Birth about 1639 Scotland Reason:

No sources were provided for date of 1639 and location of Old Castle Lachlan. While it is generally accepted that he came from Scotland, this too is not sourced and was not yet determined when the earliest family genealogy was done. Updating birth date to an estimate. He would have had to reach an age of maturity to be granted land at the time of record in Mass. and also served out his indentured servitude making him at least 20 when he was granted land in 1661. Were he in fact captured at Dunbar in 1650, then 1639 would have made him 11 during the battle and a less likely combatant. Still, better source material would help with the previously indicated birth location and date. Last Changed: January 12, 2021 Robert W Coppernoll
