Dear Dames and Protectors of the Guild,

This will be my

final greetings to

you as your

President General.

As of the Annual

Gathering in April,

I will be turning the

reigns over to a

new group of

officers. The

Nominating

Committee Report

of the 2013-2015

Slate of Officers to

be voted on is on

page 8 of this

newsletter. My

thanks go to Karen McClendon (Chair), Sue

Smith and Mike Schenk for their hard work in

creating the slate.

It has been a real joy to have served as your

Reorganizing President General. Since many

of you will not be able to attend the first

Annual Gathering I have included the

President General’s Report with this

publication so you can see what has been

accomplished since we started the

reorganizational process in November 2011.

My thanks go to Marlene and Edward

Wilkinson for sponsoring The Guild at the

Army Navy Club. Marlene made all the

arrangements for the Inaugural Gathering. It

should be a very nice event. The Call is on the

back page. As a reminder: the date is set for

Tuesday, April 9, 2013 at 11:30am. The

officers will meet for a board meeting at

10:30am (prior to the Annual Gathering) . It

will be a luncheon followed by a business

meeting. The board voted not to have a guest

speaker so we can have some meet-and-greet

time after the business has been accomplished.

There will be many items to vote on at this

meeting. All items have been approved by

your Governing Officers so will be

recommendations from the board. The

proposed Bylaws are attached.

Personally, this chapter in my book of life has

been a memorable one. The National Guild of

St. Margaret will continue to be important to

me. I thank you for all your kind notes, well-

wishes, kudos, etc.

Your officers appreciate your support of our

efforts. If you ever have a question, please feel

free to contact any one of them.

I leave you with a favorite passage of mine

that reminds me about my love of genealogy

and lineage groups:

Give the story of it to your children, and let

them give it to their children, and their

children to another generation.

St. Margaret’s Chapel

A suggested place to visit on the St. Margaret’s Chapel website:

St Margaret's Stone

St. Margaret's Stone is a large sandstone at the entrance of

Pitreavie Business Park, located 2 miles (3 km) south southeast

of the centre of Dunfermline. The original site of the stone is

unknown.

Tradition suggests that it was here that Queen Margaret rested in

1069 after her arrival in Scotland enroute to Malcolm Canmore's

palace at Dunfermline. It is also thought she used the stone as a

resting-place on many subsequent occasions.

The stone measures 8½ feet (2.6m) long by 4 feet 7 inches

(1.4m) high and 1½ feet (.5m) thick. The stone now rests on a

stone bench-seat and is engraved with the name "St. Margaret's

Stone". An explanation of its history is on the base beneath.

The stone has been described as heavily cup-marked, but these

markings are more likely to have been the result of weathering.

The Diamond Jubilee

The President General sent a letter of congratulations from The

Diamond Jubilee. Below is her response.

Carlisle Castle by James E. Mattern, Sr. , FSA Scot

Chieftan, Clan Dunbar International

GSM #485

King David I, who reigned from 1124 to 1153, the youngest son

of Queen Margaret and King Malcolm III of Scotland, is

recorded as having financed major building at massive Carlisle

Castle, which became the center for government of his realm.

William Rufus of England erected the early wooden castle in

1092, and it was replaced with red stone in the early twelfth

century by brothers-in-law, King Henry I of England and King

David I of Scotland.

In the summer of 2009, as Chieftain of Clan Dunbar, I led a

Clan tour group to Scotland and Carlisle Castle was easily, for

me, our most memorable stop. We entered the great castle on a

clear but chilly morning, and wound our way into the Keep and

up to the second floor. We passed the great hall and more, but

nothing prepared me for what we found upstairs. Our group

entered a gallery with displays of the period, and we noticed a

heavy glass door leading off to a small chamber, heavily locked

and barred. My curious wife read the small print on the door,

and buttonholed the docent who was just leaving the chamber. I

don't know how she did it, but moments later I had the honor

and privilege of entering the small stone chamber where King

David supposedly died. As a descendant of King David this was

a heart-stopping moment - I learned later that this room is kept

closed to visitors, not only because of the respect given to King

David, but also because of the many unique carvings on the

walls leading into the chamber - almost graffiti - that prisoners

in later centuries created. (Approximately 1480)The kind-

hearted keeper kept very strict watch as several of us entered the

chamber, and took photos of the tiny room and its table draped

with the Saltire. It was an eerie feeling, posing for a photo in

King David's death chamber, and I felt as though nothing had

changed in this space since he had died, although over a

thousand years had passed. We left the chamber in awe, and the

docent very firmly said that we were not to tell anyone that we

had been there, as she locked the door behind us.

Richard Oram, in his book David I, the King Who Made

Scotland, says on page 202, "In the spring of 1153 his health

began to deteriorate sharply, knowing that his end was

approaching, David made his peace with God and prepared for

death." At length, on the morning of 29th May, he was found

dead in his bed in his chamber in the Great Tower at Carlisle.

