Rodrick Mathieson
I am looking for any info on the family and vitals of Rodrick Mathieson, b. 1786 (this is an estimate) in Inverness (?).He wed Mary GordonAug 2, 1806.Rodrick died in Oct 1840, Paisley.There children were James, Barbara, Mary, Margaret, John, and William.I am trying to trace Rodrickand his wife Mary further back than the info that I now have.
The marriage date of 1806 causes me to surmise that Rodrick is at least 16 years.Scottish Law permits marriage at 16, but only with parents permission.Assuming that he was closer to the age of 20 when married this would give his date of birth as 1786 but he could have been quite older.
It has been some time since I posted anything here but would like to thank Ken Mathieson and Marleen Van Horne for their gracious and informative help in the past.Sincerely David F. Mathieson
