Intro

     It is assumed that the Elisabeth RUNCHEMAN marrying Robert PATERSON, 1768, in Maxton, with the full approval of her father and family, is the sister of my x greats grandmother Margaret RUNCHAMAN who herself married in Maxton in 1771.
Although the Maxton OPRs are not effusive with detail, they do exist for the period and do not have any RUNCIMAN births obvious.
Wonder if Robert was considered a 'great catch', or John & family wanted rid of Elisabeth?5

BMDB data

     Elisabeth Runcheman was born cir. Sep 1744 at Earlston, BEW, SCT.2 She was baptized on 16 Sep 1744 at Earlston, BEW, SCT; (no mother's name given in index).2,3
     Elisabeth Runcheman married Robert Paterson on 20 Sep 1768 at Maxton Village, Par. of Maxton, ROX, SCT, "The Bride's Father declard all her relations and himself were well pleased with the Marriage and became caut. for his Daughter."1,4

E. & O. E. Some/most parish records are rather hard to read and names, places hard to interpret, particularly if you are unfamiliar with an area.
