I have a different Patrick Colquhoun his parents were Adam Colquhoun b. 1711 Old Kilpatrick, Dunbartonshire, Scotland and Isabel Colquhoun b. c. 1724 daughter of Patrick Colquhoun of Miltoun. I have come across a few of the Colquhoun's marring relatives. Patrick Colqutoun Jr. was first, lord provost and chief magistrate of the city Glasgow. moved to London and was responsible for the start of the Themes police. Found Patrick's biography on Ancestry. Dictionary of National Biography, Volumes 1-22 Oxford University Press, London, England . Patrick married his first cousin Janet Colquhoun, their fathers were half brothers.
