1645 David Leslie, the best of the Scottish generals, was promptly dispatched against Montrose to anticipate the invasion. On 12 September 1645 Leslie came upon Montrose, who had been deserted by his Highlanders and guarded only by a little group of followers, at Philiphaugh. Leslie won an easy victory. Montrose cut his way through to the Highlands; but Great Montrose failed to organize an army. Montrose found himself apparently master of Scotland. In the name of the king Charles 1st Stewart, who now appointed Montrose lord lieutenant and captain-general of Scotland, Montrose summoned a parliament to meet at Glasgow on 20 October, in which Montrose no doubt hoped to reconcile loyal obedience to the king with the establishment of a non-political Presbyterian clergy. That parliament never met.  A poem by Montrose is inscribed on his tomb, “Scatter my ashes, strew them in the air/Lord, since thou knowest where all these atoms are….” Argyll and Montrose were both buried in St. Giles’ Cathedral.

       I was particularly interested in your item on St. Giles Cathedral.  As a Graham, you undoubtedly know that the cathedral is the [final] burial place of James Graham, 1st Marquess of Montrose, otherwise known as the “Great Montrose.”  His recumbent statue is in the sanctuary (I believe and not the Nave) and on his marble chest is a single red rose.  The rose is replaced each and every day.  I have a picture of this somewhere in the archives, but I can picture it as clearly as if I had been there yesterday.

1688 – sometime in September-   King James 2nd of England sent down to his council in Scotland, an account of the preparations making in Holland to invade England. Upon this alarming news, the militia were ordered to be in readiness ; the Highland chiefs were directed to prepare their clans to take the field ; and the vassals of the crown were modeled into regiments, and furnished with arms. [TG55-330]

1694 The Darien Colony sometime in September. [Sir Walter Scott’s Tales of a Grandfather-59-28]  On [Patterson]’s return to Europe, however, the schemes which he had formed respecting the New World were laid aside for another project, fraught with the most mighty and important consequences. This was the plan of that great national establishment the Bank of England [1694], of which he had the honour to suggest the first idea. For a time he was admitted a director of that institution ; but it befell Paterson as often happens to the first projectors of great schemes. Other persons, possessed of wealth and influence, interposed, and, taking advantage of the ideas of the obscure and unprotected stranger, made them their own by alterations or improvements more or less trivial, and finally elbowed the inventor out of all concern in the institution, the foundation of which he had laid.

(The Isthmus of Darien (later Panama) was unsettled because it was infected with Yellow Fever, which killed off the settlers. Prevention and cure had to wait two centuries until Pasteur’s discovery of the microbial theory of disease, in the 1850’s, and Col. Walter Reed’s poof of its transfer to humans by mosquitoes, in 1900. Defeat Mosquitoes, and defeat the Yellow Jack.)

1752 did not occur in England or British America. The English civil year started on 25 March until 1752 (Scotland having changed to 1 January in 1600). Eleven days did not occur in September 1752 in both England and Scotland, as well as other British controlled territories – America, (when the day after 2 September was 14 September), so as to bring the British Empire fully in line with the Gregorian calendar.

2001 Station Commander Frank Culbertson (clan Culbertson) of Expedition 3 wrote: “It’s horrible to see smoke pouring from wounds in your own country from such a fantastic vantage point. The dichotomy of being on a spacecraft dedicated to improving life on the earth and watching life being destroyed by such willful, terrible acts is jolting to the psyche, no matter who you are.”

Johnny traced the Cash family tree to eleventh-century Fife; Cash Loch and other locations in Fife bear the name of his family.

Johnny Cash and his second wife, June Carter. King Malcolm IV of Scotland in 1160 granted a dowry of land for his niece, Ada, to her husband Duncan, the sixth earl of Fife. The estate was located at Strathmilgo, Fife County and called Cashel, the Scottish Gaelic word for castle. A grandson about 1225 took the surname Casche. By the 1500’s the family name was known as Cash. About 1430, Scottish King James IV dispersed the Cash Clan from Strathmilgo, Some Cash families went to the Highlands of northern Scotland and took the name MacCash or MacCaishe under the Clan McDonald. One branch of the Cash family that remained in the ancestral home Perth, Fife, gave birth to William Cash about 1653.

Westmoreland County in the colony of Virginia shows that William Cash served as a grand juror in 1694 and lived there until his death 1708. In genealogical circles William is referred to as “the immigrant” Cash and is the ancestor of many of the Cash families of the southern United States.

William Cash is the ninth generation grandfather of Country music star Johnny Cash.　voices.yahoo.com/the-cash-family-name-
