Ron, I am sure the website you found was a real help to Robert. It has also been a help to me, for which I thank you very much. One of the very nice and helpful ladies on this Dumfries-Galloway site answered my request for help with a William Ballentine (probably spelled Ballantyne in Scotland) who came from Dumfries to America as a young man or teenager. This William lived with his grandfather in Dumfries for a while after his mother died. Mom was a Stoddard or Stoddart or Stodhart before marriage. The nice lady found a William Ballantyne living in the household of his grandfather, James or William Ballantyne on one Sanquhar census. She and I both think this is the right William Ballentine (Ballantyne), and now that I have read the list of people from the St Brides Parish Church, Sanquhar, I see there are at least two Ballantynes listed and at least two Stoddarts or Stodharts, so hopefully I am on yhe right track. #38 lists a James Stoddart then says "formerly in Castle." What does that mean, do you know?. Also, is there anyway to find out if rhe Rev. Thomas Ballantyne (#192) had issue? Is there a family history place in Dumfries that one can write to for information. Thank you again for finding the website and listing the link.

Hi Joann The term 'Formerly in Castle' means he was previously a tenant farmer in the farm called 'Castle'. Quite possibly he was a retired farmer.
