i agree with all you said about Margaret Adams and her siblings. Several descendants have published trees and have information about this family who farmed at Easter Beltie. it was on Margaret Strachan or Adams' death record on 17th November 1865, this is her and I have her will, that the record states that the informant is John Strachan (her son) and her parents were William Adams(farmer) and Bell Leighton. but I can't find anything for a marriage between two people of this name, but the surname Leighton, corresponds with everything else I find about this family. Jane Leighton herself had had a sibling, a Isobel born in 1771 but there is nothing more about an Isobel so I presume she died and I wondered if Jane had been given this name as a pet name or middle name, and used it. However, I have looked up the deaths of Margaret siblings and on their records, father is William Adams farmer and mother jane Leighton or Lighton . . .
