  Notes	John Haig, John Jameson's father in law, was a was a tobacconist in Alloa. His children began the famous Scotch whisky manufacturing company, Haig Whisky, with the help from his wife's family the Steins, sometime in the early 1800's. His wife was Margaret Stein and it was through her/their eldest son John, who eventually became General Manager for her father John Stein at his Kennetpans distillery in nearby Clackmann. In what eventually became the Haig Whiskey Company. His Stein ancestors had established a distillery at Kennetpans around the 1720s when it was set up by Andrew Stein. By 1733, Kennetpans was at one time, the largest distillery in the country, run by Andrew?s son John. It was Stein's son John that branched out into the Irish market which eventually employed John Jameson's eldest son John. Stein himself was not content with a purely Scottish business so in 1780 branched out into Ireland where he established the Bow Street Distillery in Dublin. It was also about this time that the Stein's began several difficult financial problems allowing John Sr. to invest heavily in the Irish Stein distillery business and the Haig's in their Scottish counterparts. John (the son) was primarily responsible for this Dublin distillery and eventually took over that business about 1805 when it became the John Jameson and Sons Irish Whiskey Company. [1]
