New York and parents born Germany, and 2 boarders, Albert Johnson (age 30, b. Sweden) and William R. Atherley (age 27, b. Scotland).2
Occupation		Huyler worked as a Police Officer.
Anecdote, Family		Larry Kloess related that Louise was the secretary to the CEO of the Lifesaver Company, who married Louise's sister. This is interesting because Auntie, Margaret Holly, who was Huyler's cousin, was a bookkeeper at the Lifesaver Company.

Anecdote, Family	2005	Larry Kloess, Jr., remembers that Huyler "finished Port Chester High School and met Louise Hartlieb while he worked in her father's business called Hartlieb's Meat Market in Port Chester. Aunt Louise's sister was married to the president and CEO of Lifesavers, Inc., a candy company in Port Chester. Aunt Louise was his executive secretary for many years. Uncle Huyler joined the Port Chester Police Department and spent a career there and badge #1 upon retirement. He was a big man whom I was afraid of as a young child. He was a no nonsense tough type of guy. He would wear his sungoggles as a motorcycle officer in his early days. He set records pulling people over for speeding or reckless driving. He would hide out in bushes waiting for speedsters. He never gave warnings. His reputation was that he would arrest his own mother for traffic violations. I grew fonder of him in later years. He could cook great Italian meals. He and Louise lived in a pretty house that they built out from Port Chester. They lived long lives together without children. He died of cancer in the late 60s."3

