78	see Did Duncan Lamont marry a Macdonald of Skye? It seems likely. If so, then the genealogy would be as so: Son Lamont born before 1385 married ? with children: A. Son Lamont born c1400 on Skye? With children: B. James Lamont born c1440 Skye married ? with childre C. William Lamont born c1468 skye, mentioned in 1508, son of James, is the first Lamont known definetly to have resided on Skye. He had been named as one of the King's tenants in Trotternish in 1508. As he is listed along with Martins and Nicolsons - old administrative families in Trotternish - we may assume that William was also of that class, 'Lowman" deriving from lagmann. We may also assume that he is the Gulialmus archijudex - William, chief judge - who witnessed a charter by the Lord of Trotternish in 1485. It would have been in line with the policy of James IV to introduce the Lowland laws by training young members of the old legal families in the new legal ways. He m. ? with ch; D. Kenneth Lamont born c1498 Skye (this is the first Lamont mentioned in Skye oral traditions) Kenneth Lamont, described as Coinneach mac Uilleim vic Semus ( Kenneth, son of William, son of James) lived in the last years of the 15th or early part of the 16th century. he is most likely to be the person referred to in a grant by King James IV of lands in Trotternish. As recorded in the Register of the Privy Seal No. 1654 (April 1508) the grant is to “Kanoch Willimsoun of the lands of Kilmartin and half of Baronesmor in Trotternish to maintain him at the schools and learn the laws (Lowland) of Scotland, and thereafter to return and practice the same in the Isles.” He appears to be the son of the ‘William Lowman’ or Lamont mentioned in 1507. This Kenneth is well known in Skye because in 1508 (when he must have been a boy, ) the Register of the Privy Seal (the Clerk of which was the brother of Drummond of Perth) records that the King granted him the terunga of Kilmartin and half the terunga of Baronesmore in Trotternish, to maintain him at the law schools and afterwards to act as a sort of Justice of the Peace. At the close of his training, he returned to Skye, and was long remembered for the severity with which he collected the King’s dues. The terunga of Kilmartin and half terunga of Baronesmore, so far as one can calculate, formed an irregular belt of land running across Trotternish from Staffin Bay to Skye Bay. The lands of eastern Trotternish in and north of the Kilmartin area, and in Western Trotternish around and north of Uig, contained notable concentrations of Lamonts from the early 18th century (when the first documentary evidence begins), and there are no Lamonts in any other part of Skye until nearly the end of that century. The 'Baronesmor' - hill of the great waterfall - of the 1508 grant is an old name for the Uig area, and the placenames keep alive the connection with a Kenneth. One of the strongest reasons for thinking that this is the ‘Kenneth’ to whom the Lamonts of Lyndale trace their descent is that this is the part of Trotternish in which Lamonts are found as far back as the existing rentals of Skye go. We find them clustered thickly around Staffin and Uig as early as 1718 and practically nowhere else in the whole island of Skye. By 1718 they were not landholders of the King, but merely comparatively modest tenants of MacDonald: but that is easily accounted for by the decay in fortune of the smaller families in Scotland, and especially in the Isles during the 16th and 17th centuries. It would appear, however, that the descendants of Kenneth were not dispossessed. They merely lost their stature as tenants-in-chief of the King, and became tenants of MacDonald. Kenneth’s principal residence near Uig (marked on present-day maps as ‘Peinchonnich’ was occupied in part or in whole, by a Lamont as far back as the MacDonald rentals go.- PEI Pedigrees. Kenneth married ? with children	?
79	Adair A brief history, The origin of this Gaelic name appears to be a variation of Edzaer and the first of the name is generally believed to have been a son of Duvenald, a leader at the Battle of the Standard in 1138 and grandson of Donegal of Morton Castle, a descendent of whose had a charter from Robert the Bruce of the lands of Kildonan. Sir Andrew Agnew states, in his work on the hereditary sheriffs of Galloway, that in the Lochnaw charter chest various deeds prove the name Edzaer and Adair to have been interchangeable with the Galloway Adairs. In a charter dated 1625 the name is spelt in both forms on the same page Many of the Galloway Adairs went to Ulster during the time of the Elizabethan Plantation and settled mainly in County Antrim. One Patrick Adair who settled in Antrim around 1641 became famous as the author of a major work on the rise of the presbyterian church in Ireland.

