A correction to my previous message, in case anyone is vitally interested in the Scottish ancestry of Kitty Glass :-)

Holmer is very clear that Kitty's father was John Smith and that his mother was Cameron from Tarbert. However all other evidence suggests that Miss Cameron was Kitty's MATERNAL grandmother, the mother of her mother, Margaret McKey. The Campbeltown marriage registry contains the following relevant entry: Daniel McKey Servt. in Kilkiran from Rathlin and Elizabeth Cameron daught. to Dond. Cameron Labourer in Campbeltown, both in this parish Mar. 1 July 1806.
