457	(Research):Abel Ram (1754? 1830), MP for Duleek and for County Wexford Religious Society of Friends - 'Quakers or Friends' Belief in seeking guidance from God directly. Written credal statements limit the interpretation of God and with the passage of time, statements no longer are helpful or relevant. This leads to an atittude of mind that brands questioning of accepted ideas as unbelief, without which progress is impossible. Belief in the honesty, integrity, and the equality of men and women Belief that war is inconsistent with spirit and teachings of Christ. from 1642-1649, England experienced civil war waged over a desire to increase the powers of Parliament and for religious freedom. At that time wages were falling and the poor were being victimized. George Fox (1624-1691) Leicestershire England came from a Presbyterian background and was the leader of the movement. He began preaching in 1647. The first meeting was held in England in 1652 and in Ireland in 1654. By about 1666, the yearly and quaterly meetings were extended to include Ireland. Seven hundred Quakers were imprisoned under Richard Cromwell in 1861 (?). George Fox was imprisoned in 1662. The Act of Tolerance, aimed at ending persecution, was pased in 1689. Battle of Boyne 1690 Rebellion against English rule in Ireland 1690. The Quakers were heavily involved in relief work during the Irish famine 1846-50.	Poole, Jonathan (I23774)
458	(Research):About 1621, Adam Colquhoun married Christian Lindsay, probably in Dunbartonshire, where they both lived. (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!). Other references refer to Christian as being from Bonniel, which is obviously a corruption of Bonhill. 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, young Robert married his cousin, Katherine McAuselan, daughter of his aunt and uncle Nancy and John McAuselan. Calendar of Patent and Close Rolls (1630): Letters of Patent and Denizen, to Robert Colquhoun and grant to Him, his Heirs & Assigns, for ever, as an Undertaker of the Province of Ulster, of the small proportion of Corkagh, in the Precinct of Portlough, Barony of Raphoe, County of Donegal, containing 1000 acres, in Free & Common Soccage; The lands are created into a Manor, to be called the Manor of Corkagh. Thus did Robert Colquhoun come to stand in the place of his grandfather, Sir Alexander, Laird of Luss, as an undertaker of the Province of Ulster, in the year of 1630. And so the Irish land stayed in the joint Colquhoun-McAuselan family after all. Last Changed: November 16, 2022 D Diane Calhoun	Colquhoun, Sir Robert Laird of Colquhoun (I70212)
459	(Research):About 1900, Elizabeth Millar's family is in North Dakota. Married at Buckshot. Her parents are listed as John Miller and Janet Miller. Lanark Era - June 5,1918 - Snow Road, Thurs. May 30th, Mrs. Hugh McKinnon, aged 63 years. Born at Snow Road, the daughter of the late James Miller, Elizabeth Miller, had a family of ten children; Mrs. Geo. Hatt, of Airdrie, Alta. died about 9 years ago; Mrs. Wm. Richards, of Calgary; Mrs. John Lee, Tofield, Alta.; Mrs. Percy Johnston, Fort Pitt, Sask; Mrs. Harry Glover, DeWinton, Alta.; Florence and Edith , at home; Hughie, and James, at Vulcan, Alta.; and Charles, at Fallbrook. She is also survived by three brothers; William Miller, at North Battleford; James, and Thomas, at Snow Road. My Mother was told by a distant aunt that Elizabeth, Hannah, and Alexander's parents were John and Janet Miller. You will note that Hannah lists her parents as John Johnston and Janet Miller. Elizabeth lists them as John and Janet Miller. We were told that Janet re-married - fellow's name was Johnston and Hannah's marriage record seems to confirm this. So their Father John Miller may have died between 1866 (Alexander's birthdate) and 1871 when they appeared in the 1871 census with Robert Brown Millar and Elizabeth Smith. Can find no record for John and Janet's marriage or John Johnston and Janet Miller's marriage.	Millar, Elizabeth (I5807)

468	(Research):Alexander Lindsay, 2nd Earl of Crawford (c. 1387? 1438/1439) was a Scottish magnate. He was the son of David Lindsay, 1st Earl of Crawford and Elizabeth Stewart, daughter of King Robert II and Euphemia de Ross. He was knighted at the coronation of King James I on 21 May 1424, and subsequently was one of the hostages for King James given over to the English from 1424 until November 1427.

