His death certificate in 1862 gives his parents as William Blackwood (Bleacher) and Sarah MacDonald (both deceased).

There are two possibilities as to which William Blackwood might be his father. "Old William" born about 1751 who was married to Agnes (Janet) White. We do not know when Agnes died. The other possibility is William Blackwood, the son of William and Agnes, born 1786, and who married Helen Adam in 1815 at Strathblane.
