Ministers at Troqueer
« on: Friday 10 February 06 16:12 GMT (UK) »
My wife has ancestors (according to her grandfather's family tree) from Troqueer.  Rev Francis Lawson, we understand, was the minister at Troqueer Kirk around 1800 and William Pagan was a "heritor" around the same time.  We've searched online records and as yet have drawn a blank.  The name "Lawson" has been used as a male middle name for several generations of my wife's family, so he must have made a big impression at the time.

Anyone out there able to throw any light on this, or point me in the direction of documents I should be looking at?

Hi brummyboy,

Can't help you with your querry - it is new information to me about the Rev Francis Lawson - but I have a few "Lawson" middle names down on my McBurnie line from Troqueer - I presumed that as one of them married a Lawson earlier that was the reason.

You have got me thinking now  (and that could be dangerous!! Grin)

Cheers

Keith

P.S. I would send you to look at my website - but all Rootchat websites are down at the moment!!

Thanks Audrey - please don't you put the McBurnie name into the search engine - you might not recover from the habits of my (very distant - honest!!) ancestors

Cheers
