Hi Vivienne: I have a William Grierson born c1738 possibly in Penpont, Dumfriesshire. He married a Sarah Howat and they had daughter Sarah born 23 July 1758 in Penpont. Not sure if any of these folks look familar but thought I would pass them on just in case. thx.

I do know he was a farmer of Noblehill and later the Grove near Dumfries. He is the earliest Grierson that I know of in my family line. I can not see a connection. > > Cheers! > > Vivienne > Vancouver Island > > ______________________________ >
