Scott MacLeod’s (aka Gordon Kenneth MacLeod III) Family History

sgkmacleod@gmail.com is my email if you'd like to communicate further about family genealogy


I'm researching the MacLeod family from Prince Edward Island (PEI), Canada. James Edward McLeod (which he spelled MacLeod when he moved to the U.S.) was probably born on the Isle of Raasay in Inverness-shire, Scotland in the 1820s (1824?, or 1829?). He emigrated to PEI in 1839. He was married twice, and had 17 children, and was a tailor and kilt maker in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada. He then emigrated from Canada to the U.S.A. circa 1895. He died on January 5, 1899, in Boston, Massachusetts (having lived for 75? years), and was buried in West Roxbury, Massachusetts. His gravestone can be found in the Boston area. Who came before him? 
My first cousin, Mark Kenneth MacLeod (a family genealogist, significantly), has discovered recently (spring 2020) that James MacLeod's parents were Norman John MacLeod (c. 1795-1862) and Isobel MacKenzie ( -1880) from the Isle of Raasay, Scotland.

I'm primarily interested in genealogical and biographical information about the following people.

James Edward MacLeod married his first wife, Ann Bulger, July 4, 1850. They had 8 kids, of whom 6 survived. Who came before her? Her parents were Philip Bulger and Mary Duffy. 

After his first wife died, he was married again in PEI, this time to Margaret E. Barnes; they had 7 sons: Edward, Henry, Charles, Frederick, Ernest James, William, J. Gordon, and 2 daughters: Mary Gertrude, and Amy. (All born on PEI? No – Henry and Frederick were born in Halifax). Ernest James MacLeod was my great grandfather, one of whose sons Gordon had Gordon (1929-2007) (http://www.pitt.edu/~gmacleod), who is my father. Who came before Margaret Barnes? Her parents were Edward Barnes and Catherine Duffy. 

My father, Gordon K. MacLeod MD, was an Internal Medicine MD, and a Professor of Public Health. He was also the Secretary of Health in the State of Pennsylvania responsible for handling the Three Mile Island nuclear catastrophe in 1979, as well as president of the faculty senate at the University of Pittsburgh toward the end of his career there (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordon_K._MacLeod). 
My parents, Gordon Kenneth MacLeod MD and Janet Kirkbride Brown MacLeod (1935-) have two children, myself and my brother Sandy, aka Alexander Brown MacLeod (https://socratessculpturepark.org/artist/sandy-macleod/ was: http://sandysculpture.com). 

In addition, I'm researching the Mary Glynn family, my great grandmother who married my great grandfather Ernest MacLeod. She was born in St. John's, Newfoundland. Who came before Mary Glynn? Her parents were John T Glynn and Catherine O’Brien (and her grandparents are available in my cousin Mark K. MacLeod's Ancestry.com family tree - https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/tree/154485576/family?cfpid=242040162889 - if you're interested). 
I'm also researching Margaret Driscoll MacLeod, and her father's and mother's families. As I understand it she was born in Ireland, and moved to the United States around her first year of life. His name was John Driscoll and was born in County Cork, Ireland and married Catherine Ryan who was born on Banquet Hill, County Tipperary. Who came before them? Timothy Driscoll and possibly Joanna Hays, and Daniel Ryan and Mary McGrath. 

My father's eldest brother was Francis Ernest MacLeod, a Harvard student, who went also to Boston Latin School (like my father), before he died in WWII in the Vosges mountains in France at around 20 years of age. His younger siblings were Mary Regina MacLeod Kennedy, my father Gordon Kenneth MacLeod MD, Paul Roger MacLeod, and Bruce Vincent MacLeod. Bruce is the father of Mark K. MacLeod, and was a favorite uncle, and a Quaker too. 


