Notes for Alexander Thomas Doig

      Alexander emigrated to New York state by 1847, at first in Orange County. Wilson's Newburgh Directory for 1856-57 show that Alexander was an engineer living at East Side Water Street near Broad Street.  He settled in Brooklyn about 1858. In 1860 A. Dagg was an engineer residing at 414 Hicks, Brooklyn, Kings Co., NY with his wife M.E. and children Isabella, Robert, Alexander, and Willie. In the 1865 NY State Census he resided in the 6th Ward, Brooklyn with his wife Mary and children Isabella, Robert, and William; he was a naturalized citizen, formerly in the Army [Navy].

     

      Alexander joined the U.S. Navy on 25 Nov 1861 as Acting First Assistant Engineer, serving for 36 months. He served on the U.S.S. Mercedita in the south Atlantic blockading squadron.  After one encounter, Alexander wrote:

‘U.S.S. Mercedita, Port Royal Harbor, January 31, 1863.

Sir: I respectfully beg leave to report the damage done to the boilers and machinery during the action of this morning and the present condition of same.

The enemy’s shell penetrated the engine-room bulkhead on the starboard side about 5 feet abaft the steam chimney, striking the port one and carrying away at least 4 feet of the outer shell.

The steam immediately escaped from the boilers and filled the engine and fire rooms, thereby leaving the machinery in a useless condition.

On examination of the starboard boiler I found that by closing the connections steam might be raised on it sufficiently to work the engine at a slow rate, which was done, in obedience to your orders.

It will require a further examination before I shall be able to report on the present condition of the boilers, to make which the coal must be removed from the side bunkers.

I am, very respectfully, your obedient servant,

A. Doig, Senior Engineer

Captain Henry S. Stellwagen, U.S.S. Mercedita.’

Alexander resigned on 6 June 1863.

     

      In 1864 Alexander lived at 404 Hick, Brooklyn, soon moving to 406 Hicks where he lived until his death.

     

      Because of frozen ground, Alexander's body was placed in a receiving tomb on 18 Apr 1869, awaiting burial.

     

      MARRIAGE: Witnesses were Robert Pollocke and Eliza Parsons. 

 

Notes for Mary E. McIntire

      In 1841 Mary (21 Scotland) was a straw bonnet maker residing on Atkinson Street, Manchester with her sister Christina (16 Scotland).

     

      In 1870 Mary was a widow with her three children and a housekeeper Ellen McGuire (born 1836/7 in NY) at 590 Hicks Street, Brooklyn, NY; the value of her real estate was $9000 with personal property worth $1000.  She continued to live at 590 Hicks Street until her death.

     

      In Mary's will dated 11 June 1873 she bequeathed all her estate and personal belongings to her only daughter, Isabella.  She declared that she did not do this, ‘out of any ill will or want of proper maternal affection towards my two sons but from a consideration of her sex, her unmarried condition, her not having been brought up to any trade, the dangers and temptations to which she would in consequence otherwise be exposed.’  She also left Lot 18693 in Green-Wood Cemetery, where Alexander and Christopher were buried, to her three surviving children Isabella, Robert, and William.

 

      Children of Alexander Thomas Doig and Mary E. McIntire were as follows:

