  [S2075] RAM Theory. I have David Erskine b. 1803, a brother John Erskine b. cir 1815 (Verified from August 08, 1850: Note from David Erskines Record Book that " My brother John commenced living with me") and a brother Thomas, b.October 18, 1812. I do not have my resource for Thomas listed, so I am immediately suspicious until I find that connection resource. My point here is that these 2/3 brothers range from 1803 to 1815, which is not a stretch for children born during this time, but the lack of any other siblings in between, is not congruous. It could not be because of the potato famines, because that first occurred cir 1820/1840/1850. What I am saying then is that I believe there would be other children. Here is my found reference to aforementioned brother Thomas Erskine. This was not connected ideally to our David and Anne, but was provided by an Irish researcher to one of the Thompson researchers: Public Records Office, Parish Records Office for Seagoe, Ireland, Reference: Mic/1/73, 74, 75 Burials: David Erskine of Tarson, buried March 20, 1834, aged 78. Janet Erskine of Tarson, buried 2, February, 1842, aged 66. Sarah Erskine, buried 7-4-1816, aged 63. Baptism: Thomas, baptised18-10-1812. Parents David and Janet Erskine, of Upper Seagoe. I have used these folks, ie David and Janet as the parents of our David w/o any real connective data. Thomas, brother/son, fell into the fold because of David and Janet. Seagoe looks to be about 10 miles from Portadown as best as I can make of it from an internet map. The strength of the surname Erskine in Scotland, and it's minimal frequency as a stand alone in Ireland, leads me to believe there is a connection Between David and Janet, even if it is not the one I have proposed here.
