James,
Ah, but if you'd ever been to a Scotland Football match
(soccer...) and been amongst the fans singing
"O Flow'r o Scotland..." swaying with them, and feeling
the emotion of it - you'd change your mind in an instant!
Been there, done that, there's none compares!

Campbells, McCallums/Malcolms, Marjoribankses & Tom Cameron,
Kinloch McCollum posted to the McCallum list the Campbell
List's discussion of Scotch anthems. I passed them on to
the Marjoribanks List. (BTW, I do not mean drinking songs.
Scotch means Scottish to Americans & Robt. Burns, right?).
Some months ago I copied 2 of the "anthems" from the Clan
Cameron pages to my Mbanks web pages & they play when the
pages open. (They are in an infinite loop until you go to
another url).
http://emcee.com/~green/Mbanks.html plays Scotland the Brave
http://emcee.com/~green/MbanksOld.html plays Flower of Scotland
I find the Scotland the Brave tune much much more rousing than
the sleepy Flower of Scotland ballad. If I were able to vote
for the anthem, I'd vote for Scotland the Brave because it
sounds like one to march by! Scotland the Brave's tempo is
better for zooming down the interstate or along the 2 lane
mountain highways such as to Grandfather Mt. :-) It is one
that I hum more.
I am not considering the words. Also I am not overly fond of
the midi rendition of Scotland the Brave on my web page, but
it gives the idea.
(BTW, if I need a good talking to, I am not on the Campbell
list so you'll have to write me at
clan-mccallum(a)csn.net &/or Marjoribanks-L(a)RootsWeb.Com).<grin>

I've come across both census information, tombstone data and an obituary
for this individual, but he does not "belong" to me.
He was born in Corsicana, TX; he moved to Parker, Co. TX during the Civil
War. He married in 1878. He moved into Taylor Co. TX about 1890. His wife
died about 1899. Several descendents are listed in the obit.
Let me know if this info is of interest to you.

Here are the words of 'Flower of Scotland'. (As they may be of more
general interest, I am also posting to the list.)
FLOWER OF SCOTLAND
(Roy Williamson, 1974)
O Flower of Scotland
When will we see
Your like again,
That fought and died for
Your wee bit Hill and Glen
And stood against him
Proud Edward's Army,
And sent him homeward
Tae think again.
The Hills are bare now
And Autumn leaves lie thick and still
O'er land that is lost now
Which those so dearly held
That stood against him
Proud Edward's Army
And sent him homeward
Tae think again.
Those days are past now
And in the past they must remain
But we can still rise now
And be the nation again
That stood against him
Proud Edward's Army
And sent him homeward,
Tae think again.
0 Flower of Scotland
When will we see
Your like again,
That fought and died for
Your wee bit Hill and Glen
And stood against him
Proud Edward's Army,
And sent him homeward
Tae think again.

A quick word to follow up Diarmid's and Tom's comments on the Scottish
"national anthem".
To the extent that there is an "official" one, it will indeed be "God
Save the Queen". It is not often heard in Scotland. The original
version of this anthem contained the infamous line "Rebellious Scots
to crush".
As for the substitutes, "Scotland the Brave" has lost favour rapidly
in recent years. Many now regard it as akin to a music hall turn.
"Scots, Wha Hae" has a reasonable following which includes the
Scottish National Party, but the tune usually associated with it is
not exactly one that you would whistle in the bath.
There is no doubt that if there were to be a referendum on this,
"Flower of Scotland" (by the late Roy Williamson of The Corries, 1974)
would leave the opposition trailing far behind. Quite apart from the
fact that it can be heard in town centres throughout the land on
Saturday nights after the pubs close, it has been adopted by both the
Scottish Football Association and the Scottish Rugby Union (in the
case of the SRU, replacing "Scotland the Brave"). As Tom has
demonstrated, it can be criticised, but it is the people's choice.
What is a national anthem for, anyway?

The offical national anthem for Scotland is: "God Save The Queen".
Flower of Scotland is very unoffical and is a tune that is really BAD and
the words even worse! Scotland the Brave is over played but I have to
confess that it still gives me goosebumps when played well and in the
right setting.

