This is a 1500 possible merge but the fathers are different. May be a duplicate tree or not a match at all.

Sir James Scott, 12th Baron of Balwearie & Sir James Scott, 12th Baron of Balwearie

Keri Denise Jackson, ♊ Twin "A" This needs research and sourcing before any of your questions can be answered.

I saw the merge completed, after all it could have been just a multi-titling problem: names and dates matched.

now I would like to point out the homonymy between 2 new half-brothers
-[2016]James Scott (1585-...)
-[2020]James Scott (1570-1637)

also a little zombie problems very near: https://www.geni.com/family-tree/index/6000000006873302037#60000000...
She, her husband, & 2 child

I was working on sourcing from “bottom up.”

For Sir Laurence Scott

===LAURENCE SCOTT OF CLERKINGTON===

Children

* A. Sir William Scott of Clerkington (Senator of College of Justice) m1. (Catherine) Morrison (dau of (John) Morrison of Preston Grange)
* B. James Scott of Bonnytoun
* C. Laurence Scott ancestor of Scotts of Bavelaw
* D. (Marion) Scott -- m. (Richard) Lauder of Hatton --
* E. daugher m. _ Houstoun

So - an extra son Thomas Scott may need disconnect from parents and the daughters husbands clarified.

Thomas shows as the father of Katherine or Catherine Scott

Next issue is that so far I do not see that the parents of Sir James Scott, 12th Baron of Balwearie are known, nor confirmation as yet if his wives Lady Elizabeth Wardlaw (mother of the James Scott who married Catherine Alexander)

And the other wife Susanna Moseman mother of the other James Scott who is married to his brother Lawrence’s wife. (??)

Livio Scremin I’m not seeing the zombies in tree view. Can you point me closer?

A general reminder. Scots women in this period legally retained their birth surname. It’s not until the 19th century, I think, one begins to see married names in sources such as census.

3 killed, 1 to kill:

[2013]Thomas Watt (1606-1686) zombie killed married whit zombie to kill Janet Beg
have for BRO this homonym
[2013 same ADMN ]Thomas Watt (1614-...)

all very suspicious for a spaghetti eater like me (-->in my part the opposite often happens using the name of a young dead)
but here I am really very far from home and I just point it out to you.

I’m appreciating the help. This is an area that has pedigrees on line, but not very good about dates, which leads to “wishful thinking.”

What do people think based on this?

===Biography

John Woolf Jordan. Colonial families of Philadelphia (Volume 2) online. (page 69 of 114) [https://www.ebooksread.com/authors-eng/john-woolf-jordan/colonial-f... link]

Sir William Scott, of Balweary, son of Sir William, the Justice, was in his
father's lifetime put in possession of the lands and barony of Innertiel, and was
long designated by that title. He got a charter under the Great Seal, upon his
father's resignation, for the lands and barony of Glendoick, etc., in county Perth,
and the lands of Strameglo. or Strathmiglo, county Fife, dated March 5, 1528, and
another from King James V, under the Great Seal, dated May 7, 1535, for the
lands of "Cairny, alias Wester Strameglp." etc. In the sketch of his father in the
"Dictionary of National Biography," he is spoken of as the father of that Sir
James Scott, of Balweary, (flourished 1579-1606) who was concerned in the
intrigues of the Earls of Angus, Erroll and Huntley, of that time, and of the cele-
brated Francis, Earl of Bothwell, but was really his great-grandfather, as here-
after shown. Sir William married Isabel, daughter of Patrick, Fifth Lord Lind-
say of the Byres, and had two sons and a daughter:

*Sir William, his heir, of whom presently ;
*Andrew, ancestor of the Scotts of Ancrum, of whom presently ;
*Catharine, wife of Lawrence Mercer, of Aldie.

Sir William was succeeded by his eldest son ....

Here’s the immigrant ancestor

Lieut. John Scott

Here the “1st Laird Harden” who was not married to Isabel Lindsay.

William "Boltfoot" Scott of Harden, 1st Laird

Her husband was Sir William Scott, 9th of Balwearie

They were not the parents of Sir James Scott, 12th Baron of Balwearie - I still don’t see parents for him, so disconnected.

Sir William Scott, 9th of Balwearie married when he was only 13 years old.
Tip: Correct the birth (born 1503) or marriage date or marriage status of the profile (Sir William Scott, 9th of Balwearie). Consistency atert.
