Thanks for the link and perhaps reviving this chatline. The document is very helpful as it looks like it is the source for some of the information about John and Agnes exchanged in this forum. Does anyone know if the Christian Guardian obits are available for the 1840’s? I know Donald Mackenzie published a transcription of the death notices for that period, but I can’t find any on-line reference to the obits.

One of the other bits of information I am looking for is verification of John’s military record and birth place. It may be in Alexander’s obituary. Can anyone help me out on this?

One of the past posts indicated that John’s wife was Agnes Glass born in 1743 in Kinnaird, Perth, Scotland, the daughter of James Glass. Assuming this is correct, I have tentatively put together the following family history for her using FamilySearch.org:

1. Robert Glass – poss. chr. 18 Sep 1687 Kinfauns, Perth. Had issue:
a. Ann – chr. 11 Mar 1705, Kinnoud, Perth; marr. Patrick Donald 2 Jul 1731 Kinnaird, Perth
b. James – chr. 21 Sep 1707, Kinnaird, Perth; marr. Jean Gellatly 30 Jul 1731, Kinnaird, Perth. Had issue:
i. James – chr. 5 Nov 1732, Kinnaird, Perth; marr. Isobel Keir 10 Mar 1758, Kinnaird Perth
ii. William – chr. 9 Mar 1735, Longforgan, Perth
iii. Jean – chr. 24 Oct 1736, Longforgan, Perth
iv. Isobel – chr. 7 Jan 1740, Longforgan, Perth
v. Agnes – chr. 17 Apr 1743, Kinnaird, Perth, died 1819 Pelham, Ontario, marr. John Brown abt 1769
vi. Margret – chr. 27 June 1745, Kinnaird, Perth
vii. Alexander – 19 Apr 1747, Kinnaird, Perth
viii. Jean – 24 Dec 1749, Kinnaird, Perth
ix. Christian (Christina?)– 7 Feb 1753, Kilspindie, Perth

2. Patrick Gellatly – of Errol, Perth, marr. Margret Robertson 2 Feb 1792 Errol, Perth. Had issue:
a. Gilbert – chr. 17 Mar 1695, Errol, Perth
b. Patrick – chr. 23 Aug 1696, Errol, Perth
c. Jean – 17 Apr 1698, Errol, Perth
d. Jean – 17 Aug 1701, Errol, Perth, marr. James Glass 30 Jul 1731, Kinnaird, Perth
