According to The Lanark Society Settlers;Carol Bennett Mary Borrowman,who married Robert Affleck,lived to be 103.Needless to say,when she turned 100 in 1913,great celebrations were held and the editor of The Lanark Era was on hand to record her story. "Although Mrs Affleck has been bedfast for the past seven years she is still in possession of all her mental faculties and can read and sew without the aid of glasses.Her memory is good,especially with regard to events of early days.The subject of our sketch was born in Glasgow,Scotland,Nov.14,1813 She recalled a song,learned in her youth,at a time when Napoleon was living in exile. "Boney is awa from his warring and fighting But he's gone to a place that he ne'er can delight in He can sit down and tell of the scenes he has seena Where forlorn he doth mourn in the Isle of Helena."

Barrowman/McGregor Barrowman name change Thu Oct 29, 2009 12:31

James VI made an edict april 1603 declaring that anyone using and not renouncing the name of "MacGregor" would be put to death. For 171 years until the ban was repealled in 1774, the "MacGregors" were forced to change their names and their childrens names to their wives maiden last names, to keep from being killed by the english rule. When the ruling was lifted many "McGregors" had already changed their names and left for Ireland or America. That is why the surnames searched for in the scottish clans often come up under the "McGregors" if they were hidden under other names in the families.
