Title: Baxter's of Ruthven, Angus
Post by: John Bax on Saturday 22 December 18 19:27 GMT (UK)
If anyone is researching the Baxter family I would like to hear from them.
I am trying to find any details of my 4x Gr Grandfather, Alexander Baxter, Christened 4/Jun/1727, in Glamis as best that I can find. His wife, children and his parents would confirm. What ever help you can provide would be forever appreciated.

I think this might be a likely marriage for Alexanders parents
BAXTER   JOHN    to ISABEL DONALDSON   28/12/1725   Mains and Strathmartine

I also think this might be where John originates from and Isobel elsewhere in Angus but you would need to check the records.

Thank you Colin, This gives me a lead on some ancestors. I will look further and try to determine who these ancestors lead me to.
Once again, thank you for your help.

Colin, If it's alright with you I may come back to ask a question or 2. I am new to RootsChat and getting around "walls" that I encounter.
