Thanks for sending this info, but I'm afraid none of these Hendersons connects to my Hendersons. 

Would love a photo of the stone with Thomas Henderson & Agnes Barton if anyone is ever able to post that!

Thanks,
Heather

Thank you, everyone, for all this great information about the Hendersons! 

Would it be possible to get a photo of the grave of Thomas Henderson & Agnes Barton in Torthorwald?

Purplekat, can you give me more information about Ann Henderson?  Names & dates of children, grandchildren, etc? 

Since Thomas Henderson & Agnes Barton turned out to be in Torthorwald, maybe that's where I should be directly my inquiries.  There were a lot of Hendersons in that area, and I'm having difficulty sorting them out. 

So Francis Henderson & Mary Vivers (married 1777 Kirklandrigg, Dalton) were buried separately.  Mary with her daughter Sarah Hutchison.  Where is Francis Henderson buried?  That might give a bit more information about him.  A Francis Henderson was born 9 Feb 1735 in Annan, to Thomas Henderson & Bettie Thompson -- but is this the right Francis Henderson?  It makes him rather old at the time of his marriage.  But he did name his oldest son Thomas....

Thanks for any insight!

The link doesn't work for me, but I'd be really interested in seeing these.  I'm working on the family of Thomas Henderson (1779-1845), son of Francis Henderson & Mary Vivers.

Thanks!

I saw this couple mentioned and was wondering if anyone might have more information about them?  Their son Andrew Fortune married in Paisley in 1834.
I am wondering if there might be a connection to the family I am researching, John Paisley and Janet Leitch, married in Paisley in 1823.  They had 6 or 7 children, all born in Paisley in the 1820s and 1830s, but I cannot find birth records for these children.  Their son Andrew was born in Paisley 28 April 1831.  The family emigrated to Huntingdon, Quebec, Canada. 

Thanks, Gadget, I just finished having a look at scotlandspeople, but none of the James Johnstones seems right.  The only one even remotely possible is the "writer in Edinburgh" but even then, what was a gentleman farmer of Moffat doing in Edinburgh?   However, it might be worth pursuing.  Writer could be Writer to the Signet, I suppose, which was his father-in-law's occupation.
