Watchman Surname

Classification: Query
Surnames: WATCHMAN, SPOWART
The earliest history (1500 and 1600s) of our name originates in the Culross, Torryburn, Carnock and Dunfermline areas of Fife. The Watchman families were strongly tied to the coal mining up to the early 1900s. Any help on these family names would be appreciated. My direct linw traces back to James Watchman (b:?) and Bessie Spowart (b: 1695)who were married 22 April 1720 in Torryburn, Fife, Scotland.
