    "This stone was erected by David Low, Brewer in Dundee, on his own property (!!!), in memory of his son David, who died 11th February 1808, aged 14 months.'

    No indication of the whereabouts of the stone. The quoted exclamation marks were probably an insertion by the editor.

    • William Low Donald's birth and baptism record states that he was named for "Son of Dd [raised D, for David] Low, Brewer." Not certain if this indicated that said David Low, Brewer, was a witness?

    William Donald, 25, occupation "Car[p.?] I.?]

    [Although William's profession is not given as "starcher," and he is not found with wife and children, this may be him. He is the right age, and enumerated next to him is a James Milne. William's daughter married a Milne --possibly his son?
