Research Notes:
The source of much Howie information is a lady who has researched the Howie family since about 1980.
There is not conclusive proof that the David Howie born in 1768 and discharged from the Army in 1802 is the David Howie that married Margaret Shannen in 1803. But the circumstantial evidence is strong.
Relativity:
• Proof Link: Daughter's death.
• Branch: McWalter.
David married Margaret Shinnan, daughter of James Shinnan and Margaret Dick, in Oct 1803 in Craigie, Ayrshire. (Margaret Shinnan was born on 17 Feb 1779 in St Quivox, Ayr and died on 19 Nov 1856 in Galston, Ayrshire.)
