Hello Lois,

My 3rd great grandmother was Annabella Muir born 15 Mar 1783 in Irvine,
Ayrshire, Scotland. She married William Struthers Templeton in Dalrymple,
Ayr. Her parents were David Muir born about 1735 and Elizabeth Allason born
about 1740, both of Irvine. I hope this is a connection.

Sincerely,
Marjorie Fletcher, Salt Lake City, UT
