: This is what I am thinking, 1715 John
: Speirs had three sons, John
: Alexander, James. We know the
: Alexander line as he becomes the
: Tobacco Baron. I am guessing that we
: are the descendants of the John
: line. Dr. John Speirs marries
: Margaret Cunningham and her fathers
: name is William Cunningham esquire,
: we have a copy of the marriage
: certificate. For some reason the
: grooms father is not listed. It is
: stated that William Cunningham was
: one of the barons and the speirs
: were connected through marriage. So
: i think that is the link. Or after
: saying all that we could be from the
: James line that is what we are
: researching at the moment. In total
: I am looking for the siblings line.
: annie tks for your response

: Hello. I am not connected to the
: family as far as I know, but I have
: part of the family tree of the
: Spiers Glasgow tobacco merchant, but
: I have no Cunningham on that tree.
: But of course there may be one,
: because my research is not fully
: comprehensive. There is a John
: Spiers son of Alexander
: Spiers/Speirs and Mary Buchanan but
: he was born 1757 and died 1773. The
: name is largely spelled as Speirs in
: Glasgow.
