Notes
Also recorded as having been in Kirkcudbright after being banished from the Dumfries synod area. She was listed in a porteuous roll of Oct. 1708 as sometime in the parish of Troquer but now in Rockhall. Another person of the same name was listed as being in Collin in the parish of Gothorald(?) at the same time? Possibly two different people, but I think not because Joyce found her in the Prebytery records that she was banished so she probably moved around a lot, and it is an uncommon name. The porteous roll also says she had been banished from the presbytery of Dumfries
