McIlvaine - of Grimmet

Note: If you find "They had one child". These words are generated by my genealogical program. There may be more children , but I only entered one. 

The first eleven generations are not proved by me to be true, but are a possibility. I have not done enough research to be sure this is our line. I have placed these first eleven generations here only as a guide to help fellow researchers. I have documented from Andrew McIlvaine's son, #42 Moses, who came to Mt. Pleasant township, York County now Adams County Pa., in ca 1752.

This web site has more information on the first eleven generations: http://www.halcyon.com/dianes/genealogy/mcilvain.html

*******

1. Gilberto ? MACYLVEYNE, 17G Grandfather, M.

Had a castle in Ayr in 1333. May be father or grandfather of Nigel.

Lairds of Grimmet are dated to a group of charters and legal documents which were recorded in 1529. From that time on the head of the family was formally called the Laird of Grimmet. The last Laird whom either died or left Scotland in 1747, lived at Thomaston.

Credited with being the founder of the estates of Grimmet. He is brought into the records in a confirmation of the lands of Grimmet and Attiquin by King James of Alan, son of Gilbert MacYlveyne in June 1529. This record confirms the family existed before Nigel. It is presumed that Nigel was the father of Gilbert. Some say Nigel was the son of Gilbert MacYlveyne.

He was confirmed of Grimmet by Queen Mary 4 Apr 1546 as son and heir of Alan. Gilbert had several sons of which Patrick is the only one proven. Other may be David, Gilbert, Oliver and Thomas.

1548 the Exchequer of Rolls of Scotland Vol 18, p 438 shows certain concessions made on monies due on death of those killed in battle of Fawside. Patrick has been granted the lands. Life rent of the merklands of Nether Grummet were reserved to Janet Corrie, Patrick's mother, widow of Gilbert.

Patrick MOILVANE succeeded his father, Gilbert, October 25, 1547 and became Laird of Grimmet for the years 1547-1613. The estates included Upper Grimmet, Lower or Nether Grimmet and Attiquin.

Hlyrood House, Edinburgh, 22 Feb 1597 A Document signed by King James VI confirming the lands as follows " The King as administrator, etc., confirms to one Patrick McIlvaine of Grummet (from whom Isobella Kennedy, his wife, is conveyed a life estate) 2 1/2 measures of land in the Manor of Lower Grummet and 1/2 measure of land adjacent, called Willistoun )occupied by J.

Held of Henry 1, Lord and Seneschal of Scotland and Earl of Carrick"

Patrick married Isobella KENNEDY Lady, 12G Grandmother, F.

Some say Isobel Kennedy Lady is not John's mother but that Patrick was first married to Julianna Shaw. In the Register of Sasines for 1601, Patrick's wife is referred to as "Isobel Kennedy, Lady Grymett". She may have been the widow of Kennedy of Knockdon.

16. John McILVAINE, 11G Grandfather, M. Born in Ayrshire, Scotland ca 1570. John died in Nov 1637 in Ayrshire, Scotland. Occupation: Laird of Grimmet 1613-1637.

By this marriage the estates of his wife's family Thomaston Castle came into the McIlvaine family.

30 Mar 1610 In George Corry's will it states that his son having died, his daughter Ann was heiress. The heads of the family retained the title of Laird of Grimmet but always thereafter lived at Thomaston.

The Glasgow Commissariat August 20 1643 mentions Juliana Schaw, spouse of John McIlvaine of Grimmet. Her will names daughters Anne and Juliane McIlvaine. Unlike England where the woman's property and wealth became the husband's in Scotland they had equal rights to property and to head families.

Quentin under the new law of 1673, recorded his Coat of Arms with the Lord Lyon King of Arms, Edinburgh. They had been engraved on the Gimmet Castle walls for three centuries. His will dated 2 Aug 1694. and probated January 5, 1699. It mentioned a niece, the daughter of William Cunningham, and his nephews, the young sons of John McIlvane of Grimmet, to whom he willed Upper Grimmet but in a codicil he declared that he no longer owned it, having been sold to pay debts and fines.

