The information for this line comes from Anne Godfrey who will be happy to help others researching this line. The new information she has provided has still to be entered on this site. Anne wrote:

...I am descended from your # J07, John Mutch (born Jan. 17, 1749 at Cockmuir) and Margaret Cruikshank. I am descended from J09, James Mutch (born Jan. 21, 1780 at Rayne) and Ann Black, through their son George, born May 21, 1813 and his marriage to Jane Glennie.

According to a chart that was sent to me, # J07's parents are George Mutch and Margaret Walker, who were married June 12, 1739 in Cockmuir (they had 5 children, Barbara, b. Oct. 3, 1742, Hugh Mutch, born Jan. 5, 1746, John (my guy), Janet born Jan. 16, 1753 and George, born May 13, 1755 (or 1756, the print isn't clear).

I would be very happy to speak to any relative, no matter how distant! Anne Godfrey (great, great, great granddaughter of George Mutch and Jane Glennie (who died in 1905 of a rat ulcer of the face....)

Glen Stewart from New Zealand contacted the website about his link to this family line (Updated corrections have been included (see the next note):

"My line descends from John Mutch J7 whose daughter Isobel married James Diack. John is my direct ancestor, 7 generations. Their son James (1797) married Ann Robertson (1800-1860) in 1824 at Aberdeen.Elizabeth Williamson b 1801 d 30 Sep 1833 Cushieton, Aberdeenshire. They were married 22 Oct 1820 Rayne. Their daughter Anne Diack (1826-1870) married Keith Stewart (b 1816 in Rayne) in 1847. Their son William Stewart (1851-1926) born in Rayne, emigrated to NZ in 1870 on the vessel Auckland. William married NZ born Janet Ramsay Bennett Thomson in 1878. The Thomson family came from Midlothian and emigrated to NZ on the vessel Blundell in 1848. William and Janet are my Great Grandparents.

Michele contacted me to point out an error in the marriage details for daughter Isobel:

The information provided by Glen Stewart is inaccurate, according to my research. John Mutch's J7 daughter Isobel was married to James Diack b 1764 Rayne. Their son James b28 Feb 1797 Rayne d 24 Sep 1859 Woodside Aberdeen. He was NOT married to Ann Robertson. Rather, he was married to Elizabeth Williamson b 1801 d 30 Sep 1833 Cushieton, Aberdeenshire. They were married 22 Oct 1820 Rayne, Aberdeenshire.

This information is confirmed by the statutory register of death which confirms James parents, that he was a widower and he is buried in the Graveyard of Old Logie, Chapel of Garoch. The grave marker states he was the husband of Elizabeth Williamson
