Sorry but need to correct one BOYD name. Given name is NINIAN not Minian from that list. The others are correct. Colin Brooks The 1718 Project

Sorry, but this book says Minian. I did not make a mistake. Due to the shortage of typewriters <grin>, the originals are handwritten and subject to interpretation. You'll have to talk to Mitchell or review the original to determine why it is transcribed in this book by Mitchell. Probably because to his trained eye, it looked like an M. The modern eye would like to read it as Ninian. But most likely we need to 'go' with the educated, trained eye when doing transcriptions. In the case of looking up transcriptions, my case, one does not interpret. One types exactly what is there. If one disagrees, one adds a comment in brackets. Otherwise one gets a bad mark in Research 101 class.
