Notes - Who was Mary Millar? She has the same name as William's second motherin law but cannot be the same person as William's mother in law diedbefore 1860. It is possible that Mary was a relation of William'sfirst wife Catherine and was named for Catherine's mother. This was acommon occurrence in 19th century Scotland. Since Catherine was aninmate in the Paisley Poorhouse prior to her death in 1860, Mary couldhave been staying with William to help with his brood of smallchildren. On the other hand, Millar was a common surname and Marymay not have been a relation at all.
