To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected] Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" THANKS MEG, I LAST CONTACTED VICTOR IN 1998, THAT COULD BE HIM IN 2006  APART FROM HIS WIFE ROBERTA I DON'T KNOW THE REST OF HIS FAMILY. I  KNOW HE DID RESEARCH IN SALT LAKE CITY BUT DON'T KNOW IF HE HAD a permanent home  there. There would be a lot of Hairstons in Tulsa OK as they came on the "Cherokee trail of tears to Oklahoma." The last contact I had was from the D & G FHS journal 32 July 1998  where Victor writes Member no 1989 Mr Victor E.Hairston, 4348 E.72 pl., Tulsa.Oklahoma 74136 USA. Hairstanes. Mathew Hairstanes listed as a prisoner, battle of  Preston,Lancs. England.1715.Hairstanis  Descendants of Cuthbert Hairstanis  of Over Penfillane, who were in Kirkcudbright in 1670,and in1691 in  keir,Glencairn, Dunscore,Penpoint and Holywood.Dumfries. Jimmy McPherson ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Thu, 16 Jun 2011 13:13:15 -0700 From: "Maisie Egger" <[email protected]> Subject: [DUMFRIES-GALLOWAY] Fw: Obituary for Thomas Clint 1731-1796     Carlingwark To: <[email protected]> Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain;    charset="iso-8859-1" Diana and Sandy in the Wigtownshire list found a short obituary notice for THOMAS CLINT, born 1731 and died 8 Dec. 1796, Carlingwark, Kelton, KKB. What I am looking for, however, is a much longer, very nice obituary for this Thomas Clint about his character, personality, etc., with one word, probity, sticking in my mind.  Unfortunately, only  his namesake Thomas Clint, 1769 - 1790, Carlingwark was named, but who predeceased Thomas Clint, sr. I believe he had two sons and a daughter, but none was named. I have hunted everywhere for this fine obituary for Thomas Clint, but I can't find it.  It's probably lost in one of the computers that have gone belly-up over the years. If anyone can find it for me, I'd be most appreciative.
