I found a marriage entry for John Meikle and Marion Porteous, banns posted 20 April 1739 in Lesmahagow. This was in the Scottish Church Records at the FHC. A parent search produced the following children: John 15 Jan 1741 born Lesma. William 16 Dec 1742 born Lesma Janet 19 July 1747 born Lesma James 20 Apr 1749 born Lesma Does anyone know anything about this particular MEIKLE family? I am hoping the James born in 1749 is the one who married Janet TAYLOR in 1777. Don and Mary in Wyoming
