Webmaster's notes:

I am grateful to Nancy Loe for providing much of the detail for this family together with the links to D2, T1 and P6. She wrote:

David Mutch b. 1735 is my g-g-g-g-grandfather; James Mutch b. 1771 [J11] is my g-g-g-grandfather. His son Thomas [T1] b. 1815 is my g-g-grandfather and I've added his children to the report. It's his daughter, Mary, who was my g-g-grandmother. My sources are a combination of Scotland Census and professional research done for a second cousin by Kathleen Cory.

I also highlighted some additional children of James Mutch and Esther Nicol.

See full details of Nancy's information on the Mutch links to the Ross family.
