I received this email and was wondering if anyone knows the information. If
you do please let me know so I won't do a lookup. Thanks, Fran Lake Co CC
dear Fran,
On a recent trip to Charlestown, I met your relative who said you might be
of help to me in finding information on possible offspring of James
MacPherson who was Secretary to the Governor of Florida, before it was a
state. We know of all the family history of three of the children born
abroad but have reason to believe he had childen in Florida or vicinity and
that we may be related.(He is the author of Ossian, Son of Fingal etc.) and
is buried in Westminster Abbey because he was a mop etc.
I wrote to Florida some years ago and was told I could not get any records
without a death certificate (or was it a birth certificate?) Unfortunately, I
am extremely busy with family illness , necessity to sell property etc and
can"t do anything about it. I tried the Mormon file a few years ago also
and it yielded nothing.
I don't have a computer but my daughter has email at work so if you find
anything you could let her know at bnolan(a)iiboston.org
Thank you in advance. Tomi Ann Nolan
