John Paterson
17?? - 17??
John Paterson was Calum's Jamie's and Pippa's seven times great
grandfather.
John Paterson married Margaret Campbell prior to 1719, and had a family of at least four
children in Leitchtown (Litchtown, Leechtown) in the Port of Menteith in Perthshire.
CHILDREN of JOHN PATERSON and MARGARET CAMPBELL:
Janet Paterson
b: abt 20/9/1719
Janet was baptised in Leitchtown on 20 SEP 1719, noted as the lawfull daughter of John Paterson and
Margt Campbell (SP/NRS OPR B 399/00 0010 Fr 53 Port of Menteith).
Margaret Patersone
b: abt 8/4/1722
Margaret was baptised in Leitchtown on 8 APR 1722, the lawfull daughter of John Patersone and
Margaret Campbel (SP/NRS OPR B 399/00 0010 Fr 101 Port of Menteith).
Mary Patersone
b: abt 6/7/1729
Mary appears to have been another child to the couple, baptised on 6 JUL 1729 in Litchtown, Port of
Menteith, although her mother is recorded as the lawfull daughter of John Patersone and Catherine Campbell,
rather than Margaret Campbell.
However, the fact that she was John Patersone's lawful daughter (a legitimate child), the fact that
there is no other record of a Catherine Campbell having children with John Patersone, and the fact that John and Margaret
had at least one more daughter after Mary, would suggest that this is a simple recording error for her mother's name (SP/NRS
B OPR 388/10 Fr. 126 Port of Menteith).
James Paterson

James was Calum's Jamie's and Pippa's six times great grandfather - see

James married Janet Graham in the Port of Mentieth, Perthshire, on 9 JAN
1761, the banns having been called from the previous December. The following is the wording of the parish register entry
(Source: SP/NRS OPR M 388/00 0010 Fr 325 Port of Menteith):
Decr 18
James Paterson & Janet Graham parishioners - married Janry 9th
The couple settled immediately in an area called Loaning of Cardross, within Port of Menteith,
where they were subsequently recorded as residing in NOV 1761 for the baptism of their first child (name unknown). They were
again recorded here in DEC 1763 for the baptism of their son John, and in NOV 1765 for their son James.
From SEP 1768 they are found residing in Grahamstown for the baptism of their daughter
Margaret, again in JAN 1772 for their daughter Agnes, and once again in FEB 1774 for daughter
Janet.
From the baptism of their son Walter in DEC 1776 we learn that they had once
again moved to a place within the parish of Port of Menteith called Tomachar, where they are again found in MAR 1780 for the
baptism of their second daughter to be christened as Margaret.
It is not known what became of the couple after this.

Jean married Joseph Woodroffe, a soldier in the 26th Regiment of Foot, on 20 NOV 1803 in Stirling, and she settled back in
the Port of Monteith, with Joseph away in Ireland on duty for a great part of the time. The OPR extract for the wedding
reads:
Nov 20: Joseph Woodroff soldier 26th Regt Capt. Horne's
Co. & Jean Paterson in this parish.
It is not known if this was the proclamation date or
the actual wedding date itself.
In December 1806, Joseph died whilst en route with his regiment from his
post in Ireland to Europe, leaving Janet a widow. At some point after this she moved to Edinburgh, where in 1831
she is listed as living with her daughter Joan.
