• Hello, Nigel Anderson. My name is Richard Anderson. I live in Colorado, USA. I was looking up Bankfoot, as my GG grandfather owned the store there, and came across your post. My family is a decendant of William Clark and Janet Gardiner. My great grandfather, Peter Bryson Anderson was married to Elizabeth Jane's sister, Amelia Clark. Their son William Clark Anderson was my grandfather. I have made a couple of trips over there to see the country where they lived, and to see if there were any relatives still living. I journeyed around Redgorton, Tibbermore, Almondbank, Huntingtower, pitcairngreen, But I didn't make it up to Bankfoot. I have a pix with my Grandmother (she was daughter of William Hood) on the steps of the Bankfoot store that they owned.I wasn't sucessful in finding any living relatives, however. Not really knowing how to look, I suspect.
  
  I have some charts that a distant aunt had put together that you might like to see. Send my your email that we might communica

The John Taylor Heritage During the 19th century two Taylors~ unknown to each other at their points of departure but destined to have a significant influence in the destiny of the Eastern Cape~ came to South Africa as missionaries of the London Missionary Society.They were~ as all other preachers of their time~ in the employ of the Cape Colony~ both served Cradock as ministers of religion.John Taylor was born on 5 June 1788 and died on 18 June 1860. [The International Genealogical Index produced by the Mormons (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints) recorded as follows: Taylor~ John## Father## Taylor. Perth~ Scone. Born 7 June 1788 He was the minister of the Dutch Reformed Church at Cradock from 1824 to 1860. Robert Barry Taylor~ an Englishman was born in 1810 and died in 1876 and the minister of the largely non-white Independent Church~ the Congregational Church~ from 1848 to 1876. (Of interest is Rev. RB Taylor's burial place~ which is beneath the pulpit of the church.) This genealogy covers the family history of John Taylor the Scot. Robert Taylor~ the Englishman will however receive his rightful recognition. SCONE~ SCOTLAND~ THE PLACE OF BIRTH Born in Scone~ Perthshire~ Scotland~ John Taylor had experienced the transformation of Old Scone. James Hunter~ ordained by the Presbytery of Strathbogie in May 1761~ came to Old Scone on 15 August 1782. On 26 November 1783 the seventh Viscount of Stormont petitioned the Presbytery of Perth: The Viscount~ having the intention of extending his policy around the House of Scone and with the parish church presently in disrepair and a hindrance to the said extension~ suggests that this parish church of Scone be demolished and a new church built on a proper place~ more convenient and commodious for the minister and the parishioners. In middle December the Presbytery met at the Manse of Scone. They found the proposal in every respect proper and convenient. The new building was complete by middle August 1786 and the elegant parish church which stood on the Moot Hill for al most 160 years~ was demolished~ except for the aisle which today contains the Stormont and Mansfield monuments. Seating were allocated to members of the congregation according to the rents they paid for houses and property - one foot of seating for every 8 Scots. Some seats remained seats to the Kirk Session for behove of the poor. James Hunter died on 14 March 1793 and was followed by John Wright on 26 September 1793 but died on the 6 December 1794. In November 1795 William Aitken was admitted to Scone. November 1803~ the Perth Presbytery recorded: His Lordship~ the Earl of Mansfield was desirous that the Scone village to be changed and the parish church moved to another part of the parish called Burnside~ lying in a populous district of the parish~ adjoining the great road between Perth and Cupar Angus. On 22 February 1804 the Presbytery met and accepted the proposal. The church~ built less than 20 years ago~ had been carefully dismantled. The stones were numbered and marked so that they could be re-assembled on the new site overlooking the Annaty Burn. It was the first building in New Scone. One addition was made to the old building. The bell which David~ first Viscount Stormont~ had presented to the church in 1624 had hung on a tree for 180 years. A belfry was added to the rebuilt church and there the bell hangs and is regularly rung to this day. It took some years to transport the whole village to the new site. THE ROUTE TO NEW DESTINIES John Taylor~ after completed his missionary studies in Gosport under the guidance of Rev. David Bogue~ was ordained in March 1816 in Chichester. Towards the end of October 1816~ together with seven other London Missionary Society missionaries~ including Robert Moffat (destined to achieve fame in Bechuanaland)~ Kitchingman~ Brownlee and Evans left the coast of England~ on board the Alacrity and sailed for South Africa. In the words of the Secretary of the LMS These missio
