| Ida MacPherson *1873 NY, USA FamilySearch LYWW-FTC Parents inferred from family lore and census data: if Ida's daughter Dorothy was the niece of JBP 10042, then Ida must have been the sister of JBP 10042. 110462 |

| Isabel Somerville *1849 near Glasgow, Scotland The following info from New York City Marriage records at Family Search (giving name as Isabella, but matching parents' and spouse's names): marriage date, husband's age (23), estimated DOB, parents, own place of birth 10050 <45:6 |
James Somerville Earl of Somerville? According to family oral history, JBM 10042 received a GBP 500 inheritance from her (great?) uncle, of whose existence she had been previously unaware, who had amassed a fortune (possibly by building an operating a toll bridge) and been made the Earl of Somerville late in his life. Neil Somerville points out that this is a different title from the Scottish Lord Somerville, but I haven't yet tracked down the Earl. I do not know why my grandfather labels James as Earl of Somerville. 10065 |

| Margaret Masterton +1870 FamilySearch.org lists a woman of this name (their code LYMX-TMY) married to a James Somerville, with a daughter named Jeanette (1854-1936), who married on 1882 04 24 a Charles Gies (1852-1909) and had three children. The same website lists another woman of this name (9Q4P-QK9) who married a James Somervil 9Q4P-QVL in 1841 08 ?? in New Monkland, Lanark, Scotland. No other information, so presumably just the transcription of a marriage record that could belong to our Margaret Masterton. 10066 |

(22), son William Jr. (12), daughter Dorothy (4), sister-in-law Mabel MacPherson (born in NY, parents listed as born Scot/English). Children all born in NJ, their unnamed mother born in NY. FamilySearch LYW7-ZZ6. On FamilySearch, Reed Guymon says that he married Geneva Nanny (1867-1888) at Middleton, Orange Co. NY in 1887, but that she died in 1888 of blood poisoning, and he had to remarry. He and many relatives are buried at Cedar Lawn Cemetery. 110461 | William A. Rutan *1898 03 16 Passaic Co., NJ, USA Called "Big Bill" by JKL 10004, q.v. L7HY-NT5 in FamilySearch, from whence DOB, DOD. In 2020, JJC 10003 recalled that when he was a teenager (so in the late 1930s), he met Bill, who was in fact quite tall. This casts doubt on the listed DOD. 110467 | ||
