Birth & baptism 1828 at Beith: KNOX, John Bir 1828 Scot Ayrs Beith Fa: Samuel KNOX Mo: Jean KNOX And yet a Samuel Knox married a much younger Jane/Jean Hamilton in 1839 at Beith and seen 1841 at Bunswynd. JEAN HAMILTON - International Genealogical Index / BI Gender: Female Marriage: 07 DEC 1839 Beith, Ayr, Scotland It would seem she next married Charles McLuskie in 1852 also at Beith. The Jean Knox household in 1851 includes S in L Agnes UM aged 38 who seems to be one of the many children of Robert Knox m. Ann Kerr and likely parents of Samuel (Kerr) Knox. For 1841 this Agnes seems to be in residence with Hugh Knox and wife Jean Patrick. Agnes was given the middle name Wilson as was her older sister Margaret. My Samuel Hunter Knox was seen in a WILSON household for the 1841 Census when his father was likely deceased and his mother was in Glasgow. This was likely John Wilson m. 1834 Beith to Margaret Wilson. Unfortunately I do not have Ancestry membership and do not have a cert trail of these Knox of Beith except for my own direct lineage to Thomas Knox m. Catherine McHaffie. FYI my files do not indicate why I have Samuel KERR Knox as son of Robert Knox m. Ann Kerr. I cannot find that reference at FamilySearch today. A GOOGLE search gives one result for the name from Rootsweb/Ayrshire Archives. Hoping this helps. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
