More patriarch page tweaks

Added another twig or two to the the Stitchel/Maxton family of James and Christian (JERDAN) FAIRBAIRN after one of those serendipitous occurrences - research on the Stow family of James and Maitland (BIRD), and stumbling across the family of Robert and Jane (GRAY) in New York with daughter Maitland (or Matilda).
Joining up the dots, particularly after finding that a Charles was a witness to Robert and Jane's Kelso marriage in 1837, leads me to place James as son of James and Christian.
Not looking good for dna candidates at the moment however.

25th: Eckford/Kelso lineage match

We have a new exact 37/37 match - between Eckford(F-27) and (F-35), which is believed to show a connection between the trees of the Robert who married Elizabeth YOUNG, and James married to Christian JERDAN, although F-35's link to this lineage has yet to be confirmed.
At 37/37 FT DNA's time predictor says a common ancestor probabilities are: 83% within 4 generations, 93% within 6.
However, given the variations that can occur in the 38-67 marker panel, it would be wise to see those results, particularly as cdyb is a faster mutating marker and we have two, assumed separate, branches within "clump 2" with cdyb=37.
The James & Christian (JERDAN) tree has a number of Roberts, as do most of the trees!

Blog labels:
These are in the process of being changed to show forename only for FAIRBAIRNs and surname only for others (in capitals). Should make the cloud of labels a bit less dense.
