Old Easter Egg customs

Gra8teach@aol.com — 2006-04-15T22:29:02-06:00

The custom of giving eggs at the time of the Spring Equinox was known to the
early Egyptians, Persians, Greeks, Romans, Gauls and many other people. This
ancient fertility symbol was adapted by early Christianity in connection with
the miracle of the Resurrection and the Feast of Eggs became attached to the
celebration of Easter. In Scotland eggs were also used in the Beltane rites
( 1 May ), and like bannocks, were rolled downhill in imitation of the
movement of the sun. In Christian times, the rolling of the egg is supposed to
represent the rolling away of the the stone from the tomb of the risen Christ.

The practice of colouring the eggs is also ancient. The Persians dyed theirs
red, and still use coloured eggs representing the flowers of the field. In
Scotland, country bairns used to gather whin blossoms and other growing things
with which to dye their eggs. Commercial Easter Eggs seem to dominate
now-a-days but it is far more fun for bairns, of all ages, to make the real thing!
Eggs are traditionally given out on Easter Sunday and lets revive the practise
of rolling your Pasch ( Scots for Easter ) Egg.

Easter Eggs - take as many eggs as necessary, 1 pt of water, 2 teaspoonfuls
salt and for decoration: onion skins, flower petals, cochineal or other
colouring matter for dyeing. Put eggs, dyeing material and salt in a pan - bring
to the boil slowly and simmer for about 20 minutes. The dyed eggs can be
further decorated with paint and crayons with drawings and patterns. Just use your
imagination. Sinsyne awa an rowe yir Pasch Egg!

Beginning Scottish research

Searching for my husband's ancestors in Scotland and need help knowing where to begin. I'm used to searching in England on my side.

Henry George Galbraith born around 1935. That's all I have. Where do I apply for a birth certificate, and without FreeBMD, how do I trace details to order earlier certificates once I've got going?

John Galbreath/Kilbreth & spouse, Eleanor Johnson (d.1845, Ontario)

2006-02-16T19:18:00-06:00

Looking for information on JOHN GALBREATH/KILBRETH who married ELEANOR
JOHNSON (d.11 Feb 1845 in Edwardsburg, Grenville Co., Ontario.)

The family assumes that John Galbreath/Kilbreth was born either in Scotland
or more likely Ireland. He migrated to the north eastern part of the
Province of New York, or perhaps the Vermont territory claimed by both New
York and New Hampshire.

With advent of the American Rebellion, John Galbreath/Kelbreth/Kilbreth
served in Colonel Jessups Corps in Captain William Fraser's Company during
the whole of the American Revolution. He settled in Edwardsburgh. (Norman K.
Crowder, Early Settlers: A Source Book, p.54, Return of Disbanded Troops and
Loyalists settled in Township No. 6 Edwardsburgh, Mustered this 13th.
October 1784.)

Jessups Corps, a loyalist provincial "Corps" was raised in 1777 mainly in
the area north of Albany, New York by the Jessups: Edward, Ebenezer, and
Joseph), wealthy local merchants of the Grand Falls' area of New York State.
Jessup 's soldiers came mainly from the area north of Albany, New York,
which would include the counties of Charlotte, Tyrone, etc. (R. Garrett,
douglas@globetrotter.gc.ca, 1997)

In 1781, Jessup's Corps, the remnants of Peter's Corps (Queen's Loyal
Rangers), King's Loyal Rangers, and parts of McAlpine's Corps were merged at
St. John's, Quebec into a new unit under the command of Jessup and named the
Loyal Rangers. The Loyal Rangers were disbanded in 1784.

In a ... "Petition To the Honourable Peter ...... Esquire ... administering
the government of the province of Upper Canada... order in council... most
humbly sheweth that your petitioner ......Your petitioner having served in
Colonel Jessups Corps in Captain William Fraser's Company during the whole
of the last American Rebellion prays you may be pleased to grant his
children two hundred acres of land for each of them, thus they be on a
footing with other loyalist children, who have already received the
same...dated New Johntown, 12th. May 1797... John Galbreath...his mark..."
Upper Canada Land Petition (RG1L3), John Galbreath, Edwardsburgh, 1797, Vol.
203, G3/57, Reel C-2028, R. Collins, 02/01/97.,

Children listed in William D. Reid's Loyalists In Ontario; The Sons And
Daughters Of The American Loyalists Of Upper Canada, p. 121:-

01. Nancy m. Aaron Rose, Edwardsburgh, O.C. 14 June1797 & 18 June 1799,
N.B. It is interesting to note that Aaron Rose was born on 15 November 1775
in Manchester, Bennington Co., Vermont territory. (Gordon A. Hamilton,
gah4@psu.edu, 1997) Perhaps coincidence, the Helen & John Anderson
descendants believed that John Galbreath/Kilbreth came from Vermont.
02. Mary m. John Galer, Augusta , O.C. 15 March 1803;
03. Margaret m. Levi Bigelow, Edwardsburgh, O.C. 16 June 1807;

05. Eleanor m. John Anderson, Edwardsburgh, O.C. 22 October 1817;
06. Catherine,
07. Alice,
08. Martha m. ......... Fraser, Ernstown, O.C. 5 September 1833;
09. Hannah, O.C. 6 December 1832

The child of JOHN GALBREATH/KELBRETH and ELEANOR JOHNSON that I am
interested i is: HELEN GALBREATH, d. 11 Aug 1885, Shedden, Elgin Co.,
Ontario., buried at Shedden Cemetery; m. JOHN ANDERSON, 13 Apr 1813, Upper
Canada (Ontario); b. Abt. 1784, Scotland, U.K.; d. 1848, Edwardsburg Twp.,
Grenville Co., Ontario.
