Research Notes:
FATHER
The Families of Moir and Byres places this Janet Anderson as great-granddaughter of Gilbert Anderson, that is to say daughter of David's son, also called David.
It is true that her baptismal text calls her father "David Andersone yonger", but the dates suggest that this may simply mean her father had an uncle David or a grandfather David.
Since she married in the early 1620s, she is most likely the daughter of Gilbert's son David, and so the granddaughter of Gilbert Anderson. 4
Janet married John GREGORIE Minister of Drumoak parish, son of James GREGORIE Saddler, Burgess of Aberdeen and Margaret BARBOUR, in 1621.1 (John GREGORIE Minister of Drumoak parish was born in 1598 1 and died before 31 March 1653 1.)
