Update Oct 2010.

Updated June 2010 –Sandra Scott Cook- Many pictures added thanks to Stena Carter Cook and Doris Milton Watson

as well as some additional family.

Cook Family of Nova Scotia- McLelland, McClelland, McLellan

Note from the Sandra;

The below pictures were gathered from various website. I have no idea if the McLellan Castle pictured below has anything to do with our children’s

ancestors, however it is interesting. If any of us ever get to that area of Scotland it may be worth a visit. From what I have pieced together their ancestors

may have immigrated from that area or close. Certainly more research would be needed. The written names and were taken from various census and

family information. I want to thank Mr. Ross Dickson for his contribution with helping me sort out this family via emails. Ross has his own web

site CLICK FOR Ross Dickson Family HERE which is worth a visit many common ancestors. I believe he figured out that he and Stephen would be forth cousins

once removed.

Note’s from Ross-

“It would appear that your husband and I are in fact fourth cousins once removed, if I've got the calculation correct.  Norman MacIntosh, your husband's

g-g-g-grandfather, we believe was a brother of David MacIntosh, my g-g-grandfather.  Our common ancestors were John & Euphemia MacIntosh.”

“North Britain was a common synonym for Scotland in those days.  In fact, occasionally the abbreviation "N.B." was used, which

is a real headache for New Brunswick genealogists let me tell you :-)The bunch of them (McNarin, McClellan and Girvan) are believed to have all come from the Galloway region of southwest Scotland -- hence the name they gave their settlement, Galloway.  This is pretty much confirmed for the McNarin/McNairns because the name is so rare and Galloway is one of the places.  Proving that that was where James McClellan started might be a little harder because McClellan/McLellan MacLelland/etc/etc/etc is a more common name.”

The Clan MacLellan uses the coat of arms for Lord Kircudbright. Robert M'Clellan of Bomby was installed as the first Lord Kircudbright by King Charles I in 1633. Many of the symbols predate the title.

The crest orignates from a great event in MacLellan history. Black Morrow, an Irish bandit was terrorizing the countryside around Kircudbright. King James offered the Barony of Kircudbright to whomever captured the bandit, dead or alive. William MacClellan presented the head of the bandit on his sword to the king. When the king appreared to have forgotten his promise, William bade him "Think On". Hence the motto and the crest.

Maclellan's Castle
A castellated town house, complete except for its roof, built by the then provost of Kirkcudbright, Thomas MacLellan of Bombie, in the 1570s but probably never finished.

This Large town house was built in 1582 by Sir Thomas MacLellan of Bombie, Provist of Kirkcudbrught,using stones from a Franciscan friary that sheltered Mary, Queen of Scots in 1563.Tradition states that some of the fifteen rooms on the upper three floors were never completed. The castle was abandoned by 1700 and the roof stripped in1752. It was taken into state care in 1912.

The stair leads to the first floor where the great hall has a huge lintel over the fireplace. The laird's chamber is beyond this. two lesser chambers are located in the wings, and each has a latrine. From the stair hall is a small room which overlooks the entrance. Also from here is a small aperture through to the great hall fireplace-the laird's lug. There were three newel staircases leading to the upper floors, which are now gone, but the walls are basically complete to the eaves. Kirkcudbright (Pronounced ‘Kir-coo-bry”) McLellan name may have originated from Mac Gille Fhaolain ( son of the servant or devotee of St Fillan.

James McClelland

Anthony Narin

On the 23rd Day of July 1817 before me Wm. Hannington Esq. one of His Majesty's Justices of the Peace for the County of Westmorland, personally appeared the above named Samuel Girvan, James McClellan, & Anthoy McNarran, and made oath that the Several Matters, and things set forth in the Before Written Petition are just and true. Wm. Hannington J.P.

5th Aug 1817 the situation applied for above is vacant -- Geo. Sproule

1. James McLelland, born 1781 in Scotland, North Britain died Mar 29, 1856 in NB Canada buried Galloway Cemetery, NB. Age 65. From the above information we can see that James and Margaret migrated from Gallowayshire, Scotland to New Brunswick in the spring of 1817. James McClelland with Samuel Girvan and Anthony McNairn petitioned together for land a little south of Kingston (now Rexton) and thereby founded the settlement of Galloway. From the later Census information we can see that both he and Margaret were listed as born in Scotland.

Galloway Cemetery

“When the first Scottish settlers to Galloway considered their need for a burying ground,
they agreed that the first family to have a death would provide land for the cemetery.
When the James McClelland family lost a child, the Galloway cemetery was set up on
a portion of the McClelland grant.  The beautifully tended, fenced cemetery, on the Galloway Road

has over one hundred and fifty stones, dating back to 1817.  However, there is no readable inscription

on any of the stones for the McClelland child who caused the cemetery to be established there.”

He married Margaret Douglas, born 1891 in Scotland, died Apr 21, 1856. Age 65. Note I got the maiden name of Douglas from Ross Dickson which he got from David MacLelland's memoirs, also the names and dates of children Jane, James1, John and William. The middle 4 children I was able to piece together from census records and were verified from these memoirs.

