I have Gibsons in my lineage. In fact, there were MacMorran/Gibson reunions in Ulster, Pennsylvania starting in 1909. Some Gibsons who lived in Ulster, PA were William Gibson 1793-1858 who married Jane Morton, 1795-1872. They came to the US in 1918 from Ayrshire, Scotland. Another William Gibson 1805-1869 married Mary McMorran, 1816-1886.

PS. My wife was a McTaggert.

I have done my Sproat family genealogy back to KKD near Borgue. I have found the name Jolly and Houston, as well as Sproat. I noticed you have reference to William Jolly and Janet Sproat of Twynholm. Have you done more genealogy research since 2005? Possibly my information and yours can be used to further both our researches.

Hello, my family tree has William Jolly and Janet Sproat of Twynholm being married on May 6, 1828 and having 5 children...Jane, Jessie, Samuel, Jeannie and Sopia. I believe Samuel Jolly, born March 14, 1833 married Anne Hanning Gibson, on Feb. 2 1860 in Standingstone, Borgue, not sure of the names of their children though, do you happen to have a record of this?
The Watson comes in when Samuel's sister, Jessie married James Watson, but I don't have a date for this marriage or any children from them either. Any additional info would be great :)

Thanks,
