    3. Hello, Charles, Bill and list, Betty KENNY in Australia provided me with your names after she and I discovered we have a common link to this family. My connection is Helen MARTIN, b 11 Feb 1821, who married Archibald HALL on 9 June 1844 in Kingarth. Their dtr, Jane CRAWFORD HALL became my great-uncle's M-in-law when her dtr, Helen MARTIN MCNAIR, married David BAIRD LINDSAY, my ggm's brother. Jane CRAWFORD HALL's spouse was John McNAIR, born in Rye, County Donegal, Ireland s/o Alexander McNAIR and Nancy STEVENSON. John and Jane apparently met and were married in Victoria, Australia, to which place Jane's brother had already emigrated. His name was John CRAWFORD MARTIN, and he is Betty's grandfather. True, it is only a collateral relationship, but Helen McNAIR had a cousin, Jane HALL CRAWFORD, d/o Mark MARSHALL CRAWFORD & Jean HALL, who married Duncan McCUNN. Duncan and Jane's dtr, Catherine WILSON McCUNN married Helen and David's son, John McNAIR LINDSAY. By the most marvelous serendipity and very hard work, I have located John's two sons, Ian and David LINDSAY. They are my cousins because they are LINDSAYS, but they are also cousins to any one who shares the above mentioned folk. Ian is in Scotland and David emigrated to Tasmania. Are either of you, or anyone on the list, interested in this particular MARTIN/CRAWFORD family? Lynn in Baltimore, MD, USA [email protected]
