* Armstrong Fairbairn (Fairy Bear-Fair Beorn)

Brigham ‘This is the Place’ genealogy with DNA applied

The Crozier, (crow-sers) had Crows in one of their arms. The chevron, two stars in the chief, and stag head are of the Elwald-Ellwood-Ellot shields pre Redheugh.

Blue molets should be gold.

Clan Elliot 29th chief Margaret Eliott of Redhuegh-Stobs

<em>The Balliol Roll, the earliest roll of arms for Scotland. It contains thirty-five shields of Scottish noblemen arranged beneath the arms of Sir Edward Balliol, king of Scots (c. 1282-1364), and was almost certainly composed for that ruler. </em>It is felt that a lot of <em><strong>Balliol</strong></em> changed their name to <em><strong>Bell</strong></em> , because of the conflict the Balliol had with Robert the Bruce.

Before James Douglas carried the heart of Robert the Bruce, the Douglas arms did not have the heart of Robert the Bruce on them. So the three mullet-stars white with a blue background represented the Douglas.

HOLE (house)/HOLLOW/HOLLAS;

Showing the burning of John Armstrang’s (Gilnockie) Holehouse, likely could be the tower which is standing today. Could use some archaeological carbon dating on the the burnt wood in it’s structure to verify this.

Shows that John Armstrang is well educated for his day because he could write letters.

Shows the names in 1528 Elwald (elk of woods), Nykson (Nicolas’ son), Armistrang (army strong of Scotland), Crosers (cross bearers); ie Elliot, Nixon, Armstrong, and Crozier, today.

<div tabindex=”0″ role=”application” aria-label=”Video Player”>JOHANNES WEYERS In order for Elwald to be of the Fairbiarn I-M253 (Fair Bear) story in the genealogy of the children of the bear, ‘wolf’, and ‘elk’, the ‘elk’ can not be a big deer. It has to be a ‘moose’, what the English and German call an ‘elk’. Because Elwald is derived from ‘moose of the forest’. Since the ‘american elk’ is only in the forest, the name created a branch, family. The ‘moose’ in English and German ‘elk’, has a branch family in the genealogy of the family tree. It is the ‘moose/elk’ of the thickets and marsh. Never have seen an ‘American elk’ in the marshes-thicket, but have seen an ‘English-German elk’ in the marshes-thicket.</div>

<em><strong>Colin Armstrong</strong> came up with the idea that as <strong>Gilnockie Tower was 500 years old</strong> and that 2019 </em><em>was the 50th anniversary of the moon landing, a celebration event should be held. The moon</em>
<em>landing was on <strong>20th July 1969</strong> followed by the historical steps taken onto the moon on the 21st July</em>
<em>1969. To commemorate these historical events, a special anniversary weekend is taking place at</em>
<em><strong>Gilnockie Tower</strong> on the weekend of <strong>20th and 21st July 2019.</strong></em>

Martin Ellot of the Braidley, brother to Robert of Redheugh, the William of Gorrenberry gang were apart of his group.

Andrew Ellot, Dand the Cowie’s son Clementis Hobs <em>alias</em> Robert Ellot’s sons Robert of Armagh, and Daniel Elliott of Tullykelter Fermanagh, Ulster.

Clements Hob ie Robert Ellot, syster’s son to Clement Crosier, and rode with them.

One can see that Gorrenberry, and Braidlie are neighbors.

Adam alias <em><strong>Cow</strong>das </em>of Shaws, just south of the Hermitage Castle is said to die off with The Cowie of Gorrenberry.

Walter Scot the son of David Scot of Buccleuch, witness the original land sasine, and William Elwald (Ellot) of Gorrenberry was quite active in Robert Elwald (Ellot) in the obtainment of the land, and acted in a fashion of the other landholders. Gorrenberry a landholder was there when Robert Elwald (Ellot), was acquiring land of Redheugh, Larriston, Hartsgarth, and other lands.

William Elwald-Ellot goodman (landholder) of Gorrenberry, would be using the earlier family shield.

As Sir Arthur Eliott would state the the St Germains (also St Germans), Port Eliot, are of a different group then that of Scotland. <a href=”https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eliot_family_(South_England)” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener noreferrer”>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eliot_family_(South_England)</a>

Wikipedia has a write-up on them. Hopefully, they will not be censored like I was for writing on the Clan Crozier from Wikipedia. They also concur that Aliot-Eliot originated in France.

Single <em><strong>l&t</strong></em> gives the away, as France (likely Breton) to St Germains <em><strong>Eliot</strong></em>. Not of Scotland.

The Armstrong are a collective, and as a collective they recognized Keith Elliot Hunter as being my brother-in-law. A rule for genealogy, is you do not throw out your brother-in-law.

When on Wikitree and in the USA, we were getting the message the chieftain was dependant on Margaret’s first child a son, but she has a daughter also. It is felt that Scotland wants an aristocratic chief.

The Carruthers, of my Y-DNA add mix are I-M253, and from Carrutherstown, Scotland, near the Armstrong, related to the Bruce family of Robert the Bruce, and they have been also, like many others been helping out, and came up with the unruly clans, which mean the pitch-in and can not be ruled.

Didn’t anyone tell those Carruthers those Grahams are English, guess like those Hunters they are on the side of the borderers.

