• Notes

  Email from Kathryn Bax, 1st Dec 2004: I know that there are MANY resources stating what you have, including van AS, but they need to be amended.I am sending you my research for verification. 1) David McMASTER was born in 1785 in the Parish of Terregles, Kirkudbrightshire and NOT in Dumfries. Son of John McMASTER. Terregles OPRs: 1785 Nov 9th Was baptised David McMaster lawful son to John McMaster at Newton in the parish of Terregles by Mr Kennedy Min'r 2) David Snr.'s wife was NOT Frances Isabella MILLER but Frances NICOL(S) , daughter of Joseph NICOL(S) + I think the MILLER confusion is that I think John McMASTER Snr., David's father, married a Janet MILLER. Therefore it was David's mother's name, but I cannot prove that yet). 3) ALL the children were the children of David McMASTER and Frances NICOL(S) as he only married Amelia SANDFORD in 1825. The last child, Susan was born c1823.