James McQueen

Parents

Immigrant from Scotland

Biography

Birth	17 November 1792	James McQueen was born on 17 November 1792 in Moy and Dalarossie, Inverness, Scotland.1,2
Baptism	24 November 1792	He was baptized on 24 November 1792 in Moy and Dalarossie, Inverness, Scotland. Macqueen James Lawful Son to Donald McQueen & Jannet Macphail Bellimore was born 17th & Bap. 24th November. James McPhail in Edinkilly and John Walkster [?] in Aldern witnesses. See attached. There are two churches in the parish of Moy and Dalarossie. Moy Church is on Loch Moy, and Dalarossie Church is 9 miles southeast on the Findhorn. There are 41 McQueens listed in the Moy Church graveyard on billiongraves. There are 7 Macqueens listed in Dalarossie on findagrave.2
Marriage	7 June 1817	He and Elizabeth Mitchell were married on 7 June 1817 in Ardclach, Nairnshire, Scotland, OPR reads, "June 7th Then were contracted in order to marriage James Macqueen and Elizabeth Mitchell both in this parish.3
Residence	1818	As of 1818 James lived in Ardclach, Nairnshire, Scotland, based on the birth of their daughter Margaret there.
Residence	1821	As of 1821 James lived in Burghead, Moray, Scotland, based on the birth of their daughter Jannet there in 1821. All their children after Margaret were born in Burghead, except for David, who was born in Elgin in 1826. Burghead is a small town on the coast, northwest of Elgin, in the parish of Duffus, Morayshire.
Residence	1826	As of 1826 James lived in Elgin, Morayshire, Scotland, James is listed as "Carpenter in Elgin" on David's baptismal record in August of 1826.
Residence	1829	As of 1829 James lived in Burghead, Moray, Scotland, based on the birth of their children James (1829), William (1832) and Elizabeth (1833) in Burghead. So it is likely that James worked as a carpenter for about 15 years in Burghead before his emigration to the United States. Perhaps he was a ship's carpenter, because the record of his second marriage lists him as a shipwright. If he was a ship's carpenter, that may have been a connection between him and William Henry Holly, Margaret's future husband, who was also a ship's carpenter. Burghead was an important Pictish fortress and port from as early as the AD300s. The headland projecting north west into the Moray Firth was heavily defended with ditches and ramparts on all sides. At the landward end of the headland there were three rows of these defenses, each 800 ft. long positioned in an arrowhead shape. The seafaring Picts lived for up to 500 years. The evidence suggests that the fortifications were finally overrun and destroyed in the 800s, probably by the Danes. The Danes were in turn eventually expelled from this part of the country by the Scots in 1010. In 1750, the Stephen family began to build ships in the small fishing village that had developed here. In 1793 most of the earthworks from the Pictish fortress still remained, believed at the time to be relics from an age of Viking pirates. Everything changed in 1805. The village and surrounding land was bought by William Young of Inverugie, who laid out a much larger settlement on a regular, gridded street plan. From 1807 the harbour seen today was built by Thomas Telford, complete with surrounding three-story stone warehouses, three of which remain. A coastguard station and fish curing facilities were also built from 1807, and Burghead rapidly became an important herring fishing port. The result was a thriving town, but in the process most of the Pictish fortifications were obliterated and only partial remains can be seen around the outer end of the headland. By 1834 Burghead was important enough to warrant a regular steamer service to Glasgow via the Caledonian Canal, calling at Cromarty en route. And it was also home to 40 fishing boats. The New Statistical Account of Scotland, 1835, for Duffus says: "This parish is distant about three miles (at the south border) from Elgin, the market, post, and county town, with which it enjoys easy communication by means of a turnpike road at its west, and a good commutation road at its east end. Duffus, Hopeman, Burghead, and Port-Cumming are the principle villages in the parish of Duffus. The principal land-owners in the parish are, Sir Archibald Dunbar of Northfield, Baronet, and his eldest son Archibald Dunbar, Esq. to which family half the parish belongs; Sir William Gordon Cumming of Altyre and Gordonstown, Bart.; Charles L. Cumming Bruce, Esq. of Roseisle and Kinnaird; William Stuart, Esq. of Inverugie; Thomas Brander, Esq. of Roseislehaugh; and William Young Esq. of Burghead. The whole resident population of the parish of Duffus in the year 1662, inferred from the average number of baptisms in that and the two succeeding years, as compared with those of 1831, was 1482 souls; and they appear to have resided chiefly in the four villages of Burghead, Roseisle, Kaim, and Kirktown, and in the hamlets of College, Buthill, Starwood, Inskiel, and Unthank. The population in 1801 was 1389, in 1811, 1623, and in 1821, the count was 1950. There are three kinds of fishing carried on in this parish, viz, the salmon, herring, and the white fisheries. Shell-fish are not abundant, but the supply of all the ordinary varieties of white fish is plentiful and excellent. About eighty boats are generally congregated in autumn for the herring, and ten boats employed during the year at the white fishing. The parish church, (of which Sir A. Dunbar of Northfield is patron,) is very inconveniently situated at the eastern extremity of the parish; which evil, however, is less felt, since the erection of a chapel of ease at Burghead. There is a chapel of ease to the Established church situated at Burghead, the clergyman of which is paid partly by the seat rents, and partly by the Society for Propagating Christian Knowledge and the Committee for managing the Royal Bounty. There is a Secession meeting-house in the village of Burghead, but not always open, from the scantiness and poverty of the congregation. An Episcopalian chapel, near Kaim, is attended by a very limited by respectable congregation. Fully three-fourths of the population however attend the Established Church; and twelve families are Episcoplians. The number of communicants at the parish church is about 400." From “New Statistical Account of Scotland”, 1835
Death of Spouse	about 1835	About 1835, James suffered the loss of his spouse. It is assumed that Elizabeth died at some point after the birth of her last child Elizabeth in June of 1833, and before James emigrated in 1836. A burial record has not been found. Births and marriages were carefully recorded in the parish records, but deaths, not being a sacrament, were seldom recorded.
Witness	19 March 1836	He was a witness.4
Witness	9 April 1836	He was a witness.5
Witness	16 March 1836	He was a witness.6
Marriage	12 April 1836	He and Margaret Baxter were married on 12 April 1836 in Duffus, Moray, Scotland, "McQueen & Baxter: James McQueen sp.wright, in Burgh-head & Margaret Baxter, Spinster, in Rosiles, were married on banns, 12th April 1836." This marriage took place 3 days before boarding the ship for New York. This compiler believes that "married on banns" means that the obligatory 3 readings of the banns took place on the day of marriage. This could be done for a fee, called the "caution" (pronounced kay-shun). The timing of this marriage raises tantalizing questions of the personal aspects of this marriage, so few days before leaving Scotland forever. We don't know how long James had been a widow. We can only wonder what 18-year-old Margaret McQueen may have felt about her new step-mother. What had happened to the other children, who did not join the newly married couple on the voyage?7
Immigration	15 April 1836	He immigrated on 15 April 1836 to New York on the Barque Clio, which left Leith on April 6, 1836, and picked up additional passengers in Cromarty and departed Cromarty for New York on 15 April 1836, and arrived in New York on 11 Jun 1836. The passenger list shows James, age 43, carpenter Margaret, 40, wife Margaret, 18, spinster David, 7 James, 5 The Marine List of 10 Jun 1836 Evening Post, New York, lists the Clio arriving "This Forenoon": "Br barque Clio, Young, 44 ds fm Louth, with mdze to Boorman & Johnson -- 55 passengers."
Witness	22 April 1836	He was a witness.
Census	1840	He appeared in the census 1840 at Ward 15 in New York City, New York County, New York. James is listed as: This James McQueen does not appear in 1830. This may be some totally unrelated James McQueen, but I am entering it in order to keep my research organized. 1 boy under 5, 2 males 20-29, 1 male 30-39, one girl under 5, one female 20-29, one female 40-49. This does not match with the family that we conjecture may have come in 1836, because the ship passenger list shows David and James, who were born in 1826 and 1829, and shows James, Sr. as 40 and Margaret as 43. James, born in 1792, was 48 at this time.8
Census	30 July 1850	He appeared in the census 30 July 1850 at Ward 9 in Brooklyn, Kings County, New York. James is listed as: This census record is entered just in case it turns out to be relevant, but this may be an unrelated James. He is shown as age 60, Cartman, b. Scotland, with Margaret McQueen, age 52, b. Scotland.9
Census	7 October 1855	He appeared in the census 7 October 1855 at 9th Ward in Brooklyn, Kings County, New York. James is listed as: Listed as age 63, born in Scotland, 20 years residence in city, Carpenter, Alien (as opposed to the other listings of Native or Naturalized), with wife Margaret, age 58, born in Scotland, Alien.10
Directory	1856	As of 1856 James was listed in the Brooklyn, Kings County, New York, directory at Bedford Ave near Atlantic Ave. carpenter11
Directory	1857	As of 1857 James was listed in the Brooklyn, Kings County, New York, directory at Atlantic near Clove Rd. carpenter12
Directory	1858	As of 1858 James was listed in the Brooklyn, Kings County, New York, directory at Railroad Ave near Nostrand Ave. carpenter13
Census	10 July 1860	He appeared in the census 10 July 1860 at Ward 9 District 2 in Brooklyn, Kings County, New York. James is listed as: James McQuin, age 68, b. Scotland, with Margaret, age 61, also b. Scotland. Living between a blacksmith from Ireland and a grocer from Ireland.14
Directory	1862	As of 1862 James was listed in the Brooklyn, Kings County, New York, directory at Schuyler near Clove Rd. carpenter15
Death	26 July 1862	He died on 26 July 1862. Ancestry has a record in the New York, New York Extracted Death Index 1862-1948, Certificate # 1567, age 70, i.e., born about 1792. The name is spelled James McQuinn. This may well be the correct person, because he does not appear in a directory after 1862. At one point I thought that the Green-wood Cemetery burial of 27 Mar 1874 may have been our James, but on requesting the paperwork in 2014, found that it was another family. He was from Pittston, PA, born in Scotland but not until 1846. Attached, Death certificate
Note	1863	In 1863:. City Directories from 1863 through 1871 were checked and James is not listed. From 1863 through 1866, there are listings for Margaret McQueen, widow, which are detailed under Margaret's information.16

