Agnes McCreath was born at Pinmore in 1766, the third child of Thomas and Mary McCreath in Blairstoun.  She married Peter McColm, also of farming stock.

In Keith Percy’s ‘The McCreaths from Pinmore’ (First Edition, 2004) four offspring are identified – John, Mary, William and Agnes (Agness).

Following contact with Tom Brown of Belfast and further examination of the OPR a further three children were unearthed – Thomas, James and Margaret.  The earlier omission resulted in part from a recording error in the Maybole Baptismal Register, both Thomas and James being wrongly recorded as ‘McCallum’.

Accordingly, Agnes and Peter are believed to have had 7  children:

John McColm      1795 – 1888 Farmer at Crawfordton, Tarbolton.

Thomas McColm 1797 – 1841 Married. Known issue

James McColm    1799 – c.1889 Married. Known issue  (to check)

Mary McColm     c.1797 – 1882  Single (d.o.b. 1841 & 1851 Census 1803 & 1799; death cert. 1797)

William McColm     1804 – ???? No information

Agnes McColm        1805 – 1886 Single

Margaret McColm  c.1806 – 1883 Married. Known issue (to check)
