Errata

Not finished yet

All claims of being descended from Nisbets of Hardill are errors

Claims that Alexander Nisbet 1731-1773 (Chapter X.) was son of John Nisbet and Sarah Brevard is also an error. (proven by YDNA Alexander matches Ayrshire Nisbets and John matches a Irish Nesbitt)

CHAPTER V MURDOCH NISBET OF GREENHOLM has numerous errors, the result of speculation, family tales, and a wishful connection to famous Nisbets still keeps it alive.

Archibald Nisbet, *1689, †1764, married Elizabeth Hogg. Sons were David and James († Chester, SC 1793).

10. David Nisbet, *1742; †Feb. 24, 1790.

11. James Nisbet (son of David above), *1770, †1830 in Newton Co., GA.

Claimed CHAPTER XVIII JOSEPH NISBET (ABOUT 1770-1825) AND FAMILY

He was a miller by trade. Mar. Nancy Ladarkas Gray of Cabarrus County. They had seven children as, Fact His marriage certificate gives his fathers given name as Richard. NIsbet Narrations CHAPTER XVIII claimed the father was Josiah "Josiah Nisbet left Waxhaw in 1849 for the "West" in search of gold and was killed in a mine when a bucket fell on him. " This Josiah married someone else and did not die in 1849, so is not the father. Possibly--- The name Richard and DNA match Kirk would then make the father Richard Kirk. Possibly the Richard Kirk where it also has a story about gold in California. ( In 1849 John Kirk (age 37) and his brother went to California, sailing from New Orleans and rounded Cape Horn; the trip consumed three months. They remained in California with the original Argonauts for nine months. John returned to the states when his brother became sick. His brother died aboard the ship in 1851 when in sight of New Orleans. John brought his brother's body to Stop Landing for burial. It is thought this was his brother Richard - though no source can be found to confirm. His burial spot at Stop Landing is unmarked.)
