"Before you leave your map of Scotland, note how near together many of our people lived, Paisley most of all, where Grandmother Milton's people lived, Laird John Ralston in a big three-storey house with servants' quarters on both ends of the building. Grandmother's mother, who was the wife of Laird John Ralston, was Ann Crawford. Their daughter, Agnes, married a man named Thomas Brown who took her to Edinburgh where my grandmother, Agnes Brown, was born near the castle. Glasgow needs to be mentioned among these nearby towns because that is where Uncle John Cumming was born. His mother was a McLardie."
