b. 17/1/1774

Peter married Janet Carmichael (born Abbey, Madderty 18/5/1788), daughter of James Carmichael and Helen Clark, on May 7th 1809, in Madderty parish (GROS: OPR M 378/20 515 Madderty).

May 7 (1809)

 

Peter McUan & Janet Carmichael, both of this parish, were proclaimed at church door & gave [i.e. to the poor]

 

The couple are known to have had at least four children. From the death certificate of their son James in 1883, it is known that Peter was a cartwright. In a book entitled Perthshire in Bygone Days - One Hundred Biographical Essays by Peter R. Drummond, Chapter 30 concerns itself with a gentleman called John Scott, of the Mill of Gask. Prior to moving to Gask, Scott worked at Dubheads Farm, and had dealings with Peter McEwan, with some anecdotes on the pair making its way into Drummond's book:

While at Dubheads, Mr. Scott's oracle was Peter McOwan, the district cartwright. No wooden plough passed from Peter's hands without being subjected to the critical eye of Mr. Scott. "Too much beam, laddie", meaning the beam was too much to the land. "Keep her left line straight". When Peter Barclay produced the first iron plough made in Strathearn, these two were at their wits' ends, but kept very reticent, in case of committing themselves; and when Wilkie of Uddingston's plough became famous, and Meikle had set up his new thrashing machine at Alloa, McOwan was despatched as a deputation to examine and report, and when he returned, the pair met in solemn conclave. The diplomatist began to make a speech, but was interrupted: "Where are your drawings, laddie?" "Drawings! I have no drawings Mr. Scott." "No drawings! Then how are we to get on?" "No fear of that," said the deputy, striking his forehead with the palm of his hand, "It's all here!" "Well, perhaps it is all there, " said Mr. Scott ; but giving an incredulous look at the smitten brow, he added slowly, "I have some fear that it will remain there". (p.194-195)

 

 

Many years after he had left Madderty, Mr. Scott was riding one Hansel Monday morning past Dubheads, on his way to Kintocher, while a shooting raffle was was going on. "What is this," enquired he. "It's Peter McOwan's shooting," was the answer. "Oh, I must give Peter a shot;" and dismounting, he made his way to the crowd. "What's to pay? What's to pay?" "A shilling for three shots," he was answered. A target or door, as it was called, with a centre nail, was set up in a field, away from danger, and forty yards from it a cart, without the back and front boards, was placed, bearing direct on the target. A piece of turf was placed on the back bar of the cart, andthe shooters went in between the shafts. "Mill o' Gask" was supplied with a loaded gun, and laying himself down on the cart, he fixed the gun at a point near the muzzle over the piece of turf, and settling himself as if he were going a long journey. Two minutes elapsed. "Fire away, Mill o' Gask." "Give me time, bairns; give me time." Another two minutes.- "Fire away, Mill o' Gask." "Give me time; this is no field o' battle." Another two minutes. "Fire away, Mr. Scott; the people are impatient and angry." "Give me time; give me time; give me time." Another minute, and down came the flint. The crowd watching the target collapsed, and a shout got up, "The nail's out! Hurra! the nail's out." The judge came running to the cart, crying excitedly, "Mr. Scott, you have gained the prize; the nail's out." Mr. Scott did not move a feature, but handing the gun to its owner, said with the greatest coolness, "I thought so!" He began to move off, but the clerk cried, "You want another two shots." "Oh no, I'll give them to Peter." "But your prize, this arm-chair. "Oh, give it to Peter." The sly wisdowm of this was great, for he felt that if he tried another shot, the ball would in all likelihood not light in the park where the target was placed." (p.196-197)

(John Scott died in 1857).

Janet was born in 1810 (GROS: OPR B 378/10 216 Madderty):

February 18th (1810)

 

Peter McEwan and Janet Carmichael in Hardfold had a child baptized named Janet

David Oswald session clerk.

 

Janet married Auchterarder road surfer man William Morrison (born 6/10/1805), eldest son of Douglas Morrison and Grizel McDougall, on December 22nd 1833, in Madderty, Perthshire, Scotland. The couple had ten children, all born in the Craig area of Madderty.

 

Janet eventually died in 1856, whilst William survived until June 8th 1864, living in St. David's, Auchterarder. 

