Hello
I saw your query re Maggie Grant at Fordmouth.
My ancestors Peter/John and Jean Gordon ms Cummin/g lived there in the early 1800's; their 2 sons took over the farm, John and Charles. John married a Margaret Ness/ or Innes, who was much younger than him.
John had a sister, Jean, who married John Grant from Inveravon, the two of them lived at Fordmouth then Gaulrig before leaving to live for the rest of their lives in Craig, Montrose.
I can only presume that the Grants who moved in later on were related to this John Grant? John's mother was Isabel Burgis/ Isabella Burgess, his father was John Grant, I could not find any brothers or sisters listed.
I don't know if you have seen the farm? It is in a very beautiful setting. Unfortunately the farmer living there declined to answer my letter to him, I just wanted to know if the house was the original one.
