16801 NOTE 1./ In a Class of its Own : The AVRO Arrow

(Chapter 12 of The Fight for Canada: Four Centuries of
Resistance to American Expansionism, by David Orchard.)

Canada's ongoing struggle for its own economy was graphically demonstrated by
an episode in the aerospace industry. It involved an airplane, a jet interceptor, that could fly twice the speed of sound and was called the Arrow.

Until 1940, Canada had looked to Britain for its military supplies. With the declaration of war in 1939, Britain urgently needed a source of supply herself. C.D. Howe, an American­born engineer and businessman, was made minister of munitions and supply in the King government and given the job of organizing Canada's war industry. He recruited one thousand businessmen ­ "Howe's boys" ­ from across the country, set up twenty­eight Crown corporations and achieved dramatic results. Canada's gross national product ­ the total value of goods and services produced by the nation ­ jumped astoundingly, from $5 billion in 1939 to $12 billion in 1943, and Canada climbed to fourth among the Allies in industrial production. By the end of 1944, Canadian shipyards had turned out almost 600 ships; some 45 aircraft companies, running 24 hours a day and employing 80,000 workers, had produced 16,000 aircraft. Declared Howe: " Never again will there be any doubt that Canada can manufacture anything that can be manufactured elsewhere." 1

Sir Roy Dobson of Hawker­Siddeley Aircraft, developer of 180 aircraft projects in England, came to Canada and was impressed by what he found. "It opened my eyes, I'll tell you," he said. "If these so­and­so's can do this during a war, what can't they do after. One thing this country would need is an aircraft industry of its own: design and development, not just assembling somebody else's stuff." Later he explained:

"I saw a great country full of natural resources, all kinds of metals, all kinds of minerals and oil, all kinds of capacity for growing wheat and other kinds of food, and yet it seemed to me... lacking in the finer engineering developments... in things like aircraft, aircraft engines and so on. And I couldn't imagine... a nation with this sort of potential carrying on without demanding ­ not just asking, or thinking about it, but demanding ­ its own aircraft, its own aircraft industry, its own engine industry and indeed a lot of other industries too... So I said, 'All right. That's my field. I'm going to have a go at it." 2

By 1945, the Royal Canadian Air force was the third largest in the world in terms of men and equipment. Robert Leckie, chief of air staff, had for years had fought for an independent Canadian air force, with aircraft designed in Canada and built to suit Canadian needs. At the close of the war, Roy Dobson and C.D. Howe struck a deal, and A.V. Roe (AVRO) Canada was set up in the Victory Aircraft plant outside of Toronto "to give Canada," as Dobson told the press, "a basic industry which, in our opinion, she badly needs. Canada will become the aircraft production center of the British Empire within ten years."3 Hamilton native Fred Smye, aircraft production director at Victory, became the first employee and a driving force behind AVRO future success.

March 17, 1949, saw the test run of the first Canadian jet engine, the AVRO Chinook. In August, the AVRO Jetliner, the first North American commercial jet aircraft and second in the world, made its maiden flight, fourteen days after the British Comet had lifted briefly a few feet off the ground in England. In April 1950, eight years before the first American commercial jet airplane took flight, the AVRO Jetliner carried the world's first jet airmail, from Toronto to New York, where its crew was welcomed with a ticker tape parade through the streets of Manhattan. The trip was made in half the flight time of a conventional airplane.

AVRO then designed and produced the Orenda jet engine, named after the god of the Iroquois. Developed by a small group of about forty young Canadian engineers, the Orenda was one of the most successful turbojet engines ever built. By 1954, more than one thousand had been delivered to the Canadian air force.

AVRO went on to design and build the highest­rated all­weather, long­range fighter in NATO, the CF (Canadian Fighter) 100. The first of hundreds of Orenda­powered aircraft was delivered to the RCAF in October, 1951. By 1958, the Canadian content in the CF 100 was 90 percent, and in its Orenda engines 95 percent. AVRO, following a buy­Canadian policy, established a network of Canadian suppliers and sub­contractors, which created a beehive of development activity in nearly every other Canadian industry. By now, A.V. Roe was the third­largest company in Canada, employing 50,000 people in all divisions and carrying out 70 percent of all research in Canada.

October 4, 1957, saw the official roll­out of the first AVRO Arrow ­ a supersonic jet fighter designed and built in four short years. With the Arrow, AVRO had created a brilliant aviation industry that drew to Canada international specialists at the top of their fields. After the unveiling, Aviation Week reported: "AVRO CF­105 Arrow has given Canada a serious contender for the top military aircraft of the next several years. The large, decidedly advanced delta­wing fighter was rolled out of the Malton plant a few days ago... The Arrow's power, weight and general design leave little doubt of its performance potential."Flight, another international aviation magazine, called the Arrow "the biggest, most powerful, most expensive and potentially the fastest fighter that the world has yet seen." 4

On March 25, 1958, the AVRO Arrow Mark I ­ a "great, sleek, white bird," to one observer ­ lifted gracefully from the runway and was airborne for the first time.5 The most advanced aircraft in the world, it exceeded all expectations. At three­quarter throttle, the Arrow flew at nearly twice the speed of sound ­ faster than the most advanced plane in the Canadian Air Force three decades later, the American F­18.

