EDITOR'S NOTE. EDITOR'S NOTE. The material for this book has been gathered almost en- tirely by Oscar Dinwiddie of Plum Grove, postofrke Orchard Grove, who acquired a love for such research many years ago, and who has been carrying on a corres- pondence for twenty-five or more years that has become quite extensive, reaching into Scotland, England, Ireland, and into various states of this Union. As the "Dinwiddie Clan" of Lake and Porter, offered to me at their seventh anniversary, at Hebron, Sept. 7, 1901, the work of publishing their records, this gathered mate- rial was placed in my hands, to be arranged and worked up according to my judgment, so as to make it, of its kind, not only an acceptable but, if possible, a model book. How well I have succeeded the readers must judge. My re- strictions were: not to put in much biography, and only such likenesses as were paid for by the individual families specially interested. This latter limitation prevented any partiality being shown on my part. The family lines, as fully as practicable, were to be brought down to Dec. 3T, 1000. DIXWIDDIL CLAN'. There have conn- into my hands for examination a "Bio- graphical Sketch of the Rev. John Cuthbertson, the first Reformed Presbyterian Minister in America," and a Gene alogy of the "Dunwoody and Hood Families," by Gilbert Cope, Westchester, Pennsylvania, Minneapolis. iSgcj. This book, (which for convenience of reference I will call the "Dunwoody book," and this on which I am now working, the"Dinwiddie book,") I have studied carefulh to learn the plan on which it was arranged and to fin; information. This Dunwoody hook, says the title page, is "Based upon Original Researches." I have sought to learn by whom they were made and tor whom made. It appears that Charles Rogers of London in Decem- ber 1877 wrote a letter of information in regard to th< "Dunwoodie or Dinwoodie family" to W. C. Hepburn ol Mark Lane. London. England; also that Walter McLeod of Edinburgh or Edinboro, Scotland, made' considerable research in Dumfries and Glasgow in December 1- which seems to have been done at the request ot William 11. Dunwoody of Minneapolis. Minnesota, and tor his use. Also. Dow M. Corquadale of Glasgow, in May "( 1894 wrote to James Wilson a letter containing the results ot much research, but concerning Dinwiddies, not Dunwood- ies, especially Robert. Laurence or Lawrence, and others. This Laurence Dinwiddie, called the youngest merchant in Glasgow, seems also to be called Lawrence Dinwoodie. EDITOR'S NOTE. 5. By whom other researches were made does not appear; hut the evidence suggests that all were made for W. H. Dunwoody of Minneapolis. The following letter from him will be of interest in this connection. Minneapolis, Minx.. Nov. 5, 1898. Mr. (). Dinwiddie. Orchard Grove. Ind. Dear Sir: Your postal of 25th ult. received, and I enclose herewith copies of such information as I thought might be interest- ing to you and your family. In my several visits to England and Scotland, I have tried to get some information about the early history of the family, but I could not find anything showing connec- tion between oar family and any of those now living there, or the dates on which any of the family emigrated to this country. My great-great-grandfather, David Dunwoody, appeared among the taxables of Goshen, Chester County, in 1740. This is the farthest back that I have been able to trace the family, and there is nothing to show where he came from or whether he had any relatives in this country. As the spelling of the name was the same at that date that we use at present, I assume that your family has no con- nection with ours since that time. I hope you may find this information of use to you. I will send you a copy of our family history as soon as it is printed, and I will be glad to have one of yours. Yours truly. WM. H. DUNWOODY. 6. DINWIDDIE CLAN. By whom the researches for Dunwoody history in this country were mack- does not appear, except by the author. The history, proper, begins with David Dunwoody (i) ol Chester county, Pennsylvania, who is found in Goshen township in 1747. but whose place of nativity was not as- certained. That he was an immigrant of Scottish ancestry is considered beyond question. From him fifty-four de- scendants are traced with more or less fulness, as numbered, and the names are given of many others. Wills and deed-, with much other information, are interspersed. My best and first class authorities in using the material placed in my hands are three: 1. The old family Bible belonging to Thomas Dinwid- die, a grandson of David Dinwiddieol Marsh Creek, which Bible is now in the possession of Mr. Seth Pearce ol Eagle Creek, a grandson of Thomas Dinwiddie. 2. The Will of David Dinwiddie of Marsh Creek. 3. The Cuthbertson Sketch. All these have been in my hands tor examination. T. 11. BALI. INTRODUCTION. 7. INTRODUCTION. It is a well recognized tact that a man has no choice as to his ancestry. It is also recognized as desirable for any one to have back of himself a good ancestral line. There are many now in the United States who find in- terest and instruction in tracing back, so far as is possible, their lines of ancestry, and this department of literary work is rapidly growing. The ancestral problem is a strange one. Its results are astounding. As every child now in the world has had a father and a mother and so two grandfathers and two grand- mothers, and, where there has been no intermarriage, four great grandfathers and four great grandmothers, it follows according to the well known law of progression that a child of to-day had living, ten generations ago, if no intermar- riages between families took place, a thousand and twenty- four ancestors; and one million of ancestors twenty gener- ations ago. It would then follow that fifteen hundred children, selected, one hundred each, from fifteen most widely separated nations, one only from a family, must have had living twenty generations ago, fifteen hundred millions, (1,500,000,000) of ancestors, and this is the pres- ent estimated population of the entire globe. The result, then, of this problem is preposterously absurd. It is evi- dent that thousands now living must have had, not many generations ago, the same ancestors. The royal families of Europe, it is well known, have intermarried very fully; and families not royal have evidently done the same. INTRODUCTION. The very absurdity of the result ol the ancestral problem leads to the fact ol the interlacing oi the human race; and it we start with the Bible teaching that all now living are descendants of the three sons of Noah, it is abundantly evident that the first generation, born alter these three noted men, married cousins, the second must have married second cousins, and so the lines ol relationship could sep- arate more and more as the number ol human beings in- creased. Beginning therefore at either cm\ of the line, then, we come to the Scripture teaching, all nations are OF ONE BLOOD. In now tracing up family lines it is abundantly evident that no individual can follow back to any great distance many lines ol ancestry. It is therefore customary and desirable now to trace up mainly one family name. The researches in this work are connected with the name DlNWIDDIE. ORGANIZATION. 1. ORGANIZATION OFTHK DINWIDDIE CLAN. Through suggestions and imitations from several mem- bers of the Dinwiddie, Sweney, McAlpin, and other con- nected families of the Didwiddie line, a large family re- union was held in the grove at Hebron, Porter county, Indiana, Saturday, September I, 1894. The following is a paragraph from the published records of this meeting: "The members of the large Dinwiddie family, those bearing the name and those now bearing other names, trace back their descent through a known and certain line, for three hundred years, to David Dinwiddie of Scotland, who was born about the year 1600. Through him they trace an uncertain line back, perhaps through Thomas Dinwiddie, the chief of his clan, slain in the Dinwiddie tower in 1503, or perhaps through the Laird of Dinwiddie, assassinated in Edinburg in 15 12, or through some other line, to Allen Dinwithie, mentioned in 1296, the recognized progenitor of the ancient Dinwithie family of Scottish his- tory. The little children, therefore, of this generation can claim membership in a family six hundred years old, al- though they can trace their descent for only ten genera- tions through the last three hundred years, leaving ten generations, back of these known ten, not yet traced from father to son or daughter." About one hundred and twenty were present. An en- rollment of members was commenced, and it was voted to io. DIXWIDDIK CLAN. meet again on the first Saturday in September, 1895. A-t this second meeting the name "Dinwiddie Clan," as sug- gested by Mr. W. E. Sweney, was adopted, and the organ- ization was perfected. The following is a paragraph from the record of this second meeting: "As it was too cool for comfort in the grove in the fore- noon, the different families as they arrived gathered in Union Hall, where the long tables were set and were soon loaded for the banquet. One of these