     In Feb 1755 David Manson was living at Lynegar, Watten, CAI, SCT.4 He and Alexander Malcom at Watten, CAI, SCT, fr 1756 - 1758 were possibly related, ?cousins?

The p/copy of the entry is indistinct, but further up the page is a Jan 1766 entry, so I've assumed Feb 16th 1766 and that the entry reads: Feby 16 Donald Georgeson in Kirk had by his wife Esther Miller a child baptized called Esther Wit: David Manson and John Stephen.7,8
