  • Notes 
    • David's death certificate confirms Parents as David Barclay & Ann Cuthill
      thus one David Barclay noted on 1841 census, living in the household of Beveridge so difficult at this point to prove tis our David Barclay. Various other databases indicate David Barclay Sr & Ann Cuthill had 2 boys named David Barclay and still unclear whether both survived or just one.
