[I haven’t found a marriage for John Futtit and Mary Coup.]
[However this Mary Futtit is almost certainly Mary Coup since

2. A descendant of this marriage indicates Mary Coup and John Futtit are her great grandparents.
3. The youngest son in this census is named after Mary’s father William Coup(e)]
