Hi Jennifer, we are indeed researching the same family. I have a fair bit of information which I will pass on to you but will have to look out my notes. I have attached some info I got from someone else who, as it turned out, was researching the wrong family. I also have a photo of James and Jeans 3 sons George, Francis and William and also of George's extended family (this is the line I'm interested in) Not sure how to get a copy to you as the site advises not giving out email addresses.
Anyhoo here is some info for you. I myself have followed down from George Patterson marked ***** James and Jeans son and will look out my notes on them if you want them? Let me know.
