Not really. But being brought up and living in the area all my life , the story of Lady Flora is well known locally - there was a school (now sheltered housing for elderly) called Lady Flora's in my home town. I regularly walk in the area of Loudoun estate and the old Kirk.
I knew there was a connection with the Hastings family to the Marquis of Bute - a Google search filled in the blanks

Hello everyone, sorry had to work the weekend and I guess the time change with being here in Ontario been away from the computer for a few days.

I think the one post that include that Wintocks was part or included in the Loudoun Parish is what I was looking for. 

I have been reading the other posts and all is very interesting and I am enjoying the information you are all posting.

thank you all so much

Whatricks could perhaps be similar in meaning to Whatriggs, as in the Kilmarnock version, just up the road a bit,
cheers, Ian

If I were to visit the Loudoun Parrish where would I find the Wintock area of the Parrish? Would love to google map the area and see the actual area my ancestors lived before leaving for Canada in 1831.

thanks

Don't waste your time with Google maps. 

Maddys52 found New Intaks or Newintax on the older maps. See Reply #11 above.

It's about two miles north-west of Newmilns, and a similar distance east-south-east from Moscow.

You can see it on this modern Ordnance Survey map https://www.geograph.org.uk/gridref/NS5039

And for the moment it's on Streetmap https://streetmap.co.uk/map?x=252802&y=637449&z=120&sv=newmilns&st=3&tl=Map+of+Newmilns,+East+Ayrshire+[Town]&searchp=ids&mapp=map - you will probably need to drag the map down and to the right a bit to see New Intax.

I found this map from 1829 just a few years before Andrew Young left for Canada

Also knowing the area in which in lived being Wintocks in prior to 1831 (when he left for Canada) are there land records I can looks through for if he owned or rented. Perhaps a more detail of where within the parish he lived in?
