Research notes

• The children of Samuel (Samwell, Samwill) Graham and Margaret Wilson except for Matthew, were evidently christened twice, once in Dryfesdale, then again a few days later in either Applegarth or St, Mungo. Graham-17201 13:43, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
• Several of the children were christened on the same date in Dryfesdale and in St, Mungo, More likely, they were christened at birth in their home at Dryfesdale, then on the following Sunday in St. Mungo as the locations are 136 km apart, a 27 hr. walk. Graham-17201 13:39, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
