John Muir's son, Crawfurd replaced him as Town Clerk.
 There are two entries in the LDS IGI web site for their marriage, one for December 21 in Greenock and a second for December 24 in Inveraray and Glenaray in Argyll, this is why we have the Harriet Ross born October 25 and baptized November 1, 1785, in Inveraray and Glenaray, as his spouse.
