RE: Who is this person?
(The below is in response to Laurie's query about why Mary and Abraham were married in a Presbyterian service rather than Episcopalian ... Dunno how I managed to get it so out of order)
Laurie ... I dont know the answer. But ... as I previously mentioned somewhere ... there does seem to have been an 'affiliation' to Mary's Scottish heritage. The names of some of the children have distinct Scottish links. William Wallace. Well I mean ... anyone remember the film Braveheart? William Wallace? And then there's Robert ( check out Robert The Bruce). Ok, Edward was the name of the hated English king Edward I. Not Edward the confessor ... he was earlier. Im talking the "Hammer of the Scots" Edward I, also called Longshanks, who captured William Wallace. I think Edward was named after a friend of the family. Thomas is of course a common enough name (it was my Dad's ... an Irishman). My point is that the Scots and Presbyterianism are almost synonyms (providing you're not a Glasgow Celtic supporter). |
