Entry last updated 11 Feb 2008

1. George Cleghorn
. Son of George Cleghorn & Jane Dickson. Born 16 Aug 1820 in Scotland. Christen 24 Sep 1820 in Eckford, Roxburghshire, Scotland. Died 28 Mar 1867 in Tweedside. Buried in Harvey Settlement Cemetery. Occupation Farmer.

 

    From parochial registers of Eckford in Roxburghshire, Scotland (researched by Bruce Elliott, 2004):   George Cleghorn Labourer in Waterfoot and Jane Dickson his wife their Child Born the 16th of Augt 1820 and Bapt. The 24th of Sept 1820 named George."

 

By the time of the 1841 Scotland census (see below) George lived with his mother Jane (Dickson) Cleghorn and younger sister Agnes in Ormiston. It seems that his father must have died by this time. The families of George's brother William Cleghorn and that of his sister Jessie Wood lived on either side of his dwelling.

 

From parochial registers of Eckford, Roxburghshire (Researched by Bruce Elliott, 2004):   " 1844 June 1st. George Cleghorn of this Parish and Agnes Hogg of the Parish of Roxburghe gave up their names for proclamation in order to marriage.   14th June 1844 married by the Revd. Mr Lee, Roxburgh."

 

By the time of the 1851 Scotland census George lived with his family at Old Lurdenlaw, Sprouston, as an agricultural worker. Based on the census entries for place of birth his family seems to have lived in Roxburgh from the time of his marriage until about 1850 before moving to Sprouston.

Church of Scotland church in Eckford where George Cleghorn and Agnes Hogg were married on 1 Jun 1844. It is located midway between Kelso and Jedburgh just east of A698. This church dates from 1665 and was a replacement for an earlier church granted to Jedburgh Abbey in the early 13th century on the same site.There is a sundial that was added in 1668 as well as a set of jougs that date from 1718. Jougs were a standard feature in many Scottish churches, consisting of an iron collar fastened by a short chain to a wall within the church. The collar was placed round the offender's neck and fastened by a padlock. Jougs were used for ecclesiastical as well as civil offences.The north aisle was added ca 1720 with the inside being remodelled in 1898 when the pulpit was moved and box pews removed. An interesting feature is the presence of a mort-house (watch tower) in the cemetery that was used to house watch men on guard against body snatchers. On the ground floor is the burial vault of the Bennets of Marlfield, a nearby estate. The armorial bearings of Sir William Bennet (d 1724) are found above the spacious laird's loft. There is a Roll of Honour for those who served in WW 1 as well as a Memorial to those who died in WW II. In recent years attendance of the church has dwindled until if was only being used twice a year. Looming expensive repairs forced the decision to end its use as a place of worship. The last sermon was preached there on Sunday May 7, 2006. At last report the local Kirk of the Church of Scotland had proposed that the church be sold. However, the presence of an active cemetery surrounding the church created complications. Image Source: Ruth Cleghorn Ker; rephotographed by Tim Patterson, July 22, 2006.

 

 

    From research compiled by Ruth Cleghorn in 1982 on "George Cleghorn and Descendants 1819-1982", it is believed that George Cleghorn, his wife Agnes Hogg and five children came to New Brunswick in 1853.   Five more children were born in New Brunswick.   They settled on land in South Tweedside, which they cleared and farmed.   George died of a heart attack at age 48 years.

Undated large format crayon portrait photograph of Agnes Hogg (1825-1899), wife of George Cleghorn. Original photograph was quite yellowed with age. Image presented has been color corrected to approximate its original appearance. Tears and blemishes have also been digitally repaired. Since Agnes is on her own in this photograph it is probable that the image as taken some time after the death of George in 1867, probably in the 1870's based on her appearance. Source Ruth Ker.

Memorial cabinet card "To the memory of Mrs. Agness Cleghorn died Jan 26, 1899 aged 73 y., 3m.

Oh mother, thy gentle voice is hushed,
Thy warm, true heart is still;
And on thy pale and peaceful face,
Is resting death's cold chill.
Thy hands are crossed upon thy breast,
We have kissed thy marble brow,
And in our aching hearts we know
We have no mother now.
