Copland - Montrose and Farnell

[Gali]

Is anyone researching the Copland/Coupland family who were based in Montrose and Farnell at the end of the 1700s and early 1800s?

I’m interested in James Copland, master of the sloop ‘Two Brother’s of Montrose’, who died in 1823 in Montrose. His last will and testament mentions a sister, Agnes, married to Robert Lindsay, a tailor in Montrose (they were married 1795 in Montrose), another sister, Ann, widow of David Brechin (they were married in 1794 in Farnell) and a half sister, Jean.

Who were their parents? Where were the children born? I am unable to locate any conclusive information from the local OPRs.

Was Agnes Copland married first to an Andrew Souter/Soutter in Farnell in 1789?

Are these Coplands related to the Coplands of Myerstone/Rescobie some of whom are buried in Tannadice churchyard?

The name Copland seems rare for Angus at this time, it is more common in Aberdeenshire and Dumfries.
