  !1) OPR Computer Files, LDS, 1995, lists the father of David, c. 17 Sep 1749 in Ormiston, East Lothian, Scotland as James Moffet, no mother listed. !2) OPR Computer Files, LDS, 1995 lists the c/o James Moffet & Jean Lawson as: Isobell, c. 19 Mar 1738, Humbie, East Lothian James, c. 19 Oct 1740, Humbie, " " Ann, c. 19 Dec 1742, Ormiston, " " (Moffat) William, c. 24 Feb 1745, Humbie, " " Janet, c. 12 Jul 1747, Ormiston, " " David, c. 17 Sep 1749, Ormiston, " " (Item #1 - no mother listed) James, c. 4 Feb 1753, Ormiston, " " (Moffat) !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. !3) OPR COMPUTER FILES, LDS, 1996, lists the 13 May 1737 marriage of James Moffet to Jean Lawson in Humbie, E. Lothian, Scotland. !3a) OPR, HUMBIE PARISH, EAST LOTHIAN, SCOTLAND, BIRTHS & MARRIAGES, 1732 - 1819, LDS Film #1067849, lists on 13 May 1737 James Moffet & Jean Lawson, both of this parish, gave up their names. !RESEARCH NOTES) OPR COMPUTER FILES, LDS, 1999, lists James Moffat, c. 13 Apr 1718, Stirling, Stirling, Scotland, s/o James Maffet & Anna Moor. - This info ties in this James with the naming pattern of the children of James Moffat & Jean Lawson. Their 1st male child was named James after the paternal grandfather & their 2nd female child named Ann after the paternal grandmother. While no other link to Stirling, Scotland exists that I am aware of at this moment, this is the only James in the record that fits. More work needs to be done on this.
