General Wade's report on the Highlands in 1724, estimated the clan strength at 220 men. Coll MacDonald and his clansmen would eventually fight for the Jacobites at the Battle of Sheriffmuir. After the Jacobite Rising of 1715 failed, Coll MacDonald suffered exile in France for a time, but retained his power after the Rising, eventually dying in 1729. During the Jacobite rising of 1745, the Chief, Alexander Macdonald, 17th of Keppoch, was among the men who attacked British Government soldiers who were preparing a surprise assault on the Glenfinnan gathering at what is now known as the Highbridge Skirmish. This was the first strike on the government during the 1745 rising. The MacDonalds of Keppoch were also involved in the siege of Fort William in March 1746. On the morning of 16 April 1746, Clan MacDonald of Keppoch were present at the Battle of Culloden. According to tradition, Alexander of Keppoch, upon seeing that his men were reluctant to advance as ordered, he reproached them by shouting Mo Dhia, an do thr?eig clann mo chinnidh mi? ("My God, have the children of my clan forsaken me?") before charging alone with pistol and sword drawn. More contemporary accounts, however, suggest that Keppoch led the attack surrounded by a small group of close kinsmen with the rest of his men following in support. During the advance Keppoch had his right arm shattered by a musket-ball: he was subsequently hit in the chest and died some time later while being carried off the field by his illegitimate son Aonghas B?an. While his regiment appear to have partly rallied in an attempt to defend against government cavalry, they suffered heavy casualties and dispersed after the Jacobite defeat. "Among the Keppoch Jacobites to suffer the supreme penalty after the defeat of the Uprising was Major Donald MacDonald, the Tacksman of Tir na Dis near Spean Bridge, who was executed at Carlisle in October 1746. Before his death, however, the Major stated, "I die a member of the Holy Roman Catholic Church in the Communion of which I have lived... And I here declare, upon the faith of a dying man, that it was with no view to establishing that church or religion in this nation that I joined the Prince, but purely out of duty and allegiance to our only rightful, lawful, and native sovereign, due to him had he been a heathen, Mahomedan, or even a Quaker. Roger Hutchinson (2010), Father Allan: The Life and Legacy of a Hebridean Priest, Birlinn Limited. Page 26. "Clan Castle The seat of the chief of the Clan MacDonald of Keppoch was originally at Castle Keppoch which was near to Spean Bridge in Lochaber. In 1690 it passed to the MacKintoshes. The lands were then disputed with the MacKintoshes, with the last clan battle being fought here. The castle itself had been demolished in 1663 after the Keppoch murders. The present Keppoch House was built by the 18th chief of the MacDonells of Keppoch about 1760; The house itself currently occupies the site of an earlier Keppoch House built probably in the second half of the 17th century and burned by Government troops after the Battle of Culloden.

47588	Traer Star Clipper, Friday, April 17, 1914 page 1 DEATH OF JAMES DINSDALE Pioneer Buckingham Citizen Passes Away. VICTIM OF CANCERS OF THE TANCIEAS James Dinsdale's physical trouble is over. The end came at 11 a. m. Monday. He had been in poor health for years. Of late he was a victim of cancer of the pancreas, next to the stomach. He had been gradually failing for months. Mr. Dinsdale was one of the most prominent citizens of northwest Tama and a man who stood high in the community. He was a native of England, having been born October 10, 1839, in Yorkshire. He was a son of Mr. and Mrs. L. P. Dinsdale, who were prominent farmers northwest of Traer many years. The family went to Canada in 1845, and in 1869 they located in this vicinity, west Buckingham. In 1801 deceased married Ann Nicoll, of Norwood, Canada, the couple farmed in Buckingham until the fall of 1893, when they located in the village of Dinsdale, which had been laid out and named after the family in 1891. Up to 1893 he and his father were interested in Shorthorn cattle Breeding, and they were owners of the widely known Allendale Stock Farm, where some of the best cattle in the county could be seen. Mr. Dinsdale's possessions increased until he owned 900 acres of rich north Tama land, which he deeded to his children eight years ago. The first wife was the mother of ten children, seven of whom are living, namely: Mrs. J. S. Breakenridge, Dinsdale; Martha, at home; John, Independence; Mrs. W. J. Clark, Mrs. Samuel Hulme, Thomas, and Mrs. Joseph Tomlinson, on farms near Dinsdale. In 1880 Mr. Dinsdale married a second wife, Elizabeth Atkinson, of Westmoreland, England. Two children followed this union, George, near Dinsdale, and Mary, wife of Peter DauSchmidt, of Buckingham. Deceased had thirty-eight grandchildren, thirty-one of whom are living, and one great grandchild. He leaves four sisters?Mrs. John Stevenson, Goldfield; Mrs. Alex Nicoll and Mrs. Robert Fothergill, Eagle Grove; Mrs. John Nicoll, Cedar Rapids. He also leaves a legion of friends and a good name. The funeral was held at 2 p. m. yesterday. Services were conducted in the Congregational church in Dinsdale by Rev. Kennedy, a former pastor, of which church Mr. Dinsdale was a member. There was a very large assemblage of relatives and friends. Interment was in the Buckingham cemetery.	Dinsdale, James (I62773)

