After being educated at Eton and Queen's College, Cambridge , he became a curate at Leatherhead in Surrey. Palmer came under the influence of the radical preacher, Joseph Priestley . Palmer became dissatisfied with the doctrines of the Church of England and moved to Montrose in Scotland where he joined a group of Unitarians who had opened a chapel in the town. For the next few years Thomas Fyshe Palmer toured Scotland making speeches and helping to form Unitarian groups. He played an active role in the campaign in Scotland for religious toleration. Palmer also wrote and published pamphlets on his religious views. As well as Unitarian tracts, Palmer wrote pamphlets advocating parliamentary reform and universal suffrage. In April 1792

Thomas Muir graduated M.A. at Glasgow University in 1782. He intended to enter the church but decided to read law instead. On account of his share in writing a lampoon on his professors, however, he was expelled from Glasgow and moved to Edinburgh, where he completed his legal studies in 1787, being admitted to the Faculty of Advocates. A church elder at Cadder, Lanarkshire, he occasionally pleaded without fee for those he considered oppressed.

Clans Tartans History Travel ... Contact Us Muir, Thomas Otter Muir was a man of noble character and ideals, who had the misfortune to be tried before a hostile jury and bench of judges at a time of popular excitement. Lord Cockburn begins his account of his trial with the words: "This is one of the cases the memory whereof never perisheth. History cannot let its injustice alone" ( An Examination of the Trials for Sedition ). The only mitigating circumstances were that Muir was able to engage a cabin on his way to Australia, and that while there he was able to live quietly in retirement and was not treated as a convict. He has been referred to as the author of The Telegraph; a Consolatory Epistle from Thomas Muir, Esq., of Botany Bay, to the Hon. Henry Erskine late Dean of the Faculty , which has also been called the first publication of verse written in Australia. It was neither written by Muir nor in Australia. Muir had left Australia long before he could have heard of the matters referred to in the pamphlet. In Australia Muir is possibly only known to students of history, though it is sometimes stated that Hunter's Hill, a suburb of Sydney, was named after a property he had of that name. His farm, however, appears to have been near Milson's Point. There is a monument on Calton Hill, Edinburgh, to the men generally known as "The Scottish Martyrs", which was erected in 1844. Muir's name appears first on the list, and a short quotation from one of his speeches is also engraved on the stone.

George was a shoemaker in Biggar and it was in that town, about 15km from the town of Thomas's birth, that Thomas was brought up. He attended an independent school in Wishaw, about half way between Biggar and Glasgow, and there his favourite subject was Greek. Thomas entered the University of Glasgow intending to study his favourite subject of Greek. Indeed he started on a classics course, showing outstanding ability in Greek, but Thomson (later Lord Kelvin) recognised his genius for mathematics and persuaded him to study that subject. Many years later Muir recalled his days at Glasgow University, saying:- I remember Lord Kelvin showing me the first gramophone.

The son of a hop merchant, he was educated at Glasgow Grammar School, before attending the University of Glasgow to study divinity. He changed his studies though and began the study of sociology attending many of the classes of John Millar Millar was an advocate of parliamentary reform and a republican also. He had a profound influence on Muir who came to hold similar views. Muir was expelled from the university for trying to have John Anderson reinstated as a member of staff. Millar assisted Muir in enrolling at the University of Edinburgh , and in he joined the Facutly of Advocates as a qualified lawyer. Muir represented many poor clients who couldn't afford legal fees and became a critic of the legal system which he felt was skewed in favour of the rich at the expense of the poor. About the time of the French Revolution the Friends of the People Society was established, and Muir became a member. He became a leading figure as he tried to organise a nationwide convention of Friends of the People societies to co-ordinate the pressure for parliamentary reform.

33. Siol Nan Gaidheal - Thomas Muir Of Huntershill thomas muir, a barrister, who had become a member of the Honourable Faculty of Below is the declaration from the dock of thomas muir of Huntershill. http://www.siol-nan-gaidheal.com/muir.htm

Siol nan Gaidheal Thomas Muir The Dawn of Democracy. The French Revolution in 1789 proved to be a catalyst that showed up the latent antagonism in the Scottish People. In particular, the poor labouring peoples, many of who were ousted from the land by agricultural improvements, or the weavers who were forced to endure wage cuts with the onset of machinery. For people such as these, the events in France were an inspiration. Thomas Paine published the first part of his book, The Rights of Man , in 1791 and immediately became a hero. The book sold over a million copies and was even translated into Gaelic. In 1792 an émigré Scottish shoemaker, named Thomas Hardy, formed the London Corresponding Society, That same year, Societies of Friends of the People sprung up throughout Scotland attracting professional as well as artisan members. Thomas Muir, a barrister, who had become a member of the Honourable Faculty of Advocates in 1787 aged only 22, was the leading light of the Glasgow society. Muir had many contacts in the French revolutionary government and was a great friend of the Girondist leader, La Fayette. It was therefore due to Muir that communications were exchanged with the French that led to their appointing Citoyen Pétry as "agent de la marine et du commerce" in Scotland in October 1792 to report on the conditions there. As a direct result of his findings, by December, the French Government had decided that France would spare no expense to support a republican insurrection in both Scotland and Ireland and on December 14, a resolution was passed to this effect.

I have been researching my family history since about 1995 when I realised that no one living knew anything about our father's ancestors. (Our maternal side, mostly in Jersey and New Zealand, had been quite well researched previously back to the C16.) All I was told as a child was that "Every generation had a doctor, or someone in the Royal Navy —or both— and we are related to THE Thomas Muir." Well, nearly true... Left: all that remains of my great grandfather George William Muir's (picture top left) which he was awarded by the French for his service as Captain Stephen Lushington's ADC in the Naval Brigade during the Russian (or Crimean) War of 1854 to 1856. As a result of this family connection I am now a keen student of this period and am a member of the Crimean War Research Society. Thomas Muir of Huntershill I am not related to THE Thomas Muir, though I was always told I was! But I am named after him! Click image for my small page about him with useful links. My wife Helen died in 1993 after a three year struggle with breast cancer. We now sell her botanical watercolours as cards and prints to raise money for the Huddersfield Royal Infirmary Breast Clinic. Click to find out more. "Mille millions de mille sabords...!"

37. THOMAS MUIR OF HUNTERSHILL Brief page about thomas muir of Huntershill with links to other sites. http://www.thomasmuir.com/huntershill.html

A GENEALOGICAL PROBLEM All through the first forty years of my life I heard from members of the older generations of my family that "they believed that we were related to Thomas Muir of Huntershill." But no one was quite sure how. There is a very good reason for that: we're not! I am 95% certain. I have traced our Muir line back to a George Muir who was the right age to be a possible cousin of Thomas Muir. Unfortunately his probable place of birth and parents would seem to exclude the possibility of any connection. It will have been noticed that I write "possible cousin." Herein lies the problem with all alleged connections to Thomas Muir of Huntershill. Thomas Muir never married. He didn't have time in his short life. It is almost certain he had no issue. (And there appears to be nothing to suggest he even had a lover at any time.) He had one sister who married a former Royal Naval officer called David Blair. This leaves us with the siblings of TM's parents, James and Margaret, née Smith. I have found it a complete nightmare trying to identify TM's uncles and aunts, and I am beginning to think it is impossible. James is believed to have had several brothers, but I don't know who they were for certain. The Political Martyrs' Monument, Calton Old Burial Ground, Edin. Photographed from the top of Calton Hill.