*** I have discovered many descendants of Janet and William in the last few years and have made a great deal of use from the research that they have already done, in addition to my own. Gregg Morrison was the first descendant of Janet McEwan discovered since this project began in 2000, and his help has been invaluable in charting our own history. Gregg's websites can be viewed at the following links: Gregg Morrison's Family Tree and Morrisons in Australia, USA, Canada & Scotland.

Also, a big thanks to whoever entered their genealogical info to the Carmichael Family History Project, which lists further info on Janet's and Willam's descendants. This can be found at: Carmichael Family Tree 221.

And finally another site listing info can be found at The Gregg Family History Project: Morrison.

 

CHILDREN of JANET McEWAN and WILLIAM MORRISON:

i) James Morrison

b: 12/10/1834  d: 1888

 

The following is taken from Greg Morrison's research on James Morrison.

 

In the 1851 census, James was reported as living with the McEwan family in Hardfold, Madderty, Perthshire. But at some stage in the next six years he moved south from Perthshire, to Glasgow.

 

James was married twice, his first marriage being with 20 year old Agnes McCulloch on December 31st 1857. Agnes was the 23 year old daughter of joiner John McCulloch and Mary McMillan and at the time of the wedding was living at 39 Crown Street, Hutchesonstown, Glasgow, as was James, who at that point was a journeyman joiner himself. The wedding was performed at 2 Apsley Place, Glasgow, in a ceremony according to the Free Church of Scotland, the minister being the Reverend Dugald MacColl, and the witnesses being Robert Livingstone and Douglas McCulloch (GROS:1857/644/9/12).

 

The couple had three children, and at some point prior to July 1863 seem to have moved to Greenock in Renfrewshire.

 

James migrated to the USA in approximately 1864. Gregg Morrison's website suggest that he may have travelled there with his uncle Peter McEwan, and his aunt, Helen Carmichael. Peter is known to have been in Dehi, Delaware in 1880, but the census records for Dehi would in fact seem to show him there as far back as 1850, and so it may be that James in fact travelled to stay with his uncle, rather than travel over with him in 1864.

 

James arrived in Chicago and established a highly successful meat distribution business there, becoming quite wealthy in the process, and soon diversified into estate agency. At some stage in 1868 he married an Irish lady, who became Mrs Anna Jane Morrison - her maiden name is not known.

 

In the 1870 Census for Cook County Chicago, Illinois (6th Ward, p.416, dwelling 1336) James Morrison was listed as a carpenter, with real estate value of $1200, and his personal estate at $200. Also listed were his wife Anna, aged 25, and his son Willie, aged 2, who was born in the state.

The couple had three other kids, all born in Illinois, but in 1880, Anna died, leaving James with their upkeep. In 1888, James eventually died himself, whilst on a business trip to San Francisco in 1888.

(d) William Wallace Morrison

b: 29/7/1868  d: 12/7/1941

 

William was born in Chicago, Cook County, Illinois, USA on July 29th 1868.

 

In approximately 1899, William married Blanche H. Hartman (born 14/2/1874, Illinois, died 12/2/1963). He is then to be found recorded at Main Street in the 1910 census for Edgerton, Rock County, Wisconsin (E.D. 106, sheet 7, lines 3-6). The census entry lists him as a 40 year old Scottish doctor (although the 1870 census listed him as 2 years old!), and living in his rented property with wife Blanche, and daughters Ethel and Grace. William's parents were incorrectly stated to both be Scottish.

In the 1920 census, William was living at 301 Albion Street, Edgerton City, Rock County, Wisconsin (E.D. 102, sheet 1, lines 82-85; dwelling 21, family 22). His profession was listed as Doctor - Medicine and Surgery, and also in the housewere his wife Blanche, his 13 year old daughter Grace, and his 8 year old son William.

There is also listed at the same address (line 86) but in a seperate dwelling, an unreadable entry, which seems to state another Morrison family member: a single white female, with the age difficult to decipher, possibly 70, 75 or 15. Whoever she was, and however she may have been related, she was born in Wisconsin, of parents from Vermont.

