In 1927, Charles M. Milroy (an American descendent of the McJerrows) madea trip to Scotland where he discovered some long lost relatives. Onerelative that he visited was David McJerrow, then a M.P. and a solicitorwith McJerrow and Stevenson, Solicitors of Lockerbie, Scotland (later tobecome famous as the crash site of Pan-American Flight 103 brought downby terrorists). In December 1927 this David wrote Charles Milroy a letterdetailing some of the early McJerrow history. I have the originalhandwritten letter and typed versions. It was probably sent to Ethel Muirby William Milroy (Charlie's cousin); I reproduce part of it here on the

early history of the family (other extracts appear later):In 1556, according to an old history of the County of Ayr, the McJerrowsowned the larger part of the parish of Barr in that county. They wereapparently considerable land owners and a family of some position. Suchthey continued till 1680. On a beautiful morning in the month of June,that year, the then proprietor took it into his head to ride to thecounty town where, at the market cross of Ayr, he intimated to thecitizens that he renounced his allegiance to King Charles Second, who, hestated, was a traitor to his country and had earned the contempt of allhonest men. I have sometimes wondered if our national poet, Robert Burns,had this incident in his mind when he wrote the well-known lines: Auld Ayr, Whom ne'er a toon surpasses For honest men and bonnie lassesWhether that be so or not, our worthy but rash ancestor was promptlyreported to the town authorities, who equally promptly reported him tothe Privy Council. He was summarily ordered to appear in Edinburgh andexplain his conduct. Why he was not beheaded I do not know, but unluckilyfor his descendents, his estates were confiscated. Apparently after thesale of the estate, the family had some little means left for theypurchased two farms Arnsheen and Alton Albany which they held down to1700. At that time there was a large family and on the Laird's death itwas thought advisable to sell the two farms and divide the proceeds amongthe family. The best known member of the family seems to have been Dr.McJerrow, who had a large practice in Ayr and was well known in thatcounty. In his will he appointed James Boswell of Auchen Loch, a wellknown country gentleman and biographer of Dr. Samuel Johnson, his executor. Charles M. Milroy, who we know to be a cousin of Dr. William ForsythMilroy below. Charles was the traveller to Scotland mentioned above andthe recipient of the letter from David McJerrow. In 1927 he was a Judgeof the Court of Common Pleas in Toledo, Ohio. He was married and had a family, including a son Richard.
