ev,

yes my Thomas Lumsdean Lockhart was born Sept. 23, 1832 to Adair and Barbara Blair. I don't have a death for Thomas' brother William or anything about his sister Margaret Miller Lockhart or James Lockhart. Thomas and his brother George both immigrated to Canada so I have their information but not the other siblings. I do have information of Hugh and Jane and a little of the Cairds but not much.

also, thanks Jean.

Alicia
