Hi Jeanette I have a few notes from Kirkpatrick-Durham that may help (or confuse )your search. John Affleck from Garmartin was a church elder in 1797 Robert Affleck "in Number One" Chipperkyle was an elder in 1804 Alexander McLure from Kirklandhill was an elder in 1836 No mention of Gilston - but mention is made of a John Gelston being an elder in 1774. Perhaps a search on Gelston might produce some results. Some Locke and McGeorge families are also mentioned if you think they might help.
