James Junkin is assumed to have been born about 1770, possibly in Stirlingshire, Scotland
Family
Husband: James Junkin
Wife: Christian Roy
Married
22 Dec 1799
St Ninians, Stirlingshire, Scotland [1]
entry for 22 Dec 1799 reads: "James Junkin Christian Roy StN" (indexed on SctP as RAY, scrawl could be interpreted as either. Childrens baptisns show mother as ROY)
BigY DNA results however disprove this. A descendant is an exact match to the two fifth cousins sharing the Stirlingshire line of William Junkin (1756-abt.1810) rather than the Perthshire line of William Junkine (1746-1838) married McGibbon.
