They are my Great, Great Grandparents. James and Mary's son David (married to Robena Richardson) is the line that I belong to. David and Robena had 2 children Margaret (known as Meg or Peg) born around 1912 and James born 1914. James was my Grandad - my mother's father. My Grandad James married Margaret Milne and had 3 children David Milne Gordon, Catherine (known as Rena) Gordon - my mother and James Gordon. I am hoping to do some family research soon and will let you know if I come up with anything. Sharon

Dear All: Here is the latest chapter from Burkes Peerage. There is becoming more recognition of the role that our Scottish Ancesters had on the USA history and even current events. These Scottish Ancesters had a large impact on the drafting of the constitution and the Bill of Rights etc. Anyway, here is the announcement and the location of the full article. Note that there are two chapters and you need to click on the bottom of the page to get to both chapters. Please feel free to forward to any other list or group that would be interested. Best Regards John A Hansen List Admin FROM BURKES PEERAGE AND GENTRY- AMERICAS SCOTTISH HEROES The second chapter of Burkes feature on Scottish Americans and their role in shaping US society is now online http://www.burkes-scotland.com In The Dollar to the Moon: Striving for Independence, Sarah Powell examines prominent Americans of Scottish descent, to show that people of Scottish ancestry wielded a disproportionate influence on life in America. The article highlights the major contribution of Scots colonialists in the push towards American Independence, pointing out that as many as three quarters of the fifty-six signatories of the Declaration of Independence were Scots born or had some Scottish ancestry. Indeed, Scottish influence continues right up to the present, as it is estimated that well over half of US Presidents to the present day have had some Scottish blood. Powell looks at the contributions of some of these presidents, including George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison and Franklin Roosevelt. She looks also at Scottish military prowess and the numerous important revolutionary leaders of Scottish blood. Powells article shows that in making war as in forging peace and pursuing freedom and prosperity, Scottish Americans have played, and are continuing to play a vital role in American life. Read the full article at www.burkes-scotland.com Coming soon Chapter Three, Characters of Legend, will be published soon, and announced in the free e-mail newsletter, Burkes Peerage and Gentry Today.

I live in Bloomington, Illinois and I am planning on going down to do some research. What was the date of the article about Walter. Maybe I can go to or write the newspaper and get a copy of the article. Looking forward to hearing from you. Mary
Hi Karen, Sorry I can't help you. William and Isobel Wight are as far back as I have gone to date.
