James Paton (bishop)

He is known to have had four children, including Archibald Paton, who served in Dunkeld Cathedral during his father's episcopate. His descendants stayed in Muckhart until 1760 when James and Andrew Paton left to live in Alloa, working as weavers and dyers. James' son John Paton (1768-1848) established the successful Kincraig cotton thread mill, which spawned Paton's cotton company. The later descendants included the eminent Forrester-Paton family which included Ernest Forrester Paton, Colin Forrester-Paton and Catherine Forrester Paton. ==References==