47590	Transcribed from The Perth Journal: J.P.L. McLaren Dies At His Home Former Perth Man Only Ill For Short Time in Springfield. Special to The Journal. PERTH, Ont.

47591	Transcription of an excerpt of a typewritten account of the Ritchie family history in Ontario received from Mr. Lyndsey Ritchie of Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1949. Much of it appears to have been compiled by a Mrs. Jessie Hendry McLaren of Perth, Ontario in 1931. History and Record of John Ritchie and his wife, Janet Luke, Fintry, Scotland and Perth, Ontario, and their children to the fourth generation. [Excerpt] This brief record of the Ritchie family has been written to preserve for the present and future generations, the history of their ancestors. There may be errors and omissions, but it is, we believe, a fairly accurate record, and, as such, it is sent to members of the different branches of this family with the hope that it may prove interesting, and also that it will be preserved. For help and information we would thank Mr. Robert Ritchie of Edmonton, Alberta; Mr. W. W. Kemp of Forest; Mr. S. H. F. Kemp of Toronto; Dr. H. B. Anderson of Toronto; Mrs. Crawford of Sarnia; Mr. James McLean of Renfrew County; and Dr. J. W. Jory of St. Catherines, Ontario. The compiling of this record has been a great pleasure, and we regret that more time could not have been spent in its preparation. From old pages and records we find that in the year 1784, John Ritchie, Jr., son of John Ritchie of Dalry Mills, Scotland, was apprenticed to Henry Hannah, smith, of Lennie Park, for the term of four years, "for the learning of, and serving him in the business and craft as a smith." John Ritchie's brother, James, "taking burden upon himself for his said brother as cautioner." The record says that he served his term of apprenticeship faithfully and honestly. Four years later, in the year 1792 he married Janet Luke, their home being in the beautiful little village of Fintry, nestled on the South side of the Campia Hills, about midway between Edinburgh and Glasgow. There he worked in a factory, and was in charge of the machinery. Some fine specimens of his work are still in possession of his grandsons and their sons. It was toward the end of the Napoleonic wars, when hard times in the old country induced many families to improve their fortunes by emigration to the United States or Canada, that John Ritchie of Fintry, Scotland, with his wife and family of eight children sailed from Greenock, in June, 1815 for Virginia, in order to re-establish themselves in the new world. The war of 1812-1815, in which the Americans had joined with the French against the Motherland was just drawing to a close. In order to escape French privateers on watch for British shipping, the sailing ship with the Ritchie family turned Northward, for the St. Lawrence. The County of Lanark, in upper Canada was just then being opened for the settlement of a large immigration of soldiers and civilians from Lanarkshire, in Scotland, and the Ritchie family made Lanark County their destination, and located a tract of land seven miles from the future county town of Perth. The Lanark settlement soon became well established and prosperous. In fact, the most successful emigration in the early history of the province. About seven miles South from Perth the Ritchie homestead was situated; the grant being one hundred acres of land. John, the eldest son, also received a grant of one hundred acres, adjoining his father's land. The first years in the new land were ones of hardship, but the Ritchies appear to have been clever and resourceful. The second son, Robert, went with his young wife (Margaret Hume) to Peterboro county, obtaining a grant of four hundred acres of land. Here they prospered, and established saw and grist mills, as well as engaging in farming. The youngest son, William, stayed on the homestead, which he extended to three hundred acres. He also went into the lumbering business, and at one time owned extensive timber limits. The house, built by his mother, (with later additions) still stands as a fine old mansion, and is now owned and occupied by a descendent of the Ritchie family. The saw mill passed into other hands, but is again in operation on a small scale. There is no record of the death of John Ritchie. We learn that he was a man of quiet and retiring nature, but evidently capable and clever. His wife, Janet Luke, was a woman of fine and commanding appearance, dignified, wise, and most capable. She lived a number of years after the death of her husband, at the old home, having attained the age of 84 years. These men and women, good, noble, and industrious, as many of them were, have, with their descendants, taken no small part in the making of Canada. For it is the good citizens and true patriots who make a Country Great. Compiled in 1931 by Jessie Hendry McLaren ? (Mrs. P. S. McLaren) R. R. #2, Perth, Ontario. Comment by L. K. Ritchie ? grandson of Peter Ritchie ? No. V [Peter Ritchie was a son of Robert and Margaret (Hume) Ritchie.] This seems to be a very fine piece of work, and it's value will increase more and more as time passes, and records are harder to reach, and memories fade and fail. These folks who have given of their time and effort to set this record up are definitely entitled to the most hearty thanks of all the descendants of John Ritchie and Janet Luke. I have collected, developed and compiled ? with the very generous help of some of my "cousins", both Ritchie and Kidd ? quite a bit of genealogy connected with the second son, Robert, who was my great grandfather, and it has been a most interesting work.

