Notes

[1] Son: On this subject we find we made a mistake in the first two sentences in the Note at foot of p. 71, ante, which should read, as follows: Captain Edward Perry (who m. Margaret Perry) was the son of George Perry by his wife Isabella Graham, heiress of her brother Colonel Richard Graham, of Culmaine, on the death, s.p. of his only son, in 1761. Said Colonel Richard was son of Hector Graham, by his wife Jane Walkinshaw.
