Ballaird is in the parish of Colmonell, Ayrshire. According to “A directory of Landownership in Scotland c. 1770” lands at Ballantrae, Ayrshire, worth 185 pounds, 16 shillings and 8 pence, were owned by Benjamin Paterson of Glentig. His name does not occur in connection with Colmonell property. Ballaird had been bought by Benjamin Paterson, a London merchant, from Alexander Kennedy in 1631 (family letters). In Scottish archives there is the will of Fergus PATERSON of Ballaird, dated 1739 who is undoubtedly an antecedant of Jean.
