• Notes

  1. This is what I have on Eliza because of what I received from Thomas Furman several days ago. (4 Mar 92) SCRYMGEOUR- Standard bearers for the king for 800 years. Titles from knight to earl. Her father was prospective head of house, died on way to America. Eliza was born post-humas. When her son Richard was 19 she went to Scotland to claim title and estates. The family lived there for two years. Received large estate which was converted to money but failed to get title for son Richard. The title was Scrymgeour, Earl of Dundee. [2, 5]
