• Notes

  John Browne's origin and departure is hypothesied: Two of John Barclay's other indentured servants had arrived as transported prisoners aboard the Seaflower from Leith There may be confusion over the records of John Brown, imported by George Gordon, and John Browne, shoemaker, imported by John Barclay.