Elizabeth Mitchell

Parents

Biography

Birth	about 1798	Elizabeth Mitchell was born about 1798 in Scotland. The parish records do not show an Eliza born to David and Margaret. This is speculation on my part, based on the names on the sampler, and other factors. The first two children, George and Janet, were born in Edinkillie, and the last three boys in Ardclach. Possibly they were in the process of moving at the time Elizabeth was born, and therefore did not register her birth.
Marriage	7 June 1817	James McQueen and she were married on 7 June 1817 in Ardclach, Nairnshire, Scotland, OPR reads, "June 7th Then were contracted in order to marriage James Macqueen and Elizabeth Mitchell both in this parish.1
Death	between June 1833 and 1836	She died between June 1833 and 1836 in Scotland This is conjecture based on the birth of her daughter Elizabeth in June 1833, and the second marriage of James and Margaret Baxter in 1836.

David Mitchell

Biography

Research Note		If they followed the naming convention, we would expect David's parents to be named George Mitchell and Elizabeth, and we would expect Margaret's parents to be named Janet and James Cumming
Birth	1771	David Mitchell was born in 1771 in Scotland. 1841 Census states born outside Nairn County.1
Marriage	25 January 1793	He and Margaret Cumming were married on 25 January 1793 in EdinKillie, Moray, Scotland,2
Church Affiliation	1800	As of 1800, David was affiliated with Ardclach Church, in Ardclach, Nairnshire, Scotland. as reflected in the parish records. According to Stuart Farrell's 1997 survey of the church memorials, "the church at Ardclach is situated at the foot of a glade next to the River Findhorn. It has served as the parish church for over 200 years. Inhumations have taken place here from its earliert beginnings and continue to the present day. The First Statistical Account records that Ardclach comes from the gaelic meaning 'stony high ground'. In 1618 the parish was united with the nearby parish of Edenkillie (now in Moray) and was registered in its own right by the Kirk Session upon the 8th October 1648. The present church at Ardclach was built in 1765 (by Andrew McAndrew) replacing an earlier church of 1626. Reconstructed in 1839 at a cost of £500 (by George Dunbar and John Wilson) and renovated in 1892 (by Alexander Reid). The church of 1830 had seating for 686. The furnishings of the church have been transferred to the present parish church, which was formerly Ardclach Free Church. At present [i.e, 1997] the church is disused and its future uncertain. The church is T-shaped in plan, built of yellow sandstone rubble with a slate roof."3
