Branch No. 39
1 JAMES LATTA born at Paisley, Scotland about 1837.
Married Jane Kelvie of
Kiraubright. Six children. All but three, John, ____ and Elizabeth born
in Ayrshire. John was born in Belfast, Ireland and Elizabeth was born in Troon,
Scotland. Elizabeth married Andrew Dunsmore and in 1912 they lived at 33 George
Street, Paisley, Scotland. Mary was born in Paisley, and died there August
1908. Married James Rutherford and had one child, James.
JAMES, son of 1 JAMES, born in Ayrshire and died there in
1882. He married Jessie
Jolly of Glasgow.
DAVID, son of 1 JAMES, was born in Troon, Ayrshire about
1870. He married Ellen
Greenshield in Glasgow in 1896. In 1900 all the family came to America.
He was a stationary engineer.
In your branch No. 44, and in the above branches 34 and 39,
Paisley is in all three. Troonis in 44 and 39. Dumbarton is in 8, 39 and
44. In 34 JANE LATTA died in Ayr. In 34
WILLIAM was one of the heads of the Coats Thread Mills at Paisley. In 44, your
branch, your sister, MARY, married I.P. Coats of Paisley. This is probably one
of the Coats of the Thread Mills.
NOTE: (Robert Latta)?
I have 12 branches in Scotland and four of these branches,
14, 34, 39 and 44 lived in
Ayrshire. Branch 14 is that of Sir John Latta of London, England.
In your branch, 44, David Gilmore, lives in Braxpan, Union
of South Africa. And in
branch 34, WILLIAM, son of 1 PETER, died in the West Coast of Africa. I think
it was on the Gold Coast, on the south of that country.
The above is more than a coincidence. It looks as if
your branch connects with branches 34 and 39. I hope you can make the
connection.
In branch 39, John, who was born in Belfast, had all his
children born in Ayrshire.
John Latta, branch 34, born in Ayrshire, Scotland, but now
living at Vancouver, British
Columbia, Canada, told me that the records of the Latta family are found in the
Parish Churches of Mauchline, Ochiltree, and Ayrshire. He said a certain Judge
Latta, S.S.C., who lived in Edinburgh, had collected a large amount of information
about the Latta family. I tried to reach him, but failed.
