Hi Jeanette Like you I have James (son of Finlay Whyte & Jane Heyman, and married to Mary McDermid, daur of Duncan McGilvray and Flora McLean, Ballygrant) noted as the possible father of John, along with John's sister Catherine who married Donald McIntyre 17 Apr 1834 at Balamoney. The above John's first son was named James ( James lawful son to John White and Anne MacGillvray Wemyss Haven (New Village) was born 6th Nov 1834 and Baptised) presumably named after his father? However I have the 'other' John Whyte 'in Skibba' (Port Charlotte) married to Ann McQuarrie. Was this the same John with a first wife, 4 years earlier?
