WHYTE; Blackford, PER,SCT; 1700-1738 Interested if anyone else is tracing this family. So far I have confirmation of the birth of my ancestor, David Whyte in 1744. David married Isabel Mailer in 1772. The parish records that I have viewed at the FHC and in SLC seem to only begin in 1738, and David's parents, Robert Whyte and Jean Hepburn marriage and birth dates were before then. Their first child that appears in the OPR is James, b. 1740. Other Children are Mary b. 1742, David b. 1744, Isobel b. 1746, Peter and Robert b. 1749, Elizabeth b. 1753. Robert and his Whyte decendants were millers up until 1891 that I know of. The family home was at the Mill of Dochally in or near Blackford. If anyone is familiar with the area, can they tell me something about it? Is the Mill or it's remnants still there? If not is there a record of where it was actually located? Are there other records that might help me get further back than 1738? Is there a churchyard that might have headstones of these people that are readable? Do not email me as I am in the process of changing providers, but please post any reply to this newsgroup so that I can get it when I am hooked up again.
