General Notes:
"As a country house dweller in Gardenstown, Banffshire for more than 30 years, I have always taken a keen interest in the local Kirk of St John, the burial place of Major Alexander Garden, 1st Laird of Troup and his son Alexander Garden, 2nd Laird of Troup and their wives Betty Strachan, daughter of Alexander Strachan of Glenkindy, and Bathia Forbes, daughter of Sir John Forbes of Craigievar....
These two seventeenth century stones are of huge importance to the history of the village of Gardenstown and should not be lost....
The legends are :
'Here lyes interred the bodye of Major Alexandre Garden of Troupe, who departed this life March 1682 (?), and Alexander garden of Troupe, his son, who departed this life Aprile 27th 1731'
and
'Here lyes interrd the bodies of Betty Strachan spouse to Major Alexander Garden of Troup who departed this life .....( indecipherable) and Bathia Forbes spouse to Alexander Garden of Troup who departed this life....... Not all clear .' "
from Eileen Bishop quoted in Wikitree
"Here lyes interr'd the bodies of BESSY STRACHAN, spouse to Major Alexander Garden of Troupe, who departed this life .. and
Mistress BATHIA FORBES, spouse to Alexander Garden of Troup who departed this life Aprile 28th 1731."
