"....my connection. Working backward:
My father is JOHN DAVID LOCKHART (b. 11.11.34) His father was:
GLADWIN BORDEN (b. 4.29.06 d. 5.15.76) His father was:
DAVID HENRY PERRY LOCKHART (b. March 1877 d. 1955) His father was:
JAMES EDWARD (b. circa 1832 d. 8.4.1913) His father was:
CAPTAIN JAMES (b. 2.12.1791 d. March 1858) His father was:
DAVID LOCKHART (married to Mercy Fuller). He was born circa 1760 and died July 1827.
His father was:
JAMES LOCKHART born around 1700 and died 1789. He married Rebecca around 1720.
They settled in Horton Township, Nova Scotia, Canada circa 1762. (Probably from Northern Ireland.)
Captain James had an older brother John (born 11.22.1788). John had a son, John Alexander. He had a son, BENJAMIN -- who is listed in your geneaology. So, the way I figure it, BEN's grandfather (John) and my great great great grandfather (James) were brothers.
