I have identified a family group of graves at Lochrutton church. Mine are a line of John Hyslops, however with the way the graves lie it is obvious there is a set of four if not 5 or more graves which are all related.
I'm chasing the DGFHS to see if I can get a copy of an out of print newsletter (no 11) which mentions this family of Hyslops.
Does anyone know of or have links with these Hyslops?
The residences mentioned are; Southpark, Brae, Nether-Barr, Congeith, Kirkland, Carswadda, Drumcoltran.
The earliest death mentioned is John Hyslop in Barwhae 1761 and most recent death is John Hyslop at Southpark 1955.
I would love to hear from anyone who has links with any Hyslops from these places as I believe they are all members of the same family group.

Hi Sparkle
No links at the moment but can you tell me the date of the out of print newsletter? I might have it up in Scotland.

Its July 1991 (no 11) so it is quite an old one. The article is on pages 4 and 5 allegedly.
I'm very excited about the Hyslops as it looks like after months of ag labs and servants I've found my rich interesting relations!
Thanks very much for looking!

I know my journals don't go that far back - ever so sorry. I'll have a look at the MIs and study the grouping and see if I can see something in there as well

Added -the library in Castle Douglas has a good local history section. They might have something if the D & G FHS can't come up with it.

No worries Gadget. Hopefully the DGFHS have a master or something that I can get a photocopy of.
The graves are at Lochrutton and they are references 180, 194, 195, 198, 199. All sat very close to each other and definitely a family group. Some of the family members have abodes quite far away from Lochrutton (Nether-Barr, Corsock for example) but are still buried with the group.
The church itself is half a mile up a little track from the Old Military (Roman) Road. Its on the side of a hill (very remote and very beautiful) and one of the family farms lies at the bottom of the track (Southpark).
No problem if you don't get a chance to look.
I'm just chuffed its such a big family group. I hope they were as close in life as they are in death!

I got my hand on the article . It appears that my G.G.G.G.Grandfather went to the USA with his brother and they bought some land. He returned but his brother stayed in the states, his brother later died of yellow fever in the US leaving the family plot of land unclaimed.... damn, I could have been rich 
But I'm glad he returned home as I probably wouldn't be here now
Now to try and prove the story... should be fun

My cousin Robert Davidson married Barbara Hyslop and they stayed at South Park. Barbara's family famred South Park and when she inherited the farm she moved in with her husband and family. The family firm of Fred Davidson and son Haulage Contractors are run from this base. Let me know if you would like to hear any more information.

HI Kath,
Have just sent you a message. I didn't realise the Davidsons/Hyslops were connected! But I suppose it all makes sense!
I would love to hear more!

Hello. I just came across this thread and noted the reference to Agnes Davidson. I have a relation on my tree by that name who was born in Lochrutton in 1838 and died there in 1908. She was the daughter of Wm Davidson, Blacksmith at Lochfoot and Janet Wilson. Janet was the daughter of my GGGgf, William Wilson, the previous Blacksmith. If this is of interest, I can give you a little more information on the family, although I cannot find the birth of the above William @ 1773. I have a photo of Davidson Grave in the Lochrutton church grave yard.

Hi Sparkle, I am related to the Hyslops at Lochrutton.
My great grandmother was Margaret Jane Hyslop, born 1846 and she married George Ireland (a farm servant) in December 1870 at Lochrutton. Margaret died 9th October 1918 and both Margaret and George are buried in Lochrutton Cemetery, Lochfoot.
My grandmother Susan Ireland was born at Lochside Cottage, Lochrutton in 1886. Susan married David Muirhead (a shepherd from Lochfoot) on the 3rd March 1914, at Kirkland, Lochrutton Gate. David was killed in WWI and his war grave is also at Lochrutton. Unfortunately I have no more info on the Hyslops.
Hope the information is of some use to you.

Warboys - I have found a lot more out about the Hyslops since I posted this I'll pm you if that is okay?
I think we are fairly closely related as I'm also from The Ireland Branch. My G. Grandpa is George Ireland, son of George Ireland the farm servant; older brother of Susan.
I suspected but did not know for sure that Margaret and George were buried at Lochrutton Cemetary; I was going up there to have a look on my next trip up. So thank you. Now that I know they are there I'll take some flowers
I have seen David Muirhead's grave at lochrutton. I took a picture of it. I had no idea I was distantly related to him!
David's grave:

David is on the war memorial here:

JA- sorry I managed to miss your post, I'll have a sort through and try to find where and if your Davidsons/Hyslops are related. I've actually managed to tie most of the Hyslop branches together so it is all good!
lochfoot- again I need to go back and have a look at the Davidsons to see where it all fits together.
After all this posting the first time it took my Mum to remind me that I friend that I had when I was younger is related to the Davidsons also. Small world!

I have a Helen Leckie Hyslop b.27 Feb 1858 Southpark, Lochrutton, daughter of John Hyslop and Elizabeth Leckie. But know no more than that, but by the dates I'm sure it can't be the correct Helen.
Do you know any more about your Helen and I'll try to place her.
Cheers