She married lastly Sir James Auchinleck of that Ilk (d. 1449), by whom she was the mother of Sir John Auchinleck of that Ilk (d. 1502) among others References	Lindsay, Alexander 2nd Earl of Crawford (I70249)
469	(Research):Alexander Lindsay, 4th Earl of Crawford (1423? 1453) was a late medieval Scottish nobleman, and a magnate of the north-east of that country. Life Alexander Lindsay was the son of David Lindsay, 3rd Earl of Crawford and Marjory Ogilvie, the daughter of Sir Alexander Ogilvie of Auchterhouse. Known as the Tiger Earl or Earl Beardie, Crawford was one of the most powerful of the Scottish nobles. For some time he was in arms against King James II as part of the Douglas rebellion. In February 1452, William Douglas, 8th Earl of Douglas was personally killed at Stirling Castle by James II for refusing to dissolve his league with Alexander. The Tiger Earl was defeated at the Battle of Brechin on 18 May, and he submitted to James II in 1452. J. B. Burke imagined the colourful scene of the earl's submission, thus: The decree of forfeiture, both as to life and lands, which had been passed before, was now renewed and, after having gallantly struggled for a long time against all odds? even after the total defeat and submission of his ally Douglas? he found himself compelled, for the sake of his house and followers, to sue for mercy. In this last extremity it is that all the better parts of his character stand out in full relief; there is neither fear, nor meanness, nor self seeking in his frank and manly prayers for mercy: but, mingled with the courage that we might reasonably look for, is a tenderness for others that we certainly did not expect to find in such a character. For himself, as he boldly tells the king, he was willing to underlie any fate, "either to be hangit [hanged], to be riven with wild beasts, to be drowned, or cassen [cast] over ane craig;" it was not even the sufferings of his dear wife, nor the weeping of his bairns [children], nor the lamentable sobbings of his friends that moved him, so much "as the decay and falling of our House, and lamentable chance and fortune of the noblemen of Angus, with the rest of my adherents, whose lives, lands, and guids [goods] stands in danger for my cause and surname of Lindsay. Have compassion on the noblemen, men that concordit to my faction, that they, at the least, be not spoilzied (spoiled) of their lives and heritages for my offence". The king granted Lindsay clemency, but when he had been angry with the earl, he had sworn he would make the highest stone on Finavon Castle become the lowest. Therefore, to keep his oath while yet remaining true to his grant of clemency, the king climbed to the top of the castle and threw one of the loose stones on the battlements down to the ground below. J. B. Burke recorded that two hundred years later it could still be seen where it had fallen "secured to the spot with a strong chain of iron". Legend has it that he is the infamous "Earl Beardie" featured in one of the myths of Glamis Castle. Marriage and issue Alexander, Earl of Crawford married Margaret Dunbar, daughter of Sir David Dunbar of Cockburn, himself a son of George I, Earl of March, and had issue: Lady Elizabeth Lindsay (died 1509), married to John Drummond, 1st Lord Drummond David Lindsay, 1st Duke of Montrose (1440? 1495) Alexander Lindsay, 7th Earl of Crawford (died 1517). The most important of the early earls of Crawford are the 4th and the 5th earls. Alexander Lindsay, the 4th earl (d. 1454), called the "tiger earl," was, like his father David the 3rd earl, who was killed in 1446, one of the most powerful of the Scottish nobles; for some time he was in arms against King James II., but he submitted in 1452. His son David, the 5th earl (c. 14401 495), was lord high admiral and lord chamberlain; he went frequently as an ambassador to England and was created duke of Montrose in 1488, but the title did not descend to his son.	Lindsay, Alexander Knight, 4th Earl Crawford (I70259)
470	(Research):Alexander Munroe Pulford has been quite a mystery. 1861 and 1871 Censuses of Canada- living with his mom and dad and family in Gosfield, Canada. 1881 Census of Canada - living with his wife and children in Windsor. Working as a clerk. There are several voting records and city directories that list him living in Detroit and Windsor during this time. 1901 - I haven't found him. His wife Ruth Ashby is listed as married but she is living with adult children in Windsor, Ontario. From Findagrave: added by Andre Pulford 1903 Harriet McDonald Pulford's Obituary "six children survive?. A. M. Pulford of Idaho" 1910 US Federal Census - A Monroe Pulford b. 1858 in Missouri, living in McHenry North Dakota. Working as a "servant" says mother/father were from Scotland. 1915 North Dakota State Census - Monroe Pulford in Carrington 1920 Monroe Pulford b. abt 1859 Missouri, "patient" in a hospital in Illinois.

