The PDF article by Malcolm MacGilvray would appear to have a glaring error - it gives him the wrong wife.
John Bethune in fact married Barbara Margaret Munro - this is clearly documented in the FASTI.

Is there a picture available of the Bible by any chance? (He was my great-great-great-grandfather.) Comment left on 24 February 2022 at 08:36 by Prue McLennan
