Francis <strong>Miller</strong> was born in 1796 at a farm called Steppings near <strong>the</strong> village of Bewcastle, Cumberl<strong>and</strong>, Engl<strong>and</strong><br />
2
to Gideon <strong>Miller</strong> <strong>and</strong> his second wife, Isabella Scott, <strong>and</strong> later baptized at <strong>the</strong> "Scotch Church" of Bewcastle,<br />
Knowe Presbyterian. Bewcastle is situated in <strong>the</strong> nor<strong>the</strong>rn part of Cumberl<strong>and</strong> only a few miles from <strong>the</strong> Scottish<br />
border. The borders were a region troubled for centuries by warfare <strong>and</strong> unrest with raiding back <strong>and</strong> forth by <strong>the</strong><br />
so called reivers or riding clans (including <strong>the</strong> Kerrs <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> Elliots), <strong>and</strong> though savagely "pacified" by James I,<br />
continued to be a region avoided by travelers if possible.<br />
The fact that <strong>the</strong> <strong>Miller</strong>s belonged to <strong>the</strong> "Scotch Church" may be significant, as Francis <strong>and</strong> his sister,<br />
Eleanor, marry what appear to be ano<strong>the</strong>r sister <strong>and</strong> bro<strong>the</strong>r, Mary <strong>and</strong> Robert Kerr, from Castleton, a few miles<br />
north of <strong>the</strong> Scottish border, with Francis's marriage most likely taking place in Castleton, while Eleanor's is<br />
celebrated in Bewcastle. Ano<strong>the</strong>r sister, Margaret, married a man named Ballantyne also from <strong>the</strong> Castleton side.<br />
Francis <strong>and</strong> Mary Kerr's first known children are born at Castleton, while <strong>the</strong> latter ones are born after <strong>the</strong> <strong>Miller</strong><br />
family has moved to Hawick, ano<strong>the</strong>r 15 miles or so fur<strong>the</strong>r north into Roxburghshire. What precipitated <strong>the</strong><br />
moves from Bewcastle to Castleton to Hawick is unknown. Whe<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong>se were natural routes that shepherds<br />
followed or whe<strong>the</strong>r family connections or opportunity underlay <strong>the</strong>se moves is not known. Two of Francis's sons,<br />
Gideon <strong>and</strong> John, were blacksmiths, so perhaps this was a family occupation which caused <strong>the</strong>m to move.<br />
Per Francis <strong>Miller</strong>'s declaration for naturalization, he emigrated to <strong>the</strong> United States in 1837 through <strong>the</strong> port<br />
of Liverpool. It is believed that his entire family sailed with him, including his oldest daughter, Isabella, along<br />
with her new husb<strong>and</strong>, James Oliver. It is also believed <strong>the</strong> family originally settled in <strong>the</strong> Coulter Brook section<br />
of Bovina, though after Francis is widowed <strong>and</strong> remarries Jennett , he moves to Andes <strong>and</strong> per <strong>the</strong> Beers map of<br />
<strong>Delaware</strong> <strong>County</strong> appears to be living in Gladstone Hollow just outside <strong>the</strong> village. In almost every census return,<br />
Francis identifies himself as a native of Scotl<strong>and</strong> but his tombstone identifies him as a native of Engl<strong>and</strong>.<br />
Living close by in both Bovina <strong>and</strong> Andes are <strong>the</strong> representatives of ano<strong>the</strong>r <strong>Miller</strong> family from Hawick, <strong>the</strong><br />
children of Thomas <strong>Miller</strong> <strong>and</strong> Isabella Laidlaw, who are well documented by David Hoy, Fletcher Davidson, <strong>and</strong><br />
most recently Ray LaFever. There is no obvious connection between <strong>the</strong> family of Francis <strong>Miller</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong>se o<strong>the</strong>r<br />
<strong>Miller</strong>s but some kind of kinship could of course be possible.<br />

Notes for MARY KERR:<br />
Mary Kerr is presumed to be <strong>the</strong> unnamed woman, 40-50 years of age enumerated with Francis <strong>Miller</strong> in <strong>the</strong><br />
town of Bovina, <strong>Delaware</strong> <strong>County</strong>, New York. I have not yet located Francis <strong>Miller</strong>'s return for <strong>the</strong> 1850 census,<br />
