Thank you, here's the next generation. If you want more let me know. For some reason,  William and his two brothers Joseph and David and their mother Margaret changed the spelling of Mairs to Mayrs and came to Winnipeg Manitoba Canada soon after their father John died in 1902.

Yes the William Kennedy Mairs is the one at Dernagross.

You have the same information that I do except for Robert. I can't find anything on him either.

The order of births on the family tree I have goes like this. (no dates)

Martha, Alexander, Margaret, Rev James, Robert, and John. This tree was done by a
young relative and could have a lot of mistakes in it. John and his wife Margaret had a
baby they called Robert Alexander which leads me to believe that there was a Robert. They also had a William.

Sorry I can't be of much help!

Hi, I have a William Kennedy Mairs in my background but I don't know how how he fits in either.
I know that his will says that he left money to Robert Wilson farmer (married to Martha Mairs) and to James S Mairs presbyterian minister.

Martha Mairs and James S Mairs are brother and sister to my great grandfather John Mairs b 1847 d 1902. They are the children of James Mairs b 1798 and Nancy Miller m 30 Sept 1829.

William K. could be another brother as his birth date fits in. The other children from this line are Alexander, Margaret, and Robert. My only other thought is that he was an uncle and the brother of James Mairs b 1798. If this were the case then his parents would have been James Mairs b 1761 and Martha Kennedy. He fits in here somwhere!!!!!