The world speed record in 1958 was 1404 mph. The first five Arrows, fitted with temporary, less powerful engines, flew at 1320 mph. Into the sixth Arrow was installed the most advanced and the most powerful engine in the world, the brand new Iroquois, Canadian designed and built from scratch. On February 19, 1959, the AVRO Arrow Mark II, fitted with Iroquois engines, was on the tarmac, being prepared for the test flight expected easily to break the world speed record. Behind it, another thirty­one Mark IIs, Iroquois equipped, were ready to roll down the assembly line.

At the sprawling 400­acre AVRO plant just outside Toronto, almost everybody felt good about their work. They saw themselves as contributing to Canada. Absenteeism was low and lateness was rare. The atmosphere was described by one aviation writer as touched by magic: "They were so proud of that airplane, and of the inescapable fact that they were producing something that was the best in the whole bloody world. You could sense it the minute you walked in the place." Joe Morley, the sales and service manager, explained: "We were all possessed with one ideal ­ the Arrow. No one, even in junior management, ever punched a time clock; it would have been as much overtime as straight time." 6 The design and development people were top notch, as were the engineers. The Arrow "was in a class of its own and at least twenty, if not thirty, years ahead of its time in terms of design philosophy, materials, and manufacturing technique!" 7

Yet all was not as well as it seemed. A peculiar thing had happened back in 1950: C.D. Howe had ordered production of the AVRO Jetliner stopped after the first aircraft was completed. One of the outstanding aeronautical achievements of its day, the one and only Jetliner broke records with every flight. Robert Rummell, chief engineer for Trans World Airlines in the United States, described the pioneer plane: "The Jetliner, the first jet transport produced in North America, was an advanced, medium­range, 450 ­mph plane that first flew an amazing eight years before Boeing's 707. This extraordinary achievement is all the more remarkable considering that it was the first product of a new company in a country not dominant in the development or construction of aircraft. The design, developed by A.V. Roe Canada (AVRO), was conspicuously ahead of any competitive transport." 8

Then, one Saturday, early in February 1957, after eight years of flying, the Jetliner came in for a routine check. The following Monday morning, the staff found the craft cut in two. It was sold for scrap. In 1959, Fred Smye, at the time the president and general manager of AVRO Aircraft, said:"It had exceeded every specification and if it had gone ahead would be selling around the world today." 9 A few days after the Jetliner was destroyed, the Saturday Evening Post of February 16, 1957, carried a two­page centerfold advertisement of the new Boeing "Jetliner," the 707, proudly describing it as "America's first Jetliner, the only American jet airliner flying today." 10

Now, on the morning of February 20, 1959, at 9.30, Prime Minister John Diefenbaker was in the House of Commons to deliver a statement on "one facet of the national defence" of Canada. "The government of Canada," he went on, "has carefully examined and re­examined the probable need for the Arrow aircraft and Iroquois engine known as the CF­105... The conclusion arrived at is that the development of the [Arrow] aircraft and Iroquois engine should be terminated now." 11

The shocked employees heard the news first from a reporter. A telegram from Ottawa ordered AVRO to "cease and desist as of receipt of this telex on all government contracts and acknowledge that you are so proceeding." And over the public address system, 14,528 employees were told their services would no longer be needed. They were laid off immediately. Ordered by Raymond O'Hurley, minister of defence production, to "cut up the Arrow and destroy... all material associated with it," Smye refused. O'Hurley replied: "If you don't do it, we'll send the army in to do it." 12 Teams of men with cutting torches came into the factories and cut the completed Arrows into scrap. The blow torches didn't stop until the "obscene destruction of millions of dollars worth of finished and almost­finished planes, of tools, jigs, fixtures and masses of expensive production and test equipment" was complete.13 Some of the employees who had built the aircraft were seen to "stand and cry as grown men seldom cry" as they watched the torches "melt down and cut to pieces the magnificent airplanes which they had spent seven years of their lives designing, creating and building."14 Operating manuals, blue­prints, records, drawings and thick volumes of specifications data were collected and destroyed.

The mutilated scraps of the most advanced engine and airplane in the world were delivered under tight security to a Toronto scrap yard, along with the tools that produced them. Afterwards, a government official said tersely, referring to the Arrow: " Forget it! It never existed. Get that into your heads."15

Some 650 major sub­contracts were cancelled. The Arrow's demise affected the livelihood of nearly 100,000 Canadians and the fate of dozens of industries. Some historians, commentators and government members, using wildly distorted figures, have cited high production costs as one reason for the Arrow's cancellation. The total spent on the Iroquois engine and development of the Arrow, including the finished aircraft, was approximately $300 million. Another $200 million would have been required to complete them after which each Arrow would have cost the government $3.7 million, roughly the price of a contemporary, less sophisticated U.S. plane. And the money, technology, jobs and talent would have remained in Canada. (The Financial Post estimated that at least 65 percent of the total cost of the Arrow programme came back directly to the government in taxes.) The Arrow, in the words of Edith Kay Shaw, an aviation­engineering technologist who worked on the AVRO Jetliner, the CF­100 and the Arrow, "represented one of the greatest bargains in aircraft ever offered," to say nothing of the tens of thousands of jobs created and dozens of domestic spin­off industries in everything from plastic to design.16

Why was the Arrow cancelled? The official reason given by the government was that the missile age had dawned and manned jet fighter aircraft, including the Arrow, had become obsolete. Accordingly, the new American missile system, called the Bomarc missile system, was to be purchased, and because Canada could not afford both the Arrow and the Bomarc, the Arrow had to go. Behind­the­scenes pressure from the United States for Canada to buy the Bomarc ­ a system that was untried, unproven and would eventually prove useless ­ was direct and effective. In a meeting between the Canadian defence minister, George Pearkes, and the U.S. secretary of state for defence, Neil McElroy, the Canadian government asked what would happen if Canada refused to buy the Bomarc. The Canadians were told that "the consequence would be... the emplacement of at least one more Bomarc Squadron in the U.S., south of the Great Lakes."17 Because the Bomarc had a limited range of 250 miles, this would mean, in the advent of war against incoming Soviet missiles from the north, the certainty of nuclear holocaust above Canada's most densely populated regions. Consequently, the Canadian government decided to purchase the Bomarc, put them further north in Canada, and terminate the Arrow.

