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

first shorthand ). 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.
The .July meeting is being cancelled and in
its place will be a trip to the Perth County
Archives on Satutda}.July 7. Please arrive
at the Archives by 1:30 .p.m. If
