Hi Kylie B,
I have just had a joined RootsChat and have come across your entry regarding the Leiper family. I am a member of the Leiper family of Strathaven and this interests me dearly. Before my father died some 18 years ago, he was really into his family tree, and some of the things mentioned in your entry are in what he has. A lot of the information he has collected he obtained from he library in East Kilbride regarding births and marriages. The William Leiper of Drumboy Farm is mentioned in it, but I do not know if he was actually related. His great great grandfather was James Leiper of Parkhead of Kype. I don't have a dob for him, but his great grandfather was Robert Leiper (a carrier) born 24/11/1776. He had 2 brothers and 4 sisters. Their mother was a Janet Aiton. I have so many pages on it that it would be impossible to print it all.
Don't know if this will help you with your research.
