Thanks Jean, That gave me lots more information to play with. It is strange to me that David Laing married Elizabeth Stevenson. I have (at a later date) an Elizabeth Stevenson with a sister Jean who married into my Alexander Baptie family (Elizabeth Laing's second husband). I have always wondered how the two met as he was from the Newton area and she was from Berwickshire. Possibility of family connection there.!! gretchen **************The year's hottest artists on the red carpet at the Grammy Awards. Go to AOL Music.