was set apart for the children, of whom there were at the table 52, and at the other tables were seated at the dinner hour, 117, mak- ing number of all the guests 169. About 20 of these were invited visitors; as it was found after dinner, when the ar- tist arranged the real family group before his camera, that this group numbered 150. Of the members of this group. more than one-third, 54, being children, it was interesting, to one acquainted with many of them, to observe, in these members of the tenth and eleventh generations, how much of the old Scottish blood and Scottish faith remained, not- withstanding the intermarriage with English and Ameri- cans. ( )| course, after so many or s<> \ { -w generations, all .ire now distinctly Americans." A record ol the third re-union : "The members of the "Dinwiddie Clan" met for their third annual re-union on Saturday, September 5th, 1S96, in the grove of E. W. Dinwiddie, just west of the residence ..I 1. Bryant. ORGANIZATION. u. The morning was cloudy with some indications of rain, but the bright warming sunshine came at length, and rep- resentatives of three generations, one hundred and fifty in number, gathered in good time for the large family din- ner. A table had been erected ninety-six feet long and of appropriate table width, which was well supplied with the needful utensils for conveniently partaking of the food. Of the abundance and variety of that food nothing need be said, as Plum Grove is in the heart of one of the great food producing regions of the land. And this year there was no need to send to Michigan for our peaches; and both peaches and grapes, of home growth, were abundant. There were present besides the Lake and Porter county members of the 'Clan,' Mrs. Eudora Dinwiddie, wife of John Dinwiddie, of Laporte county, and their daughter Miss Ella; Mr. and Mrs. Cowley and their son, of Harvey, 111; Dr. Turner and wife, of Lansing, 111; David Miller, wife and daughter, of Carthage, Missouri; and Mrs. Per- kins and niece, Mrs. Pfaff, of Oneida, N. Y. Letters were received from members of the large family who are now residing in Oregon, but this year none could be present. Although the great features of the day were the social greetings and renewals of old acquaintance and the form- ing of new ones, the games and sports of the children, of whom there were present as usual not a few, (cousins of various degrees,) and then the family dinner around one large table, yet, after the dinner to which ample time was given, there were musical and literary exercises for the en- 12. DINWIDDIE CLAN. joyment of all. A good platform had been constructed, well decorated with flags and red, white, and blue bunting, scats had been provided, and there the- guests assembled. The- musical instruments were two drums, a guitar, and an organ. The president, A. Murray Turner, occupied the chair and called the assembly to order, Rev, J. X. Buchan- an offered prayer. Miss Belle Dinwiddie was organist. The trained hands of Mrs. Dilley handled the guitar. Reci- tations were given by the very little children and the lar- ger children. Among tin- latter were some nicely ren- dered selections by Cora and Edith Dinwiddie-. A paper on 'Fallacies' was read by Miss Sweney, a recitation. The Lighthouse, was given by Miss Belle Dinwiddie, and a se- lected poem was read by Miss Maggie Buchanan. A short address was given by Mr. W. E. Sweney. There were solos and quartette singing, and a paper of historic - inter- esl was read by Mrs. M. T. Holm, of Crown Point. Mr. Will Vilmer was present with his camera and took views ot the table and the people." The sixth meeting of the Clan, the fifth anniversary, was held at Hebron, Sept. 2, 1S99. The following is from the- published account of that re-union: "The Clan has a much varied membership. While the majority ot the members are farmers it has a number of school teachers, a druggist, a jeweler, a dentist, a physi- cian, a coroner, a president of an electric railway company, several clergymen, and one member sells hay in lots of one hundred car loads; there are- plenty of good singers for ORGA NIZATION. 13. choir or solo, and many who play on a variety of musical instruments, as well as churns and washing machines, and that we have a great many first-class cooks is shown by the fine display of nice looking and well cooked food at each annual gathering. Some of our members served in the war during the 'late unpleasantness,' and some are now in Cuba and the Philippines; one is a war correspondent for one of the best known weeklies. All are sturdy, brave and honest American citizens ready to do their duty to their flag and country as well as they are trying to do what they think is right toward their families and friends. With Scotch descendants of the Dinwiddie and Wilson families, by marriage, many of English, German, French, and other nationalities have been brought in, but all are loyal to Uncle Sam. Through the kindness of our ex-president, A. Murray Turner, of Hammond, a very fine album was furnished the Clan and Will Vilmer, official photographer, of Crown Point, Ind., kindly donated with the album, pictures taken at each meeting heretofore. Owing to the excessive mod- esty of both the gentlemen, no formal presentation speech was made or vote of thanks returned, but the Clan appre- ciate fully the thoughtfulness of our friends." At the seventh re-union, among other items of business, letters of regret were read from Gov. Theodore Roose- velt of New York, and Rev. C. C. Smith, of Chicago. 14. DINWIDDIE CLAN. "Visiting- members from a distance and invited guests were: J. C. Emory and wife, Cedar Rapids, Iowa; Ab< Fuller, Little Rivers, Iowa; Ezra Brownell and wife, Win- terset, Iowa; Mrs. Stuppy, Iowa; Mr. Morris, South Dako- to; Mrs. W. B. Doddridge, Mentone, Ind; Mrs. E. R. Beebe, Chicago; Mr. and Mrs. and Miss McGuire, Mrs. fackman, of Illinois; Wm. Shinn and wife, Whiting, Ind; Mrs. Wm. Brown, Miss Brown, Mrs. John Fisher, Will Vilmer, wife, mother and children, of Crown Point." The Presidents thus far have been: A. Murray Turner, W. E. Sweney, and Dr. Samuel Turner. Secretary O. Din- widdie. Acting chaplains: Rev. J. N. Buchanan and Rev. T. H. Ball. DINWIDDIKS IN SCOTLAND. II. DINWIDDIES IN SCOTLAND. The name Din\yjlddie, written also Dinwoodie, Dinwiddy, Dinwitty, Dinwidy, Dunwoddy, Dunwoody, Dunwody, Dunwooddy, Dunwoodies, and in more than one hun- dred other forms, is one of the old historic, Scottish names. In what is called the "Ragman's Roll," of 1296. the name given to the parchment rolls of the instruments by which the Scottish nobility and gentry subscribed alle- giance to Edward I. of England, is found the name of Allen Dinwithie, called "the progenitor of the Dinwiddies, who were chief proprietors on lands in the Parish of Applegarth, Annandale, Dumfreshire." [See Virginia Historical Papers. Also, Dinwiddie Papers, Vol. I.J "Thomas, chief of the Clan," it is stated, "was slain in Dinwiddie tower in 1 503, by the Jardines, who also are said to have killed the Laird of Dinwoodie in the streets of Edinburgh in 1 5 12." In 1518 took place the noted battle of Dryef Sands, in which another Laird of Dinwoodie took part. A poem describing that battle says: "Dinwoodies Laird, a wondrous wight. In stature tall as mountain pine, Drove fierce and furious through the fight, While blood dark dimmed his sabre's shine." Twelve stanzas of this poem were sent in 1884 to O, Dinwiddie of Plum Grove, from Rev. David Dinwoodie of Annan Cemetery, Scotland. 16. dinwtddie: clan. He writes under the date of Dec. 12, 1884: "All my fore-fathers lived and died, and have become almost name- Less as the leaves of the forest, about the parishes of Applegirth and Lochmaben. Looking at Bacon's Popu- lar Map of Scotland last night, I could see three promi- nent places, such as Dinwoodie Castle, Dinwoodie Holm, and Dinwoodie Green. The last place got its name from the first Dinwoodie in the world." He states, but is unable to give the date or the king's name, that in early times a king of Scotland offered one hundred pounds in money to to any one who would kill a noted outlaw. A man. named John Din, killed this noted outlaw and received this reward, having carried the outlaw's head to the king on a woodie. And the king, besides the money reward, added to the man's name the word woodie, thus making him John Dinwoodie. However originating it is abundantly evident that, in some of its varied forms, it is an old, historic name. In regard to these varieties Thomas Dinwiddy, architect and surveyor, of Greenwich in England, having sent to Oscar Dinwiddie in October, 1877, a list of what he calls "various" versions" of his name, one hundred and thirty in number according to his count, as he has received them on letters and parcels and from various persons, says .it length in his letter: "Your name, however, terminates in ie, mine in y, so that I should think we were split from the original Scotch tribe long since. I think the spelling of my name must be a corruption, yours being the true way." DINWIDDIES IN SCOTLAND. 