<span style="font-size: small;">In May 1890, my 3rd great grandmother, Letis Ellen Littrell had a 2nd pension letter written on her behalf from Saunders County, Nebraska. She is probably with her son William who was living in Wahoo, Saunders, Nebraska in the 1800 census. This letter is written 28 years after the first letter. She would have been 60 years old. I wonder why it took so long to send a second letter and did she ever get a pension</span>.</div>

<div style="font-family: Arial; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">What is in a name? In family history, a name can lead you on a journey. Since the Scottish like to bequeath their children with names of significance, I just knew there had to be a story in my dad's and grandfather's middle name, Cumberland. When researching this unique name, I've unearthed fascinating family members and a wee bit of Scottish history.<span> </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div style="font-family: Arial; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div style="font-family: Arial; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">My eureka moment was when I decide to approach my research by searching for the first name Cumberland in Scotland. Cumberland is not a common name. It always makes sense to find those unusual names. This search yielded me with some interesting results. The one that jumped out at me was "Cumberland Reid" born in 1746. It just happens that I have a fourth great grandmother, Christian Reid. She married a William Muirhead, and they named one of their sons (wait for it) Cumberland Muirhead, born in 1791. Now, this just couldn't be a coincidence. I located Cumberland Reid's will on the ScotlandsPeople's website and purchased it, with my fingers crossed. I love Cumberland Reid; he left a fantastic will.<span> </span>Cumberland never married and was a man with wealth. In his will, Cumberland names brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, servants, and a housekeeper. A genealogist dream. Of course, he included his sister (Christian Reid), her husband (William Muirhead) and their two children, George and Sara. I assume poor little Cumberland Muirhead didn't survive.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div style="font-family: Arial; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div style="font-family: Arial; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Cumberland's will lead me to discover intriguing cousins, who bear the Cumberland name. I'm quite sure this is where my dad, Maurice Cumberland Paterson, and my grandfather, Johnston Cumberland Paterson,<span> </span>got their middle name. Now how did my fourth great granduncle get a name like Cumberland? Cumberland Reid was the son of George Reid and Sarah Laurie, born August 28, 1746, in Ratho, Midlothian, Scotland, U.K.<span> </span>When doing my search for the first name Cumberland, I thought it was quite odd that there were quite a few people born with the first or middle name Cumberland in 1746. The Cumberland name doesn't appear before 1746. Since reading a little Scottish history, I knew the battle of Culloden took place in April 1746. William Augustus, Duke of Cumberland was in command of the government forces against the Jacobite army. My theory is that the Duke of Cumberland had something to do with George Reid naming his son Cumberland in 1746. But could I ever find out why?</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div style="font-family: Arial; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div style="font-family: Arial; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">My answer came in the Linlithgowshire Gazette dated April 17, 1903, on the website Find My Past. Thanks to the old residenter, Mr. Thomas Scott, giving an account of the old folks in the area. Mr. Scott states that a Reid was a guide for the Duke of Cumberland at Culloden. The guide named his son Cumberland. Amazing! It all fits. My fifth great grandfather George Reid must have been the guide.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">I'm not sure how I feel about my family bearing the name Cumberland after the Duke of Cumberland. From what I have read, The Duke of Cumberland is known as the butcher for the deeds done after the battle. I would like to think my fifth great grandfather knew him as a different man.<span> But m</span>y dad and my grandfather would have been thrilled to know where the name came from and how I traced it back to an epic battle in Scottish history. It was a captivating journey. In genealogy, sometimes there is history in a name.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Arial; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Quite a few years ago,
I ordered the Civil War pension
application for my 3rd great grandmother, Letis E. (Knox) Littrell from the
National Archives in Washington, D.C. I remember it was quite exciting to see
these records when I finally received them. A cousin recently contacted me
about the Littrell family after reading my blog. So now may be a good time to
share these records. There are eight pages and one title page, so I'll split
them up. T<span id="goog_294209098"></span><span id="goog_294209099"></span>he first letter is dated December 31, 1862, about a month after her husband dies from lung disease contracted
during his service. She states that she married John H. Littrell on September
20th, 1852, which matches their marriage record. Margaret Robinson and Mr.
Kyne, residents of Dubuque, are character witnesses for Letis. My 3rd great
grandmother signs her name at the bottom of the first page. It's amazing to see
your ancestors script from 155 years ago. </span></div>

