Generation: 3

  1. 6.  Gawin Lawther was born on 23 Aug 1740 in Ireland.

    Notes:


    !1)His name appears as "Gawn" also. This was the spelling of his paternal grandfather's name. 2)Beside his name in parenthesis appears the following (Killinchy). What does this mean? Note on p. 13 of PLT Archives TV15 1m2 states "All (of the children) went to America but Gawin of second family". This could mean, as I read the note, that all children of Gawin, of both his marriages, or it may mean only the children of the second marriage went to America, excepting Gawin. Did he remain in Ireland and reside in Killinchy? Check map of Ireland.
