Hi! Nice to make the connection. I have James Robertson b. 1828 married to Mary Webster, in our family tree too! I have their children as
Mary b. 1850
Margaret Metcalf b. 1853
James b. 1852
Alexander b. 1856
I also note that Mary Webster Robertson remarried, to a William Barclay and they had two sons
William b. 1861
John b. 1863
Does this match your info at all? Would love more about exact dates and the marriage to Barclay etc. I have James Robertson’s parents as James Robertson and Margaret Anton (she is b. 1790 d. 1852). They married 23 Mar 1823.
Look forward to hearing from you. My namne is Donna Creamore. I live in Vancouver BC
Hi Donna,
We are definitely connected. Margaret Metcalf Robertson was my great grandmother.
Let’s compare notes!

Thanks Joan. Good to hear from you.
To compare notes, let’s start with Mary Webster and James Robertson. See my earlier email for some questions I have. Do we have any earlier ancestors for them? Let’s stick with them, their parents and their children for now so we don’t overload my feeble brain with too much information at once… you know, I’m over 40 after all! lol
