If I stumble across Potterland or potterland, I'll let you know.  Again, what can I say?  You really helped me!  I had asked someone to check that graveyard back about 2002, someone who said they'd do look-ups, and they didn't mention any Drummonds.  The trouble with all of these Williams and Davids is that trying to look them up always gets me into a discussion of William Drummond of Hawthornden or other Williams or Davids who were a lot further up the social scale than my Drummonds appear to have been.  I assume they were from the same family who descended from the Hungarian family of Andras I, the King of Hungary some 800 or so years earlier, though I can't be sure of that.  I know that a lot of MacGregors assumed the name once they were pretty much outlawed in Scotland, so maybe mine came from a source similar to that.  Hopefully, I won't go to the grave without findout out.  Take care!  Or, as they Drummonds used to say, "Gang warily!"

Christeen, I accidentally deleted your last message but not before I got the location of where I could get the book you mentioned.  I'll contact them from here.  Much obliged, and not to sound like a broken record, but thanks, again.

Christeen, I received that book re: Annan's Old Burial Ground from you.  I'll be sending you a return letter shortly.  Thank you!  That was very nice of you to send that.

I know this is an old thread but does the Creighton line have any connection to Donegal and/or Gosforth just over the border in England?

cheers
