Kirkcudbrightshire / Re: McEwin & Stevenson.....

Hi Gadget,
Thanks for looking in to this for me - really appreciated
Yes - Grizel STEVENSON was the sister of the Jean & Margaret I mentioned, and she married Robert Trotter.....so yes, that's the connection.
They also had a brother William, who was a Captain involved in the American War of Independence. I have oodles of info about the Trotters and Grizel, including the MI's you have referred to. I also have a considerable amount of info about the STEVENSON ancestry - so even though I don't know if it was Jean or Margaret that married the McEWIN, I can certainly trace backwards from them.
My real challenge is the McEWIN line - and I'm hoping if I can find the STEVENSON - McEWIN link, I'll be able to go back further with the McEWIN's.
A number of John McEWINs children were born at Balcary in Rerrick, so there is definitely a link there as well.
If you have any other ideas, I'd be very grateful.
Thanks so much again for replying
Cheers,
Terri
