brigidmac I still think what newuser found is correct. I had a look at the Testament/Will of Patrick Colquhoun and I agree that Mary Colquhoun is Isabella Lamonts mother.

 Her younger son was named after her uncle Patrick Colquhoun.

Looking at the names of the children again I see the last son has a surname McMillan in his name. He is called Robert McMillan Ross

So my thoughts are was James Ross's mother Helen McMillan ?

Hi Newuser,

I have a dna match who has the Lamont/Colquhuon family that is mentioned in relation to a Will that you transcribed (or his Cole family). I believe that I am linked to these lines through my ancestor Jane Irwin nee Erskine who was living in Port Glasgow c. 1826 aged about 22. Are there any Erskines mentioned in the Will of Patrick Colquhuon. or anyone with the first names Olivia, Sussannah or Cecilia?.

Regards, Linda M.
