901 (Research):Marjorie Bruce or Marjorie de Brus (c. 1296 ?  1316 or 1317) was the eldest daughter of Robert the Bruce, King of Scots, and the only child born of his first marriage with Isabella of Mar.

Marjorie's marriage to Walter, High Steward of Scotland, gave rise to the House of Stewart. Her son was the first Stewart monarch, King Robert II of Scotland.

Early life
Her mother, Isabella, was a noblewoman from the Clan Mar. Marjorie was named after her father's mother, Marjorie, Countess of Carrick. Soon after giving birth to Marjorie, at the age of 19, Isabella died. Marjorie's father was at that time the Earl of Carrick.

According to legend, Marjorie's parents had been very much in love, and Robert the Bruce did not remarry until 1302 (six years after his first wife's death), to a courtier named Elizabeth de Burgh.

On 27 March 1306, her father was crowned King of Scots at Scone, Perthshire.

Imprisonment
Three months after the coronation, in June, 1306, her father was defeated at the Battle of Methven. He sent his wife, two sisters, and Marjorie north with his supporter Isabella MacDuff, Countess of Buchan, but by the end of June they were captured by Uilleam II, Earl of Ross, a Balliol supporter, who handed them over to the English.

As punishment, Edward I of England sent his hostages to different places in England. Marjorie was sent to the convent at Watton. Her aunt, Christina Bruce, was sent to another convent. Elizabeth de Burgh was placed under house arrest at a manor house in Yorkshire. Elizabeth de Burgh's punishment was lighter than the others. This is due to the fact that Edward I needed the support of her father, the powerful Earl of Ulster. Marjorie's aunt, Mary Bruce, and the Countess of Buchan were imprisoned in wooden cages, exposed to public view, at Roxburgh Castle and Berwick Castle, respectively.

For the next four years, Elizabeth, Christina, Mary, and Isabella endured solitary confinement. The latter two experienced daily public humiliation. A cage was built for Marjorie, who was around the age of 12, at the Tower of London, but Edward I reconsidered. He instead sent her to the Gilbertine convent in Watton. Christopher Seton, Christina's husband, was executed.

Edward I died on 7 July 1307. He was succeeded by his son, Edward II, who subsequently held Marjorie captive in a convent for about seven more years. She was freed in October 1314, in exchange for Humphrey de Bohun, 4th Earl of Hereford captured after the Battle of Bannockburn.

Marriage and death
Upon the liberation of Elizabeth de Burgh and Marjorie from their long captivity in England, Walter Stewart, 6th High Steward of Scotland, was sent to receive them at the Anglo-Scottish border and conduct them back to the Scottish court. He later married Marjorie. Her dowry included the Barony of Bathgate in West Lothian.

The traditional story is that two years later, on 2 March 1316, Marjorie was riding in Gallowhill, Paisley, Renfrewshire while heavily pregnant. Her horse was suddenly startled and threw her to the ground. She went into premature labour and her child, Robert II of Scotland, was born. Marjorie died soon afterward at the age of around 20, like her mother, who was roughly the same age when she died in childbirth. However, it is not clear that this traditional story is correct; some accounts indicate that she may have survived into 1317. She may still have died in a riding accident, but this could have taken place after the birth of her son. In fact, one source states that she died in October 1317, after falling from a horse, during a second pregnancy. Following the same October 1317 tradition, the Renfrewshire historian Crawford recorded circa 1710 that local tradition reported she was "riding betwixt Pasly and the Castle of Renfrew, then the principal Residence of the Great Stewart of Scotland, her Husband, she was thrown from her Horse, and by the fall suffered a Dislocation of the Vertebrae of her Neck; she, being pregnant, fell in Labour (of King Robert II.) the child or Faetus, as they report, was a Cesar[ian]: The Operation being by an unskilful Hand, his Eye was touch'd by the Instrument, which afterwards proved incurable, from which he was called King Bleareie [ie. bleery eye]; she died upon the Spot: And on the Fatal Place where this Accident happened, there was erected a Cross, yet standing, called Queen Bleareie's Cross." This tradition appears to conflate the dates and facts from other known sources, however authentic references to the sight affliction occurring in infancy, and the related nickname, are lacking.

At the junction of Renfrew Road and Dundonald Road in Paisley, a cairn marks the spot called "the Knock", near where Marjorie reputedly fell from her horse. Bruce Road and Marjorie Drive are named in her honour. She is buried at Paisley Abbey.

Her son succeeded his childless uncle David II of Scotland in 1371 as King Robert II. Her descendants include the House of Stewart (now styled Stuart) and all their successors on the throne of Scotland, England and the United Kingdom.

From Charles McFadden letter
William Miller (1762) arrived Brig George Canning 1821, Dumbartonshire and located on W L15 Con 1 Lanark Township after first drawing Lot 24 Con 2. He was accompanied by his wife and William Miller (1786)'s siblings. He later moved to Bathurst.

William Miller arrived on Brig Prompt, 1820 located in Dalhousie, Whitelee. Son of William 1762.