Within two months of the Arrow's cancellation, Canadians were told that fighter aircraft to intercept Soviet bombers were still necessary after all. Ten months later, General Lawrence Kuter of the United States, Commander­in­chief of the North American Air Defence agreement (NORAD), requested that Canada equip itself with supersonic fighters such as the American F­101B. In 1961, Canada purchased sixty­six of these dated aircraft ­ in no way comparable to the Arrow ­ from the United States. Two decades later Canada would spend roughly $5 billion ($30 million per plane) purchasing the American F­18A, an aircraft still inferior to the Arrow.

As for the Bomarc missile system, admitted by the Americans themselves to be entirely for the the defence of the American Strategic Air Command and not for Canada, it turned out to be an expensive dud which became obsolete before it was installed.
A significant but little known fact is that the Arrow was the only aircraft in the world capable of downing the new, top secret U­2 spy plane developed by the CIA, which in the late 1950s was overflying countries around the globe. The U­2 flew at an altitude of 70,000 feet, unreachable by any existing interceptor but well within the Arrow's range. In 1960, Defence Minister Pearkes admitted the U­2 was overflying Canada and that without interceptor aircraft, Canada was powerless to police its own skies against such an intruder.

Judith Robinson of the Toronto Telegram, February 10, 1959, wrote that Canada's role from the point of view of U.S. defence planners was to "provide for the defence of the United States three things: a narrow margin of time, distant early warning signals, and rocket bases. Just those three things. Manned supersonic fighters based in Canada have no place in U.S. defence plans."18

The New York Times carried a report, stating "Canada has had the dubious privilege of being first in learning the economic and political implications of U.S. domination in weapons... the result is... no real defence... a disappearing Canadian Air Force and aircraft industry; and a fearfully ill­equipped Army. Why? Because... [Canada has] conformed to U.S. concepts, doctrines and weapons."19

In 1717, the manufacturing of beaver hats was begun in Montreal. Four finished hats were turned out every day. Then came the order directly from the King of France to kill the industry. There was to be no competition from the colony for French hat makers. Colonies "are established solely for the utility of the country that forms them," Louis XIV said.20 Two and a half centuries later, instead of from Versailles, the pressure came from Washington.

The AVRO Jetliner was destroyed to allow the Americans to introduce their Boeing Jetliner, eight years after the Canadian Jetliner had first flown. Just as the Mark II was about to fly, and in all likelihood bring the world's speed record to Canada, thirty­seven supersonic aircraft were scrapped. To make sure no new aircraft would rise from the cuttings of the blow torches, a free­trade agreement in defence supplies, the Canada­U.S. Defence Production Sharing Agreement of 1959, was signed. That agreement integrated the defence industries of the two countries. Canada agreed to rely on the United States for defense technology, and has never again tried to be self­reliant in the aerospace and defense industries. Instead of producing its own aircraft, Canadian industry was reoriented to produce parts for U.S. contractors. In 1958, within three months of the Arrow's cancellation, Canada joined NORAD, which integrated the air defence of the two countries under a "joint" command head quartered in Colorado. In the future, Defence Minister Pearkes said, the United States would supply jet interceptors defence if Canada should require it. The operation of these two agreements ensured that Canada would never again create and produce high­tech aircraft. The very country that has invaded Canada repeatedly, and has been by far its most dangerous and sustained threat over the centuries, now "looks after" Canada's defence.

Canada went on to spend billions of dollars on civilian and military aircraft from American firms, aircraft less suited to its needs and climate. The "Canadian" defence industry today consists mainly of subsidiaries of American corporations. These subsidiary firms are encouraged to station scouts in the United States to catch word of pending U.S. contracts. They can then make a bid to produce U.S. weapons.

With the cancellation of the Arrow thousands of the highly skilled engineers, designers and aerospace workers, some gathered with great difficulty from all over the world, who for ten years had refused repeated offers from U.S. firms to leave Canada, were thrown out of work and now had little choice. Twenty­six of AVRO's top engineers, including Jim Chamberlin from British Columbia, AVRO 's chief of design, were sent by the Canadian government to NASA, where their skills played a crucial role in landing an American on the moon. Chamberlin was later described by NASA management as "probably one of the most brilliant men ever to work with NASA."21 Highly skilled AVRO 's engineers made their contributions in almost all fields of aviation and technology throughout the Western world, not only with NASA but also with Boeing of Seattle, RCA in Massachusetts, Hawker­Siddeley of England, Fokker of Holland, and the European Space Agency.

