Gilbert,
It still is a farm. I lived there when I was a kid back in the 1960's. My father was shepherd there from about 1962 to 1966.
The farmer at the time was Mr Roly? Harker. He was a keen foxhunter and Master of the Jedforest Hunt.

The link below should take you to a google map showing the location

Roxburghshire / Re: DAVIDSON & LECK, Sprouston & Lempitlaw 17/1800s

I don't know if this takes you much further with your Davidson/Leck investigation, but one of my ancestors was:
Agnes HALLIWELL
b 13 Jun 1764 Sprouston d unknown
m John MANDERSON c1790

Her parents were:
James HALLIWELL and Agnes TURNBLE (or Turnbull)

I suspect that she may have been Isobell Halliwell's sister, the dates seem right and Halliwell is not a common name especially in Roxburghshire.
