Hi Jenny Very interesting post Re "uttering of base coin at Haddington". The David KINGHORN referred to is my wif'e's gt gt grandfather who emigrated with his family including the daughter Marion KINGHORN (my wife's gt grandmother) also mentioned, to Melbourne, Victoria in 1857. He was a carpenter who settled at Byaduk, south-west Victoria where he is burried.
