If anyone is researching the Weir family...I've ran into a list of children working in the coal mines in SE Scotland in ca. 1842. I found 2 Weir children in ELGIN COLLIERY, parish of Dunfermlime, county of Fife. Hope this can help someone. I do not know if this is the same Weir family of Cherokee Co. I DO know some of these families emigrated together - my MacQueens (I'm certain of the connection) that emigrated to Crawford County and Jacks are on this same page. http://wkweb5.cableinet.co.uk/ian.winstanley/esct.htm Robin in Indy Climbing her family tree.. visit http://www.my-ged.com/robin/
