Research Notes

I have seen his parents claimed to be James Nisbet (1700-1759) and Margaret (Panton) Nisbet (1696-1782) One concern is the naming customs of the time do not appear to be followed, and with almost 89% of entries missing from the old parish records, it would still only a possibility. Scotland missing records 'It is always hard to tie a birth with the parents, if you don't have parents from a marriage record or some other source, (such as a death record that names parents and the spouse,) and so far none is found to back up this claim.
