In Response To: Re: COLLISTER, thomas ()

Thanks so much. That will be her. Fortunately, or unfortunately, I have WATTERSONS on 3 sides............Williams, Henry's Johns. Some were called "Nells" from Surby because they took the maiden name of mother which I take was Eleanor?? Know anything about that?

On Wattersons: Margaret Watterson, (b. abt. 1765 marr. Nov. 13 1790 Kirk Rushen to Thomas Cubbon( b. Sept. 1765 Malew or Rushen). They had several children, including 3 boys who were struck by lightning and killed. Apparently, they lived at her mother's farm in Ballakilley or Ballakelley???? I saw a article about this in one of the fam. history books. Do you know anything further on this. Were Margaret Watterson's parents Wm. and Eleanor Crebbin?? U
