Book Description
This publication, on the McNaughton families of the Glengarry County area of Ontario A-D and some of their descendants, is the first volume of a 3 volume set of books with an index in each volume, ( about 1200 pages ) which includes some of the families from Soulanges County in Quebec and some from Stormont County in Ont. I am not sure if I have included all the McNaughton families that settled in the Glengarry area but I hope I have found most of them. In some McNaughton families, the descendants have been found across both Canada and the USA.

Book Description
"This biographical miscellany, AS OTHERS SEE US, is the story of but one branch of Clan Fraser, and some of the connections. It is aimed at recording how and when the ancestors of a large Scotch family came to Canada, established themselves on the land, multiplied, dispersed though not all - and where a few of the fifth and sixth generations are living today. It is not only genealogical charting, nor altogether about people. It treats also of related circumstances and events, some of historical worth not knownto have been recorded elsewhere - the early navigation of Lake St. Francis, its ships and the men who sailed them; some of the primitive rural industries, the asheries and the potash-makers, the cedar leaf oil distilling, the crossroads cheese factories, and the hopyards; and the history of a few of the first Scotch churches in Dundee and Glengarry. Five Fraser brothers left lnvemess-shire shortly after the close of the war of 1812, chose their locations in a portion of the Indian Lands of St. Regis that became the township of Dundee, the most westerly comer of Lower Canada, one of the last areas on the south shore of the St. Lawrence river opened to white settlers." __P. 6.

Philadelphia Graveyards and Cemeteries
Author: Thomas H. KeelsPublisher: Arcadia Publishing
ISBN: 9780738512297
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 136
Book Description
Philadelphia, the birthplace of America, is the final resting place of some of the nation's greatest citizens. The burial grounds of Christ Church hold the remains of Benjamin Franklin and six other signers of the Declaration of Independence. Philadelphia pioneered the development of the rural cemetery with the establishment of Laurel Hill, eternal home to Gettysburg hero George Gordon Meade and thirty-nine other Civil War-era generals. In Philadelphia's Jewish, Catholic, and African American burial grounds rest such notable figures as Rebecca Gratz, model for the Jewish heroine of Walter Scott's Ivanhoe; John Barry, Catholic father of the U.S. Navy; and Octavius Catto, an African American civil-rights leader of the nineteenth century. Finally, there are the vanished cemeteries, such as Monument, Lafayette, and Franklin. Transformed into playgrounds and parking lots, these cemeteries were obliterated with sometimes horrific callousness. Philadelphia Graveyards and Cemeteries tells the intriguing history of these burial grounds, whether revered or long forgotten.