80	Alexander, called "de Ergadie" Knight Mac dougall of Lorn, was known territorially as 'de Ergadie,' The Macdougalls of Lorn were descended from the eldest son of Somerled.. During the thirteenth century this family was probably the most powerful in the West Highlands on both land and sea. Their ships traded to English ports, including that of Bristol. In 1284 the head of the family was Alexander of Lorn who, in that year, sat in the assembly which settled the crown on the Maid of Norway. His wife was a daughter of Sir John Comyn and an aunt of the Red Comyn slain by Bruce at Dumfries. It is probable that the family's intense and persistent opposition to the cause of Bruce was a result of that event. They were his bitterest enemies in Scotland, and he narrowly escaped death at their hands during the retreat from Methven in 1306.Sir Alasdair MacDOUGALL of Argyll a.k.a.

90	Obituary, 21 December 1926, Shelbyville Democrat, Shelbyville, IN Harry Harlan Bassett, son of Mrs. Mattie Bassett, died at her home, 719 First street at 8 o'clock Monday night of tuberculosis, following an illness during the past five months. He was twenty-six years, four months and three days old and was widely known in Shelbyville where his death is mourned by many friends and close acquaintences. He was born August 9, 1900, the son of Morton and Mattie Bassett. His entire life had been spent in Shelbyville and his active career had been devoted to the vocation of a mechanic. For several years Mr. Bassett has been connected with Shelbyville garages and he was extensively known for his ability and knowledge of all kinds of mechanical equipment. The death of Mr. Bassett removes a young man of high qualities of character and ends a career that was due to go far in the annals of the city. Mr. Bassett is survived by the mother and one brother Edward Bassett, of this city. The funeral service will be conducted in the late home at 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon. The Rev. Arvel Emmert, pastor of the church of the Nazarene, will officiate and burial will be in the Miller cemetery in Hendricks township. Platt & Murphy are the undertakers in charge of the arrangements. =============== Article in the Shelbyville Democrat, Shelbyville, IN; Friday 21 May 1920 HORRIBLY INJURED IN ACCIDENT TODAY Harry Bassett, son of Mrs. Martha Bassett, 620 Montgomery street was horribly injured this morning at about 10:30 o'clock when the automobile in which he and three companions were riding crashed thru a barbed wire fence on the Columbus pike, about one and a half miles from this city. His entire left ear was torn off by the wire and an ugly gash, five inches long extending from his lip to beneath the chin, was also inflicted, the jaw bone geing left exposed. His flesh was torn on several parts of his body, his left arm being terribly cut. His companions were also injured but not serious. William Parr suffered cuts on his back and a young man, a Mr. Imley, suffered injuries to his arms. The accident occurred when the machine ran into fresh gravel, the steering wheel breaking and sending the machine into the fence. The car was badly damaged. Bassett was brought to this city where he was attended by Dr. Sam Kennedy. It will be some time before he will be able to be up and around and it is said he will be disfigured for life.

91	Shelbyville Democrat 6 Jun 1895 Coroner Knapp was called to Brandywine twsp last Wednesday to hold an inquest on the remains of Mortimer Bassett, who had committed suicide bu shooting himslef with a shootgun. About two o'clock that afternnoon, Bassett took down his shotgun and informed his wife and her sister, who was there on a visit, that he intended going out and killing a few squirrels in order to give himself something to do. Shortly afterward the report of the gun, and going out behind the house Mrs basset found the lifeless form of her husband. he had placed the gun on a bench, pulled the trigger and ended his life, the load taking effect near the mouth, almost blowing his head off. There are several reasons among them being the fact that his wife had threatened to leave him that morning upon his return from Fairland, and return to her home among the Brown County hills. The thought of this, no doubt, drove him to commit the deed. Basset's firtst wqife died about a year ago, leaving him 4 children and fout months ago he went to Brown County and married Miss Collins. he was a poor man, aged forty-four years. Funeral services were held at brandywine at 10 a.m. Thursday. Rev. Seddgwick officated. Internment was in Brandywine Cemetery. Marshall G tindall was in charge of the remains and cortege.