In 1660 Quentin married Marion BLAIR, F, daughter of Sir Bryce BLAIR of Dalrty, M.

28. John McILVAINE, 9G Grandfather, M. Born in Ayrshire, Scotland ca 1640.

36. James McILVAINE, 8G Uncle, M. Born in Ayrshire, Scotland on 11 Jun 1688. James died ca 1739 in S. C.

James Mackilwean is believed to be the brother of Robert and Andrew, sons of John McIlvaine of Grimett and Sarah Clark who lived to Ireland. It is believed that he came to America with Robert and Andrew. James was in North Carolina in 1738 settling in eastern North Carolina, his plantation called Tower Hill. He was a surveyor and was prominent in the colony. He married Elinor and they had several children: John, Francis, Margaret, Mary and Sarah. Mary was the wife of the first governor of North Carolina.

ca 1713 Andrew first married Elizabeth FINLEY ? SWAN, 7G Grandmother, F.

If her husband married Sarah Finley in 1717 or 1718 these can not all be Elizabeth's children. (from ?) I have left as I have no documentation to move them. some think Sarah and Elizabeth are the same person. I find much disagreement over who his wife/wives really was/were. I can find no documents at present to support any of the ideas presented.

U. S. Direct (or Glass) Tax of 1798. We see that Andrew had a stone mill 48 by 33, a sawmill and a frame barn 55 by 33 and a shop. Also 198 acres with value of $3,400. He had a stone house 40 by 28 and a log kitchen 14 by 12. Brother John had a stone and log barn 60 by 26 and 188 acres and value of $1034. John had a log house 30 by 23 and a smaller structure 11 by 23 with a milk house. Brother Alexander's wife had a small log barn and 73 acres and value of $430. Rebecca had a log house 22c by 22 and a kitchen 15 by 13.

We can see that the McIlvain family was one of the well off families in Mt. Pleasant township during the period 1752 - 1811.

Will was probated in York County.

Received document F-137 that is not the will but the family approving of the administrator. Document dated 20 Jun 1783. Mary is listed as widow and relict of deceased and her two oldest sons Alexander and Andrew are listed and they are all approving of John the other of the sons being the administrator.

In the Inventory dated 10 Jun 1783 it calls Moses the Elder. I see from the signatures that the person drawing up the document adds an e to the name and when John signs the document he does not. From will of son Alexander we can add another bother William.

From these documents we see that wife's name is given as Mary not Margaret and five male children are documented: Andrew, Alexander, John, William and Moses. Since the name Alexander is first introduced here and Margaret Martin's father was Alexander Martin, I can presume that Margaret's name was either Mary Margaret or Margaret Mary and thus was called Mary.

I was sent a gedcom by Mac [email protected] It lists eight children for Moses but shows no documentation. I am listing them and his marriages and dates. I have no documentation on most.

Moses married Margaret (Mary?) MARTIN, 6G Grandmother, F, daughter of Alexander MARTIN, M.

Margaret Martin's sister Rebekah married a John McIlvain, so possibly John was a brother of Moses.

They had the following children:

50 i. Ann, F (1733-)

51 ii. Andrew, M (1736-1811)

52 iii. Alexander, M (1735-1794)

Have a copy of his will and probate. It lists his brothers Andrew, John, Moses and William. Lists his wife as Rebekah. I presume that both of his children died young. as not in will. some believe that his estate was not completely probated until 1838. forty years seems like an awful long time.

Dispersement #4 to settle estate states "Alexander McIlvain's heirs - Special Legacy $200." This to me links my husband's ancestor Alexander McIlvain, who died ca 15 -20 years earlier, to him.

The following papers have been found that may be part of Alexander's estate settlement. Calls him late of Mt. Pleasant township. With his father-in-law dying in 1831 he may have gone back to Mt. Pleasant township.

Dated 7 Jul 1838 and an added note 7 Aug 1838 copy confirmed will (Some say this may be papers relating to a Alexander McIlvain who died in 1793 in Mt. Pleasant twp.)

