2206	(Research):The classical passage on the martyrdom of Margaret Wilson and Margaret Maclachlan is in Wodrow's The History of the Sufferings of the Church of Scotland. " Upon the 11th of May," he says, " we meet with the barbarous and wicked execution of two excellent women near Wigton, Margaret McLachlan(Lauchlison) and Margaret Wilson." Margaret Wilson, aged eighteen years, and her sister, Agnes, who was not yet thirteen years old, were the daughters of Gilbert Wilson, tenant of Glenvernoch in the parish of Penninghame, who conformed to Episcopacy. The girls adhered to the Covenants, fell into the hands of the persecutors, and were imprisoned. Later, they left the district and wandered through Carrick, Galloway, and Nithsdale with their brothers and some other Covenanters. On the death of King Charles, there was some slackening of the persecution, and the girls returned to Wigton. "There was an acquaintance of theirs, Patrick Stuart, whom they took to be a friend and wellwisher, but he was really not so, and betrayed them; being in their company, and seeking an occasion against them, he proposed drinking the king's health; this they modestly declined: upon which he went out, informed against them, and brought in a party of soldiers, and seized them. As if they had been great malefactors, they were put in the thieves' hole, and after they had been there some time, they were removed to the prison where Margaret McLauchlan was. " Margaret Maclachlan (Lauchlison)was the widow of a tenant in the parish of Kirkinner, "a country woman of more than ordinary knowledge, discretion, and prudence, and for many years of singular piety and devotion: she would take none of the oaths now pressed upon women as well as men, neither would she desist from the duties she took to be incumbent upon her, hearing Presbyterian ministers when providence gave opportunity, and joining with her Christian friends and acquaintances in prayer, and supplying her relations and acquaintances when in straits, though persecuted. It is a jest to suppose her guilty of rising in arms and rebellion, though indeed it was a part of her indictment, which she got in common form now used." She was very roughly dealt with in prison, and was allowed neither fire nor bed although she was sixty-three years of age. All the three prisoners were indicted "for rebellion, Bothwellbridge, Ayr's Moss, and being present at twenty field-conventicles". None of them had ever been within many miles of Bothwell or Ayr's Moss. "Agnes Wilson could be but eight years of age at Ayr's Moss, and her sister but about twelve or thirteen; and it was impossible they could have any access to those risings: Margaret MeLauchlan was as free as they were." When the Abjuration Oath was put to them, they refused it, the assize found them guilty, and the sentence was that "upon the 11th instant, all the three should be tied to stakes fixed within the flood-mark in the water of Blednoch near Wigton, where the sea flows at high water, there to be drowned". Gilbert Wilson secured the liberation of the younger girl under a bond of a hundred pounds sterling to present her when he was required to do so. The sentence was executed on Margaret Maclachlan (Lauchlison)and Margaret Wilson. The narrative must be given as it stands in Wodrow's History. "The two women were brought from Wigton, with a numerous crowd of spectators to so extraordinary an execution. Major Windram with some soldiers guarded them to the place of execution. The old woman's stake was a good way in beyond the other, and she was first despatched, in order to terrify the other to a compliance with such oaths and conditions as they required. But in vain, for she adhered to her principles with an unshaken steadfastness. When the water was overflowing her fellow-martyr, some about Margaret Wilson asked her, what she thought of the other now struggling with the pangs of death. She answered, what do I see but Christ (in one of his members) wrestling there. Think you that we are the sufferers? no, it is Christ in us, for he sends none a warfare upon their own charges. When Margaret Wilson was at the stake, she sang the 25th Psalm from verse 7th, downward a good way, and read the 8th chapter to the Romans with a great deal of cheerfulness, and then prayed. While at prayer, the water covered her: but before she was quite dead, they pulled her up, and held her out of the water till she was recovered, and able to speak; and then by major Windram's orders, she was asked, if she would pray for the king. She answered, 'She wished the salvation of all men, and the damnation of none.' One deeply affected with the death of the other and her case, said, 'Dear Margaret, say God save the king, say God save the king.' She answered in the greatest steadiness and composure, 'God save him, if he will, for it is his salvation I desire.' Whereupon some of her relations near by, desirous to have her life spared, if possible, called out to major Windram, 'Sir, she hath said it, she hath said it.' Whereupon the major came near, and offered her the abjuration, charging her instantly to swear it, otherwise return to the water. Most deliberately she refused, and said, ' I will not, I am one of Christ's children, let me go.' Upon which she was thrust down again into the water, where she finished her course with joy." She is the subject of the painting "The Martyr of Solway" by the artist John Everett Millais which now hangs in the Walker Gallery in Liverpool. The persecution of her parents continued after Margaret's death and the imposition of fines and the weekly journeys to pay them eventually ruined her father and he lost the farm and died in utter poverty. Her mother had to be cared for by friends- "Thus troubles continuing upon him for some years together, with his attendance upon courts at Wigton almost once a week, thirteen miles distant from his house, his going to Edinburg, and other harrassings, brought him under exceeding great losses. As a modest calculation they were about five thousand marks, and all for no action or principle of his own, for he was entirely conformist. He died some six or eight years ago in great poverty, though one of the most substantial countrymen in that country" And his wife (1711) lives, a very aged widow,relient upon the charity of friends. Reference THE COVENANTERS. By Elizabeth Oaks Smith extracted from the "Minute of The Kirk Session,Penninghame,February 19,1711." Margaret McLauchlan (Lauchlison), was the widow of John Mulligen or Millikin, carpenter, a tenant in the parish of Kirkinner, in the shire of Galloway, in the farm of Drumjargan, belonging to Colonel Vans of Barnbarroch.She had been listed as "Disorderly"in the 1684 Parishioners list .