99	Born "at sea" probably landing in Pennsylvania --------- The Scots-Irish: The Thirteenth Tribe http://www.ulsterancestry.com/ulster-scots.html As the years passed thousands of people crossed the Atlantic from Ulster, just as their ancestors had crossed the North Channel from Scotland a century or more before. However, by 1750 the pace of migration began to slow, as relatively normal conditions returned to Ulster after years of economic dislocation. The period of calm was all too brief. In 1771 a fresh wave of migration began, once again induced by the greed of the landlords, which was arguably to have serious consequences for the security of the British Empire in North America. Faced with a fresh series of rent hikes, local people at first mounted some resistance, gathered together in an organisation known as the Hearts of Steel; but the landlords had the law and the army on their side. In the short period left before the outbreak of the American Revolution a further 30,000 Ulstermen left for the colonies, joining some 200,000 who had already made their homes there earlier in the century. The contemporary image of the Ulster Protestant is most commonly that of the Orangeman, with all of his exaggerated loyalty to Britain and the Crown. For the dispossessed of the 1770s the opposite was true: they had lost everything, and came to America with an intense hostility towards all things British. For the original Quaker and Puritan settlers of the thirteen colonies, largely English in origin, the emigrants of Ulster, an increasingly common sight, were usually described as ‘Irish.’ To counter this misconception the newcomers adopted the older description of ‘Scots’. It was in this semantic exchange that a new breed took shape: they were the ‘Scots-Irish.’ For many years these people had lived on a frontier in Ireland, and it seemed natural for them to push on to a new frontier, where land was both plentiful and cheap, introducing a new urgency and dynamism into a rather complacent colonial society. Before long these ‘backwoodsmen’, distrustful of all authority and government, had established a hold on the western wilderness, fighting Indians and wolves in much the same way that they had once fought wolves and woodkern. In Pennsylvania the Scots-Irish established an almost complete domination of the outer reaches of the old Quaker colony. It was a dangerous life, but one which has established a lasting image in American history and folklore: ‘He was a farmer so far as was needful and practicable out of the reach of all markets, though as often as not his corn was planted and his grass mown, with the long-barrelled short-stocked ponderous small-bore rifle upon which his life so often hung, placed ready and loaded against a handy stump. What sheep he could protect from the bears and the wolves, together with a patch of flax, provided his family with covering and clothing. Swarthy as an Indian and almost as sinewy, with hair falling to his shoulders from beneath a coon-skin cap, a buck-skin hunting shirt tied at his waist, his nether man was encased in an Indian breach-clout, and his feet clad in deer-skin and moccasins.’ With the outbreak of the Revolution in 1775 the Scots-Irish, in interesting contrast to many of their Scottish cousins, were among the most determined adherents of the rebel cause. Their frontier skills were particularly useful in destroying Burgoyne’s army in the Saratoga campaign; and George Washington was even moved to say that if the cause was lost everywhere else he would take a last stand among the Scots-Irish of his native Virginia. Serving in the British Army, Captain Johann Henricks, one of the much despised ‘Hessians’, wrote in frustration ‘Call it not an American rebellion, it is nothing more than an Irish-Scotch Presbyterian Rebellion.’ It was their toughness, virility and sense of divine mission that was to help give shape to a new nation, supplying it with such diverse heroes as Davy Crocket and Andrew Jackson. They were indeed God’s frontiersmen, the real historical embodiment of the lost tribe of Israel. -------------- History of Highland County Pages 391 THE SETTLERS OF 150 YEARS AGO. It is, of course, impossible to present an accurate list of the householders who were here in 1761, after 15 yeass of settlement. A few f the names we found are probably those of non-residents. On the other hand there were people here who did not own land, and of such there is only casual mention Iin the record books.