Ruth is buried in Windsor. As far as records go the single American wanderer Monroe Pulford doesn't exist before 1910 and the married Canadian father of five doesn't exist after around 1900. His dad died in 1899 and then his mom died in 1903. I'm think that he left his wife and family around 1900 after his dad died. He travelled around and then died an infirmed indigent in Chicago.

480	(Research):also noted as Craigton Glasgow University Library, Special Collections, Dougan Collection Craigton House, photographed in 1870 by Thomas Annan. The first coal mines are said to have been opened in Craigton and neighbouring Drumoyne in the 16th century, and ironstone was being mined there by the early 19th century. The Glasgow merchant John Ritchie (d 1755) bought the Craigton estate in 1746. It passed on his death to his son James (1722-1799), a leading tobacco merchant and a founding partner of the Thistle Bank in 1761. James' son Henry (d 1843), also a partner in Thistle Bank, sold the estate in 1830 to Henry Dunlop (1799-1867) of James Dunlop & Sons, cotton spinners and manufacturers. Dunlop was Lord Provost of Glasgow 1837-1840 and Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce in 1841, 1850 and 1862. He sold Craigton to Graham Hutchison, merchant in Glasgow, several years before his death. Craigton Cemetery was opened by the Burgh of Govan in 1873. The Craigton housing estate was built 1921-1923.

489	(Research):Although it was understood for years that Melville died of diptheria, it appears that he went to live with and was raised by his grandparents. The year of his death was believed to have been 1893 and may have been the year he moved to his grandparent's home. His siblings do not appear to have known of this relationship although they would have gone to school with him. My grandmother would have been too young to know what was happening. John and Mary Jane lost another child to diptheria and one to drowning around this time and it would have been a very difficult time for the family.	Ashby, Lt. John Melville "Melville" (I4289)

492	(Research):Andrew Wallace & Ellen Fulton, posted 22 May 2014 by Liz Richardsen Andrew Wallace (died about 1844) and his wife Ellen Fulton (1785-1872) were natives of Scotland. About 1820, with their family of 3 children, they left their home in the vicinity of Dumbarton, Scotland, (Stirling??) as emigrants for Canada. They trekked down to Glasglow but due to bad weather, they had to wait for a boat. They made camp on the river bank of Greenock. During the wait, the youngest child died and they buried him ont he banks of the river. They sailed from Greenock in an old battle ship that had been sunk, it was said, during the Napoleonic Wars and later raised and used as a transport for emigrants. Storms and adverse winds made the voyage a tedious one of several weeks duration. Ellen Fulton was pregnant and due to those rough seas, lost the baby. They left this vessel at Quebec (instead of Montreal, again due to poor weather) and came up the St. Lawrence River in batteaux, as far as Prescott. From hence they trekked overland to Perth and into Dalhousie Township, Lanark County, where they settled on land bought from the Government. The family reached this their new home late in December. Andrew Wallace died at the home of his youngest son, William Wallace, about 1844. His remains awere interred in the Presbyterian Cemetary at Kars, North Gower Township. His wife continued to reside with her son, William, who later moved to Perth County. She died January 2nd, 1872, and her remins were interred in Toy's Cemetary in the vicinity of Cromarty. Taking Andrew Wallace and his wife Ellen Fulton as the first generation for this side of the family tree, their family is the second generation, and so far as known as follows: 1. Jean Wallace born January 7th, 1802; married Feb 5th, 1819 to James Brown, native of Rutherglen, Scotland; died June 6th, 1892. This couple did not come to Canada until 1829. 2. Robert Wallace married Elizabeth Callander. He was regarded as the strong man among the Wallace's but received injury lifting the key-stone for a chimney. He lived for a few years after this but never recovered his strength. He died probably around 1832 and his remains were buried in a plot on his father's farm in Dalhousie. 3. James Wallace (1804-1850) married Janet Graham. He came to North Gower with the other members of the family and settled on the east half of Lot 18, concession 3. 4. Hugh Wallace (1807-1844) married Isabella Callander. He settled on the west half of Lot 19, concession 3. 5. John Wallace (1810-1873) married first Jane Muir, second Margaret Tierney, third Mary Montgomery. He settled on the west half of Lot 18, concession 3, North Gower Township. 6. Andrew Wallace was killed in young manhood, by the branch of a tree falling on him while he was engaged in clearing the land. His remains were laid in the same plot as those of his brother, Robert. 7. Margaret Wallace (1814-1857) married William Callander. They too settled in North Gower Township coming about the same time as the Wallace family. 8. Ellen Wallace (1818-1863) married John Craig of Dalhousie. About 1852 John Craig went to Southern Australia and decided to settle there. In 1854 his wife and family joined him. Her descendants remained as settlers in Australia. 9.William Wallace (1825-1904) married Lilias I. Park. He settled on the east half of Lot 19, concession 3 North Gower Township. In the autumn of 1863 he sold this property to his nephew Robert S. Wallace and moved to the vicinity of Cromarty, Perth County and later he moved to Marquette, Michigan, USA.

