Hello Forfarian
I’m new to RootsChat but I’ve been researching the Scotts, Ritchies, Gibbs and Warnocks, amongst others for about 7 years. I’m sure you know that we’re all swimming around in a rather shallow pool when it comes to family info older than 1840.
Very briefly my line is -
Around 1725 William Warnock and Margaret Alexander married. They had a son James (b 1726) who married Mary Ritchie. James and Mary had a son William Warnock (b 1757) who married Ann Smith (b 1764). Their daughter Ann Warnock (1796-1873) married Robert Steven (1792-1876) and they produced Agnes Steven (1820-1910) who married Alexander Scott (1817-1891). Are you paying attention!?
Anyway many of those generations seem to have farmed in the Hamilton and East Kilbride area.
Back to Alexander and Agnes - their daughter Ann Warnock Scott (1851-1897) is my great grandmother. She married John Ritchie (1844-1926) and my maternal grandfather is Peter Grant Scott Ritchie (1881-1962).
I could go on but I’ll let you decide how much may be of interest to you.
Please drop me a line if you’d like to know more.
