Special thanks to Dustin DuFort Petty for sending this photo, and for permission to post it. This is a reunion, circa 1900, of the descendants of George Sutherland (son of Thomas) and his three wives. Dustin also has provided the names of all in the photo, but wonders if anyone can identify the painting in the background: is it George? It would make a certain amount of sense given the context. But I've never seen another image of him to compare.Back row: Warren Russell and Laura Sutherland Russell (George’s daughter and her husband); Minnie Bassett (George’s granddaughter, by Euphemia); Josiah Good (George’s grandson by Mary) with his wife Mary; George and Augusta Sutherland (son and daughter-in-law of George).
Front row: Rev. Roland Cross (son of our George’s third wife from her first marriage); Janet Sutherland Black (George’s eldest daughter); Mary McLean Cross Sutherland (George's third wife); Tom and Susanna (Parkinson) Sutherland (George’s eldest son); and in the very front is a son of the Goods.
Thanks to Adrienne for correcting Susanna's name.
I'm a great-great-grandson of Janet Sutherland Black. I really appreciate the research you have shared on this fascinating blog.
ReplyDeleteI have been looking for links to Whittet, Cross, McLean, "Blackie" Scot, Drummond, but until now not Sutherland.
ReplyDeleteMy ancestors were married on board ship as they embarked for the New World
where they arrived about 1830 making their way to Detroit and later
Sarnia in Lambton County, Ontario where they were among the founders.
"From there the Whittets spread out to NY, MN, OK, KN, TC, CA, FL, MA, RI...
you can get a good idea where by searching for whittet on Google maps.
"Margaret Cross Whittet, born c.1810, wife of William Whittet b. c.1804,
whose sister, Jane, died at birth. They were the parents of Rowland Cross Whittet, my g grandfather.
"Margaret was the daughter of Henry Cross who was the forester of Kinfauns.
"Henry Cross married a second wife Ishbel Drummond of Methven in 1807
and died of Typhus in 1824. His surviving children were Henry, Jessica,
Margaret, William, Charles, Rowland and George with Jane dying at birth
and Belle and Rebecca Dying of the Typhus epidemic that killed their father.
"Rowland Cross, who was a jointer, married Mary McLean,
the daughter of John McLean who was living in St Clair.
"Margaret Cross married William Whittet who was the foreman of the
farm laborers of the Kinfauns estate. They were married on board the boat
that took them to Detroit in 1834. From there they moved to a 100 acre lot
in St Clair about a mile from John McLean where they were visited by
Rowland Cross who ended up marrying Mary McLean.

Hi Jennifer
ReplyDeleteNot to nitpick (and I know you got information from someone else) but it is Susanna (Parkinson), not Susan, who is Tom's wife in front row. Their daughter was Bell Winning Pendergast, the writer of the Sutherland History. PS Thanks to you, I did find the write-up Bell did on the Parkinson Family. Thank you for that.