*****************
During the Jacobite rising of 1715, Clan MacDonald of Keppoch were indirectly involved in the siege of Inverness (1715). General Wade's report on the Highlands in 1724, estimated the clan strength at 220 men. Coll MacDonald and his clansmen would eventually fight for the Jacobites at the Battle of Sheriffmuir. After the Jacobite Rising of 1715 failed, Coll MacDonald suffered exile in France for a time, but retained his power after the Rising, eventually dying in 1729.

During the Jacobite rising of 1745, the Chief, Alexander Macdonald, 17th of Keppoch, was among the men who attacked British Government soldiers who were preparing a surprise assault on the Glenfinnan gathering at what is now known as the Highbridge Skirmish. This was the first strike on the government during the 1745 rising. The MacDonalds of Keppoch were also involved in the siege of Fort William in March 1746. On the morning of 16 April 1746, Clan MacDonald of Keppoch were present at the Battle of Culloden. According to tradition, Alexander of Keppoch, upon seeing that his men were reluctant to advance as ordered, he reproached them by shouting Mo Dhia, an do thr?eig clann mo chinnidh mi? ("My God, have the children of my clan forsaken me?") before charging alone with pistol and sword drawn. More contemporary accounts, however, suggest that Keppoch led the attack surrounded by a small group of close kinsmen with the rest of his men following in support. During the advance Keppoch had his right arm shattered by a musket-ball: he was subsequently hit in the chest and died some time later while being carried off the field by his illegitimate son Aonghas B?an. While his regiment appear to have partly rallied in an attempt to defend against government cavalry, they suffered heavy casualties and dispersed after the Jacobite defeat.

"Among the Keppoch Jacobites to suffer the supreme penalty after the defeat of the Uprising was Major Donald MacDonald, the Tacksman of Tir na Dis near Spean Bridge, who was executed at Carlisle in October 1746. Before his death, however, the Major stated, "I die a member of the Holy Roman Catholic Church in the Communion of which I have lived... And I here declare, upon the faith of a dying man, that it was with no view to establishing that church or religion in this nation that I joined the Prince, but purely out of duty and allegiance to our only rightful, lawful, and native sovereign, due to him had he been a heathen, Mahomedan, or even a Quaker.
Roger Hutchinson (2010), Father Allan: The Life and Legacy of a Hebridean Priest, Birlinn Limited. Page 26.
"Clan Castle
The seat of the chief of the Clan MacDonald of Keppoch was originally at Castle Keppoch which was near to Spean Bridge in Lochaber. In 1690 it passed to the MacKintoshes. The lands were then disputed with the MacKintoshes, with the last clan battle being fought here. The castle itself had been demolished in 1663 after the Keppoch murders. The present Keppoch House was built by the 18th chief of the MacDonells of Keppoch about 1760; The house itself currently occupies the site of an earlier Keppoch House built probably in the second half of the 17th century and burned by Government troops after the Battle of Culloden.

