Shirley Walsh has been digging in an 1835 publication titled "The History of the Sufferings of the Church of Scotland, etc" by Robert Wodrow and Robert Burns. It is available on Google Books at http://books.google.com/books?vid=OCLC67468590&id=j0YRAAAAIAAJ&dq=the+History+of+the+Sufferings+of+the+Church+of+Scotland . Page 22 lists the Wigtownshire citizens who were outlawed on 5 May 1684 by proclamation of Charles II for allegiance to Presbyterianism. Most of the people on this list do not seem to appear on the 1684 parish lists (http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~leighann/1684/intro.html), so this list improves our understanding of who was living in Wigtownshire back then. I have marked those who appear on both lists with an asterisk (*). I've also added some explanatory notes...and guesses...in brackets.

Hello, Whilst digging about for some passenger lists, I found the following; http://khuish.tripod.com/ships/henfran.htm It's not Wigtownshire, but Leith. It gives a passenger list of those Covenenters who were 'banished' to the New World. The 'testamony' that they signed on leaving is moving in its defiance.