William Miller & Family in Wisconsin from Charles McFadden
William V. Moore , Wisconsin Probate. A kerfuffle over his estate. Mary Miller, his wife, refused administration on his estate. Jane Ebbot petitioned for re-payment of loans totaling over $1000 - in 1885 - dating back to 1855. The notes were in her name then: Jane M. Wilson. She says that she is the sister of William's wife, Mary Miller. A great grandson petitioned in 1948 because his grandfather had been named in the will "Miller W. Moore" and his name was really "William M. Moore" There is diagram of the homestead there too.

I do not have the diagram. I think Robert Urquhart's 4 great grand daughter may as a guess.

Then, Mary Miller Moore died in 1898 and her parents were named as William Miller and Margaret Burns.

So, now we know that William Miller 1786 went to the United States in 1836, was in Racine in 1844, that he had, at least, children Margaret Mary, Jane, and John with him. Jane married one husband Joseph Wilson along the way, and Mary married William V. Moore either Dec. 25 1844 or Jan. 31st 1845 - both records exist. Unfortunately, nothing further about the whereabouts of William and Margaret after the 1850 census of Wisconsin. William Miller 1786 & Mary Margaret Burns your 4 great grandparents either died before 1860 or moved on.

Notice Diane that there is a darn gone David Miller listed as well! 
*********
William appears as head of household in Racine Wisconsin in 1855 Census. This census does not show names of household.

JR Ernest Miller 18 May 1993
Wm. Miller & Mary or Margaret Burns were married at Kilmarnock Scotland on 13 June 1807.
The baptismal records of their children in Scotland use one of those two christian names but never the two at one time. We have not checked her birth records to verify which is correct or whether it should be Mary Margaret Burns.  It is rumoured that she is a sister of Robbie Burns the poet but never verified.
In 1821, William Miller took his family to Greenock where they embarked for Canada settling in Lanark twp on Con 1 Lot 15 opposite his brother Andrew who had drawn a similar lot in Dalhousie twp.
Burial records have never been located but the 1834 report on the condition of the 1820-21 Scottish settlers to Lanark and Dalhousie twps states that widow Miller is alone on L15 C1 Lanark and that the rest of the family has moved to Bathurst twp.  In his diaries Robert Mason recorded that Mrs. William Miller died 13 Dec 1839.  As three of his daughters were married to Miller husbands we have assumed that this was Mary Margaret Burns.
To make a positive identification more difficult there were no less than four William Millers in Dalhousie and Lanark twps in 1834.  A William Miller left L14 C2 Dalhousie in 1839 and moved to Hammond, St. Lawrence Co., New York State.  Efforts to identify this man have failed to date.
Janet, Margaret Ann & Mary, daughters of William and Mary Margaret Miller have not been identified in our research although earlier family history had indicated possible marriages to a Brownlee and a Robinson.

Carol Bennett: The Lanark Society Settlers, 1991.
pg. 105 reflects the confusion of William Millers at the time. She has Andrew Miller as a son rather than a brother. Again on pg 106 there is confusion of generations.
One of the William Millers was a member of the Glasgow Canadian Society. Signatures of James, Andrew and William are posted on page 103. Walter Black was head of this emigration society. This group arrived in 1821 on the ship George Canning.

notes from William [6] for reference
As part of the Glasgow Sr. Wrights was Andrew Blair (4 people). As part of the Lanarkshire Society James Gilmour (6 persons), William Miller (1 person) and William Gilmour (1 person) sailed on Earl of Buckinghamshire, Johnston Master, departing Greenock on 29 Apr 1821 to sail to Quebec.
Among the 1821 arrivals is Robert Mason on Lanark C2 Lot 9W, Alexander Brownlee on Dalhousie C12 L11W, and John Miller on Lanark C2 L22W.
on the same ship, Cannnington as part of the Cambuslang Society, there was a John Miller (4 people) and a William Gourley (5 people).

I find that one of the William Millers from Scotland, was a bachelor, and had arrived on the Commerce on June 1820 and was not located until 22 March 1821 on Lanark C7 L12W. Furthermore I discover that he was not sent out by Government but was received by authority of Commander, 22 January, 1821. A Hugh Miller, 1821 settled in Ramsay Township C10 L18 on 25 Jul 1821. He was of interest, not as a Miller but as an ancestor of Beatrice Miller Duncan who married into my husband's Duncan family.

Another document was In this report we find that William Miller, 1820, purchased Lanark C2 Lot 13W from Wm. Brown who now owns a tavern in Perth and that William Miller is located on Dalhousie C2 Lot 14E.  It seems there is a 'Brown' connection yet to be discovered in the family. A grandson of William and Elizabeth has Brown as a second name on a marriage record. It is also noted that John Blair sold Dalhousie C5 L6W to William Miller. At this point I go back to the record of births and baptism I have already gathered. I know that William Miller and Elizabeth Gilmour, are the parents of Robert, b. 3 Nov 1784, William, b. 19 Sep 1786, John, born 7 Jun 1789, and Jean b. 3 Aug 1791, all in Dumbarton, Dumbartonshire, Scotland.
