Looking at the Scottish map, from Glasgow, east: Baillieston, Bargeddie, Coatbridge, and to the south somewhat Dykehead, actually two of them, one closer to Glasgow. It appears that our Dykehead would be the one closer to Baillieston, only a few houses in this time period. Grace Reid 1833-1899 died in Umatilla County, OR. She married John MORRISON in Scotland in 1853. Her mother, Elizabeth Clark, was born in Barony, Scotland 1815, died 1866, married William Reid 1832 Old Monkland Parish, Scotland.
