Biography

John Shiel[1] is estimated to have been born about 1688, possibly in Swinie, Jedburgh, Roxburghshire, Scotland.

Research notes

What relationship is John to James Shiel?

James Shiel, smith in Houston had a daughter Janet baptised in 1716, with two witnesses given:
"Robert his father" assumed to be James' father
"John Sheil in Swinie"
Identification of relationships is further complicated by the fact that "James Sheil the smith in Houston" married "Isabel Sheil in Swinie"in 1715 - which review probably makes it more likely that John is Isabel's father, brother or uncle? Henderson-2297
