5 James JUSTICE c1745?->1790

 

 

m Mary LENNOX 1770

 

 

 

 

 

James was a blacksmith at Newhouse of Huntingtour (Huntingtower) in the parish of Tibbermore.  There is a farm of that name today, about 3 miles from Perth.  He was probably born about 1740 but his origin is unknown for certain; the best present guess is that he was born in Scone, near Perth, the son of Robert & Isobel JUSTICE.

 

He married Mary LENNOX, at Tibbermore in 1770.  She was from Trinity Gask, a village about 5 miles away.  James & Mary baptised ten children at Tibbermore between 1771 and 1791, when their address remained as Newhouse of Huntingtour.  At least three of these probably died young, as their names were used for later born children.

 

No records of the death or burial of James or Mary have been found.

BIRTH

 

From m in 1770, James probably born about 1740/1750.  The only possible James in the OPR are:

 

C  7Oct1732 s John                      at Murroes, Angus

C  9Dec1735 s Alexr & Helen MITCHALL    at Dundee

b 22Nov1735 s William & Elizabeth SCOT  at Edinburgh

C 26Jun1737 s Alexander & Jean LAWSON   at Kilrenny, Fife

C 17Jun1753 s James & Ann SIBBIE        at Auchtermuchty, Fife

C 24Mar1754 s John & Agnes DAVIDSON     at Kilconquhar, Fife

C 24Feb1754 s James & Elizabeth GILMOUR at Edinburgh

 

The three in Fife are nearest to Tibbermore but the Auchtermuchty James is probably the James who later married Anne FAITHFUL and baptised two children at Auchtermuchty; the Kilrenny James is probably the James who married Margaret LAWSON in 1762 at Kilrenny.  According to Scottish naming pattern, James' father should be John.  John & Agnes of Kilconquhar baptised Agnes and William at Ceres and John, Helen & James at Kilconquhar but the absence of the names Agnes and William from the Tibbermore family is not promising; moreover this James would have been only 16 if married in 1770

 

Janet JUSTICE & John ROBERTSON of Rogorton m 20Dec1773 at Tibbermore which suggests Janet may be a sister of James but no children of Janet & John's marriage were found.

 

There are two contemporary Perth families whose eldest son was also named John, as with James and Mary: David & Elizabeth CAMERON, William & Helen IMRIE, so these are possible brothers of James.    John JUSTICE and Grisel MILLAR m at Tibbermore in 1747 and baptised William 1748, John 1750, Janet 1753 and Mary 1755 all at Perth; this provides the William (m IMRIE) and Janet (m ROBERTSON) and there is room for James c1751

 

The parents of James' wife Mary LENOX were named John and Catharine, so James and Mary's first and fifth children may well have been named after Mary's parents.  In this event, the names of the 2nd and 4th children, Robert and Isabel, may be named after James' parents.  It is very interesting therefore that Robert JUSTICE & Isobel COUPER m26Sep1747 at Scone, Perth quite close to Tibbermore.  Robert and Isabel baptised Isabel 1748, Elizabeth 1753, Elspet 1756, William 1759, Anne 1764 all at Scone; Robert may have baptised William 1743 and John 1745 by a previous marriage.  There is room for a James about 1750 and these must be present favourites for the ancestry of James.  A closer look at Scone records may help.

 

MARRIAGE

 

The death certificate of David JUSTICE-4, the bleacher/calico printer, identifies his parents as James JUSTICE, blacksmith, and Mary LENNOX and the census gives his birthplace as Tibbermore.  David's baptism at Tibbermore is preceded by the following marriage:

 

m 4Nov1770 James JUSTICE otp & Mary LENOX of Trinity Gask proclaimed 21,28,4Nov

it is assumed that Kohn, James and David died young as the names were used for later children

 

DEATH

 

no JUSTICE burials were found at Tibbermore between Oct1783 to and 1837;  no suitable MI found in index of Perthshire MI

 

their two youngest children both moved to Glasgow around 1825, was this after the death of their parents, or did their parents move with them?
