CH3/1069/1 Kennethmont Free Church, United Free, Ardlair Church of Scotland, Minutes 1843-1921 P. 16 1843 October 8 Compeared Alexander Fraser a young unmarried man resident in Law and confesses having been guilty of the sin of fornication with Helen Mackie an unmarried woman. The case being known to be correctly stated, he was rebuked and …to appear an next meeting of session. P. 18 1843 November 5 Compeared Alexander Fraser as cited at last meeting of session. On account of his youth this man never having been a communicant the session resolves to carry his case by reference to the presbytery for advice. After being seriously and affectionately exhorted to repentance he was cited to appear again at next meeting of session P. 20 1843 December 3 The session then took up the case of Alex. Fraser. The moderator reported that the session has been enjoined to proceed in this case as they may deem fit. Taking all things into consideration they resolved to free him from church censure. Further, it did not appear to the session that his not having communicated could .. him from the privilege of receiving baptism to hi child provided he himself had been baptized and now made an intelligent profession of his faith. Being called in he was acquainted with the resolution of the session and after being admonished was absolved from church censure. p. 190 1846 January 25 A certificate of poverty was granted to Helen Mackie to enable her to prosecute William Anderson with a .. to affiliate a child which she said she had by him. ALEXANDER FRASER AND HIS FAMILY A number of questions remain about events in the lives of Alexander and his family. Census records in Scotland were not as helpful as usual but some facts were gathered from Old Parish Records. It is a sure thing that he and Helen Mackie hahahad a child together, Annie Susan Beattie Fraser. It isn't certain whether they were married or for how long they might have remained married. The few records available here are confusing and a lack of knowledge about family customs in Scotland in the mid-1850s made it more difficult. In the 1851 census, about eight years after Alexander's daughter Annie Susan was born, he is living with his stepmother and brother. His wife (?) Helen Mackie appears to be living with her son James Anderson and daughter Annie Susan Fraser. Both she and Alexander list their addresses as "The Law" which may be a small village or a farming (Kinnethmont is often spelled as Kennethmont.) This may or may not be meaningful. Records for Alexander have not been found past this point. He may also have eventually immigrated to the United States but has not been located. As for Helen Mackie, she used "Mackie, her maiden name, throughout her life in Scotland. This was a common custom for women in Scotland and likely has no other meaning. She was first found in the 1841 census, single and living with a large group of people, some of whom are Mackies. In 1851 she is with her son James Anderson, age 9-10 and daughter Annie Susan Fraser, age 7. No information on the father of James Anderson is given so, whether Helen was married for a short period before she and Alexander came together, is unknown. James could possibly have been a foster child. Annie Susan Beattie Fraser, daughter of Alexander and Helen, had married and given birth to three children. Her husband's name, in current family records, was given as Thain Fraser. The Old Parish Registers list her three children as being born to Annie alone. This apparently was not unusual: the father's name may be included in the Register but one should draw no conclusions if it was missing. Only two further references to Thain have been found while doing this tree. Annie's third child is named William Thain Fraser, born in late 1868. Years later, in the 1925 state census of Iowa in the United States, William lists the name of his father as "Thane Fraser." Annie's first son is named James Anderson Fraser, indicating that she and her brother had a very good relationship. In 1872, five of these persons would immigrate to the United States, settling in Iowa. James Anderson, son of Helen Mackie, became the head of the household. His mother accompanied them but now gave her name as Ellen Anderson. Helen and Elln are often used interchangeably in Scotland. She would remain Ellen throughout the remainder of her life in the United States. It's not known why she now used "Anderson" as her surname. Her daughter Annie Susan Fraser would also accompany them as would Annie's two younger childlren. Annie's first child, James Anderson Fraser was not with them. He may have died earlier or remained in Scotland. No further records have been found on him. In 1882, Annie Susan would marry again - a William McHugh who was a neighboring farmer. Once she disappeared from her first home in America where she had lived with her mother, brother, and two children, it became very difficult to find her. A search for an Anne from Scotland finally showed someone of this background to be in the same county. But this person listed a later year of birth. And there were so many Anne's from Scotland now in Iowa. That she was the right one was finally verified by looking at marriage record for Anne and William McHugh. The bride's name, written as Annie S. B. Fraseur, could be no one else. From old parish records in Scotland, Annie most definitely was born in 1843, making her a number of years older than her husband, William. Further census reports after her marriage list her year of birth much later than 1843, possibly an effort on her part to seem closer in age to her husband. Annie and William would have four children. Annie's brother, James Anderson, would soon marry as would her daughter and son. They all raised families. | Mackie, Helen (I5949)

