Research Notes

1. Smith, in "The Parish of Strathblane and Its Inhabitants from Early Times : A Chapter in Lennox History "^[3] states that James and Agnes had "five sons and two daughters" but I have instead found sources for 4 sons and 3 daughters. He further states that the 4th son's name was William, and that he succeeded James as tenant in Cromlix. I find No sources to support a son named William. Graham-17201 20:25, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
2. There is another James Graham in Dunblane at this time, he had three daughters which are likely to be conflated with the children of James and Agnes: Margaret born 1731^[11], Elizabeth born 1735^[12], and Margaret born 1741^[13] In each case, the image of the original parish register gives the name of the father's residence, which, although difficult to make out, is clearly not Cromlix.
