Perthshire / Re: Seaton's in Blair Atholl Perthshire 1800 and beyond
« on: Sunday 24 February 19 14:28 GMT (UK)  »
Hello Fiona,
I am possibly related to your Comrie Seatons. My relatives may be Donald Seaton and Isabel Robertson from Comrie. Donald and Isabel had Jannet in 1699, John, 1701, and Christian in 1704. Isobel dies, and Donald remarries, to Elizabeth Clasar. They have James, in 1708. I believe that John (b. 1701) is my relative who later moved to Blair Atholl, and may have married Isabel McNab, and had Duncan, my 4th great grandfather, in 1727, in Moulin.
Duncan Seatton married Margaret Robertson, and they had Duncan (b. 1760) and Elspeth (she marries David Stewart in Levadge).
Do you have any more information on the Seatons in Comrie?
Thank you.
Ann Seaton

Yes. Elizabeth Denny is my grandmother. She was born in Paisley. She and my grandfather, Robert Wylie Seaton, had 3 children - Donald (who died very young), Susan, and my father, John Wylie Seaton.

Hi Nicola,
Yes, Donald Wylie Seaton is my grandfather, Robert Wylie Seaton's. brother. Your (and mine!) common relation is Cecil Setton, mother of Margaret Setton, and mother-in-law of my Great Great Grandfather, Alexander Setton (Seaton). I will see if I can upload the DNA results to these other sites to get more information. This is exciting!

Thank you for responding.

Regards,
Ann

Very interested to see this thread. I have only recently started trying to look into my Setton (Seaton) line from Blair Atholl and came across the borenich site which is certainly helpful and which I will explore further. It appears I should take Setton/Seton/Seaton as being interchangeable? My 4xGt Grandmother was Cecil/Cicel Setton of Pitdorny, Dull who married Donald Moon of Wester Balrobie, Blair Atholl in 1797. I am trying to figure out the parents on both sides, a possible sister Mary Setton (also listed at Pitdorny) married George Stewart in 1797. The Moon name seems quite common in the area too, I am trying to sort out the different households in my head and it is hurting!  Cicel Setton and Donald Moon's daughter Christian Moon married a Logie in Little Dunkeld and moved down river to Errol in the 1850s where many of their descendants still live. A sister Margaret Moon married an Alexander Seaton at Moulin and I have matched with a descendant of theirs on Ancestry DNA. Looks like she died young and he remarried.
Any suggestions welcome.
Many thanks
Nicola

Hello Nicola,
Margaret Moon and Alexander Setton (later Seaton) were my great great grandparents. My great grandfather, Donald, was her only son. born at Lyconlach (many names for this place!) in 1820. He was married to Elizabeth Louisa Robertson, and had many children. She died in Edinburgh. He then marries my great grandmother, Jessie Wylie, and lived at the White Hart Inn in Edinburgh, where their two sons, Donald and Robert (my grandfather) were born. They later moved to Easter Rhynd on the Tay River estuary. Both sons eventually immigrated to America. My family came through Canada, then settled in Michigan, in Flint. Donald's family is still in Michigan, I believe.
Interesting, though - Alexander Seaton, and his second wife, Catherine McLaughlin, moved to Logeriat, near the other Robert Seaton at Tynrich Cottage. I have been trying for a long time to figure out their relationship.
My brother's DNA on the FamilySearch.org site does not yet show Seatons, so I am really interested to know if your results match his. I would love to hear from you.

Ann
