2. Family Trees.
John Hope and Agnes Clark had five daughters but only one son - James. James married Grizell (Grace) Somerville and had seven children in West Calder, West Lothian. I think that Grace had a profound influence on the fortunes of the family as the name of Grace and Somerville pervade the family trees of her descendants.