though one can deduce that if Mary Kerr <strong>Miller</strong> is <strong>the</strong> woman reported in <strong>the</strong> 1840 census, <strong>the</strong>n she most likely<br />
accompanied her family when <strong>the</strong>y emigrated from Scotl<strong>and</strong> to Bovina in 1837. Though it seems logical that she<br />
is a sister to Robert Kerr of Castleton (Where her first several children are born), who married her husb<strong>and</strong>,<br />
Francis <strong>Miller</strong>'s sister, Eleanor, it is not proven as no death record has been found for her. She may likely be <strong>the</strong><br />
Mary Kerr, who per <strong>the</strong> IGI was born in 1791 to Walter Kerr in Cavers, Roxburgh, which would make her about<br />
five years older than her husb<strong>and</strong>, but again this is not proven. However, according to <strong>the</strong> Scottish naming<br />
pattern, her second son should be named Walter <strong>and</strong> he is indeed named Walter Kerr <strong>Miller</strong>.<br />
If most of <strong>the</strong> above proves correct, it would appear that Mary Kerr <strong>Miller</strong> dies in ei<strong>the</strong>r Bovina or Andes<br />
between 1840-1855, which is roughly when her husb<strong>and</strong>, Francis, remarries a widow, Jennett , a native of<br />
Scotl<strong>and</strong> born c1814 <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> mo<strong>the</strong>r of Mrs. Mary Glendenning of Andes.<br />

Notes for JOHN FAIRBAIRN:<br />
Per his application for a pension for his service in <strong>the</strong> Union army during <strong>the</strong> American Civil War, John<br />
Fairbairn indicates that he was born in Roxburgh, Scotl<strong>and</strong>, while his death certificate from <strong>the</strong> Town of<br />
Hardenburgh indicates his place of birth as Edinburgh. However, since he himself would have supplied <strong>the</strong><br />
information for <strong>the</strong> pension application, Roxburgh is <strong>the</strong> more likely birthplace of <strong>the</strong> two. His death certificate<br />
indicates that his fa<strong>the</strong>r was Walter Fairbairn, which would indicate that John employed <strong>the</strong> traditional Scottish<br />
naming pattern in calling his first son, Walter, after his paternal gr<strong>and</strong>fa<strong>the</strong>r <strong>and</strong> his second son, Francis <strong>Miller</strong>,<br />
after his maternal gr<strong>and</strong>fa<strong>the</strong>r. Unfortunately, John's mo<strong>the</strong>r's name is not given on <strong>the</strong> death record.<br />
Our John Fairbairn fits nicely into <strong>the</strong> line of a Walter Fairbairn <strong>and</strong> Agnes Robertson of Morebattle,<br />
Roxburghshire, Scotl<strong>and</strong>, being researched by Lorna McIntosh of New Zeal<strong>and</strong> . There is a gap in <strong>the</strong> known<br />
children of Walter <strong>and</strong> Agnes which would accommodate John's birth date in <strong>the</strong> year 1812. Likewise, it would<br />
make him Walter <strong>and</strong> Agnes's second son, who according to <strong>the</strong> Scottish naming pattern for children should be<br />
named John after Agnes's fa<strong>the</strong>r, John Robertson. In this family group, given names like Walter, James, David,<br />
<strong>and</strong> Archibald are found as in <strong>the</strong> New York Fairbairns but <strong>the</strong>y are also common Scottish names of <strong>the</strong> period.<br />
Currently, no definitive proof of this relationship has been discovered but perhaps some obituary or legal<br />
document will yet be unear<strong>the</strong>d.<br />
John Fairbairn's precise time of emigration is also unknown although he is in Bovina, <strong>Delaware</strong> <strong>County</strong>, <strong>NY</strong><br />
by 1841, when he marries Elizabeth <strong>Miller</strong>. She was born in Castleton <strong>and</strong> was later of Hawick, both towns in<br />
Roxburghshire. She emigrated from Scotl<strong>and</strong> with her parents <strong>and</strong> siblings in 1837, settling on Coulter Brook in<br />
Bovina. While <strong>the</strong> towns of Bovina <strong>and</strong> Andes were filled with Scots from <strong>the</strong> border counties at that time, <strong>the</strong>re<br />
seem to have been no o<strong>the</strong>r Fairbairns besides John, unless <strong>the</strong>re was an unknown already married Fairbairn<br />
sister. Whe<strong>the</strong>r John <strong>and</strong> his wife, Elizabeth <strong>Miller</strong>, were acquainted in Scotl<strong>and</strong> is likewise unknown. John <strong>and</strong><br />
