I am related to ANDREW LINTON married to MARY INGLES around 1798 of BROUGTON PEEBLES, SCOTLAND. He was my g.g.g grandfather. He had nine children.
SIMON LINTON - b 1799 West Calder, Edinburghshire [Farmer Oakwood, Selkirksshire]
ROBERT - b 1802 West Calder, Edinburghshire [Farmer Leadclune, Dores, Invernessshire]
JAMES - b 1805 Broughton, Peeblesshire [Farmer Coruanan, Ballachullish, Invernesshire]
AGNES - b 1807, Broughton, Peeblesshire [married Thomas Elder - Farmer, Peeblesshire]
ANDREW - b 1809, Broughton, Peeblesshire [my g.g.grandfather - merchant Birmingsham then Glasgow]
WILLIAM - b 1811, Broughton, Peeblesshire [Merchant - Glasgow]
MARY ANN - b 1813, Broughton, peeblesshire [married George Hood, emigrated to Ontario]
JOHN - b 1815 Langhaugh, Manor, Peeblesshire [Merchant, Liverpool]
MARAGRET - b 1819 Langhaugh, Manor, Peeblesshire [Married Logan, schoolmaster at Auchtertyre, Lochalsh]
Andrew Linton left a detailed will in 1843 bequeathing money [around £200-£300] to each of his nine children - establishing 3 of his sons as sheep farmers in Selkirk, Inverness-shire and Ballachullish and 3 as merchants [Glasgow, Liverpool and Birmingham] and setting up his 3 daughters and son-in laws in farms around the North Highlands and Peebles-shire. His youngest daughter Mary Ann Linton emigrated to Canada in the 1840s with her husband George Hood to farm.
My mother is Margaret LINTON, my grandfather was James RORRISON LINTON, his father Andrew MARSHALL LINTON [all Glasgow, Scotland] and his father ANDREW LINTON born Broughton, Peebles 1809 [Merchant] son of ANDREW LINTON, TACKSMAN OF ACHNAGART, Glenshiel/Kintail Ross and Cromarty born Peeblesshire 1764 died 1843 in Kintail. There are 3 remaining Lintons left in this line and three have sadly passed away. After this generation there will be no more LINTONS.
I have only began searching the line of Robert LINTON but know more about the LINTON farmers of Onich and Ballachullish [between Glencoe and Fort William] - [uncles and cousins of my great grandfather Andrew] who have an interesting history…including contributing remnants of bonnie prince Charlie's kilt to the Highland museum in Fort William and the standard used at battle of Culloden was found in the outbuildings of their farm last century.
I would be interested to hear of any other connections. Sorry but haven't got round to doing all the tree stuff online yet.
