Are you sure the whole family didn't go to Canada? Did William marry before he went? 

William Lindsay and Ann Campbell were married in 1800 and had about 8 children in the Cambusnethan area and then emigrated to Canada.  But I'm not sure what happened to the rest of John Lindsay and Jean Robertson's offspring. 

Looks like Sage has some other input--let me check it out--it looks VERY promising.  The children of John Lindsay and Jean Robertson are generally correct, however they are missing Jean Lindsay, b. 1770.

Thanks Lodger & Sage!!!  Looks like you're both right, and I can link some of this family together!

Thanks Lodger!  But funny how a little information makes everything so much more confusing!

So I am very sure that this stone of John Lindsay and ?Jean Robertson is the one that I am looking for.  As far as the John Lindsay == father and son........well, the elder did have a son named John, but not until 1782--which doesn't quite add up for the dates on the next stone.  And they may very well be related somehow.

John's son William Lindsay emigrated to Canada in 1821, but I don't know what happened to all the the other children:

Jean Lindsay  b. 1770
William Lindsay  b. 1773----emigrated to Canada
James Lindsay  b. 1776
Francis Lindsay  b. 1778
Alicia Lindsay   b. 1780
John Lindsay  b. 1782

Sorry, but I can't make any link to the Sheridan's at this time.

I went to the Cambusnethan Cemetery a few years ago in search of my ancestor's stones but I couldn't find them:

John Lindsay d. about 1826 and Jean Robertson.

I know Lodger may have some information on these--perhaps in the old ruins and fenced off area?  I would also like Cayley to contact me as we share some Lindsay ancestors.

Thx, Granny G