<h5>Though Gilbert <em>Gib of Golden Garters </em>received a large dowry probably why he is <em><strong>of Golden Garters, </strong></em><strong>land passed to his son William of Stobs from his stepfather Gavin of Gorrenberry, then Horsliehill; William hung himself to preserve his estate from a Cromwellian War Tax, which went onto his son Sir Gilbert Eliott first Baronet of Stobs. Since Gilbert <em>of Golden Garthers </em></strong>was Margaret Kidd’s, son and not Jean Scott’s son sister to Buccleuch, when he married a cousin of Buccleuch, Margaret <em><strong>Fendy</strong></em> Scott of Harden there was no incest involved.</h5>
It should be noted; That Dand Ellot/Daniel Elliott now of Tullykelter, Fermanagh, Ulster, Ireland, received a lease of land which was of on Hamilton estate, and Robert XVI was married to a Hamilton;

Which Gavin/Gawin knew wife Marjorie-Marioun, did not have the best relations with the bauld Buccleuch. The Redheugh-Stobs line developed out this relation with the Scots of Buccleuch. Gilbert of Stobs is of the Redhuegh line but from the third son, and that is how we get a discontinuation of the name Robert, which the Eliott of Stobs do not use, but I had a brother named Robert, and there is a Robert P. Elliott in the Daniel Cluster of Y-DNA. So the<strong> line of Gorrenberry,</strong> does use the name Robert as a first and forename. As one can see <strong>Gilbert and William, not Robert</strong> being used by the <strong>Stobs Eliott. The Robert line is carried by the Gorrenberry line.</strong>

No wonder I like those Armstrong better. That bauld Buccleuch is just trying to get favoritism for Sir Gilbert Eliott which was a realignment of the Clan Elliot line. So clan ship lines may have alterations.

At this time Robert Ellot of Redheugh and Larriston were not getting along.

Do you think the Bauld Beccluech may had some influence over the Clan Elliot line though son of Robert of Redheuch, line becoming of Stobs? Now this happened previous to the now Charles II, Buccleuch line.

John Scott of Gorrinberrie, not William Ellot.

At Sir Gilbert of Stobs is the first time the Elwald Ellot line became of Eliott Stobs, and then Redheugh with likely repurchase. Gives reason people have the Armstrong-Elwald-Ellot (Angus Scots spelling ) as extinct, and why in Scotland, beginning to feel a bit “Cowie” or vanquished when from Gorrenberry.

In the past <strong>Buccleuch</strong> would feel safe siding with the main government, but after the American Revolution, no part of that country. With genealogy of family; <strong>Armstrong, Elliott, Nixon and Crozier,</strong> the Middle March family, not of kingdom.

<strong>Shield of sixteenth century William Ellot, Goodman (landholder) of Gorrenberry.</strong>

Gorrenberry Crest, Coat-of-Arms

Like the Armstrong say, represented by what is on the shield, and the shield of Stobs-Redhuegh, has an elwand (Scottish <em><strong>wand</strong></em> an <em><strong>el</strong> </em>in length for measurement as an yard or metre) , and we were called Elwand. Gorrenberry retains the previous shield with the stag head from the Elioth-Elwold-Ellwood previous Elwold-Elwould, and in Liddesdale Elwald. It should be noted Y-DNA wise more related to the Ker(r) then the Scott. The Bauld Buccleuch is married to a <strong>Kerr</strong> of Ferniehirst, but have been in conflict with the <strong>Ker</strong> of Cessford (Duke of Roxburghe) or Cessford, Roxburghe, and now Floors Castle near Kelso. The Ker have beat the Armstrong and Scott to County Antrim, previous to the Ulster Plantation, where they are sometimes looked upon as being Gaelic, and could be so far in the past.

<strong>Like an Armstrong, I have a strong right arm, but I am left handed.</strong>

In the Salem Witch Trials and Anne Carr (ie <strong>Ker</strong>) Putnam, directed the accusers (young girls) of the trial, and my family were refugees, and my many great grand father Daniel Elliot, step mother-in-law was accused and lost two sisters in that trial. Daniel Elliot is a Y-DNA branch point where two of his sons have lines which go back and I have a different last SNP, and am on a single branch. They are Norman in nature and I am Anglo-Saxon. Like the Battle of Hastings. When you have a name which means <em><strong>elk of the wood,</strong></em> they are <em><strong>elk of the marsh</strong></em>. For Americans for <em><strong>elk</strong></em> use the American word <strong><em>moose</em></strong>. Those which seem to have the greatest conflict in families are those which are most alike.

Carrs (Kerrs), Liddells (Liddles), Basdens Scotland Liddells (Liddles) place Liddel Water-Liddesdale Basdens – Anglo-Saxon. Wife of East Tennessee County where my pre-Revolution German Hammer line, moved to. Those people are considered close family which has had conflict in the past.
<h3>Kelsae : A History of Kelso from Earliest Times;</h3>
<h3 class=”bd-bk-author”>by Moffat, Alistair</h3>
Armstrong, have informed me that he is an allied of the Armstrong, like the Elliott.

My understanding Alistair Moffat is from Kelso, where Floors Castle is near, but moved to Selkirk. Have book on order, so I still have a lot to learn, is an understatement.

The R-U106 Kerr claims Smailhome Tower, Kelso, Roxburgh. I-M223 Donegal, Ireland. It seem to be the Kerr are of my Danish-Viking add mixture, and carry that Celtic-Germanic I-M223 Y-DNA, along with the R-U106 of my Proto-Germanic, on <em>R</em>-<em>L47</em> (Y-DNA). <em>R</em>-<em>L47</em> is a subclade within the R-U106 part of the tree, under the R-L48 group (Geni.com). Dad’s mother’s father is a Spencer of the R-L48 line. The more the genealogical conflict, and the closer you get to the line that more difficult the genealogy.

This one though the Bauld Buccleuch, Richard Scott, likely of R-L21, which the Grisham and variants I match of nearby Bec, Norfolk. He is married to a Ferniherst Kerr, which has had its conflict with the Cessford (Roxburghe) Ker, can expect him to deal with this one, and may take some time.

Family which my family has had conflict with.

<strong>Gib Ellot</strong> above is using the <strong>Redhuegh-Larriston</strong> seal, not yet until 1666, that of <strong>Sir Gilbert Eliott </strong>(note spelling)<strong> of Stobs</strong>. The seal used by the family previous to between 1566 and 1591, would be the one which <strong>William Ellot of Gorrenberry-Horsliehill</strong> line, of which <strong>Gib Ellot is a stepson to,</strong> and of the <strong>Redheugh-Larrison to become of Stobs,</strong> with assistance of the Bauld Buccleuch.

