| 3951 | This is added tentatively until proven otherwise. It is so far only based on the following excerpt (brackets mine): THE SCOTT FAMILY By Nelson Mason, Grandson of William Addison Scott A family history of the Scotts is contained in two leaves from an old family bible in my mother's possession, herewith reproduced under date of February 12, 1905. The only sister of CHARLES STUART, called the Pretender (Bonnie Prince Charlie), married John Gilmor. Their daughter, Mary Gilmor, married Robert Scott. | GILMORE, John (I3151)

| 3953 | this is an assumption that this Elizabeth is a child of James CALDWELL by her birthdate and the proximity of her dwelling to the other Caldwell's of this line when she was married. | CALDWELL, Elizabeth (I1887)

| 3954 | This is determined from her son Richard's marriage record. He states his mother was 73 at death. Some have thought she died in the Halifax Explosion, but that was in Dec. 1917 and her son Richard was married in Oct. 1917 and his mother was already deceased. | MARPLE, Elizabeth (I10787)

| 3960 | This is only a guess that this Christopher Ward was a son of John Ward, Lord of Barton Manor. Only because he died in Barton. John Ward's daughter Winnifred was his only heir, and this makes sense, since Christopher died before John. | WARD, Christopher (I7782)

| 3961 | This is possibly the Cuthbert Ward who built and lived in Newlandside Hall in Stanhope. Excerpt from 'All Around Stanhope': "NEWLANDSIDE HALL. This building is pleasantly situated, and is of modern construction. It was formerly the seat of the Wards, and is said to have been built by one Cuthbert Ward, whose memory is recorded on a limestone altar tomb in the parish churchyard, as follows :- In Memory of Cuthbert Ward, Gentleman, and Elizabeth, his wife, of Newlandside Hall, who departed this life. Elizabeth, July the 12th, 1769, aged 56 years. Cuthbert, December the 9th, 1776, aged 68 years. Cuthbert Ward was in early life a sea captain, and at his death the estate was inherited by his son, Captain Ward. The estate afterwards came into the hands of the Harvey family, of Newcastle, then into the Newlandside Estate Co., and it is now owned by the company above mentioned." Excerpt from The history and antiquities of the county palatine of Durham , etc.,Published 1857 "Newlandside Hall, an ancient estate of the Wards, is the property of the representatives of the Harvey family, timber merchants, of Newcastle." Excerpt from Weardale in Old Photographs: "Apparently there was a rough causeway here as recorded in 1777 when footpads, having robbed Captain Ward of Newlandside and Thomas Robinson of Bushey Flat, fled across the causeway tearing up planks behind them to hinder their pursuers." Excerpt from An Historical, Topographical, and Descriptive View of the County Palatine of Durham: "Newlandside Hall, an ancient estate of the Wards, is the seat of John Rippon, Esq." I found some photos of the ruins of Newlandside Hall online, with this caption: "Many of the farms, particularly in the Stanhope area have suffered from the effects of quarrying. Many have disappeared altogether such as Ely House, Mellenberry, Hollin House and East & West Capplespeth. Two still remaining, Shield Ash and Newlandside Hall are tottering on the edge. Photos 1 & 2 (Courtesy of Judith Bainbridge) show Newlandside in the 1950s the others show it in 2012" Excerpt from Natural History Transactions of Northumberland, Durham, and Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Volume 7: "In descending from Thimbleby Hill (nearly twelve hundred feet), after passing Newlandside Hall, the ancient seat of the Wards, the quarries of Newlandside were inspected, where blasting by means of dynamite was being proceeded with, and which operation was viewed from a safe distance with much interest. Here some lead ore was shown which appeared to be rich in metal. The hill side was then gradually descended, through fields where hay making was in process. The hedgerows were studded with the Woodruif, Asperula odorata, in bloom, its sweet aroma being very grateful. In the bed of the -Wear a remarkable bed of Basalt first described by Sir W. C. Trevelyan was pointed out. After crossing the Wear by the picturesque stone bridge Stanhope Hall was visited." Excerpt from The Antiquities of the Abbey Or Cathedral Church of Durham. Also a Particular Description of the County Palatine of Durham, Compiled from the Best Authorities and Original Manuscripts: "Names of the Castles and Mansion-houses belonging to Nobility and Principal Gentry in this County... Newlandside Hall, near Stanhope, to Cuthbert Ward, Esq." | WARD, Cuthbert (I7751)

| 3962 | This is probably the John Ward who was beheaded during the Civil War:"Three were afterwards executed at London and one at Durham, and these eight (apart from the Earl of Northumberland) were the only men of property or position who were put to death. Indeed it may be said that, with the single exception of the Earl of Northumberland, beheaded at York, 22nd August 1572, none of the real instigators of the rebellion were ever brought to justice. With the common people it was otherwise. They were hanged by scores in every town and village, not necessarily the most guilty, but an arbitrary number, " as the bigness of the place is " — the object being to terrorise the people. Several hundreds, at the lowest estimate, were hanged in sight of their homes, on the village greens and market-places in this district. And although there is reason to believe that the order was not in general carried out to its extreme limit, Bedale was dealt with with exceptional severity. The whole five appointed for execution, out of a total of thirty-one, were duly put to death, as appears from the diary of Sir George Bowes. Their names are Christofer Nyxson of Bedell, Thomas Dickenson of Ayskew, and Wylliam Harreson, John Warde, and Thomas Symondson, all of Craikall. Some human remains dug up near the entrance to the Rectory have been supposed to be the relics of these unfortunate men. " | Source (S1037)

