John Taylor : a Scottish merchant of Glasgow and New York, 1752-1833 A family narrative written for his descendants . Margaret. Margaret (in Scotland) in 1784. Elizabeth (Eliza) in 1786. Andrew (named after Johns father) in 1788. James Scott (named after Margarets father) in 1789. John Burnside (named after Johns Glasgow friend) in 1791. Andrew (the Second) in 1793.
