Thanks a million, Alex, for the information.
Do you have any more info. on this Dr, Andrew Heron? Do you have info. on this middle given name, as over the years several Heron relatives have been given the same first names.
On a visit to Galloway, I actually heard of aDr. Andrew Heron, who lived in Jamaica, for over 37 years.He obviously had no contact with his family as they thought he was dead.However, when Dr. Heron heard of his grandfather's death, he immediately returned to Scotland, declaring that he was the heir to Bargaly.There was a lawsuit between the first cousins, but Dr. Heron won the battle, and remained as the heir.
I am, however, trying to track oral tradition stories about four Scottish-born "WOODBURN HERON" brothers who lived in early 1700s Jamaica on the Mount Nelson Plantation in the then-parish of St. Elizabeth.The brothers were in the army and the navy prior to their arrival in Jamaica.
I am also trying to track oral tradition stories about
WILSONS, WOODBURNS,and HERONS living in Jamaica IN EARLY 1700S (that is, prior to the arrival of the brothers: Alexander, Robert and William Heron in the 1790s (later known as part of the Wigton Heron group).
Sincerely
Bev.