Since I am of this Gorrenberry Elwald-Ellot line to many family historians not of the Elliot(t)-Eliott surname, want to have it die off with <em>The Cowie of Gorrenberry</em>. It is easily to play along because I am descended from Andrew (Dand the Cowie), which had sons; Andrew (Dand the Cow Burgess of Selkirk), and the notorious thief of Liddesdale; Robert Ellot (Clementis Hob; Clement Crosar-Crozier’s syster’s son Hob Elwode). Just remember one can not though they try choose their ancestors. Though the Armstrong are the Unvanquished, consider me to a lot of others the Vanquished <em>Cowie of Gorrenberry</em>.

The chief and I are family, but I carry the Y-DNA. We are the families of Horseliehill, but she is of Redheugh-Stobs, and I am of Gorrenberry. Armstrong in this case it is I which holds the elwand, because with only the numbers, Armstrong am I able to follow you.

Goodman refers to a landholder;

<em><strong>Buccleuch,</strong></em> acquired estates in the <em><strong>PARISH OF CASTLETOUN</strong></em> (Castleton) which he paid taxes on of; <em><strong>Mangerton</strong></em> (Armstrong), <em><strong>Gorrenberry</strong></em> (Elliot), part of <em><strong>Whithaugh</strong></em> (Armstrong), and <em><strong>Elliot of Midlem-mill’s Lands.</strong></em>

Son to Robert XV of Redheugh, stepson to Gavin of the Gorrenberry-Horsliehill,

Gilbert ‘Golden Garters’ Ellot, son William Ellot then Elliot then Eliott of Stobs his first son is Sir Gilbert Eliott of Stobs, 1st Baronet 1666.

Hate to disappoint the Armstrong, just freebooters and vagabonds, no aristocrats, in my line of Elwald-Ellot-Elliot-Elliott. Do not know how the Armstrong can have a gallant company with someone like me in it.

It’s that Middle March (maybe the Armstrong influence) Border Reiver in me, to create the above 3, by adding to previous backgrounds. With that Brexit-EU board they really through a lasso around former border families of Scotland, when the Brexit-EU border goes around County Fermanagh.

Note; Armystrand>Armistrang>Armstrong, Fairbairn-Elliot of an I-M253 NPE Irwin mix. The Fairbairn in the <strong>Fair Bear</strong> story are of the <strong>Bear</strong> line, and I am of the Elk (Moose) line. It is felt that in the Danish-Viking admix, which I travel with as <strong>R-U106</strong> (proto-<strong>Germanic</strong>), traveling with <strong>I-M223</strong> (pre-<em>Celtic</em> <strong>Germanic</strong>), and <strong>I-M253</strong> (Anglo-Viking), It’s the I-M253 which carries my admix, because there as Fairbairn NPE with the Elliot, and this NPE is likely pre-surname, from the mother Fair Bear. Where one is a <strong>Bear</strong> (I-M253), another an <strong>Elk</strong> (Moose) R-U106, and the third the <strong>Wolf</strong> (I-M223). (<em>Armstrang></em> to <em>Armystrand></em> correction made 2/5/2019 MSE)

A model of the Fair Bear story to think about.

In Germany with the same pronunciation of <em><strong>bear</strong></em> is spelled <em><strong>bär.</strong></em>

The name<strong><em> Wolf</em> </strong>came from Germany, where over half the number of people with the surname <em><strong>Wolf</strong></em> live in Germany.

<a href=”http://named.publicprofiler.org/” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener noreferrer”>http://named.publicprofiler.org/</a>

Descendant line of the Clan Elliot chieftain, is not based on whether you are female or male, like being a Baronet may be. Chief’s Margaret Eliott’s father Sir Arthur Eliott 11th Baronet of Stobs, and Margaret is the only child is not a baron. Since Margaret’s first child is a boy, and he has no offspring, the descendant line of the true chieftain Redheugh line, will eventually go down the daughter’s line. Because she like her mother Margaret has children.

The 15th chief of Redheugh onto Larriston, feuded with the Armstrong (‘Lock the Larriston’ ‘the Armstrongs are flying’). He married a sister of Buccleuch, name not Maragaret, but Larriston was known to have a mistress a Margaret Kidd (Kidd’s Curse), which he built a tower for north of Redheugh on the Hermitage River, called Hartsgarth.

The chieftain line travels down the Redheugh line, and Margaret Eliott, of Redheugh-Stobs, is of that line. Buccleuch, with a large dowry given to Gilbert (Gib) ‘of golden garters’, insured that he would marry into the Scott line a cousin of Harden, since Gilbert’s mother though listed as a sister of Buccleuch, really was not, there was considered by the family no incest.

Robert Elliot of Lariston chief 15th feuded with the Armstrong;

His brother Martin of the Braidley, and of Prickinghaugh (of the Braidley), was intern chief.

He also seemed to play around on the Bauld Buccleuch’s daughter a Jean. Ellot chieftain line was realigned to include Stobs. Note; daughter’s name Margaret, like today’s chief. It is felt that Maggie (Margaret) Kidd of Saughtree is who he played around with. It should be noted that I am not of the Redheugh line, and Margaret Eliott is. This is the line which is the chieftain’s line and needs to be maintained as such.

In 1376 residing in Mangerton, their was an Alexandir Armystrand. This I feel myself is recorded correctly by Robert Bruce Armstrong, in his History of Liddesdale… Mangerton is on the Liddel Water, and it is felt that that Alexandir was one of the earlier ones because of his position as chief to utilize a surname. Armystrand, means ‘army strand’, an army along the bank of a river, in this case along the Scottish side of the Liddel Water.

The name evolved along the Liddel Water from, Armystrang, to Armistrang, with variants to become Armstrong after the Armstrong did not recognize themselves as being the ‘strong army of Scotland’.

