NOTE: This tree is a "work in progress". Many of the notes are incomplete and some links will not work correctly, especially when inside a Scrapbook. I still have much data to add and apologise to those contributors whose information has not yet been added. My sincere thanks to all.I have tried to verify as much information as possible but errors may exist or conflict with other sources. Individuals with uncertain details have a (See Notes) label attached to their name.
Any photos will be found in the individual's Scrapbook. Click the "ScrapBook" link in the left menu for a list. These allow only a limited amount of text so I will be adding feature pages containing more detailed notes, photos and links. These will appear at the right of the Scrapbook links.

Notes from "Wise Men from the West" by Thomas Lionel Patton (2x great grandson)
Mary was a considerable heiress, but the will under which the property would have passed to her descendants was successfully contested in the Courts at Edinburgh in 1815. The family dwelt for many years at Clatto in Fifeshire and, being Scotch, was presumably quite respectable.
Rev. James Alexander Birch M.A.
James is buried at the parish church Middleham, Yorkshire, where he was rector until his death. The east window of the chapel has a memorial dedicated to him.
A school was also erected in his honour. The Birch Memorial School is a substantial stone building in the domestic Gothic style, with a square embattled tower in the centre, having an open bell turret rising from its south-west angle. The ground floor contains the master's residence, and the upper one is appropriated to school purposes.
The building was erected by the parishioners and others in memory of the Rev. James A. Birch, the late rector of Middleham, as an enduring monument of their esteem and affection, A.D. 1869. The total cost, exclusive of the site, which was given by the lord of the manor, was £600.
