Hi Dorothy, I don't have what you seek, but wanted to check that you knew the burial place of Patrick's father, William? He was buried with his father, (also Patrick), in the Old Kirkyard at Wigtown. William being the Provost who was in Edinburgh and missed handing down a pardon to the 2 Wigtown martyrs. When he died a grudge was still held and the Burghers decide to forbid his burial in the kirkyard, employing guards to prevent this. A barrel of whisky given to the guards enabled his friends to sneak his body by night into the grave of his father. A crack extends across the table stone, which is said to have resulted from the haste in which William's body was entombed. Well, that's the story, and it does seem believable. Patrick being described as 'of Wigtown' may have referred to the county, rather than the parish or the Burgh. Perhaps your Patrick was not buried in any parish of Wigtownshire. Landowning gentry often spent lots of time elsewhere, so he may have died and was buried outside the county, possibly in England. Just a thought.
