There are two individuals called James Lind who were Fellows of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh at this time. The older James Lind was born in 1716 and is most famous for conducting research into the cause and treatment of scurvy. His younger cousin James Lind was born in 1736 and was a physician with interests in natural sciences and botany. He was a similar age to the other founding members making it more likely that he was the Aesculapian. Aesculapian Lind resigned membership of the club after only 11 months in March 1774. In 1774, the younger James Lind is known to have failed to secure a professorship in Edinburgh. ^[11] Dr Andrew Duncan 'The Elder' and Daniel Rutherford were also applicants.

There is no record that William Greenfield was a Fellow of either the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh or the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh. He was elected a member of the Harveian Society of Edinburgh in 1793 and it was a custom of that Society that non-medical guests who joined in heartily with the proceedings could be invited on multiple occasions and became honorary members by acclamation. ^[30]

It appears that Thomas Wood was re-elected to the Club in 1796 having resigned membership in 1784.

Sir Charles Bell died in 1842 and was not a member of the Aesculapian Club. Aesculapian Charles Bell was the nephew of Sir Charles Bell and the younger brother of Aesculapian George Hamilton Bell. ^[55]
