Dear John & Marcella,
The Gowan material arrived yesterday. Interesting, and I feel sure that these
are the sisters David went to visit in 1855, but Mary's birth date is certainly
a puzzle. 1826 or 27 is a bit of a problem, since David was supposedly the
youngest, and came to the States in 1841 at age 17, but we don't have firm
evidence for either of those numbers. 1808 would mean Mary gave birth to her
youngest at age 47, not impossible, but I think unlikely at that time. And how
could people mistake a person's age by 18 years, younger or older?
I am looking for help on the Gowans in Co. Down, as I have not been able to
locate anything on my own, so if someone comes up with information about the
family, that may answer the question. It certainly isn't bothering me.
As to the Robinsons, you have given me some information about Elizabeth's
parents that is good to have. I knew nothing but their names before. And I
even have her grandparents' names, so that was a real breakthrough. I can
offer considerable information about the 2 who strayed, William and Elizabeth,
since the latter is my own family, and I have known a good many of the former's
descendents since childhood. So I am attaching something for 2 generations. I
don't know how much you would be interested in, but will be glad to give you
the whole story, as I have it so far, if you would want it.
It looks as though John and I are distantly connected by marriage.
Thanks for all your help.

ROBINSON, William (I1053)
 
220 Fred was raised at Tullaree, Ireland, about 1/8 mi. so. of village of Glasslough. In the early 1600s in northern Ireland, Fred R. McNab was a protor-later, or tax collector, for the Barony of Trough, in
County Monaghan - a very important man at that time.

The barony of Trough is made up of two civil parishes: Errigal
Trough and Donagh. Errigal Trough is the northern tip of county
Monaghan, which forms an arrowhead pointing into county
Tyrone to the north. Errigal Trough is bordered by county
Tyrone to the west, north, and east. The civil parish of Donagh
is south of the eastern part of Errigal Trough, and county
Armagh lies to the immediate east. The town of Emyvale is on
the border of the civil parishes of Errigal Trough and Donagh.
The town of Glasslough is in Donagh.

He was an accountant for a hotel in Schenectady, N.Y.

From Georgia Garnsey
Some years after Isabella died, Robert remarried a woman named Caroline whom my grandmother Rose (Rozella) loathed. Rose actually left home as soon as she was old enough (and her father had died) and I have the advertisement she took out for her "Children's Hair Cutting" business. Robert was buried next to Isabella in the Hoosick Falls cemetery and I have a photo of their graves somewhere in my files of the gravesite. The photo was obtained from a descendant of Albert Leith's.

Shown by credible witnesses, William Patterson and William Gallagher, filed Feb. 25, 1874
Under non-support from husband
John R. Mackie, MD filed Feb. 25 1874
1st Testifies that he attended professionally claimants husband from June 1870 to the date of his death, Jan. 17, 1872, during which time he was suffering from a disease of the bowels known as chronis ulceration, and also with chronic enlargement of the liver, which finally ended in cancerous disease of the liver.
The peculiar chronic nature of said diseases which rendered claimants husband an invalid, prevented said husband from working on his farm or otherwise supporting his family for a number of years.
Decedent informed me when I underwook the treatment of his case that he had experienced symptoms which indicated the existence of said diseases during the past twenty years. I think from professional knowledge of the progress of said deseases that decedednt for a number of years was incapacitated for the performance of farming work and that assistance was requisite to his supporting his family.
That from the history of the case, the chronice nature of the disease, intensely diseased condition of the affected organs, and collateral testimony of friends long acquainted with deceased, "affirms belief in" the complete physical disability of decedent at the date of soldiers death.

W.H. Lamly, Justice of the Peace, testifies that Dr,. Mackie is a Durgeon and Physcian in good standing.

!st Testify, Robert Rickaby and John Murray filed June 25, 1873
that claimants husband was unable to work and labor on his farm as it requires, and at date of the soldiers enlistment the father was always unable to work because of ill health, and was so conditioned continuously thereafter.
1st Testify, Joseph Patterson and George Currie filed June 25 1873
that Claimants husband was unable to do but very little labor for "the last fifteen years and was under the doctors care the most of said time".

Mothers Brief states in the year 1864, shows that the S.E. half of Lot No. 22, 10th Range is valued in John Leith's name at $540. John Montgomery, testifies, that the property of claimants husbadn in 1864 was worth about $500. currency. Robert Rickaby and John Murray testify that claimants property is worth about $500 or $600, stock and all. Joseph Patterson and George Currie testify that they had property worth about $850. Claimant now has no property. It was spent during the sickness of her husband
