Hi all-

I've been in Salt Lake on business and had an opportunity to do some deep dive research on James and John Moad. It raised a couple of questions...

For those of us that descend from these two brothers, do we agree that they were born in Scotland? I know the marriage record of John to Barbara Tillman states he was born in NC but I don't think that's likely given that James was born in Scotland.

Does anyone else believe that James and John are the James and John Mowat that were recorded leaving the Orkney Islands in September 1774 headed for Savannah?

Are we sure of their father's name? I found a set of James , John and William with approximately correct birthdates in the Orkney Islands and their fathers name was John.

Are there other siblings besides William? Perhaps sisters?

It's driving me crazy trying to sort out this connection and there are so many versions I can't seem to figure out the source of the evidence.

Thanks!
