Notes

Note 1

!Notes: Merchant, Burgess of Edinburgh and Gild Brother.

Two possible birth records have been found, both in St. Cuthberts Parish in Edinburgh. The first has a Thomas being baptized by an Alexander Cleghorn and Helen Paterson in 1708. They had previously baptized a child by the same name in 1704. This type of naming usually indicates an infant death of the first child with the name. The second possibility was a Thomas baptizes by Richard Cleghorn and Christian Cleeland in 1705.
