My great, great grand father Peter Patrick Cromartie was born in 1787. They both had the same father, William Cromartie, the Orkney emigrant and same mother, Ruhamah Doane. James's youngest son Luther(b.1829) married Peter Patrick's youngest daughter Julia Clark(b.1833). Luther and Julia were first cousins. The youngest son of Luther and Julia was Angus(b.1874, d.1934). Angus is my grand father. He died 13 years before I was born. I was at the 2006 Reunion. The featured speaker at the Reunion was Bob Cromartie of Ocala. He is the middle son of John David, Sr. Bob spoke about the Cromartie sept association with the Urquhart Clan. He also spoke about the historic Scottish custom of naming children in a set order according to the names of their forebears. Bob is featured on the clancromarty.net website in the section titled "links to interesting Cromartys and Cromarties around the world". My apologies for not responding sooner.