      19        i           Isabella Christina3 Doig, born Nov 1847 in Orange Co., NY; died 15 Jun 1919 in Methodist Episcopal Hospital, Brooklyn, Kings Co., NY; buried 19 Jun 1919 in Green-Wood Cemetery, Brooklyn, Kings Co., NY.   Notes: In 1870 Isabella lived with her mother and two brothers at 590 Hicks Street, Brooklyn, NY.  In 1880 she lived with her brother Robert in Brooklyn (page 480). In 1900 and 1910 she lived alone, a tenant at 202 9th Street, Brooklyn, NY.  A hand-written letter sent by Isabella Doig to her cousin, Hugh Doig in 1870. "Brooklyn August 26 1870 My dear cousin Hugh                       It is a long time since we have heard from you but do not think that because I have not written, that we have forgotten your family for mother takes a deeper interest in yours than in others.  Since I last wrote to you I have received letters twice from uncle and aunt Dean; in the last one I learned that one of their sons, Henry, and his wife have arrived in New York a few months ago not knowing how near Brooklyn was to N.Y. and starting the next day after their arrival for the west, we were disappointed in not seeing them.  A short time ago uncle Dean sent mother a carte of each of the members of his family and to me a package of cartes of myself copied from the one you lent them.  They seem to have a very interesting family, both sons and daughters. I hope aunt, your mother is better and that brother and self are well.  During the Winter and Spring we were alone the greater part of the time for brother Robert's work called him from home but this Summer he has nothing to do so we had him constantly with us. We have had a very warm Summer for days the intense heat seemed almost unendurable; mother was constantly ill while it lasted; as she is naturally inclined to be stout it was very trying for her.  Willie has had vacation for some time past; the school generally has had from six weeks to two months every year; this agrees with him wonderfully well as he is very fond of sports especially the water; it is never too hot for him to do without one or two swims a day; if I could only make him as fond of his books, as of these I tell him I would be satisfied, it is hard work to make him sit still long enough to learn any thing. He resembles father more than any of the members of our family.  I have not heard from aunt Bella for along time, have you heard anything lately.  I had some of father's cartes taken lately of his pictures, they are excellent copies.  I will include one with this letter.  I looked carefully through your last letter and shook it out to find your carte but could not see it, did you forget to put it in?  Cousin don't wait for me to write if at any time you have the least inclination and time do it; never mind tiring yourself about a respectable letter, write anything.  I am so careless about writing I don't think I take pen in hand half a dozen times in a year to write letters.  We are all well and desire to be remembered to all.  When you write will you please say New No.590 Hicks St., Brooklyn, N.Y.  I must close now with love to you from very truly your affectionate cousin Bella C Doig" Isabella died at age 72. She was buried with her parents in Green-Wood Cemetery, Lot 18693, Section 9.  The probate records show that she died intestate, and that the value of her property was $7,000. The petition of Elsie D. Parsons of June 24, 1919 for letters of administration for the estate of Isabella C. doig lists the following a her next of kin: Mary Sprattler, niece, Patterson, NJ. Florence Vermenlen, niece, Valley Road, Patterson, NJ. Jessie Weyer, niece, 119 Marseilles Place, Garfield, NJ. Alexander Doig, nephew, 99 Palisades Avenue, Garfield, NJ. Mable Alpaugh, niece, 99 Palisades Avenue, Garfield, NJ. Elsie D. Parsons, niece, 2649 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, NY.

+    20        ii           Robert G.3 Doig, born Jan 1851 in Orange Co., NY; died 1910/20 in NY.  He married Annie (---).

      21        iii          Alexander F.3 Doig, born 6 Apr 1854 in Orange Co., NY; died 26 Jul 1862 in Brooklyn, Kings Co., NY; buried in Green-Wood Cemetery, Brooklyn, Kings Co., NY.   Notes: Alexander died 27 July 1862 of "exhaustion," and he was buried in Green-Wood Cemetery, Brooklyn, Grave 85 in Lot 3393.  His remains were removed and interred with his father’s in Lot 18693, Section 9 on 19 May 1869.

+    22        iv         William J.3 Doig, born Jul 1858 in Orange Co., NY; died 19 Jan 1912 in NY; buried 21 Jan 1912 in Fairview Cemetery, NY.  He married Mary Estella White.

 

5a. Catherine Jane2 Doig, born 26 July 1826 in Leith, Midlothian, Scotland. She married Christopher Brack.

Catherine's birth reported in Ireland on some census and in Scotland on other census. On her prison record she reported her birth on 26 July 1826 in Leith, Midlothian, Scotland. A family legend says she was a runaway from a castle. The link to father is based on Catherine Jane Brack as a witness at the marriage of her brother William Doig with the other witness Robert Gordon Doig.

In 1861 Catherine Doig (36 Ireland) was the wife of Christopher Brack at 33 Collier Street, Greengate, Salford, Lancashire with 7 children. She was not in the household in the 1871 cenus.

PENAL RECORDS of CATHERINE BRACK (nee Doig)

 

Catherine had several aliases: Catherine Brack, Elizabeth Hodson, Elizabeth Scholes, Catherine Doig and Catherine Scholes.  These display a lack of imagination on Catherine’s behalf – she used her married name, her maiden name and the name of her daughter-in-law, Elizabeth Hodson.

 

1871

This first record shows that Catherine was a charwoman aged 49 years.  She was married to Christopher Brack with whom she had nine children.  She was convicted for larceny in Salford involving the stealing of thirty six yards of linen cloth, the property of John Button, for which she was sentenced to seven years at Fulham Prison followed by seven years police supervision.  On admission to Fulham she was described as having good health, 'indifferent' conduct' and she could read and write imperfectly.  She was 5ft 2.5 inches, weighing 130 lbs, with sallow complexion and dark brown hair.  She had lost all upper front teeth and had several distinguishing marks including a scar of left wrist and a cut on right temple.  It says she was Church of England.

