     James Manson was born cir. Dec 1729 at Scouthill, Watten, CAI, SCT.2 He was christened on 24 Dec 1729 in the Par. of Watten, CAI, SCT; s/o James, no mother's name listed on igi. OPR entry reads: 1729, Dec 24: James Manson, Scouthill/Scowthell, had a child baptised called James Wit: William Sandison, Graystones, William Watter, Bridgend (Pat read as 24th, I read as 29th, but very hard to read).1,3,2
     James Manson married Elizabeth McAdy on 27 Dec 1753 in the Par. of Watten, CAI, SCT, IGI entry: James Manson to Elizabeth MacKady and the OPR entry shows James as being "of Banks of Scouthal and Elizabeth Mackady there, accomplished 27 Dec 1753" (which reinforces the identification of James as highly likely to be the s/o James and Euphan, as does the birth of a dtr named Euphan).4,5
     James Manson died aft. 1755 probably at the ?Banks of Scouthal, Watten, CAI, SCT.
     In Dec 1753 James Manson was living at the Banks of Scouthal, Watten, CAI, SCT.5 James and Elizabeth were still living at the Banks of Scouthal, Watten, CAI, SCT, in Apr 1755 when their dtr Euphan was baptised.6
