I don't know who's more confused. You, or me. <g> I have this info on Charles Middleton: Charles Middleton was born in Banff in 1789. Exact birthplace is shown on the 1851 Maidstone, Kent census. I have a bio from the Dictionary of National Biography on his son, Frederick Dobson Middleton, that says his father, Charles, was born in Moray, but no other specifics were given, so I presumed Banff is, or was in Moray at the time of Charles' birth.
