De Falbe, table. These Macarthurs are off the line Strachur/Argyll. As a Scot, this Alexander had fought at Culloden against the English. All his brothers were killed there. Bickel on Eliz M., table, p. 1. See also Mowle's Genealogy.
This item (CODE-A) is placed as a note from author/compiler to reader to explain the forms of citation used, and some of the information presented in these web pages. The pages will be updated from time to time as information input the database used is edited and improved. The database used - truly excellent software and always problem-free - is Personal Ancestral File (PAFV5) as distributed by Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints; a free download from the Net. The information presented here has been compiled in various DOS or Windows-based versions of PAF since 1993.
The basic purpose of the sets of pages is to present family histories grouped in terms of a history of economic operators in colonial Australia, 1788-1900. Or, on economic operators living outside Australia who nevertheless had some impact on Australian commercial/business activities. Thus, the pages are more for purposes of economic history, not family history or genealogy as such. Hopefully, the information presented will enable the user more conveniently to filter information on the commercial folk of Australian colonies and their links to folk in India, London, or England and Scotland generally, much as is already possible with the use of websites concerned with business histories various of London, Bristol, Liverpool, Glasgow, Edinburgh, New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Newport Rhode Island,and so on. In general, I have tried to press genealogies as far back into the past as is possible. The notes to individuals are given in the order in which the information came to hand - which is why many notes seem to have been gathered willy-nilly - they were! And often gathered in haste due to time pressures.
Generally, the book titles referred to in notes to individuals - book titles often highly abbreviated - will be listed more fully in my bibliography pages available on the Internet. As to book titles: "Burke's Extinct" refers to: John Burke and John Bernard Burke, A Genealogical and Heraldic History of Extinct and Dormant Baronetcies of England, Ireland and Scotland. Second edition. London, John Russell Smith. [Facsimile of the 1964 edition].
"Burke's P&B" refes to any one of many editions of Burke's Peerage and Baronetage I have consulted. Re "GEC" - the page number(s) given are to the page numbers of the volume in question, which are alphabetical for the title name, not the actual surname, in: Vicary Gibbs, (Ed.) (GEC), The Complete Peerage of England, Scotland, Ireland, Great Britain and the United Kingdom. [Extinct, extant or dormant]. London, St. Catherine's Press, 1910. Where, we note, Gibbs, GEC, was a member of a noted family of British bankers! "Mowle's Genealogy" refers to a basic set of genealogies for Australians - L. M. Mowle, A Genealogical History of Pioneer Families of Australia. Fifth edition. Sydney, Rigby, 1978. "NSW" is New South Wales, the compiler's home state in Australia.
Mostly, re abbreviations various: "http" or "http loose" refers to a website with URL not noted, which just happened to provide extra data on an individual. "DC" refers to Duncan Campbell (1726-1803), the overseer of the Thames River Prison Hulks. "Bligh" refers to William Bligh, Captain of HM Bounty and later a governor of New South Wales. As first name abbreviations: Jas = James, Wm = William, Chas = Charles, Thos = Thomas, Eliz = Elizabeth.
I have not by any means read all book titles itemised in these web pages. However, the user of these web pages will find continued use of the Internet a valuable resource for rounding out any points of interest found here.
