None of those names is familiar to me, but the interesting thing is that your James and mine seemed to have been alive at the same time, which means maybe they were cousins (or less likely, brothers).  Let me know if you find a connection to my Mary and I will do the same.

Tab11, I guess you have probably already know that the meaning of Halkerstone is the place where the king's hawk handlers lived.  Apparently only royalty were permitted to hunt with hawks.  Flourgurl

Hi Flourgurl,

Thanks for the explanation about the Halkerstone name - v. interesting.  I
have been intrigued by the family for many years.

Could you email me at (*) so we can keep in touch if there
are any new developments.

Best Wishes

Tab11 don't know if you could see it but in your last post the moderator blanked out your private email address.  If you figure out how we can correspond privately I'd be glad to do so.

Hi again Flourgirl.
If either of you click on the other's name above the avatar, you can then scroll down to "Send this RootsChatter a personal message."

There you can correspond privately or exchange email addresses.
