BMDB data

     David McAdy was born cir. Jul 1747 Banks of Scouthell, Par. of Watten, CAI, SCT.3,1 He was baptized on 12 Jul 1747 Watten, Par. of Watten, CAI, SCT; entry reads: Watten 12th July 1797 George McAdy in Banks of Scouthel presented a child to be baptized begotten in lawful wedlock betwixt him and Isobel Man his spouse called David witnesses are Donald Charleson in Toftingall and David Sutherland in Bridgend.3,1

     Although the Dunbeath Heritage Centre McADIE tree shows David at Ruther, married to Elizabeth/Bettie (actually recorded as Isabella in records) COUPER as a son of John & Elspeth SUTHERLAND or DONALDSON, there is no obvious baptism of a David to this couple.
There is however, a baptism of a David of the right family connections and age to George & Isobel (MAN) McADIE, and David & Isabella's known children indicate his parents might be a George and an Isabel. So that is how they are shown here.6,7,4
