Robert Nasmyth and James Nasmyth were identified as his brothers, one an advocate and the other a doctor in physick and both of Edinburgh, in the will of Thomas Nasmyth made in 1806 and proved in 1816. The estate passed to Mary Sarah Nasmyth, the widow of Thomas Nasmyth, as executor of her son Robert Nasmyth who predeceased her. |
