We are looking for family connections concerning James McGlashan, chairmaster in Edinburgh, in the 1740s onwards. We have documented proof that he originated from Invervack in Blair Atholl parish, the son of James McGlashan (MacGlashan / Mackglashan etc)
His first wife was Agnes Williamson, daughter of William Williamson, upholsterer in South Leith.
Second wife was Elizabeth Wat or Watt, daughter to William Wat, turner in Dalkeith, later in the Canongate parish.
There are several children from each marriage, some with uncommon forenames such as Dick and Moore (male). Some of the baptisms are not obvious on ScotlandsPeople as the Edinburgh OPR has incorrect forename for James McGlashan.
There also is a John McGlashan, merchant in Edinburgh, who seems to have been a relative.
