Thanks for responding don;t at present have a Janet Campbell but I think there are a lot of Campbells which I will need to sort out to see what I have. Farquhar I have in Glasgow from 1760 about up to present day.
Thanks again.

Do you have any information on Nancy Colvin who married John Dunlap, having son Major William Dunlap? We know the Colvins where in Augusta County before "moving" to Crab Orchard, Lincoln Co., Ky. Was their marriage at Tinkling Springs? Any help you can give us would be very much appreciated in regard to family members, etc. Thank you.

Dear Mary:

You might be interested in "The New England Historical and Genealogical Register", Vol. 152, April 1998, pages 186 through 196.

I also have information on the DUNLOP, SOMERVILLE lines if you wish to exchange information.

Sincerely,

Yes, thanks. I will access the Register . I have seen Hanna's "House of Dunlop" but still am confused about the connection with Elizabeth Muir in Ayrshire. I will send you any data you need. My William Dunlap/Dunlop was married to Nancy Colvin. Alexander, William and james were plentiful. Mary Louis

Dear Mary:

I have been going through my DUNLOP material and cannot make heads or tails out of the Alexander DUNLOP/Antonia BROWN lineage.

If you will e-mail me your address privately I will send you photocopies of my sources and you can see if you can straighten the lineage out.

I think the William who married Sarah Carstairs is related in a cousinly way to Alexander who married Antonia.

Also would like to see how you are related to Alexander. I believe that William, his cousin, returned to Scotland.

I am descended from John of Garnkirk.