2209	Robert is recorded as a son of Samuel in the Wilson chart held by PRONI.	Robert WILSON
2210	(Research):Samuel was born at Ballycloughan, Ireland, in 1832. He was educated at Ballymena and at first intended taking up civil engineering. For three years he worked for a brother-in-law, a linen manufacturer, but in 1852 decided to emigrate to Australia. He arrived in Melbourne in May 1852 and worked on the goldfields, but a few months later decided to join two brothers who had preceded him to Australia, and had a pastoral property in the Wimmera, Victoria. He was made manager of one of their holdings, and selling a small property he had in Ireland, with his brothers bought Longerenong station for £40,000. He dug waterholes and made dams on the property which much improved and increased its carrying capacity. Yanko station in the Riverina was then purchased and much improved. In 1869 Wilson bought his brothers' interests in their stations, afterwards bought other stations in Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland, and became very wealthy. He was interested in the Acclimatization Society of Victoria and in 1873 wrote pamphlets on the angora goat, and on the ostrich. In 1878 a paper he had written was expanded into a volume, The Californian Salmon With an Account of its Introduction into Victoria, and published in the same year. In 1879 another edition of this was published in London under the title, Salmon at the Antipodes. In 1874 Wilson gave the university of Melbourne £30,000 which with accrued interest was expended on a building in the Gothic style now known as the Wilson Hall. It was the most considerable gift or bequest that the university had received up to then. In the following year he was elected a member of the legislative council of Victoria for the Western Province, but he never took a very prominent part in politics. About the beginning of 1881 he went to England with his family and leased Hughenden Manor, once the property of the Earl of Beaconsfield. He twice contested seats for the house of commons without success, but in 1886 was elected as a conservative for Portsmouth and sat until 1892. In September 1893 he again came to Victoria and stayed until March 1895. He became ill soon after his return to England and died on 11 June 1895 Reference-Men of the Time in Australia, 1878; The Argus, 13 June 1895	Sir Samuel WILSON
2211	Samuel fled the "Killing Times" in Scotland and escaped to Ulster in an open boat in 1684.	Samuel WILSON
2212	Thomas appears on a list of withdrawers from the publick(sic) worship ,with his sisters Margaret and Agnes in September 29, 1684. Ref -"A List of the Parishioners' names within the Parish of PENIGHAME. September 29, 1684"-The Scottish Record Society. When Margaret and Agnes left their hiding places and went to Wigton to visit some of their fellow sufferers,Thomas stayed in the mountains and was lost to history,although it is thought he may have fled to Holland after Margaret's death,He served in the army of Prince William of Orange until the Revolution of 1689, when he returned to his liberated homeland. He became an elder in the Kirk of Penninghame Parish. He eventually married and moved to a farm in the Tig valley near Colmonell. in Kirkcudbrightshire, Scotland. His brothers fled to Ireland.	Thomas WILSON
2213	Thomas Wilson was tried at Montgomery Road on 17 October 1833 and was sentenced to seven years.Convicted for Assault & Robbery. He sailed on the convict ship Lady Nugent and arrived in the colony in 1835. The Lady Nugent sailed from Sheerness (a port in the Thames River, London) on 4 December 1834, with 286 male passengers on board, and arrived in Sydney on 9 April 1835. He was sent to Prospect to work for William Lawson, one of the explorers of the Blue Mountains. On 29th May 1839 he was granted a ticket of leave, six months before his sentence was completed.He served this final part of his seven year sentence with the one master, who probably resided in the Pittwater District, where his ticket-of-leave was permitted to be served. He may be the same Thomas Wilson who signed his name to the Petition for the formation of Manly as a Municipality. The family was living in Lane Cove in 1842 and in 1854 in Pittwater. They were living in Manly in 1861 when daughter Mary Jane married.	Thomas WILSON, , Transported Convict

Cricket, in its formative years in Tipperary would not have been a part life of the ordinary Templemore citizen. It was largely the preserve of the landed gentry, professional men, and the military class. However, the local newspaper evidence from the early 1860s suggests a great growth of cricket clubs around Tipperary, and this was also evident in and around Templemore. Another factor which would have facilitated this growth was the railway network which ran through the county, with clubs at Templemore, Thurles, Dundrum, Cahir, Clonmel, Nenagh, Fethard, Carrick on Suir all being regular participants. But the growth of teams also suggests that there was a great deal of local knowledge about cricket, and its laws, in Tipperary. In Templemore, a local team was established in 1861, they having their pitch in Cloone. Their first outing against the local military ended in defeat, but in the return fixture, a couple of weeks later, they ran out easy victors. The town team on this day, September 1861, was T. Woods; J. Carey; P. Gill; J. Everard; J. Casey; P. Kirwan; J. Clancy; J. O'Raftery; J. Harvey; L. Markly; D. O'Connell.