With an eight­year lead on the United States in civilian jetliner technology and the AVRO 's Arrow, the Canadian aerospace industry could have taken on the best in the world. It would also have been competition for U.S. corporations. Instead, AVRO 's scrambled for whatever business it could find, at one point landing a contract to produce pots and pans. In 1962, AVRO 's sold what remained of its gutted operations to de Havilland, leaving a wealth of concepts, ideas and designs that, over the next three decades, were used by leading British and American firms. And the myth began to be fostered that Canada did not have the skills, capabilities or resources to build world­class industries on its own.

Polish born Janusz Zurakowski, the decorated fighter pilot who test flew the Arrow, wrote: "Canada, by creating its own industry, could have satisfied most defence requirements ­ but not the American industrialists who wanted the market." He added: "Governments and torches can destroy an aircraft, but they cannot destroy hope, and aspiration... In the hearts of the people, the dream lives on."22

If the Jetliner and Arrow had gone ahead, they, like the CF­100, would have been purchased by other countries. American industrialist Howard Hughes was interested in producing the Jetliner in the United States, and several American companies wished to order the aircraft from AVRO 's. An American company had signed a contract with AVRO 's to produce the Iroquois under license ­ the first contract of its kind signed by the United States with a Canadian company. France had approached AVRO about purchasing 300 Iroquois engines for use in its Mirage jet fighter. Both the United States and Britain were interested in the Arrow because they had nothing comparable.

The technology, the research and the talent, as well as the money since spent on foreign aircraft, both military and commercial, would have remained in Canada. A dynamic aerospace industry would have established itself as one of the major engines driving Canada's economy. Equally significant, Canada would have had the capability to patrol and defend its own borders and airspace against incursion by all intruders. If the Arrow had flown with Iroquois engines, it almost certainly would have broken world records for both speed and altitude. Had the Canadian public seen that happen, cancellation of the Arrow would have been impossible. That is why the blowtorches came in before the Mark IIs could lift off the ground.

The Arrow was not cancelled because it was costly or obsolete or defective. It was, in the words of electronics engineer and Arrow researcher, Palmiro Campagna, "erased from existence, because it was too damn good!"23

NOTE 4./ There is a book by Greig Stewart, "Shutting Down the National Dream", that makes 12 references to Jack Millie's involvement with the CF 105. Your Uncle Jack was, in the beginning, a large part of the seed ideas for the then unnamed, Avro Arrow.
This is one excerpt from the aforementioned book.
"There was myself and a couple of Draftsmen. We had one guy looking after stress, another looking after aerodynamics, and I was trying to tie it all together, that is, getting down on paper something the other guys could work with and something we could submit to the Government as a proposal. We were not working on any response to any Operational requirement for the RCAF. We heard somewhere the air force wanted an airplane and we were trying to come up with something." -------- Jack Millie
As the aircraft evolved, my Dad had a diminished role with the additional specialist personnel brought on board at Avro, and in the final version was mainly responsible for the jet engines being mounted on the fuselage vs attached to the wing of the CF105, Avro Arrow. During this time period, Jack would bring home all kinds of presents at Christmas from benefactors, albeit unknown to me, all of course related to aviation.

16802 NOTE 1./ Margaret CUNNINGHAM

EVENT: BETWEEN 1793 AND 1797, Augusta, VA
"In September 1793, Mrs. Mathews, her two step-daughters, and a step-son, came to Staunton on a visit. One of the daughters was Mrs. Ann Blackburn. While passing through Botetourt County, one of Mrs.
Mathews' ribs was broken by a jolt. For many weeks she was laid up at the house of her sister, Mrs. Smith, in Augusta. When able to travel she went to the house of her niece, Mrs. Waterman, in Harrisonburg, mainly to receive the attention from Dr. Waterman as a physician, and there she was confined to her bed for several months. During all this time no letter passed between her and her husband, although he had written to various friends in Augusta. He had assumed control of all her property, collecting rents through his agent, Major Grattan, a merchant in Staunton. He, however, instructed Major Grattan to supply his wife with whatever necessities she might need.

"The long silence between the husband and wife was broken by a notice served on her that he intended to apply to the legislature of Georgia for an Act of divorce. Then the letters between Staunton. Whether
any charge other than desertion was preferred, is not stated in any of the letters or papers on file. The General required her to return, acknowledge her error, and perform her duties as his wife; and
thereupon, he would not Press his application for divorce. She charged him with cruelty, and was not willing to trust her life in his hands. He subscribed himself, "Your persecuted husband," and she
styled herself "Your afflicted wife." He reminded her of her marriage vow and the love she professed for him the night he escorted her "from the ball at the courthouse;" and over and over protested his innocence of any wrong. He charged that she, while living in Georgia, had poisoned the minds of his servants, so that he was afraid to take food from their hands. She intimated that he wished to get rid of her in order to marry another woman.

"Mrs. Mathews employed John Coalter, afterwards the Judge, as her Counsel. By his advice, she applied to Major Grattan for money to defend herself, but he was not authorized to furnish her money "to
prosecute a suit against her husband," and refused her request. By the benevolence of friends, she procured the means to send Mr. Coalter to Georgia to protect her interests. He had interviews with General Mathews, who refused to appoint any time for bringing the matter before the Legislature. Thereupon, Mr. Coalter petitioned the Legislature, as a Court having jurisdiction, to require the General to furnish alimony to his wife, An Act divorcing the couple was passed by the Georgia Legislature February 13, 1797. At one time, Mrs. Blackburn called on her stepmother, in Staunton, and by her father's direction demanded and received a pair of silver spoons and a breastpin Mrs. Mathews had brought from Georgia. She complained that his children had not treated her with respect, and he, that she had neglected the children...., General Blackburn was sent in a carriage to escort Mrs. Mathews to Georgia, but she refused to go..... In one of his letters, General Mathews wrote that she knew why he could not come to Virginia, implying a physical disability.

