Katherine Scot 1 2
- Born: 30 Sep 1771
- Christened: 1 Oct 1771, Cullen 3
- Marriage: Alexander Duncan about 1796
General Notes:
From the OPR we can be quite certain my ancestor Ann Duncan, who was born on 20/5/1797 and baptized at Cullen on 23/5/1797, is the "natural" child of Alexander Duncan, a Royal Navy surgeon who was living at Broom, a farmhouse in the parish of Fordyce next to Cullen. Ann's mother is Kathrine Scot of Burnside, baptized at Cullen on 1/10/1771. Burnside is a place to the west of Lintmill, which is about a mile south of Cullen village. When Ann was born the surgeon had already married and had two children aged six and seven living at Broom. (PTG 2006)
Katherine had a relationship with Alexander Duncan, son of John Duncan and Elspet Davidson, about 1796. (Alexander Duncan was christened on 11 Oct 1763 in Keith, Banffshire 4 and died on 13 Feb 1826 in Cullen, Banff, Scotland 5 6.)
