There's a baker called Jasper A. according to Rutherfor's guide. I've not done any work on him yet. There's Hugh A. and his wife isabella A. (ex England). Their 3 children (Alexander, 1830; Margaret, 1834; Jean, 1841) were all bap. in Hutton. Lesley Robertson ******************************************************************** Dr Lesley A.