"Finally, Mrs. Mathews brought suit in the County Court of Augusta to obtain possession of her estate, and from papers filed in the case, (Mathews vs. Mathews) we have obtained most of the foregoing facts.
The depositions of many witnesses were taken, chiefly to show that Mrs. Mathews could not have
returned to Georgia, on account of the condition of her health. Among the witnesses was Mrs. Ann Nelson, a daughter of Sampson Mathews, and niece of General Mathews, who testified that she had heard her cousin, Ann Blackburn, declare that her stepmother was "capable of any wickedness." On the other hand, a paper was filed, signed by thirty persons, including all the Presbyterian ministers in the county, testifying that Mrs. Mathews was, and always had been, eminently respectable..... It would seem
that General Mathews did not defend the suit."

16803 NOTE 1./ Marriage 1771: (Age 16) Mary Miller <>

This quite possibly was an arranged marriage, which was still common practice in this time with prominent families. Dr. William Houston's uncle was Henry McCulloch. Margaret McCulloch Miller ?(Mary miller's mother)? was probably a sister or daughter to Henry. Mary Miller would have been a 3rd cousin to Edward. The only daughter of Dr. William Houston married Henry McCulloch probably a son or grandson of his Uncle. Further research is necessary to prove this speculation.

16807 NOTE 1./ Per Bob Millie : During a summer visit with my family to Vivian nee Wilkes Gray, cottage in Grand Bend, on Lake Huron, Thomas Jr. Lizmore and his wife Marietta pulled up to the beach in a huge Cabin Cruiser. He took all those of us who were so inclined, for the hour long ride, into the Bend, for food and supplies and returned us, for a big ole family cookout on the beach. It was a great day, and a wonderful memory. He was a Mason, and just to show you how small the world is, Tom and his wife Marietta, had friends in Cordele Georgia, where I opened a new restaurant. In fact it is where I have my franchised restaurant today. They stopped and visited me a couple of times in the restaurant in Cordele, and during the course of a conversation asked me if I wanted to become a mason !!!!!! I replied that I was interested, but I believe he fell ill shortly after that, which was the last time I ever saw him.

Zack Lewis was married to Mary Jane Moncrief, and later, to Sarah Anne, her younger sister. Zack and Sarah Anne had nine children: Soloman (Sol), Nancy Childers, Jackson (Jack), Rufus (Ruf), Edna Bagwell, Ella Mae (Dolly), Annie Posey, Isabelle (Issie) Stevens, and Bessie Eaves.
Lucius and Nancy Childers lived on Zack Lewis's place and farmed from 1894 until they moved to Crisp County in December of 1912. They and their 7 children moved on a wagon with a cow and calf tied behind it. The trip took three days and 2 nights. Their children played along the way, walking part of the time to rest from riding in the jolting wagon which was loaded with all their possessions. The older boys rode along the side and helped drive the wagon. The nights were spent under and around the wagon with a camp fire providing warmth and protection. The second night, they stayed at Dooly County Camp Grounds. The third day, they arrived in Crisp County about sundown at Sol Lewis's Nancy's older brother's home. This farm is still intact today about 10 miles south of Cordele on Hwy. 33 and remains in the Lewis family. Sol and Ellen Lewis's daughter, Josie (Lewis) Sego, live there in the old home.

16812 NOTE 1./ THE SURNAME MILLIE

The research of the Millie Surname for my ancestors stops with Robert R. Millie. His name was obtained from the Ontario Marriage Registration of Henry Thomas Beale Millie and Grace Edith Melmer. The lost ancestors seem to be in the maze of Ireland's sons. ADDENDUM 10-12-02 : On the Marriage Registration of Henrietta Amelia Millie and Robert Scott, the parents are listed, showing that the individual previously known only as Robert R. Millie, was in fact Robert Rumgay Millie. This consequently opened the door to our Millie roots leading back from Ireland to that of Scottish origins. The single generation spent in Ireland, explains the uncommomality of the surname within her confines. Scotland however has many Rumgays, and several clans of Millies that may never be connected, in several different parishes, but to a high degree in Fife, and around central Scotland. There are several indications that our Millie surname or a derivative spelling, will lead back to France at about the time of the Hugenot Revolution.

The surname Millie is a derivative of several different spellings. Millicent, Millier, Millay, Milly, de Milly, d'Milly, Milia, Mealy and others. Andrew J. Millie of NSW Australia, has done extensive research on the relationships of these variants. An example of his findings follows: ....... " de MILLY and MILCENT are definitely 100% guaranteed to be the same families. A lot of Nobility dropped their noble surnames during the Wars of Religion and were known by different names. de Milly/Milcent is just one example of this" ..........

The derivatives surnames of Millie has it's origins in France and the family was Huguenot, '...a name given to the French Calvinist Protestants of the 16th and 17th centuries...largely inspired by Martin Luther...During the 17th century the Huguenots saw their power and privileges progressively undermined by the strongly Catholic kings Louis XIII and Louis XIV...In 1685 the Edict of Nantes was revoked, and thousands of Protestants chose to migrate from France rather than accept Catholicism.' Many, fled to England and Scotland.

