"EPITAPHS IN THE CHURCHYARD OF DALLAS.

Sacred to the memory of Peter Cuming of Craigmill, Esquire, who died at Blackhills on the 14th April, 1811, aged eighty-five years ; and Mrs. Isobel Leslie of Balnageith, his spouse, who died at Blackhills on the 30th November, 1823, aged ninety years.

Mrs. Cuming's ancestors, who acquired the property of Balnageith, near Forres, about the end of the 17th century, were a branch of the noble family of Rothes. The Rev. Mr. Leslie, minister of St. Andrews-Lhanbryde, who also .attained to the age of 90, was the father (see Note below) of Mrs. Cuming and other children, one of whom, a son, sold Balnageith about the year 1849."

from History of Moray

Note:

This is an error. William, the "Rev. Mr. Leslie, minister of St. Andrews-Lhanbryde" was the nephew of Mrs Cuming, not her father. He was the son of her brother Alexander. ^{1 2}