497	(Research):April 2024 via Ancestry messages Hello Diane, I noticed you have information about the Ralstons from Lanark in your tree. So I thought this might interest you. To my Ralston relatives and family! I am sending this message to people whose family trees contain information about John Ralston (b. 1805 in Cadder parish-d.1889 in Bervie Canada) . An update with information from the Ralston Project's y dna study: Hello, My name is Carrie Ralston and I manage my brother's y dna at the Ralston Project. There has recently been some very interesting progress, and I thought some of you might enjoy an update. My brother's y haplo group is R-FTA49702 which is a subgroup of R-M269. It has also been determined that our Ralston ancestors were unrelated to the well known Ralston group that originated in Paisley, Renfrewshire in Scotland. Results show that our Ralston ancestors were descended from the area just Northwest of Glasgow, and often lived in the parishes of Kirkintilloch, Cadder, Cumbernauld and Kilsyth. The newest discovery: Also, the big news is that we have a close y dna match that strongly suggests our Ralston family is descended from a family of Ralstons that once lived in Mosswater in Kirkintilloch parish.

I would be happy to forward information to you from the Ralston group. We are still working on sorting out who was who among the Raltons. At the Ralston Project, Michael William Ralston has set up our new line of descent for our branch of Ralstons after studying the new y dna connections and mapping the locations of the Ralton families from this area. This new line of descent has taken into account the intermarriages between the Burns family and Raltons from Mosswater in Kirkintilloch. The names of the witnesses in these families' baptisms also support this new line of descent. A clearer picture of our family's history is starting to emerge. I would be happy to update and forward to you more detailed information as it comes. Please let me know, if you are interested. Kind regards Carrie Ralston	Ralston, John (I27215)
498	(Research):Archie attended Kingston Dairy School in Kingston ON before travelling to Edmonton in 1918, He worked at the Woodland Dairy and Edmonton City Dairy before moving to Rossington where he opened a cheese factory across from the Rossington store. While there, he lived on the Brownlie place in a log house on the banks of the Pembina River (NW1/4-14-60-1-W5th). Water was drawn from the Pembina River and there was a lake on the other side of the house. The family moved to Westlock where Archie worked as a cream tester at the Westlock Creamery. After leaving the creamery they moved two miles east of Westlock to the Edison District where Archie farmed and started a dairy business, Rich Valley Dairy, deliverying milk in Westlock. He later moved two and and half miles west of Westlock (Edison district, on banks of Wabsh R.)) where he farmed and carried on his dairy business (Rich Valley Dairy). Milk was delivered seven days a week, and when short, would return to town (Westlock) after the evening milking to make up for the daytime delivery shortage. During his years of milk delivery he collected over 350 bottles from Canadian and USA towns. He gave the collection to Dick Adkins and were displayed at Dick's mini-museum on hwy 18 west of Westlock for many years. Archie originally had a herd of Jersey cows and later switched to Holsteins. After 35 years, Archie retired from the Dairy business in 1959 when he sold to the Northern Alberta Dairy Pool. Archie and his family lived on the banks of the Wabush until his death in 1964. His wife Thelma continued to live there with her family until her death in 1974. In 1984 their daughters Eileen and Lonetta continued to live there with their husbands.	Ashby, Archibald Clark (I4347)

