hi evrybody i was recently sent an 80 page file on peter burt and his wife margaret beveridge.  their parents are peter burt and isabella spowart and alexander beveridge and agnes smith.  the documents sent to me leavesno doubt at all.  one is a copy of a letter written by peter burt telling of his life in scotland and his "highbrow" relatives[ i am not sure what that means] peter and margaret are buried in mt. view cemetery oregon city oregon section 100f lot 58 grave# 1 and 2. also buried there are 2 of their grandchildren archie burt 2 years old b 1879 d 1881 grave# 3 and jessie wolfsen b 1898 d 1913 grave#4.  2 of their children married into the mcarthur family of stirling.  i have lists of children birth and death certs and marriages and burials if anybody is interested.   this at least settles peter and margarets paternity once and for all.    beans

Do you still have a copy of the 80 page papers that you were sent on Peter Burt and Margaret Beveridge?  I was given the parents of Margaret as Andrew Beveridge and Euphan Hynd as her parents.  Peter and Margaret are my 3rd G Grandparents.  This information was given to me by my cousin Nathan from Oregon, USA. 
I would love to get a copy of what you have to help me put some of the pieces together.  I am working on my Burt, McArthur & Beveridge part of my tree.
Thank you for any help you can give, Elaine

Thank you Beans, I'm trying to find out who exactly Margaret Beveridge's Parents are.  I have Andrew Beveridge as her father born abt 1797.  I have been unable to find a date of death for him.  Also I only have that they were from Fife, Scotland.  I have her mother as Euphemia Hynd with a date of death abt 1894.  Both my cousin Nathan and I are unable to get any other information regarding this part of our family.  I have information regarding Peter Burt's family.  I show that Peter and Margaret were married 20 Dec 1839 in Kelty, Fife, Scotland.  They have 5 Children, 4 Girls and 1 Boy.  Daughter Isabella Spowart Burt born 9 Sep 1843 Saline, Fife was my 2nd Great Grandmother, married to David Elmer McArthur m. 1865 Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
I've gotten a great deal of current family history but once I get to Margaret Beveridge, I seem to have problems.  Since there seems to be 3 different Euphemia's who all married a Beveridge man.  I'm trying to find something that shows that Andrew Beveridge is actually the father of Margaret.
Thank you again, Elaine

margaret beveridge burts parents were alexander beveridge and agnes smith. peter burts parents were peter burt and isabell spowart. margaret beveridge burt immigrated to america on the same ship as her brother james along with his wife euphemia hynd beveridge and their two sons born in scotland alexander and james. i would have to find the papers i have on this family  but i think the ship was the satira morse    beans

Thank you, Everything that I looked at was showing Margaret Beveridge's parents are Andrew Beveridge, as her father and Euphemia Hynd, as her mother.   I couldn't make any sense of the dates.  If you find the papers you have on Margarets Parents that would be great.  Thank you for this information.  Elaine

Hello Bean, In looking back at notes that were made by a Tom, he stated that Margaret Beveridge's parents were Andrew and Euphemia.  His statement was:   
"Her parents were, (would you believe it), Andrew Beveridge and EUPHAN (Euphemia) HYND! As many of you are aware, I wrote several pages on the Euphemia Hynd saga some time ago."
So now I'm really confused as you stated her parents were Alexander Beveridge and Agnes Smith.  I've read over a lot of the notes left by Tom and he seem to have done some other research on Euphemia Hynd.  So do you have some documentation that shows her parents?  I can't seem to get a hold of this Tom person.  So not sure where or how he got his information on her parents.
Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Elaine my connection to these parents is the fact that margret and her family positively immigrated to the us. With her brother James and his family, also Tom had James wife as the wrong euphoria hynd ther were 4 of them born within a couple years of each other and James beverages death cert lists his parents as Alexander and Agnes there children the sons 1 Alexander 2 James. Eupemia hinds fathers name was James their daughters eliabeth born and died in Scotland in 1848 euphemias mothers name Elizabeth their second daughter was Agnes after his mother I was told there was a third daughter named euphemia but have been unable to verify that a's she would have been born before mandatory registration in the us. I trust the fact that Margaret and James were brother and sister and that his death lists Alexander and Agnes a's his parents

Thank you Bean.  I've made corrections to my tree.  Margaret Beveridge and Peter Burt were my 3rd Great Grandparents.  Its been interesting to piece together all the parts of the family.  I can say there are a whole lot of them and can easily get side tracked.
Thank you again for your help. Elaine
