James Marchbank Sr.1
M, #514
| Birth* | James Marchbank Sr. was born in Annan, Dumfriesshire, Scotland. birth records lost at sea.1 |
| Biographical Note* |
Islanders' Roots Discovered -
"A British researcher has found some traces of the Scottish ancestors of the Marchbank branch of the family in Prince Edward Island. Duncan Adamson, who was engaged by Roger Marjoribanks, and financed by the Research Fund, has found the baptismal record of David Marchbank, the first-born son of James Marchbank and Mary Walker who came to the Island in 1825 from Annandale in Dumfriesshire. The records of the parish of Ruthwell show that David was born to James Marchbank and Mary Walker on January 20, 1813 on a small and remote farm called Twathats, about half a kilometre from Carrutherston in Dumfriesshire. Mary was 21 at the time of David's birth."
"Some time after David's birth, the family moved, presumably to the farm called "Outermains," but, in any case, to the Annandale district where their second son, Samuel, was born. David died young, before James, Mary and Samuel immigrated to Prince Edward Island."
"Nothing more is known for certain about James except that he had left the Twathats farm and the parish of Ruthwell and moved to Annandale before their second son, Samuel, was born. After studying Mr. Adamson's evidence, Roger believes that it was likely that James came from Johnstone parish, just south of the Marjoribanks home parish of Kirkpatrick-Juxta, and that he was born in the early or middle 1780s. His father may well have been Samuel Marchbank of Greenrig in that parish. By 1812 James had moved to Cummertrees parish where he met and married Mary Walker, the third daughter and fourth child of David Walker and Margaret Hetherton. Mary was born on Wintersheugh farm but her family later moved to Priestside in the same parish. Most of the evidence suggests that Outermains was a farm on the river Annan on the estate belonging to Hoddam Castle and is now known as Hoddam Mains. There was an Outermains farm on the estate at least until 1804."

John William Marchbank
M, #16, b. 1869, d. 1946
| Biographical Note* | Jack Marchbank's Yukon Saloons:
From Dawson in Canada's Yukon Territory comes new light on the career of Peg-Leg Jack Marchbank who made a fortune in the Klondike Gold Rush in the latter part of the last century and later became the all-powerful czar of the San Francisco gambling industry.
As often suspected, Jack didn't become rich panning for gold. He made his money running gambling saloons, Murray Lundberg, a Dawson City researcher, says he found Jack's record in an inventory of Yukon roadhouses. It shows that he and a partner, C. Kelly, leased the Northern Hotel & Bar in Dawson in March, 1899 and a month later it burned down at a loss of $30,000. Within a few weeks he had opened a new business, The Horseshoe Saloon & Music Hall on Front Street in Dawson, but he gave that up three months later and moved to Bennett City, just over the Yukon border in British Columbia. Almost three years later he was back in Dawson and listed as the owner of the Del Monte Saloon on First Avenue. He did try his hand at gold-mining and is listed as the owner of a placer gold claim at Dominion Creek but it's not known whether it ever yielded him a profit. In any case, by 1902 he had transferred his operations to the San Francisco suburb of Daley City. He named his first saloon there the Northern, after his ill-fated Northern Hotel in Dawson. His second, more pretentious, establishment was called the Villa San Mateo. Perhaps his most profitable investment was San Francisco's Tanforan Race Track which he bought in 1928 for $285,000. He left several million dollars to his secretary whom he married shortly before his death in 1947. He was born John William Marchbank in 1862 at DeSable, Prince Edward Island, a grandson of James Marchbank of Outermains, the first of the Island Marchbanks.1 |
| Birth* | John William Marchbank was born in 1869 in DeSable, Queens County, Prince Edward Island.2,3 |
| He was the son of John Marchbank and Jane Johnstone. |
| Baptism | John William Marchbank was baptized on 29 March 1870 in the United Church, Hampton, Queens County, Prince Edward Island, Canada.2 |
| (brother) Census HeadHousehold | He was enumerated on the census of 1881 in the household of David Marchbank as a brother, in Lot 29, DeSable, Queens County, Prince Edward Island, Canada; Enumerated in David's household were his wife Minnie, daughter Gracie, sisters Elizabeth, Barbara, Adelaide and Margaret, and brother John. All members of the household were listed as Presbyterian. John and Margaret were listed as going to school.3 |
