    3. well, it goes without saying that Margaret didn't have any direct descendants. (This is a joke on me as I spent a while looking for those descendants - Margaret was after all only 18 and was not accused of the sin of having born a 'natural' child) I would LOVE to hear from anybody else with information on this family. Margaret's parents were Gilbert Wilson and Jonet McILWAIN (as far as I know) I don't have any further information on her sister Agnes who was arrested with her. Her sister Jean married Alexander MURRAY and I have only found one child for them - Margaret. I have nothing further there Her brother Thomas and Margaret RAMSAY had several children. Thomas - 1699 Margaret - 1702-1776 Marion - 1703 Agnes - 1705 William - 1707 Robert - 1709 David - 1710 Jonet - 1711 Alexander - 1714 Gilbert - 1716 John - 1718 Patrick - 1720 Lots of potential descendants there! Having said that in the WIGTOWNSHIRE WILLS 1904 Index: "Wilson, Patrick, third lawful son to the decesed Thomas W., in Glenvernoch 1741" Indicates all but three of the boys were dead by 1741. Newton Stewart Parish Register has a listing for possibly a grandson John - "May 11, 1797 - John Wilson in Glenvernock & Margt. Gordon had a Daughter Baptized named Marion" I do have some info for Thomas' daughter Margaret who married John McADAM - they had 4 children (here again, that I know of) Margret - 1733 John - 1737 William - 1738-1804 John - 1740 I know of some descendants in Australia, Canada and in the USA but these were located in and about Minnesota and without the WILSON name. :-) Amy ----- Original Message ----- From: <Huguenaute@aol.com> To: <Sct-Wigtownshire@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, June 10, 2007 7:55 AM Subject: Re: [WIG LIST] Margaret Willson list of Martyrs > Does anyone have a list of descendants for the Margaret Willson who died for > her faith?