 
The record shows she had previous convictions in 1864 for stealing ten handkerchiefs at Salford for which she was sentenced to 2 months, in 1866 for stealing one shirt at Salford for which she was sentenced to 3 months, in 1867 for stealing 5 yards of calico for which she was sentenced to one month, and in 1869 for stealing 6 yards of flannel for which she was sentenced to one year.

In prison Catherine was employed as a knitter and cleaner.  The papers record each application she made to the Prison Governor - these are heartbreaking - for example - in May 1872 within 6 months of her arrival in Fulham she applies 'to ask if she might shake hands with her children when they visit her'.  The application was refused by the superintendent although later granted by the Prison Director.  In November 1872 she asks for special paper to write to her children - which was granted 'under special circumstances'.  In May 1873 she asked to be removed from her duties as cleaner in the Chapel - refused.

 
The records also list her prison offences - 1873 for baking 2 large pies on the stove in the old laundry for which she received one day's confinement, in 1874 for having a light burning in her cell at 4.45am also for having a candle, some pieces of lucifer matches and other articles concealed for which she received 3 days close confinement and 21 days separate confinement. 

Her medical history only shows a black eye and bruised cheek from a fall whilst in Millbank Prison before being moved to Fulham in 1871. The record lists each letter she received and sent.  It is interesting to see that she wrote to her husband on only one occasion in 1872 although he died in 1874 so perhaps he was in poor health.  She sent and received regular letters from some of her children.  During the whole period she was in prison she appeared to have one visitor in May 1875, presumably from her children.


She was released from Fulham under licence in 1875 to the refuge in Russell House in Streatham.  

1878

The second penal record shows Catherine had returned to Salford where she was up to her old tricks.  In March 1878 she caught for stealing three shirts, the property of John Dring.  She was sentenced for 10 years and a further period of 7 years police supervision.  She was still being described as a charwoman, now a widow with nine children, aged 56 years 9 months.  The record shows that she was a ‘Dissenter’ as regards religion.

 

On admission to Woking Prison, she was dark complexion, grey hair, brown eyes, 5ft 1.5 inches, and slight build. She was said to have ears pierced, slight scar on right side of face, and lost all teeth but one.  She was classified as being weak and having a malformed chest and 'v.v.leg' whatever that is, and fit only for light work.  Her occupation in prison was needlework. 

In December 1882 she sent a petition to the Secretary of State – praying for some mitigation of her long and painful sentence, pleading that she is 60 years of age and that her family are anxious and willing to receive her before her health utterly fails.  The petition was refused on account of ‘no grounds’.

 

In July 1884 she broke the rules by throwing two parcels containing tea leaves and stewed meat to C.H. 154 Wilson in the Messroom.  She was punished by making her forfeit her berth.  In December 1884 she was caught having a light in her cell for the purpose of cooking at 12.45pm.  She was given 7 days separation in the penal ward and to forfeit her special class.

 

Catherine was released on licence in December 1884.  She died 14th January 1888.

 

It is interesting from a family history point of view that Catherine told the Authorities that she was born on 26 July 1826 at Leith, Edinburgh, Scotland.  Now, obviously we don't know if the information is correct, but it is the very first clue we have as to where to the family may have come from in Scotland.

 

 

    Children of Christina Jane Doig and Christopher Brack:

        They had 9 children. Descendants to be added next upload. See HERE.

 

6. Christopher John2 Doig (Robert1), born 1828/29 in Scotland; died 22 Apr 1869 in 406 Hicks Street, Brooklyn, Kings Co., NY; buried 19 May 1869 in Green-Wood Cemetery, Brooklyn, Kings Co., NY.  He married on 14 Apr 1847 in All Saints Parish Church, Chorlton-cum-Hardy, Manchester, Lancashire, England Christiana Mackay, born 4 Jun 1826 in Liverpool, Lancashire, England; died 12 Feb 1897 in Neston (Wirral), Cheshire, England, daughter of Hugh Mackay.

 

Notes for Christopher John Doig

      Christopher was an engine smith.  The family lived for as short time in Liverpool where sons Hugh and Alexander were born. In June 1850 they lived at 5 Russell Square, Hulme, Lancashire. In 1851 Christopher [Day] (26 Scotland) was a smith residing at 46 Lloyd Street, Hulme with his wife Christiana   (27 Liverpool), sons Hugh (2 Liverpool) and Alexander (10 months Liverpool), and a lodger Robert Doig (14 Liverpool), apprentice joiner. In 1852 he was a blacksmith at 56 Juniper Street, Hulme.

