>From a cousin in CA I have been very excited this week, for I have definitely proven the marriage for James "Scotch Jemmie" Dickson to Barbara Brown. My family tradition said they were married in Scotland on 22 December, 1782, by Reverend John Ewart. I wrote to Scotland, to the Ewart library near Dumfries. They told me that a Reverend John Ewart was the minister of the Church of Scotland for the Parish of Troqueer, Kirkudbrightshire. On the Scottish Church Records, I found James Dickson marrying Barbara Brown in this Parish on 12 December 1782. When you combine the right names, minister, dates and other evidence, it is almost 100 percent them !!! This means I can perhaps make a link to family in Scotland ! I looked in the Church Records, and there sure are a lot of Roderick Fraziers born near Inverness. Unless we have some other clue, such as his Regiment, I don't know how we could identify which one is ours.
