Subject: RE: The Gypsie Laddies 500th Anniversary ??
Hello Steve,
             am ploughing my way through McKerlie to see if I can
   glean anything anent J.O.H. Have asked friends in that area if
   there are any traditions in the area.Also any place called
   Hazelgreen.
   A place called Taperbank is mentioned in one version this may
   prove harder to locate.
   Biggar is mentioned in two versions. This would be the town of
   Biggar which lies on the direct route from Gallowa to Edinburgh.
   Edinburgh, mentioned in three versions.The real landed gentry
   all had town houses in Edinburgh down to the 19th century.
   Joe.