     

      They then moved to Brazil where Christopher worked in a job maintaining the English Naval Fleet, which was based there. The family legend is that after the birth of their son, Christopher, in Brazil, Christopher Sr. ran away from his domineering wife and the children by jumping on a ship.  He was never again seen by his wife or children.

     

      Christopher arrived in Brooklyn in 1868, and in 1869 he lived with his brother Alexander at 406 Hicks, Brooklyn, Kings Co., NY.

     

      Christopher committed suicide by an overdose of laudanum, six days after his brother Alexander had died.  He was placed 23 Apr 1869 in a receiving tomb until the ground thawed for burial.

     

      Obituary: Brooklyn Daily Eagle, April 23, 1869.

Suicide by Taking Laudanum. - Christopher Doig, thirty-nine years of age, residing at No. 406 Hicks street, died at his residence yesterday. An inquest was held by Coroner Whitehall, when it transpired that a brother of the deceased had died a week previously, since which time he had been very low-spirited, and had finally take two ounces of Laudanum, death soon resulting therefrom. A verdict was rendered in accordance with the facts.

     

      Obituary: New York Times, April 24, 1869.

Christopher Doyle, 34 years of age, residing at No. 406 Hicks St., committed suicide on Thursday night by swallowing two ounces of laudanum. He had been in low spirits, superinduced by the death of a brother about a week ago.

     

      MARRIAGE: Witnesses were Charles Stock and Mary Jane Cabry.

 

Notes for Christiana Mackay

      After being abandoned by Christopher, Christiana and the 3 boys did not stay in South America long.  The death certificate of the second son, Alexander, shows that Christiana must have returned to England with the boys by April 1855.  She settled in Ness, a hamlet near Neston in the Wirral to be near the families of her brother, John Mackay, and her married sister, Ann Cabry, where they ran the village pub, the Wheatsheaf and a farm.   

     

      In 1871 Christina resided at 35 Cleveland Street, Toxteth Park, Lancashire with her sons Hugh (Scripture reader) and Christopher (shipping clerk), and a lodger. At the time of her son Christopher’s marriage in 1876, Christiana lived with him at 50 Dombey Street, Toxteth.  In 1881 she was a widow living as a lodger with Elizabeth Hutchins at 35 Clevedon Street, Toxteth Park, Liverpool. In 1891 she was a lodger on Parkgate Road, Great Neston, Cheshire.

Notes for Hugh Doig

      Some of his early years were spent in Pernambuco, Brazil.  Returning to Liverpool he worked in a shipping office.  He always cherished the hope of being a clergyman, and at last, after a lay-readership in the Liverpool parish and theological training at St Aidans College, Birkenhead, he was ordained in 1872 by the Bishop of Durham.  Of this happy event, speaking 30 years after, Mr Doig said; "The day I was ordained I felt there was no one in the world with whom I would have exchanged callings, and now after 30 years in the service of the Church of England I bless God that I was nurtured in it".

     

      Hugh’s first curacy was that of Esh, a mining village, near Durham.  He once rushed in between two sturdy colliers, who were fighting for a wager, one of whom declared that he would make daylight through him if he did not mind his own business; but the fight did not come off.  The colliers soon got to know and like him, and he used to recall the happy days and nights he spent among them.  From Esh he went to St. Georges Church, Bolton, a busy town parish, where he broke down in health through overwork.  Thence he sought a less laborious sphere of work in a country parish of Eccelston, where he remained seven years.

     

      In 1881 Hugh was the Curate of Eccleston residing at Hyham House, Eccleston in Chorley, Lancashire with his wife Sarah Ann, children Joseph G., Gertrude, Florence, Lilian, Harold S., a servant Louisa M. Blackstone, age 17 from Croston, Lancashire, and a visitor Mary A. Ridzard, age 42 from Leigh, Lancashire. [Note: He is incorrectly recorded in the census as Hugh Day.]

     

      In 1883 Bishop Fraser appointed him to the benefice of Saddleworth, where he labored until 1911 when health reasons compelled him resign, to his great regret.  On one occasion, speaking after 20 years' connection with Saddleworth, he said that no parish can ever be to me what Saddleworth has been.  The time may come when I shall find myself unequal to the task of traversing the hills and valleys of Saddleworth and shepherding the people who live on and in them, but I cannot contemplate parting with my people without a pang".