Names such as Kinmont Willie would have evolved into William Kinmount, Gilnockie, Johnnie, John Gilnockie, Hector of Harlow, into Hector Harlow, but since they were a part of the strongest army ever of the Kingdom of Scotland and proud of it, people took on the name Armistrang, which after border pacification and the Armistrang no longer ‘the strong army of Scotland’ became Armstrong.

The Scottish name Armistrang, meaning ‘strong army of Scotland’, did coincide with the ‘Armstrong’, with a likely origins of ‘strong arm’ as associated with the Fairbairn, but Y-DNA, shows since the Elwald-Ellot-Elliot-Elliott, and Fairbair reside northward and eastward, that the I-M253 which they coincide with is indicative of a stronger relationship between the Elliott and Fairbairn, then the Armstrong and Fairbairn.

Though, for the I-M253 the Armstrong, may not be as closely related to the Fairbairn, like the Elliott, it is felt by their collective answers, instead of with the Elliott sometimes a individual singularity, this is enabling the Armystrand-Armistrang-Armstrong, to get a closer refinement on their family history.

12/30/2018 MSE It is this family the Middle March; Armstrong, Elliott, Nixon and Crozier which I am of, a Borderer which makes me not of either kingdom England or Scotland.

Windy Edge Wind Farm,

Somewhat a genealogist. Dad, was an excellent one, and seem to build on him. Recently decease, and died in his hometown of Mt Ayr, Iowa, USA, where a great proportion of the people living in this small enclave their descendants are of this small border community just north of the Missouri border. Borderers seem to like borders, and I live in the four corners region of the US, where the corners of New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, and Colorado, and the borders of many governments, where the Navajo Nations is, land size about half that of the UK.

Any way thought I, being of the Society of Friends, a searcher, or seeker, as the Later Day Saints, say, find your ancestors find oneself, and with Y-DNA, following my Y-Chromosomes decided to chase down my father’s father. Entering Fermanagh, then Scotland, felt after being away for four century, no one in the UK would believe me.

Granddad was hidden away of north by the baud Buccleuch, who I call <i>buck</i>, have a difficult time with pronouncing his name. He uses a<i> buck</i>, as a symbol for Buccleuch Estates, but use Elliot(t)s Walter (what a name for an Elliot of Scotland), and myself believe the name is from a <i>buck</i>ing stream. Buck is married to a Kerr, and I blame his wife on being a romantic in believing that the family started from all the land a <i>buck </i>can travel on. It is felt she drug me into to this thing in the first place.

He has all the land because he would bail the Armstrong and my branch at the time referred to as the Elwald-Ellot, as found properly in The Chronicles.

The Armstrong Trust is fairly new, and has not been contaminated by domination by influences other than Armstrong, and properly supported a group, Malcolm MacGregor, chairman. The MacGregor, were chased out of the north to the borderlands, and the Armstrong were chased out of the borderlands to the north. The chief of Clan MacGregor, a Malcolm also is married to an Armstrong on the board of this trust.

The name of the group is properly called The Hermitage Action Group, the the proposed wind farm is called by an obscure name of the region Windy Edge.

Today the Armstrong share similar characteristics and have been displaced all over Scotland, and are connect through the internet.

Fallago Rig (Ridge) on the Scottish side of the border, which the Duke of Northumberland, tried to stop who is a border brother to Buck, and he was going up against; Buck rivals and that of the Armstrong; Cessford; the Duke of Roxburghe (Roxburghshire), Ferniehirst (big in Brittish politics, Clan Kerr chief), and my relation Redheugh, but as the Armstrong have pointed out I am of Gorrenberry.

Today’s Redheugh chief is female an her husband not an Eliott has taken over with his corporate North British Windpower NBW (Google it), British MI6, links, so I get to border reive into the UK a descendant of the most notorious Clementis Hobs; in today’s language Clement Crozier’s nephew Robert Elliott. Had a brother named Robert Elliott (deceased). He first lived with uncle on land of Stobs then on Gorrenberry, and his father a refugee would come form where he was hidden away by Buck at the time on land of Gave that of Baillillie (likely Bailly Bye). This was near land which Martin Ellot leaving on Bothwell lease land of Braidly near Hermitage Castle owned up north but did not live on. Martin Ellot therefore could be called “of” Braidly though the land he owned was up north, in much the same way it is the Infinis Windy Edge wind farm and not The Hermitage Castle wind farm.

Given in the case of Fallago Rig that the Scottish Border Council was superseded by The Scottish Government, and today’s Armstrong because of The Union are internet linked ans scattered away from the borders, would like these UK Armstrong to take advantage of this an contact there local Scottish Government official, and speak out against the appeal on Infinis Windy Edge (Hermitage Castle), wind farm, because it affects the heritage of all reivers which were spread into the English Plantations of the world, and do not want to travel overseas back to their Scottish border homeland to see a wind farm place near the Hermitage Castle, because Buccleuch is still feuding with the Kerrs of Cessford and Ferniehirst.