This family has been a challenge to research and I'm still searching for information. Looking through the census records, I've found a mother and her daughters using their needle skills to help contribute to their family income.</span></span></div>

</span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The earliest census I found for<span></span> my 3rd great grandmother, Sarah Swain (Worthington), is 1871. Sarah was living in St. Pancras, Middlesex, England with her children Emily, Jane, and Alfred. Her occupation was a needlewoman. Sarah marital status was married, but her husband, William, is not listed in the household. This would not have been unusual as William is listed as a servant in all his daughter's (Jane Elizabeth, Emily, and Jane) marriage records. He could have been living at his place of employment.</span></span></div>

</span></span><div style="margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Skipping to the 1891 census I found two of Sarah's daughters employed as needlewomen. My 2nd great grandmother, Emily Worthington (Warry), is living with her husband and her four children at 59 Campsbourne Road in Hornsey, Middlesex, England. Her sister, Julia Elizabeth Worthington (Fitch), is a few doors down at 29 Campsbourne Road with her husband. I can imagine these two sisters getting together for needlework.</span></span></div>

My aunt and I discovered this postcard hidden behind one of my grandmother’s photos. On the front is a photo of the officers of the 58th Battalion of the Canadian Expeditionary Force. The postcard is stamped Niagara Falls, August 28, 1915 at 9 am. It’s addressed to Miss D. Warry 14 Thorold Ave. Toronto, Ontario and a note to my grandmother.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Fred may have been a sweetheart of my grandmother before my grandfather, Johnston Paterson. Sadly, many young men never made it back to their sweethearts.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So, who was Fred? We know his first name was Fred or Frederick, he was probably in the 58th Battalion, and he probably didn’t make it back. I’ve tried looking over the Canadian Expeditionary Force, 58th Battalion members who died overseas, but there seem to be quite a few possibilities. So maybe he will always be a mystery to me. Even my grandmother is entitled to a secret. </span></span></div>

Many of those heroes are in our families trees. I thought it was time to find them and make a point of acknowledging them. Two of those young men are brothers who never had the chance to grow old. Gordon Bernard Belknap and his younger brother, Robert Martin Belknap are two of the fallen sailors who served in the U.S. Navy during World War II. They are the sons of Martin Henry Belknap and Matilda Anne Krekofsky. Both were born in Sterns County, Minnesota, United States. Gordon Bernard Belknap on September 1st, 1919 and Robert Martin Belknap on May 7 1925. Gordon enlisted at the young age of 17 on May 4th, 1937. He went missing when his ship the U.S.S. Pecos was sunk by a Japanese aircraft on March 1st, 1942. Gordon was just 22 years old. His younger brother, Robert turned 17 just after Gordon went missing. Robert followed Gordon by enlisted at 17 on March 31st, 1942. At 20 years old, Robert is listed as missing when his ship the U.S.S. Luce is sunk by Japanese aircraft.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It's interesting to think about how our ancestors may have thought of Halloween in the past. There are numerous histories of Halloween that can be found on the internet. This is an excerpt from the book</span></span> "<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #b45f06;"><a href="https://archive.org/details/bookofhalloweenb00kell" target="_blank">The Book of Hallowe'en</a></span></span>" <span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">by Ruth Edna Kelley. It's a book all about Halloween history, and beliefs and customs in different countries. </span></span></div>

Francis was a writer(solicitor) and house factor (one who manages property) for his uncle, George Hunter of Renfrew. The trouble began in February of 1859 when Francis took John Boyle to small-debt court in Glasgow for not paying rent at McAlpine Street. This is when John Boyle, his wife (Margaret Gallocher), James Boyle, Charles Kerr, John Stewart, and others devised a wicked scheme to entrap Francis for assault on Mrs. Boyle. They lured Francis to the shop with suggestion that some of the amount owed would be paid, then asked him to go to the back room to check on a faulty water pipe. Mrs. Boyle was waiting for him in the dark room and pulled him down while exposing herself. The police were summoned and Francis was taken to the police office. He was charged with alleged assault, with intent to commit rape and disorderly conduct. Francis was tried at the police court where the charges were dropped due to discrepancy in the evidence. The perpetrators were then charged with conspiracy to extort money , for assault, and perjury. </span></span></div>

I've been very lucky to have relatives share photos with me. One of my cousins have a wonderful album of her father's mostly taken during WWII when he was an airplane mechanic. While stationed in England it looks like he had a chance to visit family. This photo is labeled Smith and company in Bournemouth, England. This would have been my great grandmother's, Edith Elinore Smith (Warry), family. It would be nice to have names to the faces. </div>

