The father was a weaver with years of experience as a citizen of the Old Land where he witnessed many ec- clesiastical controversies and political strifes. He naturally held strong re- ligious views being descended from the Covenanters. He favored the Se- ceders and the Fathers of the Seces- sion founded by Rev. Ebenezer Ers- kine.

They settled closely together and a number of their de- scendants are still living on the old homesteads. Their native place was Glasgow and its vicinity where someof them had belonged to the brotherhood of weavers noted in Brit- ish history preceding the passing of the Reform Bill.
