Jacobites
 

Dad has a Scottish branch that I look at now and then. I am stuck on one couple and was googling to see if I could find anything.

James Russell was Bailie at Dunblane in the 1700s.

I've just found a book that said Mrs Russell, wife of the Bailie, gave a purse of gold sovereigns to Bonnie Prince Charlie.

This isn't conclusive but it looks like the family, or at least James' wife, was a Jacobite or hedging their bets.