I first came across the name of Gordon Terrace in my 2nd great grandmother’s, Catherine Paterson (nee Muirhead) inventory at her death in 1897. It’s listed as rents of heritage property with the names and amounts of who owed rent. I thought it was interesting that she had property in Ayrshire when she lived in Lanarkshire by Airdrie. </span></span></span></div>

Going through the records from 1865 to 1925 lead me to discover that Gordon Terrace was important to the Scottish women of my family. These records even revealed the married name of my 2nd great grandmother’s older sister, Christina. The 1885 valuation roll listed the owner’s name as Christina Muirhead or Riggs. </span></span></span></div>

From 1865 to 1885, Christina Rigg (nee Muirhead) was listed as the owner. After Christina’s death in 1889 the property goes to her sister, Catherine Paterson (nee Muirhead) Mrs. Paterson is listed as the owner in 1895. Catherine died in 1897. Gordon Terrace now goes to Catherine’s eldest daughter, Kate Greenlees (nee Paterson) and her youngest daughter, Jessie Paterson. The valuation roll for 1905 list Miss Jessie Paterson or Mrs. Kate Paterson or Greenlees as owners. Kate Greenlees dies in 1905 leaving the property to her sister, Jessie Paterson. Miss Jessie Paterson is the owner in 1920 and 1925. </span></span></span></div>

In both Christina’s and Catherine’s death records, George Muirhead and Catherine Kennedy were listed as their parents. Just the verification that I needed to tie the sisters together. Christina’s death records is very informative. She died at the age of 80 years at 5 Gordon Terrace, St Quivox, Ayrshire on August 27, 1889. Christina is listed as the widow of the spade manufacturer, James Rigg. Her niece, Kate Paterson (Catherine’s daughter) is the informant at her death.</span></span></span></div>

The only one who lived there was Christina as she was listed there in the 1881 census and in her death record. I love the fact that not only were the men of my Scottish ancestry property owners but the women as well. This is just a part of the story of Gordon Terrace. Who had the property before 1865? What happened to the property after 1925 or when Jessie dies in 1938? Did the property pass on to another woman, maybe Jessie niece (Jessie Paterson White)?</span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">

This article seems very appropriate for this romantic day. I found this couple intriguing as my Scottish ancestors were from Lanark, Scotland. What a great story of love although I'm skeptical of the details - baptized the same day, same church, same birth date, same death date, and of course no ailments. What a busy midwife to be helping two babies into the world within the same hour. Like all documents written many years ago William Douglas's wife is not mentioned by name. I've tried to find who the Douglass were but I've not been able to discover their identity. </span></span></span></div>

It's interesting to note that under religion denomination that Milford is stated as a Baptist and his wife, Alice and the children are Methodist. Milford's obituary says that he was a member of the Baptist Church at Falkland Ridge, but was active with the United Church in Nicholsville.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">My best research achievement in 2014 was discovering more about my Finnish side on my maternal great grandmother's side. It all started with the help of a Finnish cousin. Once I discovered the parish they came from and how the records worked, I discovered many cousins and ancestors. I wrote posts for both my Finnish 2nd great grandparents <a href="http://jacqueline-journeyback.blogspot.ca/2014/09/52-ancestors-matti-mattinpoika.html" target="_blank">Matti Mattinpoika Haukijärvi</a> and <a href="http://jacqueline-journeyback.blogspot.ca/2014/08/52-ancestors-britta-maria-polo.html" target="_blank">Britta Maria Juhontytär Polo</a>. The record that help get my Finnish research started was the marriage record for <a href="http://www.sukuhistoria.fi/sshy/kirjat/Kirkonkirjat/pudasjarvi/vihityt_1852-1879_ik386/30.htm" target="_blank">Matti and Britta Maria</a>.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">For 2015 I would like to find out more information about my Finnish great grandfather Jaakko Makie or Makela. I have very little information about him. All I know about him is that he was born in Finland about 1883, I'm not even sure where. I'm not sure of his correct name and spelling. He lived in North Dakota, USA by Towner county where his children where born. He moved to the Coteau area in Saskatchewan about 1911. Jaakko ended up in Rich Lake, Alberta where he died in 1964 and he is buried in the Fork Lake Cemetery.</span></span></div>
