Peggy I have extensive information on the Argyle patent and much on the Reids. My 6th GG father came with Captain Campbel in 1738 (Duncan Taylor)and I believe our families married in Argyle, NY at some point or other. I am on a business trip but will look into what I can find for you. In the mean time a quicker way for you to do some checking is to check out my family web site. I will send you an invitation to the site and you can have a look around. When you get on the site look under the tree tab and also under the discussion tabs where you will find lots of info on Argyle and where all came from in Scotland and other history. My email is [email protected] or you can reply on the family site by clicking my profile. Good luck and I think you may have hit on something here.
