I am interested in trying to obtain information about the Covenanter Stones in The Cathedral. The internal stone states that 9 men were hung at Glasgow Cross (19 March 1684). Of particular interest is firstly James Winning and then secondly John Main. I believe the James Winning is/was born to John Winning & Helen Maine on 5 October 1662 and this is what I am looking to confirm if possible. I've spoken with the Cathedral archivist but he has has no records other than the ones I know about but do not confirm anything. I know of reference made about the men in "A Cloud of Witnesses" but again found nothing conclusive. I've also been to Airdrie Library where the banner John Main carried at Bothwell Brig is on display. The librarian also could find no records which helped. Any help would be appreciated. Many thanks in advance, Bob

Thanks Charlie, I'll give them a try but I seem to be drawing blanks everywhere and have hit a brick wall with this one but I'll keep trying. Attachments:
