  • Notes  Married:
    • Per Sue Merrifield - no corroborating evidence that this is the correct couple although the names are sufficient unusual for it to be a strong coincidence.

      Barr is a long way from New Cumnock where Hugh was born, but not too far from Dailly, which is where a Sara McIlwraith was christened on 15 nov 1731 (daughter of William McIlwraith)

      The FamilySearch and Ancestry records confirms the event, albeit with different spellings
