My list is as follows: John Smith - Staymaker and Auctioner married to Esther Williamson in 1805 Children: James b. 1783 Anne b. 1785 Alexander b. 1787 Margaret b. 1789 Jean b. 1792 John b. 1795 Katharine b. 1797 James who married to Margaret Fraser in Bishopmill in 1805. He became a Master Glover and Corn miller during the first half of the 1800's in Bishopmill. Katharine was married to James Grant in 1823. Perhaps if you can work your way back to this group.