Religious Society of Friends - 'Quakers or Friends'
Belief in seeking guidance from God directly. Written credal statements limit the interpretation of God and with the passage of time, statements no longer are helpful or relevant. This leads to an atittude of mind that brands questioning of accepted ideas as unbelief, without which progress is impossible.
Belief in the honesty, integrity, and the equality of men and women
Belief that war is inconsistent with spirit and teachings of Christ.

from 1642-1649, England experienced civil war waged over a desire to increase the powers of Parliament and for religious freedom. At that time wages were falling and the poor were being victimized.

George Fox (1624-1691) Leicestershire England came from a Presbyterian background and was the leader of the movement. He began preaching in 1647.

The first meeting was held in England in 1652 and in Ireland in 1654. By about 1666, the yearly and quaterly meetings were extended to include Ireland.

Seven hundred Quakers were imprisoned under Richard Cromwell in 1861 (?). George Fox was imprisoned in 1662. The Act of Tolerance, aimed at ending persecution, was pased in 1689.

(Research):About 1621, Adam Colquhoun married Christian Lindsay, probably in Dunbartonshire, where they both lived. (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!). Other references refer to Christian as being from Bonniel, which is obviously a corruption of Bonhill.

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, young Robert married his cousin, Katherine McAuselan, daughter of his aunt and uncle Nancy and John McAuselan.

Calendar of Patent and Close Rolls (1630): Letters of Patent and Denizen, to Robert Colquhoun and grant to Him, his Heirs & Assigns, for ever, as an Undertaker of the Province of Ulster, of the small proportion of Corkagh, in the Precinct of Portlough, Barony of Raphoe, County of Donegal, containing 1000 acres, in Free & Common Soccage; The lands are created into a Manor, to be called the Manor of Corkagh.

Thus did Robert Colquhoun come to stand in the place of his grandfather, Sir Alexander, Laird of Luss, as an undertaker of the Province of Ulster, in the year of 1630.

And so the Irish land stayed in the joint Colquhoun-McAuselan family after all.

(Research):About 1900, Elizabeth Millar's family is in North Dakota. Married at Buckshot. Her parents are listed as John Miller and Janet Miller.

Lanark Era - June 5,1918 - Snow Road, Thurs. May 30th, Mrs. Hugh McKinnon, aged 63 years. Born at Snow Road, the daughter of the late James Miller, Elizabeth Miller, had a family of ten children; Mrs. Geo. Hatt, of Airdrie, Alta. died about 9 years ago; Mrs. Wm. Richards, of Calgary; Mrs. John Lee, Tofield, Alta.; Mrs. Percy Johnston, Fort Pitt, Sask; Mrs. Harry Glover, DeWinton, Alta.; Florence and Edith , at home; Hughie, and James, at Vulcan, Alta.; and Charles, at Fallbrook. She is also survived by three brothers; William Miller, at North Battleford; James, and Thomas, at Snow Road.

My Mother was told by a distant aunt that Elizabeth, Hannah, and Alexander's parents were John and Janet Miller.
You will note that Hannah lists her parents as John Johnston and Janet Miller. Elizabeth lists them as John and Janet Miller. We were told that Janet re-married - fellow's name was Johnston and Hannah's marriage record seems to confirm this. So their Father John Miller may have died between 1866 (Alexander's birthdate) and 1871 when they appeared in the 1871 census with Robert Brown Millar and Elizabeth Smith. Can find no record for John and Janet's marriage or John Johnston and Janet Miller's marriage.

(Research):Alexander Lindsay, 4th Earl of Crawford (1423? 1453) was a late medieval Scottish nobleman, and a magnate of the north-east of that country.

Life
Alexander Lindsay was the son of David Lindsay, 3rd Earl of Crawford and Marjory Ogilvie, the daughter of Sir Alexander Ogilvie of Auchterhouse.

