transcribed by Suzanne Walker

Robert Murdoch's baptism record is elusive, but there is an authority that supports the view that he belongs in this family:


"The above-mentioned Robert Murdoch and his wife, Jane M'Kenzie, had the following children:-Margaret, who married Harry Reid; John in Belnaboth, who married Christian, daughter of Angus Macbean; Robert in Craigielea, who married Isabella, daughter of William Brodie; William, who died young; and Alexander in Dalfrankie, house carpenter and violin maker, who married Isabella Ingram, and had one son and eight daughters.
William Murdoch, brother of the first-mentioned Robert Murdoch, married Jean Milne, and had, with three daughters, a son. William,
who married Jessie M'Donald, who, with others had a son, John, who is married to Mary Beattie. Margaret, sister of the first-mentioned
Robert Murdoch
, married John Glennie, who died at Leochry, Glenkindie, survived by numerous descendants."
