  Research Notes:

DATE OF MARRIAGE

The year of this couple's marriage seems inappropriate given the date of the husband's baptism. However the baptism record does not state how old he was when he was baptized. He may have been born much earlier. ¹

William married someone Barbara WATT. (Barbara WATT was born about 1820.)
