• Notes

  Early Life Margaret Ramsay was most likely born c. 1710, given she married in 1734. Annoyingly, whilst many of her siblings have baptismal records on FamilySearch, Margaret herself doesn't. Her parents were David Ramsay1 of Lethandie and Mungall in Perthshire and his wife Euphemia Elphinstone. Footnotes [1] The relationship is explicitly given in The Baronetage of England, Vol. 4 pages 405-406, "Callander of Westertown, Stirlingshire"
