John McQuillen ~1819
~1819.John McQuillen was born to John McQuillen & Janet Baxter- no SP baptism. In my view, he was likely born Auchterderran . He had brothers Henry McQuillen ~1823 & Robert McQuillen1826
1841C. John McGullin, 20, & supposed brother Henry, 15, ( ages rounded down to nearest 5) , ag. labourers recorded at the Blair Adam Inn Outhouse , Cleish - could not find this record on FMP, only Ancestry . Cleish ~5k SW of Kinross, where Henry has a son in 1845
| John McGullin | 20 |
| Henry McGullin | 15 |
His mother, Janet, 45, cottier, & Robert McQuillon, surely his brother? , labourer, are living Village of Lochgelly, Auchterderran. She born Fife, he not

1843. John McQuillon married Janet Tweedie on 24/11/1843 in Cleish - 2? records on SPnot purchased,unlikely to say anything more, like name his father
1851C. John McQuillon, 32, church officer, married, b, Auchtermuchty, was living School House, Cleish , Kinrossshire . Found this record on Anceatry, transcribed as McZuilton and his birthplace is given as Auchter Lenner- this could likely be Auchter Derran . Auchtermuchty is 25 k NNE of Auchterderran, ~ 20 form Cleish, so I am 95% sure this is a mistranscription!

I have established contact with a Colin McQuillen in Fife who makes films. He lives in Kirkcaldy but was born in Lochgelly and seems to be descended from John McQuillen 1819- from Jim 18/9/2019 .
My husband, Larry K. Dunn, is related to your family thru John McQuillen's wife Janet Tweedie and her 2nd husband, Thomas Robertson, then thru his sister Ann Robertson, then her descendants.- from Jim, received from Kathy Dunn : quite a way out connection!!
