<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: cyan;">In the form Lowny, this surname is found in Maughold Register
from the beginning (1647), and there was a family of Looneys on the croft
Bwaillee Losht, below Ballafayle Kerrush, in the seventeenth century. The fact
that John Looney was “of Ramsey” in 1748 does not preclude the possibility of
him being a Maughold man, although we must admit that we have not yet found his
baptism in Maughold. His wife Margaret Kevin belonged to one of the Scottish families
who came to Ramsey in the eighteenth century to engage in business, and even in
her later years was a determined and masterful woman. On John’s death in 1770,
she married William Creetch of Ballachrinck, whom she also survived. In 1791
she settled her goods on her youngest son Ewan and his wife Mary Taggart, who
were to keep her “and live with their loving mother during her natural Life,
and to content her with a Decent Living as becometh a loving mother in her old
age”. This settlement was accepted as part of her will in 1798; and she had
also inserted a clause that if Ewan and Mary disagreed with her, she could go
anywhere else she pleased, taking her goods with her!<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: cyan;">By her marriage to John Looney, she had nine sons and one
daughter, and from six of these sons are descended all the Looneys of Maughold
at the time of the 1841 Census, and subsequently. The Parish Register often
refers to them as “Yack” (Jack) after their original ancestor. The eldest son
William was described in his father’s will as a “poor pitiable object”, and it
was the second son Daniel (1745-1826) who lived in Crowcreen after the parents’
deaths. The third son John (1748-1835) bought the intack Boshin and other land
near what became the Hibernian., the inn first opened by his son John and his
wife Rachel. The fourth son, Thomas, (c. 1750-1826), a shoemaker, bought part
of Ballagilley. The sixth son Robert (Robin) (1751-1826) bought East
Ballaterson (the White House) from an old established family of Callows, and
after the White House was sold to Thomas Quayle and his son John, in 1832,
Robin’s eldest son John and his family were farming from Croit ny kennipey (the
present Sexton’s house). The eight son, Patrick (1764-1816), was a stonemason,
a trade also followed by sons Patrick and Simeon. The youngest and favorite son
Ewan (b. 1766), for a long time tenant of Ballaglass, was the father of Joseph
later owner of Crowcreen and Magher e kew, of John who farmed the croft on the
lowers Ballaskeig Beg; and of George who was farming 30 acres of Ballagilley in
1851. <o:p></o:p></span></span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: cyan;">Sad to say, there have been no Looneys farming Maughold since
the War, although there are many descendants and relations of the family,
bearing different surnames, resident in the parish. <o:p></o:p></span></span></i></b></div>

<b><i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: cyan;">…we do know that there were two innkeepers in Maughold in 1841,
William Kissack of Ballagorry Beg, and Rachel Looney at the Hibernian.
[Footnote: No doubt so-called after Rachel herself, who was nee’ Redhead and
was of Irish extraction.]<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: cyan;">The Hibernian was the first of several inns whose existence
arose out of the improvement of the main road from Ramsey to Douglas and the
consequence increase in traffic. Their principal purpose was to serve travelers
rather than the local population, for indeed it would be difficult to say where
the biggest concentration of people in Maughold lay. From time to time the
number of travelers varied and so the fortunes of the inns was not constant. The
available evidence suggests that innkeeping did not provide a particularly good
living in Maughold in the nineteenth century….<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: cyan;">[The 1851 Census]…indicates that there was no licensed house in
the parish in 1851. Even the Hibernian, so popular in the 1830s, was in
temporary abeyance.<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: cyan;">The Hibernian was first mentioned in Pigot’s Directory of 1837. The
licensee was the most famous of all the Maughold innkeepers, the redoubtable
Rachel Looney. A description of her in 1834, when she was about 47, reads:<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: cyan;">“She was an odd figure, dressed in a blue petticoat of some sort
of cloth or flannel, surmounted by a man’s pilot jacket a good deal too long in
the sleeves. To obviate the inconvenience this would have caused, the cuffs
were turned back, displaying a large pair of muscular hands and wrists quite
out of proportion to her size, as she was considerable below the middle height…When
going into Ramsey she rode a large raw-boned carthorse on which what did for
duty for a saddle was a sack thrown across the animal’s back from which straw
might be seen sticking out. I then saw her come out exactly as before except
that instead of a sunbonnet on her head she wore a man’s hat of rough beaver.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: cyan;">(Quoted by Miss M. Douglas in the Manx Star, Jan 1974)<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: cyan;">From this description, it is easy to believe that she had a man’s
strength and a story which we have heard recently confirmed it. She employed
some men to build an extension to the house, and when they ran short of stone,
assured them that a supply would be ready on the following day. In order to
obtain this, she is said to have spent the whole night carrying stones down off
Barule in her brat (apron). But if she had the strength and resolution of a
man, she was also an excellent caterer , as Miss Mona Douglas has written:<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: cyan;">“But if costume was of the country style at the Hibernian,
amenities were exceptionally good for that period. The inn had its own brewery
and also a museum and an excellent library for residents.<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: cyan;">Weddings were occasions of great gaiety in those days and often
included a party of anything from 50 to 100 folks. The only honeymoon was
usually the wedding day itself, on which the whole party went for a long drive
after the wedding ceremony and then had dinner at an inn.<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: cyan;">At the Hibernian, Rachel, as she was called generally, would be
in her element providing for a weeding party arriving from Ramsey or Kirk