She married William J McHugh, had three children and is buried in Greene county Iowa. That is the short version. Karen: I am very interested in learning more about the Frasier family!! I have two letters that Annie wrote to my great-great grandfather, Edward Frasier. I can send scans if you're interested. I have much more to share with you. My email address is karen@road13.com. I'd love to hear more than just the 'short version"... Alan: Yes, I am very interested in seeing the letters. my e-mail is jotc48@hotmail.com I will have to shift my thinking cap over to that side of the family to get it all straight. One of my sisters probably knows more than I do but I can not get her motivated to put it all down. If you go to member connect for Anna Susanna I should show up. I do not know how it lists my tree, maybe A Hayes or jotc. I will get back with you via normal e-mail. Thanks, Alan Hayes Karen: was in Scotland earlier this year on a genealogy trip - part of the goal was to learn more about my Frasier (Fraser) ancestry and I learned quite a lot. Annie Susan (as my family knew her) was descended from Alexander Fraser, and my side of the family is descended from Alexander's brother Andrew Fraser. Andrew's and Alexander's father was John, and I see that our trees on Ancestry are in agreement on all of this. John Fraser has been a dead-end for us for a long time. I had hohoped that my trip to Scotland would push the line back farther but I didn't have much luck. I did spend a lot of time looking at the Fraser/Beattie families. I also posted information on my blog. You will find the following posts interesting (it will make the most sense if you go through them in reverse order) .And by the way, I hope you don't find my blog writings offensive. You probably already know that Annie Susan was of illegitimate birth. Such matters were dealt with very quietltly on my Swedish side of the family, but in Scotland it was a matter for public discussion and discipline from the church. Andrew and Alexander had a younger half-brother Joseph who never married. He named his nieces and nephews in his will, annd there was a lot of correspondence between Scotland and America in 1900-1901 as his estate was probated. I am in possession of all of the original paperwork. I've attached the two letters from Annie to this email, but I've also included them in a zip file that contains everything I have about the estate settlement: I have my complete family tree online with all supporting documents. Here is a link to John Fraser, you can navigate from there (and download pedigree charts, gedcoms, etc.). I also have a wedding photo Elizabeth McHugh and possibly other photos from your side of the family - I am behind on my scanning so I will have to check. You are descended from Elizabeth, correct? Just this past week I have been communicating with cousins of mine regarding DNA testing on our Fraser line, hinting at a connection (maybe Andrew's and Alexander's uncle?) up in Canada. FYI, I am 56 years old living in Colorado with my husband. We have four children but are now empty-nested. My husband and I are both civil engineers. Genealogy is my obsession, it's why my house is never clean. Alan: I looked at what I have put down in Ancestry. I got some of this information more or less second hand but it makes sense. Apparently she was married in Scotland to a Thain Frasier (or what ever way they spelled it) about 1862. They had three children: James born 1863, Helen Georgiana born July 4, 1865 and William Thain born 1868. She, her mother Helen Mackie and two of her children came to the states in 1878. In 1882 she marries William J McHugh in Greene county Iowa. I do knot think she gave her correct age as she was much older and probably did not tell him about the children being hers. I do remember hearing bits about "Cousin Nellie" who was actually Helen Georgiana but went by Nellie. She married a Runyon. She actually had 4 children with William J McHugh, but the oldest son Howard died very young. Then there was Mary Anna born 1884, Elizabeth born 1886 and William Foster born 1889. Elizabeth was my grandmother. Her older sister Mary Anna never married and we called her Aunt Mollie. Both of them used a lot of Scottish words and Phrases even in their older years. I was surprised to see someone researching this particular line of the family and really shocked to see a DNA match. Thanks, Alan Karen: The records from Scotland seem to tell a somewhat different story. I believe Annie Fraser and Helen Mackie came to America with Helen's son James Anderson (Annie's half-brother) and Annie's two children Helen and William. Helen Georgiana''s father may have been a Ewing. William's father was George Thain. I don't know if "Thain Frasier" was a cover story or simply people not being able to keep a confusing set of facts straight... Of course I might be all wet on all of this! I have examples on both sides of my family and in my husband's family of people going to extraordinary lengths to conceal illegitimate birth once they get to America. Maybe it was just a chance to start fresh, I don't know. Makes for fun mystery-solving, though! Alan: Wow this is very interesting. Yes, it has been said that she was born out of wedlock by others. I suppose she did come to a new world to start anew and she did. Dana as she refers to in the letter is where they lived in Greene county. Shhhe was very instrumental in the early Presbyterian church in Jefferson, where I was born, almost 68 years ago. Elizabeth was indeed my grandmother. She married W D Gilchrist who was a veterinarian. Aunt Mollie (Mary Anna) was a school teacher and never married. What a cool lady to say the least. She broke a leg in about 1949 and was bedridden at Grandma's house. She had my older sister reading and printing the alphabet at the age of three. William Foster or Uncle Foster as we called hi hiim farmed some when we knew him and always took good care of his sisters. He had to spend a little time in prison during the depression for making whiskey and we always thought that was pretty cool. The Ironic thing is the same whiskey he made i is now famous and being sold as Tempelton Rye to all the yuppies. to say the least she must have been quite a lady. As for me, I am a semi retired aircraft mechanic. I have spent the last 50 years working on, modifying and restoring agricultural aircraft. Two sons, one a graphic designer and one an airline pilot. I am very interested in learning more about Anna Susanna. Thanks, Alan | Fraser, Ann Susan Beattie (I1133)

