I wrote the following to Shirley Walsh, but the email came back. Here is the message to her and anyone else who might be interested: Hi Shirley, I saw your question regarding Coltranes from 31 Jun 2010. I don’t think that I answered this, but if I did, please disregard. Patrick Coltrane of Culmazie and Airless m. Janet Gray, probably about 1650 in Wigtownshire, Scotland. In 1667 he was called Provost of Kirwaugh & Culmazie and his property was valued at about 307 pounds. He died in 1674 and his grave is in Wigtown. He had 2 sons: William Coltrane (abt 1650 -1708) who m. Agnes Ramsey, who was Provost of Wigtown, had sasine of Drummorall in 1689, his testament from 1709 is available. According to McKerlie, he had 3 daughters: Mary Agnew of Dalragle, Elizabetrh Hunter of Ayr, Margaret Boyd of Wigtown and Patrick Coltrane (1680-1714) who m. Elizabeth Stewart of Physgill in 1702 and had at least 8 children. His second son: Patrick Coltrane (abt 1650-?) m. ?, was in 1672 a merchant burges in Wigtown. I think he had at least 2 children: William Coltrane, merchant of Wigtown, who was asked to handle the debts of his cousin, Patrick in 1718, and Elizabeth Coltrane who may been slandered in 1705 in Wigtown. According to McKerlie, Patrick Coltrane (1680-1714) and Elizabeth Stewart had only 4 children who survived to majority: John Coltrane (1703-1745), m. Christine Heron, died in the Battle of Prestonpans, Henrietta, Patrick who was baptized in 1706 in Glasserton Parish and may have come to America and David Coltrane (1711-aft 1745) who studied law for a while in Edinburgh, came to America, m. Mary Trotter in North Carolina, was a Captain in the Battle of Cartegena, had a son: William Coltrane. This William m. a Quaker Rachel Worthington and most of the Coltranes in the US are part of this family. Let me know if this is what you wanted. I have lots of references if you want these. Good luck, Dorothy Coltrin (DNA has proven that my family is not part of this family…much to my frustration.)
