Life Events

NoteElizabeth's mother Jean Finlay was the daughter of William Finlay of Moss and Elizabeth Duncan who married in 1740. Elizabeth Duncan was the daughter of John Duncan and his wife Elizabeth Graham who married in 1703. She was noted to be 'one of the large clan of Grahams in Strathblane'. So, there is another Graham connection.2