Maughold or even from Laxey or Douglas. <o:p></o:p></span></span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: cyan;">She would sever a substantial meal, which often included such
delicacies as fresh salmon, pigeon pies, lobster salad, roast duckings, lamb
and beef, succulent vegetables grown by herself, puddings, light pastries,
jellies and fresh fruit (all of these are from an actual menu).”<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: cyan;">By 1841, on account of financial difficulties on the island,
Rachel’s husband John Looney had emigrated to Australia, where she followed him
in 1843….In the 1880s the house ceased to be licensed, but it is still a well-known
private residence and landmark on the road, and has given its name to the
crossroads when it stands and the little group of houses surrounding. <o:p></o:p></span></span></i></b></div>

It doesn't take music to remind me of you, though, since you are in my mind every minute of the day. I go to sleep thinking of you and wondering if you are thinking of me. I wake up wondering if I am going to get a letter from you that day..."</span><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #4e453f; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Roger's heartsong was enchanting. He spoke to and of Margarette with such a whispering gentle love, an innocence that seems foreign in the modern world.</span><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #4e453f; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">He wrote nearly every day of songs on the radio, classes he was taking, the view from his University of South Carolina dorm window - all to his muse, a precious high school girl in the Port City.</span><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #4e453f; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">March 25, 1947: "Dearest, did I ever tell you how wonderful you are? Did I ever tell you how very, very much I love you? Or why it is that I love you so very much? Sometime when you have about a week to do nothing but listen to me talk I will tell you all of these things. It may take longer than a week..."</span><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #4e453f; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Catherine Britt found the letters in the attic of their Glendale Drive rental home in 2003, and she and her husband Jeremy toted the brittle correspondence around for a decade, wondering who the lovers were.</span><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #4e453f; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">The mystery drove the Britts to the library where they were able to find Margarette's class picture in the 1948 New Hanover High School yearbook.</span><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #4e453f; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">But beyond that, Margarette was an enigma. Sixty-six years later, the odds of finding her seemed insurmountable. There was no way to know if she or Roger were even still alive.</span><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #4e453f; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">"We kept the letters because we felt her or her family would like a part of her history," Catherine said. "When we moved from that house we had packed them up and had forgotten about them until I came across them going through some old totes."</span><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #4e453f; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Each letter ends almost the same, "Yours and yours alone, Roger."</span><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #4e453f; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">And as abruptly as the letters began, they ended. Nothing was resolved. In addition to wondering who the people were, the outcome of their relationship also was a mystery.</span><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #4e453f; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">The letters from Roger begin in 1945.</span><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #4e453f; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Dec. 28, 1945: "I had wonderful Christmas but there was still one thing missing -- we'll discuss that when I see you again."</span><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #4e453f; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">The last indication of contact between the two was an empty envelope postmarked March 1948.</span><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #4e453f; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">There were no public records in Wilmington, outside of the yearbook, that listed Margarette Abrams. And property records for the house where the letters were found proved useless. Short of driving to Florence, S.C., records for Roger proved fairly elusive too. But elusive and impossible are two different things.</span><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #4e453f; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">The Past Meets the Present</span><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #4e453f; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">The Internet, which has made almost obsolete hand-written love letters like Margarette's, helped unlock the mystery.</span><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #4e453f; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Through obituaries, birth records and newspaper clippings, Margarette and Roger were found.</span><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #4e453f; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">"I can't believe it," Margarette, 84, sighed from her home in Asheboro when she learned her love letters were still around. The last she knew she'd left them with her sister in Wilmington when she moved away. She'd been meaning to ask Martha what happened to them, but never got around to it. And now Martha is gone. Margarette's best guess is that Martha put them in the attic to store them, and the proclamations of enduring love were accidentally left behind.</span><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #4e453f; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Roger, 86, married and retired, was also surprised that the letters existed.</span><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #4e453f; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">"I've often thought of Margarette," he said.</span><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #4e453f; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">He said a mutual friend would occasionally mention speaking with her, but the two had no contact since 1948.