The earliest record of the name in 1376 is <em><strong>Armystrand (army strand)</strong></em>. Where<em><strong> strand</strong></em> means; In Webster’s;

In the Dictionary of the Scottish Language (DSL);

On following map additions Dated 10/1/2015;

Army of the Ermydoune (army fort), Ermytage/Hermitage (army post), is likely the Elwald (Ellot/Elliot) of the foresta (groves), The army stranded along the Liddel Water is likely the Armystrand/Armstrang/Armstrong, and the army for the foot of Kerhopefoot, the Kerhope (valley of the Ker) is likely the Ker. These are the first armies with support of the Scots and Douglases, to defend Scotland. MSE 3/15/2104 Was finding Armstrong at Kerhopefoot, so changed the Kerr Tower to an Armstrong Tower. To the north still of Whitehaugh Tower on the Liddel Water is Mangerton Tower. The name for Alexandir <em><strong>Armystrand</strong></em> of Mangerton, in <em><strong>1376</strong></em> was the name<em><strong> Armystrand/army strand</strong></em>, because; <em><strong>they were the army stranded along the Liddel Water.</strong></em> MSE 1/29/2014

Christogram<strong> IHS</strong> –a monogram symbol of Jesus Christ in form of an acronym. This would symbolize, I feel a burial. R B Armstrong wrote extensively on the history of the Liddesdale region in the nineteenth century. It is felt that what is now called a<em><strong> Milnholm Cross</strong></em> is a sword, but previously to the sword it was a cross, as given in R B Armstrong’s book. For the Armstrong the cross had been turned into a sword, and for the Elwald (Elwand), the elwand (Scottish ell measuring stick), also had been turned into a sword, which gives misrepresentation of the original nature of the Armstrong, and Elwald. <span style=”color: #000000;”><span style=”font-family: ‘Times New Roman’;”><span style=”font-size: large;”>The <strong>Armstrong</strong> name-legend most widely known appears in many places, but the earliest version was written in 1754. Curiously, every other version contains the same elements and the same omissions. The story goes that in an ancient battle the King of the Scots was unhorsed. His armor bearer Fairbairn, with one arm, picked up the king and sat him upon Fairbairn’s own horse. The grateful king decreed that Fairbairn should thereafter be know as <em><strong>Armstrong, and gave him land along the Scottish Border.</strong></em></span></span></span> Want to thank my brother german (one who shares the same Y-DNA) Robert P. Elliott, for providing this information. It took a lot of research to be able to correlate a grouping of surname locations, with the grouping of the close Y-DNA, and recently am able to determine where the Y-DNA fingerprint was placed.

<a href=”http://www.elwald.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Rutherford-Scot-Ker-Armstrong-Burns-DNA-distance.png”><img class=”alignnone size-medium wp-image-1608″ src=”http://www.elwald.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Rutherford-Scot-Ker-Armstrong-Burns-DNA-distance-300×231.png” alt=”Rutherford, Scot, Ker, Armstrong, Burns DNA distance” width=”300″ height=”231″ /></a> Given the grouping of names in the region of the Liddel/Leven Waters, and the closeness of our Y-DNA, what is referred to as THE DANIEL GROUPING definitely left a Y-DNA fingerprint in this region. <span style=”color: #000000;”><span style=”font-family: ‘Times New Roman’;”><span style=”font-size: large;”>Unmentioned in any version are details of the battle, the name of the king, and who won. Partly because the name<strong> Armstrong</strong> is recorded along the Border as early as 1223, a consensus among our clan historians inclines towards the Battle of the Standard in 1138, when David I lost to the English about 90 miles south of the Border. To us this seems reasonable, especially since the legend makes no claim that, owing to <strong>Fairbairn’s</strong> gallant rescue, the Scots were victorious. Had they won, would the legend have failed to say so?</span></span></span> <span style=”color: #000000;”><span style=”font-family: ‘Times New Roman’;”><span style=”font-size: large;”>Another legend, however, has come down through centuries of <strong>Armstrong.</strong> It used to be immersed in a fog of fairy tales, closely matching<em><strong> Danish folklore,</strong></em> whose interest for our present purpose would be slight, except for the appearance within them of the Fairy Bear, which is to say the Fair Beorn.</span></span></span> <span style=”color: #000000;”><span style=”font-family: ‘Times New Roman’;”><span style=”font-size: large;”>According to this ancient legend, the Armstrong progenitor was an <em><strong>Anglo-Danish</strong></em> Earl of <em><strong>York, Northumbria,</strong></em> Huntingdon, and Northampton named Siward. Earl Siward was a great warrior, sometimes called, ‘the Strong’, and he was a major figure in the final chapters of<em><strong> Anglo Saxon</strong></em> history just before the Norman Conquest in 1066. The College of Heralds says that Earl Siward’s father was an Earl in England named Beorn, and some scholars say that Siward was a nephew of Cnut (or Canute), King of England. It was Cnut, at any rate, who about 1033 made Siward the Earl of <em><strong>York.</strong></em> Siward then conquered<strong><em> Northumbria</em></strong> about 1042, to bring that kingdom for the first time under the English monarch, with Siward as its earl. On gaining the English throne, Edward the Confessor kept Siward in his earldoms, so that Siward remained one of the most powerful men in Britain.</span></span></span> <span style=”color: #000000;”><span style=”font-family: ‘Times New Roman’;”><span style=”font-size: large;”>Then, up in Scotland, Macbeth killed King Duncan, who had married Earl Siward’s sister (or possibly his cousin ). Siward provided sanctuary for Malcolm, son of Duncan, and in 1054 led his army north, accompanied by Malcolm At Dunsinane, Earl Siward defeated Macbeth, whereupon Siward’s nephew (or cousin) became Malcolm III, of Scots. (Editor) This killing by Macbeth and mention of Siward’s victory is noted in Shakespeare’s play <i>Macbeth</i>.</span></span></span> <span style=”color: #000000;”><span style=”font-family: ‘Times New Roman’;”><span style=”font-size: large;”>Let us now note some evidence incised in stone. From Shakespeare’s play <i>Macbeth</i>. Recall the witches’ prophecy “… until great Birnam Wood to high Dunsinane Hill shall come..”, and we recall Siward’s troops advancing camouflaged with oak bows. Well, oak trees and bows appear on a number of ancient <strong>Armstrong</strong> coats of arms, some still visible on tombstones along the Scottish Border and in Northern Ireland. Also appearing on tombstones are swords of Danish Viking style. Moreover, the main feature of the most ancient Armstrong monument, the Milnholm Cross in Liddesdale, (dating from between 1250 and 1350), is a great two-handed, cross-hilt sword of the Viking sort. A similar sword is on the 1583 arms of the Armstrong clan chief, among the remains of Mangerton.</span></span></span>

