Individual Notes
• Hugh MacMorran married a Jane Finlay. This could be Jean or Jane. Her maiden name was Gordon. I found a marriage certificate for a Jean Gordon and Andrew Finlay on Ancestry who were married on Nov. 13, 1793, in Midlothian, Edinburgh (Exhibit E(1). I found a Birth Certificate for a John Finlay born to Andrew Finlay and Jean Gordon with a birthdate of March 6, 1801 in Edinburgh (Exhibit E (2)). I believe John Finlay was Jean/Jane McMorran’s son from her marriage to Andrew Findlay. His date of birth and his age on the ship manifest to South Carolina is about right.3195, p 6
