"Feb^r. 2 1704
Alexander Mowatt & Barbara Turner had a S. born Feb^r 1^st baptised Alexander the second of Feb^r Wit: John Clerk & John Wedderburn"

Note:

It is possible that John Clerk may have been related to the Mowat family, then or later. The National Records of Scotland have a record that may suggest this:

"23 Sep 1725
Instrument of Sasine in favour of Mary Mowat, residenter in Prestonpans, relict of the deceased John Clerk, smith there, in subjects in Prestonpans, lying in the parish thereof and constabulary of Haddington. Recorded in the Particular Register of Sasines at Edinburgh 10 Nov 1725."
