James Carnegie was born in 1745 in Scotland. He married Charlotte.
The first Carnegie ancestor of hereditary importance is James born c.1745. This Carnegie was a weaver, and also, during dull weaving seasons,a tiller of soil. Like most of his descendents he was a politicalfirebrand. As a young man, James Carnegie left the ancestral Forfarshireand established himself in Fife. In Scottish legal phrase, he "feued"(roughly leased) a piece of land in the new weavers settlement ofPattiemuir, a hamlet about two miles south of Dunfermline and about 1/10mile north of Limekins.

Hi Mr Sloan - My name is Terry Kiggins. I am a descendant of Elijah Trovillo. My Great Aunt Elizabeth F. Ackerman (she was a school teacher)(Ackerman's are descendant's of Trovillo's) died in 1978, years and I do mean years before she passed away, she wrote the Ackerman Family History from stories that were told by a Grandmother Ackerman and her Aunt Anne (as she is referred to), these stories were told one evening. I came across your tree, and I do have to tell you, IT IS VERY IMPRESSIVE. Great Aunt Elizabeth wrote that:
Isaac Trovillo was the youngest son, served in the Civil War and died in Pittsburgh of cholera.
Shepley Holmes Trovillo was a Sergeant in the Civil War. He joined a band of guerilla fighters, which were a part of an Illinois regiment. After the war, he went back home to Pennsylvania and lived at the Doak House. He eventually died of Yellow Fever at Helena, Arkansas sometime after the Civil War was over.
The two children dying in infancy at approx. 3 months were John and Nancy. Now, you are probably saying, "hold on there partner"! "There was a Nancy that married a William Coleman", and, you're right. There are two things that could have happened.
One: Great Aunt Elizabeth, Grandmother Ackerman and Aunt Anne screwed up - which very well could have happened.
Two: Later, another girl was born after Sarah, Mary, Martha and they named her Nancy. I am not sure of the birth order seeing there were 15 children.Also, Colonel Elijah Trovillo's father was a French Huguenot who came from France, settled near West Chester, Chester County, PA. His wife's name was Alice. Elijah was said to be the seventh son born and he had one sister. His siblings were: Jonathon or Jonathan (who was a professor in an Eastern college). John, Elisha and William. I don't have the names of the other siblings, yet. Apparently, Jonathon changed the spelling of the family name from Travilla to Trovillo. The family remained in the East, but Elijah came west to Pittsburgh.
I am just starting to put together our history and kinda new to all this. Please do not think I am trying to correct you or anything along those lines. I am going by notes my Great Aunt wrote and I gotta tell ya, the names that are written down, track what I have been finding on the internet. My Great Aunt died in 1978 (well before personal computers were on the market), and this written history that I have, was written well before that.
I would very much like to talk to you, because obviously, a whole lotta work was put into your tree!!!!!!!!

Thank you for your time and I hope to be able to talk to you soon.

GOULD, Benjamin Apthorp, astronomer, was born in Boston, Mass.,Sept. 27, 1824; son of Benjamin Apthorp and Lucretia Dana (Goddard)Gould; and grandson of Benjamin Gould, soldier of the AmericanRevolution. He was prepared for college at the Boston Latin school wherehe received the Franklin medal; was graduated at Harvard in 1844; wasmaster of Rexbury Latin school, 1845; studied astronomy under Carl F.Gauss in Gttiugen, and the sciences in Paris, doing observatory workunder Francois Arago. While in Europe he made the acquaintance ofArgelander and Humboldt. He established the Astronomical Journal atCambridge, Mass., in 1849, offering it to the use of astronomers for thepublication exclusively of original investigations, and he maintained itlargely at his own expense for twelve years. In 1885 he resumed itspublication, and continued it at the rate of nearly one volume a yearuntil his death, making due provision for its continuance. He was thefirst astronomer to use the telegraph in geodetic work, and made fifteendeterminations before the method was introduced in Europe. In 1852 he wasappointed to take charge of the longitude determinations of the coastsurvey. He organized, developed and extended this service, retiring in1867. Meanwhile, in 1855, he became director of the Dudley observatory.Albany, N.Y., equipped and organized the institution, and carried it onwithout remuneration and at [p.346] his private expense, leaving it in1859, after a severe struggle to preserve it for purposes of scientificinvestigation. About 1864 he built an observatory at Cambridge and until1867 carried on a determination of the right ascensions of all the starsto the tenth magnitude within one degree of the pole. This work wascompletely reduced, but the discussion and publication were postponed byhis removal in 1865 to Cordoba, S.A., where in 1870 he organized anobservatory under the auspices of the Argentine Republic, meanwhilemapping out a large part of the southern heavens, determining theclimatic conditions of South America, and establishing meteorologicalstations from the tropics to Terra del Fuego on both coasts and acrossthe entire continent. He returned to Cambridge in 1885. He was vicepresident of the American Academy of arts and sciences; a charter memberof the National academy of sciences; a member of the American associationfor the advancement of science; and of the American philosophicalsociety; president of the Colonial society of Massachusetts from itsorganization in 1892; honorary professor of the University of theArgentine Republic; fellow of the University of Chile; of the Royalsociety, London; the Royal meteorological society, London; the Royalastronomical society, London; the Academy of Science, Paris; the Imperialacademy of science, St. Petersburg; the Bureau des Longitudes, Paris; andof the Astronomiche Gesellschaft, Berlin. He received the Watson medal ofthe National academy of arts and sciences and the medal of the Royalastronomical society. He was also knighted, of the order Pour le mrite,by the Emperor of Germany, a distinction which is exceedingly rare. Hereceived the degree of Ph.D. from Gttiugen in 1848; and the degree ofLL.D. from Harvard in 1885, and from Columbia in 1887. He received thegold medal of the Royal Astronomical Society for his UranometriaArgentina, in 1883. He was married in 1861, to Mary Apthorp, daughter ofthe Hon. Josiah and Mary Jane Quincy; of their five children two weredrowned in South America in 1874, Benjamin Apthorp settled as a lawyer inNew York city; one daughter, Alice Bache, engaged in mathematical workand another daughter, Mary Quincy, married Albert Thorndike of Boston.Mrs. Gould died in 1883.

(1847); Reports on the Discovery of the Planet Neptune (1850);Discussions of Observations made by the U.S. Astronomical Expedition toChili to determine the Solar Parallax (1856); Investigations in theMilitary and Authropological Statistics of American Soldiers (1869); TheTrans-Atlantic Longitude as determined by the Coast Survey (1869);Ancestry and Posterity of Zaccheus Gould (1872; enlarged and reissued,1895); Uranometria Argeatina (1874); Zone Catalogues containing 73,160stars (1884) and General Catalogue of 32,448 stars (1885).