Known as the Tiger Earl or Earl Beardie, Crawford was one of the most powerful of the Scottish nobles. For some time he was in arms against King James II as part of the Douglas rebellion. In February 1452, William Douglas, 8th Earl of Douglas was personally killed at Stirling Castle by James II for refusing to dissolve his league with Alexander. The Tiger Earl was defeated at the Battle of Brechin on 18 May, and he submitted to James II in 1452.

J. B. Burke imagined the colourful scene of the earl's submission, thus:

The decree of forfeiture, both as to life and lands, which had been passed before, was now renewed and, after having gallantly struggled for a long time against all odds? even after the total defeat and submission of his ally Douglas? he found himself compelled, for the sake of his house and followers, to sue for mercy. In this last extremity it is that all the better parts of his character stand out in full relief; there is neither fear, nor meanness, nor self seeking in his frank and manly prayers for mercy: but, mingled with the courage that we might reasonably look for, is a tenderness for others that we certainly did not expect to find in such a character. For himself, as he boldly tells the king, he was willing to underlie any fate, "either to be hangit [hanged], to be riven with wild beasts, to be drowned, or cassen [cast] over ane craig;" it was not even the sufferings of his dear wife, nor the weeping of his bairns [children], nor the lamentable sobbings of his friends that moved him, so much "as the decay and falling of our House, and lamentable chance and fortune of the noblemen of Angus, with the rest of my adherents, whose lives, lands, and guids [goods] stands in danger for my cause and surname of Lindsay. Have compassion on the noblemen, men that concordit to my faction, that they, at the least, be not spoilzied (spoiled) of their lives and heritages for my offence".

The king granted Lindsay clemency, but when he had been angry with the earl, he had sworn he would make the highest stone on Finavon Castle become the lowest. Therefore, to keep his oath while yet remaining true to his grant of clemency, the king climbed to the top of the castle and threw one of the loose stones on the battlements down to the ground below. J. B. Burke recorded that two hundred years later it could still be seen where it had fallen "secured to the spot with a strong chain of iron".

Legend has it that he is the infamous "Earl Beardie" featured in one of the myths of Glamis Castle.

Marriage and issue
Alexander, Earl of Crawford married Margaret Dunbar, daughter of Sir David Dunbar of Cockburn, himself a son of George I, Earl of March, and had issue:

Lady Elizabeth Lindsay (died 1509), married to John Drummond, 1st Lord Drummond
David Lindsay, 1st Duke of Montrose (1440? 1495)
Alexander Lindsay, 7th Earl of Crawford (died 1517).

The most important of the early earls of Crawford are the 4th and the 5th earls. Alexander Lindsay, the 4th earl (d. 1454), called the "tiger earl," was, like his father David the 3rd earl, who was killed in 1446, one of the most powerful of the Scottish nobles; for some time he was in arms against King James II., but he submitted in 1452. His son David, the 5th earl (c. 14401 495), was lord high admiral and lord chamberlain; he went frequently as an ambassador to England and was created duke of Montrose in 1488, but the title did not descend to his son.

Ruth is buried in Windsor. As far as records go the single American wanderer Monroe Pulford doesn't exist before 1910 and the married Canadian father of five doesn't exist after around 1900. His dad died in 1899 and then his mom died in 1903. I'm think that he left his wife and family around 1900 after his dad died. He travelled around and then died an infirmed indigent in Chicago.

Craigton House, photographed in 1870 by Thomas Annan.

The first coal mines are said to have been opened in Craigton and neighbouring Drumoyne in the 16th century, and ironstone was being mined there by the early 19th century. The Glasgow merchant John Ritchie (d 1755) bought the Craigton estate in 1746. It passed on his death to his son James (1722-1799), a leading tobacco merchant and a founding partner of the Thistle Bank in 1761. James' son Henry (d 1843), also a partner in Thistle Bank, sold the estate in 1830 to Henry Dunlop (1799-1867) of James Dunlop & Sons, cotton spinners and manufacturers. Dunlop was Lord Provost of Glasgow 1837-1840 and Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce in 1841, 1850 and 1862. He sold Craigton to Graham Hutchison, merchant in Glasgow, several years before his death.

Craigton Cemetery was opened by the Burgh of Govan in 1873. The Craigton housing estate was built 1921-1923.

