Hi,
I was born in Scotland and am descended from the Malcolms of Poltalloch. My DNA shows that I have West African DNA, almost certainly Ghanain, which is where all the
Malcoms' 280 slaves originated.
I believe that one of the Malcolm sons, John returned to Argyll with 2 of his children by an unnamed slave,
George and Georgina , the children were, baptised in Hanover Jamaica in 1813 in his name, and described as "Quadroons" ie a 1/4 'white'.
John was a barrister and died in Argyll in 1830 aged 43 years.
I am not at all certain of this and would very much appreciate your information.
Cheers,
Eric
