Hi everyone
I am trying to locate the family of James Scott b 1 Oct 1746 and baptised 6 Oct 1745 at Westmuirdean. James was the son of William Scott and Barbara Makdougal.
Siblings include:
Walter b 1745
Robert b 1748
Mary b 1750
George b 1752
William b 1754
Barbara b 1761
James is the first cousin, once removed of Sir Walter Scott He served in the navy during the Seven Years War and then later went to the East Indies as a "country trader". He lived on the island of Phuket (Junk Ceylon) and Penang (Prince of Wales Island). One son William became harbour master and postmaster in Singapore, while another son Robert settled in Java.
I am interested in James Scott for historical research and would like to find out more about the other members of his family

Any assistance greatly appreciated
