Under Construction

SCOTT from circa 1800 Scotland to circa 1850 Canada

The Scott family originated in the same area as the Laing family Monymusk, Aberdeenshire Scotland. It is not known however if these two families knew one another or not however , James Laing the patriarch of the Laing family had been married to an Ann Scott of that area. We have not been able to take John Scott's line back far enough to determine if there was a relative common to Ann and John but as both families appeared to have frequented the Chapel of Garioch, we can certainly assume that a connection may have existed at one time.

Of course the two families would not know that in the next century the Laing and Scott would one again be connected by marriage but that is exactly what happened. As far as can be determine Katherine Scott was born in Scotland, while her husband to be James Adam Laing was born in Chambly Quebec. It certainly could not be foreseen that the Laing family would move from their original landing at Chambly, to the Buckingham area of Quebec which was but a short distance from the New Edinburgh town of Ontario ( now part of Ottawa).

Chapel of Garioch
Aberdeenshire

A village of the Garioch district in Aberdeenshire, Chapel of Garioch lies in a parish of the same name at a road junction 3 miles (5 km) northwest of Inverurie. The parish church dates from 1813.

BRIDGET BURNS     was born 1782 in IRELAND, and died January 11, 1862 in Denhill, FYVIE.   She married (1) GEORGE SCOTT.

Bridget Burn married second ALEXANDER ROUGH June 13, 1835 in INVERURIE, son of JOHN ROUGH and ISOBEL SCOTT.    He was born 1779 in KINELLAR, and died 1843 in Sorryhillock, CHAPEL OF GARIOCH. (most probably a cousin to her first husband George)

Notes for BRIDGET BURNS:
Living Whitehaugh per the 1841 census for Chapel of Garioch
Living Kethney per the 1851 census for Chapel of Garioch
Living Woodside of Fetternear per the 1861 census for Chapel of Garioch

Notes for ALEXANDER ROUGH:
Crofter

The Scotts resided in New Edinburgh when they first arrived in Canada. It has been mentioned that the Scotts may have came over on the same boat as the Laings when they came to Canada. The Laings remained in Chambly, the Scotts moving to the Ottawa area however if this were true then Katherine Scott would have been born in Canada, and not in Scotland as the history of the Laing family has so often stated.

1841 Scottish census shows  John as ag lab ,  Janet     and Ann Walker 10 years old , living in the civil parish  :  Chapel of Garioch  , address Hill of Fetternear  Aberdeenshire   This location is the exact place from which  the Laing family  emigrated  to Quebec Canada around the same time

Ann Walker may have been helping  her  perhaps her sister who would have been with child at the time of the census.

1851 Scottish census show family living still in the civil parish of Chapel of Garioch,  address Hill of Fetternear

1861 Canada Census has John Scott   listed as a contractor  with John , Charles and Margaret  being born in Canada ( which apparently was in error as  the son John was definitely recorded in the 1851 Scottish census) It also shows Alexander  20 years of age as being absent from the residence, but no indication as to where he was .  Census has the family  in the district of Carleton , sub district Ottawa.

John Scott does not appear on the 1871 Census so  his death occurred between  1861 -1871  nor does Charles so possibly he is buried along side his father

the 1871 Census  shows Jessie as head of family with  children   - Catherine,  John and Margaret  

According to the 1881 census of Canada, Jessie Scott aged 63 and her children John (27) and Margaret (23) are living with her daughter Katherine and her family at the Laing residence in Ottawa Canada.

The 1891 Census shows Jessie Scott  74  , living with Margaret and her  new husband Donald Campbell , in Manitoba district of Lisgar

Beechwood Cemetery records show John Scott  death    1902, aged 49,    Margaret Scott    death  1902 aged 44    and Jessie W  Scott 1893 aged 75

James Adam Laing,

IN 1853/54 or there abouts W G Perley and C B Pattee arrived in the Gatineau, originally thought to be from the State of NY . In 1871 the interest of Perley and Pattee had produced between 30 and 40 million board feet. (compared to the J R Booth Company 's 26- 30 million board feet in the same period) 1880 the lumber business was in the doldrums) ( lumber production 1871 Perley & Pattee 55 million board feet / Booth 60 million same period) (1896 production has Booth at 115 million board feet and no listing for Perly & Pattee).

James worked for the Pearly Lumber Company for 28 years, and 8 years with the Hull Lumber Company of Canada, surveying tracts of wood lots from which the trees would be chosen to be cut, and sent down the Ottawa river in rafts, to the mills and finally for export to Europe. James was sent by the Read Lumber Co. in 1903 to California, in particular Auburn (just next to Grass Valley) to manage the Towle Brothers' Lumber Co which they had just bought. James began in 1912 his own firm called the Newcastle Lumber Company, and then in 1921 with his remaining sons as partners began the Newcastle Hardware Co of Auburn Ca.

Fire April 26 1900, reached the Hull Lumber Company yard by noon time and the stock on the pilling grounds burned

About 1894 Perley & Pattee had installed the newest equipment in the the sawmill, others followed suit .

Perley & Pattee had made history in 1889 when they purchased the first traction engine in Canada, the Glover Steam Logger.

The Perley interests whose main mill was by now at Calumet, Quebec, were absorbed by the rising new lumber producer , the Riordon Company in 1910.

James A Laing was member of the Ancient order of united Workmen, Progress Lodge, no 234
in 1916

Laing - At Auburn California on Tuesday August 23, 1938, James A Laing , formerly of Ottawa in his 89th years and father of Robert Laing , Westboro. Funeral will be held in Auburn California
