"John Butler and Isobel Swinton were on 14th April 1677, and their daughter Isobel was born in March 1678. John Butler was son of Patrick Butler of Harperdean (died January 1670) and Catherine Congalton, his wife, which Patrick was only son of John Butler of Harperdean (died December 1656) and Anna Herriot, his wife. There were about this time Butlers of Kirklands of Bolton, a few miles to the south of Haddington, and it seems probable that this Harperdean family was connected with them."
