Notes about James Moffat

1. Ref: Scottish Coal Mining Ancestors, author Lindsay S. Reeks. Gateway Press, Baltimore 1986.
PATRICK MOFFAT's bp. has not been found. He may have been the son of a James Moffat, who was called "elder" when he witnessed the bp. of James, son of James Moffat, colehewer, and Agnes Nisbet in Inveresk p. 30 Jul. 1660 [71].
It is believed that Agnes Nisbet died shortly, possibly of childbirth, and that James m. next a Janet Kaidyly, for they had a son, Patrick, bp. in Inveresk p. 15 May 1664 [4]
A witness, David Sinclair, was also a witness at the bp. of James, son of James & Agnes Nisbett. The other witness to the bp. of Patrick was Patrick Moffat, believed to have been James' brother.
Inveresk marriage records did not begin until 1690, so that any ms. of the above couples will not be found in Inveresk p. However, it was learned that James Moffat m. Janet Kaidyly 17 Sep. 1661 in Lasswade p. [94]. They had a son, James, bp. there with a res. of Hatherdean 25 Aug. 1662 [95].
