John Jeffrey was the botanist that traveled to North America in 1850 to collect plant specimens of the exotic plants of the emerging continent. He was sent by the Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh. He eventually discovered the tree now known as the "Jeffrey Pine."
I am interested in tracing his roots. ScotlandsPeoples.gov.uk shows his birth as 14 November 1826, and his baptism in Clunie, Perthshire. His parents were John Jeffrey and Helen Ambrose. He had at least 3 siblings (James, b, 6 January 1829, Janet, b. 16 August 1831, and Elsabeth, b. 6 May 1835, all in Clunie, Perthshire).
I am wondering if anyone has any more information about John's ancestors, or if there has been a family tree submitted anywhere? Thanks SO much!
