Description: 
This diagram, drawn in brown ink, shows the number of the communicants in five of the parishes of Roxburghshire and Selkirkshire, before Whitsun in 1650. There is a better executed diagram, done at the same time, on image 00002203, which has some additional information, but is not merely the fine copy of this, as it lacks some of the information shown here. At the bottom of the sheet it begins north east of Hawick, and shows the churches at Minto and Hassendean, then those at Hawick itself, and at Wilton, which is now a suburb of Hawick. It then seems to have started to divide the settlements into those along the Teviot river, and those along Borthwick Water, as the two diverging branches are so named. However, only those settlements along Borthwick Water have been named, with the number of communicants written beside each name. Many of these names still exist on the modern map.
