- Notes
- Two men and a woman with the same last name testified against her. Her family? I think she was from Kirkcudbright (although Larner had her from Dumfries). She was accused of killing a man in 1629 and investigated, not sure if this was a witchcraft accusation or natural murder. She had a 26 year old son, therefore age estimate (26+25).