     

      In the 1891 census Hugh was Vicar of Saddleworth residing at the Vicarage with his wife Sarah and children Florence, Ada, Jessie, Ellis, Ernest, and Hugh.

     

      Hugh had been in a controversy, the split the parishioners of Saddleworth down the middle.  It caused Hugh sufficient distress to seriously affect his health from which he never fully recovered.  It started in 1898 when Hugh "applied for a faculty" (i.e. submitted a proposal) to change the layout of the church.  At the Vestry meeting of 18th February 1898 twelve voted for the proposal and twenty against.  It was re-submitted to another meeting on 18th July 1899 when fifty-two voted for and fifty-four voted against.

     

      In 1901 Hugh was a clergyman in Saddleworth with his daughters Florence and Jessie.

     

      The book on the "History of the Chapelry and Church of Saddleworth" records that "There was nothing in the application that any reasonable Churchman  could take exception to.  Nothing was intended which had not been accomplished in scores or hundreds of other parish churches, with advantage and ultimate general approval.  Much of the opposition was factitious and unintelligent, most of it genuine.  In course of time without precipitation, approval would have been gained".  It continues, "But the Vicar, about this time, had the misfortune to make a commendatory reference to Dr. Pusey and the leaders of the Oxford Movement in one of his sermons, from which moment began a general and overwhelming opposition to what was conceived to be a preliminary move in the direction of a Romanised Church".

     

      The application for the Faculty was successfully opposed and the situation became worse.  "Mistakes, no doubt, were made on both sides.  The Vicar attacked and replied to his opponents in the Parish Magazine.  The local newspapers of the times testify to the high feeling and general interest in the number of letters, pro and contra, published in the correspondence columns.  The affair had a marked effect on the Vicar's health, from which he never made a complete recovery.  Through all this trouble, and, as it now seems, useless rancor, he never lost the respect and affection of parishioners."

     

      "Had Mr. Doig sought his faculty later it is possible that he would have obtained it.  On more than one occasion, his people subsequently proved  in substantial fashion their regard and esteem, which after all, is the greatest and most enduring victory to have achieved.  Owing to failing health Mr. Doig resigned the living in 1912. "

     

      During the last few years of his ministry, Hugh took several long breaks, presumably to help restore his health.  In 1906 he sailed to Madeira and Teneriffe. Then in 1908 he took Sarah on a long holiday in the Canary Islands, and on their return to Plymouth, he did not rush back to Saddleworth and his work. Instead, they traveled on to spend three weeks in Torquay, sufficient long for Hugh to request his mail to be addressed there. It would appear from Jessie's postcard collection that they spent another three weeks at Torquay.

     

      In the summer of 1910, Hugh and Sarah visited their son, Ellis, in Canada.  They crossed the Atlantic in the steamship "The Virginian" sailing from Liverpool to Montreal. Ellis had been living in Canada since 1906.  To meet him, Hugh and Sarah took a five-day train ride on the Canadian Pacific Railway across the continent to Vancouver.  When it came time to return, Ellis escorted them back to Montreal and they visited Toronto and Niagara Falls.  The whole journey lasted about 3 months.

     

      In the following year, Hugh and Sarah went to Switzerland where according to a postcard they saw an airship crash down into Lake Lucerne.

     

      In 1912 on his retirement, Hugh moved with the family to Sunny Mount, Parbold where he lived until his death in 1918.  He is buried in Eccleston Church.

     

      During his retirement his health gradually failed, and at the age of 70, on the last day of the old year, he passed peacefully to his rest and joy, freed now from the trammels of his afflictions.  He is mourned by a widow and nine sons and daughters.  His mortal life is over, but he lives on in the hearts of those he leaves behind, and in the hearts of all those who remember him as a faithful pastor, a loving friend, and a wise counselor.

     

      The Probate of Hugh's will was £2335 5s 0d, of which he left £200 to his wife.  The rest had to be invested by his trustees, Joseph & Harry Hobson, and the income given to Sarah during her lifetime.  He laid down strict rules what they could invest in - they had to derive an interest of at least 3% and no investment had to made in Ireland.  On Sarah's death, the estate was to be spilt amongst his children.  The only other specific bequest was that of £600 for the maintenance and accommodation of the sons, Ernest and Hugh, whilst they were graduating at Durham and Oxford Universities.