17. In a work on Border Clans by H. Dixon, examined by O. Dinwiddie in the Chicago Public Library, the fol- lowing statements were found, each containing a different form of the family name. On page 82: That among "Barons and Clans submit- ting to the English" in 1547 was Laird Dunwoddy (of that Ilk or Maxwell) with forty-four men. Locality, Anner- dale. On page 86: Date 1587: That on the "Roll of the names of the Landis Lordis * * * in the Borders and in the Hielands quhair" — qu equal to w — "men has dwelt and presently dwellis" is "Laird of Dynwyddie (of that Ilk or Maxwell)." On pages 87 and 88, that among "landit men" at An- nanderdail was Dynwoddie (of that Ilk or Jardine or Max- well)." On page 108 it is stated that in 1603 the Border Clans were broken up. From "Crests of Great Britain and Ireland." Coat of Arms. "Dinwiddie, an eagle, wings addorsed and inverted, in dexter a guinea pig." Motto. "Ubi libertas, ibi patria." Where liberty is, there is my country. The ancient Barony of Dinwiddie and the adjoining one of Sibbaldie were at lengh merged into Applegarth. The Dinwoodies or Dunwoodies or Dinwiddies, like oth- er large and ancient families, sent small families and in- 18. DINWIDDIE CLAN. dividuals from their early home in Scotland into England, Ireland, and America, and many bearing these names are in various states whose connections cannot now be traced. While, now, no Dinwiddie or Dinwoodie history in any continuous line has yet been given, and while no attempt has been made to give the connection of the family with Scottish life, which was not the design of this work, it is evident, from what has been given, that persons bearing the name in some of its strangely varied forms mainly in three leading forms must have been living in Scotland from 1296 to 1603. About this time a sure continuous line 1 if genealogy begins. Note. In the Dunwoody hook, mentioned in the edi- tor's introductory note, on pages 3 and 4. are the same statements in regard to early mention ol the name Din- widdie in Scottish annals that have just been given in these records. And "Rev. David Dinwoodie ol Annan. Scotland," is referred to as authority, quite evidently the same one who wrote- to ( ). Dinwiddie in [884. On page 7 of the Dunwoody hook is published a copy ol the In- scription on Governor Robert Dinwiddie's Monument, a copy of which sent to 0. Dinwiddie- from Greenwich, Eng- land, March 23, 1 S 7 7 , was published here, in a Dinwiddie ecord, in 1 884- The many letters in my hands establish fully the origi- nality of the researches made by 0. Dinwiddie ol Plum Grove, commencing as early as 1S76. It may be added here that between the] )unwoodys M\i\ the Dinwiddies no relationship has been established, al- though both refer back to the same Scottish ancestors, ind without much doubt .1 relationship docs exist. T. II. Ik THE NORTHERN INDIANA FAMILY. 19. III. THE NORTHERN INDIANA FAMILY. That the ancestors of the "Pioneer" Dinwiddie families of LaPorte, Porter, and Lake counties were natives of Scotland is very certain. It is also quite evident that "Dunwoodys and Dinwiddies" went from Scotland into the province of Ulster, in the north of Ireland, in that threat migration, after six counties in that province were, in 1607, confiscated by the English Crown, a migration from Scotland and also from England, which changed the history of Ulster. This new population received the name of Scotch-Irish. As these were not only Protestant but largely Presbyterian, and the Episcopal bishops wished to check the spread ol Presbyterianism, they made use for that purpose of what was called the test-oath, imposed in 1704, which required all persons in public employment "to profess English prel- acy." Extortionate rents were also required and these resulted in "what is known as the Antrim evictions." Early in the eighteenth century the Scotch-Irish began a great migration into the American colonies. Froude, the English historian, says: "In the two years which followed the Antrim evictions, thirty thousand Protestants left Ul- ster for the land where there was no legal robbery, and where those who sowed the seed could reap the harvest." It was estimated that "about twelve thousand came an- nually from Ulster to America" from the year 172910 1750. These, like the English Puritans and Quakers and the French Huguenots, had large influence in shaping the character of the nation. Among these came as early as 20. DINWIDDIE CLAN. 1 74 1, David Dinwiddie, who settled in 1744 at Marsh Creek, in Adams county, Pennsylvania. In a "Biographi- cal Sketch of the Rev. John Cuthbertson," called "the first Reformed Presbyterian minister in America," who crossed the ocean in 175 1, it is stated that Mr. Cuthbert- son came the last of August, 1 75 1 , "to David Dinwiddie's, Marsh Creek, Adams county," preached on the Sabbath. September 1st, and baptized, among others, "Mary, daugh- ter of David Dinwiddie." With this David, called in the Dinwiddie family records, "fifth David, son of David in succession," the Indiana Din- widdie line begins. Without being able as yet to trace the line back to Al- len Dinwithie of 1296, nor to John Dinwoodie who killed the outlaw, nor to Dinwoodie's laird of 15 18, four Scotch and Irish Dinwiddies are found bearing the same name. These may be designated thus: 1. David Dinwiddie or Dinwoodie of Scotland, born about 1600, or at about the time of the breaking up of the Border Clans, and at about the time of the beginning ol the migration into Ulster. The probability is that he went with so many others from Scotland into Ulster. 2. David the Second. Probable date of birth about 1631. 3. David the Third, about 1662. 4. David the Fourth, about 1693, whose wife Sarah, ac- cording to the family record, died in 1744 in Pennsylvania. 5. David the Fifth, born in 1724. THE NORTHERN INDIANA FAMILY. 21. In the Dunwoody book, which has been mentioned, there are Davids, and it seems a little singular that the first one, marked David Dunwoody (i) was an inhabitant of Chester county, Pennsylvania, in 1747 or about the time of the settlement in Adams county of David Dinwiddie. That the latter came from Ireland is certain; and that the former came from Ireland, having an untraced line of an- cestors back to Scotland, may readily be believed. Com- ing, so nearly at the same time, into the same American colony, it seems singular that they had no intercourse with each other. But there were no telephones in those days, and the counties of York and Lancaster and the Sus- quehanna River were between the counties of Adams and Chester. And it is, if not singular, curious, that the David in Adams county wrote his name, as did the other, Dunwoody. Note. It has seemed appropriate to commence the numbering of the generations with that David called the Fifth with whom the Indiana line begins, and for this purpose the Arabic characters or figures are used in this book, while for numbering the children in each family the Roman no- tation is used, thus; 3. v. denote the fifth child in the third American generation of the family where this figure and letter are found. The David who is called the Fifth is counted as Ameri- can although not born in this country. I may add that I have examined works of this kind, which are considered to be first-class, and have endeavored to imitate or combine their excellencies and to avoid what seemed to me to be defects. DINWIDD1K CLAN. I do not expect to attain perfect accuracy in regard to all the names and dates herein given, for they have come to me, as music is often played, "with variations," but 1 hope that not much fault will be found with the editor's own work.

David Dinwiddie, or David Dunwoody or David Dunwoodie, for authority will be shown for the three forms of the name as designating one and the same man — was horn in the Ulster province of Ireland, a son of David and Sarah Dinwiddie, in 1724. The date of migratiomto this country has not been ascertained with certainty, but the evidence is that it was as early as 1 741 , perhaps in 1740. There is evidence also that he came with his mother, who died in 1744, and with some brothers. So far as ap- pears from records and tombstone inscriptions the father must have died in Ireland. This David, twenty years of age when his mother died, was married, December 19, 1745, to Jean McClure, a daughter of William McClure of Octoraro, and was found at Marsh Creek in Adams county, Pennsylvania, in Aug- ust of 1 75 1 by the Rev. John Cuthbertson, being known then as since by the name Dinwiddie, although, as his will shows, he himself held to the form Dunwoody.

Up to this time Marsh Creek Cemetery, near the now noted Gettysburg, seems to have been the family burial place. THE WILL. WILL OF DAVID DINWIDDIE.

K em arks: Mr. Wilson says that the deeds, which have been ex- amined, show titles to 933 acres of land in Adams county bequeathed by the foregoing will, and how much may have been in York county is not known. The different money items named in the will amount to U>J pounds Sterling, or nearly 5,700 dollars. It is very certain that no one knows the value of the whole estate, hut it was tor those days quite an amount of property. It may be called a family characteristic to own large tracts of land.

