Additional Comments:
  From the will of Norman Urquhart lists John's children were living in Florida 
when his will was written mentions children of Catharine dau. of John Urquhart. 
Catharine b. 1807 GA was married to John Allen Williams in Mont. Co. 1826 by 
Rev. Norman Urquhart ordained minister. So the above statement Norman Urquhart 
ordained minister b. 1810 d. 1865 from the book Florida Flame lists his date of 
birth and date of death. I beleive this Norman above could have been 
Catharine's brother, cousin, nephew, but not her father. Her father John 
Urquhart b. 1770-80 (1830-40 Census Mont. Co.Al.)d. in Mont. Co. 1844 no will 
but sale of property in probate records.
