It appears that our Hayman/Hyndman family came about 1849 but were living in Argylshire and not Ayshire. I had thought that all the Cumberland and Colchester Haymans were related having been descendants of William who came in the 1800's from the US. It would be interesting to find out whether her family are indeed related to them as he also came from Campbeltwon area which makes me wonder if we are related way back anyway. If they had only used one name it would not be so confusing. It appears that my family only used Hayman once in Scotland but totally changed to Hayman in Canada. You need to correspond with the Haymans from Colchester oor/and Cumberland counties. Are you on a genealogy site for those counties? Charlotte
