Selkirkshire / Re: First Ballantyne from Scotland*completed*
« on: Saturday 05 December 15 00:46 GMT (UK) »
I have a great Grandmother x8 Euffam Ballantyne born abt 1710 whose immediate family are in Dorset, Shaftsbury and Wimbourne Minster I have read two wills and I can not find any origin information at all on her parents, Thomas Ballantyne (in his will recorded as a salesman) and Jone, and her two uncles Robert, and John. Her mother is just listed as Jone. Euffam`s sister Jane did marry a William Little of Wimbourne Minster and his niece Ann Little, married Walter Beaty from a Scottish family in Dumfries.
Euffams siblings were Andrew, John, Helen, Elinor, Jane, James, Martha and Thomas, all of St Peters Shaftsbury. Though Effam married Thomas Scammell in Melbury Abbas he was from Tisbury Wiltshire.
Her uncle John Ballantyne has three children in Wimbourne Minster, Thomas, Andrew and Hellen. Euffams own children are recorded as being connected to presbyterian churches in Warminster later so I am assuming that these Ballantynes at some point came from Scotland?.
I don`t suppose anyone here has any inkling of these people?
The only nearby possible connection locally I have found is a Jane Barclay Ballentyne married to a Reverend David Hogarth a Scottish Man in Portland Dorset. I know she is connected to the Kelso line and the printers John, James and Alexander. How that ties in with my Dorset people I do not know. But the same Christian names do keep occurring. I have traced Jane Barclay Ballantyne back to a John and Jane Barclay in Kelso trying to see if there`s someone I could fit to but too many people with the same names to go any further. Can anyone help at all?