<span style=”color: #000000;”><span style=”font-family: ‘Times New Roman’;”><span style=”font-size: large;”><em><strong>Northumbria</strong></em> under William the Conqueror but in 1076 was beheaded for rebellion. Siward’s elder son Osbeorn was killed in the battle at Dunsinane, but he left two sons of his own, Siward the Fair (or the White) and Siward the Red. About the latter we know only through family legend, but the Anglo-Saxon Chronicles and other contemporary sources call the former by the name of Siward Barn, and they tell of four events in his life.</span></span></span> <span style=”color: #000000;”><span style=”font-family: ‘Times New Roman’;”><span style=”font-size: large;”>1)In 1070, King Malcolm while ravaging <em><strong>Northumbria,</strong></em> found on ships at the mouth of the Wear River and a band of royal and noble <em><strong>Anglo-Saxons.</strong></em> They were Edward the Confessor’s heir Edgar Atheling, his mother and sisters, plus Siward Barn, Earl Marlswein, and ‘several other Englishmen of great rank and wealth’. Having failed in a <em><strong>Danish</strong></em> aided attempt to expel William the Conqueror, they hoped for refuge in Scotland. Malcolm assured them of safe residence there, and after his return soon married Atheling’s sister Margaret, whose profoundly civilizing effect upon Malcolm and Scotland led to her sainthood.</span></span></span> <span style=”color: #000000;”><span style=”font-family: ‘Times New Roman’;”><span style=”font-size: large;”>2)In 1071, another revolt against William the Conqueror occurred. Siward Barn brought a large body of troops deep into England, to Ely, and joined in rebellion with several noble kinsmen, including Hereward the Wake and the former earls Morcar and Edwin. Against them William the Conqueror personally led the counteroffensive, shattering the rebel force. Capturing Siward Barn and Morcar, he kept them alive, as captives, in Normandy for seventeen years.</span></span></span> <span style=”color: #000000;”><span style=”font-family: ‘Times New Roman’;”><span style=”font-size: large;”>3)When dying in 1087, King William the Conqueror released Morcar and Siward Barn. Morcar was re-imprisoned by the new king of England. Siward Barn managed to avoid capture and re-imprisonment.</span></span></span> <span style=”color: #000000;”><span style=”font-family: ‘Times New Roman’;”><span style=”font-size: large;”>The final written record of Siward Barn is dated 1091, in Durham, near the Border and well east of Carlisle. It is a charter bearing signatures of King William Rufus, of royal officials, and of noble witnesses. The latter include several earls and Siward Barn. Historians think the charter may be a forgery made a few decades later. Even if it is, we see that a knowledgeable ecclesiastical forger of the early 1100s regarded Siward Barn as a Border region noble sufficiently worthy to list in exalted company.</span></span></span> <span style=”color: #000000;”><span style=”font-family: ‘Times New Roman’;”><span style=”font-size: large;”>The language used between 1104 and 1108 by the Durham chronicler Simeion to report the 1087 release by the dying king is worth noting. Simeon wrote “he liberated. . . Siward surnamed Barn.. .”. The significance for us is that nine centuries ago scarcely anyone in Britain possessed a surname. Only in the 1100s did surnames begin to appear, and most people lacked them until the 1300s or 1400s.</span></span></span> <span style=”color: #000000;”><span style=”font-family: ‘Times New Roman’;”><span style=”font-size: large;”>Spelling was picturesquely variable in the Middle Ages, and later, too. Bjorn, Biorn, Beorn, Barne, Barne, Burn, and Bairn could equally be used for the same person, even though in Denmark Bjorn meant ‘bear’ and in Scotland Bairn meant ‘child’. We could hardly be so foolish as to assert that no Fairbairn in Scotland by the 1500s, say, owed hissurname to the juvenile handsomeness of some forbearer. But we do believe that the Border landholder Thomas Fairbarne who sued in a North Tynedale court in 1279 derived his name from Earl Siward’s grandson Siward Barn. Further research into records of the region, we feel, may well turn up still earlier Fairbarns, however spelled</span></span></span> <span style=”color: #000000;”><span style=”font-family: ‘Times New Roman’;”><span style=”font-size: large;”>Research by the Clan <strong>Armstrong</strong> Trust in Scotland has uncovered earlier instances of the sllnl’!h’tlt: Armstrohgin the early 1200s. Their locations, like Thomas Fairbarne’s, are all in the near vicinity of the Border as it then existed. In that era Scotland and England were still actively contending for possession of Northumberland and Cumberland. Even though the second Anglo-Norman king turned the Carlisle area into an English stronghold in 1092, that area was frequently held by Scottish monarchs thereafter. Penrith, located further south, was often a possession of the King of Scots as well.</span></span></span> <a href=”http://www.elwald.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/RBA-1.jpg”><img class=”alignnone size-medium wp-image-1748″ src=”http://www.elwald.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/RBA-1-224×300.jpg” alt=”RBA (1)” width=”224″ height=”300″ /></a> <span style=”color: #000000;”><span style=”font-family: ‘Times New Roman’;”><span style=”font-size: large;”>These are areas where the <strong>Armstrong</strong> were recorded in the 1200s.</span></span></span> <span style=”color: #000000;”><span style=”font-family: ‘Times New Roman’;”><span style=”font-size: large;”>Exactly when the <strong>Armstrong</strong> settled in Liddesdale will probably never be known for sure. On that front line, records did not survive the incessant warfare.</span></span></span> <span style=”color: #000000;”><span style=”font-family: ‘Times New Roman’;”><span style=”font-size: large;”>Some students think Liddesdale was <strong>Armstrong</strong> country during the 1200s and possibly during some of the 1100s. Just across a saddle in the Cheviot Hills from <strong><em>Liddesdale lay North Tynedale, where we know of one Fairbarne in 1279.</em></strong></span></span></span> <span style=”color: #000000;”><span style=”font-family: ‘Times New Roman’;”><span style=”font-size: large;”>So these two legends, of Armstrong descent from Siward through Siward Barn (or the Fair), and of <em><strong>Fairbairn</strong></em> renamed Armstrong by a rescued king, strike us as simply two sides of the same coin. To date, each new discovery has tended to reinforce this opinion, to support the ancient conviction that <strong>Armstrong and Fairburn</strong> (or Fairbairns) are the same stock. Short of the Pearly Gate we are not likely to know for sure, but let the search go on!</span></span></span>