My mother's father's father was 

Alden Hugh Brown (1869-1919) and he married Martha Holway Chadbourne (1871-1909), who died in childbirth, having given birth to a) Alexander "Sandy" Chadbourne Brown, my mother's father, so my grandfather, b) Mary Chadbourne Brown, and c) Martha Holway Brown Briscoe ("Aunt Marf"). Sandy and Rachel Gilbert Brown had Theodore "Ted" Chadbourne Brown, and Janet "Janie" Kirkbride Brown MacLeod (my mother), Mary Chadbourne Brown had Edward "Denny" Titus MD, and Martha HB Briscoe, with John "Jack" D Briscoe, had John and Alden Frank Briscoe, all favorite uncles, cousins and family members of mine. My grandfather, Sandy Brown (ACB), studied at MIT for 2 degrees in chemical engineering in the 1920s (something like a BS and MS), and went to Phillips Exeter Academy for high school, and had 9 patents to his name regarding fatty acids; he also played the western classical piano beautifully. 

Benjamin Lincoln (January 24, 1733 (O.S. January 13, 1732) – May 9, 1810), in the Chadbourne line, received the sword of surrender from the British in the Revolutionary War and fought in Shay's rebellion. I'm familiar with some of the Chadbourne history through William Chadbourne in England in the late 1500s but don't know who preceded him. William Chadbourne (1582 - aft. 1652) crossed the Atlantic on the Pied Cow (Pide-Cowe) in 1634. Lt. Alexander Scammel Chadbourne (1831-1900) of Maine, I think, (see Jim W. Corder's book "Hunting Lieutenant Chadbourne" which contains letters by my grandfather, ACB, as well as being a good read) who fought in the War of the Rebellion and the Battle of Chickamauga around 1862, is also in this line. Fort Chadbourne in Texas is named after him. Who came before them? 

Sarah Bolles (20 Jan 1656 - 1694), who married Humphrey Chadbourne (14 generations back from this author), reportedly comes from a long, documented line of kings and queens in Scotland, England and France (see Bacon's "The Chadbourne Family in America: A Family Genealogy" and, also - https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Bolles-Family-Tree-66): "Sarah Bolles has a well-established royal descent from Edward I, King of England (1272-1307) and many earlier Kings of England, Scotland and France, as published in 'Ancestral Roots of Certain American Colonists' by Frederick Lewis Weis, 7th Edition [1992] compiled by Walter Lee Sheppard, Jr." 
Here's what the online Encyclopedia Britannica says about Edward I:
"b. June 17, 1239, Westminster, Middlesex, Eng. d. July 7, 1307, Burgh by Sands, near Carlisle, Cumberland
byname EDWARD LONGSHANKS son of Henry III and king of England in 1272-1307, during a period of rising national consciousness. He strengthened the crown and Parliament against the old feudal nobility. He subdued Wales, destroying its autonomy; and he sought (unsuccessfully) the conquest of Scotland. His reign is particularly noted for administrative efficiency and legal reform. He introduced a series of statutes that did much to strengthen the crown in the feudal hierarchy. His definition and emendation of English common law has earned him the name of the "English Justinian." "
Here’s what the online Encyclopedia Britannica said about Edward I’s parents:
"Edward was the eldest son of King Henry III* and Eleanor of Provence*. In 1254 he was given the duchy of Gascony, the French Oléron, the Channel Islands, Ireland, Henry's lands in Wales, and the earldom of Chester, as well as several castles. Henry negotiated Edward's marriage with Eleanor of Castile*, half sister of Alfonso X of Leon and Castile. Edward married Eleanor at Las Huelgas in Spain (October 1254) and then traveled to Bordeaux to organize his scattered appanage. He now had his own household and officials, chancery and seal, with an exchequer (treasury) at Bristol Castle; though nominally governing all his lands, he merely enjoyed the revenues in Gascony and Ireland. He returned to England in November 1255 and attacked Llywelyn ap Gruffudd*, prince of Gwynedd, to whom his Welsh subjects had appealed for support when Edward attempted to introduce English administrative units in his Welsh lands. Edward, receiving no help from either Henry or the marcher lords, was defeated ignominiously. His arrogant lawlessness and his close association with his greedy Poitevin uncles, who had accompanied his mother from France, increased Edward's unpopularity among the English. But after the Poitevins were expelled, Edward fell under the influence of Simon de Montfort*, his uncle by marriage, with whom he made a formal pact. Montfort was the leader of a baronial clique that was attempting to curb the misgovernment of Henry." (See, too: https://www.britannica.com/biography/Henry-III-king-of-England-1207-1272 and  https://www.britannica.com/biography/Eleanor-of-Provence and https://www.britannica.com/biography/Eleanor-of-Castile and https://www.britannica.com/biography/Llywelyn-ap-Gruffudd and https://www.britannica.com/biography/Simon-de-Montfort-earl-of-Leicester).
"Edward I* reluctantly accepted the Provisions of Oxford* (1258), which gave effective government to the barons at the expense of the king. On the other hand, he intervened dramatically to support the radical Provisions of Westminster* (October 1259), which ordered the barons to accept reforms demanded by their tenants...” The Encyclopedia Britannica continues for many more pages about Edward I (https://www.britannica.com/event/Provisions-of-Oxford and https://www.britannica.com/topic/Provisions-of-Westminster and from https://www.britannica.com/biography/Edward-I-king-of-England accessed July 19, 2020).
Jeremiah O'Brien is also a direct ancestor from the revolutionary war period, who fired the first naval shot, and I'm interested in how he relates to the rest of the tree. (I recall learning this from my grandmother, Rachel Gilbert Brown, too. Granny Brown was both an 'oral historian,' - she talked a lot :) - and interested in family genealogy. She seemed especially interested in her husband Grandpa Sandy Brown's family history). Here's a newly found reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeremiah_O%27Brien.

