William Howat (c1782 - ) I know very little about William Howat except he was a journeyman blacksmith and married Jean Wilson in Muirkirk, Ayrshire on 21 Jan 1803. The small section of map below is from John Thomson’s Atlas of Scotland 1832. It shows Ironworks and Garronhill as mentioned above.
Marriage : William Howat - Jean Wilson : 21 Jan 1803 Garronhill Garronhill Garronhill is the oldest part of Muirkirk village, and it came into being around 1631. The photos (dates unknown) show Garronhill looking East (left) and West (right).
