Christening of David Jafferson Mollison is recorded in Kirkden 19 April 1858; two other possible children of David and Ann: Jean Mollison born 15 Mar 1856 in Rescobie, and JaneKnight Mollison born 24 Sep 1862 in Guthrie. Marriage of David Mollison & Ann Knight was recorded in Aberlemno 1 Dec 1843 and also in Rescobie on 18 Nov 1843. Ann Knight is possibly the daughter of James Knight & Elizabeth Jafferson and sister of Alex Knight (31 May 1826) and John Knight (23 Feb 1829) who were christened in St. Vigeans and listed as sons of James Knight & Elizabeth (Jafferson). Believe Ann's full name to be Margaret Ann Jafferstone (or Jafferson) Knight.
