she seems to have a large family and someone left details of her 1st  husband maybe they can help?.
 

I found the flat stone but it very hard to read it was so weather beaten . The headstone is supposed to read Tarves

"Here lies the body of Robert Brechen late of Kinharrachie who departed this life 1st Apr 1797 aged 57... Also of Margaret Gaven his spouse d 17 May 1809 aged 80. Likewise of Margaret Adam spouse to George Breichen (sic) Surgeon in Kinharrachie who d 9 Mar 1811 aged 51. Also of the above Dr George Breichen d 9 Oct 1821 aged 77.

George and Margaret were married in Chapel of Garioch and lived in Ellon until their deaths. I cant seem to find anything on George being a Doctor or surgeon

 Hi John
John Watt was Elizabeth Kelman Watt (Pirie) grandfather he was the informant at Elizabeth`s birth (20th Oct 1855)   I am not sure we have the same Elizabeth ? she went by previous names :
 Birth certificate she is registered as Elizabeth Kelman Watt no fathers name, she was living 125 High street .Marriage (17 Oct 1891) she is Eliza Perie, her father Alexander Pirie  (carter) deceased she was living 142 High street. Death (4th Feb 1934) she is Elizabeth Kelman Allan her father is John Pirie (farm servant ) deceased. I have been unable to find her father. Elizabeth had 3 children first son born  William Watt Pirie born (18 Nov 1872)  living  52 Low street, he  was named after her grandfather William Watt. Elizabeth changed her name from Watt to Pirie some time between 1855-1872. My grandfather her 2nd son was named James Ogston Norrie (23 Jul 1875) living Poor lodgings house, New Pitsligo,  his father was William Norrie from New Deer.James moved to England before 1901 and was the informant on Elizabeth`s death certificate in 1934. Elizabeth had her 3rd and last child  a daughter named Barbara Jane Duncan Pirrie ( 29 Oct 1886) 121  High street, again no father name Barbara left for Manitoba and married in Winnipeg 1911
