Baby Janet. 1764, 18 March
It is unclear from the records if baby Janet is the daughter of Katherine Forbes or another woman. The kirk session records at this time make it clear that they are still in the process of dealing with James Sinclair over the pregnancy of Katherine Forbes. They are not going to deal with him in the ‘common way’ which suggests they were wanting some financial contribution from him but it isn't shown as being received. James Sinclair was still seducing any girl he could lay his hands on so this wee Janet could be another new case. There is no further information in the kirk session records or baptisms on baby Janet.