I'm also interested in who came before my great grandfather Alden Hugh Brown, a mining engineer. James Brown? 

My mother's mother's father was Oscar Gilbert, MD of Boulder Colorado, who married Agnes Kirkbride who also had roots in Missouri, Virginia, and Colorado. Some of Agnes Kirkbride's forbears, one named Jane Horn, came from Kirbythor and Appleby in the north of England, not far from Newcastle-on-Tyne. My grandmother received some heirlooms from her, because her mother assisted Jane Horn financially at some point, I think. How does she fit into the line?

My mother’s mother, Rachel Gilbert Brown, who had a great interest in family history also said that we have a Native American Cherokee ancestor, only a few generations before her. Where does he (I think) fit in the line?

Some of Oscar Gilbert, MD's ancestors, the Powells, came from Virginia in the late 1700's. Who came before them?

There's possibly another Native American ancestor from Virginia (per cousin Susan Gilbert Harvey) in this line.

And what will genetic genealogy research show?

5 Oct 1964 • Cambridge, Middlesex, Massachusetts, USA



1966
Cuttyhunk island, Massachusetts, USA

My family first started going to Cuttyhunk island, MA, in 1966, and we stayed in both the Allen House, and the Bosworth House, 2 inns, in those first years. We've continued to go back every summer since, beginning to rent Piney's House around 1969 or so

Cuttyhunk island, Massachusetts

My family first started going to Cuttyhunk island, MA, in 1966, and we stayed in both the Allen House, and the Bosworth House, 2 inns, in those first years. We've continued to go back every summer since, beginning to rent Piney's House around 1969 or so, renting it from the niece of Hetty Shepherd Wheeler (a dean at former women's college in the Boston area), named Betty Garretson, and thanks to having learned about Piney's House (a Walpole cottage) from  Eleanor Moore (Granny Moore), whom my parents knew through the Unitarian Universalist  church in the Boston area. My father, growing up in the Boston area, had first gone to Cuttyhunk island as a kid in the 1930s, I think.

I first went to Putnam Street School, then Newhall Street School in Hamden, for 2nd-5th grade, then Ridge Hill School, a brand new school architecturally designed with open classrooms, and with names like Apollo and Gemini, (re the remarkable US space program then). Open classroom schools were a radical re-envisioning of education. (After one year at Ridge Hill School around 1971, I think, my family moved to the DC area, where I attended another open classroom school, Green Acres School in Rockville, MD, (inspired by John Dewey), where I attended 6th, and 7th grade, but for 6th months of which, my family all lived in Geneva, Switzerland.