She had been as carefully trained as her ancestor, David Dinwiddie, "the first Cove- nant Elder ordained in America," could have wished; she was so often with her father that her child form was much missed on the walks of Crown Point; and, as the following records will show, main' others ot her young "cousins," in their bright and winsome childhood, have also gone up to Paradise. Hut with them the editor was not acquainted as he was with this lovely child. And on that acquaint- anceship he takes the liberty to insert lure the following Spenserian stanzas which were written in [879, inscribed "To the memory ot Maererie Turner." TURNER. 39. Eleven years ago, last autumn, came. Into a village home, a little child; Her parents gave to her a pleasant name. And she from heavy cares their hearts beguiled; Sometimes no doubt she grieved, but often smiled. And grew in beauty as she grew in years; Grew rich in humor, yet continued mild; And seemed quite far removed from childish fears. I low should she know that this is called a world of tears? She was the youngest, and around her heart. From brothers two and gentle sisters five, Love was entwined. Love makes it hard to part, When some must die and others still survive; But love forever must be kept alive, If we would know the joy of being. blest; Love is an air in which the soul can thrive, If we love those on whom our hearts can rest; Hut parting hours must come. The}' come at God's behest. Along the paths of childhood life she walked; At home, in school, at church, she filled her place; Cheerful her flow of spirit when she talked, And winsome also with sweet childhood's grace. Her budding youth was coming on apace. She had been taught in prayer each day to bow, Had learned that she must run the Christian race, Had learned that she must seek Christ's favor now. And that a glorious crown might one day press her brow. 4 o. DINWIDDIE CLAN. Then she lay down to die. 'Twas winter time; Cold was the air and white with snow the ground; The summer birds within a distant clime. A sunny sky and leafy woods had found; Her home was soon to be a grassy mound; When spring returns with all its sounds of mirth. Then with bird-music will our groves resound; And when he comes, the Lord of second birth, Then will his sainted ones come forth from out the earth. Yes, she lay down and died. Day alter day. The bright light faded from her hazel eyes, And then the sunny spirit passed away. We could not see in Heaven the glad surprise, With which, where glories after glories rise. She looked upon the face of Heaven's great King; We have no glass with which to pierce the skies; We could not hear those lofty arches ring. While holy, happy angels round her soul did sing. Four sisters, one by one, had gone from home; Each had a happy bridal day and eve; We do not know what paths their feet may roam. Nor how, this earthly life, they each will leave; Hut no life hopes can her young heart deceive; Robed, not in bridal, but in burial white. Where they had stood she slept. Why need we grieve? Her lovely smile had faded. It was night. Had she not gone to dwell with holy ones in light? iioiu Hymns and Poems by T. n. Ball, 1888. MRS. JANE DINWIDDIE TURNER, Page 35.

Something more than the mere mention of her death 4A- DINWIDDIK CLAN may justly be allowed here in regard to Mrs. Lillian F... the: wife of A. Murray Turner, of Hammond. The home of her childhood and youth was in Hebron. The circum- stances ol her death as a young mother were peculiarly sad. One of her special friends wrote that "every bulletin that came from the sick chamber since Mrs. Turner was taken ill" was watched by the community with great solic- itude. "Crown Point, Hebron, Lowell, and Valparaiso, have been equally solicitious * ** that Mrs. Turner might recover." The same loving friend adds, as her tribute to her mem- ory: "She was the fondest of mothers, the most devoted ot wives, and the dearest ol friends;" and she considers it "but a faithful tribute" to her memory to name "her sunny, equable, loving disposition; her thorough kindness of heart; her same sweetness to everybody; her beautiful charity to the poor." A judicious friend at the editor's elbow says that the above is not overdrawn. TURNER. 45. ROSS. 5. IX. Austria C. Turner was married Dec. 23, 1886, to Charles W.

Of his wife and children no record has been obtained. Their home seems to be in Washington, D. C. William Dinwiddie was war correspondent for Harper's Weekly in the Cuban War and in regard to the Boer War in South Africa. He has written an interesting" book on Puerto Rico. In 1899 he was in Manila writing for Har- per and the New York Herald. His father wrote to 0. Dinwiddie, Sept. 14, 1899, "He will be glad to hear from you and of the doings of the 'Clan'." 4. II. W. A. Dinwiddie was married, a second time, in Washington, D. C, Feb. 27, 1878. The following notice was published at the time. "Lieut. W. A. Dinwiddie, U. S. A., was united in wed- lock with Miss Ella Kilpatrick, daughter of Judge Kilpat- rick, Chief of the Swamp Land Division, General Land Office." The wedding was called "brilliant," even for Washing- ton, over fifty distinguished society people being named in the published account as having been present. At the time of this marriage Lieutenant Dinwiddie was stationed at Champaign, Illinois, "as professor of military science in the Illinois Industrial University." Daughter: 5. ii. Daisy Dinwiddie, attending school in 1900. Although it may pass beyong the time limit of most of So. DINWIDDIE CLAX. the records in this hook, the following brief memorial seems to be justly due of W. A. Dinwiddie, whom Mrs. Klla K. Dinwiddie. in a recent letter, calls "one of the best men that ever lived." He was educated in the public schools of Northern In- diana. He graduated as a physician in Philadelphia in i860, but preferred a military life. In 1862 he entered the U. S. Army as a member of the noted 22d Iowa Infantry. After the war closed he en- tered the regular army. He was for twenty years Second and then First Lieutenant, from 1 866 to 1886. when he was retired on account of injuries received in frontier duty. Although on the retired list he was still detailed to do duty as a military instructor and was promoted to the rank of Major. After leaving Champaign he was detailed to the Iowa Wesleyan University from 1887 to 1891, and then to the Iowa State Normal School where he was Commandant of the military department till "relieved because ofillness, September, 1901." He died Nov. 4, 1901. The following are some extracts from the published account of the "Fu- neral of Major Dinwiddie." "At one o'clock yesterday the immediate friends of of Major and Mrs. Dinwiddie and the honorary pallbear- ers, representing the business interests of Cedar Falls. gathered at the family residence * * to accompany Mrs. Dinwiddie and the son and daughter to the Normal Audi- torium, where the services wire held. * * * Six of the Nor- DINWIDDIE. 81. mal cadets were bearers. * * * The casket was of the army gray broadcloth, covered with a wealth of beautiful flow- ers. The spacious Auditorium was eloboratelv draped with flags and the national colors. The seating capacity is about two thousand and the room was filled with the students, faculty, friends, citizens, and members of the G. A. R., who assembled to do honor to the soldier who for ten years had made his home with us." * * * "After the closing prayer * * the procession started for Fairview Cemetery, escorted by Major Olmsted and his cadets and the Normal band. At the cemetery three volleys were fired over the grave, the last bugle sounded, and the im- pressive services were ended. The Major's fine black horse, Belmont, with his empty saddle and reversed stir- rup, was led behind the hearse." ("And after him lead his masterless steed, While peals the minute gun.") "His 'Cadets,' scattered all over the world, will mourn when they learn that his duties are done, his arms laid down, and his saddle forever empty. SMITH. 4. III. Martha E.

The oldest representative of Hugh Dinwiddie of Gettysburg, where his mother was born, himself born in Ohio, Mr. W. E. Sweney, having been nearly all of his life a continuous resident in Porter county, has been for many years engaged at Hebron "in the mercantile and shipping trade," dealing in lumber, agricultural imple- ments, and hay, and has taken a large interest in the ar- rangements for this book, and in the progress of the "Din- widdie Clan." It has been stated in another connection that he proposed the name. Surely some Scotch blood has come down to him. T. H. B. 4. II. John M. Sweney was married by Rev. J. N.