NOTE 2./ FIFE, SCOTLAND : FIFE in The 1830's

POPULATION.
In 1755, the population was 2540
1793 2320
1811 2407
1821 2840
1831 2762
Number of families in the parish, 606
chiefly employed in agriculture 183
trade, manufactures, or handicraft 281

Since 1831, there has been a great increase in the number of the people ; and, from the accounts of their establishments, which were lately given in by the several manufacturers in the parish, we are authorized to say, that the population must now be about 3000 at least. In 1793, 138 looms are said to have been employed in the parish. From 700 to 900 of the inhabitants are now employed in weaving and winding. From 170 to 200 are employed regularly in the mills; and, with the exception of about 30, who are employed in the lime-works, the greater part which remains of the working population is agricultural. The town of Cupar is so near to Ceres, that there are few shopkeepers or venders of any commodities in the latter place.

CHARACTER and HABITS of the PEOPLE:.-The people are universally industrious, and in general they cultivate the sister virtues of temperance and frugality. Considerable attention to neatness and cleanliness also may be discovered among them. Dr Arnot, author of the former account, mentions, that among the women, the cloak and bonnet had become substitutes for the plaid; and among the men, that the bonnet was supplanted by the hat. It is singular enough, that the plaid and bonnet should now be both regaining their former estimation. There exists also among the people a considerable deal of information, and a general desire for knowledge. A subscription and circulating library was commenced by them in 1828. It consists now of 500 volumes, in which there is varied as well as much useful reading. There are 100 subscribers to this library.
During the last three years, there were 3 illegitimate births in the parish.

MANUFACTURES:-Since the date of the last Statistical Account three spinning mills have been built in the parish, and a bleachfield establishment has been erected at Duraden. In 1827, two mills were built on the grounds of Easter Pitscottie. The machinery is propelled partly by water, and partly by steam. The steam, in general, is only required in summer, occasionally when the water is light. The mills belong to Messrs William and James Yool, manufacturers, Ceres.
There is accommodation for the families of the workers in the buildings at these mills ; and they contain altogether upwards of 150 individuals. There is a teacher and a small library attached to the mills. The other spinning-mill, which belongs to Mr David Yool, was erected at Tarvit in 1799. The machinery at this mill goes partly by water, and partly by steam; and the power is applied also to the turning of a saw-mill. The three spinning-mills are occupied in preparing and spinning flax, tow, and yarns. The raw material is obtained from Dundee and the yarns are sent partly to the Dundee market, and partly to manufacturers in Fife. 150 men, women, and young people are employed. The bleachfield establishment was erected in 1825 by some manufacturers in Ceres. It has received the name of St Ann's Bleaching Company, from a well of that name in the vicinity. The number of hands employed varies from 35 to 40. The supply of brown raw material for it, is chiefly obtained from the mills already mentioned. Previous to the erection of this bleachfield, little was manufactured by the weavers in Ceres except " Brown Silesias;" now the yarns are all cleaned and bleached, and the people are employed in weaving dowlas and sheeting. From 700 to 900 are engaged in this employment ; and from L. 50,000 to L. 60,000 Sterling worth of dowlas and sheeting are annually manufactured in the parish. To any one who reads this statement of the manufacture, it will be evident that the various works are most profitably arranged. The mills supply the bleacbfield, and the bleachfield supplies the weavers : and while there is a saving in this manner, as to the carriage of the various articles, there is also an encouragement to the manufacture of the place. There is every likelihood that the manufacture of this flourishing place will, in a few years, become more extended ; and there are, at present, some proposals of erecting another mill on a very extensive plan..

PAROCHIAL ECONOMY
MARKETS;- There is a weekly market in Cupar, the county town, distant only two miles and a half. But this widely extended parish has an easy access to markets in several places . and some of the farmers find it convenient to send their produce to Largo, some to St Andrews, and a very few to Dundee. There are two annual markets or fairs held in the village of Ceres, one on the 24th June, and the other on the 20th day of October; and both of them are most numerously resorted to, as excellent wool, and corn, and horse, and cattle-markets.

MEANS OF COMMUNICATION;-A turnpike road runs from east to west through the whole length of the parish. There is also a road which runs from north to south, through the breadth of the parish. In summer, a daily-coach runs through Ceres, and joins the steamboat which leaves Largo for Edinburgh. A messenger, paid by the inhabitants of Ceres, carries letters or papers daily to Cupar, the post-town. There are regular carriers from Ceres to all the neighbouring towns.

ECCLESIASTICAL STATE:- Ceres parish is a rectory, which, before the Reformation, belonged to the Provostry of Kirkhheugh, a religious house at St Andrews. A considerable part of the east end of the parish formerly belonged to the parish of St Andrews, and about the year 1620, was annexed to Ceres, quoad sacra tantum, (as it was long thought;) but the present incumbent discovered that there was no such reservation, and it is now annexed, quoad sacra et civilia. Ceres originally belonged to St Andrews presbytery. In the old church of Ceres, there was an aisle on the south, which belonged to the family of Craighall, and which, before the Reformation, was a chapel dedicated to St Ninian. The schoolmaster of Ceres uniformly receives a presentation to the Chaplainry. There used to be a salary of L. 3 Scots paid to him; but the houses in Cupar from which this salary was paid cannot now be discovered. The present church was built in 1806. It stands on a height, where formerly stood the old church and chapel : it was situated on the outskirts of the old town, but since the new town or Bridge-end was built, it may be said to be in the centre of the village. It is seated for 1100, but actually holds 1300, and the seats are very advantageously disposed both for bearers and speaker. These seats all belong to the heritors of the parish, and there is no rent charged for the use of them. Seats are appropriated for the proprietors and farmers, and the remainder are free and open to the people, and, except on very bad days, they are well filled. There are two meetings in the church, winter and summer. The average number of communicants is 1000. The right of patronage, by a grant from the Crown, was vested in the Crawford family.
There are also two meeting-houses in the village of Ceres, one for the Associate Congregation of Antiburgher Seceders, which was built in 1744, the other for the Presbytery of Relief. To each of these are attached a settled clergyman and regular congregation. A brotherly feeling and Christian spirit pervades the greater number of the members of these three congregations and you will occasionally find them in each others place of worship.
There are about 86 families in this parish attached to the Relief Church, and about the same number to the Secession.