| 3966 | This is the John Ward mentioned in the will of Joan Ward (His aunt), sister of Sir Roger Ward (1430-1472) as follows: "I will, with the consent of Nicholas Warde, my brother, that a tenement at Skelton go to John Warde, son of Sir Roger Warde, deceased, after the death of the said Nicholas." (My note): It is not known whether this John Ward actually received the tenement at Skelton. However, in the book 'Memorials of the Church of St. Peter and Wilfrid' there is the following entry: "The Prebend of Munckton according to the antient Survey. Item of John Warde, William Smithe, Thomas Steele, Thomas Tailor and others in the Towne of Skellton, p. Ann. 40s." Also, according to the book 'Mary Ward - A World in Contemplation' it says: "In 1502 John took possession of a farm with appurtenances in Great Ouseburn and at the same time fifteen properties with appurtenances in Great Ouseburn, Brampton and Haytfield, as well as one third of the mill in Brampton and of a manor, also in Great Ouseburn" | WARD, John (I7880)

| 3973 | This John Scott is the one in the 'Scott Bible'. He was a sargeant in the Royal Fencible Americans sent to Fort Cumberland to defend it during the 'Eddy Rebellion' of 1776. This is why he would not have appeared in the Amherst 1770 census. The Royal Fencibles stayed on at Fort Cumberland for the duration of the war and in the winter of 1780 were recalled back to Halifax. They made the march on snowshoes and on Oct 10th, 1783 they were disbanded. There was also a Robert Scott, also in the Royal Fencibles, who also owned land right next to John Scott. I am going to speculate that they were brothers. I believe John Scott was also the 'Captain John Scott' in the Albany County Militia, as per this page: http://dunhamwilcox.net/ny/ny_rev_bounty_lands_albany.htm _________________________________ Deeds Peter Campbell to John Scott (Peter Campbell is a 1768 Amherst Township Grantee) Book C 170, 10 SEP 1782 ``Know all me by these present, I Peter Campbell of Amherst Township in the county of Cumberland… Yeoman for and in consideration of eleven pounds Halifax currency to me in hand paid by John Scott, Sergeant in the Royal Fencible American Regiment … three certain lotts or Rights of lands situated in the Town of Cumberland and known by the name of the Hutt lotts Number Nine, Ten, and Eleven containing in the whole six acres more or less by the plan of the said township which was purchased by me from Mehetable Bearste as by her deed Registered in the Registers office and bearing the date of the Eleventh day of July 1799 (sic, must have meant 1779) … .

|
| 3988 | This William (or perhaps his son William) is likely the Ingleby who passed on the Manor of Barton, near Richmond, to John Warde as follows: "The village is recorded as Bartun in the Domesday Book. At the time of the Norman invasion the manor was split between Earl Edwin and Ulf. Afterwards it was granted to Count Alan of Brittany. In turn he granted the manor to Godric, the steward.[2] The manor was split, unified and then split again during the 13th century. At the time of Henry III, the manor was following the descent of Richmond. In 1227, part of the lands were granted to Richard of Cornwall and then to Peter de Brus, lord of Skelton. The manor was further split into mesne lordships, of which Roald of Richmond held one in 1286 and which then followed the descent of the Scropes of Bolton. Other parts of the manor were granted to William de Lancaster around 1235. By 1330 the lands had passed to the Mowbray family. When their direct descent ended in 1391, the manor was passed to the Ingleby's of Ripley. In 1579 this line too ended and the land passed to John Ward who descendents via marriages included the Dodsworth and Killinghall families until 1762. The second part of the manor was passed to John de Huddleston around 1316. These eventually passed to the descendants of the manors of Barforth and Cleasby. The remaining mesne lordship was held Raplh, son of Ranulph of Richmond in 1268 and passed eventually to the Wandesford family and finally to the Dodsworths" | INGLEBY, William (I9135)

| 3989 | This William could be descended from the William Ward born 1610, who was married in Forcett in 1630 | WARD, William (I7767)

| 3992 | Thomas Berry was one of the pioneers of Cumberland County and had a land grant at Two Islands, Parrsboro. "Thomas Berry and Mary Scott were joined in the ties of matrimony, August twenty-third one thousand seven hundred and eighty-one by the Rev. James Murdock, in Amherst, County of Cumberland and Province of Nova Scotia." The original of this certificate was in the possession of Isaac A. Berry who died in the winter of 1913-14 in Danvers, Mass. The Berry's were land speculators and farmers and some of them were quite well off because of it. Thomas Berry sold land in Cumberland County to John Stuart of Amherst in Apr 20, 1790 it was signed by himself and his wife Mary, William Hall (his stepfather) and Nancy Hall (his mother). It was witnessed by Isaac Forest, David Forest and Robert Berry (his brother). In Dec 28, 1790 Thomas Berry of Amherst sold more land to William Freeman, Esq and it was signed by Thomas Berry and Mary his wife. He sold back and forth for many years and then in Aug 1, 1809 Thomas Berry was then from Parrsboro and sold land in Amherst. Thomas Berry of Parrsboro was still alive 17 Apr 1815 as more transactions were taking place for land in Amherst.. It seems that most of the land speculating was done between Robert's sons named Robert and Thomas and very little done by William and Andrew. | BERRY, Thomas (I2229)
