emigration or military service in Ireland.

The troops then signed on as mercenaries, to be paid by the British. They fought in the Napoleonic Wars (1803-1815), mainly around the Mediterranean, and were based in Malta and then in Egypt from 1801 to 1803, fighting in Sicily and Naples. The regiment fought and won the Battle of Maida, in Italy in July 1806. From 1811 to 1813 the unit served under Wellington in the Peninsular War in Spain, and defending Cadiz in the Siege of C?adiz. The regiment sailed to Canada in 1813 to fight in the War of 1812.

He married MARY __??__. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- rom The *VERMONT* Historical Magazine, "Dummerston," p. 45: Guess it's not obvious ENOUGH. NOT THE SON OF JOHN MILLER JR. AND AGNES CAMPBELL!!! The Millers, of Scotland, were of Saxon origin, and followed the leadership of Edward, who conquered the Picts and founded Edinburgh, A.D. 449. The history of the family is rather obscure, until about the year 1600, when the country was distracted by civil war, assuming a religious character between Protestantism and Catholicism. The Millers took sides with the Protestants, and later with the Presbyterians or Covenanters, when persecuted by James the First, in his efforts to establish Episcopacy. The laws against Presbyterianism were so arbitrary that it led to great disorder and opposition by the inhabitance, and many personal encounters passed between the liberty-loving Scots and the minions of the king, in the enforcement of obnoxious laws. The name of James Miller is found twice recorded in a list of those who paid fines for transgressing the laws in the city of Edinburgh, ... [for account see VHM, p. 45]. The oppresion of the Covenanters led many to seek the shores of America where they could worship God without restraint. "Senior" Miller and his son, James, emigrated from Edinburgh about 1660.

According to "Places in Ontario: Their Name Origins and History", on p. 161 re Palmerston township in Frontenac County "Palmerston Townshipis located in the northeast of Frontenac County, bordered by Lanark County to the east and Calrendon township to the west. It is bisected from west to east by the Mississippi River. It was named after the Third Viscount, Lord Palmerston. The land was opened up in 1822 and the survey completed in 1861. As the area is Canadian Shield and unsuited for agriculture, settlement was much later than in the south of the County.The first settlers who were mainly transient lumbermen and their families, had to blaze trails through the bush as there were no roads. Among the first permanent settlers were Mr. and Mrs. James Millar in 1846. In 1859 the completion of the Snow Road opened up the southeastern part of the township and in 1862 the first school was built at the village of Snow Road with William Hannah as the teacher. Snow Road grew in importance with the opening of a station on the new Kingston and Pembroke Railway in 1883. Among the early industries were the production of maple syrup, mixed farming, lumbering, and iron products from the Robertsville Iron Mining Company. Today tourism is the main industry, especially around Ompah on the shore of Trout Lake (now Palmerston Lake).Palmerston is united for municipal purposes with North and South Canonto. The combined permanent population of these townships is less than 500." From "The Canadian Mississippi River" by Hilda Geddes, at p. 84-85: "The hamlet of Snow Road is situated on the north side of Millar's Lake, on Highway 509, in Palmerston township...In the early days the hub of Snow Road was the station area where the general store and post office were also located....Snow Road was a busy spot during the 1920s and '30s. Pulpwood was being shipped by the farmers from as far away as Watson's Corners. It was hauled by horses and sleighs, coming up Dalhousie Lake on the ice, up the Hydro hill, up the Mississippi River to Baflour's turn and thence to the station at Snow Road. It was common to see as many as 50 or more teams coming in hauling pulpwood and various other types of wood. Needless to say, there was pulpwood piled all over the place. This pulpwood was later loaded into box cars and shipped out on the K. and P. to both Canadian and foreign destinations. Maple syrupwas another large export every spring...There was more syrup shipped from Snow Road than anywhere else in the Dominion of Canada." From the book "The Centenary of the Presbyterian Church of Canada, 1875-1975, Historical Sketch of McDonalds Corners, Snow Road and Elphin", Page 62: Mrs. Jas. Lett Remembers--Mr. and Mrs. Millar were the first owners of her farm--being given a crown deed by John Playfair in 1846. Two families have owned this farm, Millars and Letts, except for4years when it was farmed but not occupied. ............ Hugh Adams and Jas. Millar traded farms because Mrs. Adams was afraid of the Indians who camped nearby at the "Green Landing", or what was then known as"The Indian Lot". "Page 84 says the land was registered March 20, 1858. Quoted from The Perth Courier, August 7, 1936: "THE HISTORY of SNOW ROAD and McLAREN'S DEPOT. A paper prepared and read by Miss Maude Walker at the July meeting of the Snow Road Women's Institute: This locality was known by the name of Palmerston in its early days, which is the name of the township unto the present day. The first white settler was Robert Wilson, who came in about the year 1833, but the Indians were hostile towards him and he didn't want to stay. James Millar and his brother Thomas were next to come in 1840. James Millar traded his farm in Sherbrooke with Mr. Wilson, as he was friends with the Indians and they did not molest him. Mr. Millar's descendants lived on the same farm until the year 1914. James Lett is the present owner......" James drowned in the Mississippi River while delivering mail. James was first buried at the Green Landing in Snow Road, and was later moved to the Crawford Cemetery, McDonalds Corners, Ontario, cemetery plot #83.

An explanation of the land survey method for Lots/Concessions can be found here: http://david.mclaren.name/family_farms.htm W ?a of Lot 1, Concession 4 Township of Lanark West half of Lot 1 in 4th Concession '96 100 acres East part of Lot 1 in 3rd Concession '96 50 acres Family farm Posted 28 Mar 2014 by david_j_mclaren Sometime during the year 1820 [my records indicate July of 1821] there arrived among a group of pioneers from Scotland, John McLaren, who with his family had come to Canada to find a home in the New land. After arriving in Perth he pushed onward to Lanark Village, then only a cluster of huts on the banks of the Clyde. John McLaren took up location about one mile east of Lanark Village and built himself a log shanty where the present barn now stands. Later as he carved out his farm from the forest and grew more prosperous, he built a more substantial log house which still withstands wind and weather one hundred and twenty years later. Upon the death of John McLaren the farm passed to his son, known as "Little" Peter, who married Mary McDonald from a neighboring township bringing her to her new home on horseback. The farm now consisted of 100 acres in Lot one '96 Concession four '96 and "Little" Peter later acquired fifty acres adjoining in Concession three from one Doctor Wilson who was married to his sister. Peter McLaren had two sons and two daughters [There was a fifth child, daughter Mary, who died in 1871 at age 17.] and upon his death the farm passed to his son Duncan who married Margaret Bowes. [This is not possible, as both Duncan and his wife Margaret predeceased "Little" Peter '96 though Duncan lived and farmed this land with his widowed father for more than three decades prior to Duncan's death.] Their children were Mary, John Peter and Mervin. Of these Mervin and John Peter are now living '96 Mervin in Ottawa, John Peter in British Columbia. In 1903 the farm was purchased by John Roberts. Four years later he erected a new barn to replace the old cluster of log barns and in 1926 built the present home where the family now reside. He married Jenny Dunlop and to them were born eight children, Wm, Elsie, Isobel, Boyd, Mervin, Jennie, Agnes and George now deceased. Mervin now resides at home with his wife and two children, Douglas and Barbara. [Added note, hand written on side of page: Douglas Roberts and his wife Ruby McOwatt and ten children now reside here. In 1991 Douglas and Ruby own the house and Robert Graham part of the farm.] | McLaren, Little Peter (I13331)