NOTE 3./ HISTORICAL reference: The Year Was 1829

The year was 1829, and in Scotland, there was a catastrophic flood. According to a paper online at the website of Fettes College, Edinburgh, Scotland, the Muckle Spate (large flood) of 1829, began on August 3, 1829 in northeast Scotland and was "the most severe catastrophic flood in modern UK history." It extended across a large area of Scotland, from Inverness to Montrose, and devastated homes and agriculture in the affected areas. The Edinburgh Advertiser from August 11, 1829 provides detailed coverage of some of the affected areas, including the excerpt below:

The Dee was first observed to increase about four o'clock on Monday afternoon, and it continued to rise until about eleven o'clock on Tuesday forenoon, when it remained stationary for a few hours; after which, it began to recede with considerable rapidity. In some places, it attained an elevation of eleven feet above its ordinary level. . . The low grounds in the vicinity of the river were completely inundated, and so great, in some parts of its course, was the space over which it extended, that it presented the appearance rather of a lake than a river. . . Vast quantities of hay, straw, timber, &c. have been swept away; and so great was the force of the torrent, that many fields were stript of their soil, and covered with sand and stones. A good many cattle and sheep may have been drowned; but as it is customary, in the upper parts of the country to leave numerous flocks scattered over the hills, it will be impossible, for some time to ascertain with accuracy the numbers that have perished. Fortunately, notwithstanding the imminent to which many people were exposed from the suddenness of the inundation, no loss of human life has arisen from the overflowing of the Dee. Several cottages have, at Ballaster and other places, been carried away; and so completely were others surrounded with water, that a stranger could scarce have told on which side of the river they stood. A good many people were rescued, by means of boats, from being drowned in their own houses, and were obliged to resign their furniture, &c. to destruction. With the exception of the bridge near Aberdeen, and that at Potarch, all the bridges over the Dee have either been swept away, or sustained more or less injury. . . .

NOTE 2./ Revolutionary Soldiers in Alabama, by Thomas Owens <>

CHANCELLOR, JEREMIAH. "This soldier of the Revolution is buried in a country churchyard at Pine Level Methodist church, in Autauga County, eighteen miles west of Montgomery.

"A short sketch of the life of Jeremiah Chancellor may be found in the Memorial Record of Alabama, vol. ii., p. 895. He was born in England and came to America with his father and two brothers, when sixteen years of age. This was during the Revolutionary War. After remaining a short time in Virginia, the father and his two oldest sons, William and Jeremiah, came to South Carolina, leaving the youngest son, Jackson Chancellor, in Virginia. Tradition says that Chancellorsville, Virginia, was named for the family of this youngest son.

"When the Chancellors arrived in South Carolina they found the war raging violently all around them and it became necessary for them to decide what their own course should he. The father, whose loyalty to England could not be shaken, told his sons that he should join the British; the sons declared that they admired the Americans for standing up for their rights and they intended to cast their lots with the people of their adopted country. The father and sons never met again, but fought on opposite sides until the close of the Revolutionary War. We do not know in what regiment Jeremiah Chancellor served, but Saffell's Records, p. 293, states that Nov. 1, 1779, William Chancellor was a private in the South Carolina regiment commanded by Lieut. Col. Francis Marion, Seventh Company, Thomas Dunbar, captain.

"Jeremiah Chancellor married Galatea Gilbert and settled in South Carolina after the Revolution, where he remained until 1818, when he organized a colony in South Carolina and came with them to Alabama. They settled on the Autauga side of the Alabama River. He remained with this colony until his death. Descendants of Jerry Chancellor are now living in Childersburg and in Coosa County. His grandson, William S. Chancellor was one of the oldest Masons in Alabama.---- Mrs. P. H. Mell in Transactions of the Alabama Historical Society, Vol . iv ., P . 535.

