!BIRTH-RESIDENCE-CHILDREN-PARENTS-WIFE:
Letter from Scott Briton, September. 1996:
From "Genealogical & personal history of Allegheny Valley, PA...," by John W.
Jordan, copyright 1913: pg. 1127-Egbert the name dates in America from 1660 whe
Governor Egbert came from Holland on the ship "Spotted Cow" and settled in New
Amsterdam. The family has spread (sounds like a disease??) to all parts of the
America and in the line of William Egbert, particularly, has produced many men
eminent in the medical profession. There is no evidence that Tunis Egbert, the
ancestor of the Egbert line, was related to Gov.
Egbert, but the supposition is that they were father and son. It lists much
more info that this, but here's the important stuff: (II) Tunis Egbert, bought
land on Staten Island in 1698, lists children....; (III) Abraham, married
Francyntje Parain (Perrine), lists children...; (IV) John, born Staten Island,
settled near Cranberry, Monmouth (now Middlesex) Co, NJ (John-there were Dye's
in Cranberry), wife Margaret, lists children...; (V) William, baptized 16 Oct
1753-Monmouth Co, NJ, was a trooper in the Rev. War, sustained powder burns on
his face and was permanently marked, migrated to western PA in 1800 and was the
first white settler in that part of Mercer Co (now Sandy Lake Twp), was a
shoemaker & owned a tannery, married Elizabeth Job, died 1816, children: Job
(lived in Georgetown, OH), Sarah (b. 5 May1783), Clarissa, Charlotte, Ursula,
Elizabeth, and Lewis. Boy does that Sarah sound familiar!!
The birth date is even close (drop the 2 in 25 and add a year). That was all
that they listed about her though. I'm going to bet that this one is her, but
then again, it is only a guess. If you want, I can send the rest of the info
(dates, children, etc) later if either of you are interested.
[1681]
Finally, from "History of Mercer County, PA...," by Brown, Runk, & Co.
Publishers, copyright 1888: pg. 297, under listing of notable Rev. War soldier
of the area-William Egbert, settler of Sandy Lake as early as 1800, was a
pioneer blacksmith. An old Rev. War veteran, who entered the Twp. in 1800 and
took up land upon which his descendants still reside. He opened the 1st
blacksmith shop in the entire community.
[1682]
I looked up in the Morman IGI the Egberts, and therere are a bunch of them. Th
following is what I found that should correspond to what you found in "Alleghen
Valley".
[1683]
Children of William EGBERT and Rebecca JOB, married 1775 Shrewsbury, Monmouth,
New Jersey
[1684] Charlotte F 9 Dec 1790 Of Mercer
[1685] Clarissa F Abt 1786 Of Mercer
[1686] Daniel M 1776 Of Sandy Lake Mercer
[1687] Elizabeth F 15 Apr 1796 of Hickory Twp. Mercer
[1688] Job M 12 Dec 1778 Of Sandy Lake Mercer
[1689] Lewis M 17 May 1798 Old Elizabeth Tw Allegany
[1690] Sarah F 5 Oct 1780 Of Mercer
[1691] Ursula F 10 Jan 1793 Of Mercer
[1692]
There are some differences. William's wife is shown as Rebecca JOB rather than
Elizebeth JOB. Sarah's birthdate (which is critical to me) is altogether
differenct from what the book or my bible record says. And there is another
son, Lewis that the book did not mention (maybe he died young).

[630]
Donald McCuaig was born in Kildalton Parish on the island of
Islay, Argyleshire on 7 March, 1762. He was the son of Donald
McCuaig (8), a blacksmith, and his wife Katherine Hunter (9).
Our knowledge of Donald's birth is due entirely to the tenacity
of the indexers of the Scottish Old Parochial Registers. Many of
the older registers, such as this one from Kildalton, are
severely damaged and are virtually unreadable. Yet the indexers
found the essential information. An example was this a torn
smeared fragment at the bottom of one page from 1762 which reads:
[631]
...ch 17 Dond M'Cuaig smith in .....
.... two male children in bapt.....
.... the other Donal...
[632] Translation:
[633]
March 17, 1762, Donald McCuaig, a blacksmith in Kildalton
(Islay), baptized two sons (twins?), Donald and (name
unknown).
[634]
It cannot be absolutely certain that this register entry is the
one for our Donald McCuaig (4), father of Neil McCuaig (2). But
there are no other reasonable options in the registers. It is
either this entry (which is a good match) or we must concede that
the information on the correct Donald McCuaig has been lost. We
have to search farther to find the name of Donald's mother. This
is deduced from the marriage records of the Kildalton Parish
where we find that Donald McCuaig married Katherine Hunter in
1750 (twelve years before our Donald was born).
[635] Donald and Margaret were married in Campbeltown on 4 Sept 1796:
[636]
"September [1796] Donald McCuaig & Margaret MacMillan of
this Parish Married Here 4"
[637]
Donald would have been 34 years old. This seems a bit old for a
first marriage. There might have been an earlier marriage (no
documentation exists for this) or he simply married late in life.
Both were listed as "of this parish" meaning that they were
residents of Campbeltown. This would establish the date of
Donald's removal to Campbeltown as prior to 1796. The distance
between Kildalton and Campbeltown could be covered in a day's
travel by foot and boat. Therefore, we must assume that there
may have been frequent visits and correspondence between the
different parts of the McCuaig family
[638]
Donald McCuaig (4) apparently was trained as a carpenter.
Recorded with the birth of each of his children between 1805 and
1818 was his profession where he is listed as a "carpenter". In
1803 he is listed as a "ships carpenter". For 1797 through 1801
he is listed with no profession, possibly because he had not yet
achieved journeyman status or he was not working at any
particular trade. However, this seems unlikely, in view of his
mature age at that time.
[639]
Donald (4) and Margaret (5) had nine children according to the
Parochial Register. All the children were born in Campbeltown:
[640]
1. John 23 May 1797, emigrated to America
before 1828
2. Isabell 22 May 1799
3. Neill 20 April 1801, emigrated to America in 1842
4. Kenneth 7 Aug 1803, emigrated to America in 1846
5. More 8 Sept 1805
6. Jean 8 Mar 1808
7. Margaret 20 Oct 1810
8. Donald 1 Feb 1814
9. Charlotte 29 Oct 1818
[641]
Because Donald was a skilled tradesman and lived in town, we can
assume that his family's life was somewhat more comfortable than
those living on the farms. We can further assume that his
children may have availed themselves of more education than would
have been available in the countryside.
[642]
No information has yet been found concerning the deaths and
burial of Donald and Margaret. It is presumed that they died
while residents of Campbeltown. However, a search of Campbeltown
Cemetery found no grave stone for them. Since many of the stones
are badly eroded, this is not surprising.
