Posted below is the family of Margaret Gordon, commencing with a William BORTHWICK who was born in 1722 and died in October 28, 1766 in Raeknous Wamphray Scotland. William's spouse was Elizabeth JOHNSTON & they were married on May 24, 1747 in Moffat, Dumfries. Margaret is particularly keen to discover the parents of William, or anything else about him.
I would love to know whether this William Borthwick's family were connected in any way to mine. My great-great-great grandfather, William Murray Borthwick, was born in Moffat in 1782. He and his brother were both baptised there (Alexander in 1795) and later nieces and nephews were married there.
There was, it seems, a small community of Borthwicks
in Moffat for at least 200 years. If any reader has a connection to any Borthwicks
of Moffat, or can help to shed light on the relationships between the families
there I would be very pleased to hear from you. Please email
me.
