Their last child was born in 1827 in Edinburgh. I know they were here in Apr 1851, as that was the year my gg-grandparents were married in NY. They were: James Aitchison, his wife, Jean Douglas Aitchison and their 4 children James born 1821, William born 1823, Robert born 1825 and Jean born 1827. they landed in NY and settled in Dutchess and Ulster Counties, NY. Also making the journey at the same timewere James's brother, George, Andrew and Robert. Thanks for any help. Nancy
