Robert Runciman (m. Janet Sinclair)1
(say 1685 - bet. 1728 - 1781)
Intro
It has been suggested that the Robert married to Janet Sinclair and Katherine Bebgie is the 1703 baptism of a Robert son of Andrew Runciman and Margaret Bartram. Even though this is a baptism, and not a birth, the previous baptism for this couple was in 1696, which implies Robert would have been born between 1697 and 1703. The earliest of these dates would still only make him 16 when his first son was born, so the id is doubtful.2The two Robert families, one with children by Janet Sinclair from 1713 (Dirleton) to 1720 (Prestonpans), the other with children to Katharine Begbie are believed to be one and the same Robert, Janet having presumably died in childbirth, or shortly thereafter.
The timeline is:
Mar 1720 a son Thomas is born in Prestonpans, father Robert is a gardner, and a witness to the baptism is one James Begbie, weaver.
Nov 1720 a Robert of Prestonpans marries a Katharine Begbie in Pencaitland
Feb 1722 a son Richard is born in Prestonpans to this latter couple, father Robert a gardiner, witnesses include a James Begbie weaver.2
