JAMES MC CALL WAS IN THE CONFEDIRATE ARMY. HE WAS CAPTURED BY THE UNION ARMY AT CORENTH MISSISSIPPI, SENT TO MEMPHIS WHERE HE WAS SENT UP THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER TO ALTON ILL. THERE HE WAS IMPRISONED ON AN ISLAND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RIVER. HE WAS TO BE SENT TO NC. OR SC TO BE EXCHANGED FOR A UNION PRISONER BUT A FEW DAYS BEFORE HE WAS TO LEAVE HE GOT SICK AND DIED. HE WAS BURIED ON THE ISLAND WHICH IS NOW UNDER WATER AND HAS BEEN CALLED "SMALL POX ISLAND" BECAUSE SO MANY MEN DIED OF SMALLPOX THERE. JAMES MC CALL'S NAME APPEARS ON A MONUMENT IN ALTON IL. PLACED THERE TO HONOR THE MEN WHO DIED AND WERE BURIED ON THE ISLAND. (PICTURE OF MONUMENT ON FILE). THE SAD PART ABOUT THIS IS HIS CHILDREN NEVER KNEW WHETHER HE WAS KILLED IN THE WAR OR NOT. THEIR STEPMOTHER PUT THEM IN AN ORPHANAGE WHEN HE LEFT AND NEVER CAME BACK FOR THEM. THEY WERE TAKEN OUT OF THE ORPHANAGE AND PLACED WITH DIFFERENT FAMILIES. THE ORPHANAGE WAS LATER BURNED BY THE UNION ARMIES. MARY JANE MC CALL THOUGHT HER FATHER MAY HAVE RETURNED AND HER STEPMOTHER TOLD HIM THEY WERE KILLED IN THE FIRE. BUT MARY JANE NEVER KNEW HER FATHER HAD DIED AND HAD NOT RETURNED.

420 According to "The Cecils of Hatfield House An English Ruling Family" by David Cecil, Houghton Mifflin 1973: He became a drunkard, homosexual and declared athiest in Italy. According to research by Jim Cissell as quoted from his Internet Home page, Sir Edward visited the Virginia Colony and showed up in the 1607 Virginia Colony Census.
It appears this Edward was a signer of the Second Virginia Charter, dated May 23, 1609.
He was also known as General Cecil. "The Records of the Virginia Company of London", ed. Susan Myra Kingsbury, A.M., Ph.D., published by the Library of Congress, Washington, in 1933, 4 volumes, for your Sir Edward CECIL. Found quite a few references. On pg 81, vol III, there is a list of "Adventurers to Virginia, with the several amounts of their holdings", "Sir Edward Cecill 25" He is also listed several other places as a General Cecill). At the quarter court meeting on 9 Jun 1619 he (written General Cecill and Generall Caesill) apparently consulted with Sir Horation VEERE (VERE) and Sir Thomas GATES about some engineering issues in Virginia.
Sir Edward was also a General-and we know from Colonial Census data he was in Virginia Colony in 1607, 1611, 1619 (as General) and 1624. A Robert was in VA in 1607, and Edward in 1611, a Thomas in 1607, and a William in 1612.There is no doubt, because of the investment of Sir Thomas, Earl of Exeter, and his son Edward, in the 2nd Virginia Company, that this is the Cecil family. Each of them may have even fathered children out of wedlock in VA (based on their known reputations)-but these children probably did not carry their surname. We also know that Barbados was often a way station on the way from England to VA and MD colonies. We still do not have the definitive tie of the immigrant Cecil?s and Cissell's to MD to this family. I have not gotten any significant information from the Oxenbridge family (a different Oxenbridge was an investor in the 2nd VA company) to verify that the Thomas Cecil who married Susan Oxenbridge is the Thomas Cecil, son of above Thomas, who is documented to have married Ann Lee, daughter of a Mayor of London.

 
Cecil, Earl Edward (I142)
 
421 According to "The Cecils of Hatfield House An English Ruling Family" by David Cecil, Houghton Mifflin 1973: He went abroad for a year at age 19. Thomas was "healthy, lazy, amiable with not much of a brain and intent on mainly girls and sport." Thomas did manage to settle down respectably and became Earl of Exeter.
It appears that the Cecil's who immigrated to America are mostly from this line. According to Jim Cissell in his Internet Page, most Cissell's are able to connect with John Cecil of Maryland who arrived in 1658. From 1607 until 1624 there are Cecil's listed in the Virginia colonies such as Robert, Thomas, William and General Cecill. I am alos looking to find descendents of these Cecil's. by the first congressional census in 1790 there are Cecil's in Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, New York and most predominately Maryland.

