Argyllshire / Re: John McNicol m Ann Leitch 1854
« on: Saturday 13 June 09 14:42 BST (UK) »
Hello
Costerfield was named after Peniston and Allan Coster and Edwin Field, three of the four initial partner's in the first mine there. However, it was hotly disputed in the district for many years that the original discoverer was John McNicol. Upper Costerfield was named Nicolton in honour of John. I have a copy of a letter that Peniston Coster wrote substantiating this fact. I also have a copy of John and Ann's marriage certificate. I am quite happy to forward these onto you if you do not have them.
How are you connected with the McNicol family?
Regards
Anne

Hello
I am currently compiling a history of Costerfield and have information about the McNichol family. John McNichol was a man of some standing it appears.
