Hi Frances, thanks for looking and noticing the blaringly obvious errors. You are right, he can't have been born in 1719. I mustn't have corrected that "abt" date when I found earlier children by a previous marriage.

I can't see the will for Mary CURGHER d 1740. Was it Kirk German?

I got John's parents from the Millenium file. No idea where they got the information, and I haven't been able to confirm it.
