I can help you here. Jean was baptised on 11 April 1792 and was the younger daughter of James Rennie (Dovecotwood, Kilsyth) by his first wife, May Rankin. James Rennie was a younger brother of my great-great-great-grandfather, Alexander Rennie. I have a full tree going back to 1652. I've heard about this suggestion that she was coloured and had Afro type hair, but it doesn't come from the Rennies and she certainly wouldn't have been black. All the other descendants of this couple were white and didn't have frizzy hair. Direct descendants of John and May Rennie are alive and aren't aware of such features. If you want to email me, I can give you further details. Are you related?
