Re: Introduction

I had never heard of the SPOWs until I did the Familytree Y dna test to find out more about my paternal ancestry. The results came back and said that at a genetic distance of 15 (about 350-400 years ago) my surname was Chisholm and they were Scottish.I called FTDNA and said that I can trace my ancestry to 1659 in Salisbury Ma. and they were English. He said dna does not lie and I said there weren't any Scottish people in America in 1659 and he said well I don't know what to tell you. That's when I came across the names of SPOWs on the Unity. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw prisoner #13 Duncan Chisholm. I then got a direct match to a known descendant named Chesemore- UNBELIEVABLE !
Almost 400 years later. Thanks to all who donate their time and effort to the SPOW Society.

Thank you for coming to my rescue regarding SPOWS Facebook messages.

I have received an email from Trevor Gibbs about a free copy of his novel ‘Relics of a Saint’.

 

I am happy to receive SPOWS Facebook entries here in East Anglia, yet I am working hard on community and writing projects of my own.

 

I feel it best not to have my email address included/copied in to personal or general group emails. Though I would wish to inform The Group about future activities celebrating the work of the Scottish soldiers as prisoners-of-war, on The New Bedford River which they constructed during 1651-53…a river drain which prevent this area of possibly devastating floods.

 

I wish still to know of activities and receive SPOWS Facebook entries and appreciate very much being able to see information, happenings and events posted by SPOWS.

 

Please let me know the best, most effective way of following SPOWS Group on Facebook, but not to be in receipt of exchange emails on topics of general interest. I would not wish to unsubscribe. How may this be sorted, if at all? I do not wish to receive any communication by email to this email address, it is rather a more personal use of my email system. I am, however, in touch by email to named members of SPOWS regarding future events here in the fens on The Word Garden Facebook page which I am presently updating.

Thanks Trevor. I have heard that the Barbados SPOW might have been officers and rather than going to Durham Cathedral were held (maybe in a castle) on the East Coast - thinking it was Tynemouth.
But as I understand it, we just don't have records to confirm.

Hi Nanette
Relics of a Saint: A Barbados Mystery is the story of a Scots POW from the battle of Dunbar in 1650 being sent to the island of Barbados as an indentured servant after being imprisoned in  Durham Cathedral by CRomwell.
I am not descended from the POWS but from the Scottish Covenanters also shipped out to the Caribbean.

I am happy to receive SPOWS Facebook entries here in East Anglia, yet I am working hard on community and writing projects of my own.

 

I feel it best not to have my email address included/copied in to personal or general group emails. Though I would wish to inform The Group about future activities celebrating the work of the Scottish soldiers as prisoners-of-war, on The New Bedford River which they constructed during 1651-53…a river drain which prevent this area of possibly devastating floods.

 

I wish still to know of activities and receive SPOWS Facebook entries and appreciate very much being able to see information, happenings and events posted by SPOWS.

 

Please let me know the best, most effective way of following SPOWS Group on Facebook, but not to be in receipt of exchange emails on topics of general interest. I would not wish to unsubscribe. How may this be sorted, if at all? I do not wish to receive any communication by email to this email address, it is rather a more personal use of my email system. I am, however, in touch by email to named members of SPOWS regarding future events here in the fens on The Word Garden Facebook page which I am presently updating.

 

I am wondering how my personal email address has been used on this occasion. Perhaps it is on some earlier personal contact??

 

Best wishes,

At the very bottom of each email there is an unsubscribe link. It is all blue letters. Just click on that and you will be unsubscribed.

Jean, You would have had to sign up to this group to receive emails from it.  I have no idea how to unsubscribe, so I am going to contact Teresa who started it for advice.  Sue Raymond

Hi Nancy
I am just doing a revision of the book which will be available soon on Amazon and the other online stores, the first version is currently there at the moment. The second version covers some feedback that I received on the first one.

Trevor,
    My ancestor was Alexander MacGregor who was in the battle of Worcester in 1651 and indentured to the colonies via Barbados.  I would be very interested in having a copy of your book.  Can I purchase one on Amazon?  Thanks,  Nancy

Hi Nanette
Relics of a Saint: A Barbados Mystery is the story of a Scots POW from the battle of Dunbar in 1650 being sent to the island of Barbados as an indentured servant after being imprisoned in  Durham Cathedral by CRomwell.
I am not descended from the POWS but from the Scottish Covenanters also shipped out to the Caribbean.