ALEXANDER BLACK was born aboard ship when his parents came to America. His grandson, Major George Black, gave an interview to John D. Shane, which is among the Draper Papers in the library of the Wisconsin Historical Association, Madison, Wisconsin, describing the migration of the family from Virginia to Kentucky and stated that his grandfather was born at sea when his parents were on their way to this country but he failed to mention the names of the immigrants so we do not know the names of the first generation of this family in America. ALEXANDER BLACK first appeared in Augusta County (now Bath County) Virginia in 1746 where he purchased 250 acres of land on the Cowpasture River at the forks of the Bullpasture. In the history of Highland County, Va., by Morton, appears the following "Black, Scotch Irish appeared in the Bullpasture valley in 1746. Black was just above the mouth of the Bullpasture, where Maj. J. H. Byrd now lives (1919)." This land was granted by the King of England to a land company composed of John Robinson, James Wood, Harry Robinson and John Lewis, dated October 29, 1743, who in turn sold it to the homesteaders. As payment, the purchaser had to clear five acres of land each year for three years, for each fifty acres purchased. Alexander Black was granted a deed for his 250 acres of land at Richmond, Virginia on November 3, 1750. It appears almost certain that he came into Virginia from Pennsylvania with other Scotch Irish who settled in Virginia at that time, and that his parents died in Pennsylvania as no trace of them is found in the Augusta County records. Alexander Black qualified as Lieutenant of Foot Soldiers before the County Court in Augusta County on August 20, 1752. The writer has been unable to find any record of his service as a soldier, but suppose his company served as a local defense for the community. This country was then an unbroken wilderness and often traversed by bands of hostile savages, who watched with a jealous eye the encroachment of the white man on what they considered their domain. After Braddock's defeat by the Indians, which took place on July 9. 1755, the whole of the Virginia frontier was thrown open to savage invasions, and their marauding bands were frequently passing over the country. About this time several persons were killed, and others taken prisoner in this vicinity. Alexander Black died in the year 1764. Name of his wife is unknown. I do not know where he was buried but probably at the Blue Spring Presbyterian Church near the village of Williamsville in Bath County. His farm of 250 acres on the Cowpasture River was divided between his two sons. He and his unknown wife were the parents of six known children. 2 William (indicates that Alexander's father was named William, after Scottish tradition) 3 Alexander 4 Rachel 5 Mary 6 Nancy 7 Elizabeth (Peggy) End Heavy migration of Scotch-Irish, Welsh, and Germans from Pennsylvania into Virginia began about 1730. Augusta County became the haven for Scotch-Irish Presbyterians. While Augusta County was officially formed from Orange County in 1738, it wasn't until 1745 that the first court was held. http://www.rootsweb.com/~vaaugust/augusta2.html Brenda's Message to the Message Boards after receiving the book 2/02 Book "William Black and his Descendants" PA, VA, KY, IN I found and received the book from Interlibrary Loan Program, Madison, WI, the book is also in IN and OH. (See below). Generally, the time period is up to about 1948. "William Black and his Descendants; a Genealogy of the Descendants of William Black of Augusta County, Virginia and later of Clark County, Kentucky," Howard Clifton Black, 1973. Held by the Allen County Public Library, Indiana and the Public Library of Cincinnati, Ohio. From what I understand, this book is the best resource for this line of William Black and Sarah Hicklin (VA to KY). The information in the book was collected by Howard Clifton Black (1894-1964, West Liberty, Champaign Co., OH) who lived, unmarried in his great-grandfather's farmhouse built in 1818. Howard Black's parents were James Washington Black and Lizzie Robbins. They lived in this farmhouse when married and died there. The actual author of the book is Raymond Finley Hughes (b. 1890) who was married to Howard's sister, Geneva Belle Black (b. 1891). The book was copyrighted in 1973 but not published. Hughes' children were born1913-1918. Getting permission to reprint or copy might be quite difficult because it was not published. Raymond's address in 1973 was Cincinnati, OH. Follows is a bit of a synopsis of the book; "Revolutionary Service of William Black proved on the DAR lineage of Mrs. Robert E. Morrison (Maxine Geneva Hughes) National Number 301152." The first 2 pages give a description of the movement of the Scotch-Irish Black family from Edinburgh, Scotland to Londonderry, Ireland to America.(He writes in general terms and doesn't give any sources or references.)They left for religious freedom and had been through several hundred years of turmoil. "They landed on the Delaware River above where Wilmington now stands, between the years 1710 and 1720. Many of them remained here while others settled on the Brandywine River in Pennsylvania." The Scotch-Irish families are described as farmers by trade and Presbyterian. They were drawn to PA for the rich land and religious freedoms. Further described as firm, tenacious, resolute and ready to fight because of their hard times in Scotland and Ireland. Again, the writer gives no other information about the Black's beginnings in Edinburgh or Londonderry. The Immigrant, Alexander Black, was born aboard the ship that sailed to America according to an interview with Major George Black (included in the book). He is next heard from when he buys property on the Cowpasture River, VA in 1746. "It appears almost certain that he came into VA from PA with other Scotch-Irish who settled in VA at that time, and that his parents died in PA as no trace of them is found in the Augusta County Records." His wife was unknown, he qualified as a Foot Soldier in 1752and he died in 1764. His children were; William, Alexander, Rachel, Mary, Nancy and Elizabeth (Peggy). The majority of the book gives the descendency of the Immigrant's children. (Am using the author's spelling, including typos.) 1) William (abt. 1734 VA - Feb 14, 1811 KY) m. Sarah Hickling.

