Married around 1798. JHR died at the age of 64 on 22 Oct 1831 in the Parish of St George, Barbados, West Indies. There were nine children. From this point on I have all the info leading to my mother whose maiden name was RUSSELL. > > I have recently received a chart which shows a MARGARET CALLANDER as being married to SUTHERLAND SINCLAIR. MARGARET CALLANDER is the daughter of THOMAS CALLANDER & MARY RUSSELL, who was the daughter of JAMES RUSSELL & MARGARET RUSSELL. The chart was originally in the possession of a member of our family (Russell side), but no one seems to have a clue as to the connection between the RUSSELLs mentioned on the chart and our original JOHN HUNT RUSSELL. > > The chart is written in a long hand, at times difficult to read, but it appears that the original SINCLAIR (died 1776) was the younger brother of 11th Earl of, what looks like, Caithress. JAMES RUSSELL has a notation which appears to be "of Black braes McFalkirk". > > If there is anyone out there that is interested in any of the info that I have on these family names, e-mail me and I will be more than happy to share it with them. If along the way we can make a connection that would be a bonus! > > Thanks, > David Bladen >
