Hello listers, I've come up with a REAL Howie wrinkle. The understanding I have had is that John Howie who wrote THE SCOTS WORTHIES was the only son of the first marriage of John Howie of Lochgoin to Martha Thomson, and that after her death his father married Janet Meikle, and then Mary Borland. BUT, I noticed in the Fenwick burial list that "Jannet Muckle" wife of John Howie of Lochgoin died in 1732, and Martha Thomson died in 1742! So there's something not right it seems. I'm wondering if John Howie was born in 1732 instead of 1735? And then the names of the 2 wives got muddled? Has anybody else noted this and sorted it out? Ken Cuthbertson Albuquerque, NM