</span><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #4e453f; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Beyond that, he was uninterested in rehashing the past. Margarette, a private person by nature, was also initially reluctant to speak publicly. But after giving it some thought, she said, she had a change of heart.</span><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #4e453f; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">"I was really hoping that this could be something beautiful. People are clamoring for something from the old times. And that's the reason why I will talk about it," she said.</span><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #4e453f; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Margarette was 3 years old in 1932 when her mother died following the birth of the last of her six children. Seven years later, when she was 10, she lost her father and the Abrams children were parceled out to family.</span><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #4e453f; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">In 1944, after Margarette's sister Martha married and moved to Wilmington, Margarette joined her. The letters in the attic cache proved other suitors courted the beautiful Margarette through post, but Roger, a school mate she left behind in Florence, was the most prolific and lasting.</span><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #4e453f; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">"He said the most wonderful things," she recalled. "I think the reason why I never forgot him is because he treated me like a lady. He was the most gentlemanly human being I'd ever met."</span><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #4e453f; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Oct. 15, 1947: "I love you darling. You are always uppermost in my conscious mind. You are the most important thing in my whole life, and always will be. You are my inspiration and my spirit and I am thoroughly convinced that you are the only one in the world who could handle that position... I'm looking forward to the time when I can give you a big promotion."</span><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #4e453f; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Courtship in the 1940s was unlike the modern era. Most girls didn't do anything more than hold hands and snuggle, Margarette said, and she was no exception.</span><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #4e453f; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">"Now if a person dates for two months, the guy expects you to go to bed with them. It would be so good for the young people to see how it used to be," she said.</span><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #4e453f; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">For Roger and Margarette, marriage seemed in the cards. But she was still in high school in Wilmington and he was in college 127 miles away.</span><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #4e453f; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Then something happened that was not explained in the letters.</span><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #4e453f; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Even to this day, Margette didn't need a letter to remind her.</span><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #4e453f; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">"His friend told him I was unfaithful," she said with a growl.</span><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #4e453f; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">At first Margarette pleaded with Roger to believe her, but he cut off all communication.</span><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #4e453f; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">"I was miserable," she said.</span><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #4e453f; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">After three weeks of silence, her brother-in-law arrived with a letter for her. It was from Roger.</span><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #4e453f; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">In it, Roger apologized for disbelieving Margarette, she said.</span><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #4e453f; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">"He said that he just couldn't stand it anymore and he was sorry and that he would just like me to forgive his jealous rage," she said.</span><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #4e453f; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Margarette's reply - she is convinced - changed her life forever.</span><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #4e453f; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">"I wrote him back and said, ‘You should have thought about that three weeks ago,'" she recalled, her voice catching in her throat. "I've regretted it ever since."</span><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #4e453f; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Life Goes On</span><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #4e453f; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Shortly after the devastating break up, Margarette met and married a dashing and equally smitten boy she worked with at the Walgreens in Winston-Salem, where she lived after graduation. From that union came two boys, Jody and Scott.</span><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #4e453f; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Margarette is now a grandmother of three. Her husband, David, died in 1998 after 49 years of marriage. Four years later, she lost her Jody to cancer. She's been around the world and not strayed far from home. She's welcomed dozens of babies and said goodbye to some. She's lost everything to a hurricane and has rebuilt her life.</span><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #4e453f; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">She's happy, and funny, and active and kind.</span><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #4e453f; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">In her immaculate home Monday, with her face nearly touching the yellowed pages so she could see, Margarette held the letters in her hands for the first time this millennium. The news of their discovery brought back memories of a time gone by.</span><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #4e453f; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">

Part 2<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><i><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: #0070c0; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">In an effort to determine if Francisco Juan Espineta
