Jane Sinclair Gadd was my gr aunt. Her sister Eliza Sinclair Pay was my Grandmother. I loved all those sweet gentle sisters - Eliza, Jane, Tine, and Annie.
I came across your site by accident and noticed mention of James Duddingston whose name I saw earlier today while studying maps of Earlsferry in Fife, Scotland. Nearby is St Ford and the map by Ainslie dated 1775 shows a Jas Duddingston as proprietor of St Ford. If in you family records you have any mention of a nearby house called Grange I would be interested to know. I can send you a picture of the map or you can find it on the National Library of Scotland's website. It is a map of Fife dated as I say, 1775 by Ainslie.
Louise,
Just noticed that my father's name is misspelled in several places, including
the will. Levar (not LaVar) Rasmussen is Andrew and Annie's son. Annie is Nathaniel's daughter. Also wonder if the will giving Spens a larger amount of money was in error, and the larger amount was given to Andrew, with the Spens, Reta, and Levar getting the same amount? Keep in touch.
I beleive the Elizabeth Pimperton in your tree may well be
the daughter of William Pimperton and Elenora
Chambers - born in Dumbarton on 24th April, 1794. She
was the grandaughter of my ggggg grandfather - Thomas
Pimperton - a glassmaker.

While I was cleaning out an old storage unit I came
across an old oil painting. Its a dipiction of an old english
city street signed N. Spence. It lead me here. Any interest?
My Great-grandmother, Mary Ann Burnhope Wallace, was the sister-in-law of Nathaniel Spens. I've visited this site before, a long time ago, but came back to see it again and order some prints. Copngratulations on a very nicely developed site!