I need help with information on early nautralization procedures. Cyrus
Campbell ("born in Scotland") first shown in Cabarrus County, NC court
records as 14 year old orphan 1804. He served in 1812 war. By that time he
was over 21 years. Was it a requirement that he be a citizen (naturalized)
before being a soldier? Does anyone have that information? He later was
Justice of the Peace in Southern Illinois circa 1839. It would help me if I
knew where to look for naturalization records. Thanks. Roger
Many thanks to all of those that answered my query.
Here are the words - from memory so I might get a few
of them wrong. :)
Hark when the night is falling
Hear, hear the pipes are calling
Loudly and proudly calling down through the glen.
Down where hills are a'sleepin'
Now feel the blood a'leapin'
High as the spirits of the auld hieland men.
Tow'ring in gallant fame
Scotland my mountain hame.
High may your proud standards gloriously wave
Land of my high endeavour
Land of the shining river
Land of my heart forever...Scotland the Brave.
High in the purple highlands
Out by the misty islands
Brave are the hearts that beat beneath Scottish skies
Wild are the winds that meet you
Staunch are the friends that greet you
Kind as the love that shines in fair maidens eyes.
REFRAIN (Tow'ring in gallant fame....)
(and my personal favourite verse....)
Far off in sunlit places
Sad are the Scottish faces
Longing to feel the kiss of sweet Scottish rain
Where tropic skies are beamin
Love sets the heart a'dreamin'
Longing and dreaming for their homeland again.
Also, Diarmid's comments on the anthem question:
Kinloch,
I think I am right in saying that 'officially' Scotland does not have a
'national anthem', other than the British one. However if you asked
most
Scots what it was, I suspect that many would say 'Scotland the Brave'.
Personally I have a bit of a preference for 'Scots wha hae wi Wallace
bled',
however it does have a highly stirring quality which could be seen in
bad
moments as an encitement to violence, where Scotland the Brave is more
jaunty and yet still stirring at times.
All best, Diarmid
Continuing to seek information on the CAMPBELL family. All I currently
know is that Ida Blanche CAMPBELL was born 12 Nov 1885 in Donegal Twp,
Butler Co, Pa, died Jan 17, 1965. She was the daughter of William
Lawrence CAMPBELL born 6 Dec 1856 and died 20 Aug, 1915 and Emma Louisa
TRUVER born27 Mar, 1862 and died 29 Oct 1937. Can anyone provide
further information?

Hi all,
I am sending on some information that I rec'd today from
one of the other lists. It contains a little Campbell 'stuff'.
Maybe it will help someone on our list. BTW, I do not
understand enough of the information to be able to help
anyone with it.

It's been a while since I posted this info, so I'll try again in hopes
someone will stumble on it with help! My ggf, EDWIN BEARDSLEY CAMPBELL
was born in Ohio (probably Cuyahoga County) on 26 Apr 1840. The earliest
census info I've found on him he is living with mother Mary and
Step-father Henry Frizzell and two sisters in Polk County, Iowa. Need
info on his biological father's name, mother's maiden name. I suspect
Beardsley is a family name - does anyone recognize it? Reply to William
H. Jacobs, converg(a)gvtc.com

but I'm not sure. Here are the words - from memory so I might get a few

Thank you, Nathalie. I'm really not sure if it fits since the names are
fairly different and my Samuel Campbell arrived in Canada (St. John, New
Brunswick)
in 1817, supposedly. He also supposedly came with brothers and parents,
but I've never found them.
Samuel married Nancy Ann Junk while in Canada and they later emigrated to
Philadelphia for a year and then on to Juniata Co, Pennsylvania in 1830.
He was naturalized there and later buried there. If anyone wants more info
let me know.

Hi,
I do not have much information on my father's side, but he is a Campbell from
PA. His name was Mark Edward Campbell, born Sept. 7 (not sure of year) and
died in 1973. I know he had a brother named Ernest and a sister named
Marcella. Marcella married a Thompson and had several daughters: Peggy,
Virginia, Miriam, Jackie, Shirley, and a son named Andre. Ernest had 2
daughters named Patsy and Barbara. As far as I know, they were all from East
PA. Any information or help any one could offer would be appreciated.
Sharon Campbell McKelvey
In search of information on: JAMES CAMPBELL, born Scotland and was in
Kty\Va ca 1794?. Had son Hugh 1796. Possible other children, Elizabeth,
Thomas, William, & James Jr. Many appear to have gone to Wilson and Smith
County, Tennessee by 1816. Hugh married Sarah Hearn, daughter of George &
Tabitha Skeen Hearn, 1816 Wilson County, TN. Appreciate any help.
