I am excited to have finally found details to prove Margaret, my Gr Gr Grandma's, family line, the Beveridge family line that is.
There was a very detailed letter written in 1927 by a P.H. Burt about the family history of the Burt family and connected branches of the family that he wrote detailing his memories of Scotland when he was young and the family leaving Scotland for the U.S. and where the family lived in the U.S. after they came here. He detailed a lot of information about the family as to who died when and where along with many other important family facts. P.H. Burt was Margaret's nephew. Margaret's husband Peter Burt and P.H. Burt's father Joseph Burt, were brothers.
In P.H. Burt's family history story he wrote, he mentions Peter Burt several times as "Uncle Peter".
This is an excerpt from P.H. Burt's story=
"In that summer Uncle Peter moved out to Pine Creek, 12 miles from Allegheny City, where 3 of his wife's brothers had small holdings and raised vegetables for the city market--Bob, Jim and Andrew Beveredge, the previous summer Uncle Andrew Burt also Uncle Tom MacArthur went out to Illinois. "
P.H. Burt spelled the Beveridge name wrong in his story. It was close to right though. Also the McArthur name he spelled wrong too. It was McArthur, not MacArthur. He mentioned three of Margaret's brothers as Jim, Bob and Andrew. They were James, Robert and Andrew and all lived near each other in Allegheny County, PA.
You find proof of this in the 1860 census. It shows Peter and Margaret Beveridge Burt listed in that census right together on page 110 in McCandless Twp, Allegheny County, PA right near Pittsburgh, PA. right where P.H. Burt said they were living. Peter and Margaret with their children, were living right by or with James Beveridge and his wife and children, James being Margaret Beveridge Burt's oldest sibling. Andrew and Robert Beveridge were also in the census in that same area on other pages of that census.
There is other proof in ship logs as to some of the Burt and Beveridge family members coming over to the U.S. together on the same ship and in death certificates that prove who different members of the family's parent's were linking them together beyond any doubt as from the same family.