There have now been traced from David Dinwiddle the Sixth, from six of his nine children, six lines, and from Hugh Dinwiddie, a brother of this David, two lines, making ing eight lines of descent, with many branch lines, from that Dinwiddie who settled at Marsh Creek in Pennsyl- vania; and the members who are now living in Indiana, of these eight lines, and those in Iowa and South Dakota and Oregon, and elsewhere, going back through Ohio to Pennsylvania, and from that prosperous and generally peaceful colony established by William Penn, back through the Protestant province of Ireland, reach their known an- cestor, the first David Dinwiddie mentioned in their old- est family Bibles, at about the year 1600. Without much doubt he was born in Scotland. Already there are chil- dren of the seventh American generation, six of these generations born in America, and adding the four Scotch- Irish generations, eleven generations take these children back more than three hundred years to ancestral homes in that richly historic land where oft was heard, in family and in public worship, the rich strains of that "noble El- gin," called "The sweetest of all Scotia's holy lays." Could these American children of the tenth and elventh generations find in some old historic records the annals of their ancestors in about 1575, when David the First must have been born, they would find a true Dinwiddie clan, in Scottish garb, with Scottish accent, with Scottish habits, and with Scottish virtues. 12 90. DINWIDDIE CLAN. The colonist at Marsh Creek, or Gettysburg as now known, has lefl a piece oi writing which he called Night Thoughts, and which shows that he was a man of strong religious principle and ol a deep religions experience. In his writing he mentions the instruction given In - their pas- tor and the preparation for the solemn work, as he well calls it, oi the' renewal of their "Covenants National and Solemn League" iii November, 1743. On Friday, Novem- ber 11th the covenants were- read, and a sermon preached from the text, Jeremiah 50:5. "Come and let us join our- selves to the Lord in a perpetual covenant that shall not be forgotten." During the reading of the covenant the people stood with right hands uplifted and at the close of the reading gave their assent to the words and "subscribed with their hands to the same." At this time, November 1743, he lived, he says, at Pick- que, written also Pequa, in Lancaster county, and in the fall of 1744, he says, "1 removed to Marsh Creek." He mentions also, in these Night Thoughts, his marriage, December 17, 1745, to Jean McClure at Oetoraro, which was in Lancaster county, not far from his earlier home. In reviewing something of his family life, which now commenced, he mentions having experienced "sweet as well as bitter dispensations" of Providence. He held re- sponsible positions in church life for many years, and his writing implies that he was a member for a time of the State Legislature. It is a privilege to be descended from such a man as was the Covenanter Elder, David Dinwiddie of Marsh Creek. REMARKS. 91. Remark. With more than fifty children now members of this Clan there is no danger of the organization failing for want of members; but there is some possibility that the Dinwiddie name may have no representatives. Among these fifty and more children there are now two Dinwiddie boys, Henry Dinwiddie and Keith Dinwiddie; and there is one youth, Lorraine Dinwiddie. On these rest the hopes for perpetuating in Lake county the Dinwiddie name. Esto perpetua. Note. I place much reliance as to names, dates, orthography, and statements, upon the Biographical Sketch of the Rev. John Cuthbertson, the value of which I did not at all appreciate until I came to study it as an author- ity in preparing these "Records." The Sketch relies large- ly on the diary of Mr. Cuthbertson, of which the Sketch writers had "a faithful copy of the original," and the dates given "cannot be called in question" since a regular jour- nal was kept by Mr. Cuthbertson "from his arrival in America." To the Sketch there is an Appendix containing "the Minute of the General Meeting, which paper has been handed down to posterity among the papers of Thomas Wilson of Marsh Creek, and who is supposed to have been the Secretary of the General Meeting." Among the com- missioners were some from Muddy Run, some from Piquea, and from Marsh Creek Thomas Wilson and David Dun- woodie. This is the form of the name at that time, the date being March 4, 1744. The meeting was held at Mid- dle Octoraro. 92. DINWIDDIE CLAN. It is fully established by this record that as early as 1744 David Dunwoodie, whose name is written Dinwiddie from Mr. Cuthbertson's Diary all through the Sketch, was a resident or church member at Marsh Creek. From this Sketch it may also be learned that Pequa, or Piquea as it is once written, and Octoraro were about six- teen miles apart, and both in Lancaster county, while Marsh Creek, to which from from Pequa David Dinwiddie removed was in Adams county. There seems to be a discrepancy, such as is found some- times in sacred as well as common history, between the official record of the General Meeting and the "Night Thoughts" in regard to the time of removal to Marsh Creek, the Night Thoughts placing that removal in the fall of 1744, and the official record assigning a church membership at Marsh Creek in March 1744. Both are trustworthy documents, and as there is no history at hand ol the first settlement of the family at Pequa, nor when church membership commenced at Marsh Creek, and some other particulars in regard to the family between 1740 and 1744 are not known, the two statements may both be received as correct. T. H. B. EXTRACTS. 93. IV. EXTRACTS. In the latter part of the Dunwoody Family History, are a few pages under the heading, "Family History — Din- widdie," taken it is said, "from the History of Adams and Cumberland counties, Sept. 5, 1888." A tract of William Penn's land is mentioned as given up in 1741 to settlers called "Scotch Irish of the border," and among these are "David Dinwiddie, April 1741, Hugh." These seem to have been brothers. There are also named David Din- widdie Jr., and Jane Dinwiddie. (Jane is evidently anoth- er form for Jean.) These in 1802. The following sentence shows, by composing names and dates, that these are Dinwid lies of this Dinwiddie book* having no known connection with the Dunwoodys. The sentence is: "In the old Marsh Creek County Fairfield Road, are stones giving the death of Hugh Dinwiddie, 1825; Sarah Dinwiddie, 1744; David Dinwiddie, 1802; Jane Dinwiddie [Jean] 1781; Elizabeth Dinwiddie, 1789." The marriage, by Rev. Alexander Dobbin, of Elizabeth Kerr, is given, Nov. 2, the book says, not 20, 1783. Further mention is made of a Hugh Dinwiddie who was married by Rev. A. Dobbin to Martha Finly, April 12, 1792. Children: John Dinwiddie. Sarah Dinwiddie — Heagy. Second marriage: Hugh Dinwiddie to Sarah W. Black. 94- DINWIDDIE CLAN. Children: Henry B., Cambridge, Ind.

A record to! lows of another marriage of some Hugh Dinwiddie to Jean Crawford, and the following list of children is given : Rosana Dinwiddie, Jean Ferguson, v/ Rosana Downery, Sarah Dinwiddie, John Dinwiddie, Sarah Patlon, David Dinwiddie, Martha Dinwiddie, Hugh Dinwiddie. Martha McKee, Robert Dinwiddie, Isabel Dinwiddie. Jean Dinwiddie, Isabel Reid. Under "Church History" mention is made of the ordina- tion of David Dinwiddie in 1753 and as ordained with him Jeremiah Manon, as written on page 7 1, Jeremiah Morrow on page 72. and in the biography of Rev. John Cuthbert- son, among the six elders ordained April 8, 1753, are Dav- id Dinwiddie and Jeremiah Murray, which is probably the real name and evidently Scotch. This church of which the Dinwiddies of Marsh Creek were members, fully or- ganized April 8, 1753. was called Rock Creek, and this record has been made. "The Rock Creek Church at the period of the Revolution was probably the most important and in'lae-iti il Covenantor Church in America." OTHER DINWIDDIES. 