I don't want to add anything more confusing to this long running thread but I have a couple of  Estate Particulars of the Estate of Kelton. One is dated 1794 and the other 1813. The earlier one  says belonging to Gibson Stott Esq., and the latter one, which is termed a Rental, was made by Thomas Goldie of Dumfries, factor for Watson and Ebenezer Stott.(which amounted to £591.12.8d). This latter one gives 43 names  (no Smiths) and their rentals.
The locations are Rhonehouse Croft and Rhonehouse for the majority of tenants and what appears to be Lodge and Brownyhill , Hightae and Furbarkhill with Little Hightae, Part of Mains, Thuave and Danock Isles, Standingstone, Bank of  Kilnhouse, Afflecksfield, and Field on the bank.

The 1813 item mainly lists farms with their acreages, tenants and crops.
The only Smith reference I have is attached.

Hi! Back in 2010 you refer to two documents in your possession, one dated 1794 and the other 1813.
The latter being described as a Rental and lists locations including Afflecksfield.
In a Register of Births for Ruthwell parish a Betty Affleck is born "in Afflecksfield" 28 Jul. 1771 and baptised 29 Jul. at Ruthwell, not too far from the adjoining parish. Is it possible for you to post a copy of that document and any help regarding Afflecksfield location, or should I be able to get same from Dum&Gal Archives.
Regards
Maffo
