I am looking for info of ancestors/descendents of John Baptist, b 1811 in Berwickshire, Scotland, emigrated to ontario, Canada in 1837 with wife, Mary Dodds and 4 children. They had 8 more children. any info would be appreciated.

My great grandfather was George Baptist
born in Scotland April 02, 1839. I am not sure
but I believe his mother's name was Mary. Does
this fit with any information you have. Looking
in the Ontario census of 1871 Mary and several
males are listed as head of households. My great
grandfather I believe is buried in Cobourg
Ontario.
If interested in looking into this further
contact me at ceciljf@xtra.co.nz

Do you have the names of the children who were born in Scotland. My grandfather was born in Scotland and came to Canada settling around Cobourg I believe.
I would be interesting in communicating with you about this family.
Hope to hear from you.

I'm pretty sure that John Baptist and Mary Dodds are the grandparents of my maternal grandfather, George Baptist. Their son, Alexander, born in Berwickshire, is George's father. Alexander's wife was Mary Wilson.

What is your relationship to John Baptist and Mary Dodds?

I realize it's been years since your post, but if you read this, I'd love to communicate with you. You can email me at judysarts@earthlink.net.
Thanks, Judy Schuster

John Baptist and Mary Dodd are my great grandparents. My grandmother was Agnes Baptist. I have alot of info on this family, including a picture of Mary and her obituary.
