Incidently, both e-mail addresses following my signature are forwarders to my current ISP address. I have found that when the 'iname' people do software updates they often shut the site down for a day or more and that creates a lot of returned mail for my friends. So, I found another address that does the same thing at Yahoo. Thank you. - Bruce & Barb Swinden

Subject: Isobel Wemyas, and John Moubray

I am in the midst of zeroing in on the missing link in my lineage back to Scotland.

In a book (title unknown), there is a section that speaks about the Moubray family of

Cockairny in the parish of Dalgety, by Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland.

In particular, the man I believe to be my link, is John Moubray, who married a second wife named Isobel Wemyas of Aberdour on May 13, 1659.

William David Mowbray From: Wilnajo@aol.com

Date: Thu, 18 Oct 2001 10:29:35 EDT

Subject: Moubray's of Cockairny.

I thought that a leg up may help you understand where my mind is at about my research, so I am sending a page from the book I mentioned in my last email.

The bottom line for me, is what happened to John Moubray Jr, born 1642 to John Moubray, and his first wife Elizabeth Logan.

Note: Isobel Wemyas would be his second wife, as indicated on the book's page.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello folks,

Due to the excess amount of spam and unsavoury mail which I have been receiving, and the wasted time that it involves in deleting same, I have found it necessary to change my e-mail address.

I hope that this doesn't inconvenience or offend you, but somehow my e-mail address has been passed on to a worldwide circuit for spam who send out dozens of junk mails per week (probably unknowingly to the person who has revealed it). It would be appreciated if you could keep any future mail addressed to me personally at my new address, and also exclude me from any future e-mails which are either hyperlinked or are "Cc:s".

My address as from 1 November 2001 will be 'jracarlisle' (all one word) followed by @supanet.com (the old jra.carlisle@lineone.net will no longer exist).

Hopefully this action should cut out all further offensive and intrusive e-mails.

Thanks,

J. R. Allison URGENT

Subject: ELIZABETH WEMYSS

 

Hi Hugh!

I think we may have been in contact some time ago, but I am still searching

for proof of my GGGG grandmother's birth. She was Jean/Jane CRAWFURD 1734-1827,

and, according to the notes of my Great grandfather, was the daughter of

Elizabeth WEMYSS and Alexander CRAWFORD of Crawford Priory near Cupar. Alexander

apparently returned unscathed from the Battle of Culloden to find the Duke of

Cumberland walking in his garden. The family dog gave away his hiding place in

the greenhouse and he was forced to flee the country. His wife died two years

later of a broken heart. The children were raised by her brother of Wemyss

Castle or Hall. (I can send you a copy of the family story if you are

interested.)

I have a copy of an original OPR Extract "Majory daughter lawful to Mr.

Alexander CRAFOORD in Westernewton and Mrs. --- WEEMYSS his spouse was baptised

in Westernewtonmill 30 January 1734, Parish of Kennoway, FIFE." Other children

were Helen CRAFOORD 1731-/ who married Robert DRYSDALE in 1755 in Kircaldy; John

CRAFOORD 1733; and Janet CRAFOORD.

I have an OPR Extract of the register of Banns and Marriage from the 17th

October 1669 (very difficult to read ... I could scan it for you to see if you

could make out more details): "16 Nov Contracted James WEYMESS of ------- wife

Margaret MELVILLE ---- -----".

I have another OPR Extract "On --- day James WEEMS and Margaret MELVIN had a

daughter baptised called Bethia. My Lord Elcho and Baillie William Johnston

witnesses" 22 May 1692.

I have the memorial inscription of Jane CRAWFORD and her husband John

JOHNSTON who are both buried in the Old Kirkconnel Churchyard in

Kirkpatrick-Fleming Dumfries, where Jean was sent to be a companion to Lady

Maxwell. I have read somewher that Lord Maxwell, a sympathizer to the Cause of

Prince Charlie, was a friend of Alexander CRAWFORD, though I cannot quote the

source of this info. Kirkconnel MI: "John JOHNSTONE who died Gaircroft 3rd Feb

1826 aged 92, Jane CRAWFORD, his spouse, who died Eaglesfield 16th Dec 1827 aged

94, Janet their daughter who died Gaircroft 5th May 1826 aged 67, John JOHNSTON

their son, who died Manchester 21st Nov 1853 aged 74, Margaret Cunningham, his

spouse who died Carlisle 26th May 1827, John their son, who died young".

Do you have any other data that might back up this info? I would be

interested in any info you may have. Cheers from Linda