 

William died on July 12th 1941 at Edgerton, Rock County, Wisconsin, USA.

ii) Janet Morrison  

b: 14/8/1837

 

Janet Morrison was present in Madderty, Perthshire, at the age of 14 when her mother died. Jessie Mae Brislen (see below) remembers her mother Mary Ann, who was 6 weeks old at the time, repeating what had been told to her about the moment of death. When Janet (the mother) knew she was going, she called to her daughter Janet and told her to take responsibility for her wee sister Mary Ann - "Take her Janet, she is yours now".

 

On June 6th 1859, Janet married William Halley, a stone mason from Gavelmore Street in Crieff, Perthshire, and son of John Halley and Ann Carmichael. The wedding took place in St. David's, Madderty, and shortly after, the couple took Mary Ann to live with them for a few years. Janet and William had six children, most of whom may have migrated to Australia in later years.

 

Janet died at 6.00am on August 29th 1872 at 7 Bedford Street, Edinburgh, the cause being dropsey and peretenitis of some three months. The informant to the registrar on the 29th was her husband, William (GROS:1872/685/1/934).

iii) William Morrison  

b: 13/1/1839  d: 3/8/1892

 

William was born in Craig, Madderty, Perthshire, Scotland on January 1st 1839. He belonged to St.James Lodge of Freemasons in Perthshire Scotland, and spent much of his life in public service in the Borders town of Hawick.

 

On Tuesday, January 14th 1862, William married 27 year old widow and poetess Margaret Gregg in South Leith, near Edinburgh, Scotland  (IGI:M116921). Margaret born on Cumberland Street, Edinburgh, on September 13th 1834, as the only daughter of Robert Gregg and Jane Jack, had previously been married to compositor Alexander Lundie in Leith, Scotland, on June 6th 1857. Alexander had subsequently died in 1860, leaving Margaret to raise their only son, also called Alexander, who was born on August 16th 1859. Margaret was a poet of some reknown and a short biography of her appeared in the Third Series of Modern Scottish Poets - published 1881, in which Margaret claimed to have been 'orphaned at a very young age'.

 

In the 1881 census, William and Margaret were recorded as living at Myrselaw House, Hawick, Roxburghshire (GROS:789/11/34). William, 42 years of age, was a printer and publisher born in Madderty, whilst Margaret, 46, employed 8 men and 9 lads. Also listed were there 21 year old stepson Alexander Lundie (from Margaret's previous marriage to Alexander Lundie), who was a newspaper reporter;their son William, a 17 year old compositor; their 15 year old compositor son Ivie; and their 17 year old Irish domestic servant Catherine Campbell.  

 

Towards the end of his life William retired and moved to Seattle, Washington, USA, where he died on August 3rd 1892, and was subsequently buried in Lakeview Cemetery in the town (Space 5, lot 704). The following obituaries were printed in his honour:

"The Hawick News" 26th August 1892

 

DEATH OF EX-BAILIE MORRISON

 

On Monday intelligence reached Hawick (in the form of a brief letter to Mrs Morrison) from Kent. Washington, United States, of the death of Ex-Bailie Morrison on 3rd August, and of his interment on the 5th, with Masonic honours. A prominent figure on the stage of local affairs has thus unexpectedly passed away. Mr Wm. Morrison had a somewhat remarkable career. He was born at Madderty, Perthshire; and was for some years a detective in the Leith Constabulary, receiving a gold watch on leaving. About 27 years ago he came to Hawick, and for 11 years filled the offices of Superintendent of Police and Procurator-Fiscal for the burgh, bringing a good deal of ability to bear upon the discharge of his professional duties. He was also Firemaster, and received a handsome gift in acknowledgment of his services in that capacity. About a year before he resigned these appointments in 1876 - he became proprietor of the Hawick Advertiser, in succession to the late Mr Jas. Haining. During the fourteen years he managed this business, he started two other newspapers, the Border Standard, published in Langholm, and the Hawick Advertiser, but both of these ceased to exist some years ago.

 

He was also for a time a coal merchant in Hawick, and secretary of a society for the abolition of the State regulation of vice. His numerous private engagements did not prevent him from taking a prominent part in public affairs. For a dozen years at least he was a member of Hawick Town Council; and many being of opinion that his experience in the police department admirably fitted him for the bench, he was during the greater part of that period a bailie. When Provost Milligan resigned in November 1890, Bailie Morrison was a candidate for the premier honour. Provost Hogg being elected by a majority of only two votes. Besides all this, he was chairman of Hawick Parochial Board, and a member of the School Board. He was a member of Hawick Bowling Club, St James' Lodge of Freemasons, and other local societies. In politics he was a Liberal, and in various social movements he also took a leading part. About a year and a half ago, as noticed at the time, he suddenly left the town, and his whereabouts was for a considerable period, a matter of curious conjecture to those who had known him.