CHELMSFORD, WITH THE VILLAGES OF BOREHAM, BROOMFIELD, SPRINGFIELD, GREAT AND LITTLE WALTHAM, WIDFORD AND NEIGHBOURHOODS

CHELMSFORD, the county town of Essex, is one of high respectability; and its neighbourhood abounds with wealthy and genteel families. It is 29 miles from the Metropolis, 22 from Colchester, and 10 from Maldon; situated in a beautiful valley, between the Chelmer and the Can, to which rivers the gardens on each side of the town extend. The country surrounding Chelmsford is pleasant and fertile; the soil consists principally of a deep rich loam, intermixed with veins of gravel. Maurice, Bishop of London, first made Chelmsford a place of importance, in 1100, by building a bridge of three arches over the river Can; the present is an elegant stone bridge, of one arch, erected several years since in its stead. The government of the town is confided to two resident magistrates, and several constables. Lady Mildmay is the owner of the manor, who holds courts baron and leet annually. The assizes for the county take place in Lent, July and December - the latter for the delivery of the gaol only: there is also a county court for the recovery of debts under 40s.; and petty sessions held weekly on Tuesdays and Fridays, besides others held quarterly, for petty offences. The legal town's business, as well as that of the election of representatives in parliament, take place in the town hall, which is a neat building of white stone, with a rusticated basement, and ornamented with handsome columns supporting a pediment; assembly rooms, and other convenient offices, are also within the walls of this building. Contiguous to it is a neatly sculptured conduit, supplied by a spring about a quarter of a mile distant, which yields to the town excellent water. A penitentiary is near this town; it is a well constructed edifice and is intended for the reception of prisoners, and to supersede the use of the old gaol. This is not a manufacturing town; but its local trade is well supported by its own inhabitants, and those of the surrounding district. Chelmsford, for its size, may be considered rich in the vehicles for the diffusion of knowledge, there being three well-edited newspapers issued from the press weekly; there is also a philosophical society, of which Dr. Venables is the respected president.

The church is an ancient Gothic structure, dedicated to St. Mary. About twenty-five years since, the body or roof fell in, owing to the ignorance of the workmen, who were digging a vault too near the main pillars; since which it has been repaired and modernized, and additional galleries erected. The parish is a rectory, including Chelmsford and its hamlet Moulsham, held by the Rev Carew Anthony St. John Mildmay, son of Lady Mildmay, the patroness of the living; the Rev. H.L. Majendie is the present curate. The other places of worship are two chapels for independents, one each for baptists, and Wesleyan methodists, and a new large meeting-house for the society of friends. Here is a 'royal free grammar school,' founded by Edward VI., and endowed with land situate in the county; and some almshouses, founded by the Mildmay family. The market day is Friday, which, besides being well supplied with other general articles for consumption, is a large one for corn. Fairs, May 12th and November 12th, for cattle. - By the late government census, the population of Chelmsford, with MOULSHAM hamlet, appears to be as follows: in 1801, 3,775 --in 1811, 4,649 - in 1821, 4,994 - and in 1831, 5,435 inhabitants; being an increase, in 30 years, of 1,660 persons.

William Cooley is proving hard to trace although from his occupation it should be fairly easy. He is shown on two sources as being a Surgeon and on his death certificate is says `gentleman`. (i) In the marriage Licence Allegation of Arnold James Cooley he is described as "lawful father, surgeon" and (ii) on the death certificate of wife Matilda, he is described as Navy Surgeon (deceased).

William Cooley married Matilda Noyse, by Licence, at St Clement Danes, Westminster, Middlesex. The Vicar`s Licence Allegation states that William was 23 years "and upward" in 1796, Matilda was 21 years "and upwards" of the Parish of St Ann, Westminster. The marriage was witnessed by Hannah Burton & M.Walsh.

William Cooley is shown on the 1841 census for Russell Street, St Sidwell, Exeter, aged 70, gentleman of independent means living with Wm Tancock. Also included is Matilda Cooley aged 66 also of independent means. All Navy sources have been checked but no record of William as a Surgeon. Suggest checking Merchant Navy.

I have a copy of William Cooley`s Will proved in London 21st December 1843 in which he names his wife Matilda Cooley his Executrix and makes her sole beneficiary of the residue of his estate, namely funds from various financial institutions and insurances. Also bequests to daughter Matilda Melma (sic.) - no mention of Arnold James Cooley in the Will or any other children.

William`s death was registered by Martha Lee of Russell St., St Sidwell, present at the death. It was also Martha Lee who appeared personally to prove William Cooley`s Will in 1843. She can be found living at Russell St., St Sidwell, in 1841 - so signs of a spouse named in the Will as James Lee.

NOTE 2./ E-mail Marriage Emma & Daniel : Date: 10/9/2008 9:49:31 P.M. ; From: holt75@wmtel.net

Bob, I do think these would be parents to my Dad’s grandmother (Sarah Carolyn Millie) who raised him when his mother Emma died so young. Am I right, do I have the lineage correct?? My dad’s mother died when he was 13 years old.

I remember meeting her when I was less than 9 years old, as I remember. She was in a nursing home at that time in Long Beach California. We always called her Gram. She loved my dad and spoiled him terribly. They were super close.

I am so grateful I met her and actually remember it.

American Civil War Battle Summaries

Macon, Ga.,
April 20, 1865.

2nd Cavalry Division, Military Division of Mississippi.

This affair was the last engagement of Wilson's raid through Alabama and Georgia. When within 20 miles of Macon the advance division encountered a Confederate cavalry command of 400 men. By a series of brilliant charges by the 17th Ind. the enemy was driven from behind every barricade where he took refuge and was completely routed, throwing away arms and ammunition in the haste of his flight.

When nine miles out of the city a Confederate flag of truce was met announcing an armistice between Sherman and Johnston, but Col. Robt. H. G. Minty, commanding the advance, refused to honor it and gave it five minutes to get out of the way. The Federals then continued the charge and dashed over the works into the city, which was surrendered by Gen. Howell Cobb.

The results of the capture were 350 commissioned officers, 1,995 enlisted men, 60 pieces of artillery, a large amount of small arms, and all public works.

The casualties were not reported.