1979
Shady Side Academy high school diploma

I received my high school diploma in 1979 from Shady Side Academy in Fox Chapel, PA, near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.




1979
Reed College, Portland, Oregon

I moved to Reed College in 1979 to study there. I lived in and around Reed from 1979-1987




1979-1987
Portland, Multnomah, Oregon, USA

I moved to Portland, OR, from Pittsburgh, PA, to attend Reed College. I lived the first semester in the Sisson dormitory (cross-Canyon), and then moved into a 'communal' Reed house in January 1980 on Clinton St. in SE Portland near People's Food Co-op

Reed College years in Portland, Oregon

I moved to Portland, OR, from Pittsburgh, PA, to attend Reed College in 1979, and lived there on and off until 1987, when I moved to the Philadelphia area. At Reed, I lived the first semester in the Sisson dormitory (cross-Canyon), and then moved into a 'communal' Reed house in January 1980 on Clinton St. in SE Portland near People's Food Co-op. I hiked the Pacific Crest Trail for 3.5 months after my first year (about 2/3rds of it), moved into the Brooklyn Street house, another 'Reed House,' after this, studied for a year in Munich, Germany, 1981-1982, through a Reed College program, hiked the PCT a second time in 1982 in the state of Washington, about half of it from the Canadian border south, and after graduating with a degree in Religion in 1985, I continued to live in the Brooklyn Street House, with an interest in communities (including visiting Alpha Farm a number of times, and also while working in Kline's Cyclamen nursery in Lake Oswego / Beaverton, OR, for 2 seasons). During these years, I also visited my favorite Uncle and Aunt Ted and Mary Brown at their tree ranch in eastern Oregon, Wisdom Creek Ranch, Medical Springs, Oregon, (near both Union, and La Grande, Oregon, too).



1981-1982
Munich, Bavaria, Germany

Through Reed College, I went to study at the University of Munich (LMU) & also through a study abroad program with Lewis & Clark college,  where classes met in Olympiazentrum. I lived in Studentenstadt in Egon Wiberg House on the English Gardens

Studying in Munich, Bavaria, Germany

Through a Reed College program, I went to study at the University of Munich (LMU) & also through a study abroad program in conjunction with Lewis & Clark college, where classes met in Olympiazentrum. I lived in Studentenstadt in Egon Wiberg House on the 6th floor on the English Gardens. During this year, I won a very small ZIS stipendium to study bagpiping in Scotland, and recall traveling to Scotland, and taking a workshop with the great piper Duncan Johnstone. I think the paper I had to write for this still exists in the library at Schloss Salem, a headquarters of the UNESCO ZIS program.




Jan 1982
Portland, Multnomah, Oregon, USA

I think I moved into the Brooklyn Street House, at 2202 SE Brooklyn Street, Portland, Oregon, 97202, as a Reed College student, in January of 1982 and lived in this collective house with other Reed students on and off through 1987, when I moved back east

Moved into the Brooklyn Street 'Reed House'

I think I moved into the Brooklyn Street House, at 2202 SE Brooklyn Street, Portland, Oregon, 97202, as a Reed College student, in January of 1982, and lived in this collective house with other Reed students on and off through 1987, when I moved back east to the Philadelphia area, to study then at Pendle Hill, a Quaker Center for Study and Contemplation, for year.  I had an interest in living in community, both from the Reed collective houses, I had lived in, as well as Alpha Farm in the Oregon coast range, and from Quakers too, who have a long history of growing communities, both in Quaker Meetings, and in other ways.



