Brianna is the daughter of Claire a time traveler and can travel. Roger is the descendant of Geillis Duncan who is a time traveler and can travel.

Jemmy is able to hear the gem stones. Gem stones which are typically warm to travelers appear hot to him suggesting is ability is stronger. This makes it likely he is the product of two travelers: Brianna and Roger.

Otter Tooth aka Robert Singer

The Mohawk tell Jamie, Claire and Ian about Otter Tooth (the previous owner of Claire’s stone). He appeared to know the future. He told the Mohawk of the future. He tried to convince them to war on the white man going so far as to scalp some nearby. He angered the elders who sent him away but he was always nearby ranting and raving. They thought him possessed and chased him for days until they caught up to him and killed him. They continued to hear his words even after taking his head and so buried his head far away, under a tree where Claire eventually found his skull and satchel with the opal inside.

Young Ian gives Claire and Jamie Otter Tooth or Robert Springer’s journal. In Springer’s journal he mentions others: Rains Hard, Strong Walker, Six Turtles and Talks with Spirits. It seems Otter Tooth went back too far.

Jeremiah “Jemmy” MacKenzie

Jeremiah “Jemmy” MacKenzie is the son of Brianna and Roger MacKenzie, though believed to be the biological son of Brianna’s rapist Stephen Bonnet.

Jemmy is drawn to gemstones because of a noise they make. However, when playing with Claire’s opal (Otter Tooth’s); he claims it is hot. Brianna, Roger, and Claire feel it’s warmth though Ian and Jamie do not. While holding the stone it breaks apart causing a sound much like the standing stones which only travelers can hear.

Brianna believes Jem must be Roger’s child and he has the time traveling gene from both his parents for it to be so strong as to break a gemstone.