 

Shortly before that time, he had made the advertiser a limited liability concern under the style of "W.Morrison & Co.," and the business is still carried on by this company. The deceased, who was 53 years of age, leaves a widow, who still resides in Hawick, and one son, who went abroad some years ago.

 

Bailie Morrison possessed to a remarkable extent the faculty of ingratiating himself either with an individual or with a body of people, and invariably secured a considerable following for the various projects of one kind and another in which he interested himself. While in Hawick, he took an interest in almost every movement which enlisted the sympathies of any section of the community, and really did a good deal of service to the town in the various aspects of its municipal work, being not only a Bailie, but Convener of the Lighting Committee, besides representing the Council at the Gas Company's board. He had the gift in a unique degree of giving any scheme a most plausible appearance, and thus securing for it a corresponding amount of support from the public at large, completely capturing an unreflecting audience, and at the same time demolishing all opposition that was not very pronounced. Not only was he able to make others see a subject from the point of view that he desired them to take, but he seemed to be capable of working up in himself the firm belief that any undertaking he engaged in was the only and absolutely certain means of accomplishing the desired end. Whether at an evangelistic meeting, a Masonic social, a Town Council picnic, a philanthropic gathering, or a political demonstration, he appeared to feel fully convinced that he was the right man in the right place. Indeed. he seemed to have laid very deeply to heart the apostolic motto to be "all things to all men". It was almost impossible for any one to ruffle his outward composure. He met all opponents in public with the blandest of smiles, and evinced quite a fatherly solicitude for the welfare of his constituents. No one ever consulted him on any subject without taking away with him the impression that he was the man to rectify his grievance or help him towards the attainment of his object. Acting continually in the belief that it was possible to achieve success in business within a short time, not so much by hard work as by a clever combination of circumstances, he always strove to utilise the "tide in the affairs of men which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune," and in the pursuit of this aim gave evidence of an astonishing fertility of resource. Such was Bailie Morrison as he was known to the public of Hawick during the quarter-of-a-century in which he lived amongst them.

Further intelligence from America, contained in a letter from a brother of the deceased to another brother in Greenock, states that on the 3rd of August, Mr Morrison fell off a log, injuring himself so severely that he was unable to reach the house. One of his neighbours heard him calling for help, and found him lying at the side of the log. They carried him to the house, and he died in the evening at nine o'clock. He was interred by the Freemasons of Seattle on the 5th.

iv) Peter Morrison

b: 23/8/1840

 

Peter was born on August 13th 1840 in Craig, Madderty, Perthhsire, Scotland, and baptised there on the 23rd.

In 1862, Peter was a witness to his brother William's Marriage in South Leith, Scotland.

Peter emigrated to the USA, initially it is believed to Chicago. He took up work as a private detective and in 1870, in his late 20s, he was shot and killed in an ambush by a criminal he was pursuing in West Kansas.

 

v) John Morrison 

b: 3/8/1843

 

John was born on July 20th 1843 in Craig, Madderty, Perthshire, Scotland.

John became a school teacher and eventually the headmaster of Greenock High School in Scotland. For five years after that he taught at Gobroch, before migrating to the USA in 1915 with his sister Hellen. Upon their arrival they lived for a time with their brother Andrew in Seattle, Washington, with Hellen acting as their housekeeper. John tried to set up various businesses, but was not very succesful.

In the aftermath of their home being burgled and ransacked, John and Hellen decided to move into Kenney Presbyterian Nursing Home, Seattle. It was here that John died, in about 1925. He never married.

 

 

 

vi) Grace Morison   

b: 23/12/1845  d: 1879

 

Grace was born on December 23rd 1845 in Craig, Madderty, Perthshire, Scotland. She emigrated to the USA, settling in Rockford, Illinois, and married a wealthy farmer called Charles Pickens, who was quite a bit older than her, and with whom she raised a family of three children.

