  • Notes 
    • Reference David Thompson e-mail 5-15-02:

      Thomas MILLIE had brothers Robert, John and Andrew. Well, I found a family with all these children:
      MILLIE, John Bir 1791 Scot Fife Ceres
      Fa: Henry Millie
      Mo: Magdalene Rumgay
      MILLIE, Andrew Chr 1793 Scot Fife Ceres
      Fa: Henry Millie
      Mo: Magdaline Rumgay
      MILLIE, David Chr 1794 Scot Fife Ceres
      Fa: Henry Millie
      Mo: Magdaline Rumgay
      MILLIE, Henry Chr 1794 Scot Fife Ceres
      Fa: Henry Millie
      Mo: Magdaline Rumgay
      MILLIE, Thomas Chr 1796 Scot Fife Ceres
      Fa: Henry Millie
      Mo: Magdaline Rumgay
      MILLIE, Robert Chr 1798 Scot Fife Ceres
      Fa: Henry Millie
      Mo: Magdalene Rumgay
      I also found the following who may be an aunt of HH, her father was Thomas, she was in Dublin, and note her first and middle names, the same as Thomas above:
      LATIMER, William
      Wife: Magdalene Rumgay MILLIE
      Marriage Date: 23 Oct 1847 Recorded in: St. Peter, Dublin, Ireland
      Collection: Civil Registration
      Husband's Father: James LATIMER
      Wife's Father: Thomas MILLIE
      Source: FHL Film 101286 Dates: 1847 - 1847
      I still bet that Bob's Henry comes down this line. Likely a couple or all of the brothers went to Ireland together.

      [Seceding families came from all over Central and East Fife to have their children baptised at Ceres, and this has been reflected in the baptismal register, in the index below all parishes and place-names have been kept, apart from Ceres: where none is given, the family belongs to Ceres]
      MILLIE, HENRY & MAGDALENE RUMGAY by Easthill of Bandirran; John, Oct 25/0ct 30 1791; Andrew, Jan 20 1793; David, Oct 10 1794; Thomas, July 26 1796; Robert, Aug 12 1798

      NOTE 3./ Historical Note: The Year Was 1789

      The year was 1789 and in the U.S. a young government was beginning to take shape. In its first nationwide election, the popular Revolutionary War general, George Washington, became the country's first president and was sworn in at the first capitol of the United States, Federal Hall in New York City.

      In France, a rebellion was underway and with the storming of the Bastille prison, the French Revolution began. In its reporting on the subject, The Times of London, England had the following to say of the conflict:

      The spirit of liberty which so long lay in a state of death, oppressed by the hand of power, received its first spark of returning animation, by the incautious and impolitic assistance afforded to America. The French soldier on his return from that emancipated continent, told a glorious tale to his countrymen--"That the arms of France had given freedome to thirteen United States, and planted the standard of liberty on the battlements of New York and Philadelphia." The idea of such a noble deed became a general object of admiration, the [facets?] of a similar state were eagerly longed for by all ranks of people, and the vox populi had this force of argument--"If France gave freedom to America, why should she not unchain the arbitrary fetters which bind her own people.

      Later that year, the Marquis de Lafayette, with the advice of Thomas Jefferson who was at the time the American ambassador to France, drafted the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen. It was adopted by France's National Assembly in August and ratified by Louis XVI in October.

      There was unrest in other parts of the world as well. Sweden and Russia were at war, and briefly, Norway had joined the conflict, although a peace treaty was signed in July 1789.

      In a smaller, but well-known conflict, the mutiny on the H.M.S. Bounty was also in the year 1789. On April 28, part of the crew of the Bounty, led by Fletcher Christian, mutinied and set Captain William Bligh and eighteen crewmembers adrift. Bligh managed to get the boat some 3,600 miles to Timor. Some of the mutineers were captured and prosecuted--three were hanged, while others, including Fletcher Christian ended up on Pitcairn Island, where some of their descendants live to this day.

      In 1789, there was an epidemic of influenza in New England, New York, and Nova Scotia, which resulted in many deaths due to secondary cases of pneumonia. The new president was among those who fell ill. He caught a cold while visiting Boston, and later, was affected more seriously with influenza, which was dubbed Washington Influenza.

    1. [S1783] Letter dated January 1, 1920 from Aunt Margaret Ellen McDowell (H.H.'s sister) to her niece Emma Millie McGarrity (Melanie's grandmother), Melanie Maasdam and LDS British Vital Records Index #2 from David Thompson.
      According to the letter dated January 1, 1920 from Aunt Margaret Ellen McDowell (H.H.'s sister) to her niece Emma Millie McGarrity (Melanie's grandmother), the Millie's settled in Scotland. Emma Millie McGarrity's grandfather’s grandfather (ie: Henry Millie's grandfather) had 4 sons, John, Tom, Andrew and Robert. The letter says that all 4 went to Ireland. Tom Millie was Henry Millie's father according to this letter. Henry Millie would be HH's Grandfather. With the new LDS British Vital Records collections however the following family in Fife has the right collection of sons. Better still, the unusual name of the mother make it virtually certain, that the son Thomas, born 1796, went to Ireland, as presumably did the other sons as described in Ms. McDowell's letter. The following lists the 6 sons of Henry Millie and Magdalene Rumgay (note the name):
      MILLIE, John Bir 1791 Scot Fife Ceres
      Fa: Henry Millie, Mo: Magdalene Rumgay
