The bones found in the Fairlie plot and not recognised by the Fairlie family are now known to be of a chapwoman, Margaret by name, who died in the parish in the autumn of 1804. The bones of her and her child were buried on the north side of the church on Wednesday.
Henry Robbins, manservant at Letho House, was called to compear before the Kirk Session accused of fornication. He was examined and found to be repentant, and as the woman is dead, he was forthwith readmitted to church privileges.
The poors’ fund were counted and distributed.
Meeting closed with prayer,
Ninian Jack,
Session Clerk.
