Extractions: main page historic homes upcoming events gift shoppe ... contact us HISTORY OF THE LA GRANGE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH La Grange, the most written about town of Fayette County, had everything going for it when the Presbyterian Church was formed there in 1834. It had the only bank in the county and the only newspaper and its citizens had ambitious plans for the first railroad - the La Grange to Memphis. Church Founder The Presbyterian Church was founded by Reverend Samuel McCulloch Williamson, a surprising fact since he was from an extensive and well-known Methodist family. In order of their service, some of the other men involved with the first church were Stephen K. Sneed, Richard Watkins, Reverend John H. Gray, Reverend John N. Waddel, Philip Doddridge Ewell, Robert H. Shepperd, Reverend Angus Johnson and Reverend William S. Cochrane. The deed for the church's first location has not been found. There were two known locations: Lot 102 and the southeast corner of Lot 11. HARD BLOWS IN THE 1840s Reverend Samuel M. Williamson: Founder, died at age 42 in 1846 and was buried in the La Grange Cemetery. He was born 1804 in Northampton County, North Carolina. He was married twice. His first wife was Mary R. Chapman, daughter of Robert H. Chapman, D.D. Dr. Alexander Augustus Campbell performed their marriage ceremony in Covington in 1832. Samuel M. Williamson, the second son of Benjamin and Mary (McCulloch) Williamson, was graduated from Yale in 1823, admitted to the bar in 1825 and moved to Tennessee and commenced practice with John Grundy. After entering the ministry, he supplied the Presbyterian Church in Memphis from November 1830 to November 1833 and was one of the most able ministers to preach in Memphis. He came to the Western District Presbytery from Shiloh Presbytery in 1831.

True Williams And Alexander Belford The year 1874 was the first year that True Williams name appeared as by the Canadianfirm of the Belford BrothersCharles, Robert, and Alexandera firm http://www.twainquotes.com/TWW/TWW.html
Extractions: TRUE WILLIAMS AND ALEXANDER BELFORD The life of True W. Williams spanned a period of fifty-eight years from 1839-1897. One of Mark Twain's most prominent illustrators, Williams led a life that is bound together with the works of Twain and also with the publishing empire of one of Twain's most notorious enemiesAlexander Belford, the Canadian publishing "pirate." Throughout his career Williams provided illustrations for books by some America's most popular writers. However, history never conceded to True Williams one recognition that he desired and that Alexander Belford's company offeredto be known as an author in his own right. Most telling is his comment recorded in a letter to author Marietta Holley that was published in Watertown Daily Times , in 1931: "In whatever way or whenever I can be of any assistance to you, command me. All I ask in return is that you admire my "Frank Fairweather." That is my only weak spot, the only way to my obdurate and fickle heart."

Carolyn Rowe's book is a prodigious work and contains the pedigrees of hundreds of the descendants of Robert and Matilda Carson McGough. Much of the information on this page is from her book. Most sources say that the name of Robert's wife was Sarah Matilda Carson McGough, but some sources say her name was Mary. One family historian says that she was "traditionally called Matilda Carson McGough." See the paper by Rev. E. M. Sharp on Edward McGough's web site . In this page, I call her Matilda or Sarah Matilda. The family of Robert and Matilda Carson McGough sailed in 1773 from Newry, county Down, Northern Ireland, to Charleston, South Carolina, when their oldest son John was almost 12 years old, and their five younger children were 9, 7, 6, 5, and 3. They were part of a group of about 40 relatives and neighbors. Robert would have been 48 years old in 1773 when he migrated from Ireland with has family and neighbors.

Extractions: and their Connections with Early Frasers in Canada by Harry W. Duckworth [article from Canadian Explorer , September 1998 with updates] A mong the Frasers who were prominent in Canada in the first generation after the Conquest, the merchants known as Simon Fraser senior, and Simon Fraser junior, both of Quebec, have remained somewhat mysterious. Simon Fraser senior first appeared as a retail merchant at Quebec in the mid-1760s. Over the next thirty years or more, he quietly prospered at Quebec, making some of his money by trading fish to the West Indies and bringing rum back, and the rest of it through his retail business in British manufactured goods. Sometime late in the 1790s Simon Fraser senior retired to Scotland. He was still alive there in 1804. Simon Fraser junior is a more colourful figure. He first appears in the fall of 1774, when a ship on which he was travelling from Quebec to Dominica in the West Indies, the Lady Lovat, was wrecked on Anticosti Island in the Gulf of St Lawrence, and he and his companions spent an uncomfortable winter on that desolate shore. By fall 1775 he was a partner in an aggressive Quebec business called Shaw and Fraser, which made money selling rum to the British army during the American Revolution, but overextended itself and was driven into insolvency at the end of that War.
