Elspet Adams and John Simpson

Where did you find out about Alexander Leslie and Jean Forsyth? The Monaro Pioneers website does not go back that far unfortunately, but does state that my Great-great-grandmother Elspeth Brownlie (nee Leslie) was born in Aberdeen in 1852 (16/5/1852)

As I said, speculation. Alexander and Jean had four recorded children, all born in New Spynie, in 1764, 1770, 1772 and 1775. There is a gap between 1764 and 1770 long enough for two more children, and William's death at age 73 in 1845 would fit him neatly into the gap. However I would need more evidence to be certain.
