Hi,
I think it may be a wrong call to be fair, since this message was posted we have moved back with the Ochiltree/Ocheltree family into Scotland.
Thanks anyway

Hi. This may be a red herring. but my grandmother's great friend in the 1920s was Edith (Edie) Ochiltree. I don't know if Edie came from Walthamstow, but my grandma came from Richmond or Mortlake in Surrey. Her name was Daisy Nappin, or married name Davey.

Re: Katherine Ochiltree

jbdharris — 2009-12-07 18:24:38Z

I was looking through a box my grandma gave me. It had Katherine's obituary and other family information inside. I am trying to find information on the Globes side of the family.

My grandma's parents were

Edward C. Nienaber
born 17 May 1882 in Durant, Iowa
died 30 Nov 1925 in Davenport, Iowa

married 8 Jan 1908 in Wilton Junction, Iowa

Esther M. Globes
born 6 Dec 1883 in Wilton Junction, Iowa
died 13 Oct 1956 in Artesia, California

I only know that Esther's father's name was George Globes.

I have a family picture of George, his wife, and Esther.

Do you have any information on Globes side of the family?

Wikipedia has an extensive article of Michael Ouchtred Ochiltree, Bishop of Dunblane Cathedral. I emailed the current pastor of that church and he advised me that most records from 1442 had been stored or lost in a transition of that old cathedral but that he would continue to look for any information.

Our Ochiltrees were born in Ayrshire Scotland, not Ochiltree Scotland and we were not Irish. I believe the Irish family may be cousins. Isaac Ochiltree is my ggg father...

-------------------------------------------------------

Ralph is the youngest son of Theodore and Nancy Jane [MOUDY] OCHELTREE of Montgomery County IN [see my posting of 2 June 2000 to this list]. He was married to Edna [?] of whom I know nothing.

Ralph and Edna seem to have been residents of Phoenix, Maricopa Co Arizona from, at least, 1919 until the mid to late 1960's. Ralph and Edna appear in the Phoenix phone book for 1960 and Edna appears alone in 1967.

They may have been the parents of a Robert L OCHELTREE and / or a Clifford OCHELTREE who also appear in these two phone books.

----------------------------------------------------------
I think that Nancy Jane Moudy's parents were Martin B. Moudy and Martha A. Mc Jimsey. No good verification though. Scribbles of a 1920 Montgomery County, Indiana census. Should have copied it. I have a picture of a Lydia Mc Jimsey taken in 1923 when she was 100 years old in Crawfordsville, Indiana taken by Mc Cormick.

Theodore Hurst OCHELTREE b 26 April 1847 Montgomery Co. IN. d 17 June 1932 Marion Co. IN.

MARRIED [1 April 1869, Montgomery Co. IN] TO:

Nancy Jane MOUDY b 12 Aug. 1853 Montgomery Co. IN d 14 June 1925 Montgomery Co. IN

PARENTS OF:

1.] Martin Bishop OCHELTREE [1871-1948] m. Lulu Idella VANCE

4.] Jerome Moudy OCHELTREE [1880-1948] m.1 Anna Mary PAYNE m.2 Marguerite L. MCKINSEY?
5.] Ralph C. OCHELTREE [1886-?] m. Edna ?

-----------------------------------------------------

Ken,
Glad to see that an OCHELTREE page has finally been added. I'm descended from Matthew, Alexander's brother. My line runs:

1.) Matthew OCHELTREE and Mary MAXWELL
2.) Thomas OCHELTREE and (?)
3.) Thomas Jefferson OCHELTREE and Elizabeth Jane COFFING
4.) Theodore Hurst OCHELTREE and Nancy Jane MOUDY
5.) Jerome Moudy OCHELTREE and Anna Mary PAYNE
6.) Clifford Jerome OCHELTREE and Lilly May DYSON
7.) Clifford Jerome OCHELTREE Jr. and Daisy Florence DE VOL
8.) Clifford Jerome OCHELTREE III

Yes, I know Railey kills Thomas off before 1799 without any children. She's wrong! Plan to prepare and post on this site some comments on this error and how Thomas survival and children can be proved.

That's all I can do for you today - Hope you have a Happy Father's Day tomorrow!

Clifford_Ocheltree — 2006-05-17 06:11:49Z

Can't help with your question but I've always been fascinated by the "other" Clifford J from St Louis.

My father, Clifford J OCHELTREE, was born in St Louis in 1926. There are so few Clifford's with either spelling, OCHELTREE or OCHILTREE, that it's quite quite surprising to see two born in the same place within such a short period of time.

Re: County Armagh

lfleming150 — 2005-11-06 01:25:23Z

That is just why we are referred to as ::::

Ulster Scots.....because the little guys in Scotland were sent to Northern Ireland to settle the frontier for 300 years.

Then they returned to Scotland around the time of the Battle of Culloden, after that ended, all armorial bearings were stripped from we little folk by the big barons, who took all the worldly goods and lands so they could raise sheep...then the little folk were stuffed into ships and sent to America and Australia as WHITE SLAVES, indentured to anyone who would have us....

Go on line and search for White Slavery Britain and you will be surprised how we white slaves were treated...