is the same person as “Juan Espinosa,” John Spinholster, and John Pinholster,
this is a summary of the documentation I have found up to this point (22 April
2017). <o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"><b><i><span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">From the following we can determine that Francisco Juan
Espineta was born in 18 Mar 1773 in New Smyrna, Mosquitos, East Florida and
christened the next day. About 1777 the family fled to Saint Augustine. Francisco’s
father Josef was a sailor with his own
boat and Francisco also became a sailor serving on the ships San Pedro and San
Agustin. In September of 1794 Francisco became too ill to work and requested
his position on the San Augustin be filled. By September 1795, Francisco’s
father requested part of his son’s wages to pay for Francisco’s mother’s (Maria
Triay) funeral. In 1796 Francisco’s ship had delivered documents to Savannah,
Georgia. When his father wrote his will in 1820, Josef Espineta stated: “</span></i></b><em><b><span style="color: #0070c0; font-size: 12pt;">Son
Juan Francisco left St Augustine more than 25 years ago and believed dead</span></b></em><em><span style="color: #0070c0; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">.” </span></em><em><b><span style="color: #0070c0; font-size: 12pt;">These seem to indicate that Francisco
Espineta left Saint Augustine about 1796. If he fled to Savannah, he could have
travelled up the Savannah River as far as it allowed (Augusta, Georgia and
across the river in Edgefield County, South Carolina). The earliest record found for John Pinholster
is the 1820 Census in Liberty County, Georgia. John and Delilah Pinholster’s
oldest son, David, was born in 1797 in South Carolina, so the timeline does
match up for Francisco Espineta to be John Pinholster. </span></b></em><em><span style="color: #0070c0; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;"> </span></em><b><i><span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"><o:p></o:p></span></i></b></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><i><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: #0070c0; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">Francisco Juan Espineta was born about 6 in the
evening on 18 Mar 1773 in New Smyrna, Mosquitos, East Florida, the son of Jose
Espineta and Maria Triay, a married couple. Pedro Camps was the priest at his
christening on 19 Mar 1773 at Saint Pedro’s Parish Church, New Smyrna. His
godparents were Rafael Arnandez and Margarita Arnandez. The events were
recorded by Father Camps in what is now known as Father Pedro Camps’ Golden
Book of the Minorcans. <o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><i><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: #0070c0; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">Francisco’s father was Josefa Jose Espineta, born
about 1748 in Mahon, Minorca, to Juan Francisco Espineta and Juanta Cintas.
Francisco’s mother was Maria Triay, daughter of Sebastian Triay and Magdalena
del Pozo, who was born about 1739 in Ciudadela, Minorca. Josefa was married in
Minorca about 1767 to Elizabet Henandez, who probably died on the voyage to New
Florida or in the early years of the colony. Josefa and Maria married about
1771 in New Smyrna. <o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><i><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: #0070c0; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">Josefa and Maria had come to New Smyrna, in Spanish
East Florida, in 1768 with more than 1200 immigrants who were indentured under
the Englishman Andrew Turnbull to work in future indigo plantations, for which
they would be given land. They were to serve for 6 to 8 years, after which each
family would receive 50 acres, and each child 5 acres. By 1777 Turnbull had not
made the transfers and many had died. The survivors were sick and starving, and
over 600 fled to Saint Augustine. <o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><i><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: #0070c0; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">After they arrived in Saint Augustine, many of the
survivors testified as to their experiences in Turnbull’s colony. The below
depositions of Pietro Musquetto mention Josef Spinata, who is probably Josef
Espineta, and Mathew Trei (Triay), who
may be related to Maria Triay.<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>

the said Nichola Moveritte came there and beat him very severely with a large
stick and this Dept. says that the said Anthony Musquitto died within two hours
after and believes that the beating he received, together with being put on
half allowance was the cause of his death, and this Dept. further saith that he
hath been always badly used and severely beat by the said Nichola Moveritte and
always told this Dept. that he would kill him as well as he killed his father

Here is the link: <a href="http://mcveigh.one-name.net/">McVeigh One-Name Study</a> . My goal is to trace as many McVeigh (McVay, McVey, and other variants) lines as I can for those born before 1900. I have added 3 McVeigh trees with data which I had previously collected: James Lawrence McVeigh Family, Hugh McVay Family, and Timothy McVeigh Family. I have also started one large one-name study tree, which includes the McVeigh lines from those previous trees and new research.<br />
<br />
My first goal was to track the McVeighs on the Isle of Man. I have added those on the Manx Censuses (1841-1911) to the new McVeigh tree. While tracking them, I also found some other (mainly parish) records, which I have also included. Most of the Manx McVeighs came from Ireland and many of those were from County Down. Tracing County Down McVeighs will probably be my next goal, although the surviving censuses for County Down are only 1901 and 1911.<br />
<br />
I have included a map of all the McVeighs in the United Kingdom on the 1881 Census. This was created using <a href="http://www.archersoftware.co.uk/satlas01.htm">Surname Atlas</a> , which is a really cool software program that will map any surname that occurs in the 1881 Census.<br />

I have joined the <a href="http://one-name.org/">Guild of One-Name Studies</a>. I have registered the surname McVeigh and one of my goals is to to trace all the McVeighs in Scotland, Ireland, England and the Isle of Man prior to 1900 and then to mainly the US. Known variants are McVey and McVeagh. I am also interested in tracting the distribution of the name: Geogenealogy.<br />
<br />
I may have bit off way more than I can chew. <br />
