Anyone know if there are any records of those executed after Culloden?  It's a bit hard to come up with the exact details, but I have a volume which gives some info. It's "Prince Charles Stuart by Alex Charles Ewald".  He stops short of listing everything but he does give a detailed list of those who stood trial at Southwark, Carlisle and York. I've estimated that there looks to be about 350 names approximately with quite a high proportion in fact being English Jacobites.  Many people were offered transportation as an alternative to trial and possible execution if they admitted guilt without trial, and most seem to have taken that option. Those who were forced to stand trial tended to be, though not exclusively, from four categories. They were aristocracy; well known ardent Jacobites; they were English; or they refused the option of transportation.   Around 60 or so were found not  guilty and are marked with an asterisk. From other sources I've read that about 80 of those found guilty were executed.  The rest were supposedly transported, enlisted or exiled.
  Ewald also gives a list from papers in the Attorney Generals Office concerning those who didn't stand trial. A typical extract is
 "John Arbuthnot and 747 others were pardoned on condition of transportation for life"

        From:           Carol Rae           
I've had a difficult time trying to sort out info my mother told me... Apparently I might be related to Nathaniel Milliken (Millikin) who married in Holestone, Kilbride, Co Antrim 1847 Susannah Arbuthnot (born 1826). Or Susanna Arbuthnot (born c.1823) who married in Donegore, Co Antrim 30 December 1844 Nathaniel Milliken. From the 1881 Census (England) I found my GG. Grandmother's maiden name though her unmarried Sister living with them... I can't find a marriage in England  David Luker and Sarah Elizabeth Millikin. Sarah E. Millikin (Milliken) was born in Ireland about 1849... But I think she would have been called different names as Elizabeth and Sarah were transposed... If there were children with the same name.. So she could have been referred to as either Elizabeth or Sarah.... Depending on which generation.. Anyway I tried to find her Sister Annie Milliken (Millikin) who was born in Plumstead, Kent on the 1881.. She was 15 at the time... But that did not mention, she was registered in Plumstead. So I found that a Annie Millikin was born in 1865 to Nathaniel Milliken and Susanna Arbuthnot..... She had an older sister Elizabeth Milliken born Holestone  18th Oct. 1853 on the LDS site. 1881 census shows Elizabeth Milligan (born Plumstead 1857), general servant in Woolwich, Kent. Which could be my link?

WARNING         A number of 4-1-9 scam artists are looking for people (i.e. you) to act as next-of-kin to Mr ______ (Pitt, Donald - the name varies) Arbuthnot who was employed by a Nigerian company (usually Shell) when he, his wife and one / three children were killed in a car crash. Happily he left $17m $13m $12.5m (once it was only $10m) in an account.  Forget it - he doesn't exist - don't get conned. Sometimes they "prove it" with phoney photographs (the deceased & his family), certificates {the deposit, the death certificate,  a newspaper article, a visiting card, their (or somebody else's) accreditation as an "accountant" , "barrister" / "solicitor" (usually the idiots are both because they don't know the difference)}, web-sites (the bank, lawfirm, list of lawyers) created by a person with a false address using a hotmail / yahoo account. They are all (easily) forged and they won't stack up, for example the fellow supposedly died 1999 but the death certificate is dated 2099. The signatures (of the deceased, the lawyer / accountant) may look identical [when have you ever signed identically to another occasion?]. It all has to be finalised in a great hurry, lest the account be appropriated by the government / bank. The plan is to persuade you to send off money to register the death and bribe obstructive officials. Or to send a copy of your passport or driving licence [don't do it].  Or to send details of your bank account (etc) into which they will trustingly transfer this money [would you believe?].   If you found this Warning useful, please let us know.

40    Date:          8 October 2002
        From:          Hannah Nelligan.         Table 8
        Who is:       Thomas Arbuthnot who deserted the British Navy to fight with the Highlanders at Culloden. He is shown in "Scottish Clans and Tartans" by Neil Grant, published by Crescent Books, New York in 1987 on page 34 of which they show a piece of the tartan that he wore that day ("It is a prize piece in the John Telfer Dunbar collection now held by the Scottish Tartans Society and to be seen at the museum at Comrie, Perthshire"). Do you know anything about him? What happened to him?
RESPONSE: Sorry, we don't know who he is.
Is the tartan he wore anything like the one that we now have? The cloth in the picture was very faded and it was hard to tell what might have been the original colours.
RESPONSE: Nothing like. The tartan we now have was designed in 1962 and is based on the Black Watch. The design of tartans worn at Culloden frequently meant very little;  linking them with Regiments and families was something that was pushed forward by the Victorians.
