I am a Lamont researcher and there is a large group of us who are researching the Lamonts who came from Argll and Bute Cos. Scotland into New York city, Delaware, Cortland and Tompkins Co. NY and also Susquehanna and Wayne Cos. PA.
Do you know if Nancy (McKellar) Lamont was the wife and/or widow of Peter Lamont who died 1874 in Cortland Co. NY?
Thank you for any information you may have regarding Nancy (McKellar) Lamont. Carol
