Members of a family are presented sequentially in descending order of age, and an asterisk by a name indicates that the person was in full communion. On page 41 for the Yellow Breeches District, whose elder was Robert Patterson, John Calvert, 20, is in a sequence of names which includes the McCurdy family. John's first wife, Mary McCurdy, is listed there as Mary Morris with no age specified. Mary's brother David McCurdy is also 20. If John and David were 20 in 1789, they were born in about 1769.
