"...there is no legal proof connecting the Gilbert Grierson of the Charters with MacGregor ancestry.  Granting that the required link is missing, yet most Highlanders will accept the tradition."

"...the theory of a Grierson and MacGregor link has been refuted by modern historians...".

Gilbert Grierson of Lag was found here in the Peerage.

Grandma Katie's Ancestors And DNA

Based upon DNA submitted by my brother at Family Tree DNA and a fortunate match with Grandma Katie's nephew's daughter (through Pearl Johnson, Grandma Katie's sister, and Robert Logan, Pearl's son), I was able to select persons who matched both my brother and Pearl's granddaughter, and make the assumption that those persons had a mutual ancestor(s) somewhere in Grandma Katie's family tree (as opposed to the Powers (paternal) tree or the Garrett (my maternal grandfather's) family tree).

This family history does not mention that Lawrence Richardson was married to Ann (Taylor) Greer. Perhaps there was a Lawrence Richardson in an older (or younger) generation.
