Sharon, I'm not yet positive where the Black Bull Inn was. The Garrel Mill and the Garrel millhouse are directly across the street from each other in Kilsythe. Archibald's journal indicates that his father "kept a grocery store and tavern, the Black Bull Inn" early in his married life. The first three children in the family were born in Lanark, and I've located more than one Black Bull Inn. If I am able to determine which one was kept by Robert, I'll certainly blog about it! Thanks for your interest.
Family history has always been a big part of my life, and I have been researching for more years than I care to admit. I am an Accredited Genealogist® specializing in Midwest U.S. research. My historical research has focused on early LDS pioneers, especially the Mormon settlement of Garden Grove, Iowa.
It worked! SO cool!
ReplyDeleteDid you ever find the Black Bull Inn? Was that the name of the tavern across from the mill? Thanks,