We do know that sometime between the summer 1830 and 1840 Alexander is no longer with his family. His last child a daughter was not in the 1830 census but is five to ten in the 1840 Richland county OH census. This may place his death ca 1835. Also I have a document dated 2 March 1846 York County, PA Deed Book 6C p 290 - 300 "...Mary McIlvaine of said county of Richland Ohio who was the daughter of Jacob Reisinger late of the county of York in the commonwealth of Pennsylvania deceased and who intermarried with Alexander McIlvain Sr., now deceased...."

They removed to Iowa living in Lineville awhile then buying and coming to the property near the Argo school house, two and one-half miles east of Pleasanton, living there until the death of Mr. Argo March 30, 1898.

On 19 Jul 1843 when Anna Mary Catherine Judith was 15, she married William ARGO, GG Grandfather, M, son of John A. (? Alden) ARGO, M (bef 1762-bef 1830) & Naomi ??? (was It SMITH?), F (18 Apr 1804-14 Jan 1894), in Mansfield, OH. Born in Mansfield OH Or Jefferson Co. OH on 15 Mar 1825. Abstract from Descriptive Rolls 5 Apr 1862 says Nativity Jefferson County, OH. William died in Spring Valley Near Pleasanton, IA on 30 Mar 1898; he was 73. Buried in Gammill Cemetery, Hamilton Twp. Decatur Co., IA. Occupation: Cooper, Store Owner, Farmer. Education: Could Read And Write.

In Decatur Co. Hamilton Twp on William Argo's death certificate it states that he was born in Mansfield, OH. William is probably the 5-10 yr old in the Federal 1830 census of the William Burge family, as he was 5 1/2 years old in Nov. 1830, the date of the Census. Did he have a step brother, half brother or a brother; as another boy is 0-5 years old? In the 1840 federal census Richland Co. OH Burge, Wm L. there is a male 15-20 and one male 30-40 and one female 30-40. We know he married on July 19, 1843 in Richland Co. Anna Mary McIlvain and married by George Leiter. L. Wesley Argo in "The Argo Families Revisited", believed Wm. probably 'descended from one of the five Argo brothers who migrated from Delaware westward through Greene County, Pennsylvania, probably the son of one of the unknown brothers of Smith Argo (23-AY)' (I believe probably a brother of Smith by a later marriage.) Possibly lived in the upper portion of West VA near Greene Co., PA or between PA and OH. In Mansfield (Richland County) no records of any Argos are found during 1820-1830. A Smith Argo is found in Chippewa Township, Wayne County, Ohio 1820 Ohio census. "Smith Argo, males one 0-10, two 10-16, one 26-24, females, three 0-10, one 26-45. Argo in his book states Smith Argo was in Wayne County (near Richland County) in 1819 but returned to Greene County, PA where he was in the 1810 and 1830 census. No record of land in Wayne Co., Ohio was found for Smith Argo. I do strongly follow the idea that John Alden Argo was Smith Argo's father or brother. The only way this can be proved or disproved would be to obtain an old old family Bible from the Argo family In 1830 land records of Richland(later Ashland) County, Ohio. "2nd day of March A.D. 1830 we find William Burge and Naomi Burge his wife purchased in Vermilion Twp. 'North part of the East half of the Northwest quarter of Section #11 Township No 21, Range 16 of this Virginia Military District School lands grant ed by Congress for the use of Schools and subject to the regulations and restrictions of the Legislature containing 22 acres 3 roods and 31 1/2 perches be the same more or less'. After William and Anna Mary Argo are married we find land records in Richland Co., Ohio. One dated 13th day of March 1848 "they purchased Lot #2 in Frees Addition, Mansfield from John Free and wife." One dated July 8, 1848 "William Argo and Anna Mary his wife to Ann Winfield and Elizabeth Watson the East half of lot #2 in Frees Addition, Mansfield. Anna Mary signed with her mark.
