• Notes

  John is described in Stewarts of the South as being from Duart in Glenfinglas, but presently (1815) a Moss Laird (living on Flander's Moss, Kincardine, Perthshire). He had one son who was described as a brewer and innkeeper in Stirling with three or four sons himself. The marriage and children shown here are not confirmed but are an excellent match with the preceding description. The marriage shown here records John as being from Balquhidder parish and Jean from Callander. This family is found having children from 1773 - 1784 in Groddich in Glenfinglas, which is very close to Duart. Then about 1785-ish they moved to Blair Drummond Moss. They are found in the 1814 Blair Drummond Moss census residing at Drip Moss #10 and are recorded as having come from Balquhidder. The fact that John and Jean lost four children after moving to the Moss, including all three who were born after they moved to the Moss, is a testament to the harsh living conditions on the Moss.
