NOTE
George, a Blacksmith, was born c 1782 at Alvah, Banff. & died in 1821. Margaret died aged 8 yrs & Mary aged 4 yrs. I found it strange that Christian had 2 sons named William ? especially as the first one clearly survived ?
William, a Farmer/Cart Wright, was born c 1785 at Alvah, banff. & died in 1878. His parents were Alexander Gray & Marjory Mitchell.
Erected by W. Scott shoemaker in Banff in memory of his much beloved brother George Scott late blacksmith at Wardend d. 3 June 1821 aged 39 also of Margaret d. 1814 aged 8, Mary d.1815 aged 4, daus.of said George Scott. His wife Christian Chalmers d. 16 June 1871 aged 85; their son William Scott d. 28 mar. 1874 aged 57. His son George d. 6 Mar. 1845 aged 3.
I believe in the above headstone the Margt. recorded was possibly an illigitmate child he had with Margt. Muir.
