Birth:
later family documents lead me to believe that his origins may have been Irish, possibly a worker in a mill in Scotland when he qualified for passage to Canada.

He is shown as having a wife and two sons, one over the age of 12 and the other under the age of 12 when he travelled to Canada. This would suggest that he would be in his thirties at the time of emigration placing his date of birth before 1790.

"Abercrombie Street - Trans Atlantic Bridgeton - sailed with 7 children; wife arrived later.
James Baird came from Glasgow but was originally from Perthshire Scotland. He appears to have sailed with seven children but without his wife, Janet King. She appears to be buried with him at Hopetown so possibly she remained behind and joinde him in 1821. Some women, pregnant or with a sick child, did this." The Lanark Society Settlers, Carol Bennett

Died:
PERTH COURIER - September 20, 1889 - death Lanark Township on Wed. 11th Sept., Jane Baird Johnston, relict of the late Mr. Robert Johnston, aged 91 years.

In the same paper:
On Wednesday of last week one of the oldest residents of Lanark County, Mrs. Robert Johnston died at the residence of her nephew Andrew Baird at the great age of 91 years. The deceased, whose maiden name was Jane Baird was born in Glasgow, Scotland in 1798 and came to Canada to settle in the township of Lanark. Her husband was Robert Johnston who died many years ago. Her home was in the vicinity of Hopetown, latterly living with her nephews Messrs John and Andrew Baird who made their old aunt's declining years as comfortable as kind hands could. Mrs. Johnston was a member of the Presbyterian Church. She leaves a large number of relatives in the township.

Notes:

Married:
by Rev. William Bell, First Presbyterian Church, Perth Ontario. A working copy of notes by J.R. Ernest Miller suggest that "the bride ran". This would have been based on William Bell papers found in the vault at St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church in Perth, ON and would possibly now be located at the Presbyterian Church of Canada archives. Another possibility would be the Bell diaries, part of the Queen's University archival holdings in Kingston, ON.

the birthplace of James Baird Senior, Lanark Society Settler Brig Brock 1820, (Diane's 4 great grandfather) who is part of John McLachlan Senior's "party" on the Brock.

?b?TULLIALLAN, Perthshire ?/b?
"TULLIALLAN, parish, containing Kincardine town, on the Forth, in a detached district of Perthshire. Its length is about 2 3/4 miles; its breadth nearly 2 1/2 miles; its area 3586 acres. Real property in 1880-81, ?9120. Pop. 2199. The land contains part of a gentle broad-based hill, but mostly slopes gently from northern boundary to the Forth, and comprises a valuable tract, reclaimed and embanked from the tide. Coal and ironstone are plentiful. The chief seat is Tulliallan Castle; and the chief antiquities are the ruined old Tulliallan Castle, and the old church at Overtown. The present churches are Established, Free, and United Presbyterian, and the public schools are 2, with about 251 scholars."

An earlier structure about a half mile NW, Old Tulliallan Castle, was built by 1304, when it was ordered to be strengthened by Edward I of England, it then passed into the ownership of William Douglas first Earl of Douglas, and was granted by the Douglases to the Edmonstones,and thence to a junior branch of the Blackadders , and finally to the Bruces of Carnock. A fortified house with a keep and rib- vaulted ground floor, it was abandoned in the seventeenth century.

The Earl Lord Douglas - the Douglas estates of his father lay in some of the staunchest Presbyterian, covenanting territory in Scotland , and his tenantry were not at all amenable to King James ( James II of England , James VII of Scotland ), a Catholic. This Regiment, the Cameronian's, one of the oldest in the British Army - was also the personal Regiment of The Baron, the Earl Lord Dalhousie, Governor General of the Province of Canada in Europe. Earl Lord Dalhousie was Lt. Colonel of the Cameronian's.
