Marriage Notes:
"Catherine, baptised December 4, 1727 (St. Paul's register). On the Kinellar vault she is called 'Catherine Ann'.She married William Fraser of Park, a small estate about six miles south of Fraserburgh, who was for long factor to the Saltoun family. The Kinellar vault bears the inscription : -
'Sacred to the memory of William Fraser of Park, Esquire, who resided 50 years in the adjoining mansion, highly respected, and died most sincerely regretted, on the 2nd day of December, 1800, in the 79th year of his age. Catherine Ann Gordon, his beloved wife, departed this life on the 20th day of September, 1795, aged 73. Her amiable, mild and gentle manner, her good sense, and sweetness of disposition, endeared her no less to her friends and acquaintances, than the spotless purity of her mind ; and the uniform practice of all her virtues which adorned private life attracted their admiration and esteem, and occasioned her loss to be greatly lamented. In grateful testimony of their united worth, and as a small tribute of pious respect for their beloved memory, this monument is erected by their surviving family, the 22nd day of December, 1801."
Notice that the date in this baptismal register (1727) does not correspond with the date on the tomb, which would make her born in 1722."
from Lesmoir
Note: William's age is not accurate either, not untypical for memorial inscriptions
He (William Fraser) married Catherine, daughter of John Gordon of Kinnellar, by his wife Henrietta Fraser, second daughter of William, eleventh Lord Saltoun (and sister of Eleanor Gordon, who was the wife of the fourteenth Lord), and by her had, at least, two sons and two daughters, between the latter of whom he left the estate of Park."