And as said before, we are SCOTs and not Scotch....

Re: Stewart/Ochiltree and Scotland/Ireland

Re: Stewart/Ochiltree and Scotland/Ireland

Hi Dan,
The names that I have noted recurring the most are: David, Andrew, Robert, Walter, DeWitt, Wilbur, Richard (only a couple), Luther, Marvin, Oliver(only a couple that I've seen)...thats about all I can recall that seem to be traditional, in a sense.

Hope this helps.

Re: Stewart/Ochiltree and Scotland/Ireland

2005-02-24 01:16:13Z

Hi Wilbur. Do you have any other names associated with your line.? I have been working for the last 3 years, including two trips to Ireland and Scotland, trying to accumulate a list of all the "Irish" Ochiltrees. The purpose is trying to get someone off and on a boat. It seems as though every other one is named David, Matthew or Michael so I am not having a lot of luck. I have accumulated quite a list however.

It is believe by most that we OGLETREES were originally OCHILTREES. Just when the change took place however has not been determined. In fact I have found an OGLETREE in Ireland in 1625 and a whole colony of them in Ireland in 1780. The latter bunch all migrated to Canada in about 1805 so cannot connect to them.

Appreciate any names you can provide.

Dan

Re: Stewart/Ochiltree and Scotland/Ireland

2005-02-12 07:30:37Z

Hi Barbara,
Well, many years ago I came across information which showed that a branch of the Stewart (Stuart?) Family was Created the first Baron Ochiltree. (Seems to be two different families of Ochiltree, entirely different, I suspect. The other coming from Ochiltree County in Scotland). This Baron Ochiltree and his branch somehow had to leave Scotland cause of peculinary (spelling?) embarassment and went to Ireland where they sort of started that religious problem there, or so it read. My great grand father David Ochiltree came to South Carolina from Ireland. Male names common to this branch are ie... David, Robert, Andrew, Walter, Wilbur, Dewitt..those are the main ones that come to mind. Im 52 now so my Great Grandfather came over in a fair guess, mind you, around 1910 or so. He was a shoemaker in Ireland and brought his profession with him here, he resided in Spartanburg SC. Hope this helps.

That theory has not been proven by anyone yet. In fact other researchers have discussed this and have pretty much ruled it out.

Merries in Ochiltree

WKnox4011 — 2001-07-08 06:23:17Z

Dan - have you come across any Merry/Merries in Ochiltree? I need John Merrie (later Merry) who married Margaret Smith on 11/4/1831 Ochiltree. He was born 1810-1811. His father was also John who married Janet Wallace on 7/17/1794 there. Any information onthem or any other family member is helpful.

Stewart/Ochiltree and Scotland/Ireland

Barbara I can help you solve a part of the discrepancies. I have spent many years researching and personnally copied more than 250 Ochiltree births and marriages in Scotland. Some of it you will have to take sides and believe what you want to - naturally most want to believe that we are royal.

First lets talk about Ayrshire. There is a little town there called Ochiltree and yes there was a Lord Ochiltree. He was actually a Stewart that adopted the name as a title, repeat title. The preposition was dropped and the Lord of Ochiltree became Lord Ochiltree. The surname Ochiltree was in use for many years before any Stewart adopted it in his title.

Now for Northern Ireland. Many Scotsmen settled in Northern Ireland before coming on to the colonies. It resulted in the coining of the incorrect phrase "Scotch-Irish". Scotch is a whiskey and Scot is a person. However it came into general use and stuck.

Mathew, Michael and possibly Alexander were born in Northern Ireland and their name was Ochiltree and their father was named Ochiltree. The did not, repeat did not, change their name from Stewart to Ochiltree on the way over on a ship for fear of their life. This is a made up tale. I personally copied the birth information on Mathew and Michael from the records office in Edinburgh.
I could not find Alexander.

Now you may take sides. I will be the first to admit that the only ones who agree with me are the Scots. I would only ask that when you post use only factual information or identify it as an opinion and do no "make up" tales to post.

Happy hunting!!!!

Sorry Barbara. It is Latter Day Saints. Their mission is to photostate every birth and marriage record in existence. I do not know what their percentage of completion is but man they are everywhere. They also have this huge library in Salt Lake City which can be accessed. I can not explain it but it has to do with the Morman religion.

Ok here we go. FTM is Family Tree Maker and I probably used it loosely. The actual site is genforum.genealogy.com

Here is an example of what you will run into on there. One lady told be recently that she has my line but cannot share it because she is afraid that I might try and use it to claim the throne. I am not kidding!!!!!! This lady is serious and posts on their all the time.

I forgot to mention that a herd of Ogletrees (my spelling) was found in Atrim, Northern Ireland. This is very rare. We all believe that we were all originally Ochiltrees but just cannot find out when the switch was made. This bunch mostly wound up in Canada.

Please do not think this is a bother. The sharing of information is how we will one day lick this thing. My Email addressees are dano3126@aol.com and ogletred@spawar.navy.mil

County Armagh

Barabra, I do know that my family came from county Armagh in Norhtern Irealnd, but previous to that from Scotland. I believe that when Ireland was being settled by the British my direct acendants must have gone over there to settle it.
