Notes

From Robert Palmer Rhoads ([email protected])
Father: Petheric (Of the Cairn) MCCURDY b: 1640 in Isle of Bute, Scotland
Mother: Margaret STEWARD b: 1644 in Antrim, Scotland (Robert Bruce lines)

"In the Salisbury book it is clearly inferred that this John McCurdy is the son of Patrick, who married an unknown McQuillan, in Ireland. They had one son named Samuel, and then immigrated to America. This possibility appears at the present time to be the most likely and for the time being I have chosen to accept it. Perhaps Ms. Bracken, who makes this inference in the Salisbury book, was simply wrong with her dates. She states clearly that he emigrated from the north of Ireland between 1750 and 1755 (p.17, Salisbury book).
This could simply be a typographical error and the dates could be 1730 and 1735. It should also be noted that she was relaying this information about 100 years after the fact. In keeping with the principle of parsimony, I strongly suspect that this is simply an error regarding these dates and that this John McCurdy is the son of Patrick.

The reader must understand that this is speculation on my part. I have placed John McCurdy's birth between 1680 and 1700 (since Patrick died in 1700). Some references give it as early as 1675. It is known that he was quite old when he died in 1761. The question is, how old? It is quite possible that I am in error with regard to this lineage, but, for the time being, it appears cogent.

I, and many others, would appreciate hearing from you if you have solid information regarding John McCurdy.

Notes

Married 2: MARY I TUDOR (Queen of England) 25 Jul 1554, Winchester Cathedral, London, England; d.s.p.

"was the first Queen Regnant (that is, a queen reigning in her own right rather than a queen through marriage to a king). Courageous and stubborn, her character was moulded by her earlier years: an Act of Parliament in 1533 had declared her illegitimate and removed her from the succession to the throne (she was reinstated in 1544, but her half-brother Edward removed her from the succession once more shortly before his death), whilst she was pressurised to give up the Mass and acknowledge the English Protestant Church.
Mary restored papal supremacy in England, abandoned the title of Supreme Head of the Church, reintroduced Roman Catholic bishops and began the slow reintroduction of monastic orders. Mary also revived the old heresy laws to secure the religious conversion of the country; heresy was regarded as a religious and civil offence amounting to treason (to believe in a different religion from the Sovereign was an act of defiance and disloyalty). As a result, around 300 Protestant heretics were burnt in three years - apart from eminent Protestant clergy such as Cranmer (a former archbishop and author of two Books of Common Prayer), Latimer and Ridley, these heretics were mostly poor and self-taught people. Apart from making Mary deeply unpopular, such treatment demonstrated that people were prepared to die for the Protestant settlement established in Henry's reign. The progress of Mary's conversion of the country was also limited by the vested interests of the aristocracy and gentry who had bought the monastic lands sold off after the Dissolution of the Monasteries, and who refused to return these possessions voluntarily as Mary invited them to do."
