(1762 - )
Date this page was last edited=26 Jan 2014
Sophia Playfair was born in 1762. She was the daughter of John Playfair and Sophia Roger. Sophia Playfair was baptized on 17 January 1762.1

Sophia was considered by Margaret Troupe to be a candidate for the wife of Alexander Mitchell and mother of Catherine (Mitchell) Robertson. However, Charles Roger's 1872 manuscript states that this Sophia died young, which makes it likely that the other candidate, Sophia the daughter of John Playfair and Catherine Moncur, is the correct mother of Catherine (Mitchell) Robertson.2

This information about Sophia Playfair is from the histories of the Troup and Robertson families compiled in 2001 and 2003 by Margaret Elizabeth Troupe of Stockton-on-Tees, England, unless otherwise noted.
