Have you tried Search Trees on this site?

Enter James Blackwood born 1739, +/- 5 years and then make contact with members who have him in their trees to see if you have a connection.

Good luck

Thanks for your contact. I found the same information on Familysearch site but this is much appreciated by me as a newcomer to the "Community" approach for information.I have also recently used "Search Trees" header , another very useful area, thank you for this suggestion too.
Best wishes,
Joseph Blackwood. :-)

Hello Ann of GG,
Many thanks for all this information.As a Blackwood I need to check any of these for connections to my tree but having visited Tullibole Castle in this area of Scotland and seen many graves in the derelict graveyard with the Blackwood name amongst others connected with them (spouses etc.)
it is very encouraging.
Hope I can be of similar service to yourself in the future.
Best wishes,
Joseph. :-D
