What it says
The shared online tree, seen in a screenshot of the landscape pedigree on 10 Oct 2026 (focus
person K2Y9-975, off the left edge). Only the cards are seen, not the sources attached to each person.
Compiled; the comparison with the archive, WikiTree and the Ancestry tree is in
research/ellingwood/Short_Pattullo_Comparison.md.

The cards for John Short (1785), Alexander Pattullo, Thomas Robson, George Steel, John Lyall, Patrick Simpson, John Jeffray and Alexander Inglis carry the arrow that opens a further generation, so the tree may go further back on those lines than the screenshot shows.
Halket Pattullo’s death, 1855: not an error, as first thought (corrected 10 Oct 2026, evening).
His widow’s gravestone at Woodstock has him dying “in Blenheim, this county, June 7, 1855”
(gravestone-jane-robson-1879); the 1865 of Bourdon and WikiTree has nothing shown behind it.
Not an error, as first thought (corrected 10 Oct 2026): Jean Watson’s 1768. Her gravestone
gives her age as 83 at her death on 8 Aug 1852 (gravestone-alexander-pattullo-1828), so she was
born in 1768 or 1769. The 1771 Prestonpans baptism that WikiTree gives her (daughter of James Watson
and Jean Dickson, FamilySearch XY2G-V2K) may be a namesake’s.