Unfor-tunately, the names of his parents are not mentioned. The tradition is that the ancestors of the Black family originated in Scotland but left there early in the 16th century after long years of religious unrest. They went to Ireland where they settled near Londonderry where, two hundred years later they again found themselves embroiled in religious controversy when King James II sought to establish Roman Catholicism throughout his realm. The Blacks were probably among the many who left Ireland shortly after the siege of Londonderry. Alexander Black's parents probably came to Pennsylvania and may well have died there. He was almost certainly among those who migrated several years later down the "Valley of Virginia", where he first appears in 1746 when he purchased 250 acres on the Cowpasture River in that part of Augusta County that later became Bath County. Alexander Black's land was just above the mouth of the Bullpasture River. Payment consisted of the obligation to clear five acres of land each year for three years for each fifty acres purchased. On 16 August 1752 Alexander, along with John McCreary and Wallace E still appraised the estate of Ann Wright. Four days later, on 20 August, Alexander Black appeared before the court where he qualified as Lieutenant of a company of Foot Soldiers. The date of his death is not known but it must have been late in 1764 since his son, William Black made bond as administrator of Alexander's estate on November 20th of that year.

100	Obituary Andrew Black Obituary 1 July 1807 – 10 Oct 1885 Greencastle, Putnam County, Indiana SUDDEN DEATH OF ANDREW BLACK, SR. The city was startled Friday evening to hear that Andrew Black, Sr., so well known by everybody, had just suffered a stroke of apoplexy. He had spent the afternoon at the furniture store of his sons, Andrew and Edwin, and about five o’clock started home. At the American Express office he stopped and conceded to get weighed. It was found that his weight was 180 pounds, as much as he had weighed at any time for years. He then walked on homeward in company with G.H. Williamson, being unusually vivacious. Passing Mr. Burk’s he spoke of the improvements going on in the town, and then, soon reaching his gate. Mr. Williamson left him, and he entered his yard. He ascended the steps of his residence, and just as he reached the doorway felt that something was wrong. Passing through to the back porch he asked the hired girl for his daughter Jennie. She heard him and came at once.. He said that his throat was hurting him and asked for the medicine he was in the habit of using as a gargle, he having suffered from this trouble for a year or two. On attempting to take the bottle from her hand he found that he could not do so. He made a second effort, with the same result. The third, he took it, but it dropped from his hand to the floor. She then got the camphor bottle and he asked her to rub his throat with its contents, which she proceeded to do. In a moment his head fell back, and she then discovered that he was speechless. He tried to talk, but it was in vain. His daughter, greatly alarmed, sent messengers after Mrs. Fenwick and the other children living in town, and also Dr. Smythe, who all quickly arrived, and he was then placed upon his bed. He continued restless during the night, being unable to sleep, but at no time lost consciousness. His speech returning, he was able to answer such questions as were addressed to him, but manifested no interest in anything. The paralysis extended only to his left side, which for a time, at least, was completely disabled. The next morning he obtained a short nap, and after that was more quiet. His family remained by his side constantly, ministering to his comfort in every possible way. At 11:30 o’clock his son Andrew took him in his arms to turn him in the bed, when, looking in his face, he saw that he was dying, and at 1:35 his spirit passed away without a struggle, his age being 75 years, 3 months and 9 days. At first it was arranged to have the funeral from Mr. Black’s home, the family much preferring this, but they were induced to change it to the Presbyterian church, in deference to the desire of the public to attend, and it accordingly took place there Sunday afternoon at 2 o’clock, Dr. E.W. Fisk preaching the sermon, and being assisted in the services of Dr. G.W. Bainum. Only a part of those who came were able to gain admittance, owing to the number, and it was evident on every hand to the casual observer that an honored citizen had passed away. Mr. Black’s vacant seat and the window near it were draped in mourning – a sympathetic testimonial by the ladies of the church. It was the first time the