Re: Jacob Dickson and Nicholas Templeton
There are possibly 3 more children, James born 20 Jan 1855 Mouswald, another David in 1857 who died 1 Dec 1857 in Lockerbie and George born 1859 and died 20 May 1862 Dumfries.
Jacob was the son of David Dickson (1768-1829) and Janet Beattie (1779-1876), David in turn was the son of John Jacob Dickson (c1734-1798) and Jean Johnston (c1738-1777). In turn, John Jacob was the son of John Dickson (c1703-1760) and Mary Kent (c1702-1755). John was the son of Robert Dickson (c1663-1726).
Jacob was an apprentice to John Fell, Joiner, at Woodside in the 1841 census. My 2G Grandfather, also named Jacob, was born in 1823 as well and lived at Woodside in 1841, where my family were blacksmiths. John fell was married to an aunt of my Jacob.
I haven't worked out where the Abraham Dickson mentioned comes from yet as I have no info on a marriage.

The only likely candidate to date is George Kerr, elder much respected who died of a fever aged 65 yrs at Under Butterthwat on May11 1812 Dalton in the OPR deaths and burials

Just thought you would like to know that the symbols on the back of the headstone are probably a skull with a bone underneath. The bone usually is a femur but sometimes is just a representation of a bone, such as a cartoonist draws. Some are crossed like a Jolly Roger or located either side of the skull. Sometimes only one is shown. The skull itself can be in many forms - side on, full on or at any odd angle. Some has only eyes with no nose, some have no bottom jaw or some have a full set of two rows of teeth. The skull and bone represent the 'death's head' and is one of the oldest symbols of death. On some stones there are carved the same number of skulls for the people commemorated.
The skull and bone appear to be what you have on the reverse side of the gravestone. Hope this helps.