 

At some stage before in the 1870s, Grace suffered a fall that caused her to suffer several broken ribs and punctured her lungs. The injury caused her to develop a serious lung ailment, so serious that her sister, Mary Ann, returned to Illinois from Kansas to look after her, bringing her own young son with her. Mary Ann looked after Grace for several months, but in 1879 Grace was to finally die from the injury.

vii) Margaret Morison (twin)  

b: 26/8/1847

 

Margaret, better known as "Maggie", was born in St. David's, Madderty, Perthshire, Scotland.

 

At the age of 20, Maggie and her twin brother Andrew emigrated to the United States of America, arriving initially in Illinois. Whilst Andrew moved out west to Decatur County in Kansas to take up some land, Maggie stayed to help her sister Grace for a while, before ultimately joining Andrew in Kansas.

 

Maggie married Ben Butler and had four children, two of whom died in infancy. She lived the rest of her life in Beloit County, Kansas.

viii) Andrew Morison (twin)

b: 26/8/1847

 

Andrew was born on August 26th 1847 in St. David's, Madderty, Perthshire, Scotland.

 

Andrew and his twin sister Maggie migrated to the USA in the mid 1860's, staying initially with their sister Grace in Rockford, Illinois. Andrew moved to Kansas and purchased property there, before selling up and moving on to King County, Washington, where he operated a timber property at Puget Sound, which he may have obtained from the Estate of his brother William, who was killed there in 1894. Andrew attended William's funeral and made all the arrangements about the disposal of hisproperty.

 

It is not know if Andrew ever married or had kids. It is known that he owned some land in Seattle,and that he died there on March 8th 1921. He had wanted his sister Maggie to have his estate, but for some reason she never received it.

 

 

 

ix) Hellen Morison   

b: 17/6/1849  d: 0/1931

 

Hellen was born on June 17th 1849 in St. David's, Madderty, Perthshire, Scotland, and for several years battled with ill health as a child, and remained quite frail throughout her life. 

 

Hellen acted as housekeeper for her brother John whilst he worked as a teacher in Greenock, and later on when he worked in Gobroch, Scotland.

 

Hellen migrated to the USA with John in about 1915. She never married, and it is believed that she was a resident of the Kenny Presbyterian Home in Seattle, Washington, until her death there in September, 1931. 

 

Hellen's niece Jenny Mae Brislen recalls (on Gregg Morrison's website) "We have all had a kindly feeling toward this Auntie, her Christmas packages helped brighten things a lot when we were young".

 

 

 

x) Mary Ann Morison 

b: 29/5/1854

 

Mary was born on September 24th 1854 in St. David's, Madderty, Perthshire, Scotland.

 

Again, from Gregg Morrison's website, Jessie Mae Brislen noted her recollections of her mother:

Her (Mary Ann) mother died when she was six weeks old, and her early life had a great many hardships. When her sister Janet married at 18, she took the four year old Mary Ann with her to a new home in Scotland, and remained there until she was nine her brother (John) decided she was being overworked and took her to a sister of their mother, (Helen McEwan), who promptly put her to work in a mill. (This auntie used to smoke a pipe secretly!).

Mary Ann then spent some time at home with her father until his death in 1864. After that, her brother John made a home for her until she was around 16, when she left to go to work. She was heard to say that she was never happier in her life than while she was second maid for a family who lived in an old castle. She had the tower room, and loved to tell about those days.

In 1873, Mary Ann sailed for America, staying initially with her sister, Grace, in Rockford, Illinois.

Three years later Mary Ann married Neil Brislen. The couple moved to Plymouth, Kansas, in 1878, to a farm four miles north of the town, where they raised a family.

Again, Jessie May's recollections:

After living in Plymouth for a little over a year, Mary Ann Morrison and Neil Brislen bought and moved to a farm north of the little town, where they lived until 1910. Kansas was practically frontier the earlier years of their life there crop failures and many other hardships took their toll through the years, leaving her something of an invalid, house bound through the winter months, away back in my memory. Although like a dream, I recall thinking she was very pretty in her old brown taffeta dress, and a little bonnet she wore this was when I was a small child.

In November of 1910, the parents of Grace (Mary Ann & Neil Brislen) moved to Pasadena, California. This is where Grace died early in 1931. She loved beautiful things and craved a good education for her family. Her life was not easy.

Mary eventually died on March 31st 1931 in Pasadena, California, USA.

