Hi Jason
I met your sister Karen some years ago in Taupo (where I was born).  I never met your Dad.  We were over from Aust. last Aug/Sept to visit friends & relatives & do a bit of research.  My parents were Alex & Ivy Tierney (daughter of John Nicolson Watson). I have found:

Andrew Watson b. 1806 Perth
James Watson b. Perth 1783, m. Margaret Young, Perth,1802
Alexander Watson b. c1750 & Margaret Gellatly, parents of James & 3 other children all born Perth 1776-1783.

I am wondering why you think Andrew was born in Kinclaven & not Perth.  Also Julia named her son James & Andrew Peebles 3rd son was Alexander which follows naming patterns of those days.  (There is no Thomas in the family).

I tried to be very thorougher, but I'll re-check all my names & dates.

Your dates sound interesting, the name James kept on popping up a lot.

My Email is: jwatson at kol dot co dot nz, if you email me I'll send you a copy of that baptismal record.

Have you read about what happened at Kinclaven castle by William Wallace?
