Anybody have some definitive answers about children of this couple? Because we have too many Davids up there, seems to me...

Hi there, Susie here, Co-Leader of the Scotland Project. I've edited the place name category Skye, Scotland as the categories are organised by parish. I've put it in the unknown Inverness-shire category because it will be flagged by the team as a priority to try to find the parish. Thanks all!

They are not on the list for the Snow Lowther. There was an alternate DOB of 1734

Scots often went to Ireland either banished from England or to escape or work for some lord. This profile and the decendants are in the correct order, at least untill better documentation becomes available. Eric