<p align=”LEFT”>Note; on the Redheugh shield there is an elwand (a wand an ell long), a length standardize in Edinburgh used in the measurement of land. The Elwand of the early sixteenth century were sometimes called Elwand, as symbolized on the shield, and indicative to their skill set as surveyors. On he Lariston shield is a stag’s head, evolve once for the name Elchwald (misspelled today as Eichwald in were it is easy to get and “I” mixed up with an “l”), meaning Elch (moose) or the wald (forest). Since moose were extinct like today in Scotland a stag’s head was used. It should be noted; the people of the marsh (Ker), like a moose is of the marsh still are known to use the moose head.</p>
<p align=”LEFT”>Though <strong>Maggie daughter of Arthur Eliott,</strong> and I are closely related, with both families of Horseliehill/Horseleyhill showing similar name usage. As you can see in the venn diagram, both families at the time of branching, hers to Stobs (stobs so named, because of the land being in trees, and line-of-sight or metes-and-bounds surveying was impracticable, therefore staking or stobs would be used as shown on the 1654 Bleau Map), and my family went to Ulster Plantation (Fermanagh) at the time of the Union of the Crowns.</p>
<p align=”LEFT”> <a href=”http://www.elwald.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Stobs-Cavers-map.png”><img class=”alignnone size-medium wp-image-1459″ src=”http://www.elwald.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Stobs-Cavers-map-300×205.png” alt=”Stobs, Cavers, map” width=”300″ height=”205″ /></a></p>
<p align=”LEFT”>Her family is of Redheugh, and my family is of Lariston/Goranberry. The ladies of Lariston had the curse of Helen Kid placed upon them so my family, with the help of sister-in-law to Gilbert, married to deceased, Robert, helped us relocate to the Ulster Plantation. My granddad Dan (Andrew) Ellot, who fought for Branxholm (Buck), became Daniel Ellot/Elliott in Ulster, and his grandson Daniel left Ulster, as Daniel Ellot, Episcopalian, of which the Hamilton were and what Buck (<b>Buck </b>the Duke of Buccleuch Estates, any time in history) is today, to settle in the American Plantation.</p>
<p align=”LEFT”>Granddad Andrew (Dan), was the grandfather of Dandie/Daniel of the Ulster Plantation, and the great-great grandfather of Daniel Ellot to Elliot in the American Plantation. He was also the older brother to Gavin of Stobs, who was the step father to Gilbert. Because of some problems, his son Robert Elwald/Ellot was adopted by his uncle Clement Crosar (Crozier) ca 1566, of Stobs, which Andrew father being hidden away in Baillillie, by the Scott family for killing a Douglas. Name Baillillie comes from baillie (like bailiff, but more like a commissioner). Many of my family were well educated by within the family tutors, and were bailles. Like Andrew the Kow/Cow (cowie based) baillee/comminsioner of Shelkirk, and Daniel of Fermanagh, older brother Robert was baille with title, to the John Hamilton family of Armagh, and likely died in the Irish Rebellion of 1642 (son Robert surveyed land). It should be noted that I suspect the first Cowie of Goranberry, because of the name Andrew the Kow/Cow, was Andrew’s father and Andrew (Dand) also who was hidden away up north by Buck, and came done to Goranberry to visit his younger brother Achibald (Arche) Kene (wise), and his son Clementis Hob (Clement Crosar’s (Crozier), nephew Robert Elwald/Ellot), and on these visits because he was a wanted man he stayed hidden away. In order not to disclosed who was doing all the work the close family just called him Cowie/Kowie.</p>
<p align=”LEFT”>Because the Crozier are a sept of the Armstrong Clan, and Clementis Hob ca 1566, was adopted by uncle Clement Crosar (Crozier), this is one thing which makes me of the Armstrong Clan.</p>
<p align=”LEFT”>My family tutored stepson Gilbert, and his oldest son William, of which the last name <strong>Eliott</strong> of the Redheugh family Eliott of Stobs is derived. The people of the Ulster Plantation, did not pass on the names Gilbert, or Walter, though I know Walter is an Elliot name in the United Kingdom. The Armstrong of Fermanagh, also did not seem to use these names. It should be noted that William <strong>Eliott</strong> who married a Douglas is a hero to my line, and the use of the name Archibald from Archibald Douglas was proudly used by the <strong>Ellot</strong> of the early Ulster Plantation.</p>
<p align=”LEFT”>It should be noted that in the Fairy Bear Story the Bear (Armstrong), and the Elch/Elg (moose) are friends but the Elch/Elg (Elwald-Ellot-Elliot), are not friends with the Lomane (wolf).</p>
<p align=”LEFT”>There is an aspect of people with the name Elliott which have origins from Wm de Aliot (France), and this concept is being propose by the Elliott Clan, as the only concept. It can be seen on the Elliot Clan Map, where the home of Martin Ellot, who was in-term chief of the Ellot Clan when no Robert, is placed in the north and not near the Hermitage Castle where his family was from.</p>
<p align=”LEFT”>The the Elliott Clan the Elch/Elg/Elk (moose), is extinct and does not exist, and therefore I do not exist to the Elliott Clan, and though branching from Horseleyhill of Maggie of the Redheugh line, once we left to America, where there Elch/Elg/Elk (moose), that is where you find the Elliott which contain my Y-DNA.</p>

