In 1851, Agnes was a widow, and living in Monkton. She rode the post between Monkton and Troon. I think David was a grocer, but that is not totally confirmed. Their son John was first a banker for the coal mine, and then a railroad engineer. I can't find death records for either one, or a marriage record. Their children were: William, John, Elizabeth and Jane. Anything sound familiar? Thanks for writing! Suzie Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