2) Peter McEwan

b: 16/11/1811  d: aft. 1880

Peter McEwan

Peter was born in Hardford on November 16th 1811.

 

Peter emigrated to the United States of America at some point, possibly with his sister Helen McEwan.

 

In the 1850 census for Delhi, Delaware, New York State, Peter is listed as a 39 year old Scottish farmer, with 37 year old wife Isabel, also from Scotland. Also in the house were 3 year old Sarah G. McEwen, 6 months old Ann McEwen, and 17 year old labourer William Middlemesh, also from Scotland. The real estate value was $1000.

 

Ten years later, in 1860, the family are again found in Delhi, Delaware. In this case Peter is a 48 year old Scottish farmer, with real estate to the value of $1500, and personal estate valued at $900. Isabella McEwen, a 6 year old Scot is listed, again presumably his wife, and then the children - Sally M. McEwen aged 12, Anna aged 10, Peter Jr aged 8 and Ellen, aged 3 - again, all listed as born in New York State.

 

In approximately 1864, Peter's photo was taken at Maurice Farrington's Picture Gallery in Delhi and is reproduced on the right. (Thanks to Doug Morrison in Australia for supplying the image from his family album.) 

 

In the 1870 US Federal census for New York State, a 58 year old Peter McEwen is listed as residing in Delhi, Delaware, as a farmer with real estate worth $8000, and with US citizenship. In the same household were Sarah McEwen, as 22 year old house keeper, 20 year old Ann McEwen keeping house, 18 year old Peter McEwen at home, and 13 year old Ellen McEwen, at home. All bar Peter senior are noted as having been born in New York.  

 

In 1880, Peter McEwan Jr is the head of the household, listed as a 28 year old farmer in Delhi, with his wife Anna, aged 26 and from Scotland. Also present were his daughters Isabella M. McEwan, aged 2, and 1 year old Jessie M. McEwan. His father Peter senior was also there, aged 69 and by now a widower.

 

The 1890 census was unfortunately destroyed by fire, and cannot be consulted.

 

 

 

3) James McEwan

4)  ANDREW McEWAN
c: 15 Aug 1778 (OPR: 378/1) d: 1853 (approx)

August 15th - Peter McEwan and Janet Leetch in Westhill had a son born and the second Sabbath after baptized named Andrew

Andrew married 23 year old Fowlis based woman Ann Reid, daughter of farmer James Reid and Catherine Robertson, on 16th July 1815 in Madderty. Andrew worked as a wright, and after the wedding he raised a family with Ann in Bellyclone area of St. David's district of Madderty parish, where they remained for the rest of their lives.

In 1841, Andrew is recorded in the census at Bellyclone as a 60 year old carpenter, along with his wife Anne, 45. his brother William (P. Army, meaning "army pensioner"), and his children, James aged 20, Mary aged 10, and John aged 8 (Ancestry: 1841 Madderty ED3, p.4).

In 1851, Andrew is again recorded at Bellyclone as a 72 year old wright, along with his wife Ann aged 60 (born Trinity Gask), his brother William aged 75 (Chelsea Pensioner, late soldier, 72nd Foot), and his son John, a 21 year old wright, and daughter Mary, a 22 year old dressmaker (Ancestry 1851: Madderty, ED3, p.9,line 3).

Having spent the whole of his life working as a wright, Andrew finally died in St. David's, Madderty, in 1853, although with civil registration not coming into effect until two years after his death, details about the cause are not known. 

Andrew's widowed wife Ann continued to live in St. David's until her own death two years later, on April 17th 1855. The death entry in the register tells us that she had lived in St. David's, Madderty, for 15 years, and that she was born in Fowlis. It also lists her seven children (see below) and the cause of her death was dramatically listed as "instant death" with no medical attendant. She was buried in Madderty, presumably alongside her husband. The informant to the Madderty registrar on April 26th was her youngest son, John (GROS:1855/378/00/3).    

** A modern day descendant of Andrew McEwan and Ann Reid is Annie Comrie Crook, who can be contacted at 60 Needless Road, Perth, Scotland, PH20 LA. Annie's research can be accessed as an ancestral file on the website of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Key in a wedding date search for Andrew and Ann, and the connections between them and the modern day descendants can be viewed. Again, many thanks to Annie, whose own research has been phenomenal.