DEATH OF JAMES DINSDALE
Pioneer Buckingham Citizen Passes Away.
VICTIM OF CANCERS OF THE TANCIEAS

James Dinsdale's physical trouble is over. The end came at 11 a. m. Monday. He had been in poor health for years. Of late he was a victim of cancer of the pancreas, next to the stomach. He had been gradually failing for months. Mr. Dinsdale was one of the most prominent citizens of northwest Tama and a man who stood high in the community. He was a native of England, having been born October 10, 1839, in Yorkshire. He was a son of Mr. and Mrs. L. P. Dinsdale, who were prominent farmers northwest of Traer many years. The family went to Canada in 1845, and in 1869 they located in this vicinity, west Buckingham. In 1801 deceased married Ann Nicoll, of Norwood, Canada, the couple farmed in Buckingham until the fall of 1893, when they located in the village of Dinsdale, which had been laid out and named after the family in 1891. Up to 1893 he and his father were interested in Shorthorn cattle Breeding, and they were owners of the widely known Allendale Stock Farm, where some of the best cattle in the county could be seen.

Mr. Dinsdale's possessions increased until he owned 900 acres of rich north Tama land, which he deeded to his children eight years ago. The first wife was the mother of ten children, seven of whom are living, namely: Mrs. J. S. Breakenridge, Dinsdale; Martha, at home; John, Independence; Mrs. W. J. Clark, Mrs. Samuel Hulme, Thomas, and Mrs. Joseph Tomlinson, on farms near Dinsdale. In 1880 Mr. Dinsdale married a second wife, Elizabeth Atkinson, of Westmoreland, England. Two children followed this union, George, near Dinsdale, and Mary, wife of Peter DauSchmidt, of Buckingham. Deceased had thirty-eight grandchildren, thirty-one of whom are living, and one great grandchild. He leaves four sisters?Mrs. John Stevenson, Goldfield; Mrs. Alex Nicoll and Mrs. Robert Fothergill, Eagle Grove; Mrs. John Nicoll, Cedar Rapids. He also leaves a legion of friends and a good name.

The funeral was held at 2 p. m. yesterday. Services were conducted in the Congregational church in Dinsdale by Rev. Kennedy, a former pastor, of which church Mr. Dinsdale was a member. There was a very large assemblage of relatives and friends. Interment was in the Buckingham cemetery.

The little son of Mr. and Mrs. Clark, of Norway, died Saturday last. The mother is a daughter of James Dinsdale. The lad was remarkably bright for one of five years, and as his parent are both deaf and dumb he was idolized and was extremely helpful. They employed three or four physicians, but without avail. The death is a crushing affliction to the parents.

Special to The Journal.
PERTH, Ont. Sept. 15.-Deep regret was caused today to friends in Perth and district, by news of the sudden death of James L. P. McLaren, which occurred late yesterday in Springfield. Mass. Mr. McLaren was 56 years of age and a native of Perth, having been the son of the late Senator and Mrs. Peter McLaren. For the past few years he had resided in New Hampshire.
He is survived by his widow; one son, Peter Gay McLaren, of Oshawa; one daughter. Mrs. George Verral. of Toronto; and two sisters. Mrs. T. W. Hall, of Oshawa, and Miss Kathleen McLaren, of Perth.
The illness which resulted in Mr. McLaren's death was brief and the news of his death came as a great shock to his many friends here. He last visited Perth a few weeks ago to attend the wedding of his daughter. Members of his immediate family are bringing the body here where the funeral will be held from Nevis Cottage, Drummond street, home of the late Senator, on Tuesday afternoon at two o'clock standard time.

Transcription of an excerpt of a typewritten account of the Ritchie family history in Ontario received from Mr. Lyndsey Ritchie of Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1949. Much of it appears to have been compiled by a Mrs. Jessie Hendry McLaren of Perth, Ontario in 1931.

