Notes

Note: 1

John Strong presumably intended his share of Strong, Reid and Page to go to his son, but his son predeceased him and so his nephew Alexander Reid benefitted.

Note: 2

Ships acquired by Strong, Reid and Page. I guess the names reflect their involvement in the Spanish coastal trade - perhaps transporting Spanish iron ore to Glasgow and British manufactured goods on the return:
