Notes about Sophia King

1. Ref: Scottish Coal Mining Ancestors, author Lindsay S. Reeks. Gateway Press, Baltimore 1986.
Sophia, bp. 20 Dec. 1712, Largo p., res. Nether Dromachy, wit: Alexander Chisholm, Andrew Black [167]. M. 4 Jul. 1736, Scoonie p., Michael Paton, of Markinch p. [169]. It is felt this m. refers to the ancestor, as the first son was baptized John, and Markinch bps. show the family resided in the coaltown [176], which might indicate that Michael Paton was a miner. No other Sophia King was found in Largo or Scoonie baptismal records, which would qualify her as the ancestor.

      About the Book

      This book is a work of over 30 years research of records of coalmining parishes of Scotland in the counties of Midlothian, Fife, West Lothian, East Lothian, Lanark, and Stirling; the counties of Northumberland and Durham in England, and a few areas of Australia.

      The families include ANDERSON, ARCHIBALD, BLACK, BOYD, BROWN, CHEYNE, CRAWFORD, CUNNINGHAM, FLEUCKER, JACK, JOHNSTON, KING, LINDSAY, LOURIE, MILLER, MOFFAT, NEILSON, PENTLAND, PORTEOUS, REID, ROBERTSON, RUSSEL, SMITH, STEEL, WALKER, WILLIAMSON, WILSON, and others. Many of them are traced back well over 300 years. Each line, treated alphabetically, is fully documented with sources used, contains supportive evidence, and an index of complete names. Some information on Scottish family research, and on Scottish coalminers, is also given.

      The book is 293 pages, hardcover, and is illustrated.
