These were located in Whitburn and Muirkirk. Both of these are families of a William Russel and Margaret [Douglass and Hamilton]. Slamannan has shown up in marriages with Clackmannan and Stirlingshire fairly often, as they are more or less adjacent counties. The other two are seldom if ever seen in such records.
