     Alexander Manson was born cir. Jun 1732 at Banks of Scowthall, Par. of Watten, CAI, SCT.2 He was christened on 2 Jun 1732 in the Par. of Watten, CAI, SCT; s/o James, no mother given on igi. OPR entry (from Pat) reads: 1732, 22nd (mth not decipherable?) James Manson, Banks of Scowthall, had a child baptised called Alexander Wit: Alexander and John Malcom, both Watten (?any relation of Euphen's?).1,2
     Alexander Manson is a potential duplicate of Alexander Manson; Donald Sutherland believes his Alexander Manson (married to Isobel Charleson) is my Alexander, s/o James and Euphan but naming pattern of the children of his Alexander Manson and Isobel Charleson indicate that Alexander is probably the son of an Alexander and Margaret, rather than James and Euphan.3 Alexander Manson is a potential duplicate of Alexander Manson; the one married to Helen Charleson, as the only IGI marriage of an age and in the right parish, however the OPR marriage entry for Helen & Alexander shows Alexander to be from Bylbster, not a place generally associated with "my" Mansons.4
