David Nicol & Janet Bremner: Somewhere in Scotland, about the year 1740, was born a man we know as David Nicol. Although his early life is a mystery to us, one thing is sure: in 1763, he married Janet (Jannet) Bremner (b c1740). We know this from Church records, because they fined him for being with child too close to the marriage date. We have no further information on the child of 1763.
The first child we have a record of is Alexander b-1767 at Gooseburn Farm on the Black Isle, Ross & Cromarty Scotland. David & Janet then had John, James, Janet & Isobel (born 1782). (Likely, there were others children, since families then were usually large.)
