James Machan b. 27/10/1695 in Eaglesham, Renfrew, Scotland
I came across the birth record for James Machan on ScotsPeople. Our branch had always known the birthdate to be 1696 but the record is definitely 1695. The father is listed as - James Machan.
According to the records there is only two likely candidates for a father named James using available records ( I admit that there may be other records I do not have).
The oldest is James Machan b. 1651 parents are WILLIAM MACHAN and MARY CHALMERS in the parish of St Ninians in STIRLING. He would have been 44
The best fit is James Machan b. 1668 whose father was ALEXR. MACHAN of Monifieth, ANGUS. He would have been 27
