There is also a John Bisland mentioned who married Mary Ross and then in 1821 Mary Ring. Is this "John" the same as James?
There is also mentioned a William Bisland married to Mary Witherspoon.
John Bisland's letterbook of 1817 (which John?) has a copy of a letter by William McAulay (a nephew) to John Bain in Scotland.
Also in my post #758 I noted a Margaret McAulay who d. 29 Jan 1885, aged 84 who was married to a Mr Bisland. Coincidence perhaps, but an interesting one.
Letter to Susannah Bisland from Alexander McAulay.
