Notes In The Margin

A Piperguy48 Production

My family, on my father’s side, appears to be remarkably unimaginative when it comes to the issuance of names for their male descendants as evidenced by the following:

David Black married Isabel Paterson and had a son,    

John Black on May 29, 1757, in Wemyss, Fife, Scotland.

James Black on Sep 02, 1786, in Wemyss, Fife, Scotland.

James Black married Janet Chambers and had a son,

David Black on Feb 18, 1809, in Wemyss, Fife, Scotland.

David Black married Grace Thomson and had a son,

James Black on Jun 08, 1838, in East Wemyss, Fife, Scotland.

James Black married Jane Sandeman and had a son,

David Black on Dec 06, 1874, in Wemyss, Fife, Scotland.

David Black married Mildred Black and had a son,

James Donald Black on Apr 11, 1911, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

James Donald Black married Nancy Thomson and had a son,

John David Black on Sep 02, 1948, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

John David Black married Linda Keeley but had no sons.

Instead, he had 3 lovely daughters,

     Jennifer Keeley Black on May 08, 1983, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada

     Arran Lee Black on Jun 13, 1985, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and

     Lauren Thomson Black on Nov 25, 1991, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

So far, none of these 3 beautiful and devoted children have produced a son. Instead, they have presented me with 3 precious granddaughters with whom I am extraordinarily pleased and proud.