Signer, along with son Edward, of the Second Virginia Charter, May 23, 1609. According to Linda LSyselt@aol.com, as per Paul Tobler, the Meetings of the managers of the Virginia Company were sometimes held at his house in London, first known as Burleigh House, and later as Exeter House.
Other signers: It?s on the Second Virginia Charter, May 23, 1609, and it lists as signers, among many others, Sir Edward Cecill, Knight (Cecil), Sir Henrie Nevill, Knight (Nevil), Sir Robert Payne, Knight, Sir Dudley Diggs, Knight (Digges), Captaine Clakre, George Calvert, Esquire, William Oxenbridge, Esquire (could he perhaps be related to the Susan Oxenbridge who married Thomas Cecil the Engraver?); Christopher Nicholls, John Gardener (Gardiner); John Gilbert (could this also be Guilbert?), William Payne, and Christopher Nicholds (Christopher Holt).
 
Cecil, Thomas (I115)
 
422 According to "The Cecils of Hatfield House An English Ruling Family" by David Cecil, Houghton Mifflin 1973: With his father's help, but aided by his own skill and cunning, he became Queen's Secretary by 1596. Robert was dropped by a nurse when a baby. He had grown up very short, with a crooked back and awkward way of walking, splaying his feet. He had hazel eyes. Robert the public servant was prudent, rational and reliable. Robert the private person was an extravagant reckless gambler, suspected of many affairs and liable to fits of depression. He was an MP at age 18. He never remarried after his wife died, hot that his name was not linked with many women. He was knighted in 1591 and then made a member of the Privy Council. His cousins included Anthony and Francis Bacon, brothers - though they were rivals in the Court. Their mother was Anne Cooke. In 1603 James I made him Lord Cecil, then Viscount Cranborne. In 1605 he was created Earl of Salisbury. Built first Hatfield House, bought Cranborne Estate. In 1607 James appointed him Lord Treasurer as will as Chief Secretary

 
Cecil, Robert (I116)
 
423 According to "The Cecils of Hatfield House An English Ruling Family" by David Cedil, Houghton Mifflin 1973: she was the daughter of a respected local family and higher born than her husband.
 
Heckington, Jane (I119)
 
424 According to "The Cecils of Hatfield House An English Ruling Family" by David Cedil, Houghton Mifflin 1973: She was daughter of Sir Anthony Cooke, gvernor to youn Prince Edward

 
Cooke, Mildred (I131)
 
425 According to "The Cecils of Hatfield House An English Ruling Family" by David Cedil, Houghton Mifflin 1973: She was the daughter of an Ale house proprietor. She died 2 years after they were married, in childbirth. Cheke, Mary (I135)
 
426 According to Ann Hoffmann "Lives of the Tudor Age 1485-1603", 1977, Katherine Parr was born 1512, daughter of Sir Thomas Parr, but brought up by her unnamed mother. Her first husband was Edwin (sic) Borough, "about whom little is known except that he died in about 1529". Katherine then "married John Neville, son of Lord Latimer, a widower with two children." She does not list either of them, but says Neville died about 1542/3 at which point Parr agreed to marry the future Lord High Admiral Thomas Seymour. Henry VIII overruled that marriage for his own evil ends, and she had to delay her unity with Seymour until after the King had married her and died (of syphallis?) in Junuary 1547. Ex Queen Kate died on 7 Sept 1548 a week after the birth of a daughter to her and Thomas (now Baron Seymour of Sudely) at Sudely Castle near Cheltenham, Gloucestershire. This information provided by Alan O. Watkins (alan-o-watkins@easynet.co.uk) From Queen Katherine Parr by Anthony Martienssen, McGraw Hill 1973 "The marriage of Katherine Parr and Henry VII in the summer of 1543-his 6th and last wife, her third and penultimate husband-pleased everybody. Congratulations poured in from as far afield as Venice, Paris, and Brussell, and papists and anti-papists alike praised Henry for his choice. Katherine's father had been one of Henry's close friends, her mother had been a principal Lady-in-Waiting to Henry's first Queen, Catharine of Aragon, while she herself and been born and brought up in the full glare of Henry's Court." She had been well educated under the influence of Henry's grandmother, Margaret Beauford, well known for her Humanist ideals and patroness of New Learning. Katherine and her sibs were schooled in the Royal nursery with Princess Mary and some other highborn children and taught by the noted scholar Juan Luys Vives.

