At a time when such upsetting news travels the airwaves, this latest is perhaps the most severe blow of all.
I've known many a blowhard in my day but no creature in the style of trump has ever hit the public stage
in the same way. Usually creeps hide under bushes and in swamps . this guy has emerged as the ghoul of the month.
I personally renounce any connection to this creature other than to say that if you go back far enough everyone is related to everyone else.

Sorry, I have no idea.

 

i'm surprised to find the 'trump' info here

the ruthven line is being disputed in scotland - due to NOT being able to prove medieval lines ???

funny thing 80% of the ruthven's at that time immigrated to canada - and; we know; where they go back to

trying to find a family bible; and; a book that verifies lines back to peadie/ruthven

Sinclair
The name Sinclair is derived from 'Saint-Clair', a place name in Normandy.The family came to England as part of William the Conqueror's army in the invasion of 1066 and by 1086 two 'Saint-Clairs', Richard of Saint-Clair and Brittel of Saint-Clair, are mentioned in the Domesday Book. A William of Saint-Clair accompanied Saint Margaret of Scotland, daughter of Edward the Exile to Scotland in 1068, where she eventually married Malcolm III of Scotland. In return for his loyalty, King Malcom is said to have granted him Roslin, Scotland 'in free heritage'.

One of the earliest recorded Sinclairs in Scotland was Henry of Saint-Clair/Sinclair, who obtained a charter for the lands of Herdmanston in Haddingtonshire in 1160. The chiefs of Clan Sinclair, the Earls of Caithness, descend from William St. Clair who was sheriff of Edinburgh and who was granted the barony of Roslin (Rosslyn) in 1280.

