( photo by Anne Nare jko ) Empire Loyalist descendant performs The Huron County Genealogical Society has had a very busy spring.! The May meeting was held at the Seaforth Public School and featured Russ Waller with a reading performance on "A Loyalist Diary". Mr. Waller is a member of the United Empire Loyalist Association of Canada,.Kingston Branch and an actor. His acting career dates back to 1952 with the Canadian Repertory Theatre in Ottawa and includes summer stock, a season at Strat- ford, six years at CBC Toronto and 13 years as Queen's Professor of Drama. Mr. Waller is also related to 10 different families of United Empire Loyalists. The idea for this presentation came to him during his own U.E.L. research. The diary was researched and fabricated from the many first-hand accounts of the conditions faced by our Ontario ancestors in the aftermath of the American Revolution. It is presumed to be written by a 15-20 year old girl and later found and read by her father (portrayed by Mr. Waller). The diary begins in the vicinity of Albany, New York. While the men of the family are away, the home is attacked and the mother leaves with her younger children and what belongings they can manage. It traces the desperate journey of the girl's family up the Hudson and Mohawk Valleys, the unfor- tunate encounters they have with farm families who steal their food and belongings and their arrival at Cataraqui in 1873, final- ly meeting up with father. It then chronicles the hardships and adventures encountered in settling on virgin land in Upper Canada. During a question ' and answer period' which followed, Mr. Waller noted that in 1784 approximately 5,000 persons and their families arrived in Kingston, all being military personnel. The official definition of a United Empire Loyalist is one who has fought with Britain against Americans. Each U.E.L. was granted land by the King as follows- 200 acres to the father, 50 acres to sons and daughters and 200 acres more when they became of age. The U.E.L.'s drew lots for the land grants and they were recorded at that time. Those above the rank of Private received grants Larger than 200 acres, the amount varying depending upon their rank. Although the majority kept and worked their land, some bartered or sold their grants. It is interesting to note that many of the townships in that area were named after children of King George III. The June meeting was held at its usual place and time. Queries were read from per- sons searching for: Young/Sproule, Fraser .(Usborne?), Keys (Brucefield, Bayfield), Jackman (E. .Wawanosh), Dineen (Goderich , area), Baylor, McLaughlan (McKillop), McMillan/Aikenhead (Goderich), Gravelle (Gravel), (Goderich, St. Joseph's), Fleming, Pollock (Blyth). It was also noted that the Goderich Library now has on permanent film the 1881 census. Chairman Alison Lobb advised that guest speakers are required and anyone knowing someone or willing to speak themselves should contact one of the executive. Mystery prize of the evening (a two year planner) was won by Elaine McKinnon of Fordwich. Speaker at the June meeting was Elke Schulz of Kincardine. Elke is a graphic ar- tist and calligrapher and has been studying calligraphy for eight years. She also teaches part-time to graphic art students at Georgian College • in Owen Sound. Her presentation was ion "Deciphering the Old English Alphabet". She began by giving a brief history of western handwriting, pointing out that there were also other branches of calligraphy such as Hebrew, Japanese and Islamic. She also noted that it's very difficult to pinpoint styles and declare accurate descriptions of a certain hand as through the development of writing, man copied from examplars that he had access to and regions or monasteries kept certain scripts individual to .their area. Prior to the invention of the press in the mid - 15th century, recording was done in stone, clay, metal, wood or writing with a quill or brush. - A highly contracted style of writing was developed which was easily understood by the correspondents at the time but remained at most a mystery to the rest of the world as many abbreviations and contractions were used to save space, time and money f the vi6.61; Sfpl.

As more transactions took place, more conunon people wrote in their own hand. The printing press greatly increased reading and writing skills but it wasn't until the latter half of the 16th century than an English writing bookwas published. During the 17th century England... -was troubled by a civil war and the spread of literacy was slow. Still, most grammar schools expected their pupils to be able to write on arrival. Sometimes there were small provisions made for writing lessons but only after school hours and on half - holidays. A writing master would travel the cJuntryside and offer services to schools and individuals. - An easier way to perhaps understand old handwriting is to study calligraphy and to simply use a flat edged tool and write quick- ly in a fashion the document was written; sometimes breaking down the individual let- ters or trying to copy shapes the letters become more clear. In trying to decipher old handwriting types, we have against us the fact that inany people simply did not know how to write and made up shapes or elaborated from any examplars that they could find. Also, the teachers at the time would explain their art in their own technical terms, leaving • details obscure so that the translations are full of inac- curacies, Many essays were ztlso written in foreign languages such as Latin, Italian and Spanish, explaining detail. These transcripts are still not translated. Many copies were Homan inscriptional caps, - scroll work, Arabic and Hebrew alphabets. Many of the models would have been useful to illuminators, copyists. goldsmiths, jewellers, etc. Eventually two main scripts survived: a Roman cap and a -cursive style.