Children:

i Jane McLelland , born 1816 in Scotland

ii James McLelland, born ab 1819 died young ab 1820

(Likely the child referred to above as the child that passed away and

caused the cemetery to be placed on James McClelland’s property.)

iii Robert McLelland, born Sept 19, 1820 in Galloway NB, died Oct 29, 1893 in Galloway Cemetery, Kent Co, NB. Robert and Flora had 7 children. (Margaret 1852-1922,Elizabeth 1854-1943,David 1857-1936, James Dec01, 1859-1935, George Gordon 1861-1897, Annie 1863-1942, Christina Jane 1869-Aug18 1872)

Third Generation

3. Norman MacIntosh McLellan, (2.Samuel², 1.James¹) born April 1, 1861 in Rexton, Galloway Kent Co, NB, died Jan 03, 1941 in Amherst, NS. Found Norman and Family in 1901 Census Cumberland County River Hebert Norman Age 36 born April 01, 1864. Olive McLellan on census was age 26 born Oct 5, 1875. According to Information through family members Norman was 15 yrs older than his wife. According to Nan he was 83 when he passed away in 1941. So he could have been born as early as 1858. Hoping to find an obit, birth record or something more for confirmation. Also his death date is a bit unclear It is know he died around Christmas time could have been late or early 1941, or as early as Dec 1940 or late as Jan 1942. Hope to clear up someday. The birthdates for Norman and Olives children, I have used all came from a small note book Nan Addie had. From correspondence I have had with Ross Dickson who has checked the 1861 and 1871 census for me. Norman was listed on the 1871 census age 10 Richibucto Parrish c-3, pg35, family 108. If this information is correct that would make Norman born 1861, which would seem more accurate according to the family info of him being 15 yrs older than his wife Olive. On the 1871 census we would have his father as being Samuel McLellan and mother Sarah MacIntosh. It would appear Norman left New Brunswick sometime between 1891 and 1894 to settle in River Hebert NS, where he met and married Olive Jane Cates. I spoke to Doris Watson Annie McLellan Milton’s Daughter and she told me that Norman had a stroke, happened Christmas Eve 1940, (I am typing from my messed up notes) Olive was playing Dominos and Norman was in a tiny bedroom he knocked over a lit lamp Gramma Olive heard it and was able to get to him. Doris said her mom Annie and possibly Aunt Flo stayed with them until Grampa Norman passed away in January 1941, which would have made him just shy of 80 years old.

Death Record for Norman Cumberland Co 1909-1963 lists below.

Name Year of death Age at death

McLellan, Norman (Mac) 1941 79y9m2d

Using this information and his birthdate I get his death date of Jan 03, 1941.Which would correspond with the information Doris had. I now conclude Norman born April 01,1861and died Jan03,1941.

I have also viewed Normans death record his full name was listed as Norman MacIntosh McLellan born New Brunswick April 01, 1860, age80y9m2d died Jan03, 1941wife -Olive informant- Cecil McLellan son.

Norman’s parents are listed as Samuel McLellan and Sarah MILLER???Not Sarah MacIntosh??Norman buried Amherst, NS. Undertaker-Robie Furlong

The only know picture of Norman McLellan to date. Normans headstone

The above picture was taken in1890 Colchester County NS. Norman would have been approximately 28 yrs old.

He married Olive Jane Cates, March 1894, born May 10, 1875, (daughter of William C.E. Cates and Livonia J. Church) Died May 8, 1959, buried in Highland View Cemetery, Amherst NS. Olive: I got her birth date from 1901 census Cumberland Co. NS. Sometime after the death of her second husband Claire Shipley, Olive went to live with her daughter Flo in River Hebert until she died of Old Age. If the above dates are correct she was just shy of her 84^th birthday. Doris has a card that her mom Annie was going to send Olive for her birthday but she passed away just before. Maybe Nan Addie was thinking of her mom being 83 when she passed away and not her dad?

Marriage record Transcribed by Don Lewis Cumberland County record #5846 McLellan John N. to Jane Kates 1894. I would say between Mar08 and Mar13, 1894 unfortunately of the 1000’s of records for this time period this particular record lacked information as to parents etc that others contained. I also viewed the original record.

I viewed a birth record of Female born May 18, 1876 parents William and Livonia Cates could be Olive.

I viewed her death record Olive Jane Shipley born Shulee, May 10, 1876 she died from Pulmonary Oedema, River Hebert age 82y 11m 28d buried Amherst NS May12, 1959.Undertaker R.A. Furlong Informant-Mrs. Roy Lorette (daughter)

Children:

i Austin McLellan, born 1891 or 1892, died Feb 04, 1976. He never married. His birthdate, according to 1901 census for Cumberland County, Austin age 7 yrs born July 31, 1894. Which I suspect may be correct if his parents were married in 1894. 1n 1891 Olive would have only been 16, although in those days it was quite common for a girl to marry that young. Although Norman appeared as single on the 1891 census with his parents in NB. Marriage date of March1894 of Norman and Olive. Austin died in a house fire in River Hebert, NS.

Birth certificate she got for old age pension. I believe she told me the date was July 8, 1899 and that she had always celebrated the 15th or it was the other way around. Her mom was not going to change the day of celebration. Note July 15 was the same day as her sister our Addie.
