This is my McWhirter line and Maybole connection and I am
interested in contact with anybody who has connections or interest in this
family or any information about them. I have marked with 'bold'
those of my own particular line but all connected are also of interest.
From ORIGINS index - John McWHIRTER and Jean
SLOAN had the following children:
Alexander McWhirter 17 July 1771 - registered Colmonell
Andrew McWhirter 12 October 1772 - registered at Colmonell
Janet McWhirter 11 October 1774 - registered at Colmonell
Martha McWhirter 24 March 1776 - registered at Colmonell
William McWhirter 28 August 1778 - registered at Colmonell
John McWhirter 9 August 1788 - registered at Colmonell
Hugh McWhirter 6 September 1782 - registered at Colmonell
From my researches which includes Census Returns and
purchased death certificates.
Alexander McWHIRTER
was a Stone Dyke builder who married Agnes McCLYMONT from Maybole -
search of the ORIGINS index would suggest that she was born 1764 at
Maybole, daughter of James McClymont and Isabel McCaul . Since they
had a son named Alexander Sloan McWhirter, I feel that it is safe to
assume that Alexander was the son of John McWhirter and Jean Sloan.
Alexander and Agnes McClymont / McLimont married on the 4 December 1795 at
Colmonell, Ayrshire. I suspect that the father of Agnes McClymont was the
James McClymont who is listed as admitted to the Council and Merchant in
Maybole in 1760 but I have nothing to confirm that. If anyone has any
information about that, I would be very grateful They had the following
children
John McWhirter 16 January 1796 - registered
Maybole
Mary McWhirter ca 1798/99 - Maybole from Census but not
registered
Jean McWhirter 1804 - registered Colmonell
James McWhirter 14 July 1806 - registered Ballantrae
Alexander Sloan McWhirter 31 Jan 1809 - registered
Ballantrae
Elizabeth McWhirter 30 March 1811 - registered Barr
Jennat McWhirter 6 July 1813 - registered Colmonell
Mary McWHIRTER
died 21 May 1875 aged 77yrs 2mths 3wks at Colmonell per death information
supplied by her husband, Thomas McLEAN - she had a grandson
Alexander born ca 1855 who lived with her and husband at Piper Knowes,
Colmonell, Barrhill. I am looking for anybody who has any knowledge or
connection to this family.
Alexander Sloan McWhirter appears to be the widower in 1881
who had married Margaret Campbell on the 6 February 1848 at Colmonell and
had children:
James McWhirter 27 November 1848 - registered Colmonell
Jane McWhirter 17 November 1849 - registered Colmonell
Alexander McWhirter 1 April 1851 - registered Colmonell
John McWhirter 3 January 1854 - registered Colmonell
plus granddaughter Margaret McWhirter born ca 1872 in
America
