Robertson Family Lore
There once lived a High King of Ireland named Eterscél Mór, who fell deeply in love with the beautiful Mess Búachalla and made her his Queen. Legend has it that an unidentified man in the form of a bird flew in through her skylight. She gave birth to her son, Conaire Mór, who grew up as Eterscél's son and inherited the kingdom. 2,145 years later, his 63rd great-granddaughter married me. The End. Or, is that just the Beginning?
Someone should write a book about this fascinating Robertson family! Oh, wait, someone did. William Shakespeare wrote a historical fiction in which Duncan I was betrayed by his cousin, Macbeth.
"Historically, Macbeth (Mac Bethad mac Findláich) and Duncan (Donnchad mac Crínáin) were indeed cousins and rivals for the Scottish throne. The historical Macbeth killed Duncan I in battle in 1040, not in his sleep, and then became king." Google
Duncan was temporarily buried at Elgin where he died, then moved to his final resting place on the island of Iona. "Iona Abbey's Royal Burial Ground (Reilig Odhráin) holds the tombs of many Scottish monarchs, including Duncan and Macbeth, linking them to this significant early Christian site." Google
The Annals of the Four Masters, chiefly compiled by the Franciscan friar Mícheál Ó Cléirigh, and the earlier Annals of Ulster compiled by scribe Ruaidhrí Ó Luinín comprise two of the principal among many works chronicling the medieval and ancient histories, legends, and myths of this royal pedigree that stretches from Clifton and Louise in Kentucky to Adam and Eve in Eden -- according to fable, the 122nd Great-Grandparents of Cheryl, Marielle, Dianne, and Lela. Sure, there may be discrepancies along the way and fictional characters invented in the prehistoric record stemming from any number of religious, political, or other reasons. Yet, exploration of this rich genealogical heritage is a profoundly spiritual journey, bringing to life the individuals and traditions of every successive generation. Historical, legendary, and mythical names, places, stories, and identities are illuminated for every set of parents, connecting the present and eternal future with the prehistoric and eternal past. There is a living spirit represented by each name. Something about each life gave root to a story, however embellished from one generation to the next. Whatever the authenticity of the details, the engaging traditions collapse time into a compelling narrative. Fascinating tales encompass the founding of cities, the establishment of kingdoms, military conquests, royal dynasties, and the socio-religious Celtic legacy of many countries, predominantly Ireland, Scotland, and the United States.
The 27 historical generations from Duncan I (Donnchadh mac Crìonain) to Cheryl's father are expected to be sufficiently confirmed by credible documentation. The 53 generations from Ollom Fotla to Duncan would naturally rely heavily on oral tradition, perhaps including fantastical legends surrounding mythic characters and ancient landmarks. The tales of preceding generations tell a whole different kind of story, chronicling an epic odyssey of conquest and adventure through 36 mythological generations, from Noah to Ollom Fotla, creating an identity and culture intended to preserve a familial mystery and connection that would last through all the generations of all the descendants for all time. The 10 generations described in the Bible as bridging the gap from Adam to Noah establish a final genealogical punctuation to a heritage rooted in the divine.
So YHWH fashioned an earth creature out of the clay of the earth, and blew into its nostrils the breath of life. And the earth creature became a living being. (Genesis 2:7, The Inclusive Bible)

Alexander Robertson 1440-1505, born Alexander Duncanson, was the first to use the surname Robertson. "The clan name "Robertson" was adopted from this Robert after he captured the assassins of King James I in 1437, an act for which he was granted a royal charter." Google

"I've been told the Robertsons came from Dickson Tn." Marielle Robertson, Family Research Book
Apparently, James, likely as a child with his family, moved from Dover to Dickson sometime between his birth in 1809 and his marriage in 1829.
"James was born in 1809 in Middle Tennessee (variously cited as Stewart or Dickson County). During this period, his family was part of the early settlement of Dickson County, which was formed in 1803 from Montgomery and Robertson counties." Google
The marriage record states that he married Ann Marie Ragan in 1829 in Dickson.
Some sources indicate the move from Dickson, Tennessee to Canton, Kentucky to have been made "shortly after their marriage" in 1829, (Google), but census records indicate the move took place after 1860. Perhaps this would indicate some other moves during that time.

- 4th Chief of Clan Donnachaidh
- The Surname Transition: While he was known as Robert Duncanson, he is the reason the clan eventually became the Robertsons. His son, Alexander, adopted the surname "Robertson" (Robert's son) specifically to honor his father's heroic deed of capturing the assassins of King James I in 1437. Google
- Barony of Struan: In 1451, King James II rewarded Robert Duncanson by consolidating his lands into the Barony of Struan. Google
- Heraldry: His legacy remains visible in the Robertson clan's coat of arms, which features a "savage man in chains" representing the assassin (Sir Robert Graham) whom Robert Duncanson captured. Google
