Conflict between
Scots Ancestry Res.Soc. Report
vs.
tombstone
of Samuel Marjoribanks

The problem with matching the identity of Samuel Banks Sr. in SC with the Samuel Marjoribanks in Thornhill Scotland is that his birth in the parish record reported by Scots Ancestry Research Society is 1770 while his tombstone (below) implies he was born about 1764 (1851 - 87 years = 1764).