| 515 | Charles was born the oldest of 2 children to Salathiel and Lydia Timmons just the year before his father went off to fight in the Civil War. His father came home when he was 4 or 5 years old. Charles and his parents, along with his younger sister Effie moved to Boone, Iowa in 1881, and in 1890 moved to a farm 2 miles north and 1/2 mile west of Malvern, Iowa. The 1880 Census shows Salathiel and Lydia, 45 and 40, live with their children Charles F. 19 and Effie N. in Humbolt Township in Illinois. Effie was 12. On their farm they had an apple orchard and raised chickens. After marrying Emily Bass, they lived for a short time southwest of Malvern, then moved to a farm northwest of Red Oak, then to a farm southwest of Pacific Junction, Iowa. In 1907 they sold this farm and bought a farm south of Ashland, Ne. They sold that farm in 1915 and moved to Valley, NE with their 6 children, and lived on a farm 1 1/2 miles north of town, where Charles continued farming until his death.

| 516 | Christian attended the common schools in Sweden and while still a boy worked as a coachman. He came to the US when he was about 30 years old. His brothers Johannes and Andrew immigrated to Sauk Center, Minnesota; his brother Nils remained in Sweden. Christian worked for two or three years near Ashland, NE, as a farm hand and cattle feeder. He then bought a farm in Chapman precinct, near Weston, and started farming. Johanna came to this country with her parents, probably in the early 1870s. Some records list her name as Johanna Nilsdotter. Christian grew the standard crops for the area and had livestock. The family also had an orchard and a small patch of tobacco. Johanna maintained a flower garden. Like most farmers of the area, Christian brought wheat to a mill in Wahoo, which was ground into flour for home use. Christian continued to farm on his land in Chapman precinct until 1901, when he purchased a farm in Stocking precinct and moved there. Christian and Johanna had eight children. One day most likely in 1876, when Christian and Johanna were outside working, their farmhouse caught fire and was destroyed. Inside were their two children, Peter and Oscar, who probably were twins. The boys, one crippled and the other tied to a high chair, died in the fire. Their next two children were boys, who they also named Peter and Oscar. Christian and Johanna were members of the Baptist church in Weston. Christian was a religious and stern man and a Republican. He had red hair, which he wore rather long as was the custom, and his hair complimented his full red beard. Christian eventually owned 480 acres of farmland. When he died, each of his sons received a farm as an inheritance - or the equal thereof. Fritz inherited the home farm in Chapman precinct and Oscar inherited the farm in Stocking precinct. Johanna lived her final years with her daughter Lida in a small house in Weston. PAST AND PRESENT OF SAUNDERS COUNTY: Christian Pearson was for many years engaged in farming in Chapman precinct, but his last years were spent in Stocking precinct, where he purchased land in 1901. A native of Sweden, he was born on New Year's Eve, 1837. He attended the common schchools in his native land and while still a boy worked as a coachman. He remained in Sweden until he was about thirty years of age, when he emigrated to the United States, and for two or three years he worked in the vicinity of Ashland, Nebraska, as a farm hand for a big cattle feeder. He then bought land in Chapman precinct and carried on agricultural pursuits successfully there for almost three decades, after which he purchased land in Stocking precinct, where he resided until his death in October, 1907. Mr. Pearson was married to Miss Johanna Olson, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Nils Olson, both natives of Sweden, who, however, emigrated to the United States. To Mr. and Mrs. Pearson were born eight children, two of whom are deceased, the others being: William, a resident of Ceresco who married Miss Clara Brodd and has four children; Oscar, who is living on the home place; Lena, the wife of Dave Peterson, of Strombsburg, Nebraska, by whom she has two children; Fritz, who is living near Ceeresco and who married Miss Maggie Dobley and has one child; Ernest, who is residing near Waverly and married Nellie Clay, by whom he has a child; and Lida, who is living at Weston and is the widow of Joe A. Novak. Mr. Pearson was a republican in politics and always took a commendable interest in affairs of public concern.

From Mary Anne Hrubesky: Scottish Roots - The Duncan Campbells Several further details of the Duncan Campbell family while in Scotland have been found using the IGI - the International Genealogical Index - searching through the "batch numbers" (groupings of marriages and christenings) of various Scottish counties. Clues as to where to look were provided by ancestors of John and Janet Campbell, children of Duncan and Elizabeth Campbell, who had settled in Houston County, Minnesota. 1. Elizabeth's maiden name has been given as "Tange." This was apparently provided by her son John and appeared on his death certificate. 2. Janet Campbell, daughter of Elizabeth and Duncan, was listed as being born in Crieff, Perth, Scotland. The following information will now be used for the following: «u»Duncan Campbell «/u» He was born in Crieff, Perthshire, Scotland.

Her date of "christening" is 12 Jul 1795 Parents James Tainsh and Betty Taylor Note: "Tainsh" is is believed to be her maiden name.
