Research Notes

PARENTS UNKNOWN: There is no potential baptism recorded for John Paterson in Clackmannan, and there is no way of knowing whether he could be one of the few John Patersons baptized elsewhere in Scotland. Considering how old the baptism record would be, there is a strong possibility that there is no surviving baptism record for him. Therefore we don't know his age or his parents.

There is a potential additional child of John and Christian's:

• Robert Patersone, baptized 6 Jul 1623 in Alloa, son of Andro Patersone and Christian Harrower^[7]

The father's name may have been recorded as Andro instead of John in error. There are no other baptisms recorded for an Andro Patersone and Christian Harrower, or a marriage record found for this couple. Fremmerlid-1 00:09, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