From Carlisle, his body was carried to Dunfermline for burial in

the abbey which he had built there, to be interred alongside the

tombs of his father, mother and brothers. John of Hexham tells

how the Cortege reached the crossing of the Forth at

Queensferry, "and found the waters appearing to be uncrossable

due to wild, raging gale-force winds. When David's coffin was

placed in the boat, the winds subsided, and the vessel was able

to cross in safety, but raged again with unabated fury when its

cargo was lifted safely ashore". King David was born circa 1080

and died in 1153 at a very old age for his time .

I was also privileged to visit Dunfermline Abbey later during the

same tour, but that is another story.

Did You Know?

The Guild has its own song, “Margaret Loved the Poor.” The song was written in 1981 by Stephen Somerville. At the time Mr.

Somerville was with St. Margaret’s Parish, Midland, Ontario, Canada. Full permission to publish was granted by the composer and

obtained through the courtesy of GSM member, the late Father James S. Mc Givern. The song, sung by St. Jude’s Episcopal Church

choir in Glendale, California, for the Guild’s 10th anniversary, was under the direction of the Choir Director/Organist Russell Lloyd

Wheeler (GSM member #178).

W. Bush, George W. Bush and Gerald Ford appeared in previous issues of St. Margaret’s Journal. The

lineages of John Quincy Adams, Grover Cleveland, Calvin Coolidge, Herbert Hoover, Thomas Jefferson,

James Madison, Barack Obama, Franklin Roosevelt, Theodore Roosevelt and George Washington will be

highlighted in upcoming issues. If you know of other presidents who are lineal descendants, please send the

line to the President General to be considered for future inclusion.

Tartan

In a letter dated 10 Sep 1991 from the Founder, Mrs. Gerrie

Wheeler, to Dr. Clifton Brooks, it is stated that The National

Guild of St. Margaret of Scotland chose Caledonia Modern* as

the official tartan of The Guild.

“It is possible that this was one of the tartans favoured by the

fashionable ladies of Edinburgh, who disapproved of the Act of

the Union and were anti-government and pro-Jacobite in their

sympathies. As a sign of their feelings, they were wont to wear

tartan plaids and silken scarves. Since it belongs to no clan, it is

one of those setts which anyone not possessing a tartan of his own

or her own is entitled to wear. Its age is unknown but it almost

certainly existed at the beginning of the 18th century”.

From the Lochcarron website

Some of the members from the original St. Margaret group are not

lineal descendants of St. Margaret. The board decided to continue

the tradition of Caledonia Modern to be inclusive rather then

exclusive. By choosing Caledonia Modern all members have the

opportunity to wear a Tartan. The board also chose to allow

members to wear their Clan Tartan if they prefer.

The President General contacted three different vendors to find

one that does quality work and offered the most affordable prices.

The three were presented to the board and the vote was to have

Lochcarron USA as the official vendor of The Guild’s Tartan. The

company is based in Scotland with a warehouse in North Conway,

NH. Having the warehouse in New Hampshire enables members

to purchase true Scottish Tartan with more affordable shipping

prices as they only pay for shipping costs within the USA.

An order form for ordering ties, sashes, etc. is located on the

adjacent page. If cloth is available in Scotland members should

receive their orders within 2 weeks. If the cloth has to be woven it

can take up to 4 months to receive your order (weaving takes 12

weeks).

We hope members will have fun wearing a Tartan to the Annual

Gathering (Caledonia Modern or your Clan) or representing The

Guild at events such as Highland Games, etc. This will be a way

of honoring our Scottish roots as well as being unique during the

Hereditary Society Fortnight in Washington DC in April.

GSM Insignia and Apparel

The organization has a couple of programs available to Guild

members. The first being the official Guild insignias and second

apparel. City Pride, LTD., the official jeweler of GSM has a

wide selection of items to pick from and can be viewed on their

website, www.cityprideltd.com under hereditary jewelry. Since

inception of the insignia, orders have been steady. If you are

planning to go to Washington in April and don’t have your

insignia I’d encourage you to place your order as quickly as

possible.

For those members who have filed a supplemental through

another of St. Margaret’s children (other than the one used for

membership) a special pin, a martlet is available for purchase.

The martlet can be pinned onto the insignia ribbon or on your

lapel.

In late Fall, 2012 the tartan (Caledonia Modern) pattern, was

reintroduced as the official pattern of the Guild. Members can

choose from a number of selected items. There are ties, bow

ties, sashes, scarves, tams, mini rosette sashes and shawls.

When the initial order was placed in November for pre-orders,

extra items were ordered. I will be bringing one of each to

Washington to show and sell. If anyone has an urgent request

for a specific item (article of clothing), I will be glad to bring it

along.

If you have any questions regarding insignias or apparel you can

reach me at [email protected]. I will also have martlets

available for purchase at $15.00 each.
