Catriona, I too am interested in the Groat line. What I have so far is: John Groat m Ann T. Robertson 24 Dec 1863 Walls and Flotta. They had the following children all born in Walls and Flotta: Jane Groat b. 29 March, 1864 John Robertson Groat b. 27 January, 1866 Thomasina Robertson Groat b. 24 March, 1870 William Charles Groat b. 22 November, 1874 I have more information on John Robertson's line. Is there some connection to your line? I look forward to hearing from you. Lori Milam Chicago, IL
