Welcome to Franklin County, KY History
Jane Moore Julian, wife of Charles Alexander Julian
Charles
Alexander Julian married Miss Jane Moore, a daughter of Edward Moore and
Ellen McDonald Moore, his wife, of Fredericksburg, Virginia. Mr. Moore
was born
in
England and emigrated to America when a lad and settled in Fredericksburg,
Virginia, where he married Ellen McDonald, daughter of Donald McDonald. The
McDonald
ancestors
migrated from Scotland to Antrim, Ireland in the fourteenth
century.
Browning
in his "Royal Americans", says that Donald McDonald was a lineal
descendant of Robert ll, King of Scotland (1370-1390), whose daughter, Princess
Margaret
Stuart
of Scotland, was the second wife of Angus Mor McDonald, Lord of the Isles,
whose descent O'Hart in his "Irish Pedigrees" 3rd edition, traces still further
back through
the
ancestry of Conn Cheadeath to Sumerledus McDonald, the eight and greatest
Thane of Argyle 1140, and founder of the Isles. Though this line of ancestry
Donald McDonald
was
connected with many of the great and noble families of three kingdoms, being
a cousin of the Earl of Antrim; and through this line of ancestry his descendants
have come
into
the same coat of arms which still emblazons the gate of the castle of the
Earl of Antrim, which my sister in her recent travels visited and describes
as so beautifully.
"Situated
at Glenarm, immediately upon the sea shore, and bearing no marks of age except
in its style of architecture. It is still owned by the descendants
of the last Earl of
Antrim,
who show great pride in their coat of arms as a badge of
royalty".