95. V. OTHER DINWIDDIES. In the Dunwoody book to which reference has more than once been made, on pages 51 and 52, is a letter from J. H. Dinwiddie of Newbern, Iowa, in which he says (date 1884), that his great-grandfather, William Dinwiddie. a brother named David, "and perhaps another brother, came from Ireland about one hundred and fifty years ago." This William Dinwiddie, he says, lived and died near Mercers- burg, Franklin county, in Pennsylvania. He names sev- en sons, John, William, Adam, Samuel, James. Joseph, and David. Four of these were in the War of the Revolution. He gives quite an amount of Dinwiddie family history, (he thinks there is really but one family of this name in the United States), and gives his own name in full as James Hill Dinwiddie, born in Blount county, Tennessee, April 11, 1825. It seems probable that the David Dinwiddie he men- tions is the David who settled at Marsh Creek in 1744; and from the records in the Dunwoody book, pages 71, 72, and 73, it appears probable that Hugh Dinwiddie, of 1741, was a brother of David. These probabilities give the probability that three broth- ers, William, David, and Hugh, came into the Pennsyl- vania colony about the middle of the eighteenth century. Adding to these David Dunwoody of Chester county. Pennsylvania of 1747, and a Georgian Dunwoody who was at first a Dinwiddie, who will be mentioned, and there are 96. DINWIDDIE CLAN. five historic heads of families as progenitors of very many Dunwoodies and Dinwiddies now in America. That there was a Hugh Dinwiddie in Adams county is evident from the foregoing extracts from records, and there must have been at least two, for that Hugh Dinwid- die who died in [825 cannot be supposed to have been old enough to hold land in 1741, and so another conjecture is hazarded here. In the possession of Rev. J. T. Wilson is the original of the following "pass" or order: "Philadelphia, Jan. 12, 1777. Major Hugh Dunwoody of the 2d Battallion of York county having died of a short illness in this city, the Bear- er, Hugh Wilson, being directed to carry the doleful tid- ings to the surviving friends of that gentleman, you are hereby requested to let him pass unmolested." The conjecture now is this, that Major Hugh Dunwoody, as the name in the military pass is written, member of a York count)' battallion, York adjoining Adams county, was that Hugh Dinwiddie mentioned in the history of Adams county as having taken up land in 1741, and hav- ing confirmed to him by warrant "April 16, 1765, 400 acres," David Dinwiddie having confirmed to him the same amount on the same day. It must have been a sec- ond Hugh Dinwiddie who was married to Martha Finly April 12, 1792, and who died in 1825. REMARKS. 9;. And it must have been a third Hugh Dinwiddie who was married to Jean Crawford, as the following" letter from Franklin W. Dinwiddie to O. Dinwiddie will show. It is dated at Rockville, Ind., Sept. 3, 1895. Extract. "I am in my 78th year. My father, Hugh Dinwiddie, was a far- mer a few miles south of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, where I was born and where he died when I was a small boy. I am the youngest member of his family, and the only one living of eleven children. I am sorry to say that I have no record ol my ancestors that I could forward to you." He mentions his own children, an only daughter Louisa, wife of Rev. J. Foxworthy of the Methodist Episcopal church, George T., a hardware merchant at Frankfort, Ind., und Win. C. and Ed. R. on ranches in Sheridan coun- ty, Wyoming. He names two who have died, James his oldest son, who died in 1890, and Franklin A., who died in infancy in 1854. He signs his name F. W. Dinwiddie, that the F is for Franklin is beyond a reasonable doubt. As already suggested, it follows from the statement in this letter, that Hugh Dinwiddie married to Jean Crow- ford, the father of four sons, John, David, Hugh, and Rob- ert, and of five daughters, Rosana, Jean, Sarah, Martha, and Isabel, was not the father Of F. W. Dinwiddie of Rock- ville. Tne following is an extract from a letter written by the Librarian of the State Library of Pennsylvania, Jan. 4, 1896. 13 98. DINWIDDIE CLAN. "There was a family in what is now York and Adams counties, Pennsylvania, prior to the Revolution. The name is sometimes written Dunwoody, it was nevertheless Din- widdle. What became of this family I cannot tell, but presume that they are scattered throughout the western states." It may be expected that a copy of this Dinwiddie book will some day reach that library. Rev. Dr. James L. Dinwiddie "a very able clergymen of the Associate Reformed Church" Mr. T. II. Wilson calls a grandson of David Dinwiddie of Marsh Creek, but his descent does not appear in these Records. The writer ot the Church History in the Dunwoody book, page 72, mentioning David Dinwiddie as one of the first "ruling elders about Gettysburg." adds that he "was the grand- father of Rev. J. L. Dinwiddie." and then he. or a tran- scriber, inserts as a parenthesis the question "Who was he?" implying that the name of his father was not known. Mr. Wilson says of this ruling elder near Gettysburg, pam- phlet, page 4. "Some of his sons settled in the South, and I have supposed that the two prominent Southern Presbyterian clergymen of that name were, no doubt, de- scendants of his." He who tries to connect in a sure line of descent the Dinwiddies in America with any one Irish orScottish line will find he has before him an impracticable and probably an impossible task. HUGH D. 99. Note. Since the above was made ready for the press there has come to me through the hands of (). Uinvviddie, of Plum Grove, from Miss Emma C. Dinwiddie, of Evan- ston, III., an outline of descendants of three Hugh Din- widdies, herself the eighth child of the third Hugh Din- widdie, which outline, .as a valuable addition to the real Dinwiddie history which the Clan wish to collect and pre- serve, I insert here in full. As the readers will see it con- firms my conjecture in regard to Major Hugh Dunwoody, and it shows also that where I wrote a third Hugh Din- widdie married to Jean Crawford, I ought to have written the "first." For both the confirmation and the correction I am thankful to Miss E. C. Dinwiddie. • I am sure her outline will be of general interest. T. H. B. HUGH DINWIDDIE (NO. I.) Among the early settlers of the "Manor of Maske," which was a reservation set apart for family use by Wm. Perm, we find the names of David and Hugh Dinwiddie. The "Manor of Maske" was located in what is now York and Adams counties, Pa., but the erection of the Manor was so little congenial with the wants or interest of the early settlers that the plan was abandoned and this large estate divided for the use of the settlers. Among the names of these early settlers we find David Dinwiddie (Dunwoody) April 4, 1741; Hugh Dinwiddie (Dunwoody) April 4, 1 74 1 . L.cfC. ioo. DINWIDDIE CLAN. They took the land in 1741 but not until 1765 were the proper record Warrants given upon Wm. Penn's reserva- tion. Then we find David I).. April 16, 1765. 400 acres, and Hugh 1).. April 16, 1765, 400 acres. These settlers styled themselves the "Yeomanry" and were absolute owners of the soil upon which they trod and upon which they held secure titles. Owing to State and Manor difficulties the legislature of Pennsylvania on March 12, [802, gave perfect titles to these early settlers upon payment ol purchase and interest money from 1765 to 1S02. The most prominent Scotch-Irish settlement in York Co.. Pa., was the' "Marsh Creek settlement" of which the present town of Gettysburg is the center. The name is taken from the small stream Marsh Creek. This district has given prominent men in civil military matters. Called upon in their early history to do active service against the Indians they became inured to all sorts of hardships and were a thoroughly self-dependent and aggressive peo- ple. It was in this district that David ane Hugh D. locat- ed lands, and while David distinguished himself in church affairs, Hugh was equally active in military affairs. The first record that we have of Hugh as a soldier is in the Associated Companies of York, 1 756, Captain Hugh IX. 66 privates. Many of these settlers were abducted and held in cap- tivity by the Indians. The wife of Hugh D., displayed great coolness and courage during these troubles with the HUGH D. ioi. Indians. It is related of her that on the 13th day of April, 1 7^8, seeing the smoke from the burning houses of her neighbors and knowing that the flames had been kindled by the Indians, she saddled her horse and with her four little children stowed away in the saddle-bags thrown across him, fled to the fort or block house, where her hus- band Capt. D., was on duty, thus saving the life of her- self and her children. At the time of the Revolutionary War the zeal of the Scotch-Irish of York Co., for military service that they had shown in Indian warfare had in no way abated. To this section belongs the honor of send- ing the first company of riflemen from the west of the Hudson River to Boston. Hugh D. responded to the call for service and in the American Archives, 4th series, Vol. 2, page 1743-44, we find the election of York Co., officers of Revolutionary War. Hugh D., was on July 28, 1775, elected Major of 2nd Battalion. He served as Major of 2nd Battalion until Dec. 31, 1776, when he was elected Lieutenant Colonel of the 3d Battalion. He died while in service at Philadelphia, Jan. 12, 1777. Hugh D. was married to Jean Crawford, daughter of John Crawford, no date of time or place of marriage. In his will dated 1776, he mentions his children as follows: 1. Rosanna, wife of James Downey. John, who died in 1780. David, who died in 1780. Hugh. Robert, died in vouth. 102. 1)1 XWIDDIK CLAN. 6.

He held an honored and respected place among his fellow- townsmen, and more than once they gave expression to it by electing him to an office of trust. He was a Presby- terian and served as a ruling elder in the Presbyterian church of Gettysburg, Pa., until he removed with his family to Peoria, 111., in 1857. Again in Peoria he was elected to the office of ruling elder, which he held until his death, Dec. 21, 1876. Gentle in manner, faithful in friend- ship, upright in all business transactions, friends were many, enemies none. In politics he was first a Whig, af- terwards a Republican; always deeply interested in affairs of state and country. He was married in Rochester, N. Y., Oct. 16, 1828, to Mary Williams. Children: 1.