<p align=”LEFT”>There is a hunter, in the United Kingdom which would like to blast this moose head off, since I am extinct to the United Kingdom I wish him luck, though he has done an excellent job of searching and is getting things correct. Can not complete my research without the hunter. That hunter has taken the Wm de Aliot line into a high level of correction, where it is not being dominated by those of the United Kingdom with the name of Elliot, which altered the truth of my family off. For this hunter, I am thankful. The Border Elliot, when the spelled the name as Elliot in reference to before 1650, they were spelling it as the English were spelling it, and I kind of resented it, because the name for my family arriving in the America Plantation ca 1650 was altered to Elliot by English Puritan society there. By spelling the name Elliot for those Ellot of the sixteenth century, is like saying a pike of six ells is eighteen feet long, which makes an ell are yard long. My family arrived in America as Ulster Scots, with an ell longer than a yard, and the name Ellot not Elliot.</p>

<p align=”LEFT”>Though north of where I have lived in the San Juan National Forest, of Colorado, USA. The have developed a plan for hunting the moose, because the black bear is friends with the moose, and they know better than introducing the wolf.</p>
<p align=”LEFT”><a href=”http://www.elwald.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Moose-SW-CO-2005.jpg”><img class=”alignnone size-medium wp-image-1583″ src=”http://www.elwald.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Moose-SW-CO-2005-300×236.jpg” alt=”Moose SW CO 2005″ width=”300″ height=”236″ /></a></p>
<p align=”LEFT”>So the plan properly analysed is to hunt the moose to control it’s population.</p>
<p align=”LEFT”>IT SHOULD ALSO BE NOTED THAT I HAVE FIRST HAND KNOWLEDGE THERE ARE FRIENDLY BEAR ( in Navajo<em><strong> shush</strong></em>) IN THE SAN JUAN, NATIONAL FOREST OF SOUTHWEST COLORADO, USA.</p>
Though mentioned there are American moose same as United Kingdom elk in the (had also seen American elk there. The first American elk my wife saw she called a big deer. Yes, they look like big deer), San Juan, and the best way for southwest Colorado, to control the moose (moose; etymology of eastern Algonquian, an indigenous American nation) is to have them hunted. To introduce the wolf, it would spread, because they pack up like they are ancestors to the dog, and kill livestock, would harm the rancher’s way of living. Have a neighbor of the Tanner family of Trading Post owners, said his grandfather put a trail down the grand canyon. At Desert View overlook in the Grand Canyon the trail which is visible is the Tanner Trail. A mutual friend who is Navajo said an older Tanner killed a bear, and he was referred to as bear; <i><b>shush </b></i>in Navajo, and the one who put the trail in may have been <i><b>shush. </b></i>The decedents of <i><b>shush</b></i> are <i><b>shush yaz</b></i>, or little bears. In hiking the San Juan, of Southwest Colorado, on the trail in front there was a <i><b>shush yaz, </b></i>which made me concerned with<i><b> shush shima </b></i>(mother bear). Unless one antagonizes <i><b>shush shima, shush shima, </b></i>can be kind.<i><b> </b></i>To figure out how to get beyond, <i><b>shush yaz</b></i>, without intimidating the unseen<i><b> sush</b></i> <i><b>shima</b></i> would be a trick. The American black bear unlike the polar bear is not known to be carnivorous, and are friends to the moose. <b>Shush</b> can not be dependent on controlling moose populations in the San Juan as well as the hunter which does not also go after livestock. Because in the San Juan the moose and the bear (<i><b>shush</b></i>) are friends. Still trying to figure out how to get by <i><b>shush yaz</b></i> without antagonizing <i><b>shush shima. </b></i>Did want to know where <i><b>shush shima</b></i> was at, so I started to grunt with increasing volume on following grunts. One has to at least try to communicate with the <i><b>shush shima </b></i>for ones own safety because she may want to protect her child. <i><b>Shush shima</b></i> was above me and above the trail with another <i><b>shush yaz, </b></i>which<i><b> shush yaz</b></i> usually come in pairs. Seem to be eating berries and was quite friendly, and looked at me as being no harm, seemly to wave me on. Guess the <i><b>shush</b></i> in the San Juan are friendly. by Mark Elliott 11/25/2013
<p align=”LEFT”>With the Fairy Bear story of Fermanagh, Ulster the bear eats the moose, and some species are known to eat the moose. A polar bear being carnivorous, would eat a moose.</p>

<p align=”LEFT”>If the mothers of a carnivorous, polar bear, are they carnivorous, also, and would they eat the moose.</p>
<p align=”LEFT”>Though I do not think the Irish bear eating the Irish moose made them extinct, but the Irish bear could have been easily a carnivorous meat eater.</p>

<div>Given the range of years would think their should be others placed in the genealogy. On the Milnholm Cross, there placed above the AA likely Alexander (could be Achibald, after the Douglas; Archibald) is an MA. Since it is above I would question whether it is his wife, but likely I feel given viking orientation it would be his father.</div>

<div>So if anyone finds a <em><strong>Martin</strong></em> father of an<em><strong> Alexandir/Alexander Armystrand/Armystrang/Armstrang/Armystrong</strong> </em>at the time of the <em><strong>Milnholme Cross,</strong> </em>then likely that is what the initials<em><strong> MA/AA</strong></em> stand for.</div>

<p align=”LEFT”><em><strong>Ulfberht,</strong></em> though may have some attachment to wolf, in the manner of usage it is felt the the word is evolved into <em><strong>sword</strong></em>. So <em><strong>ul</strong><strong>fberht</strong></em> means <em><strong>shiny sword.</strong></em><strong> </strong>Other swords of the day because of the forging process, may not have been so lustrous, giving other swords a more wrought appearance. The <em><strong>u</strong><strong>lfberht</strong></em> thought today doesn’t have it’s original luster at the time of creation, over the years, because of iron oxidation, of it’s outer exterior has taken this away.</p>