(Research):Although it was understood for years that Melville died of diptheria, it appears that he went to live with and was raised by his grandparents. The year of his death was believed to have been 1893 and may have been the year he moved to his grandparent's home. His siblings do not appear to have known of this relationship although they would have gone to school with him. My grandmother would have been too young to know what was happening. John and Mary Jane lost another child to diptheria and one to drowning around this time and it would have been a very difficult time for the family.

(Research):Andrew Wallace & Ellen Fulton, posted 22 May 2014 by Liz Richardsen

Andrew Wallace (died about 1844) and his wife Ellen Fulton (1785-1872) were natives of Scotland. About 1820, with their family of 3 children, they left their home in the vicinity of Dumbarton, Scotland, (Stirling??) as emigrants for Canada.

They trekked down to Glasglow but due to bad weather, they had to wait for a boat. They made camp on the river bank of Greenock. During the wait, the youngest child died and they buried him ont he banks of the river. They sailed from Greenock in an old battle ship that had been sunk, it was said, during the Napoleonic Wars and later raised and used as a transport for emigrants. Storms and adverse winds made the voyage a tedious one of several weeks duration. Ellen Fulton was pregnant and due to those rough seas, lost the baby.

They left this vessel at Quebec (instead of Montreal, again due to poor weather) and came up the St. Lawrence River in batteaux, as far as Prescott. From hence they trekked overland to Perth and into Dalhousie Township, Lanark County, where they settled on land bought from the Government. The family reached this their new home late in December.

Andrew Wallace died at the home of his youngest son, William Wallace, about 1844. His remains awere interred in the Presbyterian Cemetary at Kars, North Gower Township. His wife continued to reside with her son, William, who later moved to Perth County. She died January 2nd, 1872, and her remins were interred in Toy's Cemetary in the vicinity of Cromarty.

Taking Andrew Wallace and his wife Ellen Fulton as the first generation for this side of the family tree, their family is the second generation, and so far as known as follows:

1. Jean Wallace born January 7th, 1802; married Feb 5th, 1819 to James Brown, native of Rutherglen, Scotland; died June 6th, 1892. This couple did not come to Canada until 1829.

2. Robert Wallace married Elizabeth Callander. He was regarded as the strong man among the Wallace's but received injury lifting the key-stone for a chimney. He lived for a few years after this but never recovered his strength. He died probably around 1832 and his remains were buried in a plot on his father's farm in Dalhousie.

3. James Wallace (1804-1850) married Janet Graham. He came to North Gower with the other members of the family and settled on the east half of Lot 18, concession 3.

4. Hugh Wallace (1807-1844) married Isabella Callander. He settled on the west half of Lot 19, concession 3.

5. John Wallace (1810-1873) married first Jane Muir, second Margaret Tierney, third Mary Montgomery. He settled on the west half of Lot 18, concession 3, North Gower Township.

6. Andrew Wallace was killed in young manhood, by the branch of a tree falling on him while he was engaged in clearing the land. His remains were laid in the same plot as those of his brother, Robert.

7. Margaret Wallace (1814-1857) married William Callander. They too settled in North Gower Township coming about the same time as the Wallace family.

8. Ellen Wallace (1818-1863) married John Craig of Dalhousie. About 1852 John Craig went to Southern Australia and decided to settle there. In 1854 his wife and family joined him. Her descendants remained as settlers in Australia.

9.William Wallace (1825-1904) married Lilias I. Park. He settled on the east half of Lot 19, concession 3 North Gower Township. In the autumn of 1863 he sold this property to his nephew Robert S. Wallace and moved to the vicinity of Cromarty, Perth County and later he moved to Marquette, Michigan, USA.

Hello Diane,
I noticed you have information about the Ralstons from Lanark in your tree. So I thought this might interest you.

To my Ralston relatives and family!

I am sending this message to people whose family trees contain information about John Ralston (b. 1805 in Cadder parish-d.1889 in Bervie Canada) .

An update with information from the Ralston Project's y dna study:

Hello,
My name is Carrie Ralston and I manage my brother's y dna at the Ralston Project. There has recently been some very interesting progress, and I thought some of you might enjoy an update.