This old church was built in 1793. It is located in Freedom Township, Pa., Adams Co. It took the place of the original log church of the Reformed Presbyterians that stood on the Dunwoody Farm. This log church was built about the year 175 1 and stood on David D's farm. In April 1753 David D. and Jeremiah Morrow were or- dained ruling elders. (The first ruling elders elected in America so far as I can find.) This was the "meetin' house" of a little company of Scotch-Irish Covenanter that settled in Adams Co., not far from Gettysburg, Pa. Previous to the erection of the log church on David D's farm they held "tent" services. The tent of the Coven- anters is described as simply a stand in the woods with a shelter over a board braced against a tree on which to lay Bible and Psalm-book, with rude seats in front for the congregation, over whom there was no covering but the sky. This tent service was also on David D's farm. In partaking of the Lord's supper our forefathers seated themselves at a long table and before taking their places would hand in their "tokens." Some of these lead tokens are still in existence. They are about V 2 inch in length and nearly as wide with letters R. P. (Reformed Presby- terian) on one side and L. S. (Lord's Supper) on the other side with the date 1752. 14 io6. DINWIDDIE CLAN. Dinwiddies whose relationship has not been traced back to Marsh Creek, Pennsylvania. i. John A.

Apologizing for her mother's delay in answering the letter from Orchard Grove and assigning a good reason, she proceeds and says: "I am as well able as my mother to answer your questions about the Dinwid- die History, as far as we know it, having corresponded for my mother with Mr. Brock and having supplied him with the material for the notes to his book. I do not think- there is much more to be told than is to be found in his work. I searched through the records in the Register House i OS. DIXWIDDIE CLAN. in Edinburg and copied all the registration of oar name, which 1 will copy and enclose. We can only trace- our direct line to 1675, from which date we have the "family tree." The registers of the county of Dumfries were not preserved up to that date, but we feel that all Dinwiddies must have sprung from the Dinwiddies of Dumfrieshire. Should we in further visits to that part of the country be able to trace anything that would be of interest to give, it will give much pleasure to acquaint you with the same." From this same Mary Dinwiddie, a card came in 1901. having on it a beautiful picture in colors of Westminister Abbey, and on it she writes: "Good wishes to all of the Clan." In behalf of the Clan "Thanks to 'Cousin' Mary of London." From Rev. William Dinwiddie, pastor of the Second Presbyterian Church, in Alexandria, Virginia, who has been already mentioned, the following genealogy has been received : 1. William Dinwiddie who went from Pennsylvania to to Virginia before 1775, who had three sons, Joseph, John and William : 2. Joseph, whose children were Elizabeth blunter, Wil- liam Wacthall, and Celina Frances Dinwiddie, who mar- ried Robert Wacthall and had a large family: 3. William W. Dinwiddie, who had nine sons and two daughters, the names of the sons being William, Joseph, LETTERS. 109. John C, James, Rees, Harman, Marshall, Walter, and Edgar Evans. The two daughters were twins and were the first born, and the nine sons followed born between 1830 and 1852. Of these sons two, William and John, became Pres- byterian ministers. 4. Rev.

The Dinwiddies of this family are tall, six feet high and up to six feet three inches. Question. Was this William Dinwiddie who settled in Virginia one of the seven sons of that William Dinwiddie who lived and died near Mercersburg and who had a brother named David? And, if so, are they not all connected with the Covenanter Elder of Marsh Creek? All children ought to have two names besides their family name. There would not then be so much uncertainty in tracing family lines. Edgar E. Dinwiddie, apparently one of the nine broth- ers named above, writing from Clarksville, Tennessee, savs: ''There are only five of us now left, the oldest near- ly 70, the youngest 48." His date is Oct. 1, 1900. Re- ferring to those who had been teachers, he says, "six of us have been engaged in such work." He cannot attend "the reunions because," he writes, "they come at a time I am compelled to be at home to attend to my school mat- ters." He would like a copy of this book. In the catalogue of the Peace Institute for young ladies, " at Raleigh, N. C, for the year 1895- 1896, James Dinwiddie, no. DI\\\ 1DD1L CLAN. M. A., oi University of Virginia, Principal, arc the follow- ing names of teachers: Mrs. B. M. Dinwiddie, and Misses X. C. Dinwiddie. S. II. Dinwiddie, J. W. Dinwiddie, Sue II. Dinwiddie, and Bettie C. Dinwiddie. Whether these five young ladies are sisters dors not appear in the cata- logue. One correspondent, a Dinwiddie himself, hut it maybe discreet to withhold his name and locality, writing in Oct. 1897, says: "I have met a great many men by the name of Dinwiddie and 1 have got my first one to meet yet that was not a gentleman; and all of the women of that family are fine looking ladies, ami I have two sisters that are beautiful. There are only three of us children living." The youn^ men can appreciate the withholding of name and place. Rev. Edwin C. Dinwiddie. Secretary of the American Anti-Saloon League, writes: date Feb. 3. 1899- "When in Georgia six years ago, 1 met a couple of Dunwoodysof prominence near Atlanta. They seemed to know about the family and told me that three brothers came over from the north of Ireland whither they had gone from Scot- land in persecution days and that they finally scattered, • me Robert. Lt. Governor of Virginia, remaining in that state, one going to Pennsylvania, one to Georgia. That they were from the Georgian and changed their name to Dunwoody because their grandfather did not like Robert's ways and record as Governor, and that I was undoubtedly LETTERS. in. from the Pennsylvania!!. This bore out all my informa- tion concerning our Adams county, Pennsylvania, ances- try. Could not the brothers you name, settling at Marsh Creek in 1 74 1 or thereabouts, have been the sons of the brother of Robert and the Georgian, and have been the stock of all of us Pennsylvania descendants? Do you know of the Dinwiddies at Janesville, Wiscon- sin? I understand there was a Dinwiddie in the Indiana Legislature in about '94 or '95 whom you probably know." Wm, H. Dunwoody, of Minneapolis, writes, under date of Jan. 3, 1899, "It may interest you to know that the grandmother of Theodore Roosevelt, of New York, was a Dunwoody. She was a daughter of a distant relative of ours born in Georgia." In a reply to an invitation to attend the Dinwiddie Re- union of 1900 the following was received: Mr. O. Dinwiddie, • August 23, 1900. Orchard Grove, Ind. My Dear Sir: I am directed by the Governor to acknowledge re- ceipt of your kind letter of invitation of recent date and in reply thereto that he regrets exceedingly that he can- not comply with your request. All his engagements are made by the National Committee and every available date is filled. He is very sorry but thanks you heartily for your courtesy in the matter. Very respectfully, George Curtis Treadwell, Colonel and Military Secretary. II2 . DINWIDDIE CLAN. The following is copied from a type written letter with an autograph signature. "New York, Nov. 25. 1898. O. Dinwiddie, Esq., Orchard Grove, Ind. My Dear Sir: Permit me, at this late clay, to thank you for the kind words contained in your valued letter ot the 12th. Yonrs very truly, T. ROOSEVELT." Information from Mrs. John Dinwoodie, of Flesherton, Ontario. John Dinwoodie was horn in Monaghan, Ireland, in 1817, removed to Toronto in 1847. He died in 1894. He left four children, twenty-three grandchildren, and seven great-grandchildren. His father's name was George, who had three brothers, Frank, James, and Hugh. Date, Nov. 1898. Mrs. Dinwoodie, of Ontario, is evidently an intelligent woman. Letters examined also from Forster Dunwoody, of Ire- land; Robert Dunwoody, native of Monaghan, written from Belfast, Ireland, "a very successful tea merchant;" Mary Dinwiddie, of England, who offers to send a photo- graph of Governor Dinwiddie; Thomas Dinwiddy, Green- wich, England; John L. Dinwiddie, who writes from "The LETTERS. 