Nancy Colquhoun - Speculative Lineages Create Genealogical Problems

Katherine McAuselan Married to Robert Colquhoun is my connection and why I was posting about Nancy's profile stating her connection is speculative.

Thanks for helping confirm the connections, Erica Howton

Nancy Colquhoun is mentioned in her father's last will and testament dated 16 and 17 May 1617.

The Chiefs of Colquhoun. Volume I: 230

However, I don't see any evidence which proves that it was this child who married John McAuselan in 1621.

Descent and alliances of Croslegh, or Crossle, or Crossley, of Scaitcliffe; and Coddington of Oldbridge; and Evans, of Eyton hall:

Excellent info! Thanks to everyone for the links.

My line descendants from son James of Catherine Hamilton and Rev. Alexander Colquhoun. He immigrated from Ireland to Pennsylvania and was married to Catherine Montgomery.

Erica, if you can access this link: I'm from James and Catherine's son William who ended up in SC and was married to Agnes Long. They were part of the Long Cane's massacre families.

I can't copy and paste from the document to here.

Erica, what has me dizzy is that in my Ancestry tree these folks trace up on my dad's paternal side, being descendants of one of the survivors of the Long Cane massacre, but the pathway on Geni is on my mom's side, so I've got to sort it out where the overlap is. Right now just trying to get them correctly connected so I don't get any more confused. lol

Awesome! Thank goodness for Geni push pin! Both my parents are 10th great-grandchildren of John McAuselan:

I just added some info to

John McAuselan

He seems to be connected to the wrong parents. I added a screenshot under his Media tab and copied and pasted into his About section the info related to that screenshot.

I really appreciate your eyes on all this. It has had my head spinning because I'm related via both parents and the Colquhouns and McAuselan folks seemed to have intermarired several times, so just a huge tangle of kinfolk. lol I used to could work on these kinds of scenarios than I seem able to these days. It used to envigorate me and now it's mentally exhausting. Getting old, Erica - I turned 75 this year. I felt great until about 2018 and it has been a bit of a downhill slide ever since, healthwise. Getting older isn't for the wimpy. Anyway, I will keep doing what I can while I can, trying to get it all as correct as I can for my son and other kinfolk. All that said to make the point of how very much I appreciate your assistance on lines like these. You have resources and know-how that I lack. So much of these kinds of lines in our tree would have a lot more errors in them and get perpetuated all over the place if it weren't for the collaboration on Geni.