She inherited the estated in Kent that had previously belonged to Borough's first wife, Anne Cobham

Poem by son of her uncle Sir George Throgmorton:
"Oh, lucky liiks that fawned on Katherine Parr!
A woman rare like ber but seldom seen,
To Borough first, and then to Latimer,
She widow was, and then became a Queen;
My mother prayed her niece with watery eyes,
To rid both her and hers from endless cries.

She, willing of herself to do us good,
Sought out the means her uncle's lifer to save;
And when the King was in his pleasing mood
She humbly then her suit begat to crave;
With wooing times denials disagree,
She spake and sped-my father was set free.

432 adopted by her father's brother John Cecil because her father died when she was age 12?
I still stand on my position that Elizabeth Cecil who married Thomas Witten was the daughter of Phillip and Elizabeth (Gittings?) Cecil. We do not know if John Cecil and Elizabeth (Sollars)Cecil had a daughter. We have collected the names of their sons from wills, etc....but no daughter is named that I have found.
On the other hand, we do know that Phillip Cecil had a daughter named
Elizabeth, who would have been about sixteen when he died. She is named in
his will and in estate papers. Philllip didn't leave much to his family
(nothing, in fact) and his widow must have struggled to keep things together.
It is quite possible that Elizabeth went to live with her uncle, John Cecil
and wife Elizabeth Sollars. She and Samuel would have been first cousins.
If somebody has found more info on John Cecil and Elizabeth Sollars having a
daughter named Elizabeth, I'd really appreciate it! Anyway, I've been doing a
lot of work on other names lately, but I always come back to old William--the
father of so many of us! I would love to solve this mystery before I pass
on...but may have to wait to ask him in person!! ;)

Hi all:

The above nails it about Elizabeth Cecil as the child of Phillip and Elizabeth
Gittings Cecil. John and Elizabeth Sollers Cecil did not (as far as we know)
ever live in the New Scotland Hundred. But Phillip Cecil's widow did! It is
still probable that Elizabeth Cecil went to live with her uncle after her
father's death in 1733.

437 Alexander McNaughton settled where Helen Furnace now stands. He came from the highlands of Scotland and always called himself "Highland Alex," and from that appellation Highland Township and Helen Furnace took their names. He was an auctioneer, and at an early day was taken many miles for that purpose. Excerpt from "First Settlers of Clarion County, Pennsylvania" by Judge Peter Clover
From Caldwell's Illustrated Historical Combination Atlas of Clarion Co., Pennsylvania
Published by J. A. Caldwell, 1877.
_____________________

