Jane McAdam Kennedy was born on 7th December 1844 and married a Robert McKinnon. Again I'm not sure how many families they had but they had at least one daughter Jane Gemmel McKinnon who married William Armstrong McCulloch in 1891 and who had a very large family of 15 one of whom was my grandfather. Sadly all 15 members of my grandfather's generation and their spouses are now deceased. Euan Terras.
My maiden name was McAdam and recently my grandson asked me what relation I was to John Loudon McAdam. I could only tell him the story I had been told which is, JL was a distant relation of my mine. JL lived on a farm in Hereford and there was a young girl (relation unknown) who had rickets and she found that when she travelled in a cart she would free email address list philippines hit potholes causing her a lot of pain so JL experimented with different substances to fill the holes with and came across the mixture we now know as tarmac. My grandson's question led me to visit your website and I was very interested to read about J.L's life as Ayr and Cockenzie where my great great grandfather William was born in 1775 are not far apart. My great-grandfather Henry was born in Hereford in 1846. Family history gets distorted over the years, but I think there are facts that connect me to JL that I know will please my grandchildren, who, when taught at school about the track's history, will be able to say they are related to the man. Perhaps like me, they will also get into trouble for changing the spelling of the surname in their schoolbooks from MacAdam to its correct spelling of McAdam. Yours sincerely, Barbara Packham
Short circuits
Short circuits occur when a "hot" wire (an ungrounded wire, usually black or red) touches another hot wire or comes into contact with a neutral wire (a grounded wire, usually white). Shorts can also occur if a wire in the circuit breaks. The short-circuit path has lower resistance than the normal circuit path, allowing a large amount of current to flow through the short path, overheating the wires.
