Hi Downeaster,
The following MIs from Ruthwell may be of some interest to you.
Family names -  LANDELLS & MURRAY are mentioned as are the farm names HOWCREEK & MIDTOWN
Also the Parish of Ruthwell being close to Cummertrees and Mouswald, and Torthorwald adjoins Mouswald, together add to the relevance.
Cheers,
Sy