Elizabeth's first two sons, Walter (1842) <strong>and</strong> Francis M. (1844) were both born in Bovina. However, per <strong>the</strong><br />
family bible <strong>and</strong> family lore, as well as indicated in later census records, <strong>the</strong>ir third son, Jarvis B., was born on <strong>the</strong><br />
Atlantic Ocean in 1846. By family tradition, <strong>the</strong> family was en route to resettle in Texas when Jarvis was born on<br />
board a British ship <strong>and</strong> named after <strong>the</strong> ship's captain, but <strong>the</strong> birth was not registered in <strong>the</strong> ship's log until after<br />
it had sailed once again into American waters. Whe<strong>the</strong>r this story is accurate or not should be investigated a bit<br />
fur<strong>the</strong>r. Why would <strong>the</strong> family have been moving west to Texas during or immediately after <strong>the</strong> Mexican-<br />
American war Why would <strong>the</strong> family have sailed on a British ship between <strong>NY</strong> <strong>and</strong> Texas Might <strong>the</strong> family<br />
have returned to Scotl<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> were in fact in <strong>the</strong> process of sailing back to <strong>the</strong> states when <strong>the</strong> birth occurred,<br />
which might <strong>the</strong>n explain <strong>the</strong>ir passage on a British ship.<br />
By 1849, <strong>the</strong> Fairbairns were back in <strong>Delaware</strong> <strong>County</strong> when <strong>the</strong>ir son, James E. is born in Middletown<br />
(believed to be in <strong>the</strong> New Kingston valley, where Elizabeth's bro<strong>the</strong>r Gideon also rents a house <strong>and</strong> blacksmith<br />
shop around <strong>the</strong> same time). During <strong>the</strong> 1840's, I also believe <strong>the</strong>ir two oldest sons, Walter <strong>and</strong> Francis' names<br />
appear on <strong>the</strong> register of <strong>the</strong> Stone School House at Dunraven. From 1850 onwards, <strong>the</strong>y seem to have resided in<br />
that part of <strong>the</strong> Town of Sh<strong>and</strong>aken in Ulster <strong>County</strong> which would later be set aside as <strong>the</strong> Town of Hardenburgh,<br />
5
namely <strong>the</strong> Dry Brook <strong>and</strong> Millbrook valleys. Hence <strong>the</strong> Fairbairn Bible records John F. (1852), Nelson G.<br />
(1854), <strong>and</strong> George G. (1856) as being born in Sh<strong>and</strong>aken, while <strong>the</strong> youngest, William H. (1862) as born in<br />
Hardenburgh.<br />
When John Fairbairn applies for his pension, he gives his address as Belleayre, Ulster <strong>County</strong>, <strong>NY</strong>. In <strong>the</strong><br />
1880 census, Town of Hardenburgh, John <strong>and</strong> Elizabeth Fairbairn are listed as a household with <strong>the</strong>ir unmarried<br />
sons Jarvis, George, <strong>and</strong> William H., along with <strong>the</strong>ir son James, his wife, Mary, <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir children, Rachel,<br />
Francis M., <strong>and</strong> Nelson. Since Jame's daughter, Rachel is known to have been born in a house later purchased <strong>and</strong><br />
exp<strong>and</strong>ed by George Jay Gould, it may well be that at <strong>the</strong> time of <strong>the</strong> 1880 census, <strong>the</strong> family was residing in that<br />
house now known as Flyvaal <strong>and</strong> currently part of <strong>the</strong> Gould's Furlow estate in Seager.<br />
John's application for a Civil War pension makes for interesting reading. He is described as having a dark<br />
complexion <strong>and</strong> dark eyes. He attests that he was mustered at Elmira, where he became ill with typhoid fever after<br />
having to sleep on a cold floor without bedding <strong>and</strong> subsequently losing an eye to that illness. However, <strong>the</strong> army<br />
contests that he was discharged because he claimed to be forty years of age when in fact he was over fifty at <strong>the</strong><br />
time of his enlistment. John also claims that he has suffered from respiratory problems or chronic bronchitis ever<br />
since becoming ill in Elmira <strong>and</strong> is unable to do much work. There are affidavits in support of his claim from<br />
