    Notes:

    A farmer

    In October 1797 - an Andrew Caverhill and Thomas Caverhill were at Bonjedward and a Thomas Caverhill was at Houston (Ulston) - Farm Horse Tax Roll.
    In the 1700's there appears to have been two men by the name of Thomas Caverhil; about the same age and living in the vicinity of Jedburgh. Perhaps they were first cousins?
    One Thomas Caverhill was a Wright and Merchant in Jedburgh and he appears to have been the one who married Jane Jerdon (Jean Jerdone/Jerdan etc) and later Jean Douglas.
    A Thomas Caverhill appears to have been a nephew of Archibald Jerdon of Bonjedward (who was previously known as Jerdon/Jerdone Caverhill). This must have been another and later Thomas Caverhill as Archibald Jerdon was not baptised till 5/3/1780 in Jedburgh. The parents of Jerdon/Jerdone Caverhill were Thomas Caverhill and Jean (Jane) Jerdon (Jerdone/Jerdan). Their other child was Jean Caverhill, born 23/3/1778 and baptised on 4/4/1778 in Jedburgh. (If Jean Jerdon was baptised on 23/12/1739 in Jedburgh her father was Andrew Jerdan).
    The other Thomas Caverhill (of the two of similar time period etc) was a Farmer at Ulston and he appears to be the one who married Isabel Renwick c1769 in Jedburgh - this Thomas Caverhill was born in 1737 and died in Ulston in 1825 at the age of 88. He was the son of an Andrew Caverhill who was a tenant at Bonjedward. This Thomas Caverhill was the father of Janet/Jenet Caverhill who married George Douglas the Innkeeper in Jedburgh - this is verified by her age of 32 on a gravestone in the Jedburgh Abbey Graveyard in Jedburgh. (Janet or Janet Caverhill the daughter of the other Thomas Caverhill - the Wright and Merchant - was some years older).
    It has also been said that the Thomas Caverhill who married Jane Jerdon and Jean Douglas was a nephew of an Andrew Caverhill of Jedburgh (and Bonjedward too?)
    The Andrew Caverhill who was the father of Thomas Caverhill 1737 was born in 1704 in Jedburgh (his father was a Thomas Caverhill) so the Andrew Caverhill at Bonjedward in 1797 was obviously a later Andrew Caverhill.
    Andrew Caverhill 1704 was baptised on 26/11/1704 at Jedburgh. He married Agnes Madder on 3/8/1736 at Jedburgh. Besides having Thomas Caverhill in 1737 they also had Elisabeth Caverhill baptised on 31/5/1747 at the Jedburgh Associate Congregation Church, Jedburgh and Agnes Caverhill baptised on 23/4/1749 also at the same Jedburgh Church. It is also likely that they had Jenet Caverhill baptised on 5/5/1745 at the Jedburgh Associate Congregation Church and Margaret Caverhill born in Jedburgh on 21/2/1739 - the father of Jenet and also of Margaret was an Andrew Caverhill.

    (Research):Jean Douglas/Douglas the second wife of Thomas Caverhill the Wright and Merchant in Jedburgh was the daughter of a John Douglass. Jean may have been the Jean Douglas born at St Cuthberts, Edinburgh, Midlothian on 29/1/1749 to John Douglas and Elizabeth Sellars. Moreover, Jean's first child and daughter with Thomas Caverhill was an Elizabeth.

    Thomas married Isabel Renwick about 1788. Isabel (daughter of John Renwick) was born before 1789; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
