Dear Mr. Nisbett,
I am working on the family tree of my sister-in-law, Mary Anne
Connell Huber. One of her great-grandparents was Ellen
Valentine Nisbett, the youngest of the many children of John
Bosworth Nisbett and Mary
Taylor. According to a record I found in the IGI, John married Mary on Sept. 6 1846 in
Birmingham,
Warwick and he had previously married Elizabeth
Taylor in 1834. My sister-in-law knew her very long-lived great grandmother, and she said that Elizabeth was a widow, and Mary was her child by her first husband. John B. Nisbett then married his stepdaughter after Elizabeth died "for the sake of propriety" (?!?). I've totaled up thirteen children of John and Mary so far, including your grandfather Edward.
I would be *extremely* delighted to compare notes with you at your convenience!