During the Scottish–Norwegian War, Haakon IV of Norway invaded Scotland. William St. Clair commanded a wing of King Alexander III's army at the Battle of Largs in 1263, in which the Scottish forces defeated those of Harken IV. The following year, 1264, King Alexander ordered William to support the forces of the King of England at the Battle of Lewes.
During the Wars of Scottish Independence, Sir William Sinclair of Rosslyn was captured at the Battle of Dunbar (1296) and died later, probably in the Tower of London. His son, Henry, was also captured and later sent to St Briavels Castle, and in 1296 he swore fealty to Edward I of England on the Ragman Rolls.
In 1303 the Battle of Roslin took place where the Scots under Henry Sinclair of Rosslyn and Clan Comyn defeated an English force. At the Battle of Loudoun Hill in 1307, Henry supported Robert the Bruce in defeating the English.
The Sinclairs had initially favoured John Balliol's claim to the throne but later gave their loyalty to Robert the Bruce. The Sinclairs were present at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314, fighting with The Bruce - after the victory, Robert the Bruce gave William Sinclair his sword. William Sinclair, Bishop of Dunkeld, rallied the Scots army to defeat an English invading force in Fife in 1317 at the Battle of Donibristle.
Sir William Sinclair, and his brother John, accompanied Sir James Douglas in his quest to take Robert the Bruce's heart on crusade, and were among the Scots killed with Sir James Douglas at the Battle of Teba in 1330. Their bones, are said to be buried in Rosslyn Chapel.
In 1379, Sir Henry Sinclair, son and heir of William Sinclair, Lord of Roslin, and his wife Isabella (Isobel) of Strathearn and daughter of Maol Ísa, Jarl of Orkney, who was also Admiral of Scotland, claimed the Earldom of Orkney through his mother and received it from Haakon VI of Norway. In 1391, Henry conquered the Faroe Islands, and is also alleged to have voyaged as far as the Americas in 1398. The voyage to America is largely disputed. He apparently died in battle against the English around 1400.
Henry II Sinclair, Earl of Orkney was taken prisoner by the English at Battle of Homildon Hill in 1402 but was soon released. In 1406 he escorted Prince James to France but the ship was captured by the English and both were imprisoned in the Tower of London. In 1407 he escaped or was released on payment of a ransom.
William Sinclair, 1st Earl of Caithness (3rd Earl of Orkney and Baron of Roslin) was High Chancellor of Scotland between 1454 and 1458. He was granted the Earldom of Caithness in 1455, and split the family lands, disinheriting his eldest son from his first marriage, William ("the Waster"), who later became the Lord Sinclair, giving the lands of Caithness to his second son from his second marriage, William Sinclair, 2nd Earl of Caithness, in 1476, and the lands at Roslin to his eldest son from his second marriage, Sir Oliver Sinclair.
William Sinclair, 2nd Earl of Caithness, was killed fighting for James IV of Scotland at the Battle of Flodden in 1513. The Battle of Flodden caused huge losses for Clan Sinclair with 300 Sinclairs being killed, including George Sinclair of Keiss, Henry Sinclair, 4th Lord Sinclair, Sir John Sinclair of Herdmanston, the Bishop of Caithness as well as their King, James IV of Scotland.
John Sinclair, 3rd Earl of Caithness (1490–1529), was killed in an expedition to Orkney in 1529. In 1528-29 there had been insurrection led by the brothers James Sinclair and Edward Sinclair who were from the Orkney Isles against John's son, William, Lord Sinclair, who had wasted Orkney and Shetland the previous year. The Earl of Caithness was killed with 500 of his men at the Battle of Summerdale on 18 May 1529. He was succeeded by his son George Sinclair, 4th Earl of Caithness, and George's son, William Sinclair, later 5th Lord Sinclair, was taken prisoner.
In 1568, Henry Sinclair, 6th Lord Sinclair assisted Mary, Queen of Scots, to escape from Loch Leven Castle. In 1570, John Sinclair, Master of Caithness, son of George Sinclair, 4th Earl of Caithness burned the local Cathedral in pursuit of the Morays who had taken refuge in the steeple. George Sinclair, 4th Earl of Caithness later imprisoned his son, the Master of Caithness, for making peace with the Morays.
In 1588 Castle Sinclair Girnigoe withstood a siege by the Earl of Sutherland and in 1590 George Sinclair, 5th Earl of Caithness invaded Sutherland which resulted in the Battle of Clynetradwell. On 3 April 1593, George, 5th Earl of Caithness, resigned his earldom in return for novodamus (in Scottish feudal land law, a regranting of land to resolve disputes or reaffirm tenure) and remainder to his son William Sinclair. On 11 December William Sinclair of Mey was knighted by King James VI of Scotland.
On 21 October 1601, Henry Sinclair, 6th Lord Sinclair died and was succeeded by grandson Henry. In 1606, George, 5th Earl of Caithness, was by an Act of Parliament allowed to change the name of Girnigoe Castle to Sinclair Castle.
In 1650 Major Sinclair assisted James Graham, 1st Marquess of Montrose at the Battle of Carbisdale where they were defeated. They escaped to Ardvreck Castle, but were betrayed by MacLeod of Assynt, captured and executed. Sir William Sinclair of Rosslyn was killed at the Battle of Dunbar (1650) and was the last knight to be buried in full armour below Rosslyn Chapel. General Monck sacked Rosslyn Castle during the Wars of the Three Kingdoms, but the Chapel was spared. In 1651, at the Battle of Worcester, John Sinclair, 10th Lord Sinclair, was captured by Cromwell's forces and imprisoned in the Tower of London and then at Windsor Castle until 1660 when he was liberated by General Monck. In 1657, George Sinclair 6th Earl of Caithness was present when Oliver Cromwell was proclaimed Chief Magistrate of the three nations in Edinburgh.
In 1680 a feud took place between George Sinclair of Keiss and Sir John Campbell of Glenorchy over the right to the lands and title of the earldom of Caithness. This resulted in the Battle of Altimarlach, where, legend has it that so many Sinclairs were killed that the Campbells were able to cross the river without getting their feet wet.Clearly, however, the Sinclairs had influence in high places as only a few years later, in 1681, they regained the Earldom by an order of Parliament. In 1698, George Sinclair 7th Earl of Caithness died. He was succeeded by John Sinclair of Murchill (Murkle) 8th Earl, his cousin.
In 1708, Chief John, Master of Sinclair (Son of Henry Lord Sinclair) was exiled to Prussia after killing two men in duels, but was later pardoned by Anne, Queen of Great Britain. In 1715, John Master of Sinclair captured a vessel with 420 stand of arms bound for the Earl of Sutherland. In 1715, at the Battle of Sheriffmuir, David Sinclair of Brabsterdorran fought for Jacobite cause, as did John, Master of Sinclair who fled to Orkney and then to Europe after the defeat of the Jacobites.
In 1736, Sir James Sinclair of Rosslyn resigned his office as hereditary Grand Master Mason of Scotland to the Scottish Lodges on their foundation. He was later reappointed for his life. In 1739 forty-four Scottish Freemasons' Lodges met in Edinburgh to found the Grand Lodge of Scotland. William St Clair was a candidate for Grand Master and promptly became the first elected Grand Master after offering to surrender his hereditary rights.
On 4 June 1745, Sir James Sinclair of Rosslyn, a lieutenant general with the Royal Scots regiment, was appointed the commander of the British Forces in Flanders. On 16 April 1746, at the Battle of Culloden, he commanded the Royal Scots regiment on the British-Hanoverian Government side. The Jacobite rebel, John MacKenzie, Lord MacLeod, tried raising the Sinclairs in arms but had little success: only about 30 men under Sinclair of Scotscalder arrived at the place of muster, and Sinclair of Scotscalder's estates were later forfeited. However, Clan Sinclair was strongly Jacobite, but after hearing the news of the Jacobite failure at the Battle of Culloden, they allegedly decided to "sneak home again".
It was also reported that had Lord Sutherland and Lord Reay not been in their way then the Sinclairs would have been among the first of the rebels, with about 500 Caithness Sinclairs ready to join the Jacobites, despite the Earl of Caithness, their Chief, supporting the British Government. Perhaps tellingly, when Duncan Forbes, Lord Culloden, was forming the 18 Independent Highland Companies to oppose the Jacobite rising of 1745 the Sinclairs were not offered a company.
Malcolm Sinclair, 20th Earl of Caithness, 20th Lord Berriedale, 15th Baronet of Canisbay, Co. Caithness, is the current Chief of Clan Sinclair. The image shows the ruins of Castle Sinclair Girnigoe near Wick.
