Hi Jack,
Sorry for tardy reply, I was away traveling. So as you have gathered Jen and I have GG(+?) grandparents who were siblings. Like Jen, I have been trying to verify who their father, James Paterson's parents were, nothing definitive yet. I too have Andersons from Dundee, paternal GG grandfather David Anderson b 1833, parents Thomas Anderson and Isabella Raitt, siblings Thomas, Smith and Victoria. David married Jessie Laird and immigrated to the US in late 1860s. Their daughter Jessie married John Paterson Baxter, son of Robert Baxter and Helen Paterson. Robert's father, George Baxter b 1797 parents were George Baxter and Mary Thomson, from Markinch Fife. They were married in 1795. There is also a Barbara Thomson married to James Baxter 1770, a Robert Thomson married Agnes Baxter 1737, Anne Thomson to Alexander Baxter 1761, all Markinch All records listed on Scotlands People. Haven't had a chance to research yet. I too have Davidsons on my maternal side, but from Dungannon, County Tyrone, Ireland, originally from Scotland but no idea where or when.
Best,
Ellen
