Kerryn,

Greetings from "Dixie," USA.

I'd be very interested in any TAIT family genealogy that you may have.
My paternal and surname ancestor is JOHN WYSE/WISE (1721-1780), who
married circa 1740 MARGARET TAIT (b. May 1727) at Maryculter Parish
Church, in Maryculter, old Kincardineshire, Scotland. This MARGARET TAIT
(b. May 1727) was a daughter of WILLIAM TAIT (b.1703) and his wife
MARGARET COLLEY, of Maryculter, old Kincardineshire, Scotland, i.e.,
just across the nearby county line of old Aberdeenshire. Moreover,
MARGARET's paternal grandparents are JOHN TAIT and ELIZABETH EDWARDS,
also of Maryculter, old Kincardineshire.

John F. Wise
Montgomery, Alabama USA
[born in New York and descend from the State of South Carolina and
Georgia (USA) WISEs.]

SCOTTISH BLOODLINES: WYSE/WISE, LOW, TAIT, COLLEY, and EDWARDS.
