    Family 2 Watson, Isabel
    Notes 
    • No marriage record was located for this couple in the Campbeltown OPRs.

      In the duplicate OPRs (11 series), a child named John was baptized to a couple named John Longwill and Jane Watt [507 11/50]. It's possible that this was a transcription error for Isabel. However, due to the fact that residences weren't recorded at this time, there is currently not enough evidence to attribute this child to this family.

  • Notes 
    • In 1692, James Langwill was a Lowland fencible man in Bellivean, John Langwill was a Lowland fencible man in Strath, and William and Patrick Langwill were Lowland fencible men in Belloch.

      "John and Margaret Mitchell in Straw, 1671; John and Isobel Watson in Straw, 1676." - KSC p. 175.

      John Langwill and Margaret Mitchell baptized the following children:
      Margaret - 1671
      Mary - 1673

      John Langwill and Isobel Watson/Watt baptized the following children:
      John - 1679
      Alexander - 1681
      Samuel - 1683
      John - 1688
      Robert - 1689
      Peter - 1693
      Martha - 1695

      Since the location is the same, it's likely that these two individuals were the same person.
