Barbara Spottiswoode, the only daughter of James Spottiswoode and Barbara Syme whom I have been able to trace, was married Tuesday, 20 October 1795, to John Syme, [Footnote: History of Writers to the Signet] W.S., of Cartmore, eldest son of David Syme of Cartmore, with issue, David Syme of Cartmore, advocate, Sheriff-Substitute of Kinross, who died in 1880, and James Syme, the late well-known Professor of Clinical Surgery in the University of Edinburgh. It will have been noticed that the Spottiswoodes and Symes had previously intermarried. [Footnote: I am Indebted to J. A. Harvie-Brown, Esq., of Dunipace, and Andrew Forrester, Esq., W.S., Edinburgh, for notes on the Spottiswoodes of Dunipace.]