1985
Portland, Multnomah, Oregon

I received my college diploma in 1985 from Reed College in Portland, OR, in Religion (in German too). My senior thesis was on Rosemary Ruether's 1983  book "Sexism  God-Talk" http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/04/green-headed-tanager-doing-major.html



1987
Cuttyhunk island, Massachusetts, USA

My parents were able to buy Piney's House on Cuttyhunk island in 1987, the house my family had rented since around 1969 or so, & which was so small my brother and I had to sleep outside in a tent (2 tents) every summer for years, an outside address :)

Piney's House, Cuttyhunk island, MA

My parents were able to buy Piney's House on Cuttyhunk island in 1987, the house my family had rented since around 1969 or so, & which was so small my brother and I had to sleep outside in a tent (2 tents) every summer for years, an outside address :) Cuttyhunk in the summers in the 1970s in particular were very fun - and partly because of the sense of community there (which I also touch on with regards to living in Reed Houses, communal houses shared by Reed students +)




1987-1991
Wallingford, Delaware county, Pennsylvania, USA

I moved from Portland, OR, to Pendle Hill (a Quaker study center), in Wallingford, PA, near Swarthmore College, as a student for 3 semesters. (I had wanted to study Yoga with Mary Dunn, who had just moved from San Diego to NYC, but which didn't work out). 

Pendle Hill Quaker Center for Study and Contemplation

I moved from Portland, Oregon, to Pendle Hill (a Quaker Center for Study and Contemplation), in Wallingford, PA, near Swarthmore College, in the Philadelphia area, as a student for 3 terms. (I had wanted to study Yoga with Mary Dunn, who had just moved from San Diego to NYC, but which didn't work out). My Uncle Bruce MacLeod (my father's youngest sibling) had been a student at Pendle Hill as well, and helped me become familiar with it. After studying for a year, I found a place to stay in the attic of the local Quakers' Sam & Jane James' house, in Media, PA (a beautiful 1 acre property), and worked in the Pendle Hill Bookstore / Pendle Hill Publishing for 2 1/2 years, community on my bicycle, even through winter, to Pendle Hill from here. (I became a member of the Society of Friends - RSOF - some years later, while studying in Edinburgh, Scotland in 2003-2004 - http://www.quakerquaker.org/profile/ScottMacLeod - and involved in the Central Edinburgh Quaker Meeting). Am interested these days in Nontheist Friends.



1991-2001
San Francisco Bay Area, California, USA

I moved to San Francisco in 1991 to study at the Iyengar Yoga Center, where I completed a 2 year CA certificate program in 1 year because I had a good practice, thanks to Dona Holleman's self-published books "Yoga for Teacher & Student" & "Asana.."

Studying & Teaching Yoga in SF

I moved to San Francisco in 1991 to study at the Iyengar Yoga Center on Taraval St., where I completed a 2 year CA certificate program in 1 year because I had a good daily Yoga practice, thanks to Dona Holleman's self-published companion books "Yoga for Teacher & Student" & "Asana in Photo." Since 1991, I've lived in about 5 different places in the SF Bay Area since then, on and off,  - Park Merced in SF, on Stuart Street in Berkeley, on upper Market Street in SF, from 1994-2001, and at 2909 Ashby Street, in Berkeley, CA, 94705 in the 'Tree House': ), and now in Canyon, CA 94516. I enjoyed taking Angela Farmer and Victor Van Kooten's Yoga workshops first in around 1984, in Portland, Oregon, due to their creativity and vision, especially.  




1994-2001
3632 Market Street, San Francisco, CA, 94131

I lived in the Garden Cottage here from 1994-2001, above the Romaine Street pedestrian bridge over Market St, riding my bicycle up Market Street with an early little ZAP electric motor, and teaching Yoga. Bill Roberts was landlord living in front domicile.

Living on upper Market Street while teaching Yoga in SF

I lived in the Garden Cottage at 3632 Market St. from 1994-2001, behind a whole row of houses, and looking out in 2 directions on gardens. I only rode my bicycle in those years (as a Friendly witness for global warming even) and rode up Market Street with an early, little ZAP electric motor, and while both teaching Yoga, as well as hearing many great San Francisco Symphony Concerts while working there as well. Bill Roberts was my landlord living in front domicile of 3632, and we still occasionally share a meal together.
