Richmond/Brown/Paton connection?
I have a Mary Brown b. 1805 of Newmilns who married Alexander
Paton of Galston in 1830. Mary's father was Andrew Brown and her mother was Mary
Morton. Mary's brother was a Doctor.
Mary and her husband were buried in the Newmilns
Parish Churchyard in the
Grave of the Richmonds. Her grand uncle was Major James
Richmond of
Tarbolton, at Newmilns.
The
Paton descendants of Mary and Alexander carry the
Richmond name as a middle or first name for several generations.
