Christening of James Smith in the IGI on 24 May 1680 in Auchterhouse, Angus, father David Smith.
The same information is in Scotlands People but the original is illegible.
The same information is in the Ancestral File adding his mother's name as Margrit Gray.
There is also a submitted entry in the IGI for James Smith born about 1674 in Newtyle married to Margaret Rae, and a daugter Margaret.
All the children were christened in Newtyle, parents James Smith and Margaret Rea.
There are no christenings for Rae in Newtyle - there was Margaret Rae christenened in Glamis (9 miles east) in 1683 but another Margaret was christened with the same father in 1691 implying the first one died. There were three marriages for Rae in Newtyle about this time - Margrat Rae to Patrike Tasker on 19 February 1691, Elizabeth Rae to Georg Millar on 9 August 1695 and Alexander Rae to Helen Smith on 15 February 1717. I assume all had the same parents. The only burial was a Jean Rea on 8 January 1763.
Auchterhouse is 9 miles NW of Dundee on B964, and Newtyle is 3.5 miles futher NW on B954.
James Smith was Felicity's sixth great grandfather.
