Research Notes

Margaret's father has previously been shown on WikiTree as John Barclay of Ury d.1731. This stemmed from a presupposition that it was this John Barclay who married her mother Margaret Ker. There is no evidence for this relationship. A Y-DNA exercise completed October 2020 shows that this John Barclay of Ury was not the father of Margaret Ker's sons. In addition Douglas Richardson gives only one marriage for him, to Katherine LNAB Unknown, and names just one son, John.^[3]
