Farm Horse Tax Rolls 1797/8 Glenbervie
« on: Tuesday 06 April 21 13:58 BST (UK) »
I have a James Gillespie (5xGG) in these records as having two horses and I assume that he was a ploughman.  It is recorded that he was of Habbars or Chabbars in the parish but I have been unable to locate this. I do know that some of the family were at Tannachie which I have found but the location in the taxation records is a mystery.  Any suggestions will be much appreciated.

The tax roll records the place as "Kabbars".

The people listed are the owners of the horses, so he would be the tenant farmer, rather than a hired worker.

Thanks for your quick reply.  Now to look for Kabbars at NLS maps.

Wonder if it might have been a shortened form of the settlement called Bogincaber (Boggynkabyr)?
