The said George married an Agnes GRAHAM Their daughter BARBARA JOHNSTONE married LANCELOT CARLISLE in Dumfries on 24 January 1648 I am also descended from a Johnstone family ! Alison in Calgary

Hi Alison: I do not know if it would help but I have the Monument Inscriptions for Middlebie Parish which includes Carruthers, Middlebie Church and Pennersaughs Burial Grounds. There are many Johnston(e), Carlyle, Graham(e) buried there: Johnston(e) 49 Carlyle 43 Graham(e) 23 There is also a mention of an Agnes Graham widow of William Bell of Blankethouse in the 1631 Sasines. If you think any of these would help I will send them as attachments to a message. By the way, deCaen is a rather interesting name, being the name of the town where William the Conqueror had his home (castle). I was there a year ago.
