The 2009 analysis of the 1695 Wigtonshire Hearth Tax List by Andrew Thomas Kerr at http://theses.gla.ac.uk/2786/01/2009KerrMPhil.pdf contains the following text;


"Paid of Sir Charles Hays list
Matthew Adair in (blank)
William Houstoun there
James Templetoun there
Thomas Gibson there
Andrew Widder there
Thomas McKeach there"

Anyone know who the parents were of the neighbors Matthew Adair and William Houston? Are these the Houstons of Cotreoch and/or the Adairs of Kinhilt?

Jim Houston
