bullet  General Notes:

James was a Tollkeeper and his daughter Margaret married William Napier in Fetteresso. There is also a death record for a Jane NAPIER, daughter of John FAIRWEATHER, Tollkeeper and Margaret REID. She was married to James Napier a Handloom Weaver. It is curious that James & John Fairweather were both Tollkeepers in the same area and both had daughters who married Napiers. However, William and James Napier were not brothers as they had different parents according to their death certificates, and Margaret and Jane Fairweather were not sisters as they had different fathers according to their death certificates. Notwithstanding this, James Napier, Weaver, was a witness at the birth of William's son, William, so it appears they at least knew each other, and most likely were related somewhere along the line.

There is a record of a marriage between a James Fairweather and an Isobel ALLAN on 18 Jun 1785 in Kirkden and repeated on 19 Jun 1785 in Dunnichen. Both of these locations are in Angus, but not too far from where Margaret was born. As Margaret's first daughter was named Isobel there is a strong possiblity that these are her parents.

The Fairweathers appear to have their origins in Angus.
