| There must be some uncertainty on the following generations since BP1934 omits details of them whilst giving contradictory information, viz: that the great-grandson of William and Marion Chalmers was John Dalrymple of Stair who married Isabel Crawford (dau of George Crawford of Lochnorris) and had a son James (of Stair) whose great-grandson was the 1st Viscount. That report seems to have too many generations. We follow TSP. | |||||||||||||||
