Janet Beaton was also known as Janet Leitch as the BEATON and LEITCH names are somewhat inter-changeable in Argyll. Why this is so is unclear, there being several theories -possibly it is a reference to the BEATON doctors use of leeches and it has also been suggested that it is derived from the Old English name for a doctor being 'laece' > Leche > Leach/Leitch, although the relevance of OE words to the Mull area is questionable. Regardless of the reason, Janet, although baptised and married as a BEATON, is referred to in her husband's death entry and other documents as Janet LEITCH.
