In 1602 the merchant and burgess of Zamosc William Buchan called fellow Scotsman Caspar Hussen (SSNE 5070) of Kleparow as a witness that his parents in Aberdeen were Thomas and Elizabeth Buchan. William's brother, Alexander, had just died in Sebinow, 5 miles from Bialogrod. John Armandt of Cracow and William Babintor of Zamosc also testified to this.
