My G3 Grandmother was Elizabeth Langlands.  She married James Fraser in Oathlaw on July 2, 1789.  That's all I know about her (or, for that matter, about James).  Not sure if there's a connection here to what you're looking for.  Cheers, Peter

I think my part of the Ferrier tree links up with Sarah's.  I am a direct descendant of Jessie Ferrier, through her daughter Margaret Smart who, when she married my great-grandfather, had gone back to calling herself Margaret Ferrier.  Sadly, her twin brother (David Smart) died at about 5 months.  Jessie successfully sued the father, David Smart, for child support.  I have a transcript of the court order I can share. 

I had hit a research roadblock with Jessie, so Sarah, your information adds significantly!  I'd love to get more of the details and/or source materials.  I just joined RootsChat and not sure how information exchange works.  Thanks so much.

Peter
