Roxburghshire / James Oliver born 26 December 1701 in Jedburgh
« on: Monday 24 April 23 08:43 BST (UK) »
I am looking for information on James Oliver born 26 December 1701 and baptised on 26 December 1701 in Jedburgh, So far I have him married to a jean Davidson, marriage date 10 November 1724 in Jedburgh.
The couple had a number of children. I am particularly intersted in their son Robert Oliver born 16 April 1727 and baptised 23 April 1727 in Jedburgh. This Robert may be my 5th great grandfather. If this is the case he migrated to England and died in Hartington, Derbyshire in 1804.
The family story is that Robert was part of the Jacobite army of Prince Charles Edward Stuart which marched to Derby in 1745 and realising there was insufficient support returned to Scotland (ending in the battle of Culloden). The family story goes, Robert left the army in Derbyshire and settled in Hartington where he married and had several children.
I have information on the Derbyshire side of the family but would appreciate it if anyone has information on the Oliver family of Jedburgh.
Any information appreciated.