My brother's y haplo group is R-FTA49702 which is a subgroup of R-M269.

It has also been determined that our Ralston ancestors were unrelated to the well known Ralston group that originated in Paisley, Renfrewshire in Scotland. Results show that our Ralston ancestors were descended from the area just Northwest of Glasgow, and often lived in the parishes of Kirkintilloch, Cadder, Cumbernauld and Kilsyth.

The newest discovery:
Also, the big news is that we have a close y dna match that strongly suggests our Ralston family is descended from a family of Ralstons that once lived in Mosswater in Kirkintilloch parish. Please notice that this slightly changes our family tree which was originally set up by the Scots Ancestry Society at the request of Mrs. Glennis Turner in 1958.

The new results for my brother's direct paternal lineage:
?W Generation 1. My father: Jack Ralston b. 1933-d.2004

?W Generation 2 .My grandfather: Arthur Clyde Fair Ralston b. 1893-d.1976

?W Generation 3. Great grandfather: Allen Maclean Ralston b. 1851-d. 1917

?W Generation 4. 2x g. grandfather: John Ralston b. 1805-d. 1889
(John emigrated to Canada around the year 1830.)

?W Generation 5. 3x g. grandfather: James Ralton b. 1763 in Cumbernauld -died in 1835.
(Jame Ralton lived in Cadder Parish with second wife, Margaret Mclean.)

?W Generation 6. 4x g. grandfather: John Ralton b.1720 in Mosswater in Kirkintilloch parish. John was married to Janet Rayney in the parish of Cumbernaulds. Their 3 sons were also baptized in Cumbernauld which is very close to Mosswater.

?W Generation 7. 5x g. grandfather: Robert Ralton b. 1687
in Kirkintilloch parish. Robert and his, wife Jenet had 3 children and lived in Mosswater in the parish of Kirkintilloch.

?W Generation 8. 6x g. grandfather John Raltoune: b. 1656. John married Bessie Patraik in the parish of Kirkintilloch and then resided in Cadder parish.

for more information:
If you are interested in more detailed information or have questions, you are welcome to contact me at carrie@simnet.is or message me on ancestry.com. I would be happy to forward information to you from the Ralston group. We are still working on sorting out who was who among the Raltons. At the Ralston Project, Michael William Ralston has set up our new line of descent for our branch of Ralstons after studying the new y dna connections and mapping the locations of the Ralton families from this area. This new line of descent has taken into account the intermarriages between the Burns family and Raltons from Mosswater in Kirkintilloch. The names of the witnesses in these families' baptisms also support this new line of descent. A clearer picture of our family's history is starting to emerge. I would be happy to update and forward to you more detailed information as it comes. Please let me know, if you are interested.

Kind regards
Carrie Ralston

(Research):Archie attended Kingston Dairy School in Kingston ON before travelling to Edmonton in 1918, He worked at the Woodland Dairy and Edmonton City Dairy before moving to Rossington where he opened a cheese factory across from the Rossington store. While there, he lived on the Brownlie place in a log house on the banks of the Pembina River (NW1/4-14-60-1-W5th). Water was drawn from the Pembina River and there was a lake on the other side of the house.

The family moved to Westlock where Archie worked as a cream tester at the Westlock Creamery. After leaving the creamery they moved two miles east of Westlock to the Edison District where Archie farmed and started a dairy business, Rich Valley Dairy, deliverying milk in Westlock. He later moved two and and half miles west of Westlock (Edison district, on banks of Wabsh R.)) where he farmed and carried on his dairy business (Rich Valley Dairy). Milk was delivered seven days a week, and when short, would return to town (Westlock) after the evening milking to make up for the daytime delivery shortage. During his years of milk delivery he collected over 350 bottles from Canadian and USA towns. He gave the collection to Dick Adkins and were displayed at Dick's mini-museum on hwy 18 west of Westlock for many years.

Archie originally had a herd of Jersey cows and later switched to Holsteins.

After 35 years, Archie retired from the Dairy business in 1959 when he sold to the Northern Alberta Dairy Pool.

Archie and his family lived on the banks of the Wabush until his death in 1964. His wife Thelma continued to live there with her family until her death in 1974. In 1984 their daughters Eileen and Lonetta continued to live there with their husbands.
