• Notes

  !1) OPR Computer Files, LDS, 1995, lists s/o James Moffet & Jean Lawson as William, c. 24 Feb 1745, Humbie, East Lothian, Scotland. !2a) OPR, HUMBIE PARISH, EAST LOTHIAN, SCOTLAND, BIRTHS & MARRIAGES, 1732 - 1819, LDS Film #1067849, lists the following baptisms: CHILD CHRISTENED FATHER MOTHER LOCATION WITNESS WITNESS Isobell 19 Mar 1738 James Moffet Jean Lawson in Blackhouse John Bleskie John Wilkeson James 19 Oct 1740 James Moffet Jean Lawson in Windmains David Lawson John Bleskie William 24 Feb 1745, James Moffet Jean Lawson in Peaston John Thomson David Shepherd !2b) OPR, ORMISTON PARISH, EAST LOTHIAN, SCOTLAND, BIRTHS, MARRIAGES & DEATHS, 1637 - 1819, LDS Film # , lists the following baptisms: CHILD CHRISTENED FATHER MOTHER LOCATION WITNESS WITNESS Ann 19 Dec 1742 James Moffat Jean Lawson in Peaston congregation (b. 14 Dec 1742) Janet 12 Jul 1747 James Moffet Jean Lawson in Peaston none listed David 17 Sep 1749 James Moffet none listed none listed none listed James 4 Feb 1754 James Moffet Jean Lawson in Peaston none listed !2c) NOTE; As Peaston appears in both Parish records, and is approximately equal distance, about 3 miles, from the churchs of Humbie and Ormiston Parishes, I have listed Peaston as the birth place of all children. It is apparent, however, that the family did move at least once as they reported their residence as "Blackhouse" in 1738 and in 1740 at a farm called "Windmains." Need to check the census or tax records to get an exact location on these two locations.