seat had been vacant since Mr. Black removed to town, three years ago last June, and it had not often been so previous to that time, for he was always punctual in his attendance at divine worship, even while living in the country. The interment took place late in the afternoon in Forest Hill, 112 vehicles following the remains to the grave and 200 persons going out afoot. It was much the largest funeral that has ever occurred here. Mr. Black was known far and wide, and none knew but to respect him, as was manifest in this last sad ride. Mr. Black was born near Mt. Sterling, Kentucky, being the youngest of seven children, all of them preceded him in death, so that he was the last survivor of his father’s family. His father, Major George Black, was a soldier of the war of 1812, and died at the advanced age of 91 years. An uncle, Captain Aleck Black, removed from Kentucky to Ohio at an early day and was noted as n Indian fighter. Two of his brothers, Alexander and Miller, and a sister, Mrs. William M. Young, were for many years citizens of this county, previous to their deaths, and well-known to most of our readers. Of the other branches of the family, only one cousin, Asa Black, of Terre Haute, is living. Mr. Black’s ancestors were of Scotch descent, and on his wife’s side there was a mixture of Scotch and German blood, making a sturdy race. He was married to Miss Margaret Lockridge, a sister of A.M. Lockridge, now citizens of this county. October 18, 1838. They continued to reside in Kentucky until the fall of 1851, when they removed to this county, settling on the farm one mile west of Greencastle, beyond Walnut Creek, which he bought from the late John Anderson, and where Mr. Black continued to reside until his removal to the city, the farm now being owned by his sons, George W. and Robert M. His wife died there July 5, 1863, and as soon thereafter as his daughter Jennie reached sufficient age she became his housekeeper, and continued such during the remainder of his life. Shortly after Mrs. Black’s death he joined the Presbyterian church, and was ever afterward recognized as one of its most substantial members – not in the sense of what is popularly known as a “worker,” but as one who could always be relied on to do his duty, and whose purse was ever open to the church or to charity. All of Mr. Black’s brothers were Democrats, but although evincing great affection for them he acted separately in politics. From his earliest days he looked upon slavery as a great wrong, which should be abolished. First, he was a Whig, but upon the organization of the Republican party he allied himself with it, and has since been a staunch supporter of its principles, as have his sons, also. During the Rebellion there was no more ardent Union man than he. He was always for the Union soldier. No one who wore the uniform of his country ever appealed to him in vain. His house was regarded as headquarters for the soldiers, and when they reached there it seemed like getting home. His devotion to his children was something beautiful to see. After his wife’s death his common remark was – “I am living now only for my family.” He had no favorites among them, but was always impartial and kind. Another admirable trait of character was his kindness to his employees. Patiently he bore with their short-comings and was ever considerate of their welfare. Equally praiseworthy was his conduct as a citizen, so much so that if all men had been like Andrew Black, laws and courts would have been unnecessary. Like all men of force he was firm in his ways, and of positive character. With him a thing was either right or wrong. He carefully considered all the facts, chose his position, and was then immovable. Manipulators, who unfortunately had so many men subject to their control, could not influence his judgment – he decided for himself. His deportment toward men, and his judgment of them did not depend upon their prominence or wealth, but of their conduct. The poorest and humblest received from him the same kindly consideration as the highest and the wealthiest, if worthy. There were born to himself and wife thirteen children, eleven of whom are living. The eldest, Ardena, married William Whitsett in Kentucky, and came here in 1850. Eight years subsequently they removed to Pleasant Hill, Mo., where she died in 1878, leaving a family. The other deceased child was Mrs. Jennie Smythe, wife of Dr. G.C. Smythe, who died in 1873. The living children are all residents of Greencastle or its immediate vicinity. Mr. Black had wisely distributed the most of his property among his children before his death, rendering a will unnecessary, and he therefore left none. END	Andrew Black
