  Research Notes:

PARENT STATUS

There is some certainty that George Sandilands Nisbet and Mary Wilson were the adoptive parents of George Morrison Nisbet. There is also some certainty that Mary Higgins was his biological mother. There is doubt about who his biological father was. The DNA testing that might assist in this has not yet taken place.

Mary married.
