Helen
Widener, of Clan Mackay, is working on a Scottish
recipes book. The idea behind the book is that a clan
will be featured, with a link to the clan's website and
(if permission is given) a plaid from the society --
then recipes that have been contributed by clan members
will follow, along with stories about where the recipe
came from and/or about the person that made them. Helen
will take the recipes and compare them to some
"old" Scottish recipes -- if there is an older
version, she will print them both (the "old"
recipe and the "modern" recipe). So... submit
away!This book is intended to be offered to the clan
societies at wholesale prices for resale as a
fundraising item, and will also be offered as a retail
purchase for those of you interested in obtaining a copy
for your own collections.
If you would like to submit recipes, or have any other
questions about the project, contact Helen at hwidener@msn.

Family Stories: The
first Wilson in Texas, at least from my direct line was David L. Wilson
who was married to Ophelia. The year he entered Texas is unfounded but his
death is clear. He fought and died at the Alamo in 1836. He was probably
one of the volunteers who accompanied Capt. Philip Dimmitt to Bexar and
the Alamo in the early months of 1836. He remained at the Alamo after
Dimmitt left on the first day of the siege. David Wilson died in the
battle of the Alamo on March 6, 1836. (submitted by Scott Bruno)

First arrived in Texas:
1820-30
The International Association of Clan
MacInnes is the only known organized body in the world representing the
MacInnes'. We were granted Arms by the Lyon Court in
2004 and now have a formal banner flying over the hereditary castle,
Kinlochaline, in Morvern although it is owned by others.
The first known McInnis family (their
spelling) in Texas apparently crossed over from Louisiana in the
1820-30s and settled in the piney woods north of Beaumont. Many
are buried in the Baptist Church Cemetery in Fred, TX. It is
presumed thay came originally from either Skye, Mull or Morvern and
landed in the Cape Fear area of North Carolina.
We became active in Texas in 1988 at the
Arlington Games and have been at the TSF&HG each year since.
The Association was initially founded in 1970 at the Grandfather Mtn.
Games in North Carolina.

Letter
to the Scottish Clans...
The Texas Scottish Heritage Society is a newly formed
organization dedicated to research and preservation of the
history of Scots in Texas. Within the society, we have
formed a special group, "Scottish Clans of Texas".
Membership in S.C.O.T. is as simple as providing basic
information about your clan history and activity in Texas.
There are no fees or costs involved. The form is
attached or available on the web.
We are asking each clan to provide a brief history. This
can be a very short summary to start with - we will publish
whatever you send and will allow updates as you provide them.
We are especially interested in members of your clan that
first arrived in Texas, as well as names, time frame,
circumstances, etc. Also, any well known Texans who are
"clansmen". (ie: Sam Houston - MacDonald).
Help us collect and preserve this important part of Texas
history.
As a member, your clan will be authorized to display the
S.C.O.T. logo with your Clan name. Your historical
information will be available through our website (www.TxScot.com)
and we will also provide a link to your "Texas" or
Regional newsletter as well as your national organization on
our S.C.O.T. website. Your clan will be among the first
to learn of historical research and invited to
participate in area projects and events.
Please take a moment to submit your form and provide basic
info. |

If you would like your Scottish Clan
to become a member and have a link added
