I have a "lost" Paton and this is a real long-shot, but please see if you can find anything on: Ann Paton, died after 1776. She was married to Peter (Patrick) Lawson, and had a son, Robert Lawson, born about 1776. I can't pin the family down to a location until about 1802, when a grandson was born in Alloa, Clackmannanshire. Since I don't know where they came from, perhaps you can help me rule out Perth (or, better yet, find her !!) Yours expectantly ......
