csc,

From your last posts, the following are in my Dickson lines, Richard and Elspet Dickson being my 4G Grandparents:

"margaret daughter to richard dickson and elizabeth dickson in mouswald town looks like dec 21st baptized 26th 1773"
  
"john son to richard dickson and elspeth dickso in mouswald town born july31st baptized aug4th 1776."

No more info has been found on Margaret, she is the first recorded child and John was a Blacksmith in the Mouswald village and died in 1856.  He married Isabella Gibson and they had one son, Robert born in 1800 who married Janet Irving about 1823 (no record found). Janet was the dau. of Thomas Irving and Janet Rogerson.

I have not been able to go beyond Richard and Elspeth as we have not found descendants in Scotland or any that have done any research on them.  There is no record of Richard & Elspeths burial anywhere. Our link with Mouswald died with my grandfather in 1935. So I've been pushing the proverbial up hill since I started 4 years ago from scratch.

I have most if not all the Dicksons you mention in research spreadsheet as I try to piece them together.

Charlote and Jean are mine as well.  Richard and Elspeth had at least 7 recorded kids plus possibly the James we have mentioned before. Thomas Dickson b 1790 was my 3G Grandfather, the last child I have recorded.

i know there are 2 richard dicksons with children in mouswald richard dickson and jean latimer betty born 07 07 1806 and jacob 23 10 1808 which tells me they are probably related to the rev i will look at what i have on marriages csc

Hi Stoop,

No I don't think that Richard is not the son of Rev. Jacob.  His Richard went to the US and died in Indiana in 1835, He was Richard Lothian Dickson born 14 May 1767 in Mouswald.

However I haven't parents for the Richard you mentioned yet though so it may come to pass that it is the same one.

Csc,

I have found on the RootsWeb World Connect Project that Richard L. Dickson married a Rachel Lowry in 1825 in the US, he would have been 57 or so, therefore he could bethe same one that was married to Jean Latimer, and moved the family to the US where Jean dies or even after she died in Scotland  and he remarries and has another family.  All supposition of course.
