Descendants of John Dinnie

 

 

Generation No. 1

 

1.  JOHN1 DINNIE was born in Forest of Birse, Aberdeenshire - Known in 1618.

 

Notes for JOHN DINNIE:

In 1618 John Dinnie and his son John, were witnesses for the Marquis of Huntly, to land transfer to John Davidson, nearest lawful heir of the deceased Andrew Davidson in Belwode.

 

Considering that John, the son, would probably require to be over 21 years of age to witness such a legal document, we can assume that he would have been born around the 1590's, and his father in the 1570's.