...It is likely that this ill-fated pioneer had been a resident of Centre county, for Alexander McNaughton, of that district, bought the widow's right - it was Bingham land - helped her remove from the place, and in April 1806, settled with his family on Purcell's improvement, now the property of S. Wilson's heirs, at Helen Furnace. He was a Scotchman by birth; had emigrated, married an Irish woman in Philadelphia, and removed to Bald Eagle Valley, Centre County, where he was engaged in transporting and marketing iron from the eastern furnaces and forges, and whence he came to the wilds of Venango county. His family, at that time, was composed of his wife, five sons, Samuel, James, John, David, Daniel Alexander, and two daughters, Margaret and Anne, and a domestic, Betsy Harris - a splendid auxiliary force for pioneering. These are now all dead. Daniel, the last survivor, died a few years ago. The father, mother, three of the children and Betsey Harris (Mrs. P. Drysler) sleep in the little cemetery at Helen.
McNaughton and his five sons cleared a large tract and prospered fairly. The father distributed portions of the homestead plantation among his sons. The Clarion township pioneers were not far distant and were reached by a forest trail; but along the State road for many years the nearest settlements were Holmans on the west and Port Barnett on the east. The arrival of the Kapps and Siegworths, Washington township colonists brought civilization one step nearer. Later came John Vogelbacher. All these immigrants halted awhile at McNaughton's pioneer cabin, and it must have seemed a very haven of rest after their long and solitary journey over the wilderness-girt State road. And here we may remark the important bearing which the existence of this road had on the opening-up of the north.
There were two Indian camps within the bounds of Highland Township on the arrival of Alexander McNaughton. The largest was at the State Road Ripple; the other stood on the present George Bittenbender farm. The relations of the early settlers with these dusky sons of the forest were amicable, and they were not unpleasant neighbors. Betsey Harris once witnessed an Indian wedding at the Ripple. Not long after the coming of the McNaughtons, the Cornplanters all decamped. Occasionally after that Indians would pass along the road on hunting expeditions, and in 1820 a party of sixty men and four squaws passed en route to Jefferson County to hunt, returning in the winter.
McNaughton's cabin was a stopping-place and inn for travelers and immigrants on the State road. During the War of 1812 great numbers of militia men from the eastern part of the State, passed over this highway to and fro, and many encamped on McNaughton's farm. Among these was the company to which belonged James Bird, who was executed for desertion at Erie, October 1814, just before the arrival of the messenger bearing a pardon, and whose lamentable fate is the theme of a ballad well known in olden times. "Highland Alex", as was his familiar title, was also an auctioneer, and used to travel miles to act in that capacity.
McNaughton, after some years, was followed by a man named Waterhouse, who settled near by, on the Henry farm. He did not remain. George Hanhold, from New Jersey, came soon after to the farm of Samuel Gilmore. After having raised a family there, he sold the farm and returned. David Whitehill, the next settler, originally of Centre County, came from Armstrong County in the spring of 1817, and cleared the farm on which his descendants now live. Alexander Criswell emigrated from Centre County to McNaughton's Mill in 1819, but lived there a short time before departing for the State of Indiana. His eldest daughter, Hannah, married Daniel McNaughton, and is still living at the age of eighty-eight. In 1820 William Reed came from Holman's Island, in the Allegheny, to the present farm of Joseph Porter. Alexander Porter removed the same year to the land now occupied by Louis Franz; and about the same time two Irish families, those of David and James Boyd, located, the former on the Duncan McNaughton farm, the latter on that of Paul Mahle. John Reed, in 1821, moved to a tract now occupied by the farms of Isaac Imhoff and others. The descendants of William and James Reed are very numerous. Thomas Cathers settled in the township next, and after him came John Callahan (a Dunkard) in 1827, from Bedford County. Then the region began to fill up more rapidly.

449 Also spelled Burleigh-but I defer to the Oxford University Press spelling
He was High Treasurer and Prime Minister of England. He was Elizabeth I's chief minister until the day of his death.
According to "The Cecils of Hatfield House An English Ruling Family" by David Cecil, Houghton Mifflin 1973: He may have had a child out of wedlock by age 14
With his father's help he became an MP, and a justice of the peace. At 27 he became Master of the Requests to Edward VI, he was knighted shortly afterward. He retired to the country during the reign of Mary Tudor. He was a womanizer and had frequent liassons. In 1571 elizabeth I created him Lord Burghley, a year later, Knight of the Garter and Lord Treasurer.
Lord Burghley conducted what amounted to a school for young noblemen at his estate, partly to educate and partly to build the governing class and strengthen Elizabeth I
From Michael David Smart: "Sixty Old Master paintings drawn from the collection of one of England's grandest Elizabethan houses came to Lakeview Museum in Italian Renaissance and Baroque Paintings, Paintings from the Burghley House Collection...This outstanding collection of 16th to 18th century paintings has remained near intact for more than 300 years at Burghley House, a 750 room house located 90 miles from London and home to 17 generations of the Cecil family. The house is the oldest home in England still lived in continuously by the same family. Burghley House was finished in 1587 for Sir William Cecil...Though the interior was remodeled in the 1690's the house remains the finest example of late 16th century architechture in England..."

Adrian Channing reports "1st Lord Burleigh was v fond of maps, at a time when maps of 'regions' were first being produced in England. My ancestor (a Browne) sent him the first map of county Mayo, Ireland in 1585, so perhaps this fondness of maps carried down to his grandson."
