Peter Patrick Imlay

Post by Patrick McReaken » Mon May 21, 2007 4:41 pm

I'm searching for the birth location and record for Peter Patrick Imlay. Was thought to be born in 1660 in Aberdeenshire, immigrated to US via Old Caldonia (sailing ship) in 1783, died in 1727-1744 in Philidelphia, Pennsylvania. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Patrick
...and welcome to Talking Scot. :D

I note there is a submission on the IGI which you are probably already aware of:
  • Peter IMLAY
    Male
    Birth: About 1660 , , Scotland
    Death: 1727
    Marriages:
    Spouse: Margaret
    Marriage: < 1689> <Of, Freehold, Monmouth, New Jersey>

    Record submitted after 1991 by a member of the LDS Church. No additional information is available. Ancestral File may list the same family and the submitter.
    Source Information:
    No source information is available.
There is one born in Aberdeenshire on Scotlands People, but born in 1699, so too late for your one.

At http://www.gro-scotland.gov.uk/files/li ... 8to249.pdf
you can see a list of the extant OPRs for Aberdeenshire: although many of these start before 1660, some of these do not start until after that date so it may be very difficult to establish a birth for him, but you may just be lucky!

Best wishes
Lesley
