Erected by JOHN SILVER merchant Stonehaven in memory of his wife MARY ANN BURGESS d.23 Jan.1893 aged 63. His sons JAMES d.24 Sept.1890 aged 24, WILLIAM d.11 July 1892 aged 24, ALFRED d.29 Jan.1904 aged 28. (LHS) JOHN SILVER merchant Stonehaven d.20 Mar.1901 aged 72.

John Silver, a prominent Stonehaven businessman, was said to have provided the author Robert Louis Stevenson with the name for his Treasure Island character Long John Silver. Stevenson wrote the novel while in Braemar and his father spent time working in Stonehaven and would have been familiar with the Silver surname, maybe even the fact that one of the Silvers spent time in the West Indies. Another explanation is the headstone of a John Silver (from Maryculter) who is buried in Edinburgh at Grayfriars which can be seen from a pub that Stevenson used to frequent

Birth:
Unclear on his parentage but he is described as the son of William Reith and Elizabeth Anderson on 1851 census.
When a second William Reith was born 1860 to William and Elizabeth, Elizabeth is described as previously Watson, maiden name Anderson, so the William born about 1850, may have been brought into the marriage as a baby. Can't yet track the first William Reith either by that surname or with the alternative surname Watson.

Notes:

Emigrated to Australia. Best fit for that is a first class passenger entry for a Mr J.Silver who arrived aboard the Orsova in Perth, Western Australia in May 1920 and whose destination was Toowoomba, Queensland. His brother James was at the time living near Toowoomba. The Orsova berthed in Brisbane, Queensland on 21 May 1920. See: http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article20409199.
Also see http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article179037440 for confirmation that a Mr J.Silver arrived in Brisbane.
We also find the brothers John and James Silver together at a masonic lodge meeting at Millmerran in December 1920. See http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article198546618
There's little doubt that John Silver did join his brother James in Queensland but no record is found of his death in Australia, but other information suggests he may have gone to New Zealand.


Further information also comes from correspondence from James Murray Silver, who refers to a letter that mentions the Harvieston Silvers: There is an interesting referance in a letter written by Geo. Robertson (b. 1894, a grandson of my aunt Isabella Robertson nee Silver), to our common cousin, James Silver (b. 1890) of Atlanta, as follows:
"There were other Silver cousins. They were Alex, John, and James and Isabel. These were successful farmers of Haverston (Harvieston) just south of Stonehaven. When Alex died, John came to visit my mother on departure to Australia, probably with his nephew Alex. (nothing more ever heard of them). James was a joiner and went to Australia as also did the third son, James, of Alex (above) who, just about 1919 followed his uncle Jim out to Australia. I hope this is clear. Isa Silver above, you see, had the same name exactly as my mother. She remained single a long time but lately married an old forrester named Duncan of Banchory.
Now Alex and John after doing well dropped back by, having too successful a time, did, I think, become too fond of a dram. I remember at our grandpa's funeral they arrived at Sunnyside in a coach and horses. And believe me, few farmers at that time (about 1902) posessed such luxuries. I then was 7 or 8 yrs. and had walked 5 miles to Sunnyside. And then walked to the church yard (two miles)-- got so tired walking behind the cortage that I sat down at the side of the road in a ditch -- in fact, went on strike. The Silver coach or carriage drew up beside me and took me aboard. This was my first experience of traveling in state!
Some of the Silvers 'were nae sma drink' you can see."
NOTE: The drink reference is rather telling given that Alexander Silver's cause of death was acute alcoholism.

Died:
Even though he was supposed to have left Scotland and headed to Australia, no death record is yet found for him there. However, there is a 1920 arrival in Perth, Western Australia for a Mr J. Silver whose destination is Toowoomba, Queensland. His brother James was living near Toowoomba at the time. He is found in at least one newspaper report of being in Millmerran with his brother. Descendants of James believe John may have gone to New Zealand. There is a New Zealand death in 1930 for a John Silver aged 75 which potentially fits. However, his parents are not named on the death certificate and his birthplace is given as Glasgow.
However, there are no other death records anywhere else in the world that potentially fit this John Silver.
So, the following burial place may be his in Christchurch, New Zealand.

Notes:

Four months before his death, an illegitimate child named Jessie Silver Fenton was born at Harvieston, the daughter of Jessie Fenton, housekeeper, whose address was given as Blackburn Mearns, Tannadice, Dundee. The child's father is not given on the birth certificate.
The first conclusion to be drawn is that Alex was the child's father based on a DNA connection between her descendants and Silver descendants. It is known that in 1901 Jessie Fenton was housekeeper at Cheyne Farm near Stonehaven which is just a few miles from Harvieston Farm.

Aberdeen Press and Journal 14 February 1947, p4.
Death of Mr J.G.Bisset, bookseller
Known to generation of Aberdeen University students, Mr James G.Bisset, bookseller, who resided at Crynoch, Bieldside, has died.
Mr Bisset, who conducted the well-known Aberdeen business of Bisset's Bookshop, 85 Broad Street, was ninety-three* years of age.
He retired two years ago, after completing sixty-five years in the business.
A native of Maryculter, Mr Bisset made his business his great hobby in life, and he spared no efforts in meeting the needs of his customers.
Despite his years, Mr Bisset was a remarkably fit man, and it was only a fortnight ago that he became ill.
Predeceased by his wife some years ago, he is survived by a marriage daughter, Mrs H.R.Ferguson, who resides in Chesterfield.
Mr Bisset was precentor for many years in Cults East Church, of which he was senior elder.
*His birth record shows he was born November 1854 which means he would have only been 92.
