Hi Gloria ,

Just looked at this sight for first time and noticed your search for Agnes Farquarson 3 years ago. She was also my 3Ggrandmother . She died on 10 Sept 1858 and is buried in Fettercairn Churchyard. Craighill, St. Cyrus. Her daughter Esther was my 2ggrandmother.
Her parents were Alexander and Elizabeth Ferrier who were married 22 Jul 1786 at Inverkeillor, Kincardineshire

Many thanks in advance.

Sorry there's no record of Carnegie or Shepherd graves in Benholm Kirkyard.

Jean,

Because you provided me with the info on those three adjacent stones, you motivated me to start on my collateral lines.    Obviously I'm interested in any other Fullertons that show up in your records but also wonder if some additional names might be recorded - I'm trying to track the female branches here.  Although the marriages occurred in Benholm, I have no particular evidence they stayed there.

Walter Loch and Margaret Fullerton
John Craigie and Margaret Fullerton (lots of Margarets!)
John Duthie and Annabella Bisset Fullerton
John Greigson and Ann Fullerton
Alexander Strachan and Jean Fullerton

Thanks for anything you can provide!

Those Fullertons and related names associated with the family of George Fullerton and Margaret Pirie who resided at Mains of Dun about 1740 and Knox of Benholm after 1760, and their descendents scattered from Lunan to Peterhead, across Canada and the United States, and assuredly elsewhere.

Hi, Jean.  Thanks for getting back to me.

Unfortunately I have only snippets on any of these, mostly from the IGI and old notes from my searches of the OPRs years ago.  I have no solid death dates for any of these people but since I wrote the query a couple days ago I've discovered some indications that several may not have remained in Benholm.  Here's what I have:

Walter Loch and Margaret Fullerton  were married Jan 1808 and apparently had children born in Benholm as late as 1827.  I am not certain which Margaret this was since at least two in the family would have been an appropriate age.  One of those, by the way, is the Margaret Fullerton who married John Law in 1828 and whose stone you've already found - its possible that Loch was the first marriage and after his death she married Law (she was 50 and he was 65 at their marriage.)

John Craigie and Margaret Fullerton were married Nov 1854 in Benholm.  Two cousins are possibles for this Margaret, the daughters of Robert and of his brother John who were sons of David, the tenant at Knox of Benholm.  Because Robert is found in Lawrencekirk and Garvock at other times, its most likely John's daughter, b. 1828.

John Duthie and Annabella Bisset Fullerton were married Dec 1854 and had a son John in 1858 in Benholm.  No further info available yet.

John Greigson and Ann Fullerton (b.1824) were married  June 1845 and had three children in Benholm by 1850.  Ann was another daughter of John, son of David.  No more info yet.

Alexander Strachan and Jean Fullerton were earlier - Jean, b. 1745, was the daughter of George and Margaret (Pirie) Fullerton, and sister of David.  The marriage is recorded as 1771 in Benholm.  I have no information on them other than the reference on the stone for her parents that says she died before 1801 (as did two of her brothers.)

Thanks for anything you find - I've really only just started looking for these families so anything would be new and useful to me.

Ok, I'll see if I can come up with anything. I've already looked at the pre 1855 gravestone index and there's nothing there. But I'll check my inscriptions and see if there's any later gravestones. I'm wondering if the ones who were married in the 1850's may have died after the Benholm kirkyard was closed and hence may be buried in Johnshaven. But I'll see if I can find anything and get back to you as soon as I can.