History and Record of John Ritchie and his wife, Janet Luke, Fintry, Scotland and Perth, Ontario, and their children to the fourth generation. [Excerpt]

This brief record of the Ritchie family has been written to preserve for the present and future generations, the history of their ancestors. There may be errors and omissions, but it is, we believe, a fairly accurate record, and, as such, it is sent to members of the different branches of this family with the hope that it may prove interesting, and also that it will be preserved.

For help and information we would thank Mr. Robert Ritchie of Edmonton, Alberta; Mr. W. W. Kemp of Forest; Mr. S. H. F. Kemp of Toronto; Dr. H. B. Anderson of Toronto; Mrs. Crawford of Sarnia; Mr. James McLean of Renfrew County; and Dr. J. W. Jory of St. Catherines, Ontario. The compiling of this record has been a great pleasure, and we regret that more time could not have been spent in its preparation.

From old pages and records we find that in the year 1784, John Ritchie, Jr., son of John Ritchie of Dalry Mills, Scotland, was apprenticed to Henry Hannah, smith, of Lennie Park, for the term of four years, "for the learning of, and serving him in the business and craft as a smith." John Ritchie's brother, James, "taking burden upon himself for his said brother as cautioner." The record says that he served his term of apprenticeship faithfully and honestly.

Four years later, in the year 1792 he married Janet Luke, their home being in the beautiful little village of Fintry, nestled on the South side of the Campia Hills, about midway between Edinburgh and Glasgow. There he worked in a factory, and was in charge of the machinery. Some fine specimens of his work are still in possession of his grandsons and their sons.

It was toward the end of the Napoleonic wars, when hard times in the old country induced many families to improve their fortunes by emigration to the United States or Canada, that John Ritchie of Fintry, Scotland, with his wife and family of eight children sailed from Greenock, in June, 1815 for Virginia, in order to re-establish themselves in the new world.

The war of 1812-1815, in which the Americans had joined with the French against the Motherland was just drawing to a close. In order to escape French privateers on watch for British shipping, the sailing ship with the Ritchie family turned Northward, for the St. Lawrence. The County of Lanark, in upper Canada was just then being opened for the settlement of a large immigration of soldiers and civilians from Lanarkshire, in Scotland, and the Ritchie family made Lanark County their destination, and located a tract of land seven miles from the future county town of Perth. The Lanark settlement soon became well established and prosperous. In fact, the most successful emigration in the early history of the province.

About seven miles South from Perth the Ritchie homestead was situated; the grant being one hundred acres of land. John, the eldest son, also received a grant of one hundred acres, adjoining his father's land. The first years in the new land were ones of hardship, but the Ritchies appear to have been clever and resourceful.

The second son, Robert, went with his young wife (Margaret Hume) to Peterboro county, obtaining a grant of four hundred acres of land. Here they prospered, and established saw and grist mills, as well as engaging in farming.

The youngest son, William, stayed on the homestead, which he extended to three hundred acres. He also went into the lumbering business, and at one time owned extensive timber limits. The house, built by his mother, (with later additions) still stands as a fine old mansion, and is now owned and occupied by a descendent of the Ritchie family. The saw mill passed into other hands, but is again in operation on a small scale.

There is no record of the death of John Ritchie. We learn that he was a man of quiet and retiring nature, but evidently capable and clever. His wife, Janet Luke, was a woman of fine and commanding appearance, dignified, wise, and most capable. She lived a number of years after the death of her husband, at the old home, having attained the age of 84 years.

These men and women, good, noble, and industrious, as many of them were, have, with their descendants, taken no small part in the making of Canada. For it is the good citizens and true patriots who make a Country Great.

Comment by L. K. Ritchie ? grandson of Peter Ritchie ? No. V [Peter Ritchie was a son of Robert and Margaret (Hume) Ritchie.]

This seems to be a very fine piece of work, and it's value will increase more and more as time passes, and records are harder to reach, and memories fade and fail. These folks who have given of their time and effort to set this record up are definitely entitled to the most hearty thanks of all the descendants of John Ritchie and Janet Luke. I have collected, developed and compiled ? with the very generous help of some of my "cousins", both Ritchie and Kidd ? quite a bit of genealogy connected with the second son, Robert, who was my great grandfather, and it has been a most interesting work. There are some noticeable "differences" between the various recordings, but I know of no way to now determine the accuracy of any one item over another, and so have recorded the seemingly most 'probable' version ? subject to correction.
