| 7356 | Samuel may have assisted his mother with taking care of an inn. He was a member of the militia. In October, 1698, he was commissioned Ensign of the North Train Band at Hartford. In July 1705, he sold land in Hartford to his brother, Thomas Gilbert of Boston, mariner. He sold the inn property in Hartford to Capt. Caleb Williamson. About the same time he leased to William Worthington a place on the highway running south from Wyllys Street in Hartford. Worthington bought the property in 1709 and kept an inn there until he moved to Colchester in 1717. Perhaps about 1706, Ensign Gilbert moved his family to Colchester. In May 1707, he was confirmed Captain of the Train Band in Colchester. In 1709 he was Captain of a company in Colonel William Whiting's regiment in an expedition to Canada. April 8, 1724, Capt. Samuel Gilbert, then of Lyme but late of Colchester, sold to Joseph Otis of Scituate, MA, "all my farm in Colchester, 280 acres." In the same month he gave or sold land to his son, Nathaniel Gilbert and moved to Paugwonk, within the limits of Lyme. Paugwonk was partly in colchester, partly in Lyme and became the town of Salem in 1803. Source: The Gilbert Family, Descendants of Thomas Gilbert, 1582(?)-1659 of Mt.

| 7381 | Story 1: Robert McKechnie was born in Ireland (place unknown) about 1810. He married Margaret Watters in Cardross Parish, Dunbartonshire, Scotland, on 9 March 1833. Their son, Robert McKechnie, was born in Glasgow 16 June 1834. He emigrated to Canada, married Isabelle Ross (17 Jan 1858) and settled in Dundas, Ontario. Alternative Story Two immigrant Scotsmen, John Bertram and Robert McKechnie, entered into partnership in 1863 in a small plant which they named Canada Tool Works, in Dundas, Ontario. This was the beginning of the John Bertram and Sons Company Limited, a Canadian pioneer in machine tools manufacture, known now as Bertram Machine and Tool Company, a division of Levy Industries Limited. Before the partnership was formed, John McKechnie had operated a small pattern and machine shop making planers, molding machines and shapers for wood. By the time John Bertram joined him, the new era of large-scale railroad production had inaugurated a demand for maintenance tools and engineering equipment for car and locomotive shops, and was boosting the production of metal machine tools. McKechnie & Bertram gradually discontinued the manufacture of woodworking tools and by the 1880's the firm was making a variety of standard machine tools as well as others specially designed for the locomotive industry, such as car wheel lathes, car wheel borers and a multiple spindle drill. Later, as stationary steam engines were replaced by electric power, the company supplied machine tools that were used in manufacturing the large generators and motors required for production and use of electricity. The McKechnie & Bertram partnership continued until Robert McKechnie's retirement in 1886. John Bertram died in 1906. His eldest son, Alexander (later Brigadier-General Sir Alexander Bertram) became President, and his brother Henry, Secretary-Treasurer. Alexander, Chairman of the Shell Committee during World War I, was knighted for his work in organizing munitions manufacturing in Canada; his brother Henry organized Bertram's for war production and supervised the development of the necessary new machine tools. Third Story McKechnie & Bertram was founded in 1863 in Dundas, Ontario; their manufactory was known as the Canada Tool Works. The founders were Robert McKechnie (1836-?) and John Bertram (1829-1906). McKechnie & Bertram was a major supplier to railway companies, especially the Canadian Pacific Railway. In 1872 they had 150 employees. McKechnie & Bertram became John Bertram & Sons in 1886; the Canada Tools Works name was also used for many years. In 1901 the name became John Bertram & Sons Co., Ltd. to comply with Canada's new Companies Act. Within a few years of their inception in 1864, McKechnie & Bertram manufactured a broad line of woodworking machinery, including planers, matchers, molders, tenoners, shapers, scrollsaw, and lathes. This line continued until at least 1888. Over time, the woodworking machinery products were gradually dropped in favor of the machine tools. This process was essentially complete by 1901, when their products were "machine tools, machines, and pulp and paper machines". In about 1908 the machine-tool line was sold to Niles-Bement-Pond Co. of Jersey City, NJ. In 1951 the Bertram family sold the rest of the John Bertram company to a holding company, Russell Industries, Ltd. of Toronto. The company subsequently changed hands several times, but retained the Bertram name. In 1974 it became Orenstein & Koppel Canada, Ltd. The doors finally closed in 1986. In 1996 their Dundas factory was demolished to make room for condominiums. | McKechnie, Robert (I488)

| 7382 | SUBMITTED BY CARL JAMES DECKER, DUNEDIN, FLORIDA (history.net) While he was still a young boy, Romanzo Mortimer Buck moved with his family from his birthplace of Livingston County, New York, to the town of Paw Paw in Van Buren County, Michigan. It was his first taste of travel, and for a long time it appeared as though it would be his last. With no pressing reason to leave, Buck remained in Paw Paw for the next 20 years. When the Civil War erupted, Buck, brimming with patriotism, found a reason to travel once again. A 29-year-old dry-goods clerk, he was nearly a decade older than many other would-be soldiers when he left Paw Paw to enlist in the Union army. He traveled to Detroit and joined the 4th Michigan Cavalry just after it formed in August 1862. That same day he was made first sergeant in Company C. The tintype at left shows him as a quartermaster sergeant early in December 1862, while his unit was stationed in central Tennessee. Attached to the Army of the Ohio, Buck's unit fought in the Battle of Wilson's Creek, Tennessee, on December 11. Two weeks later, Buck received his first officer's commission, becoming a second lieutenant. Over the next few weeks, the 4th Michigan Cavalry fought in the Battle of Murfreesboro, Tennessee, before being absorbed by the Army of the Cumberland in January 1863. In late February, Buck was promoted to first lieutenant. Near Nashville, Buck contracted chronic diarrhea, a condition he would suffer through the summer. Even so, he rode with his unit into the Battle of Chickamauga, Georgia, in September. The 4th strayed little from Georgia during the next nine months, and finally, on June 27, 1864, it took part in an assault on Kennesaw Mountain. Two months later, the regiment, by then a part of the Military Division of Mississippi, participated in Brigadier General Hugh Judson Kilpatrick's raid on Atlanta in August. Buck received a promotion to captain on January 1, 1865, but during the long campaign around the Georgia capital, he, like many others in his unit, contracted rheumatism. Though he was given a 30-day convalescent leave, he never recovered fully from either illness. (He would be awarded a disability pension of $8 a month on May 27, 1881.) As the war drew to a close, Buck helped to pursue and capture fugitive Confederate President Jefferson Davis near Irwinville, Georgia, on May 10, 1865. The 4th Michigan Cavalry was mustered out in Nashville on July 1, and Buck returned to Paw Paw to become a merchant. He married Ellen A. Durkee on March 20, 1867, and the couple had a daughter, Gertrude, on November 7, 1874. With his travels ended, Buck lived the rest of his life in Paw Paw and died there in December 1902. ... | Buck, Romanzo Mortimer (I11212)

| 7398 | The Milford Times", 2 November 1901 (Digital Michigan Newspapers Highland Station. A very pleasant gathering was held at the town hall Friday evening, Oct. 18, when about forty of the young people of this vicinity met to spend a few hours in sociability and to bid good-bye to Rollo and Seymour Baker who were about to take a trip to California where they will spend the winter with their older brother, George, at Rocklin. It is hoped that the change will be beneficial to Seymour, who was advised by his physician to seek a milder climate, for the winter at least, that he might regain his health. As a parting gift the young people presented Rollo with a traveler?s drinking cup of silver and to Seymour a gold watch chain was given. | Baker, Seymour (I15466)
