Mary_Andrew
As of the year 2022, since I can no longer locate details on this family,
and since no other family member appears to be interested
in this family's genealogy I will no longer continue
adding additional information





Mary Andrew
and
her family



Mary Andrew was born at Port Glasgow 13 Oct 1749.
Daughter of William Andrew and Mary Benson


"notes taken from Journal of William Macfie"


Wm. Andrew my maternal grandfather was born a Monkton near Ayr , 9th March 1708 , he was the son of Tho Andrew, blacksmith Monkton. His mother's name was McQuater (McWhirter) .

(MONKTON THEN)


(MONKTON - 20TH CENTURY)


I think my grandfather was the eldest of the family.

In the parish register there is the name Wm Andrew son of Alex Andrew, shoemaker Prestick, born 1727. This person I conceive was a cousin of my grandfather.

The register does not shew the rest of Tho Andrew's family , but I know of three besides my grandfather.


1st : James Andrew for many years manager of the Estates of Mr Oswald of Auchancruve Ayrshire, I think he died about 1810 at New Abbey Dumfriesshire & left a large family

2 : David Andrew , carpenter in Ayr, he built many ships & left three sons Thomas , David , Robert and two daughters


3 : Mrs Tod the mother of Jas Tod ; Miss Tod ; Mrs Ritchie

Wm Andrew my grandfather went I presume early to sea probably served his time at Ayr. He sailed long from Pt Glasgow as a ship master commanding ships in the Virginia trade which belonged to Mr Dunlop of Garnkirk. When this gentleman failed in 1793 my grandfather was a creditor for 700 or 800 pounds stirling . He also was in command of some ships belonging to Jas Gemmil Esq. I have heard Mr Gemmil speak of him. Wm Andrew built a house in Church St., Port Glasgow in 1749 the same year my mother was born, his family were all born in Pt Glasgow About he year 1774 he came to Greenock, and built as I have been told, the first house in Cathcart St , where he resided till his death about the year 1792.

The first sugar refinery in Greenock, other than primitive in type , was erected about 1765, at the foot of Sugar House Lane, on ground previously occupied by Messrs Donals, Whaye and Company, rope and sailcloth makers. The promoters of the venture were Messrs Alex Wilson of Glanderstone, Thomas Hopkirk , Claud Alexander of Newton and Arthur Connel , merchants in Glasgow, with Messrs Thomas Dunlop, Archibald White and William MacCunn, merchants in Greenock. These gentlemen assumed as practical patner or "boiler" Mr Mark Khull , who apparently held one eight share in the concern an who worked in the sugar refining business until his death in 1782. The name of the firm - The Greenock Sugar House Co -

James Little & Co., Shipowners, 69, Buchanan Street, Glasgow Scotland :
It is particularly interesting, in reviewing historically the trade and commerce of this city, to meet with a firm of such old standing and extensive connections as that of Messrs. James Little & Co., of 69, Buchanan Street, and to accord to it that special prominence in these reviews which its influential position in the shipping trade so justly demands. This extensive business dates back in its foundation to the year 1806, when it was established in Greenock by Mr. James Little, whose name it still bears, and its history has been most intimately associated with the development of the trade and commerce of the Clyde from that period up to the present time.
More than seventy years ago this firm ran the first line of steamers between Greenock, calling at the Isle of Man, and Liverpool ; this service was conducted by the steamers Majestic and City of Glasgow, and the Clyde not being then navigable to Glasgow for steamers of their size, the steam tender Post Boy carried passengers from Greenock to Glasgow in connection with them. Shortly afterwards they opened the first service between Greenock and Dublin with the steamers Erin and Scotia. These were followed by the steamers of the Dublin and Glasgow Steam Packet Company, for which Messrs. Little & Co. acted as agents at Greenock, as they have continued to do ever since.
In connection with this company they gave the order to Messrs. Wm. Denny & Brothers, of Dumbarton, for the first screw steamer built on the Clyde. This vessel, the 'Waterwitch', was engined by Messrs. Caird & Co., of Greenock, as Messrs. Denny had not at that time opened their engine works.
In 1867 Messrs. Little & Co. started their Barrow and Belfast, and Barrow and Isle of Man services, and now run lines between Barrow and Liverpool, London and Terneuzen (Holland), &c., and act as agents of the Dundalk and Newry Steam Packet Company�s service between Ardrossan and Newry and Dundalk. They are also agents for various other lines of steamers, having offices at Glasgow, Greenock, Ardrossan, Belfast, Barrow in Furness, Liverpool, and London.
Besides the coasting services enumerated above, Messrs. Little & Co. have always had steamers engaged in foreign trading with all parts of the world. Their fleet, besides being a very extensive one, comprises all kinds of steamers from a hundred up to five thousand tons carrying capacity, and includes very fast paddle and cargo-carrying screw steamers. They are probably the only firm who have been intimately connected with the steam shipping trade of the country from its infancy down to the present time.
