I am amazed that you have all this information at your fingertips. Thank you soo much. You have given me plenty to be going on with. I have downloaded John's Will and Testament. I wonder if his wife's name is mentioned in the sasines, so I guess it's a trip to Edinburgh. Gray865

Dunbartonshire / John Gray of Birdston

John Gray of Birdston, Kirkintilloch, died there in 1820. Story goes he made his money in New York and came back and bought Birdston. Who was he? He married Agnes ? She died 1819, who was she?
Any information would be helpful. TIA Gray865

I'm looking for information on the ship 'The Beverly of Glasgow' which ran between America and presumably Glasgow in the 1700s.

Thank you. It does beg the question why call a grandchild 'oy'!?

I'm reading Testaments and have come across the words of his or her 'oy' or 'oyes' what do they mean?

Oh how I wish I had your expertise MonicaL. You appear to have information at your fingertips.
This information sounds very very promising. I'll look for May Stewart on the Stuarts of Torrance family tree  and research Adam Stuart through details in his will and testimony. Thank you Carole W,
Neale 1961 and MonicaL.  Gray 865

Carole, I have no connection to Adam Stuart. I'm researching East Kilbride Old Parish Churchyard.
info. on writer 1793, from a book of the History of East Kilbride parish and village. It was in relation to the Kirk and the monies for the Poor of the parish to be made out and delivered to Alexander Stuart of Torrance or his brother Andrew Stuart the papers were written and stamped by Chas. Menzies clerk of Adam Stuart, Writer in Edinburgh 10th April 1793. I have viewed and studied the Stuart of Torrance family tree and there is no Adam Stuart in their long line.
Neale 1961, I should have thought of this, I've now viewed this, it has numerous pages but I don't see any connection to East Kilbride.  Gray865
