To the memory of William Scott
late Farmer in Glenkiln
in the Shire of Dumfries
who departed this life on 2nd of May
1845
in the 84th year of his age
and
Mary Blake his spouse
who died on 10th Dec.
1837
aged 70 years
and
Janet the eldest daughter in the family
who departed this life on the 21st of September
1847
in the 57th year of her age

Just to let you all know that because we found the grave, I then found Janet's death cert and also her fathers.  Janet's came under Mrs Smith her married name, they lived in Kirkconnel for a lot of their married life:

September 1847 -
 Mrs Smith from the Parish of Kirkconnel died of fever while on a visit -  20th... 25th September

Her father:
1845
Scott: Mr Scott, father of Mrs Mitchell. of apoplexy the 1st buried 7th May ...84yrs

Mrs Mitchell was Janet's sister (Elizabeth Clare (known as Betsy) Scott; married name Mitchell

Thanks everyone for all the help with finding information

I am currently researching my GGG grandfather, George Scott, a farmer who was born at Glenkiln in about 1805 and who married Margaret Mary Tinning, born 1813 at Tinwald House, Tinwald, Dumfries.  They were married at Tinwald House and their eldest daughter, Mary,  was baptised at Kirkmichael Church near Glenkiln before the family emigrated to USA - returning in time to be included on the 1851 census where other children, including my GG grandfather, William Young Scott,were registered as having been born in USA.  Anyone able to help here??

Thanks for that. Any help would be a move in the right direction!  The branch of Scots I am currently researching may not be directly 'related' to my brand, but the Glenkiln connection makes its strong possibility.  Yes, please,I would like to be 'put in touch' with the Canadian connection!

Hi Marilyn!
As you've probably gathered - I'm not very good at using RootsChat and may have been sending you blank messages because of clicking the wrong buttons!  Yes - here is my e-mail address (too complicated to sort it out via Ancestry as I thought I might be able to do ...)

Look forward to swapping information about the Scotts of Glenkiln, not that I have very much relating to that side of my Scottish ancestors, but I live in hope!!

Jenny
