"Thankyou Russell for pointing out this excellent reference.
I know you found this a long time ago, but I hadn't realised its significance until today.
Best regards"

Thanks again for your help. Just learning to navigate Ancestry.com site and finding more information from diligent research by many connected to Samuel Marksberry that is verified by my DNA match to Samuel Marksbury styled the III, where others have found records documenting his existence in America and service as soldier in the American rebellion. It appears documentation ends there and no evidence for his parentsand grandparents exists except in family lore. Time for an advanced DNA test it seems?

How good of you to reach out. Thank you. I am a real greenhorn on this. Can you explain where I find the "Familysearch" site and what is the code you attached? Many thanks!

I did look at that record but couldn't quite match him to the Thomas Twidale/Twidle I'm looking for so it's onwards and upwards but thank you for your efforts and contribution.

Thank you for the information. Most kind. I am particularly interested in the last part of your message regarding him receiving a pension so I shall look further into that. Kind regards

Dollar Academy is about 45 minutes from my home, so I may arrange a visit.
Better if they were online!

Congratulations on finding the Dollar Magazine.
I think that other editions may well help with Douglas and Burns family research.

I have a different set of ancestors for Alexander Drysdale, who married Christian Donaldson.
https://www.douglashistory.co.uk/famgen/getperson.php?personID=I143430&tree=tree1
I am not sure that they were 'Sir' and 'Lady'.

Thanks for the reply. Here is everything that populated on Ancestry.com after I added my DNA result and while I still had an active subscription. I can't afford it now unfortunately, but it did preserve the people that it found. The workings of this, I am unsure of.
