Schoolar

In 1787 John Carruthers of Howcleugh married Janet Schoolar of Lockerbie. They were my great great great grandparents as far as I can figure out.

Has anyone any information on who Janet Schoolar was?

Hi Marhar thanks for you time, I have the information on her husband and Family. Her daughter Janet was my ancestor but What I was wondering was why a name that doesn't sound at all schottish was there. Seems to me that Schoolar would be Schyler and what nationality is that?

[Polwarth]

Scoular is the more common Scottish spelling of the name!

Schuyler, so far as I know, is Dutch in origin.

Thanks Polwarth I wasn't sure where it originated.