113. Manse, Ruthwell," Dumfriesshire, Scotland, and says, "I was appointed minister of the parish of Ruthwell nine years ago," and he also says, one derivation of the name- is from "Alleyn Dinwithie, who appears to have been a henchman of and ennobled by King Robert the Bruce;" and letters from many others. Dr. Dinwiddie K. Phillips, of Madison Run, Virginia, writes: "My father's mother was, previous to her mar- riage, a Miss Fowke; her mother was a Miss Dinwiddie (Elizabeth by name) and daughter of Mr. John Dinwiddie, a brother of Gov. Robert Dinwiddie (Colonial Gov. of Virginia) and of Mr. Lawrence Dinwiddie, Provost of Glasgow, Scotland." "Whilst in Scotland some thirty-one years ago I learned that the old barony of Dinwiddie and the adjoining one of Sibbaldie were merged into what now bears the name ot Applegarth, and that the change was of such ancient date that but few remembered there had ever existed such a Barony as that of Dinwiddie. A few days after leaving Edinboro I met with Gilbert Hamilton Dinwiddie at his residence in London. Me was an immediate descendant (as I now remember) of the Governor * * *. He informed me that he was at the battle of New Orleans, and one of those who had encountered Andrew Jackson in arms." One more sentence from this letter. "I very much re- gret that I am unable to assist you very far in your re- searches into the Dinwiddie branch of our (doubtless) mu- tual progenitors." From Madison Run, Dec. 31, 1898, Miss Nannie W. Phillips, probably a daughter of Dr. Phillips, writes: 15 n 4 . DINWIDDIE CLAN. "Some weeks ago 1 promised my mother to make you a copy of any papers we have in regard to the Dinwiddie family." * * "Alter a careful search I find very little about that branch. 1 )o not find the name mentioned far- ther hack than John Dmuiddie, brother of Robert, Gov- ernor of Virginia. 1 scud you copies ot some general out- lines of the different branches ot my lather's ancestors." "My mother joins me in best wishes to you, and in the hope that your undertaking will be a success." Dr. D. B. Phillips was Surgeon of the noted Merrimac. Extract from a Magazine. In "Tut: Biographer and Review," for Feb. 1899, Don- don, England, by Leonard Smithers, which contains sketches of seventeen noted men, and which has just come to the Editor's hands to-day, Jan. 8, 1902, the first sketch is of Thomas Dinwiddy, of London, Architect. He was born, the Review says, in 1S45. "Of Scotch de- scent, the surname Dinwithie, Dinwiddie, or Dinwiddy (see Scottish Nation, Vol. II.) is derived from the lairds of that name with ancient estates in Dumfries, where Din- widdie Station on the Caledonian Railway, a castle, and other spots, still mark the old clan, its earliest mention being in [296. In [501, and again in 1512, it is recorded the lairds were slain in a tend with the neighboring clan ol Sir Alexander Jardine. yp yfc tF ?F In 1547 the Laird of Dinwiddie, with forty-lour follow- ers, gave allegiance to England." The Review also speaks of the Battle of Dryef Sands and quotes a stanza of the poem. LETTERS. 115. Not much in this extract is new to the readers of this book; but it shows that writers widely separated have drawn material from the same sources. ( )f the architect the Review says, that at the age of nineteen he started, "a friendless youth, to win his way by his profession in London, in the teeth of many re- verses and impositions." And he succeeded. "Before he was twenty Mr. Dinwiddy opened offices in Greenwich and from that time through a third of a cen- turv's practice has there continued his official and family quarters." He was married to Miss E. C. Rooke, April 4, "six years after starting practice." His many successes as an architect amid much competition cannot be detailed here, nor the noted buildings he has planned. "In 1888 the Princess Beatrice laid the foundation stone of one of his buildings." "At the present time [1899] Mr. Dinwiddy is engaged as architect upon works to a value exceeding a quarter of a million." Pounds is probably to be understood, not dol- lars. He is, besides an architect, a noted "rating expert." In the revaluation of 1895 an ^ 1896 "the capital of the special properties he dealt with exceeded fifteen millions sterling." In the work of valuations he has had a large success. The entire article is full of interest, mentioning his Manor House, silver wedding in 1897, his family, six- sons and a daughter, his position in "Freemasonry" as Worshipful Master where the Prince of Wales was an hon- orary member, [1899] but no more extracts can be given. For a quotation from a letter written to O. Dinwiddie by this noted architect of London see page 16. u6. . DINWIDDIE (LAX. Before this section VI. had passed through the press a letter of much interest came from [. F. Dunwoody, of Joplin. Missouri, Sec. of Brand-Dunwoody Milling Co., dated March I, 1902. He is a descendant, however, of David Dunwoody, of Chester county, and not of David Dunwoody, properly Dinwiddie, of Marsh Creek. Acom- munication has also jusl been received from the Wilson- Reunion of Trumbull county, Ohio, in which it is stated that only three grandchildren of Mary Dinwiddie and John Wilson are now living, Mrs. Isabel Stewart, Mrs. Re- becca Hibler,and Mrs. Nancy McCully. Very kindly the writer says: "A sketch of the Dinwiddie family is looked tor soon, but I doubt not the compiler is finding difficul- ties in getting correct data. Let us hope he will not wait for complete accuracy in every detail, as errors may be easily corrected through subsequent publication." So this book will have one- indulgent critic. CONCLUSION. Research thus far shows that Robert Dinwiddie, Lieut. Governor oi the Virginia colony, who seems to have re- tired from Virginia to England, and whose tomb is near Bristol, had a brother, John Dinwiddie, and that some of his descendants are still in Virginia. But as yet no one seems to have traced the American Dinwiddie line back, through England or Ireland, to the acknowledged original home in Scotland. The researches show at least lour lines ot Dinwiddies, starting from three who are recognized as brothers and from one whose re- CONCLUSION. 117. lationship has not been established, having many repre- sentatives in the United States. 1 mark them I. indicating thus the first American an- cestor. These ancestors are: I. Hugh Dinwiddie, of Adams county, or perhaps of York, Pennsylvania: I. David Dinwiddie, of Adams county: I. William Dinwiddie, of Franklin county, near Mer- cersburg: I. John Dinwiddie, brother of Robert Dinwiddie, of Virginia: Records show — see Dunwoody book, pages 3 and 4, Will of "John Dinwoodie, of Hanover Parish, King George's County, Rapahanick River, in Virginia" —that he went to Glasgow, which he calls the place of his nativity, and there died in 1725 or 1726. He had, in 1725, two daughters, "Elizabeth and Jean Dinwoodie." He prob- ably left no son. The Dinwiddies of these four lines, al- though two of them commence with the form Dunwoody, are entirely distinct from the large Dunwoody family, starting in Chester county in 1747, who have preserved the form Dunwoody in an unbroken line of succession for one hundred and fifty years. For the same length of time the form Dinwiddie has been preserved unchanged by the large group of families now in North-Western Indiana. And these are all, probably, Dunwoodys and Dinwiddies alike, if the lines could be traced full} - up for three hun- dred years, kindred to Mary Dinwiddie and Thomas Din- widdv of London, and to Rev. David Dinwoodie of Scot- iis. DINWIDDIK CLAN. land. The following paragraph from a notice of the "Scotch-Irish Families of America," may fittingly close these "Records." "People of the Scotch race, mostly born in the north of Ireland, or their children or grandchildren, comprised nearly one-fourth of the total white population of the American colonies at the outbreak of the Revolution. In proportion to their relative strength they took a more im- portant part in that struggle and in all the leading events connected with American history since that time than any other race. The}- furnished more than one-fourth of Wash- ington's generals and more than one-half of the leading officers of the civil war, on both sides, as well as a large proportion of the leading statesmen of the country since 1776, including eleven presidents out of the twenty-four, most of the great editors of the country, nearly all of the great inventors, and a very large proportion of the judici- ary of the federal courts. To the Scottish race in Amer- ica belong such men as Grant, Webster, Calhoun, Greeley, Fulton, Morse, Edison, Paul Jones, Perry, Andrew Jackson. Washington Irving, Poe, Blaine, Logan, Hendricks, Sam- uel Houston, David Crockett, Alexander G. Bell, Monroe, Watterson, C. H. McCormick, James Gordon Bennett, A. T. Stewart, Buchanan, Johnson, Hayes, Arthur, Harrison, McKinley, and others." While the editor of this book is himself of Puritan and Huguenot blood, long lines of which are traced, he finds his wife's family, the Creightons. fully identified with these "Scotch-Irish of the border," and so it is not strange that he with her should find a welcome in the re-unions of the Dinwiddie Clan of Indiana.
